On the fourth level of the Sealed Sword Tower, five silhouettes stood proudly. Their sword intent was shocking and their killer's intent was shocking.
Ling Xian's expression turned serious. He didn't dare to be reckless.
Though the silhouettes had no consciousness, with his experience, he could defeat them one by one. However, there was a prerequisite.
He could survive thousands of rebuttals under the attacks of the five silhouettes.
If he can hold on, then he has the possibility to defeat them. If he cannot, then he will be thrown out of the Sealed Sword Tower.
Therefore, Ling Xian condensed a sword in each hand. In a defensive stance, he battled against the five silhouettes.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The five silhouettes formed an impenetrable net of attacks. Like a storm, they were able to split open the sky.
This made Ling Xian fall into a difficult battle. Though he could defend with his swords, the sharpness of the swords still left wounds on his body.
His robe was torn and fresh blood was pouring out. After just a moment, he looked a little exhausted. However, these were only some scratches and nothing serious.
"Soon. After a few hundred more rebuttals, I will be able to see through them."
Ling Xian squinted his eyes. His swords formed a defensive stance as he defended against the storm-like attacks.
Time passed by little by little. After half an hour, he was covered in wounds and his robe was dyed red.
However, the result was gratifying. After more than a thousand rebuttals, he finally found a flaw.
"It's my turn."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. His sword intent exploded!
HOMMMM!
His sword intent split open the sky. Though it didn't shatter the five silhouettes, it almost disintegrated.
In the next second, Ling Xian appeared behind two of the silhouettes like a ghost. His swords pierced forward and destroyed them.
Then, his swords turned into a shapeless wind that engulfed the remaining three silhouettes.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
His sword intent was extremely sharp. The three silhouettes were defenseless and completely disappeared.
"It's finally over …"
Ling Xian exhaled a mouthful of murky air and relaxed.
The fourth level was truly difficult. Or in other words, every level before this was not easy.
Though the silhouettes had no consciousness, to find a flaw was not an easy task. They had to last for hundreds of rebuttals.
In a situation where they were outnumbered, how many of them could withstand a hundred or even a thousand moves?
"No wonder even the 12th Sword, a Heaven's Favorite, stopped at the fourth level. It sure isn't easy." Ling Xian exclaimed then smiled.
He had passed the fourth level. Did this mean that he had surpassed the Twelfth Sword?
"I've already come this far. Let's try to pass the fifth level and obtain the Sword Sealing Stone."
Staring at the stairs leading to the fifth level, Ling Xian's eyes flashed with anticipation. However, he didn't have high hopes.
The old man had already said that his opponent in the fifth level of the Sword Sealing Pagoda was him. In other words, he could only win if he surpassed himself.
If he could use all of his capabilities, Ling Xian would have some confidence. But if he could only use the Sword of Wind, he wasn't so sure.
"Let's go and take a look."
Ling Xian faintly grinned and placed the stone into his pouch. He then marched onto the fifth level.
Instantly, a ray of heavenly light enveloped him. Then, a silhouette that was no different from him appeared. The silhouette's temperament was like that of an immortal and extraordinary.
"It really is me …"
Ling Xian squinted his eyes. The Sword of Wind in his right hand and the silhouette did the same.
"Myself is the hardest to surpass. Even if I don't lose, I cannot win."
"Only by breaking through at that moment can I defeat him."
Ling Xian shook his head. Knowing that he cannot win, he decided not to make a move and left the Sword Sealing Pagoda.
…..
When the fourth level of the Sword Sealing Pagoda lit up, everyone was in shock. Then, they stared at the fifth level.
The 12th Sword was no exception.
If the fifth level lit up, then it meant Ling Xian had surpassed him. Therefore, he was a little nervous and didn't want the fifth level to light up.
Sadly, he was disappointed.
The bright light from the fifth level meant Ling Xian had passed the fourth level and surpassed the 12th Sword!
This shocked everyone and made them stare with their mouths wide open.
The 12th Sword was the same.
He, who was sitting in a lotus position, suddenly stood up with a "bang". His face was full of shock.
"He passed the fourth level. How dominating."
"Unbelievable. Remember that even the 12th Sword stopped at the fourth level. He is the strongest descendant of the House of Swords!"
"Just where did this person come from? You should know that many famous swordsmen are unable to pass through the fourth level, yet he did it. Isn't he a little too powerful? "
Everyone was in awe and they were in awe.
Passing the fourth level was already shocking enough. Now that the 12th Sword was helping him, it was even more shocking.
"He passed the fourth level …"
The 12th Sword's hands tightened. There was unwillingness and bitterness.
He knew that he had become a side character that made Ling Xian even more powerful and stunning!
"I cannot believe the one who will be embarrassed is the 12th Sword …"
An old man sighed, causing everyone to fall silent.
Though Ling Xian and the 12th Sword were not enemies and they never even spoke, it was far too coincidental. One was in front and the other was behind. It was hard for people to not compare themselves.
Therefore, when Ling Xian entered the Sword Sealing Pagoda, everyone said he wasn't smart and thought he would bring out the 12th Sword's powerfulness.
It was just that no one had expected that the final result would be the 12th Sword becoming a foil!
Just then, a ray of light flashed by. After it dissipated, Ling Xian's silhouette was revealed.
His robe was torn and he was covered in blood. He looked exhausted.
But to everyone else, this wasn't a sign of exhaustion, it was a sign of powerfulness!
Because not only did he pass the fourth level, he also surpassed the 12th Sword!
Therefore, everyone's eyes were full of respect. It was as if they were facing a swordsman and they respected him from the bottom of their hearts.
"Sadly, I couldn't pass the fifth level and get the Sealed Sword Stone."
Ling Xian revealed a look of pity. But after thinking about it, he understood.
The fifth level of the Sword Sealing Pagoda was far too difficult. Under the situation where his opponent was him, even the talented Elder of Nine Swords may not win.
Plus, he had gained enough. Four stones of the highest quality were enough to increase the Dao Seeking Sword's power by 30 percent!
"Four stones of the highest quality are worth over 100 million in total. I only paid one million spiritual stones. So worth it."
Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction. He marched forward in giant steps and entered the Sword Sealing Pagoda again.
This startled everyone. Then, their expressions turned strange.
"You sure are capable to be able to pass the fourth level. I admire you."
The elder exclaimed, revealing his heartache.
"You have flattered me."
Ling Xian grinned and threw out one million spiritual stones, "Move, I want to enter the Sword Sealing Pagoda again."
"Master, the Sword Sealing Pagoda has a rule. Those who pass the first level cannot enter again after three months." The elder didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he guessed Ling Xian's plan.
"Then how long will it take for me to pass the fourth level?" Ling Xian frowned.
"Three years." The elder smiled like a sly fox.
"Cunning merchant, cunning merchant. You are right."
Ling Xian glared at the elder. He knew the Sword Sealing Pagoda wouldn't give him the stones for free.
"Hehe, I will take that as a compliment." The elder chuckled.
"Just you wait. I will come back in three years. When that time comes, I want the Sealed Sword Stone."
Grinning, Ling Xian exited the pagoda. Then, he saw a sword.
A sword that carried no killer's intent but was extremely sharp.
