Clang! Clang!
Not long after the crowd dispersed, they immediately reacted.
One of the servants released his aura. Instantly, with him as the center, all the treasured swords on the ground within ten meters of him let out a sword hum in unison.
Following this, over 100 treasured swords rose from the ground, giving off sharp and boundless sword qi. All of the swords were pointed at the servant, and the air was filled with killing intent.
Everyone's gazes, whether they were inside or outside the Sword Tomb, looked over, and they all subconsciously held their breaths.
After choosing a treasured sword in the Sword Tomb and releasing its aura, it would alert all of the treasured swords in the surroundings, causing them to surround and attack.
This was the most dangerous moment.
If one could not withstand it, they would be pierced by tens of thousands of swords and be torn to shreds. Very few people could escape with their lives.
Even if one could withstand it, it would be another matter if they could choose a treasured sword of their own. After all, it would be the treasured sword that chose them, not the other way around!
If the treasured sword chose you, it would naturally follow you, and everyone would be happy. However, if it did not choose you, you could only release your aura again, causing all of the treasured swords to become hostile towards you.
After entering the Sword Tomb, there were many dangers, and if one did not have much strength, they could not recklessly enter.
Clang! Clang!
Another sword howl resounded in the surroundings. Suddenly, before everyone could react, the 100 swords around this servant had struck down towards him in unison.
However, for this servant to be able to make it to this point, he was indeed someone. His cultivation had reached the Heavy Yin stage, and he had a few treasures protecting him. His strength was definitely not ordinary.
As such, facing the 100 treasured swords that were rushing towards him from all directions, his gaze was calm as he gave a low roar. He took out all of his treasures and activated his cultivation technique to try and defend.
However!
"Chi!" "Chi!" "Chi!"
The treasures on his body and his own cultivation method were only able to block the attacks of thirty to forty swords, causing them to scatter and retreat. The remaining sixty to seventy swords directly sank deep into his body under the horrified gazes of everyone around.
The next second!
The sixty to seventy swords directly pierced through the servant's body. Amidst the deathly silence, the servant's body was also chopped into hundreds of pieces. Blood spurted out and flesh and bone splattered in all directions. The servant didn't even have time to make a sound before he died on the spot. Moreover, his incomplete body parts lay quietly in the Sword Tomb, waiting to quietly rot and finally merge with the Sword Tomb.
Many people inside and outside the Sword Tomb could not help but feel a chill in their hearts when they saw this.
The terror of the Sword Tomb was simply a different feeling every time he saw it.
"Isn't this the previous Holy Son of the Blue Pillar Sect?" A disciple from Heaven's Sky Academy's Small Era Hall suddenly sighed before shaking his head and saying, "Three years ago, he tried to enter our Heaven's Sky Academy but failed. In the end, he could only enter our Heaven's Sky Academy as a servant!"
"In the three years since he entered our Heaven's Sky Academy, his progress has been very fast. I heard that he has almost accumulated enough Contribution Points to change his status from a servant to an official disciple!"
"One of our Heaven's Sky Academy's Hall Masters also thought highly of him and intended to take him as a disciple. That way, once he changes his status from a servant to an official disciple, he can enter the Grand Era Hall to cultivate!"
"In the end, who would have thought that he would fall in the Sword Tomb today. It's truly regrettable!"
Hearing the words of the Small Era Hall disciple, the other Heaven's Sky Academy disciples and servants were silent as they sighed over the death of the previous Holy Son of the Blue Bamboo Sect.
With the lesson of the previous Holy Son of the Blue Bamboo Sect, the remaining people became even more cautious. Even Lin Shan, Little Bastard, and the others were no exception. All of them had solemn expressions on their faces.
This was because the Sword Tomb was different from the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Portrait they had experienced in Sky City. In the Sword Tomb, talent was not important. What mattered was strength.
No matter how high one's talent was, if one's strength was insufficient, they would really die in the Sword Tomb.
Even though they wouldn't die with Xiao Fan around, they didn't want to become a burden and need Xiao Fan to save them. Thus, they all treated it seriously and didn't dare to be careless.
Clang! Clang!
Soon, another person emitted his aura and wanted to choose a sword.
However, the result was no different from the previous Holy Son of the Blue Bamboo Sect. Dozens of swords pierced through his body and tore him into hundreds of pieces of flesh that splattered in all directions. He died on the spot.
Following that, another two or three people couldn't help but give it a try. The results were also similar. All of them failed and almost all of them died on the spot.
Only one person failed. However, he was able to resist the majority of the sword attacks and only three swords pierced through his body. Moreover, the injuries weren't fatal, such as his head, heart, and spine.
He knelt there and coughed up blood incessantly, but in the end, he managed to preserve his life. After that, he stood up with great difficulty and dragged his heavily injured body out of the Sword Tomb step by step, announcing his failure to challenge the Sword Tomb.
The successive failures caused the atmosphere in the Sword Tomb to become even heavier and more suffocating. Even Zhao Wuqing, Chiu Wan 'er, and the other two or three Heavenly Era Hall disciples' expressions changed. They no longer conversed with each other and stepped forward, becoming even more cautious and dignified.
After a short while!
Finally!
A Grand Era Hall disciple had succeeded. He had withstood the attacks of all the swords around him and was safe and sound. Now, he had the qualifications to let the swords around him choose whether to follow him or not.
Everyone's gazes were focused on him, and many people revealed looks of anticipation.
However, something disappointing happened.
Although he had withstood the attacks of the swords around him, none of the swords had acknowledged him and were unwilling to follow him. Therefore, the smile on the Grand Era Hall disciple's face froze. He clenched his fists but quickly relaxed them. In the end, he could only helplessly walk out of the Sword Tomb.
Although he could still try again in the Sword Tomb, he had already used up a large portion of his strength. If he tried again, he was afraid that he would be pierced through the heart by hundreds of swords and be torn apart on the spot.
Therefore, for the sake of his life, he could only leave.
At this moment, there were only thirteen or fourteen people left.
Everyone in the Sword Tomb sighed. It seemed that there wouldn't be many people who would be able to take out a sword from the Sword Tomb this time.
However, it was also at this moment that someone finally succeeded.
A female disciple from the Sacred Era Hall with long legs and a tall stature. She was quite fond of the Final Magic Sword during the banquet last night and couldn't help but want to tease the Final Magic Sword. Not only had she successfully withstood the attacks of the swords around her, but she had also successfully obtained the approval of one of the swords.
Covered in blood, she stood in the middle of the field. Ignoring the terrifying wound on her shoulder and the snow-white scenery outside, she looked at the snow-white longsword in her hand with a brilliant smile on her face.
A Five Rune Sword!
She had successfully obtained a Five Rune Sword!
Although all the swords in the Sword Tomb had different shapes, they all had one thing in common. On the hilt, there were mysterious runes twining around it.
The more mysterious runes there were, the higher the quality of the sword and the greater its power.
All the swords in the Sword Tomb were roughly divided into one to ten runes, with one rune being the lowest and ten runes being the highest.
Generally speaking, swords with five runes and above, including the Five Rune Sword, could be regarded as extraordinary treasures in the outside world. Even Yang Stage experts would be moved by them.
This Sacred Era Hall female disciple had obtained a Five Rune Sword. If she didn't use it, there would be Yang Stage experts from the Sky Firmament Institution who would take the initiative to find her and exchange it for great benefits.
"Sister, this sword is not bad. Congratulations!" The Little Bastard came over. It was unknown whether his eyes were looking at the sword or the Sacred Era Hall female disciple as he enthusiastically spoke.
"Scram, you dirty pervert!" Hearing the Little Bastard's congratulatory voice, the Sacred Era Hall female disciple was originally very happy. However, when she noticed the Little Bastard's gaze, her long shapely eyebrows furrowed. She immediately took out a piece of clothing from who knows where and wrapped herself tightly before scolding the Little Bastard.
"Shh!" The Little Bastard suddenly hissed with a look of disdain before turning around and walking away.
"Simply a bastard!" The Sacred Era Hall female disciple was so angry that she clenched her teeth. Her face darkened as she looked at the Little Bastard's back and hatefully spoke.
She had accidentally been seen, so was it wrong for her to quickly cover herself?
What right does a pervert like you have to look down on this old lady?
The selection of swords in the Sword Tomb continued. After the Sacred Era Hall female disciple, another Sacred Era Hall male disciple also successfully obtained the approval of a sword.
However, it was a pity that he only obtained the acknowledgement of a three-striped treasured sword.
Regarding this, the Sacred Era Hall male disciple hesitated again and again before reluctantly accepting the sword and walking out of the Sword Tomb.
At this point, there were only five people left in the Sword Tomb: Lin Shan, Mu Junsu, Snow Red, Ning Shuang, and the Little Bastard, as well as Zhao Wuqing, Chiu Wan 'er, and the three disciples from the Sky Era Hall.
The others were no longer in the Sword Tomb.
However, compared to their performance in the Seven Lives and Seven Deaths Map, apart from the Little Bastard, Lin Shan's group of four were not good enough. They could even be described as very bad.
Zhao Wuqing, Chiu Wan 'er, and the three disciples from the Sky Era Hall had already reached the middle of the Sword Tomb. Lin Shan's group of four was a hundred steps behind them and could no longer move forward.
Moreover, Ning Shuang's situation was the most serious. Not only was she the last, but her body was also on the verge of collapse. In the next second, her body was like a kite with a broken string as she loudly retreated and directly fell outside the Sword Tomb.
Kōjirō rushed forward and quickly helped Ning Shuang up.
