Report

In the following days, Ren Baqian kept trying. The most recent time, he bled to death at the edge of the Boundless Sword Formation. The furthest he went was about 200 meters away from the Boundless Sword Formation before his throat was pierced by a sword that suddenly appeared.

However, Ren Baqian knew that he was very close to breaking through. No matter how the sharp metal energy and the sword formation changed, he was still advancing. A distance of 100 meters. If he was lucky, he would be able to break through the next time. If he was unlucky, he might need to try 10 or 20 times.

After another half a month, he was missing four fingers on one hand, and his other hand was broken at the elbow. He was missing an ear, and he was blind in one eye. There was almost no part of his body that was intact. He looked as miserable as he could be.

However, this couldn't stop the fire in his heart.

He had finally walked out of the sword formation.

After more than seven months, he had died more than 200 times. There wasn't a single part of his body that wasn't injured.

However, he had finally walked out.

"Ah!" Ren Baqian roared at the sky and used all his strength to stride forward. However, before he had even walked half the distance, he felt a sharp pain coming from his knee. He lost his balance and fell forward.

At that moment, his injured calf was chopped off by the sharp metal energy that was floating in the air.

"Bang!" Ren Baqian fell heavily on the ground. His heart trembled. The feeling of falling again and again, bleeding to death surfaced in his heart. He secretly clenched his teeth. Could it be that he was going to fail again?

However, even if he failed, he couldn't just wait for death here. Even if he was a little closer to that sword, the chances of success would be higher next time.

Ren Baqian clenched his teeth and crawled forward with his hands and feet. The wounds on his body were covered with sand, and at the same time, a long trail of blood was left on the ground.

The strength in his body was getting weaker and weaker, and his body was getting colder and colder. However, the distance between him and that sword was getting closer and closer.

If others could see this scene in his consciousness, they would be able to feel the tenacity exuding from Ren Baqian's body.

If it was someone else who kept dying over and over again like this, those who were weak would have given up long ago. Even if an ordinary person didn't break down, their personality would change drastically.

However, Ren Baqian persevered time and time again and never relaxed. Normally, he would even laugh and cry.

Even Ren Baqian himself didn't expect his mental fortitude to be this strong.

However, in Dayao's one and a half years, he had honed his skills to such an extent.

Even with his broken elbows and exposed knees, he still crawled forward bit by bit, even though every movement would cause him severe pain.

He had forgotten the passage of time. Even though his body was extremely weak, he did not die. With his last breath, he crawled to the sword.

A sword with a red hilt made of an unknown material.

Unlike the other ownerless swords that were broken, this sword's entire body was bright as snow, as if it was meticulously cleaned by its owner every day.

Moreover, there were no patterns on it. There was only an inclined surface in the middle of the blade. It seemed that the middle of the blade was much thicker than the two sides of the blade.

"Heh, heh, heh … heh heh heh …" Ren Baqian lay on the ground and laughed. The sword was right in front of his fingertips, and his fingertips could almost feel the coldness of the blade.

He could finally touch it!

"Stand up, stand up …" Ren Baqian mumbled softly after he had laughed enough. He used the hand that was missing three fingers to support his body and slowly lifted his upper body. He then realized that he was completely unable to stand up due to his missing left arm and leg.

Ren Baqian gritted his teeth and used his broken arm to support himself on the ground. The pain of his flesh rubbing against the sand and gravel on the ground, as well as the pain from all over his body, almost made him groan in pain.

The simple action of getting up took him a full minute. Blood and sweat continuously spilled on the ground below him.

If he moved a little slower, the pain might be less, but it would take too long.

Ren Baqian didn't know how long his current body could hold on.

He struggled to kneel on the ground and pressed his broken knee to the ground. Ren Baqian was finally able to reach for the hilt of the sword.

He could touch it with his hand, and it felt moist, just like skin.

Whether it was the texture or the texture, it made Ren Baqian feel that the sword hilt was wrapped in blood-stained human skin.

"Ha …" Ren Baqian let out a long breath that reeked of blood.

All that was left was to pull the sword out.

Ren Baqian tried hard to lift his arm, but the sword didn't budge an inch.

He tried three times in a row and used up most of his remaining strength, but the sword still didn't budge an inch.

"I don't have enough strength. I have to stand up," Ren Baqian muttered to himself while gasping for air.

The blood loss and pain made it very difficult for him to breathe.

Ren Baqian used two fingers and his palm to firmly hold the sword hilt. He shifted his center of gravity forward and used his hand to support his body to stand up.

"Chi!" To his surprise, the sword was actually pressed down by the strength of his body. It was as if it had pierced through something below and made a soft sound.

"Hehe, hehehehe!" Ren Baqian laughed inexplicably. He always thought that he had to pull the sword out. Ever since he saw the sword, he had this feeling. In the end, he actually had to press it down …

If he had arrived here in one piece, he didn't know how much effort he would have had to put in to realize this.

He was really lucky.

As Ren Baqian thought about it, he couldn't support his body anymore and fell to the ground. His consciousness became more and more blurry, and he could return to reality at any time.

Rumble!

The sky was shaking, the earth was shaking, and everything in this world was shaking and collapsing.

The sky was full of cracks, and the earth was peeling off piece by piece.

This world seemed to be floating in the air. Now that the layer supporting the world had been pierced, the world began to collapse and peel off …

When this world peeled off to the end, it scattered like fragments, leaving only a boundless void.

All of Ren Baqian's senses were deprived. His sight, hearing, smell, touch, strength, pain, and even the feeling of the passage of time. Except for his slow thinking, everything else was gone.

He floated in the darkness just like that.

In the outside world, Ren Baqian's body was also undergoing changes.

The lungs corresponding to gold began to undergo an inexplicable change the moment he broke through. The impurities in his lungs were removed, and Ren Baqian, who had lost consciousness, spat out mouthfuls of black mucus.

These were the impurities that had been stuck in his lungs for so many years. They were stripped off and expelled from his body during this change.
