Book 1: 88
After this wave of attacks from the transparent figures, the original 500 or so people were now only left with 30 or so.
The Dou Gu higher-ups on the viewing platforms frowned; with so many people dying, it would be even more difficult to open the treasure trove.
After giving Xue Changkong and the others some time to rest, the final test began.
This time, there were no sounds of fighting. Instead, a huge wave of battle intent surged out like a tidal wave, causing the surrounding atmosphere to become oppressive. More than thirty transparent figures slowly walked out from the stone door, staring coldly at Xue Changkong and the others.
The expressions of Xue Changkong and the others became quite serious; these 30 or so transparent figures were more dangerous than the countless transparent figures from before. Swish!
Swish! Swish …
The 30 or so transparent figures wielded weapons and quickly charged at Xue Changkong and the others. They hurriedly used their weapons to defend, and the two sides clashed intensely.
This time, Xue Changkong and the others did not have it so easy, and the situation became quite difficult. Even the strongest Xue Changkong was suppressed by the attacks of a transparent figure.
Shing!
One of the transparent figures sent a wave of power into the saber in his hand, causing a saber hum to ring out. A saber image that was tens of meters long was formed, and it slashed out with berserk power, sending a young man flying far away. He crashed to the ground and coughed up a mouthful of blood before fainting.
Everyone stared at the scene in shock; this transparent figure was truly powerful. Boom!
Boom! Boom …
As this transparent figure unleashed all of his power, the other transparent figures also exploded out with all of their power. Powerful auras spread out, causing wild gales to blow out.
Xue Changkong and the others also used all of their power, causing their bodies to burn with aura flames, giving off terrifying power. Bang!
Bang! Bang …
The two sides clashed intensely, causing loud sounds to continuously ring out. Waves of energy continuously blasted out, causing the ground to crack and some rocks to fly out.
The most eye-catching was still Xue Changkong. His body gave off a blood-red aura flame, and he held a blood-red saber as he hacked at another transparent figure in the air. Saber qi swept out, creating an intense scene.
Hong Yan's body gave off a red aura flame as she slashed out with her sword, causing countless sword lights to rain down on the transparent figure. The transparent figure blocked with his saber, blocking the countless sword lights and swinging his hand backwards. A terrifying saber energy slashed towards Hong Yan, causing a deep ravine to appear on the ground.
Hong Yan raised her sword and slashed out. A sharp sword light slashed out and collided with the saber energy, resulting in an intense explosion. Sword light shot out in all directions and the energy scattered in all directions.
Hei Lan 'Er held a long sword and turned into a black ray of light as she quickly rushed towards a transparent figure. The transparent figure did not show any fear and slammed towards Hei Lan' Er with great power.
Bang!
An explosion rang out as the two powerful forces collided, causing light to shoot out in all directions. Rocks were sent flying and a large crater appeared on the ground. The two of them were at the center of the pit, their swords intertwined.
The people around them also looked at the intense battle in front of them nervously and solemnly. None of them turned their heads to talk.
After an hour, the winner was finally decided.
In the end, only six people managed to defeat the invisible figure. The first was Xue Changkong, the second was Hong Yan, the third was Zi Yan, the fourth was Hei Lan 'er, the fifth was an ordinary-looking youth, and the sixth was a cold-looking youth.
Everyone else left, and those who had fainted were carried away. Only Xue Changkong and the others were left; now, only the six of them had the qualifications to break through the barrier.
Xue Changkong looked at the other five people, who were all slightly injured, and he smiled confidently as he said, "I'll give you all a chance; I'll let you go and grab your swords first."
According to the rules, Xue Changkong had killed the most invisible figures, so he was the first person to go up.
Hong Yan and Zi Yan looked at each other and did not say anything.
The youth smiled as he said, "Don't regret it after I open the treasury!"
The youth walked up and grabbed the hilt of the sword, pulling it out from the ground. He then looked at the sword in his hand with some excitement.
After looking at the sword, the youth looked at the stone door and sent a wave of power into the sword in his hand as he vigorously slashed out.
Bang!
Before the sword could hit the stone door, a massive wave of energy flowed out from the stone door, sending the youth flying 100 meters away. He crashed to the ground and coughed up a large mouthful of blood, and the sword was also sent flying.
Everyone was shocked; they had never thought that out of the six people they had chosen, the first one would fail just like that.
The remaining five people's expressions became grave. Even though they had passed the test, these three barriers would definitely be very difficult to break.
No one said anything, and the scene was quite quiet.
The cold-looking youth said, "Let me try!"
The cold-looking youth picked up the sword and solemnly walked in front of the stone door. He held the sword horizontally, and he was not as careless and rash as before. He continuously sent his power into the sword in his hand.
The sword gave off countless rays of sword light, and a shocking sword aura spread out, covering the surroundings.
Boom!
The cold-looking youth slashed out, and a terrifying ray of sword light containing enough power to destroy everything slashed towards the stone door, causing the ground to instantly crack.
At that moment, a massive wave of power surged into the stone door, and it collided with the sword light.
Bang!
A huge explosion rang out, and a shockwave spread out. Rubble flew everywhere, blocking everyone's line of sight. No one knew what had happened, or whether or not the cold-looking youth had broken the stone door's barrier.
When the dust settled, the cold-looking youth was half-squatting on the ground with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, while the stone door was completely fine.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Such a powerful attack hadn't even been able to break the first barrier. Was the barrier's power really that terrifying?
The people in the viewing platforms were also a bit flabbergasted. Although they didn't think the cold-looking youth would be able to break the third barrier, they felt that breaking one shouldn't be a problem. But if he couldn't even break the first barrier, then the power of the stone door's barrier surpassed their imaginations.
The cold-looking youth stabbed the sword in his hand into the ground and stood up, retreating to the side. He knew that with his power, he wouldn't be able to break the barrier, so he didn't continue trying.
Zi Yan said, "I also want to try!"
Zi Yan pulled out the sword and solemnly looked at the stone gate. A powerful energy poured into the sword in her hand, and it began to emit countless strands of silver Sword Qi. Countless strands of Sword Qi revolved around Zi Yan, and a sharp aura that seemed like it could cut through skin spread out.
This wasn't the end. Zi Yan continued to pour more Sword Qi into the sword. The Sword Qi whirlpool grew larger and larger, releasing an even more terrifying sword aura. Sword marks appeared on the ground.
Boom!
Zhao Fu swung the Ziyan Sword, and a massive vortex of sword qi ferociously slashed towards the stone door. The ground was continuously shattered by the sword qi, and countless ear-piercing sounds rang out.
