Two disciples stood on the stone pillars, separated by more than a hundred feet.
The younger one came from Bihu Peak and was in the upper state of Inherited Will.
The middle-aged disciple came from Tianguang Peak and was the second disciple of Elder Mo. He had already broken through the state of Undefeated.
The gap between states was hard to make up. Three years ago, Jing Jiu defeated Gu Qing in the Stream of Sword Washing, which was a rare occurrence.
The flying sword of a disciple in the State of Inherited Will could move freely within a hundred feet, but the killing range of a disciple in the State of Undefeated was several times that.
Logically speaking, the disciple of Bihu Peak had no chance of winning, but how could he admit defeat?
A bright sword light crossed the distance of more than a hundred feet and arrived in front of him.
Unable to fight back, the disciple of Bihu Peak could only ride his sword to avoid the danger. His Sword Source spun rapidly and flew forward as fast as he could.
He had to shorten the distance between him and his opponent in order to exert the power of his flying sword.
The bright sword light turned back and chopped down again.
The disciple of Bihu Peak rode his sword into the clouds below the stone forest and once again narrowly avoided this attack.
The bright sword light brushed past the stone pillars, bringing up stone chips like a light rain.
Seeing this scene, there was a burst of exclamations below the stone forest.
People appreciated the courage of the disciple of Bihu Peak, but they were also worried about his safety.
It was very dangerous to ride a sword through the clouds and mist, and one could crash into a stone pillar at any time.
"Here it comes!" Someone suddenly shouted.
Somewhere in the clouds and mist suddenly bulged.
The disciple of Bihu Peak rode his sword and was only about a hundred feet away from his senior brother of Tianguang Peak. He was surrounded by clouds and mist, and there was a faint flash of lightning.
He was already prepared in the clouds, condensing all the sword energy in his body for this final strike!
Seeing this scene, the disciple of Tianguang Peak showed a trace of appreciation in his eyes. He was not nervous at all. He put his two fingers together and used the sword formula again.
The bright sword light suddenly appeared above the clouds and mist, as if it had been waiting there.
The disciple of Bihu Peak had no time to react. He forcibly turned his sword and crashed into a stone pillar.
A muffled sound rang out. The stone pillar stood there unmoving. That disciple's face was covered in blood, unconscious as he fell towards the ground.
Before his master could come to his rescue, a disciple of Tianguang Peak stepped on his sword and caught him before he fell into the clouds.
There was a burst of cheers from the peak.
…
…
The first round of the Sword Trial had already entered the middle stage. In the Sword Trial that had ended, the disciples of Tianguang Peak and Bihu Peak had the best performances. Similar to the previous years, Yunxing Peak had a good record as well, but Xilai Peak and Shiyue Peak weren't good at sword fights, so the disciples of the two peaks had only won three matches in total. Surprisingly, Qingrong Peak had a terrible performance this year; all seven female disciples they sent had lost.
The masters of Shiyue Peak were there to treat those disciples who had lost. Though those disciples were a bit disappointed, they didn't show much negative emotion on their faces. The disciples who won didn't show any arrogance. After all, it was a competition between disciples of the same sect. Besides, except for Yao Songshan, the other disciples of Liangwang Peak hadn't shown up yet.
Next, a tall figure walked into the field, causing some discussions.
This tall disciple was Jian Rushan, ranked forty-sixth on Liangwang Peak. He was more famous because he was Jian Ruoyun's younger brother.
Jian Ruoyun, ranked fourth on Liangwang Peak, was undoubtedly a swordsman among the disciples of the third generation. He had a high level of sword work and was respected by his peers.
Two years ago, when Liu Shisui was sent back to Aoyama in a coma by the Muddy River, Jian Ruoyun, the leader of the team, was punished by Shangde Peak and imprisoned in the stone room for half a year for his incompetence. Many people thought it was unreasonable at the time. After Liu Shisui woke up, he was suspected of having eaten the Dace Devil Pill. The disciples felt that Jian Ruoyun had been wronged, and felt indignant for him.
Jian Rushan's Cultivation state was not as good as his elder brother's, but he had a place on Liangwang Peak, so he couldn't be underestimated.
Many disciples were wondering who had such bad luck to draw the second disciple of Liangwang Peak.
Jian Rushan suddenly said, "I want to name a name."
Hearing this, the disciples were a bit surprised.
The Sword Trial in Aoyama was carried out according to the order of drawing lots, but there was an exception, which was the challenge by name.
Since it was a challenge by name, no one dared to choose a peer who was weaker than him, so he would only choose an opponent whose Cultivation state was generally higher than him.
Who was Jian Rushan going to challenge by name?
People noticed that he had fixed his eyes on the nine stone platforms on the cliffs, wondering if he was going to challenge a Senior Brother of the same peak.
Those sitting on the stone platforms were all masters of the peaks, and only the disciples of Liangwang Peak could be chosen.
Looking at the farthest stone platform, Jian Rushan said expressionlessly, "I want to name … Senior Uncle Jing Jiu."
The crowd was in an uproar.
Jian Rushan paused for a long time between the words "Jing Jiu" and "Senior Uncle" on purpose, and everyone could sense his hostility.
Many disciples remembered the rumor that Jing Jiu and Liu Shisui used to be a master and a servant. Did Jian Rushan want to avenge his elder brother?
Countless eyes fell on Jing Jiu.
Jing Jiu didn't respond, still looking at the mountain path in the distance.
Jian Rushan sneered and said, "What? Senior Uncle Jing doesn't dare to accept the challenge? "
Chi Yan walked out and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to offend your superior?"
As an elder of Shangde Peak, he had the right to veto the challenge by name according to the sect rules.
But the disciples were not convinced.
No one knew the real Cultivation state of Jing Jiu, but he was recognized as a genius in swordsmanship, and more importantly, he was … the Senior Uncle.
Therefore, there was no problem for Jian Rushan to challenge him.
Jing Jiu still didn't pay attention to him, looking at the mountain path in the distance.
Being ignored, Jian Rushan was very angry, thinking that Ye Qingyu was trying to get away with it. Feeling even more shameless, he said, "You …"
He was interrupted before he finished his words.
A weird sound came from the mountain path in the distance.
The sound was very harsh, like two swords colliding and rubbing against each other.
The disciples looked in the direction of the sound.
A figure appeared on the mountain path.
That person was very thin, and his sword robe was shabby, fluttering in the wind.
As he walked, the disciples saw his face clearly.
That person's face was pale, his eyes were deep, and his hair was like weeds.
The strange thing was that there were no shackles on his feet, but when he walked, there would be a sound of metal rubbing between the soles of his shoes and the bluestone.
There was a burst of exclamations around the Stone Forest.
"Liu Shisui!"
"Why is he here?"
It had been two years.
He had been in the stone room behind the cliff of Tianguang Peak and had never come out.
The natural Taoist quality was gradually forgotten.
But today, he suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
He was like a ghost.
Zhao Layue's expression turned slightly serious.
The expressions of the elders changed slightly.
They heard one thing from that sound.
There was a sword sound when he walked.
That was the sign of the Body of Sword Will!
Zhao Layue had practiced hard in Sword Peak for many years before she succeeded in practicing the Body of Sword Will.
How did Liu Shisui do it when he was imprisoned in the stone room on Tianguang Peak?
Zhao Layue looked at Jing Jiu, wanting to know his reaction and to get an answer.
But Jing Jiu was concerned about something else. He murmured, "How can that little black face be so pale? How many days has it been since he went out in the sun?"
