C78 One with the sword

"Buzz!"

When their feet landed on the first grade mountain road, an invisible power surged and a gale appeared around the mountain. However, this bit of obstruction was naturally not difficult for them. The two of them successfully stood on the first grade mountain road.

They turned to look, and realized that Lin Hao had not made any movements, and could not help but be curious, but did not say much. Turning back, gritting their teeth, they used all their might to start sprinting up the mountain road.

But Lin Hao, continued to stand in front of the mountain path without moving an inch.

Everyone was filled with suspicions, they could not figure out what Lin Hao was trying to do!

Even if his cultivation was not as high as Lian Yunhaichuan's and Gu Tianqi's, he would definitely not be able to step onto the first level of the mountain road!

There was something fishy about it.

Even the elder in charge of this place was confused.

Looking at Lin Hao who was still standing at the foot of the mountain, Lian Yunhaichuan finally laughed complacently. "Junior Brother Gu, although I don't know what this Lin Hao is trying to do, as long as we take advantage of this time to throw him far, even if he wants to chase us now, it will only be a dream!"

"Mn, Senior Brother Lianyun, then let's leave him behind as soon as possible." Gu Tianqi said.

Finished speaking, the two of them took a deep breath and began to run quickly on the mountain path.

"Hahaha, Ning Feng, it seems like you are going to be disappointed. Your North Cold Branch, this Lin Hao, no matter how good your previous performance is, your state of mind in chasing after the martial way is just too terrible. Zhou Wenze laughed loudly at this time.

Many people in the surrounding area also began to discuss in whispers.

Indeed, the first stage was for fighting strength, the second was for courage, and the third was more comprehensive, but it also focused on testing a cultivator's mental state.

"What a pity, and I even thought North Cold Branch was going to produce an extraordinary genius, but his heart is too weak in pursuing the martial way. For a person like him, no matter how outstanding his talent is, it would only be a flash in a pan."

"That's right. On the road of martial arts, the further one goes, the more pressured and dangerous it is. Lin Hao can't even withstand the pressure brought about by the aura of the third stage.

"His heart of martial arts is too poor. This sort of person is simply unworthy of being a martial artist."

Ning Feng, who was in North Cold Branch, listened to the discussions around him, and his gaze was tightly locked onto Lin Hao. Although he did not interact much with Lin Hao, he was certain that Lin Hao was not the type of person who was unable to face the pressure.

On the contrary, he felt that Lin Hao's heart of martial arts was firmer than any of them!

As a result, he turned around to look at the group of North Cold Branch disciples behind him who had lost all confidence in Lin Hao, and said: "If Junior-Apprentice Brother Lin does this, he must have his reasons. Calm down, everyone, later Junior-Apprentice Brother Lin will definitely bring us a pleasant surprise!"

"Tsk tsk, Ning Feng, you still have fantasies about him, it's really laughable. If I were you, I wouldn't even have the face to stay here anymore." Zhou Wenze seized the opportunity to mock Ning Feng.

"Zhou Wenze, don't go overboard!" Ning Feng clenched his fists and shouted.

"Too much? I am only saying the truth, if you are not convinced and want to attack, do not hesitate to do it, I, Zhou Wenze will definitely accompany you to the end! Zhou Wenze said in an extremely arrogant manner.

clenched his teeth, forcefully suppressing the anger in his heart. In these past few years, conflicts often arose between Southern Cold and themselves, and every time they fought, they would always end up suffering a loss in terms of North Cold Branch. If they really fought now, Ning Feng's side would definitely suffer a great loss, after all, with Zhou Wenze's strength laid out there, it wouldn't matter if he suffered a loss alone, but it wouldn't be wise to drag all of his junior brothers who came with him to cheer for Lin Hao.

Hence, Ning Feng turned around and ignored Zhou Wenze.

Seeing Ning Feng like that, Zhou Wenze's eyes showed disdain, and did not say anymore.

At this moment, at the foot of the mountain.

Lin Hao did not move.

Looking at the so called Heaven Stairway, he thought back to the scene ten thousand years ago.

At that time, he was so high-spirited that he shattered the sky with a single sword strike, revealed the supreme Sword God way, led the divine way down, stepped onto the divine way, and headed towards the Nine Heavens Divine Realm, but in the end, he was betrayed. The Divine Realm Seven Divine Kings, ignoring the laws of heaven and earth, joined hands, and forcibly destroyed all of his hopes.

The ladder to the heavens was far from the Divine Path that descended all those years ago.

Using the True Eye of Martial Arts, he was also able to see through the secrets within the mountain path.

The presence in this place couldn't affect him at all. If he wanted to, he could easily break all the obstacles in this mountain path and walk straight up.

However …

Because of that memory from ten thousand years ago, he did not want to do this.

In this life, he was definitely going to ascend the Divine Realm again, but he would never ascend the divine way again.

He wanted to use his Unparalleled Sword Truth to forcefully cut open a great path to himself!

He no longer had any respect or yearning for the so-called heavens.

There was only the monstrous will to fight!

The Heaven Stairway, why climb it?

Heavens? He had his own path, but he could still go on ahead!

His path, came from the sword in his hand!

"Buzz!"

A soaring sword intent suddenly burst out from Lin Hao's body, the powerful sword intent, immediately stirred the atmosphere.

At the same time, the vital energy and blood in his body started to boil, and fuse with the Sword Element. The Battle Qi he obtained from refining that drop of blood also integrated into his own Sword Qi.

Everyone felt a kind of Qi from Lin Hao's body that was hard to describe. This Qi, even Zhou Wenze felt fear, and his body trembled.

The Elder at the side, at this moment, had his eyes flash with a light, staring straight at Lin Hao, his mouth slightly opened, yet he could not say a single word.

At this moment, the Hall Master s of the four Freezing Sky Sect s and the s of the main peak all walked out of the great hall, and looked in the direction of the Heaven Stairway.

On the mountain road, Lian Yunhaichuan and Gu Tianqi who were already halfway there, were already exhausted from being obstructed by some. Suddenly, they realised that the force they were suppressing just now had disappeared in a blink of an eye.

At this time, Lin Hao raised his head and glanced at the mountain peak ahead.

Lian Yunhaichuan and Gu Tianqi took the chance and walked a few steps forward, meeting an even more terrifying pressure.

This pressure was like an omnipresent sword, causing their minds to tremble, their scalps to go numb, and their entire body to tremble. They didn't even have the courage to take another step forward.

And it was at this moment, that Lin Hao finally moved!

The Heavenly Marks Sword was unsheathed and held in his hand, and thrusted towards the mountain peak with his sword. The gigantic Sword Qi wrapped around the Heavenly Marks Sword and flew out, and with a leap, Lin Hao stood on it, and fused with the sword, becoming one with the sword. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared, standing at the highest point of the mountain!
