Chapter 2355: Attack
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Once Gu Jianshan entered the last hundred steps from the mountain peak, he stopped after the first step.
Within a hundred steps, every step was dangerous and he had to be extra cautious if he was going to reach the top.
Bam bam bam!!
Booming sounds continued occasionally and almost everyone’s bodies shook violently with every step they took.
Sword Mountain was filled with a sharp aura and the shaking of their bodies would cause the empty s.p.a.ce around them to crack.
Su Mo’s body was filled with chaotic aura and Blood Force radiance. The sharp Sword Qi from the Sword Mountain caused his exterior Chaotic Energy to break apart.
If it weren’t for the Blood Force, Su Mo’s Chaotic Energy would not have been able to stand the a.s.sault of Sword Qi.
“What a strong defense!”
Tuoba Liuming, Han Sheng and Yun Mu were all in awe of Su Mo’s Blood Force.
They could all tell that Su Mo was different. His defense was exceptional, the Chaotic Energy and Blood Force were both strong.
“You are Qin Yun?” Han Sheng turned to look at Su Mo as he asked.
He seemed to remember a new disciple from Ling Chang Sword Palace who was called Qin Yun.
However, Han Sheng was from Destructive Sword Palace and he wasn’t too sure.
“Yes!” Su Mo nodded lightly.
“You are a disciple from Ling Chang Sword Palace?” Han Sheng confirmed.
“Yes!” Su Mo replied with a nod. There was no need for him to hide his ident.i.ty.
After all, he had killed a lot of disciples from Ultimate Supreme Being Place and had broken rules. However, Zi Xiao had concealed everything and the news had not spread.
“That is good!” Han Sheng heaved a sigh of relief. Since Qin Yun was a disciple of Ultimate Supreme Being Palace, he could help Han Sheng.
Yet, others’ faces darkened. They had not expected Qin Yun to also be from the Ultimate Supreme Being Palace.
They knew that Ultimate Supreme Being Palace would not allow outsiders to reach the peak. As such, Qin Yun had to be an enemy.
Qian huan Demon Lord eyes’ sparkled. He would be in trouble if he were to kill the disciple from Ultimate Supreme Being Palace.
After all, if he were to kill a top talent from Ultimate Supreme Being Palace, and an exceptionally Favored One at that, he would not be able to sustain the backlash.
Furthermore, there was also the Rank 4 Han Sheng. If he were to attack, he might be killed by Han Sheng.
Yet, Qianhuan Demon Lord ignored that. So what if he was an Ultimate Supreme Being Palace disciple?
The Ultimate Supreme Being Palace wouldn’t take drastic measures for a mere disciple.
Qianhuan Demon Lord was from Paramount Holy Palace of Paramount Region and his faction was not weaker than Ultimate Supreme Being Palace.
Han Sheng stopped at the boundary of the hundred feet from the peak. He wasn’t scared. He was waiting for everyone else.
If everyone failed, he did not need to take action and he would attempt the Sword Mountain at the end.
Tuoba Liuming also stood at a hundred feet from the peak of the mountain, wearing a serious look on his face.
A few moments later, he turned to Han Sheng and Su Mo and scoffed, “Han Sheng and Qin Yun, are you two going to step down or do you need me to push you down?”
He had no tolerance of Han Sheng and Qin Yun playing any tricks. After all, the danger factor within a hundred feet from the mountain was insanely high and if anyone attacked him then, it could be fatal.
“Han Sheng, Qin Yun, get down! Don’t let me teach you a lesson!” Yun Mu also spoke. She was a hundred and thirty feet from the peak.
The reason why they wouldn’t get Han Sheng and Qin Yun to leave before that was that everyone below them could not take the high pressure. Any battle at the top would cause many to die.
At that point, they were all close to the peak and everyone was under immense pressure.
With their strength, a light blow was sufficient to cause Han Sheng and Qin Yun to perish.
Han Sheng’s face instantly darkened. He had not expected the rest to target him.
However, he was not afraid. At the very most, he would take a step back and wait for the rest to fail themselves.
“Qin Yun, let them go ahead!” Han Sheng instructed Su Mo before he slowly stepped backwards.
However, Su Mo appeared to not have listened to Han Sheng. Even after han Sheng gave an instruction, Su Mo took a step forward and emerged only a hundred and fifty feet from the peak.
“Hm?” Tuoba Liuming’s eyebrows immediately rose and a cold glare pa.s.sed his eyes.
“Qin Yun, do you not understand your place?” Yun Mu’s eyes also turned cold. Although she admired the young man in front of her, at this important juncture, anything could pose a risk to her life.
A smirk crossed Qianhuan Demon Lord’s face and he took the chance. “Everyone, this disciple from Ultimate Supreme Being Palace will not allow us to reach the peak. Let’s take him down.”
Qianhuan Demon Lord smirked inwardly. If they attacked Su Mo together and killed him, no one would be able to blame him.
After all, Tuoba Liuming and Yun Mu would follow his lead.
“Qin Yun, get back!”
Han Sheng’s face darkened instantly. Although he was not on familiar terms with Qin Yun, they were both disciples of Ultimate Supreme Being Palace and he didn’t want anything to happen to Qin Yun.
Su Mo stopped himself and stared at the group before his eyes landed on Han Sheng, “it is not an option to retreat. The only way to reach the top is to continue forward with a determined mind!”
“This…!” Han Sheng was shocked by Su Mo’s words. He naturally understood what Su Mo meant. However, neither of them were strong enough to fight against Tuoba Liuming and the others.
“Everyone, what are we waiting. Take them down and we will not have any worries!” Qianhuan Demon Lord shouted, appearing anxious and impatient.
Yun Mu glanced at Qianhuan Demon Lord. She knew his ident.i.ty as she was familiar with him.
Although Qianhuan Demon Lord’s appearance and energy had changed, she could recognize him.
Furthermore, only Qianhuan Demon Lord had the ability to reach such a stage among all who had come to Great Sword Sepulcher.
At the same time, the short young man had a similar cultivation rank to Qianhuan Demon Lord.
Without hesitation, Sword Radiance flashed in Qianhuan Demon Lord’s hands and grew quickly.
Tuoba Liuming and Yun Mu nodded slightly. However, neither of them were as serious as Qianhuan Demon Lord and they did not withdraw their swords. Instead, they gathered energy in their hands and prepared to attack.
After all, none of them had seen Su Mo’s ability like Qianhuan Demon Lord and they did not take Su Mo too seriously.
They were more concerned about Han Sheng as Han Sheng was considered strong against them. Han Sheng was someone they had to be careful with on Sword Mountain.
“Qianhuan Demon Lord!”
Su Mo glanced at Qianhuan Demon Lord as a cold glare crossed his eyes. he recognized the sword of the man and hence he instantly recognized his enemy.
“Attack!”
Qianhuan Demon Lord shouted and without delay, he attacked Su Mo directly.
