A dragon’s roar resounded throughout the bamboo forest. Before Hardy got over his surprise, Philip had completed his sword attack. Caelum Sword transformed into countless swords before merging as one again. It was more than several times stronger than before, and the image of an ancient giant sword could be seen right behind it. “All Swords As One!” Philip raised his sword and met the Wind Slash technique head-on. The mysterious man drinking tea applauded. The two swords collided, and the impact shook the forest with leaves flying all over the place. The two retreated to the edge of the bamboo forest at the same time. Philip’s hand felt slightly numb, while a chink appeared on Hardy’s sword. “Good, very good. You didn’t disappoint me,” Hardy said to Philip fanatically. “I’m afraid things won’t go as you wish this time.”After Philip said that, his hands burst into flames, and two fiery snakes wrapped around Caelum Sword. The burning Caelum Sword roasted the surrounding
Hardy raised his hands to block the fearsome sword attack. Although he caught the sword, his palm was cut more than three inches deep with blood gushing out. “Come here!” Hardy gripped the blade tightly with one hand while grabbing Philip’s neck with the other. Philip would not allow anyone to grasp his vitals so easily. An earth pillar rose to block Hardy's sharp claws while Philip used his sword to chop four fingers off of Hardy’s left hand. However, maybe due to the ancient dragon bloodline, Hardy did not seem to be in pain. He merely laughed and said, “Let’s see how many times you can escape!” The healing ability of the ancient dragon bloodline was very strong. Hardy took his severed fingers and pressed them on his wounds. In just a few seconds, the severed sections stopped bleeding. A dragon’s roar was heard from Hardy’s mouth, and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, signaling the storm to come. Philip did not expect that Hardy’s impure ancient dragon bloo
“I see that you have a certain level of achievement in sword practice. I have a sword technique, and I wonder if you’d be interested in learning it,” the old man asked with a smile. “Please give me your guidance, sir!” Philip bowed and said. “Let’s go to another place,” the old man closed his eyes and said. The scenery around the two of them changed like a revolving light and finally stopped beside a small stone gazebo with a few sturdy bamboos growing on the sides. The old man took Philip into the gazebo and said, “I see that your swordplay is quite open and unrestrained, but there’s a trace of imperceptible finesse in it. Although unrestrained, all your moves are true to your heart.” “My swordplay is called ‘Forthright Swordplay’, created when I traveled the world during my younger days and experienced all walks of life. This sword technique can only be mastered by a broad-minded person. A narrow-minded person who learns this technique will definitely go mad.” After that,
Everyone crowded around and discussed loudly. Several people cut their fingers eagerly. The light glowed and transformed—‘Level 6’. The moment the light appeared, a sword stuck on the edge of the stone moved a little, and the man stepped forward and took it out effortlessly. Everyone became excited and scrambled to test their sword talents. Even Lazaro, the sword practitioner with an upright appearance but who fled right before the battle, pushed everyone aside with the intention to do the test. Suddenly, a wall made of earth rose and separated the crowd from the stone tablet. The strong fluctuations of the earth element made it impossible for the crowd to break through. “Stop pushing and take turns. There are many swords here. I’m sure those with talents will definitely get one.” A short figure emerged from the crowd and shouted. Although no one was willing to line up at the back of the line, they still did while fighting with each other to get a better spot. Phili
The words on the stone tablet kept changing before finally staying on level ten. The sword at the top of the stone flew out and landed right in Philip’s hands. Although the commotion was small, some attentive people still noticed. Someone exclaimed when they saw this, and for a while, everyone who had been paying attention to the injured looked at this young but powerful and handsome man. The women winked at Philip, while the men wished they were Philip. As for Philip, he held the sword and wondered if the stone tablet could not assess level 11. If others knew what he was thinking, they would probably praise his conceit. Philip said to everyone, “Thank you for your concern. I shall humbly accept this reward.” Seeing Philip being so courteous, everyone congratulated Philip for getting the sword. When Philip returned to the Montana Alliance team, he received another wave of blessings and congratulations. Even a few who were cursing him just now congratulated Philip with f
The swords scattered all over the ground were taken away by those who did not get one before. Although those with some talents felt upset upon seeing this, no one said anything. This staircase did not seem to have walls or railings on both sides. A few brave people stepped forward to explore a little and only found a bare staircase. What should they do? They could not see the bottom of the staircase. If they accidentally fell, they might end up as a pile of mincemeat. Philip took out the fluorescent stick they received earlier and tossed it down. After more than ten seconds, they heard it landing. This meant it was roughly more than 150 meters to the bottom. Everyone looked at each other, at a loss of whether to go down or not. Several people who were afraid of heights claimed that they would not go down no matter what. Several wind elemental practitioners wrapped their bodies in the gust of wind and slowly floated down the stairs. Seeing this, everyone did what they could.
The scenery changed again. A round shuttle airship descended from the sky, and the people on the ground hid far away. The airship gradually stopped, and seven people got off. It was as if they were inspecting their own backyard and clearing the ‘ants’ away. People fled in all directions. The fire phoenix royal family and the main troops of other major forces rushed over immediately. A fight was about to break out. The other party’s leader moved a finger, and a strong pressure swept over. Those with low combat power instantly turned into ashes, and even practitioners with six stars and above scowled angrily. “The emperor of the fire phoenix royal family and I were good friends. I waited and watched what happened. He later stepped forward to negotiate with these outsiders. “These people were actually interstellar predators. They had taken a fancy to the planet's core in the deepest part of the continent. “The planet's core is the heart of the entire continent, so it was impos
The surrounding darkness gradually faded. The people who came down just now were sleeping peacefully on the ground, and Philip finally saw what this place actually looked like. It was a natural underground cave with tunnels in all directions leading to this place. Philip could leave here. If he went back again, he might be attacked by the ancient dragon royal family. Philip placed Claire and Carter beside Elder Whitmore who was still sleeping soundly, sent a message through the communicator, and left in a blink of an eye. Philip walked along the largest passage, which did not seem man-made. It was probably dug by a large worm. As he walked, Philip felt the tremendous power in his body. He was only one step away from the pseudo-realm of the other shore, which was nine stars. If he ran into more opportunities, maybe he could advance in one fell swoop. At that time, Philip could even escape if he faced a holy-tier powerhouse. This passage split into several more passages, whic
