Chapter 68: Did I pass?

  A withered and thin man sneered coldly and shouted: "Who's next?"

  Li Ruo's smile widened as he took a step forward: "I'll come, Li Ruo is willing to accept five moves from his senior brother, please spare me, senior brother."

  Li Ran's sword flashed out, and everyone's heart was set ablaze. A strong opponent who could defeat Qin Fengchuan would surely make a few moves under Ren Tu's hands.

  The man tilted his head and looked at Li Ruo Dao, suddenly nodding: "Li Ruo Dao, I know you, aren't you the top disciple of this generation?"

  Li Ran's knife didn't move, but he smiled soundlessly.

  Man Butcher smiled and shook his head, saying: "For you, this condition needs to be changed. You can't just think about getting through with five moves. How about this? As long as you can withstand my twenty moves, I'll let you pass the Dragon Gate."

  "What?"

  Li Ran's face changed color, and the faces of all the people behind him also changed color.

  "Wang Wanyue shouted from the crowd in the distance: 'This is unfair, this is not fair. Why do others get five moves, while Rengjian gets twenty? You're bullying people.'"

  A withered and thin man sneered: "Bully? This pass was originally meant to bully people. Li Rengdao, this kid has some strength, if he doesn't torture him thoroughly, how can he get through?" He turned his head and asked Li Rengdao: "Kid, are you ready?"

  Qin Fengchuan had already mourned silently for Li Ruo in the back.

  Li Ruo Dao nodded with a hint of force, the dry and thin face still carried a smile, but the sword in his hand slowly rose, continuously accumulating momentum, apparently attaching great importance to Li Ruo Dao.

  Gu Lieyang's heart was racing as he watched from behind, the other party's casual move made him unable to defend himself, this time Li Ran's sword was so solemnly unsheathed, it would be a disaster for him.

  Li Ruo's face turned solemn, his hand holding the sword at an angle, and he poured the secret pattern of the sword intent in his mind into the palm of his hand, merging with the sword. In this moment, Li Ruo's body suddenly exuded a mysterious and profound aura.

  A man with a sword in his hand suddenly appeared and struck at Li with a flash of lightning, the light from the sword dazzling everyone's eyes.

  Li Ran's sword hand wrist lightly rotated, the long sword flowed with light, and in the midst of the sound, he actually swung his sword to deflect the person's brutal slash. Li Ran's sword shook straight from his hand to his wrist, and with a swift stroke, it pierced directly into the opponent's chest. The person's face changed instantly, and their long sword quickly exchanged moves, crossing in front of their chest. The two swords clashed fiercely in mid-air, sparks flying everywhere, and in an instant, the two were fighting intensely, their sword shadows moving so fast they made one dizzy.

  Two figures danced around each other like whirlwinds.

  The crowd behind him burst into a deafening sound, with everyone's eyes wide with astonishment: "Did Li Ran block the knife? Did Li Ran block Ren Tu's attack?"

  Even Qingyi Nadan's eyes widened, and he involuntarily took a step forward. He had presided over Li Ranno's last match, and Li Ranno's final victory was completely beyond his expectations. Who would have thought that now he finally knew that Li Ranno hadn't even gone all out on the stage at that time.

  Li Ran's current battle with Ren Jia is extremely intense, his strength has increased several times compared to the arena match back then.

  Li Ran's heart was also extremely pleased, his sword intent in harmony with his heart, driving the battle as if there was a kind of intoxicating thrill coming from his soul, every move and every style transformed at will, the more he fought, the higher his sense of combat soared.

  The sword infused with the Secret Pattern Sword Intent has become incredibly powerful.

  His wrist kept flowing, the long sword whizzing through the air, and the secret pattern in his heart merged with the long sword more and more harmoniously. Li Ran's hand tightened, the long sword lightly swung, and a few times it tore open Ren Tu's sword net. With a swoosh, he pointed forward, one sword reached his chest, and Ren Tu's face changed again, involuntarily retreating several steps.

  The crowd behind him erupted in another thunderous applause.

  "Did Li Ruo's knife actually force everyone back? Did Li Ruo's knife really gain the upper hand?"

  Qin Fengchuan and Gu Lieyang were both stunned.

  Li Ran's knife sense gained insight into the secret pattern within the small sword, and the secret pattern passed through his yuan Shen, making it stronger in a shocking way. At the same time, the mark of that secret pattern was deeply engraved on his heart, and the sword intent became an instinct.

  Li Ran's swordsmanship unfolded with a mysterious and intricate pattern, every wave of energy in the universe resonating within his chest.

  The withered and thin man's face became increasingly frenzied, this battle also made him extremely pleased, the long sword suddenly connected into a style, three styles of swordsmanship like the Yangtze River rushing down, the power on the sword surged several times.

  At this moment, Li Ran's sword also suddenly turned into a dense cloud, his wrist lightly swaying, the Flowing Cloud Sword Classic third form - Thousandfold Flowing Clouds unfolded countless streams of light, each stream carrying infinite sword intent, pressing down on the person with a crushing force.

  With the thousand-layered spiritual cloud imbued with the secret sword intent, its power was several times stronger than what Qin Feng felt on the arena. Li Ran's knife relied on the secret sword intent, and at the fourth level of strength, he could have killed a strong seventh-level cultivator from the Qin family in the Misty Valley. At this moment, even Ren Tu's face was sweating, his palm's grip on the sword becoming increasingly disordered, the rhythm of the battle increasingly out of control.

  The people were shocked in their hearts, who would have thought that a young man who had just entered the mountain gate would have such strong combat power, and even frightened this battle-crazy person.

  "Is this the legendary genius?"

  In the crowd that woke up afterwards, someone excitedly took the lead and shouted loudly: "Twenty moves have passed, twenty moves are over."

  In an instant, the crowd cheered and shouted: "Thirty moves."

  "Forty moves."

  The thin, small man was covered in cold sweat, his hands getting softer and softer. Every sword of Li Ran seemed to have an incredible magical power, with a strange and tricky force that made him unable to defend himself.

  Listening to the teasing shouts by his ear, Ren Tu suddenly leaped into the air with a single sword strike, jumping extremely far in one step. With a loud clang, he threw his long sword to the ground and furiously shouted: "No more fighting, no more fighting!"

  The crowd fell silent at the same time.

  Li Ran's dagger slightly gasped for breath, and he asked, "Senior brother, did I pass?"

  A withered and thin man said angrily: "Passed, passed, damn it, I don't care about this place anymore. You all can pass if you want to. Who has ever heard of a generation of disciples defeating all the gray-clothed testers?"

  With a deep sense of indignation, he flung his sleeve and left.

  Originally intended to crush the pride of new apprentices, but instead crushed the pride of old apprentices, and people can't bear to guard this Dragon Gate anymore.

  Everyone let out a cheer and all the people shouted excitedly. Gu Lieyang couldn't help but smile wryly and shake his head: "If I had known everyone could pass, why would I have used so much effort to fight desperately?"

  Li Ran Dao gazed at Ren Tu's back, smiling and nodding silently.

  This battle is not just about passing through this stormy Grand Canyon, but more about testing where his strongest combat power lies.

  It seems that at the current level of his skills, his sword intent is enough to deal with a strong opponent who has nearly ten times the power of Jingyuan, and if he becomes any stronger, it will be beyond his control.

  "It seems that recovering the power of the previous life's high-ranking divine movement is still a long way off."

  Li Rendao nodded secretly, and the five gray-robed disciples who stayed behind looked at Li Rendao as if they were looking at a monster. With a bitter smile, he bowed to the twenty disciples: "Since Master Ren has spoken, this round is considered passed for all of you. Alright, please proceed to the Dragon Gate."

  The crowd erupted in cheers, watching as the twenty disciples filed into the narrow valley, followed by a burst of enthusiastic applause.

  Li Ranno's previous battle was indeed stunning, and Qingyi Nada let out a long sigh behind him. When Li Ranno chose the Gate Domain, he didn't join the Lingyao Valley, and Nada knew that he had just missed a genius by a hair's breadth.
