Chapter 74: Regretting the difference of one step (Seeking votes for Sanjiang)

  His strength increased again, and Li Ruo's heart was excited. He could enter a state of unity with his sword, and even if he faced more mountain goblins surrounding him, he wouldn't be afraid. In that state of mind, Li Ruo's sword, even in a group battle, the enemies he faced were always only two or three.

  His body rose from the mountain rocks, speeding along the strange rocks towards the highest peak in the distance. Along the way, thousands of strange and wonderful creatures opened Li Ruo's eyes wide, and various powerful spiritual beasts honed Li Ruo's long sword even more sharply. On Li Ruo's body, there was already a faint aura of killing intent.

  The bloody battle on the way to the main peak made Li Ran's knife and sword merge into one, becoming more and more smooth and natural, born from the heart, the secret pattern of the sword intent was greatly released, and the mountain rocks were lined with corpses.

  Li Ran Dao himself couldn't remember how many tragic battles he had been through, nor could he recall how many illusory spirit beasts he had killed. Before him, the main peak was finally in sight.

  Taking a deep breath, Li Ran's eyes sparkled as he stepped towards the summit, regulating his blood and energy, slowly adjusting his breathing, he wanted to charge into the fourth layer of the Phantom Spirit Cave with an even more powerful force.

  Finally found that ancient cave, rushed in, winding and twisting for dozens of feet, a purple light screen dazzled his eyes, Li Ran's heart was excited, took a step forward, with a "whoosh" sound, successfully broke into the next layer.

  Li Ruo's knife had been stuck in the third layer of the Phantom Spirit Cave for so long that Shan Zhi was getting anxious.

  The longer the time, the stronger Li Ruo's strength and the more shocking his potential.

  "This kid can actually kill how many spiritual beasts on the third floor? It seems like it will exceed one hundred heads? Just entering the mountain gate for a few days and already having such achievements, could he really pose a threat to my position? No way, after going back I must also work hard in cultivation. If someday this kid really pushes me down from the Golden Sword List, what face would Mountain Wisdom have to see people?"

  Yan Zhifang thought of this and heard Tushun excitedly shouting from afar: "Everyone look, the fourth green stone is shining, the fourth green stone is shining."

  "What......"

  Shan Zhi was shocked, and he stood up suddenly. Following the crowd's gaze, they saw that on the stone slab in front of them, a clear image of the entrance to the Huan Ling Cave was reflected. On the fourth green stone at the base of the cave, the lingering light from the shockwave had not yet dissipated, it was exactly the scene where Li Ran's knife broke into the fourth layer of the Huan Ling Cave.

  Shan Zhi was immediately stunned, his face full of incredulity.

  Li Ranno surprisingly broke into the fourth layer of the Phantom Spirit Cave? What does that mean? He even said he wanted to have a ten-move match with him, but with Li Ranno's current performance, there's no need for them to limit their moves; Li Ranno already has the strength to fight him head-on!

  Yamashita looked at Hitogata unconsciously, and saw that he was completely relaxed at this moment, with a look of relief on his face, muttering: "It turns out that this kid is such a strong player, losing to him doesn't feel unjust."

  Yama's eyes were filled with deep sorrow and he let out a bitter laugh, his heart was stuck in his throat.

  His best achievement was inside the fourth floor of the Phantom Cave, where he successfully killed seventy spiritual beasts.

  Li Ruo Knife has also entered this level, how many will he kill? Is Li Ruo Knife really going to charge into the Golden Sword List in one go? Does he really have the strength to push me down?

  Yama Chi's heart was racing with excitement, he couldn't sit still anymore, and stood there in a daze, his eyes fixed intently on the Heart-to-Heart Reflecting Stone.

  His heart was too eager, Shan Zhi felt that time passed so slowly, and he didn't know how long it had been, nor did he know how many spiritual beasts Li Ruo Dao had killed in the fourth layer. Finally, two figures slowly walked out of the Illusory Spirit Cave from within the jade wall.

  One was the Qingyi guardian of the Phantom Cave, and the other was indeed Li Ruo Dao. Li Ruo Dao's face was pale with exhaustion, while the Qingyi had a look of admiration on his face as he patted Li Ruo Dao's shoulder repeatedly. In the jade wall painting, it was unclear what this Qingyi was saying to Li Ruo Dao.

  "What kind of achievement is Li Ran's knife? How many spiritual beasts did he kill in the fourth layer?"

  In front of the jade wall, everyone's heart was on fire, and they saw that the man in green slowly engraved something on a iron plaque, then hung this iron plaque representing Li Ran's knife at the entrance of the Huanling Cave, in the gray-robed disciple area. From top to bottom, it happened to be eighty-first place.

  Shan Zhimuguan's gaze quickly shifted to the iron plaque and saw that it was written: Thirteen Heavens Peak, Grey Robe Li Ran, Achievements, Four Layers Thirteen Spiritual Beasts.

  "He didn't make it into the Golden Sword Rankings!"

  Yamato leaned against the mountain wall behind him, but in his heart he didn't know what kind of feeling it was.

  Li Ran's sword did not rush into the Golden Sword List, unfortunately missing by a single step. This was fortunate, but it was too close, too close to his own record. A new disciple who had just entered the mountain gate achieved such results, and Shan Zhi felt a heavy pressure in his heart. The gray-robed golden sword disciple suddenly turned around and walked out of the cave.

  All glory is self-created, Shan Zhi's stunning cultivation talent, will he be afraid of challenges?

  "From now on, I will work hard and cultivate myself, no one can take my place!"

  Qin Gu's two people stared blankly at the record left by Li Ran Jian, their eyes were straight, and Li Ran Jian was only one step away from Shan Zhi Shixiong. That was a standing power on the peak of Jingyuan Jin's tenth heavy industry. How did he do it?

  Gu Lieyang's face was full of bitter intent, and he bumped into Feng Chuan, his senior brother: "Senior brother, are we still going to make that bet with Ran Jian, that little brat?"

  Qin Feng was stunned and couldn't say a word, after a long while he let out a sigh and shook his head in confusion: "If Jian Dao has such strength, why didn't he dare to accept Shan Zhi's ten moves that day? He could have definitely taken the next one, that would be 100 points for free."

  "Who knows!" Gu Lao Yang shook his head.

  Ma Kong's eyes lit up with a smile, and he was thrilled beyond words. If Li Ran could achieve such results now, wouldn't entering the Golden Sword Ranking be just a matter of time?

  In another cave mansion, Dan Sheng Upper Immortal Xiao Baiyi was beaming with joy, his face full of smiles. He turned to Fang Ziyan and asked: "Ziyan, what do you think this time?"

  Fang Ziyuan let out a sigh and shook his head: "Master, I admit it, I don't quite understand this kid."

  Hahaha...

  Xiao Baiyi laughed extremely happily: "In the future, we must pay more attention to Li Ran's knife..."

  "Yes, Master."

  Xiao Baiyi smiled and shook his head, saying slowly: "No, no need for you, I will personally take care of him. This little guy is quite interesting."

  Fang Ziyuan was stunned for a moment. The master's attitude towards a grey-clothed disciple was so serious, this kind of attitude is not common at all.

  Li Ruo stood on a mountain rock facing the wind, thinking back to the battle just now, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

  The spiritual beasts in the fourth layer of the Phantom Cave are too abnormal, and Li Ran's knife is also unsuccessful even if he has realized the unity of man and sword. In the end, it was a pity that he didn't make it into the Golden Sword List by just one step, which was all within expectations.

  Everything is going according to Li Nian's plan, step by step.

  Li Ranno smiled slightly, and in a few strides he had flashed far away into the mountains. He found the transmission array and transmitted back to the Thirteenth Heaven's Peak. The light dissipated, and Li Ranno stepped out of the mountain cave, his footsteps slow and deliberate. From afar, he saw many people waiting outside the cave, their faces filled with eagerness as they crowded around him.

  Qin Gu's two feet moved the fastest, and with a look of surprise and joy on his face, he pulled Li Ruo's knife: "Ruo Knife, do you know? You just missed it by a hair, you almost made it into the Golden Sword List."

  Li Ran shook his head slightly: "Unfortunately, it's still a little short."

  Having dealt with the crowd, Ma Kong and Tu Shun walked out of the cave with excitement, Tu Shun happily followed Li Ruo's back like a rabbit, this junior brother's strength had thoroughly convinced him.
