Chapter 1360 - 1361: Battle atop the Soul-breaking Stele
Now that Xiao Tianyu and others have killed the people of the Qianhe Sect, who still dares to mock them sarcastically?
"Let’s go!" Xiao Tianyu knew that staying here held no interest, so he chose to leave.
Yet, the others didn’t think this way; they thought that Xiao Tianyu and the others left in fear of Yan Kuan’s revenge, choosing to flee.
It’s understandable though; with Yan Kuan’s power, how could these people compare?
"After killing my Qianhe Sect’s people, you think you can just leave like this?" At this moment, an indifferent voice came from the top of the Soul-breaking Stele. Xiao Tianyu looked up and saw Yan Kuan standing on the eighteenth layer of the Soul-breaking Stele, overlooking him.
Yan Kuan, does he know?
Whoosh~
Many gazes immediately fell on Qin Lan. Seeing Qin Lan’s evasive eyes, everyone knew it was Qin Lan who had communicated secretly to Yan Kuan.
No wonder, given that Qin Lan suffered such humiliation, how could she let it go?
"Stupid woman!" Li Fei, being more aggressive, took a step forward, his aura enveloping Qin Lan. Xiao Tianyu spoke: "Li Fei, let it be!"
Hearing this, Li Fei retracted his aura.
Qin Shuang’s beautiful eyes glared angrily at Qin Lan, expressing great disappointment. Just now, Xiao Tianyu spared Qin Lan as a favor to Qin Shuang, but it never occurred to her that Qin Lan would secretly communicate with Yan Kuan.
In this way, wouldn’t it harm Xiao Tianyu and the others?
If earlier, Li Fei had killed Qin Lan, would Qin Lan have had the chance to communicate with Yan Kuan?
Remorse.
At this moment, Qin Shuang felt very remorseful, even thinking she had no face left to face Xiao Tianyu again.
"Do you want to die?" Xiao Tianyu slowly raised his gaze, staring at Yan Kuan on the eighteenth stair, surprising everyone present. Did he mean Yan Kuan wanted to die?
These people from the Thousand Cities probably still know how terrifying the remarkable figures on the Ancient Realm List are, right?
"Commit suicide, and I’ll leave your corpse intact!" Yan Kuan’s voice was cold, filled with killing intent. Then, his gaze glanced upwards as he took a step forward, landing on the nineteenth layer, breaking the Soul Stele’s record.
"The nineteenth layer?"
Seeing this, many eyes were in shock. The figures on the Ancient Realm List were unquestionably not ordinary people.
Yan Kuan broke the record, ascended to the nineteenth layer, how shocking.
Bang~
As Yan Kuan ascended, Jian Wushuang also stepped forward, landing on the nineteenth layer, equally gaining the spotlight.
Behind them, Duan Sanqing, Zhan Xiao, Zhang Feng, and Luo Haishan were unwilling to fall behind, all taking steps forward. These people were terrifying figures on the list, Divine Level powerhouses, almost invincible below Divine Separation.
"Commit suicide?" At this moment, Xiao Tianyu uttered indifferently.
"Is he really preparing to commit suicide?" The crowd’s eyes turned to Xiao Tianyu with a strange look, probably thinking he chose suicide knowing he couldn’t escape Yan Kuan’s slaughter?
However, the next moment, the crowd was shocked. They saw Xiao Tianyu raise his steps, walking towards the Soul-breaking Stele.
What does this mean, no one understands.
As for Li Fei, Bai Bufan, and Mo Qingluan, the three stood below, watching Xiao Tianyu’s back, saying nothing. But they knew very well why Xiao Tianyu was climbing the stele.
At the same time, they felt a tinge of sorrow for Yan Kuan.
Asking Xiao Tianyu to commit suicide?
Does this Yan Kuan have the qualification?
At this moment, even the sisters Qin Lan and Qin Shuang were slightly surprised, obviously not expecting that because of Yan Kuan’s words, Xiao Tianyu would choose to climb the stele.
For Qin Lan, it’s better this way. She can’t wait for Xiao Tianyu to climb to the nineteenth layer and get killed by Yan Kuan.
"Hm?"
Standing on the nineteenth layer, Yan Kuan looked at Xiao Tianyu with a slight frown. Is he coming to court death?
Then, Yan Kuan spoke: "If you want to come up for a fight, you must qualify to ascend to the nineteenth layer first!"
This was Yan Kuan’s confidence.
Now Yan Kuan broke the record, standing on the nineteenth layer, peerless. If Xiao Tianyu wants to come up and fight him, he must first step onto the nineteenth layer.
However, looking around, how many can reach this step?
"Nineteenth layer?" Xiao Tianyu raised his step, landing on the first layer, his long hair flying, unparalleled in elegance, his blue outfit fluttering in the wind, so carefree.
As for the soul power on the first layer, he didn’t even consider it.
He didn’t even release his soul power to counter it.
"Does this guy really intend to climb to the nineteenth layer and have a final battle with Yan Kuan?" Many eyes revealed doubt, none expected that Xiao Tianyu would really choose to climb the stele.
Climbing to the nineteenth layer, how could it be so simple.
As for Yan Kuan, he didn’t even glance at Xiao Tianyu, continuing to feel the soul power contained in the nineteenth layer, thus tempering his Life Spirit.
Bang~
At this moment, beside him, Jian Wushuang took a step, his foot landing on the twentieth layer, surpassing Yan Kuan, attracting all attention.
This evening, the record has been broken, so who can climb higher in the end, perhaps only this Jian Wushuang?
At this moment, blood was already trickling from the corner of Jian Wushuang’s mouth, evidently nearing his limit as well.
Soul-breaking Stele, twenty-seven layers, one soul-breaking per layer, one tempering per layer, one talent demonstration per layer.
The higher you climb, the harder it gets.
Therefore, over a hundred years, how many outstanding people stopped at the eighteenth stair.
Bang~
However, just when everyone thought Jian Wushuang was going to stop, suddenly, they saw his foot take another step forward, landing on the twenty-first layer, his long hair flying, Sword Qi unmatched.
To step onto the twenty-first layer, what a stance?
They too were top talents on the list, Jian Wushuang could do it, why couldn’t they?
Looking at Jian Wushuang’s back, Duan Sanqing, Luo Haishan... and other figures showed sharp intent in their eyes. They were also famous talents on the Ancient Realm List, how could they be willing to lose to Jian Wushuang.
Bang~
In an instant, under everyone’s gaze, Luo Haishan took a step, landing on the nineteenth layer.
Boom~
A loud sound, Luo Haishan’s body was struck by immense soul power, like shifting mountains and seas, causing him to groan, spitting a mouthful of blood, eventually knocked down to the eighteenth layer by the tremendous soul power.
Seeing this, Duan Sanqing and Zhan Xiao’s expressions weren’t good, both not daring to be reckless.
As for Yan Kuan, still standing on the nineteenth layer, evidently near his limit, didn’t dare to easily take that step, especially seeing Luo Haishan end in failure, even more uncertain.
"Hesitation, destined to fail!" Below, Xiao Tianyu spoke softly.
Thump thump thump~
Before the voice could fall, they saw Xiao Tianyu continually lift his steps as if walking on flat ground, as if the Soul-breaking Stele were ordinary stairs.
Soon, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Xiao Tianyu stood on the eighth layer.
This was the fastest stepping speed.
Talent verification?
Does he, Xiao Tianyu, need to verify talent here?
Thump thump thump~
Under everyone’s gaze, Xiao Tianyu lifted his foot again, taking six more steps, stopping on the fourteenth layer, leaving many stunned, while others climbed the stele cautiously, Xiao Tianyu seemed to stroll as if on level ground.
Who said he, Xiao Tianyu, didn’t qualify to climb the stele?
Xiao Tianyu took only a few breaths’ time to show everyone present that this mere Soul-breaking Stele didn’t qualify to verify his talent, his feet tread the Soul-breaking Stele as if on level ground.
At this moment, some even wondered, perhaps he really could step onto the nineteenth layer and face Yan Kuan directly.
