Young Master in Flower City

"Not a soul survives under Tu Zhan’s blade!"

"Dubbed the Sword King!"

"With his arrival, Xiao Tianyu and others are in grave danger!"

"..."

Among the crowd, many began to discuss fervently. Under the Soul-breaking Stele, Xiao Tianyu and others had killed Yan Kuan and his group, marking a deadly rivalry with Qianhe Sect. Now, Tu Zhan personally led his men here.

His intentions were crystal clear.

Sure enough, once Tu Zhan landed on the ground, all the people from Qianhe Sect revealed killing intent.

Especially Tu Zhan, whose Sword Intent directly enveloped Xiao Tianyu.

Qianhe Sect had stood at the peak of Yanzhou Ancient Realm for years. Though there were constant clashes, no one had dared to kill. Xiao Tianyu and his group were an exception, and regardless of the circumstances, they must die.

This was the command of Sect Leader Liu Qianhe.

Xiao Tianyu glanced at Tu Zhan, then continued toward the Celestial Mirror Ghost Cave, stepping forward.

This was pure disregard.

Even if the opponent was Tu Zhan, it seemed he still couldn’t earn Xiao Tianyu’s respect.

Seeing this, the crowd was unsurprised.

After all, Xiao Tianyu had previously claimed that if the Luoshen Sect did not send its Divine Separation, he could crush it.

No matter how strong the Qianhe Sect’s foundation was, it was just a minor force in the Yanzhou Ancient Realm, and couldn’t compare to the Luoshen Sect.

If he didn’t care about the Luoshen Sect, why would he care about the Qianhe Sect?

Thump~

Soon, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Xiao Tianyu stepped onto the Ghost Cave Road.

As for Li Fei, Bai Bufan, and Mo Qingluan, they followed in Xiao Tianyu’s footsteps, all stepping onto the Ghost Cave.

Following them, the widely anticipated Jian Wushuang also stepped onto it.

"Hm?" Tu Zhan’s brow furrowed, his gaze full of murderous intent. Xiao Tianyu and his companions ignored the presence of his Qianhe Sect and stepped onto the Ghost Cave?

To Tu Zhan, this was naturally a provocation.

Thus, he lifted his foot and also stepped onto the Ghost Cave Road.

Once, on the Ghost Cave Road, he had taken ten steps and nearly lost his life there. Today, he intended to break past his previous limit.

Seeing this, many others around also began to step forward.

The Ghost Cave Road, though labeled the road of death, wasn’t it also a road of talent trials?

Step by perilous step, yet also step by opportunity.

Tu Zhan had once taken ten steps; can he surpass that this time?

The Ghost Cave Road, thirteen steps in total, with the last three steps impossible to conquer.

They could even claim one’s life.

Many gave Xiao Tianyu and others a sympathetic look.

No matter the outcome of the Ghost Cave Road, Xiao Tianyu and his group were undoubtedly doomed, for they faced Tu Zhan, the famed Sword King.

No one survives under the blade.

Seeing everyone stepping onto the Ghost Cave, many began to try, stepping up as well, including Duan Sanqing, Zhan Xiao, and others, who also stepped onto the Ghost Cave Road.

Tu Zhan had once stepped ten times; to those here, he was already dazzling. Some believe that, except for Jian Wushuang, few could surpass Tu Zhan’s distance.

Xiao Tianyu paid no heed to their thoughts, even if everyone doubted his arrogance and believed he’d perish under Tu Zhan’s blade, so what?

At this moment, he stood on the Ghost Cave Road, feeling the vast Soul Power descending from the Ghost Cave, like heavenly pressure, unstoppable, unintentionally triggering the Soul Power within Xiao Tianyu’s Life Palace, resisting it.

Meanwhile, reflecting internally, the Ghost Cave Thirteen Steps, dubbed the road of death, truly lived up to its name.

A moment later, Xiao Tianyu sensed an unfathomable Dao Power pressing down on him, Daoist Skill invisible, yet awe-inspiring.

Can the Ghost Cave Thirteen Steps block his path forward?

The Power of the Heavenly Dao continuously ravaged his body.

But this time, he did not unleash Dao Intent. Instead, he felt the great Dao Power embedded within the Heavenly Dao, enduring the rolling heavens with his physical body, advancing.

Buzzing~

Within the Ghost Cave, cold winds constantly swept through, bone-chilling cold like blades, tearing his flesh, and wherever the wind passed, it left a bloody mark on him.

It’s evident how terrifying this wind is.

Clearly, the cold wind carried Wind Dao Intent.

After the wind, the vast pressure of the Dao swept down, transforming into substantial force, descending, pressing onto Xiao Tianyu.

Thump~

Xiao Tianyu fought against the current, advancing a second step.

No matter how strong the pressure, it couldn’t stop his path forward.

Thump thump~

Then, under everyone’s watchful eyes, he took two more steps, totaling four steps; the Dao Power rains down on Xiao Tianyu, demolishing everything, obliterating all.

Even Xiao Tianyu felt his determination waver.

Next to Xiao Tianyu was none other than Tu Zhan, who also stepped out four times, coldly watching Xiao Tianyu, murder in his eyes.

Yet on the Ghost Cave Road, no one dared to act recklessly. A moment of distraction and one would fall under the fearsome Dao Power; this is the terror of the Ghost Cave Road.

Then, Tu Zhan sneered, "I hope you survive the Ghost Cave Road to face our Qianhe Sect’s punishment!"

Thump~

After speaking, Tu Zhan stepped into the fifth step, all eyes on him.

He hoped Xiao Tianyu survived the Ghost Cave Road to face Qianhe Sect’s punishment, but it seemed Tu Zhan truly had the arrogance warranted; taking four steps on the Ghost Cave Road was proof enough.

"Just one step away, that’s the difference; pushing forward only leads to death!" At the same time, Zhan Xiao followed Xiao Tianyu’s pace, a hint of sarcasm in his expression. On Broken Soul Mountain before, Xiao Tianyu had boasted that the Soul Stele lacked the qualifications to test his talent, causing Zhan Xiao’’s intense resentment.

Earlier, when Zhang Feng attacked Xiao Tianyu, it was spurred by this man’s urging.

Thump~

With that, Zhan Xiao took a step, surpassing Xiao Tianyu, stepping into the fifth step while Xiao Tianyu lingered at the fourth step. No one knew what he was doing; some even wondered if four steps were his limit.

At this moment, Jian Wushuang, Tu Zhan, Zhan Xiao... and others all stepped into the fifth step.

Xiao Tianyu, Li Fei, Bai Bufan, Mo Qingluan remained at the fourth step; the four figures did not draw much attention, while most eyes were fixed on the peak.

Jian Wushuang, his Sword Intent was overwhelming, resisting endless Soul Power and force of will from the Ghost Cave.

Tu Zhan, who once stopped at the tenth step, now steps four times; everyone knows this isn’t his limit, and he’s far from his breaking point.

Many speculate that Jian Wushuang and Tu Zhan would be evenly matched, even though it was Jian Wushuang’s first time on the Ghost Cave Road, yet still favored, given his longstanding reputation.

"Just one step away, that’s the difference!" At this moment, Bai Bufan’s gaze fell on Zhan Xiao: "I really don’t know where your confidence comes from, and between us, we’re more than just a step apart!"

Thump~

As his voice faded, Bai Bufan took a step, standing next to Zhan Xiao.

Also stepping into the fifth, confronting Zhan Xiao.

Earlier, Zhan Xiao mocked Xiao Tianyu; Bai Bufan’s actions were undoubtedly in defense of Xiao Tianyu.
