Chapter 682
Zhang Ruochen landed his eyes on the upper left stone wall, where a character "Tian" (heaven) was displayed .
Next, his own Sword Comprehension overlapped the character's Sword Comprehension . Gradually, the word on the stone wall spun and flew out, transforming into a translucent gatekeeper .
Apparently, the gatekeeper of the first stage of the Third-level Mountain outmatched the gatekeepers of the previous two mountains; because this gatekeeper had been condensed by the sword saint's thought of Tao of the sword .
The gatekeeper flew out and stood in front of him, casting an enormous pressure on Zhang Ruochen .
"Beat me and you can pass this stage . "
The gatekeeper clasped his hands as dazzling light radiated from his two palms .
A meter long sword flew from the light .
"Swoosh!"
Zhang Ruochen also drew out his Valley-water Sword, ran all of Sword Comprehension, and poured it into the blade with his Genuine Qi inside his body .
Immediately, hundreds of flashes of sword Qi formed in the surrounding 90-meter area and then revolved around Zhang Ruochen like a whirlpool .
The gatekeeper had practiced Sword One to the ninth realm, putting him on the same level as Zhang Ruochen .
However, the gatekeeper was formed by the sword saint's thought of Tao of the sword . So the gatekeeper far exceeded Zhang Ruochen in some aspects .
Zhang Ruochen did not dare move but carefully stared at the gatekeeper to cope with any small movements . Zhang Ruochen was ready to deal with any moves .
The burly man folded his hand in front of his chest, exuding an air of calmness . He looked at Zhang Ruochen and said, "I hope you won't let me down . "
"Swoosh!"
The gatekeeper took the lead in the fight . He thrust his long sword forward to attack Zhang Ruochen .
The man and the sword merged into a flux of white light, like flashing shooting star . The flash of light instantly reached Zhang Ruochen .
So fast .
It was the first time Zhang Ruochen had to confront such a powerful master of Tao of the sword . Due to his inexperience, he was unable to adapt quickly, so he didn't have enough time to think about moves that could break the opponent's attacks .
Zhang Ruochen just clutched his sword and shoved forward with his whole Holy Qi .
The sword body of Valley-water Sword collided with the gatekeeper's sword, bent slightly and forcefully pushed Zhang Ruochen back .
Zhang Ruochen was thrown hundreds of meters away to the edge of a cliff, close to falling off of the Ancient Gods Mountain .
Suddenly, he mobilized the power of five elements––the Spiritual Qi of earth nature, water nature, and wood nature––and converged them toward Zhang Ruochen, forming a three-colored cloud of Spiritual Qi .
With his feet stamping on the cloud of Qi, he rushed back and fell on the foot of the Third-level Mountain again .
"What a powerful gatekeeper . It was only one stroke, but it was so strong . " Zhang Ruochen held his breath and became more cautious .
The battle with the gatekeeper made Zhang Ruochen realize that he lacked fighting experience, especially when it came to fighting against the best masters of Tao of the sword .
Qi Feiyu had solely practiced Sword One to the eighth realm and was able to fight against the gatekeeper with over two thousand moves . She failed only by one movement, because her Holy Qi could not sustain her any longer .
He had practiced Sword One to the ninth realm, higher than Qi Feiyu . But Zhang Ruochen was caught off guard by the gatekeeper's attacks; he could barely escape the attacks .
After all, he did lack fighting experience .
It wasn't that Qi Feiyu was not more competent than Zhang Ruochen, but it was because it was not Qi Feiyu's first time battling the gatekeeper . Therefore, she had a better grasp of defensive strategies .
The burly man shook his head in disappointment when he saw the gatekeeper defeating Zhang Ruochen with only one move .
He thought that a Genius of Tao of the sword had really emerged in Suzerain . He could hardly wait to see him . He did not expect that this man's Tao of the sword would collapse only after on attack .
Could it be that Li Yue became so powerful in such a short time only by adventures?
An adventure could boost a monk's strength to amazing heights in a short period, but it was impossible to become the top superior only by adventures .
Even though the gatekeeper's had caught him off guard, Zhang Ruochen was not discouraged .
So far, he has accumulated an understanding of the gatekeeper's abilities . Now he knows how he could cope with him in the next battle .
"Swoosh!"
Zhang Ruochen controlled the Martial Soul and released it .
The aura of Martial Soul was so mighty that it manifested as a huge shadow . With the Martial Soul's regulation, all of the Spiritual Qi in their surroundings converged toward Zhang Ruochen in a steady stream .
Instantly, Zhang Ruochen's Qi, as well as his vital essence, started rising quickly .
Zhang Ruochen had not only refined Half-Saint's Light, but also Qi of Saint Dragon in Dragon Pearl . With that, his Martial Soul became quite powerful .
The burly man was disappointed by Lin Yue and he was ready to leave . But when he caught sight of Lin Yue's Martial Soul, he stopped himself and had a glint in his eyes .
"In the Fish-Dragon Realm, it is rare to find warriors with a Martial Soul is stronger than his . " He thought to himself . Moreover, he could clearly feel Lin Yue's Sword Comprehension had increased significantly .
Or perhaps he hasn't been showing his full strength at all .
