Who said I practiced the exercises incorrectly?

After hearing what Song Canghai said, the people around him were a little surprised for a moment.

But many of the people present are at the peak of their strength and are extremely powerful.

Soon, they keenly realized where the problem lay.

It's a shock.

The ground shook beneath my feet.

And the amplitude of this vibration is rapidly increasing.

The sand and gravel kept rolling, the insects fled frantically, and some cracks in the ground were gradually expanding.

At this point, even the violent people around realized that something was wrong.

Song Canghai and others jumped onto the top of the mountain.

Then, I saw billowing smoke and dust sweeping in from afar like an overwhelming mass of dust. In the smoke and dust, I could vaguely see the thick legs of animals, scales that reflected cold light, and claws as sharp as blades.

"Beast... beast tide?!"

Xu Huasheng's face was full of disbelief.

"It is indeed a beast tide."

Shi Xuanqi clenched his right hand violently, his expression also becoming extremely solemn.

"But it shouldn't be."

Lin Shilun looked at the back of his head, which was reflecting the light, and said with a puzzled look on his face:

"A beast tide hit Zixia Pass just over a month ago. Normally, it would take at least five months for the next beast tide of this magnitude to appear. There is clearly something wrong with this timing."

"not only that."

Song Canghai's solemn voice came out from under the mask:

"Normally, even if a beast tide appeared, they would only attack the Zixia Pass area. The direction of Jianyu is obviously not on the beast tide's attack route, but they abandoned their original route and attacked this side directly... Something must be wrong when something is abnormal."

"Retreat first!"

Shi Xuanqi shouted loudly to the people around him.

"Where to retreat?"

Xu Huasheng asked angrily:

"They have surrounded us on almost three sides. Behind us is the sword area. Where can we retreat to?!"

"Then retreat to the Sword Territory!"

Song Canghai said in a sonorous tone:
"Although the Sword Domain is dangerous, it is the same for those disaster beasts. Warriors have to take risks when they go in, and disaster beasts also have to take risks when they go in!"

Lin Shilun raised his voice and shouted at the surrounding warriors:

"Everyone, retreat into the sword domain. If you don't want to die, retreat quickly."

At this time, the warriors gathered around also saw clearly the horrific situation when the beast tide attacked. Such a scene could only be blocked by Zixia Pass, which was equipped with heavy weapons and was easy to defend but difficult to attack. The two or three hundred warriors here were simply not enough to deal with it.

Even those powerful ones who have reached the highest level of strength will most likely be crushed to death by the crazy disaster beasts.

Everyone immediately retreated into the sword area.

Fortunately, the violent people who can come here at least have the strength of senior violent people. They have more or less ventured into the Sword Domain in the past. Now they can go deep into it and barely go a certain distance. They will not be abandoned in the Sword Domain due to lack of strength.

Seeing those people scattered in Jianqi Pass, Song Canghai, who was covered in armor, could not help but said in a deep voice:

"We can't go on like this. These violent beasts are the weakest and have the shortest distance to penetrate into the sword domain. Once the beast tide approaches, they will be the first to come into contact and be wiped out. If there are only a few of us left in the end, there will be no way to turn the situation around. We must organize their strength!"

"How can you turn the tables with just these few people? That's a horde of beasts. Even if you kill hundreds or thousands of them, what will happen?"

Xu Huasheng, who had a hot temper, scolded mercilessly.

"But no matter what, we can't let them die here in vain. At least we can cause more casualties to those beasts!"

Lin Shilun stopped.

Qianyan Sect elder Shi Xuanqi nodded in agreement:
"We are all from Fulong City. When we encounter danger, we should unite and face the enemy together!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding warriors responded one after another. After all, no one came here alone. There were also many relatives and friends who were not so strong, and even disciples. How could they all be abandoned?

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, the leader of the Explosive Bomb Sect, Xu Huasheng, and some other warriors who were unwilling to stay, were frightened by the situation and had to join in.

At a critical moment, the first thing to do is to unify ideas and eliminate those who surrender and flee. Otherwise, once the battle situation becomes unfavorable, the situation will immediately collapse.

Xu Huasheng and others had no doubt about Lin Shilun and his team's determination to take action.

Since the time of the Dragon-Slaying Sword Master, Fulong City has maintained this tradition.

Therefore, even if those disloyal people wanted to avoid the war, they had to bite the bullet and join in at this moment.

Lin Shilun, Song Canghai and others quickly arranged the remaining and defense areas.

Xu Huasheng looked at the people around him, his eyes fell on Ning Yan, and suddenly turned slightly.

When the conversation paused, he suddenly asked:
"The beast tide is fierce. We should strengthen our own strength to fight against the enemy. Is that right?"

The people around were slightly stunned when they heard this.

Shi Xuanqi nodded and said:
"That's right. Does Master Xu have any method to increase our combat power?"

"Elder Shi is right. I just happen to have a way to increase my combat power."

As he spoke, he looked at Ning Yan and revealed his true intentions:

"Everyone has just seen that this little brother Ning holds an extremely powerful spiritual weapon in his hand, which can even crush ordinary spiritual weapons.

He has just been promoted to the Ru Jin level, but he can make the stone tablet spiritual weapon exert such power. If it falls into the hands of people like us who are at the peak of the Ru Jin level, wouldn't it be able to exert even greater power?"

The people around suddenly fell into deep thought, and many of the looks they gave Ning Yan immediately became subtle.

Xu Huasheng continued:

“Of course, I am not coveting his spiritual weapon. I am merely borrowing it. I will return it after the battle, and the spiritual weapon will be handed over to the strongest warrior on the scene.

To show my sincerity, I will take the initiative to withdraw from this screening. I have no selfish motives and am doing this purely for the sake of everyone."

Hearing this, everyone at the scene immediately started discussing:
"Master Xu, what you said makes sense."

"Yes, spiritual weapons generally need to reach the Silk Strength stage to fully exert their power. If this stone tablet falls into the hands of people at the peak of the Entering Strength stage, it will obviously be able to protect more people, and may even be able to directly repel the beast tide that is coming this time."

“I’m just borrowing it. I’m not trying to steal his spiritual weapon. All of you who are at the peak of your energy level are well-known figures, and there are so many people watching. You will never borrow without returning it.

I think he should take it out as soon as possible, so as not to waste everyone's time and let people get familiar with the use of the stone tablet as soon as possible, so that it can exert greater power in war."

"Ning Yan is indeed a genius and extremely powerful. If he is in his peak state now, I won't say whether to lend it to him or not, but the previous battles obviously consumed too much of his strength. Rather than guarding the spiritual weapon and being killed by the disaster beast later, it is better to lend it to Master Lin and others to resolve the beast tide crisis."

……

There was a lot of noise all around, and most of the warriors agreed to lend it out. After all, it was related to their own safety, and they definitely wanted to increase the chances of survival.

Qianyan Sect elder Shi Xuanqi turned his head to look at Ning Yan and asked with a sharp gaze:

"what do you say?"

"If you are willing to agree, as the meritorious person who lent the spiritual weapon, we can let you stay at the back of the battlefield."

At this time, Wu Xuantian suddenly walked out from beside Ning Yan.

He glanced at the warriors around him with shining eyes, then turned to Shi Xuanqi and said with a smile:
“I’m not bragging, my junior brother is quite powerful. Before he was promoted to Ru Jin, he had killed Ru Jin warriors all by himself without any external aid. This happened in the entire Fulong City, no, in the entire Yongding Prefecture. How many people can do this?
Now that he has reached the peak of his strength, how can you be so sure that he is not strong enough? How about this, when he recovers, you can find someone who is at the peak of his strength to fight him and see if he is as weak as you think."

"We didn't have that much time for him to recover."

Shi Xuanqi replied with a serious look.

He then looked at Ning Yan and continued:
“I know you’re afraid that your spiritual weapon will be taken away, but everyone present is an important figure, and they won’t throw away their dignity just for a spiritual weapon.

Of course, if you are still worried, you can take the initiative to lend the spiritual weapon to a warrior you trust. We are several people at the peak of the entry level, and if we really compare, we can definitely compare the strengths, but the gap between us should not be particularly different. It doesn't matter who you give it to.

As long as it is for the greater good, I don’t mind if I withdraw from the competition.”

Ning Yan glanced at everyone and said slowly:
"Have you ever thought that my spiritual weapon is already bound to its user and cannot be transferred to others?"

"Are you kidding? If you don't want to lend it, then don't lend it. Do you think we have never seen a spiritual weapon?"

After being stunned for a moment, Xu Huasheng replied with a sneer.

"That only means that the spiritual weapons you have seen are too low-level."

Ning Yan replied calmly.

Xu Huasheng suddenly became furious:
"you--"

"He's right."

Song Canghai, who was covered in armor, interrupted:
"High-level spiritual weapons are indeed bound. Apart from the user, if they fall into the hands of others, they may not be able to exert even 10% of their power."

As he said this, he looked at Ning Yan:
"Then how can you prove that your stone tablet spiritual weapon is bound to you?"

Ning Yan shook his head:

"I can't prove it."

"Are you kidding us?"

Xu Huasheng's eyes suddenly darkened.

"You don't have to be angry."

Ning Yan said calmly:

"Although I can't prove it, it would be easy to kill you with a spiritual weapon. Do you want to try it?"

Xu Huasheng's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Actually, I have a better suggestion."

Ning Yan looked around at everyone and continued:
"What you lack is a spiritual weapon, right? But in this sword domain, there are spiritual weapons everywhere."

When Lin Shilun, who had a bright mind, heard this, he found it unbelievable:
"Are you planning to break through?"

"Why not?"

Ning Yan asked back:
"Before you came over, I was almost at the Sword Heart Pass. As long as I pass the Sword Heart Pass later, I can at least get a spiritual weapon. Don't you think that having an extra spiritual weapon will greatly increase our combat power?"

"Do you think Jianxin Pass is so easy to pass?"

Xu Huasheng sneered:

"There are so many sword geniuses in Jian Ji Sect, but not one of them can pass the Sword Heart Pass. Even the disciple of Sect Master Duan, Li Qingzhi, finally stopped at four-fifths of the Sword Heart Pass. How can you think you can pass the Sword Heart Pass? You are not even a swordsman!"

Ning Yan glanced at the long sword behind him:

"Who says that someone who carries a knife on his back can't be a swordsman?"

"How confident are you that you can get it?"

Shi Xuanqi suddenly asked.

"Seventy percent."

"how long?"

Shi Xuanqi continued to ask.

Ning Yan glanced at the closest spirit sword:

"Half an hour."

"Half more."

Ning Yan frowned suddenly.

Shi Xuanqi looked at the smoke rising from the top of the mountain:
"You don't have that much time."

Ning Yan nodded silently.

When he turned around and Xu Huasheng was about to stop him, Lin Shilun suddenly took a step forward.

Xu Huasheng looked at Song Canghai.

Song Canghai said calmly:

“It’s not bad to try.”

Xu Huasheng sneered:

"You will regret it."

Ignoring the people behind him, Ning Yan rushed straight into the depths of the sword domain.

Seeing him step into the checkpoint, the Undead Swordsman from the Swordsman Level immediately approached him.

Ning Yan threw a punch without any fancy moves, and when the opponent's sword reached him, he suddenly smashed his head.

Before the blood and flesh on the field fell, Ning Yan had already entered the sword intent barrier.

The violent sword intent suddenly surged in like a tide.

This was the first time he entered the sword intent barrier after being promoted to the Jin level.

If the sword intent at the previous level was like a sudden wave on the lake, then after being promoted to the power at this moment, what appeared before his eyes was clearly a tsunami.

No wonder Yang Wannian and the others had such a hard time walking before.

Ning Yan took a deep breath, allowing his invisibility to completely blend into the Yu-shaped stele. He suddenly picked up his feet and rushed forward madly at an astonishing speed.

Seeing his performance, not only the ordinary warriors present, but even Lin Shilun and others were all shocked.

Everyone present, even if they are not swordsmen, has basically been to the sword domain, it’s just a matter of distance.

Therefore, they all knew more or less the difficulty of the Sword Intent Pass, especially those who had experienced it personally, who knew even more about the difficulties in advancing in it.

They thought Ning Yan should advance slowly, but who would have thought that he would run so ferociously. Isn't he afraid that his consciousness space would be shattered by the sword intent?
If Ning Yan were to say, he really wasn't afraid of that.

As for why I’m not afraid... because the consciousness space has been shattered, so what is there to be afraid of?

At this moment, Ning Yan had already rushed to the last quarter of the Sword Intent Gate. The entire Yu-character stele began to tremble slightly under the impact of the violent sword intent.

The further you go, the greater the vibration.

Later on, even his mind, which had been tightly focused on the stone tablet, could no longer be maintained and he was almost thrown out by the violent impact.

Once it is thrown out, it will be immediately shredded into pieces by the omnipresent sword intent.

If it were under normal circumstances, with a step-by-step approach, he would be able to constantly adapt and adjust as the sword intent impacted him, and advance calmly. He would be more steady than Yang Wannian and the others, and even breaking through the entire sword intent barrier would only take a little more time.

But what he lacks most now is time. The beast army outside the Sword Domain has already crossed the mountain, and he has no extra time to waste.

At this moment, the extreme sense of crisis he faced instead aroused the bandit nature in Ning Yan's heart.

He gritted his teeth, took a step forward and rushed forward fiercely.

The black stone tablet shook violently.

Like a small boat in a storm.

Finally, when it was about to collapse completely, Ning Yan took a step and suddenly entered a new situation.

He broke into Jianxin Pass. (End of this chapter)
