I made the entire cultivation world cry

Chapter 424 The Battle at the Gate (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

A biting wind, carrying heavy snowflakes, howled across the summit of Kunwu Mountain.

Liu Taozhi, Luo Qingsi, and Hua Gu stood on the snowy mountaintop, with the giant sword behind them piercing the sky like a barrier reaching to the heavens.

They had been waiting here for a long time.

Lights of light kept tearing through the wind and snow as they arrived. Most of the sword cultivators who reached the mountaintop were in a hurry, not even glancing at them, and rushed straight toward the giant sword. Their figures were swallowed up the moment they touched the blade.

"Junior Sister Yaoyao, do you see a word on that sword?"

Luo Qingsi, holding a large snowball, suddenly looked up at the giant sword.

Upon hearing this, Liu Taozhi and Hua Gu looked up and indeed saw an ancient character appear above them amidst the wind and snow.

ten!
Liu Taozhi's heart skipped a beat, and then two more streaks of light rushed into the giant sword, changing the words on it.

Eight!
Liu Taozhi pursed her lips tightly, and Hua Gu nervously tugged at Liu Taozhi's sleeve. Both of them looked nervously at the forest below the mountain.

Only Luo Qingsi was still focused on building a snowman.

Several more figures appeared in the wind and snow, their auras powerful. It was none other than Jing Qisha, a popular contestant among the rogue cultivators. He swept his one eye over Liu Taozhi and the others guarding the giant sword, a cruel smile spreading across his face. He and his two companions charged into the giant sword without hesitation.

five!
"We can't wait any longer!" Liu Taozhi drew her Cold Moon Sword with a clang. "Hua Gu, Senior Sister Qing Si, we must guard the entrance. We won't let anyone in until Senior Sister arrives!"

With a flick of her wrist, Liu Taozhi caused the surrounding snow and wind to converge with the sword energy. Hua Gu puffed out her cheeks and blew a breath at the snow and wind, which instantly transformed into an incredibly solid ice wall, blocking the entrance to the giant sword.

Almost simultaneously, faint footsteps could be heard through the wind and snow.

Five figures walked through the snow. The one in the lead, wearing a straw hat and raincoat, was none other than the rogue cultivator Kuang Zhou, another of the three most popular rogue cultivators in this competition. Behind him were four rogue cultivators with different appearances, but all of them had the aura of late Golden Core stage cultivators.

"Blocking the door?" A burly man with a thick beard behind Kuang Zhou sneered. "You three little girls? If you know what's good for you, get out of the way!"

Liu Tao's gaze was firm, and the Cold Moon Sword in her hand was pointed at the five people.

"If you want to get over here, kill me first!"

"And I!"

Luo Qingsi also stood up from the ground, shaking off the wind and snow covering her body.

Hua Gu reacted extremely quickly. Her petite body leaped upwards and transformed into a cloud in mid-air, instantly enveloping an area of ​​ten miles in the blink of an eye.

The thick, cold fog not only greatly restricts divine sense perception and vision, but also freezes the intruder's spiritual energy flow with its biting chill.

Kuang Zhou lowered his bamboo hat and immediately became alert. "His body is turning into mist. Is he a magic cultivator? Or a demon?"

"A mere trick!" a rogue cultivator wielding a two-handed heavy sword roared, swinging his sword to cut through the thick fog.

Liu Taozhi moved like a streak of azure light, her speed increasing rapidly amidst the mist spread by Hua Gu. Her Cold Moon Sword unleashed a flurry of sword energy, like countless cold stars, instantly enveloping the four people except for Kuang Zhou.

Over the past decade, Liu Taozhi, Luo Qingsi, and Hua Gu have cultivated together, developing an extraordinary tacit understanding. When Hua Gu is in the mist, not only can her water and ice spiritual powers enhance her sword energy, but she can also use the wind to boost her movement speed.

With Hua Gu's assistance, even though Liu Taozhi is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, she still has the power to fight against those at the late stage of the Golden Core realm. This is why the senior sister asked Hua Gu to follow her.

Liu Taozhi and Hua Gu cooperated with each other, fighting against four opponents alone. They used the Qingwei Sword Intent to overcome strength with softness, advancing and retreating with restraint, neither resisting head-on nor launching strong attacks, only aiming to hinder their progress and prevent the four late-stage Golden Core sword cultivators from gaining any advantage.

Luo Qingsi, like a leopard released from its cage, instantly unleashed a blinding burst of lightning as she pounced on Kuang Zhou, who possessed the highest cultivation level.

"Look at the sword!"

Kuang Zhou dodged to the side, and Luo Qingsi's sword strike missed, but nothing happened.

Then Luo Qingsi ran even faster than Kuang Zhou, disappearing into the fog in the blink of an eye.

Just as Kuangzhou was completely dumbfounded... Boom!
A blinding purple bolt of lightning ripped through the thick fog and snow, striking directly at the top of the mad boat.

Kuangzhou was prepared and calmly dodged, thus avoiding being struck by the delayed Primordial True Lightning.

Luo Qingsi remained calm and immediately remembered the method taught to her by the smelly child who had turned into a mirror.

Luo Qingsi raised her sword again and slashed down at the mad boat.

"Still this trick?"

Kuang Zhou chuckled, took a step away from his original position, and thrust the simple, unadorned short sword in his hand straight at the opening in Luo Qingsi's chest, striking first despite being behind.

A sharp glint flashed in Luo Qingsi's eyes as she swung her sword to parry. The two exchanged sword shadows for several rounds. Just as Kuangzhou was briefly restrained, the delayed Primordial True Lightning finally struck the spot where Kuangzhou had just been.

Luo Qingsi suddenly raised her left hand and pulled a sword out of thin air from the back of her neck. Holding a sword in each hand, she was able to use different moves.

Her right-hand sword unleashed a thunderous strike, while her left-hand sword swept across the top of Kuang Zhou's head. Kuang Zhou ducked, but the sword energy exploded, and an invisible giant wave, carrying the phantom of a small boat, crashed into Luo Qingsi, forcing her back several steps.

Just then, the belated Primordial True Lightning vanished into thin air a few feet behind him, and then suddenly struck down from above his head.

Space rift?!
Kuang Zhou's expression changed in horror. In his haste, a gray sword aura surged up, and he hurriedly raised his short sword to block.

boom!
A blinding purple lightning bolt exploded, and Kuangzhou's protective sword aura shattered like paper, the short sword flying out of his hand with a mournful cry.

Kuang Zhou was struck as if by a mountain, his entire body slammed into the depths of a thick snowdrift by the violent lightning force, blood gushing out.

Luo Qingsi clenched her fist excitedly, thinking that although the mirror was prone to scolding people, the methods it taught her were truly useful.

Since the Primordial True Lightning fell slowly, she used her empty sword to tear open a spatial rift and redirect the purple lightning as it struck. This way, she could make the lightning fall wherever she wanted.

At that time, the squares in various cities were in an uproar.

"The combination of an empty sword and lightning is an incredible skill!"

"This girl from the Primordial Sword Sect is too smart. She made Kuang Zhou, who was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, vomit blood when she was only in the mid-Golden Core stage. What a dark horse!"

"Isn't that right? I heard that she is the one who obtained the Primordial Sword Intent Sword Seed on Sword Testing Peak ten years ago."

"That female sword cultivator at the early stage of Golden Core is also quite powerful. She's from the Qingwei Sword Sect, right? I saw her with Shen Qingming and the others before. How come disciples from these two sects are getting together?"

Inside the main hall of the Qingwei Sword Sect.

"it is good!"

Yuan Shu Xingjun of the Tai Chu Sword Sect burst into laughter, very satisfied with Luo Qingsi's performance.

Cangyi Star Lord of Qingwei Sword Sect and Daoyuan Star Lord of Lingxu Sword Sect also nodded in approval.

Jiang Yunye was equally pleased, and even raised an eyebrow at Su Hua beside him, after all, these were all promising talents from their Xuan Ying Sword Sect.

Before the battle was over, several Void Refining Star Lords intervened, freezing the scene on the light screen in place.

Not only did Luo Qingsi's performance shine, but Liu Taozhi also demonstrated her exceptional swordsmanship talent and overall control. Although she had a hard time defeating the four, she was able to steadily hold them off, which was quite remarkable.

Just as the situation was about to reach a balance, a team of four suddenly broke into the snowstorm.

As soon as they reached the summit, they saw a fierce battle raging in the clouds.

"They're blocking the entrance!" someone shouted. "Fellow cultivators, please lend a hand! Only by defeating them can we enter the secret realm!"

The four looked at each other and joined the battle without hesitation, attacking Luo Qingsi and Liu Taozhi.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Liu Taozhi was struck by several fierce sword energies and was forced to retreat. Hua Gu used her mist to help Liu Taozhi deflect the force of the sword energies, but Liu Taozhi was already bleeding from the corner of her mouth under the pressure and had suffered internal injuries.

After all, she was only a sword cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and the sharpness and depth of her sword energy were far inferior to those of sword cultivators in the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Hua Gu conjured a clone in the clouds, its Cloud Thunder Claw wrapped in the purple lightning of Primordial True Thunder, and fiercely slashed down at the group in front of it. In a burst of exploding arcs of electricity, it forced the group back, but the clone was still destroyed by the sword cultivator who attacked from the side.

"You're not allowed to hit my junior sister Yaoyao and baby Huahua."

Luo Qingsi originally intended to press her advantage against Kuangzhou, but seeing that Liu Taozhi and Huagu were outmatched, she immediately drew her sword to provide support.

At this moment, Kuang Zhou, who had just been defeated by Luo Qingsi, actually got up again and took the opportunity to rush behind the group. He cleaved through the ice blocking the entrance with a sword and forced his way into the giant sword.

On the greatsword, the number changed from 'five' to 'four'.

This change has drawn everyone's attention; the implications of the numbers are self-evident.

Everyone panicked and immediately launched a fierce attack with all their might, forcing Liu Taozhi and the others to break through the defenses. Two of them rushed towards the giant sword at lightning speed.

"Are you using numbers to bully the few?"

Crimson flames tore through the swirling snow and suddenly appeared in front of the giant sword.

The air surged and the snow swirled, instantly knocking back the two sword cultivators who had charged forward.

Everyone turned to look, and there stood a magnificent, giant fox demon, clad in crimson armor, baring its teeth and growling. The intense heat emanating from its body melted away the surrounding ice and snow.

Sitting atop the fox demon's broad back was Jiang Yi, dressed in fluttering blue robes, carrying two swords, and with her black hair dancing wildly in the wind.

Her gaze was like cold stars as she looked down at the crowd before her, leaning forward and uttering a sentence with a hint of mockery.

"Excuse me, the one with the most people right now is... me."
