Ch 727: Heavenly Thunder
Nine Realms Mountain’s unique Restriction rendered Li Hanzhou’s various methods ineffective, leaving only his own strength.
In this situation, facing a powerful enemy whose defenses he couldn’t break, he could only continuously squeeze his Potential.
And the Power of Thunder within his body responded to his life-or-death determination, making his Speed faster and faster!
In Li Hanzhou’s hand, surging Lightning Light enveloped his Long Sword; this makeshift Low-grade Spirit Artifact showed signs of breaking.
The vast Thunder and lightning descended with the sword. The Black Robed Person, who had always been at ease against Li Hanzhou, finally showed a change in expression.
“Remarkable comprehension ability, incredible Comprehension!” The Black Robed Person’s Speed was far inferior to Li Hanzhou’s; he had no room to dodge, only to gather his strength and withstand the blow.
A harsh scraping sound rang out; the Black Robed Person’s Clothes split open at the back, and a red mark appeared on his skin.
This result didn’t even count as an Injury, but it proved to Li Hanzhou that his idea was correct.
As long as it’s fast enough, nothing is unbreakable!
“This trial is entering the countdown.” The Black Robed Person watched Li Hanzhou’s Figure hidden in the Lightning Light, silently dropping the useless Heavy Sword in his hand: “Burning yourself like this without reservation, you can’t hold on for long; you’re nearing your limit.”
“Before that, I will defeat you first!” At this moment, Li Hanzhou seemed to have become Thunder, his whole body experiencing the pain of being torn apart, yet also the exhilaration of being able to roam freely across the vast Heaven and Earth.
One after another, blood marks appeared on his body. Li Hanzhou’s Speed became faster and faster, until he broke through a certain limit.
“With this One Sword, I can defeat him.” A clear understanding arose in Li Hanzhou’s heart; after a few breaths, he appeared, stopping not far in front of the Black Robed Person.
At this moment, the Long Sword in Li Hanzhou’s hand was already broken, but it was forcibly held together by the Thunder, which was as substantial as a solid object, allowing it to continue to function as a Weapon.
“Thank you for your instruction.”
“It’s merely my eagerness to teach.” The Black Robed Person frowned at Li Hanzhou, not knowing why he had suddenly stopped: “Come again, we haven’t decided the victor yet!”
“It’s already over.” Li Hanzhou opened his palm; the damaged Long Sword fell to the Ground, instantly turning into a pile of Fragments.
Only then did the Black Robed Person lower his head as if realizing something and saw the bloodstain on his waist.
“When did I get hurt?”
“When did he make that cut?”
“His sword…it’s too fast for me to see.”
The Black Robed Person showed a relieved smile, closed his eyes and fell backward, instantly turning into black mist and dissipating.
Li Hanzhou calmly watched him disappear, raised his hand and grasped another illusory Long Sword: “Fifth Level, I’ve passed.”
“The Fifth Level, how could he possibly have passed?!”
Outside Nine Realms Mountain, the White-Clothed Scholar watched the fifth Gem representing progress light up, unable to maintain his previous composure.
“It shouldn’t be, why could he pass the Fifth Level?”
“Since the appearance of this trial in Nine Realms Mountain, countless remarkably talented individuals have entered.”
“But I’ve never heard of any Heavenly Pride passing the Fifth Level’s trial at the Nascent Soul Stage. This isn’t a matter of the quantity of Strength, but a substantial gap in Dao Realm.”
The White-Clothed Scholar fell into deep doubt, even the taste of alcohol was gone.
“How did he do it?” The White-Clothed Scholar repeatedly reviewed the events in his mind, unable to imagine what Method Li Hanzhou used.
Even he, when he entered Nine Realms Mountain at the Nascent Soul Stage, had absolutely no chance of clearing the Fifth Level.
“He used only half a month, relentlessly breaking through five levels, directly becoming a Gold Medal Inspector. Li Hanzhou… truly is unfathomable.”
The White-Clothed Scholar had never heard of this name before; when did such a hero appear in the Thirteen States of Tongtian?
“Li Hanzhou, although not the youngest Gold Medal Inspector, is definitely the lowest in Realm!”
“Hmm?”
The White-Clothed Scholar sensed someone coming out of Nine Realms Mountain and quickly turned to look. He found it was a short and fat Youth and lost interest in a second glance.
“Li Hanzhou hasn’t come out yet? He went straight to the Sixth Level!”
“The difficulty of the Sixth Floor is not comparable to the previous few levels; guarding it are one hundred Golden Apes.”
“The Strength of each Golden Ape is about the same as the Black Robed Person on the Fifth Level, and perhaps their Defensive Power is even higher.”
If it were before today, the White-Clothed Scholar would have undoubtedly concluded that Li Hanzhou would be slaughtered by the Golden Apes, no matter how many times he tried, he would end up giving up in disgrace.
However, Li Hanzhou had surprised him too many times; the White-Clothed Scholar no longer had the confidence to be so certain: “The Golden Apes’ Consciousness and Strength are far from comparable to the Black Scale Lion and Wind Fang Wolf. How will Li Hanzhou Break the Situation?”
“How am I supposed to Break the Situation…?”
Li Hanzhou had just passed the Fifth Level, his Way of Thunder advancing further. He was Excited, eager to test his Sword Edge against an enemy.
However, when he stepped into the Desolate Mountain of the Sixth Level, he was immediately dumbfounded.
The Golden Apes, standing upright, were over ten meters tall. Their bronze-colored skin shone with a metallic texture; as they walked, the Ground trembled slightly.
Such Fierce Beasts, a hundred of them stood before him. Even if Li Hanzhou was exceptionally brave, he didn’t dare approach them.
However, Li Hanzhou not approaching didn’t mean the Golden Apes hostile to him wouldn’t come.
Dong dong dong!
A Golden Ape that had spotted a living person immediately stood up straight, pounding its Chest with its hands.
A rumbling sound like war drums echoed; the violently shaking Ground threw the Sand and Stone on the mountain high into the air!
One hundred Golden Apes charged towards Li Hanzhou almost simultaneously; the entire mountain trembled from their mad rush.
“This time, do I need to kill their leader first?” Li Hanzhou naturally wouldn’t foolishly stay put; he retreated while observing the group of apes.
Among the Golden Apes, there was indeed a leader, and it was easy to identify; its size was far larger than its peers.
“However, their mode of operation is different from the Wind Fang Wolves; they don’t completely obey their leader, and their behavior depends more on themselves.”
“My appearance here may be seen as a threat, which is why they’re swarming me now, trying to kill me like madmen.”
“I just squeezed out all my Potential to pass the Fifth Level; I have Injuries all over my body, and simply dodging won’t allow me to escape.”
Nine Realms Mountain was just a Virtual Illusion; death wouldn’t leave any Aftereffects, and the last trace of worry in Li Hanzhou’s heart had long since disappeared.
“If you want to kill me, see if you have the ability!” Li Hanzhou stopped, his Long Sword pointing to the ground, the bright Thunder Light surging back and forth on his body and the blade, finally merging into one.
The sword that killed the Black Robed Person on the Fifth Level reappeared.
Li Hanzhou gave it a simple name.
“Jun Lei!”
