C28 (1/2)
Beneath the nine mountain peaks, the slaughter continued unabated.
Hong Yu had just killed an expert when he heard cries of alarm from a distance. He saw Li Muyue charge into the crowd with a dark blue sword in her hand. Sword light poured out like a waterfall.
No one could stop him, and no one dared to!
She was truly unrivalled, and her status was extremely precious. No one dared to fight over a precious mountain with her.
Almost everyone had shifted targets, leaving only Li Muyue standing alone at the bottom of the mountain.
She raised her head and looked at the peak with a thoughtful expression. With a flick of her Rose Battle Armor, countless throwing knives covered the sky like a swarm of locusts, turning into streaks of light and shooting out.
”Swish! Swish!”
Countless sparks filled the sky as the flying dagger deeply embedded itself into the rock wall.
”What?”
Many people's eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets. They were extremely shocked. They had already guessed Li Mu Yue's intention, but they still couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
This point had already been confirmed by many people. Many experts had already killed their way to the bottom of the nine treasure peaks, but in the face of the smooth and solid cliffs, they could only remain motionless!
And at this moment, Li Muyue had actually used her hidden weapon. Once the throwing knife was used, it easily entered the cliff and was as simple as cutting tofu.
It was simply a shocking move!
Li Muyue did not care about everyone's thoughts. Her figure became light and she jumped up like a bird onto the stone wall with her throwing knife. Just as she was about to step foot on the peak, the True Martial Seal was right in front of her.
Her sudden appearance caused many to feel a sense of urgency.
The fight became more and more intense. Corpses covered the ground, and blood flowed everywhere. Everyone had already killed to the point where each treasure mountain was surrounded by experts, preventing others from getting close.
”As expected of Li Muyue, her martial arts are truly amazing. Her method of climbing the mountain has opened up the way for many people. Right now, the competition for the other eight treasure peaks is already reaching its climax.”
Hong Yu looked at the chaotic scene and a sense of urgency abruptly arose. He did not dare to stay any longer and directly rushed towards the Treasure Mountain.
Previously, when the princes were facing the lofty and desolate Treasure Peak, they had no idea what to do. As they fought and fought, they thought about the way to climb the mountain, but with Li Muyue and Jin Yu in front of them, many people were immediately inspired.
For example, there was a silver-armored youth. His silver hair danced wildly, and his eyes were filled with pride. A few feathers of a rare bird appeared in his hands. They were suffused with a strange luster, as if pieces of ice were rolling in his hands. Suddenly, a plume feather was thrown out, creating a sound of breaking through the air. It streaked across the sky like a cold ray of light, covering the heavens in its splendor like a snowflake.
He used all his strength to send out a palm strike with his full force, hitting the ground and causing smoke and dust to fill the air. Borrowing the recoil, he flew high into the sky, continuously hitting the rock wall, continuously pushing back, and very quickly, he arrived at the summit.
His methods were cruel and direct, killing the contestant to the point of being fearful, evading, and giving up. His method of climbing the mountain was even simpler and more direct, making it seem as if he was above the others in terms of technique. With a slight charge, he stepped on the wall and his entire body surged with evil energy.
Only now did Hong Yu realize that none of these brothers of his were simple. Each of them possessed unique skills, and they even had the royal family's resources slanted towards them. Their methods far surpassed those of ordinary experts of the martial arts world.
He didn't dare to be negligent and stood below the peak, constantly thinking about his own way to climb the peak.
”Crack!”
His five fingers made a grasping motion, and the golden spear particles rumbled, increasing the strength by 2500 jins. His five fingers actually effortlessly stabbed into the rock wall, causing the rock to collapse and rubble to fly everywhere.
”How is this possible?”
Many people were startled and their eyes were filled with shock. ”This kid has inborn divine strength, and he's actually this terrifying. Could it be that he was hiding not only his intelligence, but also his talent?”
They all knew how difficult it was to destroy the treasure mountain rock with their bare hands. Even if a Spirit realm expert opened up some acupoints, without using the Heaven and Earth Terminus Aura, it would still be extremely difficult for them to destroy the treasure mountain with just the power of their physical bodies.
The evildoer Li Muyue had to borrow strength from hidden weapons and throwing daggers in order to climb the treasure mountain. However, Hong Yu was able to destroy the stone wall with just his physical strength; this was truly an evildoer to the extreme.
Seeing this scene, many people were moved. Shock, shock, killing intent …
However, Hong Yu did not know what everyone was thinking. At this moment, as he looked at his five fingers that had sunk deep into the stone wall, he suddenly thought of something and shouted, ”Break for me!”
”Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!”
His hands flew like blades, digging holes in the rock wall. His feet swayed in the air, using only the divine power in his arms to support his body as he climbed up the mountain with great difficulty.
”Why did he choose such a foolish move to climb the mountain? With the speed of a turtle, I wonder when I will be able to reach the top. ” Some onlookers at the side had their lips twitching, ”A fool is a fool, even the methods used are worse than others!”
”Yes, he is the slowest of the nine treasure peaks. Princess Mu Yue has already reached the peak of her cultivation and is refining a True Martial Seal into her body. As for that silver armored youth, he will soon reach the 28th step as well.” There were even people who were pointing at the other treasure peaks as they continued to compare them.
”Is he an idiot? Then what are you? He still has the power to ascend the peak, have you occupied a mountain before? ”
Some people slowly shook their heads and retorted, ”Thirty-six princes are different from others. He has been hibernating for five years without anyone to rely on and has no hidden reserves. He could only rely on his bare hands. ”Look, although his movements are slow, with the Dragon and Tiger's Strength contained within them, would any of you be able to accomplish that?”
”This …”
Everyone was at a loss for words, not knowing how to reply.
That's right, if Hong Yu was a fool, then what were they?
