an had long expected such a series of reactions. Now, he could retire with honors and no longer need to participate in this auction that was essentially a foregone conclusion.Because more and more peo...Wang Jian had been extremely relaxed throughout the journey. In addition to his strong confidence, he had been biding his time for four years, all leading up to today. He not only aimed to finish the sword forging with the first place but also to surpass Fang Yu Xuan's previous achievement. Therefore, he completely disregarded looking back at others and was unaware of Jiang Yun's sudden appearance.

Wei Zhengyang's transmission made his body tremble slightly, not from being shocked that Wei Zhengyang had asked him to kill, but from the shock of realizing that someone could still catch up to him.

However, he still didn't turn back because now, he couldn't afford even the slightest distraction. This final tenth of his swordsmanship was terrifying not only for the sheer quantity of sword energy and intent but also because here, the sword intent could take form!

Sword qi can take shape, intangible sword intent, strong to a certain extent, can also take shape!

Although he didn't know which sword intent would manifest, Wang Jian was on high alert. Every step he took was cautious and deliberate, as if he were walking on thin ice.

Just as Wang Jian stepped onto the last foot of his sword, Jiang Yun had also covered six thousand zhang in just a moment, chasing from the end all the way to fifth place.

Ahead of him, there were only four people left: Wang Jian, Huo Yuan, and two outer disciples.

But Jiang Yun didn't know at all how shocking his performance looked in the eyes of the onlookers. However, at this moment, he had to slow down his speed.

Because previously, after every thousand zhang traveled, both sword qi and sword intent would increase, albeit gradually. However, after passing six thousand zhang, their quantity had surged, doubling that of five thousand zhang.

The dense sword energy was like a torrential downpour, striking his body with a clattering sound, adding some resistance to his advance.

Fortunately, despite the surging sword intent that was also increasing dramatically, he could still easily block it with the lightning net within his body.

Although Ginger Cloud's speed was indeed slower, that was compared to his own previous speed. Compared to others, he was still much faster.

When Jiang Yun walked seven thousand zhang, in his eyes, he could already see three figures ahead of him, only a few hundred zhang away.

And these three people obviously hadn't noticed Jiang Yun, especially the two outer sect disciples at the back who were panting heavily while talking.

"Lao Luo, haven't you used all your strength yet"

"Well, aren't you holding back a little too"

"Well, we'll give everyone a big surprise when the last minute comes!"

"Haha, good..."

Their conversation suddenly came to an abrupt halt, for at their side, Ginger Cloud had already taken large strides, easily passing them by.

"This is impossible!"

Both of them almost simultaneously widened their eyes, staring fixedly at Jiang Yun's figure that was gradually disappearing. After regaining their senses, they looked at each other, not needing to speak a word. One body suddenly burst forth with a yellow light, while the other person took out a shining pill from their hand and swallowed it.

Obviously, Jiang Yun's unexpected appearance greatly stimulated the two of them, causing them to disregard waiting until the last moment and instead simultaneously took out their hidden final trump cards.

It's a pity, though their speed has indeed increased by a few points compared to before, the distance between them and Jiang Yun is getting farther and farther...

At this time, Huo Yuan was advancing at a snail's pace, almost as if he were crawling.

Even with the magical Ice Soul Sword in his hand, it still required spiritual energy to wield it. And with his cultivation at the sixth level of meridian opening, coupled with countless pills to replenish his energy, he had truly reached his limit and could no longer continue.

Looking ahead, there was still nearly three thousand zhang of distance. Although Huo Yuan's heart was filled with unwillingness, a proud smile appeared on his face as he panted heavily and said: "Although I didn't succeed in crossing it, second place is enough to be admired by everyone. Especially among all the newly enrolled disciples, besides Wushang, no one can surpass me."

As he spoke, Huo Yuan suddenly felt a strange unease in his heart. His mind flashed with a pair of menacing eyes, making him shiver involuntarily and shake his head frantically, trying to shake the owner of those eyes out of his mind.

That savage is merely strong physically. There's no Body Cultivation Peak among the Five Peaks for him to challenge, so there's no need to worry about him. He and I are ultimately not on the same level!

Because Zheng Yuan had been in seclusion after the small match, he only just came out yesterday, so he has no idea about the battle between Jiang Yun and Zheng Yuan!

Although he kept reassuring himself, for some reason, Huo Yuan's uneasiness grew heavier and heavier until he could no longer bear it and suddenly turned around to look behind him.

Huoyuan saw a pair of eyes that didn't radiate malice, but which he would never be able to forget.

And the owner of those eyes didn't even glance at him, gazing straight ahead and walking away at a pace that seemed utterly unbelievable to Huo Yuan.

"Ginger Cloud!"

Not until the other person's figure had completely vanished from his sight did Huo Yuan let out a heart-wrenching, ear-splitting howl. He looked up and spat a mouthful of blood into the sky.

"Poof poof poof!"

The next moment, countless sword energies struck him, directly forcing him out of the Zhantian Sword's blade.

As Huo Yuan fell, Jiang Yun's ranking rose to second, moving eight thousand zhang forward. He was even less than a thousand zhang away from the first place Wang Jian.

At this moment, the Hall of Asking Dao was eerily silent. Even the breaths of Eastern Bo and the other three became noticeably quickened.

Because the impact Ginger Cloud brought them was simply too huge.

For three hours, walking the entire 10,000-zhang length of the Zhantian Sword was a challenge that defeated countless disciples seeking the path of the sword. Therefore, when Fang Yu Xuan achieved this feat in just two hours, even Xian Yuan Xing had to admit that Fang Yu Xuan truly possessed extraordinary talent on the path of the sword.

But now, Jiang Yun has only taken less than half an hour to cover more than eight thousand zhang. If he can maintain this speed and finally walk the entire sword body, then the record he creates will not only throw Fang Yuxian far behind, but also create a precedent without any predecessor.

To everyone's astonishment and anticipation, Jiang Yun finally crossed the distance of nine thousand zhang. And three hundred zhang ahead of him, was Wang Jian.

At this moment, there are less than two hours left until the summit is reached!

And just then, a doubtful voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Jiang Yun, isn't he both a martial artist and a cultivator Could he still be a sword cultivator"

The utterance sent another wave of shock through the crowd, for they suddenly realized that they had been overlooking a crucial issue all along.

Jian Dao Feng is prepared for sword cultivators. All the disciples on it, no matter how far they go, will always have a sword in their hands.

However, Jiang Yun had already walked nine thousand zhang, yet he was still empty-handed.

Could it be that he relied solely on his physical strength to reach this point Even if his body could withstand the sword qi, how could he possibly resist the intangible sword intent

Look, Jiang Yun has made a move!
