Peerless Sword God

The elder was dressed in green, with a warm smile on his face and a faint sense of pressure.

With the appearance of the elder, the disciples around him all turned their heads and looked over here with excitement.

"Everyone, today is the half-yearly Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm. There are more than 300 disciples participating in the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm. Now, let me announce the rules and rewards..."

The elder in green spoke slowly. His voice was not loud, but many disciples below could hear it clearly.

The elder in green first announced the number of people who entered the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm this time, and then reminded the rules of this Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm.

The opening time of the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm is two hours. After two hours, the exit of the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm will be opened. At that time, the disciples will be ranked in the order in which they walked out.

There are ten people in the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm this time. In addition to being promoted to inner disciples, the top ten can also obtain elixirs and enter the library to select secret books.

However, the rewards received vary slightly depending on the ranking. The first place winner can get a top-grade Earth Spirit Pill, the second place winner a high-grade Earth Spirit Pill, and the third place winner a medium-grade Earth Spirit Pill.

The first place winner can choose a low-level Xuan-grade martial arts for free when entering the library. Although the second place winner can also choose a low-level Xuan-grade martial arts, he needs to pay one-third of the contribution points of this martial arts. As for the third place winner, he needs to pay half of the contribution points of this martial arts.

In addition, the seven disciples from the fourth to the tenth place will each receive a low-grade Earth Spirit Pill and the qualification to exchange for low-level Xuan-grade martial arts with contribution points slightly lower than the original price.

Hearing about this reward, Lin Chen's eyes lit up. The Earth Spirit Pill is a high-level pill unique to the Tianji Sect. Taking it can accumulate a large amount of true energy in the body and reduce the time of cultivation by one month.

Compared with the geniuses of the inner sect, Lin Chen is inferior in that he has a short time of cultivation. If he can get this Earth Spirit Pill, then it will be much easier to cultivate.

But what makes Lin Chen more excited is that he can enter the library to select low-level Xuan-level martial arts!

"Although I can also use contribution points to exchange low-level Xuan-level martial arts after entering the inner gate, if I get in the top ten in this Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm, it will be much easier to exchange low-level Xuan-level martial arts."

Inner gate disciples need a huge amount of contribution points to exchange low-level Xuan-level martial arts. And once you get in the top ten in this Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm, it is equivalent to exempting this huge contribution point, which is no less than the sound of nature for Lin Chen.

However, it is not so easy for Lin Chen to get in the top ten. Among the disciples who participated in the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm this time, many of them have hidden strengths. They could have entered the inner gate through the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm in the past, but they stayed until now just to get in the top ten and get this reward!

But there is still a chance. As long as he rushes to the exit before the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm is opened, Lin Chen may not be able to compete for one or two.

"There are spiritual objects scattered in the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm that can enhance strength. Now all the disciples who are participating in the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm, please be prepared." The green-clothed elder continued.

"Damn, I almost broke through the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm last time, I can definitely do it this time!"

"Me too, but I heard that this time there are not only puppets in the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm, but also more powerful puppet beasts. It's a bit risky."

The disciples around them suddenly exploded, gritted their teeth, and tried to successfully enter the inner door in this Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm.

Click, click, click...

As the elder's voice fell, several deacons standing at the entrance of the Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm immediately opened the entrance and stepped aside.

Rows of puppets appeared in front of everyone.

These puppets are two meters tall, made of black wood, holding knives or swords in their hands, and each stood still.

Lin Chen was not surprised by this. This puppet is a product left over from the Puppet Sect in ancient times. Although it has no wisdom, it can sense the creatures around it and attack them.

Hundreds of years ago, a sect leader of Tianji Sect accidentally got the refining method of it when he was out. Unfortunately, the strength of these puppets is not strong, only equivalent to the martial artist of the body refining realm, so Tianji Sect used them to test the outer disciples.

"Go!"

In the crowd, no one knows who shouted, and immediately dozens of disciples took the lead in running towards the entrance of Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm.

The entrance to Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm is a gate that is dozens of meters wide. Outside the door, you can feel the coldness brought by the puppets inside.

"Bang bang bang..."

A sound of weapons colliding came to my ears, and it was obvious that the people inside had already fought against the puppets.

Lin Chen mixed in the crowd and walked slowly into the entrance of Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm.

Crossing the entrance, there is a majestic square inside, and there are many passages around the square. As long as the disciples follow the passages, they will reach the exit of Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm. Of course, if you want to reach the exit of Tianluo Mountain Secret Realm through these passages, you must pass through various puppets.

"Break the mountain and break the rocks!"

Not far from Lin Chen, a young man holding a big knife chopped down at a puppet.

The puppet didn't care and raised the long sword in his hand to stab the boy's chest.

Seeing this, the boy's face changed, and he hurriedly retracted the big knife that had been thrown out, and turned to resist the puppet's attack.

Bang.

A dull sound sounded, and when the big knife and the long sword intersected, the boy's body was shaken back more than ten steps away, and his face was pale and ugly.

"Hiss, this year's puppets are so strong!" Seeing this, some disciples who had just entered the square took a breath.

Lin Chen felt a little magical. These puppets were obviously not intelligent, but the swordsmanship they displayed was in line with the rules and powerful.

Shaking his head, Lin Chen was about to leave this place quickly, when he suddenly heard the sound of a knife.

A puppet holding a big knife chopped at Lin Chen.

The cold blade pointed directly at Lin Chen, making some weak warriors around him tremble in their hearts.

"Huh?" Lin Chen turned around instantly and punched the puppet in the chest.

Bang.

The puppet's body flew backwards in response, and fell to the ground with a low sound.

Lin Chen didn't even look at the puppet, stepped out with two feet, and walked quickly towards a passage on the left side of the square.

"Damn, the puppet swordsman was killed instantly!"

The warriors around saw this and their eyes widened immediately, looking at Lin Chen's back in surprise.

After Lin Chen entered the passage, three disciples from another corner of the square also followed into the passage.

This passage is very wide, and there are already many disciples in it, fighting with the puppets.

After Lin Chen threw out his fist and knocked back a puppet, his internal Qi circulated, and he shuttled between the puppets with the Qingyun Step, and ran forward quickly.

"Cut, if I had known earlier, I would have practiced the footwork hard, otherwise I would have rushed forward long ago." A disciple saw Lin Chen's figure shuttle between the puppets and disappear in the blink of an eye, and couldn't help but show envy on his face, and said in annoyance.

Lin Chen moved very fast, avoiding the puppets wherever he could, and if he couldn't avoid them, Lin Chen would punch them away.

After about half a cup of tea, Lin Chen came to the end of the passage.

At the end is the fork of three passages. At first glance, no matter which passage it is, it is winding and twisting, like a maze. More importantly, there are many puppets in these passages.

These puppets are strong and numerous. Once surrounded by them, even Lin Chen will find it difficult to escape in a short time.

Lin Chen chose a passage that seemed to have fewer puppets. Just as he was about to walk in, a dull sound of footsteps came from behind him.

In the blink of an eye, three figures rushed to Lin Chen and surrounded him in a triangle.

"Hehe, Lin Chen, I let you escape twice in a row. Now you are in the secret realm of Tianluo Mountain. I want to see how you can get out!"

These three people are Ma Liang, Li Chuan and Ma Liang's friend Ye Mingjun. After entering the square, the three noticed Lin Chen and followed him all the way. Finally, they surrounded him before Lin Chen entered the next passage. Li Chuan said in a gloomy tone in excitement.

Ma Liang looked at Lin Chen with a gloomy face. Last time at the entrance of the martial arts hall, he was severely injured by Lin Chen in front of many outer disciples. He lost face and hated Lin Chen in his heart. He wanted to kill Lin Chen immediately.

Among the three people, only Ye Mingjun had a calm face.

Ye Mingjun looked at Lin Chen and said, "It's interesting, kid, if you kowtow and admit your mistakes now and give up your cultivation, we can still spare your life."

Although Lin Chen had defeated Ma Liang before, Ye Mingjun didn't care much. His cultivation was the early eighth level of the body refining realm. In terms of strength, he was much stronger than Ma Liang.

And he knew very well that Ma Liang was very arrogant. Perhaps he was angered by Lin Chen and was careless, so he was defeated by Lin Chen. Therefore, in Ye Mingjun's view, Lin Chen had some martial arts talent, but he was still not his opponent.

Lin Chen glanced at Ye Mingjun and said calmly: "I should have said this. If you leave now, I can still forgive you."

Ye Mingjun is the eighth level of the body refining realm, but Lin Chen's strength is now different from before. He didn't use his full strength to deal with Ma Liang, so how could he be afraid of Ye Mingjun who is almost the same as Ma Liang?

"Boy, you are courting death!" Ye Mingjun's face suddenly became ugly. He originally thought that Lin Chen would kowtow and beg for mercy in fear when he saw him, and then he would destroy Lin Chen's cultivation without hesitation. Unexpectedly, Lin Chen looked indifferent and was not afraid of him at all.

Ma Liang said gloomily: "Brother Ye, don't waste your time talking to him. Let's go together and destroy this kid!"

Ma Liang wanted to kill Lin Chen immediately. He drew his long sword and stabbed Lin Chen fiercely.

Almost at the moment when Ma Liang drew out his sword, Lin Chen's hands suddenly moved. With a clang, the fine steel sword came out of its sheath. At the same time, a one-meter-long sword energy came from the fine steel sword and hit Ma Liang directly.

Seven-star chain sword!

Bang!

Ma Liang felt a huge force coming from his hands, and his body kept retreating more than ten meters before stopping.

Lin Chen stood there, expressionless, as if he had never moved.

With the significant improvement of Lin Chen's physical fitness, the power of Lin Chen's Seven-star Chain Sword became stronger and stronger. Under this blow, even though Ma Liang was a warrior at the peak of the seventh level of the Body Refining Realm, he was also blown away.

"Hey, what happened in front?"

"It was Lin Chen and Ma Liang. Didn't Ma Liang lose to Lin Chen? How dare he come to trouble Lin Chen?"

At this moment, several figures suddenly rushed out from the passage. They looked at Ma Liang who was knocked away, and then looked at Lin Chen who was half surrounded by Li Chuan and Ye Mingjun. They were slightly stunned and talked in a low voice.

After hearing what these people said, even though Ma Liang was calm, his face flushed at this moment. If it weren't for Lin Chen, would he be so embarrassed?
