Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled Chapter 495 - 491: The Third Trial, Celestial Sword Mountain

These dozen or so people seed to have encountered sothing extrely terrifying. Even after leaving the position of the Evil Sword Valley, they kept looking back as if afraid that sothing might chase them out.

Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, finding Li Qingyu in the group.

The sword mark that nearly cleaved Li Qingyu in two had vanished, but she still looked quite bedraggled.

While Xia Feng clicked his tongue in wonder, the team on Li Qingyu’s side was equally shocked.

They had seen Xia Feng be occupied and corroded by the Celestial God Demon Heart, and now he was intact, appearing outside the Evil Sword Valley. Just how strong was he?

Their squad initially had almost a hundred people. Although they thought they couldn’t defeat the Third Grade Celestial God Sword Demon, they believed they could try against the First Grade.

On the critical path ahead, they happened upon a lone enemy and, under Li Qingyu’s instigation, charged with overwhelming confidence.

The outco was that even a First Grade Celestial God Sword Demon was too much for their fragnted team to handle.

Initially, when they saw how easily Xia Feng dealt with it, they dismissed the companions who died at the hands of the Third Grade Celestial God Sword Demon, thinking they, too, could easily dispose of the Sword Demon.

Eventually, it was mostly the Sword Demon that got rid of them. Had Li Qingyu not thrown several Purification Treasure Pearls at the last minute, these dozen people probably wouldn’t have survived and left that spot.

The Heavenly Demon Heart, obtained by exchanging so many lives, was sothing Li Qingyu and the others didn’t dare to touch.

No one dared to approach the Heavenly Demon Heart after witnessing the scene when Xia Feng absorbed it.

In the end, they could only retreat quite a distance away, watching as another Sword Demon erged and swallowed the Heavenly Demon Heart.

Li Qingyu’s eyes turned slightly red. For a mont, she truly wanted to rush forward and absorb the Heavenly Demon Heart heedlessly.

But rembering how even soone as strong as Xia Feng was tornted by the Heavenly Demon Heart, Li Qingyu’s resolve cooled significantly.

Now that they had finally crawled out of Evil Sword Valley, only to see Xia Feng, who was supposed to be dead, perfectly fine outside it.

If she had known the Heavenly Demon Heart could be consud, Li Qingyu might have tried to absorb so even if it ant sacrificing a few more Purification Treasure Pearls.

Earlier, she could still estimate Xia Feng’s cultivation, but now she could no longer feel his realm, which was surely related to the Heavenly Demon Heart he absorbed.

Xia Feng slightly squinted his eyes, looking at Li Qingyu with a half-smile: "What? Want to have another competition?"

Li Qingyu’s body trembled slightly. She didn’t want to admit defeat yet dared not face Xia Feng, leading to a conflicted expression.

Mu Qi, standing beside her, showed a hint of flattery, suppressing the fear in her heart as she stepped forward: "Sir, the second trial just ended, and we don’t know much about the situation of the third trial yet, perhaps it’s better to avoid conflict..."

Xia Feng let out a light snort, no longer looking at the others, while Li Qingyu coldly found an unoccupied pavilion to enter.

The talented individuals following her glanced at Xia Feng and his group of three, then at Li Qingyu. Although sowhat displeased with her earlier hesitance, they still stood in Li Qingyu’s pavilion.

Xia Feng sneered, refraining from entering the Dream Realm Pearl, estimating that the second trial was nearly concluded.

As ti trickled by, a few dozen more crawled out from Evil Sword Valley, all hesitating before standing in Li Qingyu’s pavilion, suggesting she was their leader.

Xia Feng didn’t think much of it, only internally calculating when he could enter the third trial.

When the figure of the Holy Sword Elder appeared, Xia Feng couldn’t help but frown, his expression turning more cautious.

Xia Feng had previously been a Ninth Layer Martial God. Though strong in combat, his cultivation wasn’t imnsely high. But now he had broken through to the Celestial God Realm.

Normally, facing the Holy Sword Elder, the pressure should have lessened.

Yet Xia Feng felt nothing; even reaching the Celestial God Realm, the oppressive feeling facing the Holy Sword Elder was still suffocatingly unbeatable.

He grew more vigilant, slightly positioning himself in front of Xia Tianming and Li Qingxue.

The Holy Sword Elder glanced around, showing a sowhat stiff smile: "Congratulations on passing the second trial of the Holy Sword Pavilion."

"Next is the third and final trial."

A peculiar feeling grew in Xia Feng’s heart; the second trial had such high mortality, yet there was no reward like the first trial’s Sword Intent Body?

Was the third trial starting right away?

Xia Feng, seemingly in contemplation, watched as the mist outside the pavilion gradually faded, revealing a mountain rising from the ground.

Just as the mountain was about to erge, three or five young elites suddenly ca out from the base.

Liu Yu coughed fiercely: "Damn, finally found the exit. Was this thing constantly changing?"

The Holy Sword Elder was startled, for the transition from the second to the third trial, just like before, was spatially dynamic, and these individuals had word their way out during this shift.

Frowning slightly, he swished his sleeve: "Although you’ve co out, you missed the ti to pass the second trial; entry to the third trial is prohibited."

"If soone can accept the heritage, you can be transmitted out of the Holy Sword Secret Realm with the inheritor."

Standing beside him, Liu Yu no longer had a strong desire for the third trial.

After the second trial, he knew well enough that forcing his way into the third would be suicide.

So Liu Yu, taking a few surviving subordinates, found a pavilion to rest.

Xia Feng’s expression turned even more nuanced, as he looked at the glistening mountain, his cautiousness heightened to the maximum.

Holy Sword Elder scanned those below before explaining about the mountain.

"The third trial is quite simple; all you have to do is climb the Celestial Sword Mountain."

Xia Feng vaguely felt that the Celestial Sword Mountain bore so resemblance to the Holy Sword Mountain beneath the Holy Sword Pavilion, wondering if it involved so special thod.

The Holy Sword Elder’s gaze sharpened slightly as he emphasized: "Celestial Sword Mountain consists of 99 steps, each representing a Sword World, with sword intent increasing geotrically. The further you ascend, the harder it becos."

"All inheritors must be very cautious."
