Chapter 87: shocking

Wang Jian had an extremely easy journey so far, and coupled with his strong self-confidence, he had been dormant for four years, all for today. He not only wanted to complete the Zhan Tian Sword as the first, but also to surpass Fang Yuxuan's previous record. Therefore, he disdained to look back at others and was unaware of Jiang Yun's sudden appearance.

Wei Zhengyang's transmitted message made his body tremble slightly, not from shock that Wei Zhengyang told him to kill, but from shock that someone could still catch up to him.

However, he still did not look back, because at this moment, he dared not be distracted in the slightest. In this last ten percent of the Zhan Tian Sword, not only had the number of Sword Qi and Sword Intent reached a terrifying level, but the Sword Intent here could also materialize!

Sword Qi can materialize, and formless, intangible Sword Intent, when powerful enough, can also materialize!

Although he did not know which Sword Intent would materialize, Wang Jian was on high alert, taking every step cautiously, as if treading on thin ice.

Just as Wang Jian stepped into the last ten percent of the Zhan Tian Sword, Jiang Yun had also completed six thousand zhang of the Zhan Tian Sword within a short quarter of an hour, catching up from the last position to fifth place.

Ahead of him were only four people: Wang Jian, Huo Yuan, and two Outer Sect Disciples.

Jiang Yun, however, had no idea how astonishing his performance was in the eyes of the spectators, but at this moment, his speed had to slow down.

Because previously, for every thousand zhang traveled, although the Sword Qi and Sword Intent would increase, it was at least gradual. But after six thousand zhang, their quantity suddenly doubled compared to five thousand zhang.

Dense Sword Qi was like raindrops in a downpour, striking his Physical Body with a crackling sound, adding some resistance to his progress.

Fortunately, his internal Thunder Net could still easily block the equally surging Sword Intent.

Although Jiang Yun's speed of progress did indeed slow down, that was relative to his own previous speed; compared to others, he was still much faster.

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

These three apparently had not noticed Jiang Yun, especially the two Outer Sect Disciples who were lagging behind, still panting and talking.

"Old Luo, aren't you going to use your full strength yet?"

"Hehe, aren't you still holding back too?"

"Hmm, then when the last quarter of an hour arrives, we'll give everyone a big surprise!"

"Haha, good..."

Their voices suddenly stopped abruptly, because beside them, Jiang Yun had already taken large strides and easily surpassed them.

"This is impossible!"

Both of them simultaneously widened their eyes, staring intently at Jiang Yun's gradually receding back. After they both came to their senses and looked at each other, without needing to speak, a yellow light suddenly erupted from one's body, while the other took out a shimmering Medicinal Pill and swallowed it.

Evidently, Jiang Yun's unexpected appearance greatly stimulated them, making them abandon their plan to wait until the last moment and forcing them to reveal their hidden final trump cards at this time.

Unfortunately, although their speed of progress was indeed a bit faster than before, they were getting further and further away from Jiang Yun...

At this moment, Huo Yuan was almost crawling forward at a snail's pace.

Even if the Ice Soul Sword in his hand was miraculous, it still required Spiritual Qi to control, and with his cultivation of Tongmai Realm sixth level, coupled with the countless Medicinal Pills for replenishment, he had truly reached the end of his rope and could no longer continue.

Looking at the nearly three thousand zhang remaining ahead, although Huo Yuan felt unwilling, a proud smile appeared on his face as he panted, "Although I didn't succeed in breaking through, second place is enough to be proud of, especially among all newly initiated Disciples, no one can surpass me except Wu Shang."

As he said this, a sudden inexplicable unease appeared in Huo Yuan's heart, and a pair of fierce eyes flashed in his mind, making him shiver. He quickly shook his head, trying hard to shake off the owner of those eyes.

"That savage is just a bit strong, and there's no Body Cultivator Peak among the Five Peaks for him to challenge, so there's no need to worry about him. He and I are, after all, not on the same level!"

Because after the re-evaluation competition, Zheng Yuan had been in seclusion and only came out yesterday, so he was completely unaware of the battle between Jiang Yun and Zheng Yuan!

Although he comforted himself verbally, for some reason, the unease in Huo Yuan's heart grew stronger and stronger, until he finally couldn't resist turning his head abruptly to look behind him.

Huo Yuan saw a pair of eyes that did not emit fierce light, but which he would never forget.

And the owner of these eyes didn't even look at him, staring straight ahead, striding away at a speed that, in Huo Yuan's opinion, was completely inconceivable.

"Jiang Yun!"

It wasn't until the other person's figure had completely disappeared from his sight that Huo Yuan suddenly let out an extremely shrill howl, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out as he looked up at the sky.

"Puff, puff, puff!"

The next moment, countless Sword Qi struck him, directly knocking him out of the Zhan Tian Sword.

With Huo Yuan's fall, Jiang Yun's ranking had climbed to second, having advanced eight thousand zhang, and he was even less than a thousand zhang away from the first-place Wang Jian.

At this moment, Wen Dao Sect was completely silent, and even the breathing of Dongfang Bo and the other two couldn't help but become rapid.

Because the impact Jiang Yun brought them was simply too great.

Three hours to complete the entire Zhan Tian Sword's nearly ten thousand zhang length had stumped countless Disciples pursuing the Dao of the Sword. Therefore, when Fang Yuxuan achieved this in two hours, even Xuanyuan Xing had to admit that Fang Yuxuan indeed had extraordinary talent in the Dao of the Sword.

But now, Jiang Yun had only used less than half an hour to complete more than eight thousand zhang. If he could maintain this speed and ultimately complete the entire Zhan Tian Sword, then the record he set would not only leave Fang Yuxuan far behind but also create an unprecedented miracle.

Amidst everyone's shock and anticipation, Jiang Yun finally crossed the nine thousand zhang mark, and three hundred zhang ahead of him was Wang Jian.

At this moment, less than two quarters of an hour remained until the end of the peak challenge!

And it was at this moment that a voice filled with doubt suddenly came from the crowd: "Jiang Yun, isn't he a Dual Cultivation of both techniques and Physical Body? Is he also a Sword Cultivator?"

The sound of this question startled everyone again, because they suddenly realized that they had been overlooking a problem.

Sword Dao Peak was prepared for Sword Cultivators, and all the Disciples on it, no matter how far they walked, would have a sword in their hands.

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

"Could it be that he relied solely on the strength of his Physical Body to break through until now? But even if his Physical Body could block Sword Qi, how could he resist the formless Sword Intent?"

"Look, Jiang Yun is making his move!"
