ed.Only to see Xu Xiangqian walk in front of Jiang Wang. Unlike everyone else, he didn't offer anything, just said: "I always live for the present, drinking today's wine and not worrying about tomorro...The Sharp Peak is truly as its name suggests, like a brush standing upright, straight towards the sky, and incredibly steep.

The path up the mountain was a single, rudimentary trail. Standing at the foot of the mountain, one could easily imagine the hardship Sancheng's cultivators endured in forging this road.

Especially at that time, there were ferocious beasts everywhere in the mountains.

Every step must be paved with blood, every level a descent into the abyss of souls.

And the flesh and blood of the dead formed steps, the souls of the departed protecting the living. Those who lived struggled and finally ascended this mountain, wiping out the ferocious beasts.

After two years, a new beast roams here, and new cleaners appear.

>

As for ferocious beasts, Jiang Wang was no stranger, but this was his first time coming to such a legendary beast's lair.

Because of the generous rewards, many cultivators came to Sanshan City. However, most chose to follow the large force from Sanshan City to clear out Yuheng Peak.

Only a handful of teams chose to climb the vertical peak.

And Li Jianqiu set off with his people early in the morning, so there were no fellow travelers on the way.

A group of people, led by Li Jianqiu, were climbing up the mountain. The first half of the journey was safe, with only occasional scattered animal bones to be seen besides.

The mountain path winds its way up around the peak, with sheer cliffs on one side and precipices on the other. Occasionally, eerie howls echo through the valley, sending shivers down your spine.

"Be careful!" Li Jianqiu suddenly spoke out a warning, but didn't move.

Suddenly, a snake-like beast surged from the cliff edge. It was more than just a serpent; it was covered in scales that matched the color of the rocks. This camouflage made it nearly impossible to spot when it remained motionless.

Jiang Wang unsheathed his long sword first. The first move of the Ziqi Donglai Sword Technique, a killing technique, struck precisely as the serpentine beast opened its massive jaws. With a single stroke, his sword cut down its tail.

The other hand, no idle either, slipped a flaming grenade into the serpent's maw. As the serpentine beast tumbled off the precipice, its body followed the sword in rotation, returning to the mountain path gracefully.

These actions are clean and concise, without a trace of excess, leaving the viewer with a pleasing feeling.

After integrating Taoism into the combat system, Jiang Wang's combat power increased by more than just a few times.

“This ferocious beast is called the Rock Serpent. Its scales offer extremely strong defense, while its mouth and belly are its weak points.” Li Jianqiu explained as he walked forward: “Junior Brother Jiang handled it very well. If the beasts on top of Shuping Peak are only this strong and dense, then it seems we can reach the summit today.”

"It seems like Brother Li is very familiar with this place," Zhao Rucheng asked.

“I’ve been here.” came Li Jianqiu’s response.

He just deliberately kept his hands still, wanting to see the colors of these few people. The results were satisfactory.

Zhao Ruocheng reacted incredibly quickly, adjusting his stance instantly. If Li Jianqiu hadn't misjudged, his sword-drawing style was identical to Jiang Wang's. It seemed they both practiced the renowned superlative sword manual—the same one that allowed Jiang Wang to become the champion of the Three Cities Debate a year ago. It would be hard for anyone not to notice such a prominent technique.

Huang Ah-zhan was usually playful and cheerful, but he also completed his magical preparations in a very short time.

Of course, the biggest surprise for Li Jianqiu was still Jiang Wang. He had known long ago that Jiang Wang's foundation-building would have a qualitative leap, but he didn't expect it to be so much. Jiang Wang's current strength has far surpassed what it was during the Three Cities Discourse.

Such a team, while not necessarily powerful, at least wouldn't hold anyone back.

Moving forward, there was a corner just ahead. As Li Jianqiu's figure disappeared from sight, intense fluctuations of Dao power emanated from that direction.

Jiang Wang hurried a few steps and turned around, only to see the corpse of a centipede-shaped ferocious beast, cut into several pieces, scattered there. In Li Jianqiu's hands, two flame swords burned fiercely.

“Feng Wu, it can fly,” Li Jianqiu explained, and then said faintly, “If there are too many, it’ll be a problem.”

On this narrow mountain path, it would indeed be difficult to cope if attacked by a flock of flying beasts. Thankfully, so far only one wind centipede has appeared.

With the appearance of ferocious beasts one after another, it indicates that we have entered an area where they are active. Everyone has raised their alert level.

Huang A-zhan then carefully layered various statuses onto himself, such as Stone Skin and Solid Form, throwing a plethora of Dao techniques at himself. Not only did he buff himself, but he also casually added them to Jiang Wang and Zhao Ruocheng.

Last, Li Jianqiu looked at him helplessly: "Do you think Yuan is enough"

He then stopped sullenly.

Midway up the mountain.

>

A woman's waist is graceful, a man's is strong. The waist of Mount Shuping...is dangerous.

The mountain path ends here, with no way forward. There are only jagged rocks and strangely twisted trees.

And on that tree, among the rocks, squatting or crouching, there were no less than twenty ferocious beasts. Wolf-like, snake-like, bird-like, they were all shapes, but equally terrifying in appearance and menacing in look.

The beast is devoid of intelligence, so this was naturally not an ambush. To be precise, it should be Jiang Wang and others who trespassed into their resting place.

And of course, they immediately exploded.

The nearby clusters of fresh, bloody flesh made them go mad with hunger.

Li Jianqiu held his dual flame sword, charging into the pack of ferocious beasts. The flame sword whirled and flashed, leaving a bloody mess.

Zhao Ruocheng drew his sword and darted out, slicing to the side. Unlike Li Jianqiu's reckless attacks, he kept the number of beasts facing him simultaneously to three or fewer. His sword flashed back and forth, striking vital points with every swing.

Huang A-zhan's incantation was like lightning, even as he prepared his state, Jiang Wang had noticed how fast his incantations were. At this time, firebombs flew like a string of pearls, almost howling as they surged forward.

A single-target Dao Technique of superior quality,

has been executed to achieve the effects of an AoE (Area of Effect) technique.

Jiang Wang was naturally not one to be outdone. He finished the incantation, and with a flick of his left hand, a vine precisely wrapped around the wolf-like beast before him. Then, his long sword flashed, severing the beast's head.

With one kick, he sent the wolf's corpse flying, where it collided with another tiger-like beast.

And the man, having borrowed strength to lean back, throws himself backwards, straight into a line parallel with the ground.

He was like a sword, and the blade itself was the point.

The might of the Ziqi Eastward Flowing Sword Technique rippled through the ordinary iron, causing this blade to cleave through the serpentine beast like a sharp knife cutting paper.

The serpent's corpse split in two, and Jiang Wang, with sword drawn, flew out from the splatter of blood. It was a perilous escape, not a single drop of snake blood touched him.

A hawk-like beast pounced, slamming into the air of splashing snake blood and letting out a sharp, pained screech as it was corroded.

Jiang Wang turned around, his long sword flew out of his hand and shot straight into the eagle beast's slender neck, beheading it with a single strike.

This ordinary longsword could no longer bear the weight of this level of combat, exploding in mid-air.

Jiang Wang had prepared early, reciting incantations for many hours. With a flick of his hand, he condensed a flame sword.

Not until this point did the serpent's blood fall to the ground, etching pits into the rocks.

Jiang Wang slanted his flame sword, took a step forward and charged, colliding once again with the tiger-shaped beast that had been knocked open before.

The flaming sword pierced through, but Jiang Wang's left hand seized the tiger-shaped beast by its neck and flung it aside.

This series of battles is cleverly rounded and smooth. If not for Kong Yuan's control over his own Dao Yuan, he wouldn't have been able to achieve this level.

But at this moment, Li Jianqiu had already killed two of the beasts in the horde. Almost twenty beasts were left alive, only two remained. Two Wind Centipedes.

They seemed fearless, of course, with no concept of running away. They still charged fiercely, one on each side.

Li Jianqiu sprang to his feet, two flaming swords crisscrossing in the air. The two wind centipedes were cut into four pieces and fell to the ground with him.

Zhao Rucheng had already sheathed his sword, and his demeanor showed no pressure at all.

Huang Ah-zhan...

"Li senior brother is mighty!"

It's also good that he can still flatter people actively. His state of mind should be fine.

Jiang Wang extinguished the flame sword with a trembling hand. He couldn't compare to Li Jianqiu in terms of spiritual energy, so he had to conserve it as much as possible.

Now, his Xinghe Dao Xuan generates nine Daoyuan every day. Combined with his own Chongmai cultivation, the accumulation of Daoyuan is very fast. But in this high-intensity battle, it can't last too long.

Li Jianqiu stepped over the corpse of the beast and walked forward.

Without those beasts to cover them, Jiang Wang only noticed a large stone ahead. Something was carved on the surface of the stone.
