"Brother Yuan's origins are mysterious, and his strength is also a mystery. It should be related to his origins." Yang Qi said secretly in his heart.
Yang Qi was very curious about Yuan Jiu's origins, but he never asked too many questions because it might involve Yuan Jiu's secrets. However, this did not mean that Yang Qi was not curious.
The closer they got to the cave, the more terrifying the pressure became. Even Yang Qi had to resist it with all his might. It took Yang Qi an incense stick of time to reach the sword-shaped cave, a distance of just a few hundred feet. Then the powerful pressure disappeared.
Whoosh~
A moment after Yang Qi arrived, Yuan Jiu also arrived. Although Yuan Jiu's speed was slightly faster than his, and he even shortened the distance a lot in the middle, Yang Qi still had some time advantage and arrived before Yuan Jiu.
"Brother Yuan, what a good trick!" Looking at Yuan Jiu not far away, Yang Qi said with emotion.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiu smiled and said, "You are much faster than I thought."
Yuan Jiu had seen Yang Qi fight with all his strength, and he thought he had some idea of Yang Qi's strength. However, after entering Tianhuang Palace, every time they separated for a period of time and met again, he found that Yang Qi's strength had improved a little. Even Yuan Jiu was surprised by this. After all, at their level, it was too difficult to improve their strength, but Yang Qi seemed to have no bottleneck, and his strength was still improving.
"I have made some gains before, and my strength has improved." Yang Qi said with a calm smile.
Be it the Emperor of Ten Thousand Swords, the Emperor of Illusion, or the opportunities left by the Holy Lord of Tianhuang, they have all been of great help to him. It is precisely because of this that he has his current strength.
Whoosh~
While the two were talking, a figure passed through the area shrouded by the pressure and arrived near the sword-shaped cave. It was Li Si who arrived first.
Although they arrived successfully, there was no joy on Li Si's face. After all, he arrived first, but after Yang Qi and Yuan Jiu. One can imagine how depressed he felt.
The cave seemed to have not been opened yet, so Yang Qi and the other two could only wait where they were. As time passed, the other practitioners were getting closer and closer to the cave.
Looking at Chen Jie and the others getting closer and closer, Yang Qi couldn't help but smile and said, "Although the pressure is not weak, with the strength of Brother Chen and the others, it is not difficult to resist the pressure and move. As long as it takes some time, we can reach here."
"Hmph~"
As soon as Yang Qi finished speaking, Li Si, who was not far away, snorted coldly with a hint of mockery on his face.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Jiu at the side could not help but explain, "Brother Yang, although the power of this pressure is fixed, it has a time limit. If it fails to arrive within the time limit, it will fail."
this…
Yang Qi naturally had no doubts about Yuan Jiu's words, but if that was the case, wouldn't it mean that Chen Jie and others would fail
Seeing Yang Qi was a little dazed, Yuan Jiu on the side immediately said, "Brother Yang, the opportunity has come. Whether you can seize it depends on your ability."
Hearing this, Yang Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly. He certainly understood this principle, but since Chen Jie and others had come, it would be a pity if they couldn't even enter the cave.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Chen Jie and others were suppressed by the pressure, and their speed became slower and slower. However, after a period of travel, Chen Jie and Zhao Hong arrived in front of the sword-shaped cave.
call…
Chen Jie and Zhao Hong looked at each other and a bitter smile appeared on their faces. The speed of the two was said to be far inferior to that of Yang Qi and Yuan Jiu, and even to that of Li Si.
With the arrival of Chen Jie and the other person, a cultivator also arrived from Yuan Jiu's team. In addition to the six people who had already arrived, the nearest cultivator was still nearly a thousand feet away from the cave.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
At this moment, three figures flew over from a distance. They were Lu Kun and his two companions who had received a message from Li Si.
Buzz~
When Lu Kun and the other two saw the people rushing towards the cave, they moved and were about to fly towards the cave. However, at this moment, a terrifying force surged, and the people who were rushing on the road under the pressure were immediately shaken away and left the area covered by the pressure.
"this… "
Seeing this scene, Lu Kun and the other two were slightly stunned, but in an instant they vaguely understood some of the reasons.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Although they were blown away, the other practitioners obviously did not intend to give up. They quickly rushed towards the cave, and Lu Kun and the other three also joined them.
"well… "
Looking at the people who continued to try, Yang Qi couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The cultivators closest to the cave were nearly a thousand feet away, and this thousand feet distance was the most difficult part of the road. With such a huge gap, even if they tried again, it would definitely not be successful.
Although Yang Qi knew that everyone's chances of success were slim, he did not intend to remind them. It was not because he did not want to remind them, but because he knew that even if he reminded them, they would still continue to try. The opportunity was right in front of them. Who would give up on their own initiative until the last moment, until there was no chance at all
Even if it was Yang Qi himself, he would continue to try and would not give up so easily!
However, the gap between them was too big. Even if they continued to try, the chance of success was extremely slim. In the end, in the second attempt, only Lu Kun, who had just arrived, successfully reached the cave. As for the other practitioners, they were all blown away because of the time limit.
Although Lu Kun arrived at the cave, it took him longer than Chen Jie and Zhao Hong. In fact, just moments after he arrived at the cave, the other practitioners were blown away. If he had been a step later, he would probably not have succeeded.
Chen Jie looked at Lu Kun who was not far away, and then sent a message to Yang Qi and Zhao Hong, "I didn't expect that someone on Li Si's side also succeeded."
"It doesn't matter. Even if a conflict really breaks out, we have the advantage in numbers." Zhao Hong said with a calm smile.
Their team had the most practitioners who arrived, a total of three people, not counting the two people from Yuan Jiu's side. In total, they had five people, more than twice as many as Li Si's side!
Lu Kun looked at Li Si beside him and said gratefully, "Brother Li, thank you very much!"
Originally, when Li Si sent a message to ask him to come, he didn't care much about it. However, when he arrived here, he found that the powerful sword practitioners from the three teams were all here, even powerful people like Yuan Jiu and Yang Qi were there. He knew the preciousness of this opportunity.
Of course, he knew that the reason why Li Si sent them the message was because Yang Qi was too strong and wanted them to come and share the burden. But no matter what, this opportunity was told to him by Li Si, otherwise he would not have had the chance to come.
As for helping Li Si share the pressure, Lu Kun didn't care too much, because he himself was a practitioner in Li Si's team, and was destined to be different from Yang Qi and others. (To be continued)
