Wang Dong didn't expect that Yang Lei would actually have five identity tokens in his hand. This was definitely a blessing in disguise for him.
As Junior Brother Sixth said, his token was indeed among the pile of tokens. It seemed that he was not robbed of the token by Yang Lei, but actively contributed it.
Unexpectedly, the combination of Sixth Junior Brother and Yang Lei turned out to be very fruitful. Wang Dong collected all these tokens in his pocket. Adding the four pieces he plundered and his own piece, he actually had ten tokens.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy to advance. Now I only need to go to the Blade Temple and hand in the token to teleport out of the Blade Secret Realm and qualify for promotion!" Wang Dong stood up and said to himself eagerly.
After saying that, Wang Dong went to the cave entrance where Yang Lei and the sixth junior brother were entrenched to investigate. This cave entrance was said by the sixth junior brother to be a so-called treasure place. However, when Wang Dong found out that Yang Lei ran out of it, he started to be jealous of the sixth junior brother. suspicion.
Now that I think about it, all the weird behaviors of the sixth junior brother can be easily explained. The sixth junior brother called him by his name in a louder tone, just to inform Yang Lei in the cave of his arrival.
After Yang Lei came out, the sixth junior brother calmly talked about the treasure land. Yang Lei's reaction was also very fast. He immediately took advantage of the plan and cooperated with the sixth junior brother to help him complete the lies about the treasure land.
If Yang Lei hadn't called out Sixth Junior Brother's name when he was about to be defeated, Wang Dong wouldn't have been able to guarantee that he wouldn't have been deceived by Sixth Junior Brother's clever deception. When he thought about what he would have done with Yang Lei if he had believed Sixth Junior Brother's words, Wang Dong was frightened when he was sneak attacked by him during the confrontation.
Fortunately, the sixth junior brother believed too much in Yang Lei's strength and missed the best opportunity to take action. Otherwise, his body would be lying on the ground now.
Although Yang Lei and Sixth Junior Brother aimed to kill themselves, Wang Dong did not kill these two people after he learned how to destroy the token to kill people. For these two people, the feeling of life being worse than death was more terrifying than death. Although they were alive, their lives were ruined by Wang Dong. If there were no adventures, these two people would live as useless people for the rest of their lives.
Wang Dong left the lives of these two people for another purpose, which was to let Zhang Qing see the miserable condition of these two people after the competition was over. Wang Dong wanted to remind Zhang Qing that if he dared to plot against himself, this was End!
Entering the stone cave where the two of them were entrenched, Wang Dong looked around. The entrance to the cave was just like what he had imagined. It had no characteristics and had nothing to do with the so-called treasure land. The depth of this cave is only ten feet, which is more than enough for the two of them to stay in. Other than that, it has no other use.
Wang Dong walked out of the cave and looked up at the Blade Temple in the distance. These days of running all the way, Wang Dong almost always took the route away from the Blade Temple. Despite this, the Blade Temple was still very clear in Wang Dong's field of vision. , there was no change in size, which made Wang Dong feel amazing.
"It's time to go to the Blade Temple." Wang Dong whispered to himself. After saying that, he picked up the broken sword and walked towards the Blade Temple.
Wang Dong was overwhelmed by the visual magic of the Blade Temple. After running around for a long time, he discovered that the Blade Temple looked close in front of him, but when he walked it felt like it was far away. The size of the temple was in Wang Dong's opinion. Nothing changes in the field of vision.
"What should we do?" In this way, Wang Dong couldn't even judge the distance between himself and the temple through observation, and there was no way to calculate the time when he would arrive at the temple. Wang Dong had no choice but to bite the bullet. Running towards the Blade Temple, Wang Dong no longer cared about when he would arrive.
For three consecutive days, Wang Dong was heading towards the Blade Temple, rushing day and night. Except for the time when the Blade Stone Rain came, he would hide in the Blade Domain space to practice, he hardly wasted even a little bit. Time to rush.
Even so, looking at the Blade Temple, which had not changed at all in his field of vision, Wang Dong only felt a sense of powerlessness that was close to despair.
"When will it end?" After another three days, Wang Dong had long been numb to the Blade Temple in his field of vision. It was like a quiet scene on the sky in the distance, hanging forever on the horizon without any trace of it. The changes ruthlessly tortured Wang Dong's nerves.
It was another two days, and Wang Dong still felt that the Blade Temple was out of reach, but to Wang Dong's relief, he robbed an eighth-level female disciple of Xiuyu Hall who broke into his field of vision in the past two days and plundered her body Get two identity tokens, increasing the number of tokens in his hand to twelve.
Early in the morning on the ninth day, Wang Dong, who had just come out after avoiding the rain of blades and stones in the Sword Domain space, saw the magnificent temple hanging above his head, and Wang Dong suddenly laughed excitedly.
"It's not easy!" Wang Dong sighed and carefully looked at the magnificent temple in front of him. Only then did Wang Dong understand why this temple gave people a feeling of being out of reach.
It turns out that the Blade Temple is actually built on a huge blade stone suspended in the sky. The blade stone floats high in the sky, sending the Blade Temple up to the sky, making the temple like the sun visible to all people in the Blade Secret Realm. It gives people a feeling of being out of reach.
Some blade stones suspended in mid-air form the stairs to enter the temple, which extend from the blade temple to the ground, so that people can climb these suspended stairs and finally enter the blade temple.
Wang Dong noticed that each of the blade stones that made up the stairs had the sharp side facing upwards. The consequences of stepping on them could be imagined. This undoubtedly added a new test for the contestants.
With success in sight, Wang Dong held the broken sword and walked towards the steps of the temple. As he got closer, Wang Dong realized that every step in the temple was huge. Standing in front of the first step, he looked at the sharp upper steps of the steps. Wang Dong began to think about how to climb these stairs.
"Look, another fool is here to hand over the token!"
Before Wang Dong could decide how to climb, he heard a sharp voice shouting. Wang Dong was suddenly startled, and quickly clenched the broken knife in his hand, paying careful attention to his surroundings.
Only then did Wang Dong notice that the side of the first step was covered with caves of various sizes, and the sharp sound came from one of the caves. Wang Dong didn't take a closer look. He made a rough estimate and found that there were at least twenty or thirty caves.
As the sharp sound fell, contestants suddenly emerged from the caves. They jumped out of their caves and quickly surrounded Wang Dong. Wang Dong took a look and saw that these contestants were wearing various military uniforms and were actually disciples of the thirteen sects gathered together.
The contestant with the sharp voice was wearing a green shirt and was a disciple of the Zhuhai Gang. He walked up to Wang Dong and looked at Wang Dong with a playful look on his face: "Boy, how many tokens have you collected?"
Wang Dong's face suddenly turned cold when he heard this. He clenched the scimitar in his hand and looked at the people around him warily. He didn't expect that in the last step of success, he would meet so many contestants. Most of these contestants were eighth-level martial arts disciples. With his cultivation level, if they swarmed up, Wang Dong wouldn't be able to fight back at all.
When the Zhuhai Gang disciple with a sharp voice saw Wang Dong's cold face and did not respond to him, Gu Zi burst into laughter, and people from other sects around him actually laughed together with him.
"Boy, do you think I'm going to steal your token, senior brother?" The Zhuhai Gang disciple looked at Wang Dong with a joking look on his face. He took off a cloth bag from his waist and grabbed the contents inside. He waved it in front of Wang Dong's eyes: "We don't lack this token."
Wang Dong noticed that what this Zhuhai Gang disciple grabbed was a handful of tokens. Judging by the number, there were at least a dozen, enough to enter the Blade Temple and advance to the preliminary round.
Seeing that Wang Dong still had no reaction, the Zhuhai Gang disciple continued: "Actually, the tokens of everyone present have been snatched away by others. People who have lost their tokens gather together and plunder together. This is in the Blade Secret Territory It’s a very common thing, it’s just that our team is bigger than everyone else’s.”
Wang Dong stared at the other party nervously, fearing that he would get violent and control himself during the gap between the other party's words.
"After we got together, in order to plunder more tokens, we came up with this method..."
The disciple of the Zhuhai Gang curled his lips and said: "We have a large number of people, and we are not afraid even if the mace comes, so we wait and wait at the steps of the Blade Temple, because anyone who collects enough ten tokens The contestants will all come here. We just need to grab what is delivered to our door... "
Hearing the words of the Zhuhai Gang disciple, Wang Dong's face turned ugly. Now, he had become the prey that was sent to him.
"It wasn't until the day before yesterday that we waited for a Wuhu Gang disciple who came to deliver the token..." The Zhuhai Gang disciple shook the token package in his hand, shook his head and said, "You know, the Wuhu Gang disciples practice The speed technique, that guy has a perfect eighth-level martial arts cultivation level, but none of us could catch up with him, and he got up the stairs first."
When Wang Dong heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and didn't catch up with the other party. So how did he get the token in his hand
"We didn't chase after the other party when they got up the steps..." The disciples of the Zhuhai Gang smiled meaningfully and said to Wang Dong: "Sure enough, that night, with the arrival of the 'Blade Stone Rain', the Wuhu Gang The disciple's body also fell from the height of the stairs... Only then did I have these dozen tokens in my hand!"
"What did you say?" After hearing the last words of the Zhuhai Gang disciple, Wang Dong's face suddenly showed a look of horror. The Wuhu Gang disciple actually fell from the steps and fell to his death. This made the Zhuhai Gang disciple The disciple picked up a pack of tokens for nothing!
"With our current level of cultivation, the stairs of the Blade Temple are simply insurmountable! This ladder is hundreds of thousands of feet high. It is simply impossible to reach the top in one day. Moreover, the higher the stairs go, the higher they get. It was small, and in the end it was even too small to accommodate two feet at the same time... "
The disciple of the Zhuhai Gang said with a horrified look: "Although the disciple of the Wuhu Gang has good cultivation, because there is no place to stay in the high altitude, and there is no blade stone big enough to dig caves, he was killed by the blade stone." The rain hit me hard, and I ended up tragically dying in the Secret Realm.”
The words of the disciples of the Zhuhai Gang immediately made Wang Dong understand. The stairs of the temple were indeed a test in the Blade Secret Realm. The dozens of people present clearly had enough tokens to advance, but no one could climb the stairs. , enter the temple.
"So this junior brother of Guihai Sect, I advise you not to waste your efforts. Rather than go up and die, you might as well wait for the end of the competition with us here..."
Seeing that the Zhuhai Gang disciple not only had no idea of plundering his token, but also began to persuade him earnestly, Wang Dong still ignored him, but the expression on his face became richer.
Wang Dong felt a wave of ecstasy welling up in his heart - the steps of the temple were tailor-made for him. The blade stone rain that others feared the most was not a threat at all in his eyes, because he had the sword domain space that no one else had. The life-saving weapon, combined with the sword domain space, will not be a problem even if you stay on the steps for a year!
"Brother from the Zhuhai Gang, I appreciate your kindness, but I still have to give it a try..." With a decision in his heart, Wang Dong slightly curved his lips.
"I won't shed tears until I see the coffin!" The Zhuhai Gang disciple shook his head and sighed.
