“Could she be the biggest dark horse?”

To easily reach the 9,000th step, even if she hasn’t reached the Five-striped Realm, she must be close.

Outside the Tianti Road, Wu Gang frowned. He knew Jian Yiyi had already achieved Five-striped cultivation, so her performance wasn’t surprising. But that white-clothed woman…

“Could her cultivation rank actually be higher than Yiyi’s?”

For ordinary cultivators, reaching the Three-striped level is their limit. It is impossible to go beyond this stage without a solid background supporting them.

The performance of the white-clothed woman quickly caught the attention of various Sects. They began discussing her identity, trying to find out who she was.

However, nobody knew who she was, and even though she mentioned being one of the Loose Cultivators, it was odd that such a strong figure within Tianchuan State had no fame.

MO Ziya narrowed his eyes, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

“Could it be…” mum:

On the Tianti Road, feeling the aura of someone catching up from behind, Jian Yiyi looked back and saw the white-clothed woman closely following.

She grinned, “I knew you were no ordinary person.”

The white-clothed woman glanced at her and didn’t take it to heart, instead looking ahead at Qin Changqing.

Qin Changqing paid no attention to the two of them, his gaze fixed on the top of the Tianti Road. He seemed to have settled down, stepping forward like a pilgrim.

“Together?” Jian Yiyi asked.

Without answering, the white-clothed woman slowed her pace to walk side by side with Jian Yiyi.

“I’m Jian Yiyi from Wanjian Pavilion, and you?”

“Lingsu,” the white-clothed woman replied, “A Loose Cultivator.” “A Loose Cultivator? With your strength, you haven’t joined a Sect?”

Lingsu didn’t respond.

“How about considering joining Wanjian Pavilion?”

Lingsu still didn’t say anything.

“Do you want to go to Lingxiao Sect?”

Lingsu glanced at her and quickened her pace.

Jian Yiyi’s expression suddenly changed. Swinging her longsword, she launched an attack at Lingsu.

Ding! !

Lingsu hastily counterattacked, blocking the move. Frowning, she said, “What are you doing?”

“Fighting, of course!”

Jian Yiyi continued attacking, her Sword Intent extremely strong, forcing Lingsu to focus on defense.

The sudden fight between the two confused the others. Logically, with all three having a lead, no one should take action first.

After all, if any two people started fighting, the third would be the only one to benefit.

“As expected, they’re both Five-striped. Compared to the past, this year’s Tianti Road is truly astonishing.”

“Not only are they much stronger, but there are also more strange events. Who would have thought that the person in the lead is a Tier 6 Golden Elixir… Oh wait, he has already reached Tier 9 Golden Elixir.”

“Elder Wu, your disciple Jian Yiyi seems a bit hot-tempered. Taking action at this time could be detrimental to her future progress.”

In the crowd, Wu Gang remained silent and exchanged a glance with MO Ziya.

As the leading Sect in Tianchuan State, Wanjian Pavilion and Taiyi Academy’s relationship wasn’t that simple.

Taiyi Academy didn’t participate in Tianti Road directly, but it didn’t mean they wouldn’t interfere. Wu Gang anticipated Jian Yiyi taking action.

The confrontation between the two Five-striped powerhouses had become the most attractive sight on Tianti Road. Jian Yiyi attacked repeatedly, but Lingsu didn’t seem to intend to fight seriously. They fought while advancing, following Qin Changqing’s steps and continuing toward the top of Tianti Road.

At first glance, one would think they were putting on an act while competing to reach the top. Qin Changqing, they’re performing for you!

However, in reality, whether Lingsu acted or not, Jian Yiyi swore she didn’t.

She truly wanted to force Lingsu to use her full strength. However, as time went on, she quickly realized that Lingsu was much stronger than she had expected. When the power difference between two opponents isn’t large, they can fight fiercely. If one person held an overwhelming advantage, they would have the right to choose.

Jian Yiyi was feeling this now.

No matter what moves she used to attack, Lingsu seemed to handle them effortlessly and had plenty of room to spare. She inwardly panicked, knowing she couldn’t go on like this, so she activated her swordsmanship and struck out with all her might.

This strike, incorporating all of Jian Yiyi’s cultivated Sword Intent, could be considered the most extraordinary hit so far on Tianti Road.

Lingsu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and with a wave of her delicate hand, her sword shot out, its body surrounded by circles of sky-blue ripples.

Boom!!

With a loud explosion, Jian Yiyi was thrown back, only stabilizing herself after retreating a dozen steps onto the ground.

In contrast, Lingsu’s breath was steady, showing no signs of discomfort.

“Jian Yiyi actually lost?!”

On Tianti Road, Qingning and the other onlookers were astonished.

They never expected that Jian Yiyi, who was ranked first on the Outstanding Talents List, would be defeated so easily.

“Who exactly is that person?!” The crowd’s gaze focused on the white-clothed figure who continued to climb.

With Jian Yiyi defeated and unable to pursue, Lingsu followed closely behind Qin Changqing.

Both of them were moving at a fast pace, seemingly unaffected by the pressure of Tianti Road, which perplexed MO Ziya and the others present. Lingsu and Jian Yiyi were clearly on the same level of cultivation, but the former’s displayed combat power was simply too extraordinary.

Logically speaking, Jian Yiyi was also one of Wanjian Pavilion’s favored talents. With her powerful abilities combined with her highly developed Sword Intent, she was rarely matched within the same realm.

Even if someone were stronger, they shouldn’t be able to completely dominate her.

This confusion turned into anticipation as Qin Changqing and Lingsu both halted and faced each other.

“They’ve finally faced off!”

“A showdown at the final ten layers of Tianti Road!”

“Heavens, can they both really qualify for the peak?”

“Hard to say, but no one has ever reached the top in the previous Tianti Roads.

Could two appear at once?”

“Regardless, I just want to know which of them is stronger.”

At this moment, whether those on the Tianti Road or those watching from afar, all eyes were focused on the top of Tianti Road.

“Hmm?”

At the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety layer.

Qin Changqing turned his head and looked at the white-clothed woman who had suddenly appeared, a puzzled expression on his face.

“May I know the lady’s name?”

“Lingsu. ”

“Ah, Miss Lingsu.” Qin Changqing smiled, “Are you looking for a Taoist Couple?”

Everyone:

You damn, she came here to fight you, and you asked such nonsense?!

“Not looking.”

“Then what is Miss here for…

“To kill you!”

Lingsu waved her sword, attacking Qin Changqing without any hesitation!

“To kill you!”

As Lingsu’s voice fell, the terrifying onslaught followed.

Most people didn’t expect that Lingsu would choose to fight at this time.

After all, they were only ten layers away from reaching the summit of the nine thousand nine hundred and ninety layers of Tianti Road. Why would she waste her energy fighting instead of focusing on climbing?

Do they think there’s no pressure from the will on Tianti Road?!

However, the moment Lingsu made her move, the onlookers outside were shocked because her displayed strength was much greater than when she fought with Jian Yiyi. It felt like she wasn’t suppressed by Tianti Road at all!

“Is she unaffected by Tianti Road?”

This question appeared in everyone’s minds.

Jian Yiyi realized that Lingsu had not been serious in their fight just now.

However, Jian Yiyi could tell that Lingsu’s current sword attack was at the Tier 5 Golden Elixir level, which she was confident she could handle if it weren’t for the pressure of Tianti Road.

But how could someone with the same realm as her display such strong power?

Did the suppression from Tianti Road really not exist?
