Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Zhang Ling was mesmerized for a moment.

"Who are you?" Zhang Ling asked.

The woman smiled and said, "I am the guardian of Tianwaitian. You can call me Bai Su."

Zhang Ling's heart was moved. The guardian of Tianwaitian? Could it be that she knew the whereabouts of Xuanyuan Sword?

"Miss Bai Su, do you know where the Xuan-Yuan Sword is?" Zhang Ling asked hurriedly.

Bai Su nodded and said, "I know. The Xuanyuan Sword is in the center of Tianwai Tian."

Zhang Ling was delighted and asked quickly, "Then how can we reach the center of Tianwaitian?"

Bai Su said: "You need to pass many tests."

Zhang Ling's heart sank. Many tests?

"What test?" Zhang Ling asked.

Bai Su smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll tell you when you pass the first level."

Zhang Ling's heart was full of curiosity and anticipation.

He couldn't wait to start the challenge.

"What is the first level?" Zhang Ling asked.

Bai Su pointed to a high mountain in the distance and said, "Climb up that mountain."

Zhang Ling looked up and saw the mountain towering into the clouds, shrouded in mist, as if connecting heaven and earth.

He was secretly surprised. This first level didn't look easy.

"What? You don't dare to challenge?" Bai Su looked at Zhang Ling with a smile.

Zhang Ling felt a strong desire to not admit defeat and said, "Who said I don't dare? I'll go right away!"

After saying that, he took big strides and walked towards the mountains.

Bai Su looked at Zhang Ling's back with a meaningful smile on her lips.

......

Zhang Ling climbed up the mountain road. The road was rugged and rocky, and he had a very hard time walking.

Moreover, as he climbed higher, the temperature on the mountain became lower and the biting cold wind made him shiver.

He felt his strength was rapidly depleting and breathing was becoming increasingly difficult.

He didn't know how long he had been climbing, nor how far he had to go to reach the top of the mountain.

He only knew that he couldn't give up!

He must climb this mountain, find the Xuanyuan Sword, and become an emperor!

Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly saw a cave appear in front of him.

He was delighted. Could this be the top of the mountain?

He quickened his pace and ran towards the cave.

When he came to the entrance of the cave, he was stunned by the scene before him.

There is actually a hot spring in the cave!

The hot spring mist is lingering, exuding a faint fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Next to the hot spring, there was a woman sitting.

The woman had her back to him, her long hair like a waterfall, her skin whiter than snow, and her figure graceful.

Zhang Ling was so fascinated by the scene that he even forgot to breathe.

Zhang Ling's heart trembled. Yama? Wasn't he pierced through the heart by that dagger? Could the Book of Life and Death have the power to bring the dead back to life? Impossible. Elder Tianji said that the Book of Life and Death only records life and death, not controls it.

Yan Luo smiled sinisterly, as if he was a demon crawling out of the depths of hell, with a chilling coldness. "Do you think you can kill me with just a dagger? I am the King of Hell who rules the underworld! Life and death are all controlled by me!"

Zhang Ling clenched the golden key in his hand and forced himself to calm down. The Book of Life and Death cannot control life and death, so there is only one explanation for the resurrection of Yan Luo - he is not the real Yan Luo, or in other words, not the complete Yan Luo. Perhaps, he is just a puppet with some of Yan Luo's power, or the product of some evil magic.

"Playing tricks!" Zhang Ling snorted coldly, "If you are really Yama, why don't you dare to show your true face to others?"

The smile on Yan Luo's face froze for a moment, then became even more ferocious. "You sharp-tongued brat! When I catch you, I will cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs!"

After saying that, Yan Luo flashed and pounced on Zhang Ling like a ghost. His speed was much faster than the previous fight in the cave. Zhang Ling was secretly shocked and quickly dodged.

Yan Luo's attack missed, but he was not discouraged, but became more excited. "You have some skills! It seems that I have to show my real skills!"

Before he finished speaking, a black sword suddenly appeared in Yan Luo's hand. The sword exuded a cold aura that made people shudder.

Zhang Ling did not dare to be careless, and quickly held the golden key across his chest. He did not know what other functions this key had besides opening the Heaven Beyond Heaven, but at this moment he could only try his best.

"Qiang!"

The black sword and the golden key collided with each other, making a sharp metal collision sound. A powerful force came, which made Zhang Ling's palm numb, and the golden key in his hand almost slipped out.

"What a powerful force!" Zhang Ling was secretly shocked. The strength of this Yan Luo was far beyond his imagination.

Yan Luo's eyes flashed with surprise. He obviously didn't expect that this seemingly ordinary golden key could actually block his attack. "What is this?"

Zhang Ling did not answer. While Yan Luo was stunned, he quickly took a few steps back and kept some distance.

"Boy, you can't escape!" Yan Luo roared and swung his sword again.

This time, Yan Luo's attack was even more fierce and deadly. Zhang Ling could only barely parry and had no chance to fight back.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

The sound of metal colliding continued, sparks flew everywhere, and Zhang Ling felt his arms becoming more and more numb, and his breathing became more rapid.

"No, I will definitely lose if this goes on!" Zhang Ling was anxious and had to find a way to turn the situation around.

He suddenly had an idea and remembered the dagger that Old Man Tianji gave him. That dagger was a sharp weapon that could even hurt Yama!

Thinking of this, Zhang Ling no longer hesitated. He took out the dagger with his left hand, while still holding the golden key tightly in his right hand.

"Boy, just use any tricks you have!" Yan Luo sneered, and the black sword in his hand turned into a black shadow and pierced Zhang Ling's throat.

At the critical moment, Zhang Ling threw the dagger out fiercely.

"Whoosh!"

The dagger cut through the air, carrying a sharp murderous aura, and went straight to Yan Luo's face.

Yan Luo didn't expect Zhang Ling to have this trick. Caught off guard, he could only quickly dodge to the side.

"laugh!"

The dagger flew past Yan Luo's cheek, leaving a shallow blood mark on his face.

"what!"

Yan Luo roared angrily, his eyes full of murderous intent. "Boy, how dare you hurt me!"

Zhang Ling took advantage of the moment when Yan Luo was distracted, swung the golden key violently, and hit Yan Luo hard in the chest.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, Yan Luo was knocked backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough..."

Yan Luo struggled to get up, coughing up blood. His face was pale and his breathing was disordered, obviously he was seriously injured.

Zhang Ling was delighted when he saw this, and immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue. He raised the golden key and threw it at Yan Luo again.

"stop!"

Just then, a clear voice suddenly rang out.

Zhang Ling suddenly stopped and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a woman in white standing at the entrance of the cave.

The woman had a stunningly beautiful appearance and an extraordinary temperament, like a fairy from heaven.

Zhang Ling was shocked. Who is this woman? Why is she here?

"Who are you?" Zhang Ling asked vigilantly.

The woman smiled and said, "I'm here to save you."

"Save me?" Zhang Ling was even more confused.

The woman nodded and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm not a bad person. I'm here on orders to take you to the outer world."

"Heaven beyond Heaven?" Zhang Ling's heart moved. Could it be that this woman knew the secret of Heaven beyond Heaven?

The woman nodded again and said, "That's right. I am a messenger from the outer world, and I have been ordered to come and take you."

Zhang Ling's heart was full of doubts, but he also had a faint sense of anticipation.

Could it be that he could really go to Tianwai Tian, ​​find the Xuanyuan Sword, and become an emperor?

Zhang Ling's heart trembled. Yan Luo's speed was so fast that he was in front of him in the blink of an eye. The fear of death enveloped him again. Was he destined to die here today? He was unwilling to accept this. He had not yet found the Xuanyuan Sword, had not yet taken revenge, had not yet...

"Go to hell!" Yan Luo had a ferocious smile on his face, and his black claws went straight for Zhang Ling's throat.

At the critical moment, Zhang Ling instinctively raised the golden key in his hand to resist.

"Dang!" With the sound of metal clashing, Yan Luo's sharp claws were actually blocked!

Zhang Ling was delighted, this golden key was indeed not an ordinary thing!

Yan Luo was also stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the key to be so hard. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he swung his claws at Zhang Ling again.

This time, Zhang Ling did not passively defend. He waved the golden key and took the initiative to attack Yan Luo.

The golden key drew golden rays of light in the air, like a flying golden dragon, with an imposing aura.

Yan Luo was caught off guard by this sudden attack and retreated repeatedly.

"What is this?" Yan Luo asked in surprise and doubt.

Zhang Ling did not answer. He continued to wave the golden key and launched a fierce attack on Yan Luo.

Although Yan Luo was immortal, his power was limited. Under the attack of the golden key, he gradually lost the upper hand.

"Damn it!" Yan Luo roared, and a black gas suddenly emerged from his body.

The black gas spread rapidly, covering the entire cave.

"Not good!" Zhang Ling cried out in his heart. The black air made him feel a little nervous.

He quickly stepped back, trying to avoid the black air.

But the black gas was extremely fast and surrounded him in an instant.

"Ah!" Zhang Ling let out a scream. He felt as if his body was being pierced by countless needles. The pain was unbearable.

The golden key in his hand also fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Yan Luo laughed triumphantly: "Haha! Do you think you can escape? In my domain, you will only die!"

After saying that, Yan Luo pounced on Zhang Ling again.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

The golden key that fell to the ground suddenly emitted a dazzling light.

The light grew brighter and brighter, eventually illuminating the entire cave.

"What's going on?" Yan Luo was startled by the sudden light and quickly stopped attacking.

In the light, the golden key slowly rose and hovered in the air.

Then, the key began to transform and gradually turned into a golden dragon.

The golden dragon let out a deafening roar and then pounced towards Yan Luo.

"Ah!" Yan Luo let out a scream and was swallowed by the golden dragon.

The golden dragon circled in the air for several circles, then turned into a golden light and shot into Zhang Ling's body.

Zhang Ling felt a powerful force surging into his body, filling him with strength.

His injuries healed instantly.

"This is..." Zhang Ling was filled with shock.

He felt as if he had been reborn.

He picked up the Book of Life and Death and the dagger on the ground, then walked out of the cave.

Outside the cave, the sun is shining brightly.

Zhang Ling took a deep breath and felt like he was reborn.

"Yan Luo, just wait, I will definitely kill you and avenge my parents!" Zhang Ling swore secretly in his heart.
