Creation of the Universe

The trial has indeed begun.

Those who had reached the bottom of the valley first were heading towards the winding road ahead.

The bottom of Jianxu Valley is narrow and rugged, and there is only one direction to go ahead. After Shen Zhan and others adapted to the environment here, they quickly moved forward.

Tang Muqing looked around and found some broken swords stuck in the soil on the ground where she stood. Some of them had broken blades, some had no hilts, and some were just sword blanks that had not yet been cast.

These broken swords are all failed works of Xuanjinmen over the past decades. They have been abandoned here over the years.

Tang Muqing said: "This is definitely not the core area of ​​Jianxu."

"That's right. Judging from the number of broken swords, this is just a relatively remote location. If we look further ahead, we should be able to find where we should go."

After hearing what Shen Zhan said, Xia Wenxiu couldn't help but ask, "What will happen when we get there?"

"The most central location should be where the Xuanjinmen sword is forged. At that time, their ambitions and methods will be fully revealed to us. I just don't know how they will treat those who participate in the trial."

Shen Zhan said with some concern.

Currently, the people known to be involved in this sword forging include Wang Tonghai who holds the Jujue Sword and Baili Yu who has seized the Ruoshui Sword. Both of them are difficult to deal with, and if they appear at the same time, Shen Zhan will find it difficult to match them.

Continuing forward, Shen Zhan vaguely felt that the atmosphere around him seemed to begin to change. In addition to the evil spirit that filled the entire bottom of Jianxu Valley, he also smelled a hint of blood.

Tang Muqing also felt something was wrong. Although she did not have Shen Zhan's cultivation, she was sharp enough.

At this time she said: "There is such a strong murderous aura ahead!"

Shen Zhan solemnly reminded everyone, "There must be someone fighting ahead. If they don't initiate a fight, then we should pass through quickly and not meddle in other people's business. However, there's no guarantee that they won't attack first, so we must be prepared to strike at any time."

After hearing this, Tang Muqing, Xia Wenxiu and Dong Ping clenched their swords tightly, concentrating their attention and not daring to be careless in the slightest.

The road at the bottom of the valley is long and narrow. As long as there are two parties fighting in front, the passage behind will be blocked and there is no way to avoid it.

Shen Zhan continued to fight in the front line. Not long after he walked forward, he saw people from two sects fighting each other, but the fierce battle was about to end, and one of the sides was almost wiped out.

"You, the younger generation of the Wanxiang Sect, are only capable of this. It looks like you will all die here today. From now on, the Wanxiang Sect will gradually disappear from this world."

"Remember well, the one who killed you was Yan Sen from the Thunder Hall. If you are not willing to accept this, then transform yourself into a ghost and seek revenge on me, hahahaha..."

The man dressed in black and full of hostility picked up his defeated opponent with one hand and was about to execute him.

The man begged helplessly, "Don't kill me, please don't kill me. The New Year is coming soon, and my parents at home are waiting for me to go back and visit them."

Yan Sen was unmoved. "Humph, if you are so afraid of death, why did you come here? Don't you know how many people who participated in the trial have lost their lives?"

"Just accept your death!"

Tang Muqing exclaimed, "He's already defeated, why are you trying to kill him?"

The man slowly raised his head and continued with a sinister grin, "Little girl, don't you know where this place is? The so-called trial is just a nice word. Once you step into the Sword Ruins, it's a fight to the death. Don't expect your opponent to show you mercy!"

After Yan Sen finished speaking, he raised his left hand high, and suddenly a weapon as thin as a bee sting extended from his fingertips. Once it penetrated the flesh, it would take the person's life.

Shen Zhan sighed softly, knowing that they would not let such a murderous evildoer go easily, so he decided to save the dying man, which was a piece of cake.

In an instant, a sword energy flashed in front of Yan Sen, forcing him to let go of the opponent and retreat.

"Who dares to interfere in the affairs of our Thunder Palace?"

Shen Zhan answered loudly, "What Thunder Palace? I've never heard of it. You're blocking the way here. Can't you see I'm about to go over there?"

Yan Sen was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was used to being domineering, but he didn't expect that the person he met today was even more domineering than himself.

He stared at Shen Zhan with murderous intent and said, "It seems that you are also a fool looking for death. Then I will kill you first and then him. In short, anyone who dares to hinder me today will die in Jianxu."

Yan Sen waved his hand, and his fellow disciples came forward one after another. They all had ferocious faces, which showed that this Thunder Palace was not a reputable sect, and only recruited scum from the underworld as disciples.

Dong Ping and Xia Wenxiu had hardly ever fought with anyone after their cultivation had improved, so seeing this great opportunity, they couldn't wait to take action first.

Later, Shen Zhan and Tang Muqing also joined the battle and fought fiercely with the people from Leiming Palace.

Yan Sen had a sharp eye and quickly realized that Shen Zhan was the most powerful among them and difficult to deal with for the time being, while Tang Muqing was the weakest one.

So he shouted loudly, "Kill that little girl first! Her cultivation is only at the Martial Apprentice level!"

After he reminded them, many people focused their attention on Tang Muqing. People rushed towards her one after another, and the pressure Tang Muqing faced suddenly increased.

Seeing that she had become the target of public criticism, Tang Muqing remembered that Shen Zhan had taught her a trick yesterday, and now it came in handy.

Yan Sen took advantage of the gap when Tang Muqing was about to attack and approached silently. He always liked to find the opponent's weakness first and then attack, and at the moment, Tang Muqing was the weakness of Shen Zhan and others.

"Little girl, this is not the place for you."

Yan Sen's killing move suddenly came, and it seemed that Tang Muqing had no way to avoid it. However, she seemed extremely calm at this time. She just swung out the sword lightly, and several sword energies came towards Yan Sen.

I originally wanted to pick on the weak, but I didn't expect this little girl to be so capable.

Yan Sen was caught off guard and hurriedly used all his spiritual power to resist. He finally managed to block the sword energy, but he was forced to retreat ten steps away.

Shen Zhan raised the corners of his lips, revealing a smug expression.

Because yesterday when Tang Muqing asked him for help, he sealed several sword energies into the latter's sword, which could be used in a critical moment to have miraculous effects.

Seeing that he hadn't been able to easily defeat Shen Zhan and the others, Yan Sen, who had suffered a loss, suddenly shouted, "What are you waiting for? It's time to take action!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another sect appeared behind Shen Zhan and others, blocking their retreat with ill intentions.
