Tuoa Liuming’s heart sunk. Although Qin Yun and GOngsun Jia had retreated off the mountain, the threat posed by them was still present.

He considered the possibility of winning against the two if he went down the mountain.

Shoosh!

Right then, Han Sheng flew down the mountain upon seeing that Su Mo and Gongsun Jia had backed down.

“Tuoba Liuming, I will not stop you. I hope that you will not take advantage of us!” Han Sheng stared at Tuoba Liuming and grunted. He knew that Tuoba Liuming would not back off easily and he would want the three of them to be crushed.

“Will I believe you?” Tuoba Liuming remained expressionless. He wasn’t dumb and he would not easily trust Han Sheng.

“Tuoba Liuming, we are retreating not because we are afraid of you, but because we don’t want to engage in meaningless battles!”

Gongsun Jia’s face remained stern as he continued, “We are letting you go first. When you are a hundred feet from the peak of the mountain, we will not head up!”

With that, he turned towards Han Sheng and Su Mo and asked, “What do the two of you think?”

Gongsun Jia knew clearly that for Tuoba Liuming to not chase after them, they had to take a step back.

However, he could not represent Su Mo and Han Sheng, and thus had to seek their opinions.

Han Sheng fell silent before he nodded his head and said, “Tuoba Liuming, Yun Mu, head up the mountain!”

Han Sheng wanted to reach a compromise. Nonetheless he didn’t think of it that way as Tuoba LIuming and Yun Mu would never be able to reach the peak either way.

Since ancient times, many top talents and gifted martial artists had come to Sword Mountain, but no one had been able to reach the peak.

Regardless of whether it was a Supreme Being, or the Reincarnated Body Tuoba Qingyun from reincarnation Holy Court, no one had the ability to reach the peak.

Numerous years had passed and among all who entered Great Sword Sepulcher, Tuoba Qingyun was the one who had gotten the closest to the peak.

Back then, Tuoba Qingyun had gotten within ten feet from the peak, but this ten feet had been like an enormous wall that he could not cross.

Granted, aside from those who entered Great Sword Sepulcher cultivated Sword Arts and hence, there were also many great talents who didn’t enter the Great Sword Sepulcher.

However, things had proved that no matter who it was, there was no way for anyone?to reach the peak.

In other words, there was virtually no chance for Tuoba Liuming and Yun Mu to reach the peak.

Su Mo fell silent upon hearing Gongsun Jia and Han Sheng’s words. Since the two had made their decisions, he would not rebut them.

He was not worried about others reaching the peak first and stealing the opportunity from him.

If the opportunity was that easy to reach, it would have disappeared much earlier on and it would not still be there.

Tuoba Liuming’s eyes narrowed. He could clearly see that Han Sheng and Gongsun Jia were scared.

What he wanted the most was for Su Mo and Han Sheng to become completely harmless to him.

Right at that moment, Tuoba Liuming’s eyes jumped. Yun Mu had not retreated and was taking fast steps forward.

Yun Mu had not delayed. Since Su Mo and the threat had been chased off Sword Mountain, she was in a position to head up the mountain safely.

Once Su Mo and the others were within a hundred feet from the mountain, her safety would be virtually guaranteed.

Furthermore, Gu Jianshan was only sixty feet from the peak and she could not delay any more.

“Humph! I will let you guys off just this once!” Tuoba Liuming scoffed before he sped up the Sword Mountain.

Since Yun Mu had continued on with her path up the mountain, he would not force Su Mo and the rest further back. After all, he realized he would have difficulty fighting his enemies alone, this would waste too much time.

With that, Yun Mu and Tuoba Liuming focused their attention back to climbing the mountain.

Su Mo stood at the foot of the mountain expressionless as his eyes flashed with a dangerous light.

“Brother Qin, let’s wait a while. There is no way they will reach the peak!” Gongsun Jia sighed.

“Brother Gong, thank you!”

Su Mo thanked Gongsun Jia. Whatever else had happened, Gongsun Jia had helped him.

“It is a small matter!’

Gongsun Jia waved his hand nonchalantly. With a light chuckle, he said, “I helped you because I feel that you are the only person with a chance of reaching the peak!”

“How is that easy!” Su Mo sighed, he didn’t have much confidence in himself anyway.

“Hehe, there is always a chance!” Gongsun Jia chuckled. He looked highly upon Su Mo. Such a talented martial artist would have a much higher chance of reaching the peak.

“Brother Qin, I also think you have a chance!” Han Sheng said. He had no clue about Su Mo’s status as an Ultimate Supreme Being Palace.

However, he was happy as long as any disciple of Ultimate Supreme Being Palace had a chance of reaching the peak.

“I will try my best!” Su Mo nodded. He fell silent as he shifted his attention to the top of Sword Mountain.

Yun Mu was originally closer to the peak of the mountain and within a brief moment, she had entered the hundred feet mark from the peak.

Origin Energy surrounded her in a thick layer and a strange, mysterious force also covered her. This force continuously struck the Sword Radiance below her feet.

On the other hand, Tuoba Liuming had retreated down the mountain and hence he had to head up again. However, his speed was fast and he raced quickly up the mountain.

The highest achiever so far, Gu Jianshan was within sixty feet of the peak. His entire body started to shiver uncontrollably and the Dark Force surrounding his body was torn and recovered in a hazardous manner.

However, Gu Jianshan was strong and determined. He slowly took small steps forward and in the span of ten breaths of time, he took half a step forward.

Time ticked by and half an hour flashed past.

After half an hour, Yun Mu was only eighty feet from the peak.

Tuoba Liuming had also entered a radius of one hundred feet from the peak.

The moment they got within a hundred feet from the peak, their speed would decrease by almost ten to a hundred times slowly and even Tuoba Liuming was no exception to this.

The other geniuses were typically around three hundred feet from the peak.

No one could get within three hundred feet and they began to give up one by one, retreating down the Sword Mountain.

There was virtually no chance for them and they could only observe the Favored One’s progress from the bottom of the mountain.

“Let’s go!”

Su Mo lightly called out to Gongsun Jia and Han Sheng before he lifted his feet and stepped onto Sword Mountain again.

With his experience under his belt, Su Mo’s speed was much faster this time around.

He activated his Blood Force and Primordial Spirit strength. At the same time, he circulated his Chaotic Energy to an even greater extent. He then walked up the mountain quickly.

Gongsun Jia and Han Sheng were also fast and they caught up to Su Mo’s speed.

After just fifteen minutes, Su Mo arrived at a point a hundred feet from the peak of the mountain.

Standing at the edge of a hundred feet, Origin Energy around his body circulated wildly, occasionally causing crackling sounds.

This was due to the sharp Sword Radiance colliding with his protective Dark Force.

Thankfully, the protective Dark Force was strong with the Blood Force and Primordial Spirit strength. Thus, it could stand the assault.

Gongsun Jia and Han Sheng were slightly further away from Su Mo and they were about a hundred and thirty to forty feet away from the peak.

With a deep sigh, Su Mo did not hesitate before he stepped into the hundred feet radius.

As he crossed the hundred foot mark from the peak, Su Mo felt the sharp Sword Radiance from his mountain cut his feet.

The Sword Radiance grew stronger and stronger without mercy for Su Mo.

The protective Chaotic Energy around his body started to shake violently as it crumbled apart.

“What a pest!”

Tuoba Liuming turned around and glanced at Su Mo with an expressionless face. Su Mo was a pest in his eyes.

With a low cultivation rank, Su Mo’s combat strength was terrifying and it was completely unusual.

Taking a deep breath, Tuoba Liuming turned his attention back to himself and calmed his mind. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net

He was only sixty feet from the peak, just ten feet behind Gu Jianshan. He had to exert all his focus into going up the mountain.

Right then, he wasn’t worried about Han Sheng or Su Mo attacking him. After all, within a hundred feet, no one had much ability to attack others.

Kaboom!

All of a sudden, a deafening explosion erupted, shaking the air.

Everyone whipped their heads around and they were shocked to find that Gu Jianshan, who was only fifty feet from the mountain, had Protective Dark Force erupting around him like a blood cloud.
