341: Chapter 351 Sword Cultivator's Pride! Who do you think you are?
As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes on the deathly silent Heavenly Stairway focused on that figure.
Mu Linglong, who had already finished her meditation on the seventy-third step, stood up gently upon hearing this.
She did not speak, simply watching quietly.
It was not that she feared Young Master Yifeng, but she wanted to see if, in this Sword Domain, all men had lost the courage to resist in the face of power!
"As a Sword Cultivator, if one has concerns and acts timidly, no matter how Heaven-Defying one's talent is, one will never be able to forge ahead. If he retreats today, his path on the Dao of the sword will certainly not go far." Mu Linglong judged inwardly.
Meanwhile, outside the trial, watching Young Master Yifeng's arrogant and domineering face on the sky projection, countless Loose Cultivators gritted their teeth in hatred, and angry curses rose one after another!
"Bah! Relying on the prestige of your Great Emperor father, what kind of skill is that?!"
"Exactly! If you're a piece of Trash who can't make it, don't stop others from passing! Is this Heavenly Stairway opened by his Sword Emperor Mountain?!"
"Sigh, but then again, Sword Emperor Mountain really has the strength to decide life and death. If I were that Raincoat Guest, I might really not dare to take this step... Life is always more important than fortune."
At the front of the crowd, the one-armed Golden Immortal who had stood up for Su Jin at the entrance was trembling with rage, his only remaining hand gripping his sword hilt tightly.
"Is there really no true Sword Cultivator in this Sword Domain?!"
In the camp of the top Sects above the Nine Heavens. "Sigh..." The Grand Elder of Spirit Sword Villa looked at Su Jin's paused back and let out a deep sigh of regret.
"Facing the threat of Sword Emperor Mountain, if this kid can't take this step, his future path... will be hard to walk."
Beside him, Qing Feng, who carried a sword case on his back, stared intently at the Raincoat Guest in the projection. After a long silence, he suddenly exhaled a breath of stale air calmly: "That he could reach this seventieth step relying on a Golden Immortal Realm he just achieved, it was my eyes that were dull."
"Huh?!" The Saint Realm powerhouses around him turned their heads to look at Qing Feng in disbelief upon hearing this. He was the most stunning Sword Cultivator in a million years, arrogant to the bone! To make him admit in public that he had misjudged someone, just how terrifying was the talent of this Raincoat Guest?!
Just as the people outside were thinking differently, assuming Su Jin was going to submit, on the Heavenly Stairway, Su Jin raised his head slightly, looked at Young Master Yifeng through his bamboo hat, and asked in a calm tone: "Are you talking to me?"
Young Master Yifeng snorted disdainfully: "Hmph! Look at this seventieth step, apart from you, who else dares to move?!"
Su Jin was not upset, just tilted his head in confusion: "Do you know me?"
He had just arrived in the Sword Domain and didn't even know who the Sword Emperor was, so naturally, he didn't understand the distribution of power in the Sword Domain. He only felt that the man clamoring before him didn't seem to have a very good brain.
"Presumptuous!" Young Master Yifeng felt offended and laughed out of extreme anger. "What kind of lowly thing are you to be worthy of this Young Lord knowing you?!"
Su Jin looked at his arrogant and domineering face and was truly too lazy to waste another word. He withdrew his gaze directly, and then, under the gaze of Young Master Yifeng and all the Prodigies, he raised his foot without hesitation and stepped onto the seventy-first step!
"Tap." The crisp sound of footsteps echoed on the deathly silent Heavenly Stairway.
"Bastard! How dare you!!!" Young Master Yifeng's originally arrogant smile instantly stiffened on his face, then became extremely twisted!
Su Jin's step was worth more than a thousand words, making him feel even more humiliated and embarrassed than a slap across Young Master Yifeng's face! This was not just ignoring, it was naked contempt!
"Clap! Clap! Clap!" Standing on the seventy-second step, Mu Linglong looked at Su Jin, who was standing firmly on the seventy-first step. A smile instantly bloomed on her beautiful face, and she applauded and exclaimed without any avoidance: "Well done! This is the pride that our generation of Sword Cultivators should have!! This is a real man!!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the dozen or so peerless Prodigies from major Sects, who had been staying on the seventieth step, all stared blankly at Su Jin's towering back. Their faces turned blue and white, as if something in their hearts had been shattered fiercely.
"Is he tired of living? This is completely offending Sword Emperor Mountain to death!" Someone muttered to themselves, with a trace of fear in their voice.
But there were also Prodigies who gritted their teeth, and anger and realization reignited in their eyes: "No! I think he did the right thing! If I don't dare to step onto this seventy-first step today because I fear power, I will have no chance to reach the end of the Great Dao in this life! Am I cultivating his Sword Emperor's sword, or my own sword?!"
Not just inside the Heavenly Stairway. In the Linchuan Realm outside the trial, when they saw the Raincoat Guest ignore the threat and boldly take that step, countless Loose Cultivators boiled over!
"Well done! This is how our generation of Sword Cultivators should be!!!"
The one-armed Golden Immortal was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears. He raised his only arm and shouted crazily: "If everyone is oppressed by the powerful and dares not resist, what kind of damn Sword Domain is this?! Can we still be called Sword Cultivators?!"
"What courage!!!" Above the Nine Heavens, Qing Feng could not help but brighten his eyes. A look of appreciation appeared on his usually indifferent face, and he even could not help but praise aloud.
"Qing Feng!" The old soul of Sword Emperor Mountain immediately turned his head upon hearing this, his pair of turbid eyes narrowed tightly, and his gaze revealed an extremely dangerous warning, the meaning of which was self-evident—you are challenging the majesty of Sword Emperor Mountain!
But at this moment, Qing Feng met the old soul's gaze without any fear, and even the sword case on his back let out a buzzing sound filled with high Battle Intent.
"If I were in his destitute situation, facing the threat of a Great Emperor's power, I would not be able to take this step." There was no longer any contempt in Qing Feng's eyes, only respect for a fellow practitioner: "The body of a Sword Cultivator can endure thousands of devastations. But once fear arises in the heart, his sword will be completely tarnished!"
"Qing Feng is right! As the top Sects of the Sword Domain, if we allow the younger generation to engage in such despicable acts of bullying and cutting off others' paths, it will be spread out and laughed at by everyone in the Great Thousand Star Domain!" Spirit Sword Villa also stood up, speaking righteously.
For a time, the Saints of the major Sects spoke out in agreement, their tones unprecedentedly united. Everyone had long been unhappy with Sword Emperor Mountain; today, this Raincoat Guest had vented their anger for them!
Watching the crowd filled with righteous indignation, the old soul's face was livid. In the end, he wisely chose to snort coldly and remain silent. After all, having committed public outrage, even if the Sword Emperor was strong, he could not slaughter all the Sects present.
On the seventy-first step of the Heavenly Stairway. Young Master Yifeng watched Su Jin, who turned a deaf ear to his threats, trembling with rage, his eyes red. He had been rampant in the Sword Domain for so many years; never had anyone dared to ignore him like this!
"Kid! You are courting death!!!" Young Master Yifeng pointed at Su Jin, gritting his teeth. "If you dare to pull out the sword on this seventy-first step today! I guarantee that after leaving the trial, not only will I extract your soul and refine it, but I will also use all the power of Sword Emperor Mountain to make your whole family die without a burial place!!!"
"Noisy!" Su Jin spat out two words coldly, a flash of icy killing intent in his eyes. Then, right in front of Young Master Yifeng, he reached out and grasped the sword hilt on the step!
"Hum—!!!" The moment he grasped the sword hilt. The scene before Su Jin distorted, and he was pulled into an otherworldly space filled with endless slaughter.
In this space, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and countless peerless sword lights carrying the Law of destruction were attacking him like a rainstorm, covering the sky and the earth!
This terrifying test of the Dao of the sword, which was enough to make Young Master Yifeng flee in panic. In the eyes of Su Jin at this moment, not only was there no fear, but it was filled with excitement!
Su Jin drew the ink-wash heavy sword wrapped in gold silkworm silk from his waist, and the Law of the heavy sword around him erupted with a bang! "This is interesting..."
