The Strongest Urban Son-in-law

Chapter 1916: Chapter 1944: 300 Zhang

Everyone was pushing their focus to the limit; they had to catch the falling Longsword. If, when it fell, they failed to catch it and let it crash to the ground, they would lose their qualification.

”Whoosh~~” But right at this moment, up in the sky, a dazzling light suddenly burst forth.

The light flickered, making everyone’s eyes sting so badly that they couldn’t open them at all.

Seeing this scene, everyone hurriedly used their spiritual power to sense where the Longswords were falling.

But this was not something that could be done so easily. Generally speaking, spiritual power can only probe objects that have a living aura.

And these Longswords were all dead objects; their spiritual power simply could not detect the positions of the blades.

Once those Longswords reached a height of two hundred zhang, they dropped straight down, carrying an aura of terrifying sharpness.

The aura circulated, cutting through the Void. Right then, on each falling Longsword, bursts of Ling Li Sword Qi actually flared out, Sword Qi swirling. Yet what Ye Feng sensed at this moment was not the aura of the Longsword, but the Sword Intent.

As long as it is a sword, then even if it is a dead object, it will definitely have Sword Intent within it—it’s only a matter of how strong or weak that Sword Intent is.

Ye Feng easily locked onto the Sword Intent of his own Longsword and judged its position.

Ye Feng immediately spoke to Long Yu and Jiuyi: ”Feel the Sword Intent, and you’ll be able to determine where your Longsword is!”

Hearing Ye Feng’s words, the panic on Long Yu and Jiuyi’s faces quickly faded. They calmed down in no time, followed Ye Feng’s guidance, and went to sense the Sword Intent of their Longswords. Sure enough, in just a short while they found the positions.

”Swish swish swish~~” The Longswords kept plummeting, and in a short time they were already in front of the crowd.

Ye Feng swiftly stretched out his palm and grabbed the falling Longsword in one go, catching it with ease.

And under Ye Feng’s guidance, Long Yu and Jiuyi also successfully caught the Longswords they had thrown.

”Puff puff puff~~” However, many people simply had no way to judge where their Longswords were, failed to catch them, and were pierced straight through the body by the blades. Blood sprayed out as those Martial Artists collapsed to the ground.

Everyone was stunned; they hadn’t expected that such a simple trial would actually claim so many lives.

Looking at the Martial Artists lying dead all over the ground, everyone began to hesitate, wondering whether they should still throw out the Longswords in their hands for the third time. At this point, over a hundred more Martial Artists had died, and more than three hundred people had failed to catch their Longswords and lost their qualification.

The crowd began to waver; now there were only just over a hundred Martial Artists left who had not yet been eliminated.

From nearly ten thousand participants at the start to the second stage of the trial, more than ninety percent of the Martial Artists had already been eliminated.

Yet Ye Feng still wore a relaxed, calm expression, as if no matter what kind of difficulty arose, he could handle it.

And everyone knew that if they wanted to obtain the Primordial Spirit, they had to throw their Longswords even higher.

But they also understood that the higher they threw the Longswords, the harder it would be to catch them.

This was not something that could be done easily, yet Tianxing seemed unwilling to give everyone any time to think.

”I’ve decided: those who can attempt to obtain the Primordial Spirit and advance to the next stage will be limited to only ten people. You decide for yourselves how high you’re going to throw your Longswords!” Tianxing suddenly spoke. Everyone was stunned.

”What!” Before, it had been one hundred people. No one had expected Tianxing to suddenly change his mind and say that only the ten with the greatest height could pass the trial. This made everyone feel completely caught off guard.

They knew very well that if they wanted to become one of those ten, then this time the height to which they threw their Longsword had to reach at least three hundred zhang; otherwise, it would all be for nothing.

”Ready—three, two, one, throw!” Tianxing shouted loudly, giving the crowd no time to react at all.

”Swish swish swish~~~” The moment Tianxing’s words fell, quite a few Martial Artists hurled their Longswords into the air.

Ye Feng had long since made his preparations, and not just Ye Feng—Long Yu, Jiuyi, Emperor Yun Dao Venerable, the Canglong Saint Heir, the Green Lotus Sword Sect’s eldest senior brother Li Yan, Ye Lan, all of them had already prepared to throw their Longswords to a height of three hundred zhang. So almost at the instant Tianxing finished speaking, they threw their Longswords out.

”Swish swish swish~~” One Longsword after another shot straight toward the heavens, streaking up into the high sky.

In no time, their Longswords reached ninety-nine zhang, then effortlessly shattered the Prohibition barrier and continued flying higher. Soon, their Longswords arrived at one hundred ninety-nine zhang.

At the height of one hundred ninety-nine zhang, the strength of the Prohibition barrier was several times more terrifying, yet it still couldn’t stop their Longswords from continuing to rise. In a short while, everyone’s Longswords shattered the one hundred ninety-nine-zhang barrier and reached two hundred zhang. Just at the two hundred-zhang mark, dazzling light suddenly burst forth in the Void.

The dazzling light was so intense that everyone couldn’t open their eyes, and at this moment the Longswords continued to soar upward.

They went straight up to two hundred ninety-nine zhang, and sure enough, at two hundred ninety-nine zhang, just as everyone had guessed, the third Prohibition barrier appeared. Moreover, the strength of this third barrier was several times that of the second.

”Bang bang bang~~” Each Longsword kept slamming into that third Prohibition barrier.

The Prohibition barrier dented inward, but many people had not used their full strength when throwing their Longswords. If they didn’t throw with all their strength, there was no way to break through the barrier.

And if they couldn’t break through the Prohibition barrier, the Longswords they had thrown would be bounced back. The rebound speed would reach a terrifying level—several times the normal falling speed. Their Longswords instantly turned into afterimages, dropping rapidly out of the Void, their speed like thunderbolts, slicing through space, the Space Barrier shattering.
