Chapter 180: Peak of the Pseudo-Great Swordsman

Half a month has passed, and many outer courtyard disciples have left here. After all, the outer courtyard competition will start in half a month, and they all have to go back to prepare.

And many inner courtyard disciples have also left.

Now, there are only three or four thousand people outside the Jianqi Tower.

On the griffin suspended in the void, the silver-robed elder took a deep look at the Jianqi Tower, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Half a month has passed, and no one can go up to the ninth floor.

Thinking back to the beginning, Mo Qingfeng only took ten days to reach the ninth floor.

"Alas, each year is worse than the previous year." The silver-robed elder sighed slightly. He had hoped for a surprise, but now it seems that there is little hope.

On the side, several deans were also paying attention to the Jianqi Tower and talking in a low voice.

"There are still four guys in there. I wonder how they are doing?"

"I wonder if anyone in the outer courtyard can step into the sixth floor."

"I remember that the highest record of the outer courtyard is the seventh floor. To reach the seventh floor, at least you have to be a great swordsman."

"I dare not go to the seventh floor, but Xie Chuan will definitely pass the sixth floor." Dugu Hong said confidently on the side.

Hearing this, the other deans did not deny that Xie Chuan was the best player in the outer courtyard and the favorite to win the outer courtyard competition. He had a good chance of reaching the sixth floor.

"I don't know, how is Li Lin?" Qingmu Dean Mu Lin frowned.

At this moment, several streams of light flew out of the tower and then slowly dissipated.

More than a dozen figures were teleported out of the tower, two of whom were outer courtyard disciples.

Jiang Zhen and Li Lin.

"How is it, which floor have you reached?" Dugu Hong and Mu Lin asked almost at the same time.

"Dean, the fifth floor." Jiang Zhen responded, but a trace of unwillingness flashed across his face. You know, he almost reached the sixth floor, only two steps away, but unfortunately he was too impatient, and was stabbed by the sword energy and left the sword energy tower.

"Dean, I also reached the fifth floor." Li Lin replied. He was stabbed by the sword energy when he was halfway up the stairs.

Hearing this, Dugu Hong nodded indifferently, "Yes, go back and prepare for the outer courtyard competition in half a month."

Aside, a trace of disappointment flashed across Mu Lin's face. He originally thought that Li Lin could make it to the sixth floor, but the result was contrary to his expectations, but the fifth floor was not bad.

Now, there are not many people in the Jianqi Tower.

Except for Baili Yunfei and Duanmu Xiu, there are less than ten inner courtyard disciples left.

And there are only two outer courtyard disciples left, Xie Chuan and Lin Dan

"That Lin Xiao, he is really able to endure. Since he can't get through, he still has to stay in there. Is it interesting? Instead of wasting time in the tower, it is better to come out and prepare for the outer courtyard competition." Dugu Hong sneered.

On the side, Xu Yan frowned and said, "Dugu Hong, there is no rule that prohibits staying in the Sword Qi Tower. Since the time is not up, you can stay in it as long as you want. Moreover, the two have not come out yet, and the result is still uncertain."

"Really? What you mean by this is that you think Lin Xiao can reach a higher level than Xie Chuan," Dugu Hong raised a trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth, "Aren't you afraid of laughing at me?"

"Humph, I'm just telling the truth."

"What a truthful person, how about this, do you dare to bet with me?" Dugu Hong sneered.

"What to bet on?" Xu Yan's eyes were blank

Dugu Hong smiled coldly, "Just bet one hundred high-grade spirit stones, how about it, do you dare?"

Hearing this, Xu Yan frowned. One hundred high-grade spirit stones are equivalent to ten million gold coins, which is not a lot of money.

"It seems that you have no confidence in Lin Xiao, and you know he will lose, so you dare not bet with me." Dugu Hong sneered.

"You don't need to provoke me. I will definitely bet. However, I have a condition. If you lose, I don't want spirit stones. Just give me a piece of Yuling Jade."

Dugu Hong narrowed his eyes slightly. A piece of Yuling Jade is worth tens of millions of gold coins. This is a means of life-saving at a critical moment. Their entire Dugu family does not have more than ten pieces, and even he only has one piece.

However, this is a must-win game anyway, so he has no reason to hesitate, "Okay, let's bet. If I win, you will give me 100 high-quality spirit stones. If you win, I will give you the Yuling Jade."

After that, the two of them looked at the Sword Qi Tower again. The difference was that Dugu Hong looked relaxed and at ease, as if he had won the game, while Xu Yan looked worried, but there was a glimmer of hope in his worry.

On the fifth floor, Lin Xiao sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and concentrated. In his mind, he recalled the scenes of resisting sword energy on the stairs several times. Sword energy flew through his mind quickly.

Those sword energies flew by without any trajectory.

At this moment, Lin Xiao's eyebrows suddenly tightened. The trajectories of the sword energy, which seemed to be messy, gradually became clear and orderly, and gradually slowed down in his mind.

A mysterious feeling surged into Lin Xiao's heart.

At this moment, a blood-red sword mark suddenly appeared between Lin Xiao's eyebrows.

Kill the sword soul!

In an instant, Lin Xiao felt as if he had caught something. He suddenly opened his eyes and flashed a glimmer of enlightenment.

At this moment, Lin Xiao felt that his understanding of the sword was deeper, and he was only one step away from the great swordsman.

The peak of the pseudo-great swordsman!

Lin Xiao suddenly stood up, his eyes flashing with brilliance, holding the Soul Devouring Technique, and went to the stairs.
