Chapter 89: Ascending To The Heavens
In the pavilion at the peak of the Ninth Summit, Mo Zhengdong was looking at the hall.
There were four people beside him.
Feng Yixiao, as well as the three Heavenly Human Race individuals.
Miao Tian looked at Jiang Lan’s figure with shock.
“His heart is as clear as a mirror. Even if the sky collapses, he will not be alarmed. No wonder he could reach such heights. Such a young man actually possesses such a state of mind,” Miao Tian muttered to himself.
This person was beyond imagination.
How could a Golden Core cultivator possess such a state of mind?
“It seems that your junior is going to lose.” Feng Yixiao smiled at Miao Tian.
“Haha, let’s see what happens.” Miao Tian forced a smile.
At this moment, everyone saw the light of the disc suddenly bloom, as if the disc had been strengthened a lot.
“Oh?” Feng Yixiao looked down curiously.
“Elder Miao’s junior seems to have taken a step back, causing the difficulty of reaching the summit to increase greatly. Does this count as cheating? ”
“The difficulty for both sides will be increased. If the disciple of the Ninth Summit also take a step back, both sides’ difficulty will be increased as well. How can this be considered cheating?” Miao Tian said.
However, he knew that Miao Xiu could no longer reach the top.
He was forcing the other party to be eliminated.
This was the best choice.
Feng Yixiao did not speak. Instead, he looked at Mo Zhengdong.
However, Mo Zhengdong was expressionless.
…
Miao Xiu suddenly took a step back. Everyone saw it.
However, just as Miao Xiu retreated.
The disc had doubled in strength.
Everyone knew that this was caused by the other party’s retreat.
“He’s cheating, right? He’s deliberately retreating so that an unforeseen event will occur on the Stairway To Heavens.”
“Are the people of the Heavenly Human Race this shameless? Can’t they afford to lose?”
“Weren’t you clamoring earlier? Why are you playing tricks now?”
Miao Xiu looked down and said coldly.
“Don’t you see that the disciple of the Ninth Summit has yet to say anything? Incompetent people, stop making such a ruckus.”
The people in the square were instantly enraged.
Meanwhile, Miao Xiu no longer paid attention to the others, only looking at Jiang Lan.
He wanted to anger the other party and make him lose his cool.
However, he realized that the other party had his back facing him from the beginning to the end.
“Won’t he be angry?” Miao Xiu couldn’t understand this person.
Jiang Lan looked ahead. In his eyes, he could only see the path ahead.
As for Miao Xiu.
He didn’t pay attention to him.
Wherever the other party went, it was his business.
What he needed to care about now was to ascend the highest step and win this match.
If he could win, he would not give up.
The strengthening of the disc was nothing to him. It was just that the path had become a little harder.
It did not diminish his determination to go up, nor his desire to move forward.
“The last twenty steps.”
Jiang Lan took a step forward.
After the eighty-first step.
Countless specks of light appeared at the very top, transforming into small swords that instantly attacked with great momentum and breathtaking power.
The moment Jiang Lan saw this attack, he knew that he couldn’t block it.
Every strike contained the strength of a perfected Golden Core.
Once it came striking towards him, he would definitely lose.
Seeing the dense number of swords whistling towards him, he did not dodge. There were too many and he could not dodge all of them.
Pu!
Pu!
The sword lights passed by Jiang Lan and cut open his skin.
There were scars on his arm, thigh, cheek, and even his waist.
Blood oozed out from the wounds.
There was a stabbing pain.
Jiang Lan didn’t care, nor did he have time to care. He had to move forward, and the sword’s attack came again.
“Most attacks will only slightly stab me. Only one of them is the most fatal. If I fail to dodge that one attack, I will be severely injured. ”
At this moment, Jiang Lan was completely focused on the sword lights that were whistling towards him.
Woosh!
Pu! Pu!
His body was constantly being attacked and he was constantly bleeding, but it was not the time to care.
The fatal attack was coming.
The next moment, he saw it.
This time, Jiang Lan tried to turn his head to avoid the sword that was aimed at him.
Pu!
He had hurt the corner of his eye.
However, there was no time to care. He could only continue. The fatal attack came again.
Everyone was watching. They were shocked to discover that Jiang Lan was covered in injuries.
Yet, he still continued walking forward.
There was no pause.
Faced with so many attacks.
The audience was speechless.
They believed that they would not be able to dodge it. Furthermore, as long as their steps messed up, they would definitely be severely injured.
“What kind of mental fortitude must one have to be able to walk so steadily?”
“That’s right. If we’re not careful, we’ll die up there, right? I saw a few attacks that could have taken the Senior Brother’s life.”
“All of you must not know just how strong his temperament is and how high his level of cultivation is. All these years, Senior Brother Gu Qi of the First Summit had been working hard at the Peaceful Void Lake. Why do you think he did so? It was to surpass the Ninth Summit’s Junior Brother. About sixty years ago, Senior Brother Gu lost to Junior Brother Jiang Lan from the Ninth Summit at the Peaceful Void Lake. Even now, Senior Brother Gu did not dare to say that he had surpassed the Junior Brother of the Ninth Summit.”
Jing Ting looked at Jiang Lan in a daze. He always remembered that this Junior Brother of his rarely smiled. He did things in an orderly manner without any special characteristics.
However, he was now in the face of so many attacks that were bound to appear in front of him and most of these attacks would harm him or even fatally wound him.
Yet, he did not stop in his tracks and did not look down at his injuries.
He was only doing one thing—moving forward.
Behind him, Miao Xiu was stunned. He was also shocked. Where did this person get his courage from?
Wasn’t he afraid of dying here if he was careless?
The further up one went, the shorter the time one had to dodge.
Was he not shocked?
At this moment, Miao Xiu no longer had any desire to fight. He once again chose to retreat.
As Miao Xiu retreated, the attack from the disc became faster and more concentrated.
Countless sword lights pierced through Jiang Lan.
Blood splattered onto the ground.
Miao Xiu wanted to continue retreating. However, if he continued to retreat, his heart would definitely wave and he would definitely lose first.
Now he could only stand there and watch.
He could only wait for his opponent to fall.
Miao Xiu’s actions once again incurred the wrath of everyone below.
“Shameless, shameless.”
“If you can’t win, then admit defeat! Why are you using such despicable methods.”
“Shameless, too shameless.” Xian Xi stood beside Jing Ting, supported by her Junior Sister.
She couldn’t bear to watch anymore.
“Let’s take a look first. Junior Brother Jiang has yet to stop,” Jing Ting said.
Xian Xi and the others all looked towards Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan was already standing on the ninetieth step.
He was about to reach the summit.
Everyone saw Jiang Lan standing there, using healing spells to silently heal himself.
There was a lot of blood on his body.
It was a ghastly sight.
He was left with the last ten steps.
Jiang Lan knew that the following steps would definitely not be easy.
After the bleeding stopped, he took another step forward.
When he stepped onto the ninety-first step, Jiang Lan felt a change, a change that could overturn the world.
The wind and clouds surged, the stairs rose, and lava appeared.
This step felt like he was stepping onto the endless sky, and below the stairs was a pool of blazing lava.
The steps ahead changed as well, becoming a path that stretched to the end of the skies.
In the eyes of the others, the stairway that Jiang Lan was on had become a path to heaven.
When the scarlet lava appeared, it was as if Jiang Lan was no longer standing on the stairs. Instead, he was standing above the lava, facing the horizon.
A new light illuminated the surroundings.
Upon seeing this scene, Miao Xiu’s heart trembled as he couldn’t help but utter.
“The stairs of ascension?”
