Ni Zhenchun's breathing became more and more rapid.

The heavy sword intent that kept popping up all over his body seemed to have added a lot of weight to him. He gradually couldn't get out of his foot and was stabbed into the shoulder by He Zhengrong's sword, which was directly pierced through, and blood splattered.

He groaned, staggered, and almost fell.

But before he could stand firm, He Zhengrong stabbed him with another sword.

Ni Zhenchun was furious and avoided the sword in a very embarrassing way. After all, he threw himself to the ground, turned his head and roared: "He Zhengrong! You are useless!"

He Zhengrong held the big stone sword in his hand and said calmly: "I may have been a useless person in the past, but now, the useless person is you. Don't look at me with your previous ideas anymore. This will make you very stupid. The facts have proved that it is easy for me to kill you. You'd better change your attitude."

Ni Zhenchun's expression was a little frozen.

He thought about the follower who could be beaten and scolded when he was a child, how could the mere concubine of the He family suddenly become a different person, dare to ridicule him in person in Taiqing Tower, and even dare to draw his sword to him and show his murderous intention. All of this is completely different from the He Zhengrong he remembers.

Both of them were clearly at the peak of the third realm, but the gap was obvious. This was something that Ni Zhenchun couldn't figure out and it was something that made him feel indignant.

Although the sword cultivator is indeed a terrifying type of person, this distance with almost no resistance is so strong that he wants to drive Ni Zhenchun crazy.

He Zhengrong breathed a sigh of relief.

He lowered his head and looked at the embarrassing childhood playmate, and his heart became calmer. A trace of complexity flashed through his eyes and disappeared completely.

His mood became very stable.

He slowly lowered his body, He Zhengrong leaned into Ni Zhenchun's ear and whispered: "I have broken the rules of climbing the tower, but I can't break some rules yet, so you can continue to live with great luck, but you'd better be nervous because I'll come to take your life soon."

He grabbed Ni Zhenchun's shoulder, which was pierced by the big stone sword, listened to Ni Zhenchun's shrill screams, and kicked him off the three-story stairs.

He Zhengrong looked around and found that there was no one on the three floors, only the guards were arranged neatly, and there was no color in his eyes.

On the stairs leading to the four floors, a figure stood.

He was looking at He Zhengrong with a very complicated look.

That's Tao Ye.

Unexpectedly, Tao Ye, the only disciple who came to Cangnan Mountain to attend the banquet successfully climbed to the four floors.

Noting that He Zhengrong's eyes were on her, Tao Ye didn't say anything, turned around and continued to step onto the stairs to climb the tower.

He Zhengrong was silent for a moment, and then followed.

He defeated Fang Changsheng and Ni Zhenchun in the challenges one after another, and he was qualified to climb the tower directly, so the three-story guards would naturally not stop them.

Watching his figure disappear on the stairs leading to the four floors.

The entire three-story building also fell into a very strange silence.

However, I don’t know how long it has passed, but suddenly there was a clear sound of footsteps from the stairs leading from the second floor to the third floor.

The three-story guards who had relaxed their vigilance suddenly changed their expressions.

Someone climbed the stairs again?

......

There is only one guard on the four floors.

A four-level general from the military headquarters.

The killing aura fills the entire four-story building.

It seems to be in a battlefield of corpses and seas of blood.

A few practitioners who challenged Chengyi Shangdi, who climbed the fourth floor, could go directly to the fifth floor to the banquet because of the rules set in advance. Therefore, they did not stay here for a long time, and the guard of the Fourth Street holding a spear was like a wooden stake, ignoring them.

In fact, as long as you climb the four floors, you are already qualified to attend the banquet. Except for those who are slightly cared for by those who are weak in cultivation, the remaining mounts are just fighting for a better seating position when attending the banquet.

Chen Jiyue and Zhou Luo, whose cultivation is also in the upper realm of Chengyi, as well as Xie Ning, who is not settling and Tao Ye from Cangnan Mountain, also went directly towards the fifth floor after climbing to the fourth floor.

Those who stayed on the four floors were all the peak of inheriting the artistic conception and a few practitioners who crossed the threshold of the four realms.

......

On the five floors, Chen Qiubai looked at the climbers who came up from the stairs, sensed the breath that appeared outside the building, and murmured in a low voice: "What do you mean by coming here?"

Ning Haoran and Xie Chunfeng also frowned slightly, and the aura was more familiar to them.

Even Xu Hexian, Yue Shiting, Fan Wuwei, Qingyi and others noticed a trace of abnormality outside the building.

Only Ping Po bowed her head and a heavier breathing sound came.

It is inevitable that you are older.

Chen Qiubai stood up and said, "I'll go out of the building."

Xu Hexian and Yue Shiting looked at each other without saying a word.

Fan Wuwei was groping his fat chin, showing a meaningful expression.

......

It started to rain outside the building.

It seems that the light rain the day before yesterday is just a precursor, and what is waiting for is the arrival of a heavy rain.

Under the eaves outside the building, there was a black oil-paper umbrella, and a slender figure stood under the umbrella.

The rain fell on the eaves and flowed down the gap to the ground, and countless lotus flowers bloomed, with clear and crystal water lines connected, as if covered with a layer of curtains.

Under the umbrella is a girl in a strong outfit spliced ​​with blue and red colors.

His face was cold and peerless.

Holding an umbrella in the left hand and a sword in the right hand.

Her eyes were staring at the building, because there was a young man who was about to climb the building with his sword.

There are many young monks who have been eliminated in the lobby on the first floor.

The palace guards under the eaves outside the building were originally trying to stop the young man, but when their eyes touched the girl holding an umbrella, their faces became a little solemn.

This made the boy easily cross the threshold.

However, although the guards guarding the gate did not stop him, someone on the floor was blocked in front of the boy.

Tang Tian's expression was very complicated, and Youyou said, "You are late."

The boy said blankly: "Aren't you still here?"

Tang Tian was silent for a moment, shook his head, and sighed: "The people here are all those who failed to climb the tower and are not qualified to go to the five floors to attend the banquet."

He briefly told the boy about the rules of climbing the tower.

The boy said suddenly: "So now I'm still going to climb the tower, so I'm not late."

Tang Tian said: "You are already very clear about the rules of climbing the tower. There are guards on every floor. With you alone, you cannot use the qualification to challenge to climb the tower, so you can only face those guards. Do you think it is necessary to climb the tower?"

The boy asked, "Why is it not necessary? It's just that there are stronger guards on every floor. Wouldn't it be enough to hit it?"

What he said seemed easy, looking very careless.

Tang Tian was a little speechless.

Although this is the truth, there are nearly a hundred guards with the cultivation level of Chengyi in the upper realm of the second floor alone. If you climb the tower alone, even if you can defeat those guards and climb the third floor, you will inevitably spend a lot of energy. If you cannot climb the fourth floor, you will exhaust your physical strength and mental power, and you will be destined to fail.

So he told the boy all these words seriously.

The boy was silent for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter. Since he is here, he always has to go upstairs and try it."

Seeing that the young man could not be dissuaded, Tang Tian had nothing to say, but finally said: "I was defeated by Guan Muyun. He is already at the peak of the third realm. He may still be on the fourth floor now. If you can really climb up, you have hope to meet him."

"Okay." The boy nodded and headed towards the second floor.

Tang Tian looked at the other person's back silently and said with some self-deprecating words: "I can no longer see your cultivation level clearly. Maybe you can really catch up with it."

Ni Zhenchun was accompanying Fang Changsheng who was unconscious, but he didn't notice the belated boy, but he was just keeping a gloomy face.

At this time, in the rain outside the building late at night, a sudden sound of wind broke out.

The figure in white clothes, better than snow, floated down like an immortal in dust.

However, Shen Qiubai did not go downstairs in the normal way, but chose the fastest way.

He stood under the eaves opposite the Panlong Banquet Pavilion, looking at the man holding an umbrella across the street.

The girl under the umbrella originally looked at the gaze inside the building, but after Shen Qiubai appeared, she also changed.

Shen Qiubai smiled and said, "Let's talk in another place."

The girl looked at the man in white, Shi Xue, opposite and nodded slightly.

It was just a teahouse located on the street from Panlong Yan Pavilion, where two people sat opposite each other.

A teahouse guy served a pot of hot tea.

Shen Qiubai lifted the exquisite glass teapot, poured two cups of tea, handed one of them to the girl, and chuckled softly: "Miss Xiao first arrived in the capital, so she can't treat her well, so I hope you don't blame me."

Xiao Zhinan glanced at the cup of tea in front of him, but did not drink it. He turned his eyes to the pavilion opposite and said, "He is climbing the tower."

Shen Qiubai said with some confusion: "Miss Xiao recognizes that boy?"

Xiao Zhinan looked back at him and said, "Don't you know him?"
