Chapter 327: Only One Person Can Walk Out Alive

In this “illusion,” the ancient divine beasts and ancient ferocious beasts had already started battling with the cultivators.

The realms of these ancient divine and ferocious beasts were definitely not among the top five realms.

Otherwise, just one of them would be enough to completely annihilate all these people.

Xu Ming felt that even himself could only flail around a bit at most.

But still, the realms of these divine and fierce beasts weren’t low either.

The realms of the cultivators in the Rootless Mystic Realm were all between the Dragon Gate Realm and the Golden Core Realm. However, the realms of these fierce beasts were almost all at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, and some were even at the Nascent Soul Stage.

This resulted in the cultivators barely surviving.

Their attempt to kill these divine and fierce beasts was indeed quite difficult.

At first, these cultivators were arrogant and wanted to slay these divine and fierce beasts.

But soon, they realized the reality and fled everywhere. As long as they could endure for the duration of this incense stick burning, anything could happen.

However, Xu Ming decided to take an unconventional path.

Xu Ming directly picked up his long sword and slashed down at a qilin.

Not knowing whether these divine and fierce beasts were real or not, since he hadn’t fought with these ancient divine and fierce beasts before, he thought it best to fight first and ask questions later.

The other cultivators inside the “illusion” saw Xu Ming directly clash swords with a Nascent Soul Stage beast, their expressions momentarily dazed.

For a moment, they couldn’t tell who was the ancient fierce beast.

And finally, this ancient fierce beast was actually directly cut down by Xu Ming.

“Crazy!”

Everyone came to a conclusion about Xu Ming.

This person was absolutely insane! Meanwhile, the woman in the red dress sat on that rock, watching everything with interest.

It seemed like watching these cultivators struggle for survival was like watching an extremely exciting drama for her.

Watching Xu Ming, she looked particularly intrigued.

“This man always manages to surprise me,” the woman muttered to herself.

“Eh?”

Just when the woman in red was enjoying the show,

Xu Ming suddenly disappeared from her line of sight.

When the woman turned her gaze,

Xu Ming was already holding his long sword, slashing down at her.

“Boom!”

Xu Ming’s sword was blocked by red Sword Qi above the woman, preventing him from advancing even an inch.

“Hum!”

Xu Ming’s Sword Qi grew stronger.

His Sword Qi even pierced through the barrier and struck towards the woman in red.

The woman gracefully rose, Xu Ming’s Sword Qi cutting into the boulder beneath her.

The massive rock under the woman in red was instantly shattered.

“Tsk.”

Xu Ming frowned dissatisfied.

Earlier, Xu Ming intended to sneak attack her, hoping to knock her down.

He didn’t expect that there was Sword Qi surrounding her.

Otherwise, if his strike succeeded, he might have had a real chance.

“Geez, attacking without saying hello, you’re really annoying~” the woman teased.

“I never planned for you to like me anyway.” With those words, Xu Ming swung his sword at the woman in red again.

The woman smirked, raised her hand, and the blood-red long sword flew into her grasp.

“Clang clang clang clang!”

The two swords collided, sparks flying.

Xu Ming felt that this sword spirit’s sword techniques were bizarre yet harmonious, as if she had mastered all sword techniques and created her own style.

Xu Ming seized an opportunity, unleashed the Mountain Shaking technique of the Heaven Opening Fist, aiming straight for her chest.

“Bang!”

Xu Ming felt like his fist hit a piece of steel.

Even though her chest looked so soft, and it even jiggled during their earlier fight,

He didn’t expect it to be so hard!

“What a pervert, touching there.” The woman lightly patted her chest; her clothes didn’t even wrinkle a bit.

Only then did Xu Ming realize that he hadn’t touched the woman at all. It was the Sword Qi surrounding her forming a protective film covering her entire body.

“But time is about up.”

The woman glanced at the incense stick stuck in the ground.

That incense was almost burnt out.

The cultivators within the “illusion” harbored侥幸 hopes, thinking they had finally passed the trial, not only surviving but also gaining many opportunities.

But who knew?

When the incense stick was about to burn out, these ancient divine beasts and ancient fierce beasts went berserk, rushing towards the other cultivators.

As if using their last bit of strength, they aimed to take their enemies down with them.

Blood and severed limbs splattered in the air within the “illusion.” Some cultivators even exploded into a mist of blood, leaving nothing behind!

A fire phoenix fully ablaze with flames rushed towards Shixin. Without hesitation, Xu Ming dashed to Shixin’s side, unleashing Sword Qi. The Sword Qi clashed with the fire phoenix, fiery circles scattering in the sky.

Any cultivator affected by the fiery circle turned into ashes.

After the last bit of incense burned out, all the cultivators collapsed on the ground.

Looking at the incomplete corpses scattered on the ground, their minds went blank.

“We survived! Hahaha! I survived!”

“I’m still alive!”

“Of course! I am destined!”

Some cultivators rejoiced wildly after passing the trial, much like Fan Jin winning the imperial examination.

Standing beside Shixin, Xu Ming furrowed his brows.

In Xu Ming’s view, things were not this simple.

They didn’t say there would only be this one trial, did they? “Clap clap clap”

The woman in red clapped her white, delicate hands and walked step by step toward Xu Ming and the others.

“Congratulations everyone for passing this test.”

The woman waved her hand, and treasure chests appeared before everyone.

When the chests opened, rare treasures emitted concentrated Spiritual Energy.

Even if they didn’t know what was inside the chests, they knew these things were definitely priceless! When a cultivator hesitantly moved forward, a Sword Qi stopped him in his tracks.

The woman smirked and slowly said, “But~ only one person can obtain these treasures~”

Her gaze swept over everyone: “Next, please fight each other. Only one person can get these treasures, and only one person can walk out of here alive.”
