Chapter 207 The Wave Who Doesn’t Listen

Zhao Yushu reached the seventh floor almost unscathed.

Tens of thousands of onlookers cheered like a landslide and tsunami. No one would doubt that he could not beat Duan Tiezhu on the seventh floor, even if he was the second in Wangjiang Tower.

There was no way. The first three floors were defeated one by one with one sword. The fourth floor gave up directly. The fifth floor struggled for a while but was taken down in three or two moves. The sixth floor came on with great momentum, but was still defeated in one move.

This is not a confrontation of one level at all.

Well-informed gossipers proudly told the audience around them about the embarrassing incident more than ten years ago when the elder of Wangjiang Tower was defeated by a disciple of a higher level from the academy. This was to prove that since the master of the academy could beat a disciple of a higher level, it was inevitable that he would be invincible in the same level.

Wangjianglou also had no doubt that Mr. Liu was invincible among those of the same level.

So they had to let Duan Tiezhu make a breakthrough on the battlefield.

If the fifth level of heaven fights the fourth level of heaven, there may still be a glimmer of hope.

All the major gambling houses in Jiangning had opened their handicaps early. Previously, there were some bets with very low odds on whether Mr. Liu could break through the seventh floor, but now the latest bets are all about betting on how many moves it would take to win on the seventh floor.

Duan Tiezhu was getting a little restless. Although everyone had already discussed how to go about this process that night, this kid was a little murderous today.

What’s more, his condition is not right. What if he can’t stop himself and kills himself?

What concerned him the most was whose blood Zhao Yushu was covered in. He hoped that it wouldn't be some brainless idiot who touched the ordinary people around him.

The sound of footsteps coming up the stairs could be heard, heavy and unhurried.

Most of the people sitting on the top floor had cultivation levels far exceeding Zhao Yushu's, but they were all captivated by the sound of footsteps and couldn't help but look towards the stairs, waiting for the young man to come up.

It was a simple bun with an ordinary green jade hairpin inserted in it. It was an ordinary object without any spiritual fluctuations, and it was not a fine item either. It was just something Zhao Yushu bought in Dongdu for thirty cents, so it was fine as long as it could be used.

Then there was a plain face, more than half of the men present were more handsome than him.

Next was the bloodstained robe. Except for a very few people who knew the truth, whose blood was on the robe became the biggest mystery in the entire Jiangning.

The last one is the fine steel sword, which is three feet three inches long and weighs four pounds and six ounces. It was forged from a piece of cold iron in the deep mountains of the southwest and was commissioned by a master craftsman from Shushan. It is the sword of Shushan disciple Wu Ziheng.

This sword killed four people today and conquered the entire southeast.

Duan Tiezhu stood in the middle of the hall, feeling the urge to jump directly from the building into the river and escape with the waves.

Zhao Yushu looked around and saw Wang Shaolin.

Wang Shaolin's hands and feet were cold and he couldn't stop shaking.

Zhao Yushu is doomed to die. Even if he is not dead, he will be a disabled person. There are dozens of cultivators in this hall, at least five great cultivators above the seventh level, and two inner realm cultivators.

Except for Wu Ziheng, no one would stand by and watch Zhao Yushu act wildly.

He can't kill me anyway!

But why am I still afraid?

Wang Shaolin remembered his father's words: We are all mortals, but Zhao Yushu is a god.

How dare a mortal plot against a god?

But my plan was successful! He was going to die in my hands soon!

The prince was also shaking. He was not afraid of Zhao Yushu. Even without the internal scene behind him, Zhao Yushu might not be able to defeat him alone. Moreover, Zhao Yushu was poisoned by Zhang Chun.

He is afraid of the academy.

The academy is too powerful. Zhao Yushu has only been here for two or three months, but he has been able to overthrow the entire southeast by himself. The younger generation has all been defeated by him. If there are more Zhao Yushus in the academy, will they one day also rush into the imperial city with swords in hand?

Zhao Yushu turned his gaze and looked at Duan Tiezhu: "Begin?"

Tiezhu nodded with difficulty, glanced at an elder of Wangjiang Tower standing to the side, rolled up his tongue, and swallowed the secret medicine that had been prepared long ago.

He didn't plan to pretend to exchange a few moves with Zhao Yushu before taking medicine. The boy was not in the right condition, and dragging it out for too long might not be a good thing for both him and himself.

Zhao Yushu thrust his sword forward, but Duan Tiezhu swung his sword to knock the opponent's sword away. After swinging his sword for a few moves, he let out a loud roar, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth surged wildly.

Except for a few elders in Wangjiang Tower who knew the inside story, all the cultivators were stunned. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was surging, which was a sign that someone was about to advance. Could it be that this second-in-command could break through in the middle of a battle?

There was also a commotion outside Wangjiang Tower. If the second-in-command broke through at this time, would it be considered the fourth level or the fifth level?

It seems that the Fifth Heaven won unfairly, but the breakthrough is beyond human control. If others can break through in the battle, it is ultimately their own ability, so it seems that their victory is reasonable.

The one who was most deeply touched was He Yuyao who was standing downstairs. Seeing that the second seat was about to move up one level, her position as the third seat seemed to be becoming more and more unstable. Well, she could now become the second seat.

Zhao Yushu's coat rustled as his spiritual power surged. Duan Tiezhu's eyes were bloodshot. It seemed that the side effects of this medicine were even worse than he said.

Zhao Yushu didn't dare to delay any longer, and stabbed the long sword towards the seven major acupoints with a swish.

Duan Tiezhu roared and tried his best to block Zhao Yushu's sword.

Zhao Yushu frowned and looked at Duan Tiezhu with a confused look, realizing that the top management of Wangjiang Tower might have feared that Tiezhu would do something tricky after taking the medicine, so they added something to the medicine that directly affected his mind. These old guys were much more vicious than these two young boys had imagined.

Zhao Yushu couldn't wait. If he didn't seal Duan Tiezhu's acupoints in time, the life of this man who was very much to his liking would be over. And if he was really dragged away for a while by the unconscious Tiezhu who rushed to the fifth heaven, he would be finished now.

Zhao Yushu quickly circled around Duan Tiezhu, the poison in his body rushing to his dantian almost frantically, and he didn't have much time left.

Duan Tiezhu's strange condition was soon discovered by everyone, but almost everyone upstairs tacitly turned a blind eye. For the older generation who had already become famous, what could be more gratifying than destroying two disobedient genius juniors in one fell swoop?

Waves of exclamations could be heard outside Wangjiang Tower, and anyone could see that this was not an ordinary advancement of a cultivator.

Duan Tiezhu slammed his sword hard on the ground, and spiritual power surged over. This was the fourth time Zhao Yushu had seen this move.

The first time he was restrained by He Yuyao, and he relied on Minghong's divine power to withstand the attack. The second time it was still He Yuyao, and Zhao Yushu came down from the sky to break the sword storm.

The third time was when Tiezhu used it to assassinate Wang Xiu. As a bystander, Zhao Yushu saw Wang Xiu being caught off guard and seriously injured by the move.

If Zhao Yushu still can't figure out a solution after three attempts, he won't be worthy of going up to the seventh floor.

Zhao Yushu also stabbed the floor with a sword, and the spiritual power fluctuations immediately spread out.

The two water waves intersect without interfering with each other, so what about the fluctuations of spiritual power?

The answer is that they still do not interfere with each other.

This is exactly the result Zhao Yushu wanted.

He was conscious and tried hard to maintain his steps, but Tie Zhu, who was in a daze, could not control his body at all. His feet slipped and he fell to the ground.

A figure descended from the sky, the sword reflecting the sunlight made everyone squint unconsciously, and a puffing sound was heard, and the spiritual power rolling between the heaven and earth slowly dissipated...
