Chapter 257 Mortal Power
Just as Duan Zhengchun was searching for the direction from which the sound came, he suddenly noticed two huge shadows appearing rapidly from above into his line of sight.
An invisible pressure instantly filled the area in front of the pass!
"Back off!"
Duan Zhengchun's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly gave a loud order!
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately drove the carriage backward, and they all felt the impending danger!
With a loud bang, two enormous beasts landed in front of the locked stone gate, and on the back of each beast stood a robust young man in a blue robe, holding a long sword!
Duan Zhengchun frowned and looked at them, discovering that the two giant beasts looked like the ancient, extinct Fire-Scaled Beasts, with flames constantly billowing from their mouths!
The two fire-scaled beasts, like the two sword-wielding youths standing on their backs, all stared wide-eyed at Duan Zhengchun and his group.
"Leave here immediately, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
"This is the final warning!"
A young man standing on the back of the Fire-Scaled Beast pointed a finger at Duan Zhengchun and shouted again, his face full of hostility.
"What if I absolutely have to go in today?!"
Duan Zhengchun leaped up and arrived at the very front of the group, coldly staring at the young man who had spoken, without the slightest fear.
He could sense that these two sword-wielding youths were extremely powerful, and even the two fire-scaled beasts they rode were not to be trifled with!
But having come all this way, he would not return empty-handed, nor would he be intimidated by the other party.
If war is necessary, then let's fight!
He wanted to see just how much more skilled the true celestial beings were compared to the Fire Attack Monk!
"Ignorant ants! You're asking for death!"
The young man wielding the sword shouted sharply and suddenly raised his hand. Instantly, the sword in his hand was drawn from its sheath and the blade pierced directly towards Duan Zhengchun with lightning speed!
Upon seeing this, Qin Mohan, who was following behind Duan Zhengchun, drew his sword without saying a word and was about to rush forward!
"Get out!"
Without turning his head, Duan Zhengchun shouted sharply, then raised his hand and waved it. Immediately afterwards, a dragon's roar was heard, and the Lingxiao Sword rushed out of the carriage to meet the sword in mid-air!
Although Duan Zhengchun's technique was slightly inferior, his sword moves were extremely fierce, even though he also used qi to control the sword.
After a clang of metal on metal, the two unwielded longswords returned to their respective owners.
The two sword-wielding youths stared in astonishment at Duan Zhengchun, who remained firmly in place, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Are you really just a mortal?!"
Another young man wielding a sword finally spoke out in shock.
It seems that Duan Zhengchun's immense strength has truly surpassed the limits of ordinary people.
"We're all human beings, what's the difference?!"
"Do the people of the Celestial Realm really think they are gods?!"
Duan Zhengchun snorted coldly and said disdainfully.
He hated the way the other person looked at him with disdain.
"Ignorant mortal, you wouldn't understand even if I explained. Even if the people in the Heavenly Realm aren't gods, they are still beings far superior to you mortals!"
"Since you're courting death, don't blame us for being ruthless!"
The young man who had exchanged blows with Duan Zhengchun spoke again, scoffing disdainfully before suddenly stomping hard on the back of the Fire Kirin Beast. Immediately afterward, the Fire Kirin Beast roared and charged madly towards Duan Zhengchun!
Seeing this, another young man charged directly at Duan Zhengchun using almost the same method!
"Hide!"
Seeing the two ancient behemoths charging towards him, Duan Zhengchun raised his hand and gave a loud command.
He could sense that the other party was not simple and did not want others to be affected!
Immediately afterwards, Duan Zhengchun, wielding the Lingxiao Sword, advanced instead of retreating, rushing out like lightning and thrusting out two swords that struck the Fire Scale Beast's vital points!
Just then, the two fire-scaled beasts almost simultaneously spewed out two huge fireballs, which directly enveloped Duan Zhengchun!
Seeing that the situation was not right, Duan Zhengchun quickly touched the ground with his toes and dodged backward. Then he threw the Lingxiao Sword in his hand with force!
A moment later, with two painful screams, the two ferocious fire-scaled beasts stumbled and knelt on the ground. The two youths standing on their backs also lost their balance and swayed back and forth.
At this critical moment, Duan Zhengchun, who had already stepped back, suddenly turned back, summoned back the Lingxiao Sword, and swung a fierce sword at each of the two youths!
The Divine Firmament Sword has reappeared!
The two youths' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly drew their swords to block, but it was too late!
They underestimated their opponent and were too arrogant!
With two muffled groans, the two injured youths were sent flying backward and crashed heavily to the ground!
Duan Zhengchun lunged forward, stepping directly onto the chest of one of the youths, and said condescendingly, "Today I must enter the Heavenly Realm, and I will kill any god who stands in my way!"
"No matter what you call yourself, stop trying to stop us!"
The young man looked at Duan Zhengchun with a look of fear on his face. His brows were furrowed, his face was pale, and blood was flowing out of the sword wound in his chest.
"Should it be okay or not?!"
Duan Zhengchun stared coldly into the young man's eyes and asked, word by word.
"Even if you are the strongest in the mortal realm, you cannot enter the Heavenly Realm!"
"You don't actually think there are only the two of us guarding the Heavenly Domain Pass, do you?!"
The young man gritted his teeth and said coldly, still refusing to admit defeat despite his loss.
As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Zhengchun suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis coming from above. After looking up, he couldn't help but frown!
Above the pass, no fewer than twenty figures were descending from the sky, each holding a long sword!
In the blink of an eye, those people landed on the ground and surrounded Duan Zhengchun. Their faces were all cold, and they didn't seem to care about their two companions who had been seriously injured by Duan Zhengchun!
Duan Zhengchun coldly scanned the crowd and found that there were exactly twenty people, no more and no less!
Moreover, these twenty people are almost equally powerful, far surpassing the top-tier masters in the Central Plains martial arts world!
Looking at the people in front of him, Duan Zhengchun couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that today would be another fierce battle!
Fortunately, after recovering from his injuries, his strength had improved to a new level compared to before the battle at Zixia Peak!
"It seems that only by defeating all of you will I have a chance to enter the Heavenly Realm today?"
After saying something with a sneer, Duan Zhengchun kicked the young man at his feet aside and then coldly stared at the twenty sword-wielding youths surrounding him.
But the other party did not offer any explanation to him. Instead, they swarmed forward, and twenty sharp swords pierced him from all directions!
Feeling the overwhelming and sharp sword intent rushing towards him from all around, Duan Zhengchun dared not be careless. In an instant, he transformed into nine afterimages and rushed towards the nine sword-wielding youths!
A scream rang out instantly!
Duan Zhengchun was like a ghost, relentlessly charging through the crowd, and almost no one could withstand his sword strike!
A moment later, all twenty sword-wielding youths fell to the ground, each with varying degrees of injury!
Everyone stared in horror at Duan Zhengchun's superb swordsmanship, unable to believe that they would be defeated by him!
"impossible..."
"Who the hell are you?!"
A young man struggled to look at Duan Zhengchun and asked incredulously.
Duan Zhengchun slowly walked towards the young man, slightly raised his hand, and pressed the blade of his sword against the young man's throat, calmly saying, "I want to enter the Heavenly Domain!"
He only wanted to enter the Heavenly Realm and did not want to harm the people in front of him, so he did not kill them, but only injured them all.
"The mechanism to open the stone gate is located above the pass..."
The young man swallowed hard, then hesitantly pointed to the towering peak of the pass.
Duan Zhengchun didn't say anything. He pulled the young man up and leaped towards the top of the pass. Then, he casually threw the Lingxiao Sword, took a few steps in the air, and stood steadily on the sword as he rapidly ascended!
Seeing this, the other sword-wielding youths lying on the ground were stunned again, their faces filled with shock once more.
A moment later, with a heavy thud, the two massive stone doors slowly opened to the sides. Duan Zhengchun, grabbing the young man, plunged down, landing steadily on the ground in the exact same spot where they had been standing...
