"That shouldn't be the case. I clearly did it!"

Looking at Chi Lian who was still alive and kicking below, Pei Er was puzzled.

Back then, Chi Lian was not called Chi Lian.

She has an ordinary-sounding name, Liu Deng.

Because he had a rare natural spiritual root, a single fire spiritual root, and was very talented in refining equipment, he was accepted as a direct disciple by the ancestor and had been learning refining equipment by his side.

Later, the ancestor refined the top-grade spiritual sword of the heavenly rank, the Red Refining Sword. This sword was collected by the Sword Master Duan Chuan and used as his personal sword, which unexpectedly earned the ancestor the reputation of the Weapon Master.

However, Chi Lian was so bold as to declare that the Chi Lian Sword was actually forged by her, and she even madly accused the ancestor of stealing her refining results.

The ancestor warned Chi Lian again and again, but Chi Lian still refused to change. Finally, the ancestor felt sorry for her and had no choice but to expel her from the sect.

Although on the surface it seemed that the ancestor had let Chi Lian go, Pei Er remembered that right after Chi Lian was driven away, the ancestor sent him a message, asking him to send people to hunt down Chi Lian.

To be on the safe side, Pei Er went to hunt down Chi Lian personally.

Not only did he sever Chi Lian's heart meridian, he also destroyed her Dantian, and then threw her body off a cliff. Logically, she should have been dead, but...

How could Chi Lian still appear before them alive? And even participate in this Sword Competition!

Sensing the anger rising from Pei Yu, Pei Er hurriedly said, "Grandfather, calm down. Once the Sword Competition is over, I, your grandson, will find an opportunity to kill her. I will definitely not fail again this time!"

"No need."

Pei Yu sneered, hiding the murderous intent in his eyes, "When the time comes, I will personally take action!"

Pei Er breathed a sigh of relief.

The ancestor is a super powerful person in the Tribulation Realm. Isn’t it easy for him to kill Chi Lian, a low-level cultivator who only looks to be in the Foundation Establishment Realm?

"Why did this female cultivator named Jiang Deng come to Flame Sword Intent again?"

Unlike Pei Yu and the other two, most of the others' eyes fell on Jiang Deng. They were speechless as they watched Jiang Deng appear in the sword energy area again.

Logically speaking, Jiang Deng has passed two levels. If she enters again this time, she should enter the central area of ​​the sword disk!

But why hasn't she entered yet?

Instead, they arrived at the first level where the Pei brothers were...

Even an elder of Kaitian Sect was puzzled and asked Yun Haoran beside him, "Master, is this sword plate broken due to disrepair?"

"No," Yun Haoran said calmly, "There's nothing wrong with the sword disk. I think this cultivator named Jiang Deng has several kinds of sword energy in his body, so he can enter multiple sword intent areas."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Chuan sneered, "This woman has practiced so many different kinds of sword energy, isn't she afraid of biting off more than she can chew?"

"Sword Master is absolutely right!"

"Since ancient times, we sword cultivators have been single-minded in cultivating only one type of sword energy. Even with this, it's still difficult to even reach the threshold of the sword path. Some people can't even formally enter the sword path in their entire lives. Who does this Jiang Deng think she is?"

"Just because you share the same name as the former number one female cultivator in the world of immortal cultivation, do you think you have her talent? That's ridiculous!"

…

Hearing that Duan Chuan looked down on Jiang Deng, everyone quickly followed Duan Chuan's lead.

Maybe if they flattered him loudly enough, the Sword Master would accept their descendants as sword servants just because they were good at flattery?

But no matter what they said, everyone became more curious about Jiang Deng, who had surprised them in the first two levels, and all their eyes were on Jiang Deng.

I wonder what kind of shock this monk named Jiang Deng will bring to them in this stage?

——

Inside the sword disk.

Unlike the previous two levels, the Flame Sword Intent level is particularly special.

What matters is no longer the strength of the sword, but the understanding of fire!

Specifically, it is...

"Jiang Deng, you just arrived and you don't know the rules of the customs clearance yet. Let me explain it to you briefly."

Pei Ranzhi stretched out his hand and pointed at a huge fire burning not far away.

If you look closely, you can see that the ball of fire looks like a flower with five burning petals. In the middle of the pistil, there is a scarlet sword, emitting bursts of burning heat.

"Anyone who can enter this level basically has a strange fire. Only when one's own understanding of fire is stronger can they gain the recognition of the Flame Sword Intent and leave this level."

"We've tried it twice before, and without using the strange fire, we couldn't get close to the Flame Sword Intent."

"So this time, I suggest that everyone activate their own strange fire and fill the surface of their bodies with it to protect themselves, and then try to approach the center with the flame sword intent."

After finishing his brief speech, Pei Ranzhi looked at Jiang Deng and asked, "We are about to take action. Do you want to join us?"

"Sure!"

Jiang Deng nodded, she thought it was quite interesting.

Isn’t it just being roasted by fire?

It was just right that she could take this opportunity to practice body-building exercises to further strengthen her body. Not only would she be able to obtain the Flame Sword Intent, but she could also increase her physical strength. It was like killing two birds with one stone!

The five people stood in front of a petal, ready to move in at any time.

Seeing that he was about to be roasted, Jiang Deng did not feel any psychological burden at all. Instead, he looked around leisurely.

On her left was Chi Lian, and on her right was a boy who looked a bit like Pei Ranzhi, but he was much worse looking than Pei Ranzhi and had a much worse temper.

"What are you looking at! Did I ask you to look at me? If you look again, I'll dig out your dog eyes!"

Pei Huan yelled angrily.

He is Pei Ranzhi's cousin and Pei Er's youngest son. He grew up in luxury and was loved and pampered.

At the same time, his talent for cultivation is also good. Before he is twenty years old, he has already reached the peak of the Jindan realm. Although he is not as amazing as the young master Pei Ranzhi, he is also considered to be the new generation of prodigy of the Pei family.

Being a winner in life at such a young age, it was inevitable that Pei Huan developed an arrogant and domineering personality. He acted like he was the best in the world and everyone was only fit to shine his shoes.

Jiang Deng raised his eyebrows.

This kid has a really bad temper. Seeing him like that, she feels like giving him a lesson...

However, before Jiang Deng could make a move, Pei Huan sensed a terrible murderous intent, as if it was tightening around his neck and could take his life at any time!

It didn't come from Jiang Deng, but from Xiao Chen opposite.

“Help, help…”

Pei Huan, who had always been fearless, looked at Xiao Chen with fear in his eyes.

Especially, when he met Xiao Chen's eyes, he felt as if he was in the underworld, suffering the terrible torture of being devoured by a group of evil spirits!

"Brother Chen, stop!"

Pei Ranzhi quickly pleaded, "My cousin is young and ignorant. I hope Brother Chen can show mercy and spare his life. Pei will definitely let my cousin apologize to you."

Xiao Chen said in a cold voice, "Don't apologize to me, ask him to apologize to Fellow Daoist Jiang!"
