Xiu Qiyu's ascent to the eighth floor caused an even greater sensation than Ye Xiruo's, mainly because his speed was simply too fast.

While his fellow disciples were still struggling on the third level, he was already fighting with ease on the eighth level.

So far, no one has been thrown out. Xiu Qiyu is on the eighth floor, two people are on the fourth floor, one person is on the fifth floor, and one person is on the third floor. The swordsmen who entered this batch are quite powerful.

While fighting the sword slaves, Xiu Qiyu was also comprehending deeper levels of swordsmanship, and the Shadowless Sword in his hand began to move with rhythm. Each time he struck, he was able to perfectly block the sword slaves' swords. Once or twice could be considered an accident, but eight or ten times, it showed that Xiu Qiyu truly understood their attack patterns and had a proper way to deal with them.

For Xiu Qiyu, this Sword Tower was more like a trial than an opportunity to shock the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Xiu Qiyu was immersed in the sword technique, constantly comprehending it. His aura became somewhat ethereal, as if it were both real and illusory.

Time seemed to drag on at this moment. They had already reached the eighth level. Everyone was on tenterhooks, wondering if Xiu Qiyu could pass through the eighth level, enter the ninth level, and break Ye Xiruo's record.

As for the four swordsmen below, they had long been forgotten by them, though some of them had performed quite well and had already reached the sixth level. It seemed they were still persevering and fighting on.

Xiu Qiyu naturally did not disappoint them. Two hours later, Xiu Qiyu appeared on the ninth floor. The sword formation composed of fourteen late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators immediately unleashed a barrage of powerful attacks. Xiu Qiyu did not hesitate either, directly countering their powerful attacks with an enhanced version of Ten Thousand Swords Unleashed.

It was this move that sent Little Leaf World flying out. A cold glint flashed in Xiu Qiyu's eyes, and countless tiny black snowflakes began to drift around the Shadowless Sword in his hand, emitting a ghostly blue light.

Xiu Qiyu moved. He was very fast, and his whole body almost turned into a white figure, constantly colliding with the fourteen late-stage Nascent Soul sword slaves.

Of course, they were using the same moves as the eighth-level sword slaves, so they quickly figured out their routines and began to counterattack one by one.

Xiu Qiyu is not like Ye Xiruo, a pure swordsman. Under normal circumstances, his earth-shattering attacks are difficult to resist. Even if the fourteen sword slaves cooperated well and could share the damage, they still could not withstand Xiu Qiyu's sword for long.

More than an hour later, the fourteen late-stage Nascent Soul sword slaves died under Xiu Qiyu's sword. Xiu Qiyu also became the first swordsman of the Heavenly Sword Sect to reach the tenth level.

The two elders' eyes shone with excitement, knowing they hadn't misjudged him. This cold-blooded swordsman was a force to be reckoned with when he made a move, and when he did, it was enough to shock the world.

The pressure exerted on Xiu Qiyu by the sixteen early-stage Mahayana cultivators on the tenth level was obvious. However, as a swordsman, how could he easily back down? Xiu Qiyu, wielding Wuying, once again engaged the sixteen sword slaves in battle.

These sword slaves are getting faster and faster, and there are more variations in those familiar sword moves. The coordination between the sword slaves is also becoming more seamless, making it almost impossible for anyone to find an opportunity to counterattack.

This turned into Xiu Qiyu taking on a group of Mahayana cultivators of the same cultivation level. Within the entire ninth level of the sword tower, sword energy crisscrossed, and the figures of the dozen or so people could not be seen at all.

Those attacks that could easily destroy the world in the outside world were mysteriously absorbed by the Sword Tower. Therefore, it's not unreasonable for many of them to suspect that the Sword Tower is actually another divine artifact of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

If the previous battle was a complete suppression of the sword slave by Xiu Qiyu, then this battle is a true evenly matched contest.

The sword techniques he had previously learned from the Sword Tower were no match for the sixteen sword slaves. Xiu Qiyu used almost all the skills he had learned in his life to fight the sixteen sword slaves to the death.

The inherited sword techniques obtained from the ancient domain were gradually mastered by Xiu Qiyu, along with the sword techniques he himself comprehended, as he fought against the sixteen sword slaves.

As it stands, Xiu Qiyu has barely managed to block the attacks of the sixteen sword slaves, and it will be difficult for him to mount an effective counterattack in the short term.

It's already quite difficult to kill a Nascent Soul cultivator directly, let alone a Mahayana cultivator. Moreover, these Mahayana cultivators can share the damage.

Unless we unleash a powerful area-of-effect attack that severely injures all sixteen sword slaves, we will face their combined assault once again.

The battle lasted a long time, long enough that the swordsmen who were thrown out of the Sword Tower yesterday had regained their senses, and long enough that Ye Xiruo in the Divine Chariot opened her eyes and walked out directly.

The tenth floor... As expected of Brother Xiu Qi! I hope Brother Xiu Qi can successfully reach the eleventh floor. Judging from the current situation, Ye Xiruo doesn't seem to be feeling any discomfort, which means Brother Xiu Qi is currently doing well.

Thinking of the sword slaves and sword formations in the Sword Tower, Brother Xiu Qi should be able to learn more from them, and that's enough.

After she returns this time, she will try to get Senior Brother Zishu to try out the Sword Tower as well. Senior Brother Zishu will definitely like this Sword Tower.

I don't know if the eldest brother finally agreed to cultivate with Elder Meng. The main reason is that the eldest brother's talent is truly heaven-defying. The seventh brother was born with sword bones and is a sword prodigy, destined to become a sword cultivator.

Her divine master bloodline only grants her a unique advantage in alchemy, making her a formidable opponent for many. Her senior brother's ethereal body, on the other hand, is all-encompassing, boosting all attributes.

Just like yesterday, only Xiu Qiyu remained in the Sword Tower, still persevering. The two elders showed no emotion on their faces, but they were equally nervous inside. They had both passed the tenth floor and knew how difficult it was. To be honest, they had no confidence at all that Xiu Qiyu could pass the tenth floor.

“He will definitely pass,” Ye Xiruo said directly.

How can you be so sure?

"I trust my judgment; the guardian I've chosen can't possibly fail."

"Master Ye, you're serious, it's definitely Xiu Qiyu."

“I’m serious. I’ve been committed to him since yesterday.”

What happened yesterday? Wait, the moment Xiao Danshi was thrown down, Xiu Qiyu flew up and rescued her. Is it because of this heroic rescue that Xiao Danshi now sees Xiu Qiyu differently and immediately chooses him? That's absurd, too childish. How can such a serious matter as choosing a protector be decided so casually?
