Xie Zhou began to contemplate carefully. Unexpectedly, the first sect leader, who lived so long ago, appeared before him as if he were a living person. Moreover, his face had sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and a straight, narrow nose, making him a handsome man.
Looking at his refined and cultured appearance, it was hard to associate him with the image of the first sect leader that Xie Zhou had initially imagined. She thought he would be an old man with the qualities of an immortal, except that he had a full white beard and looked like he was in his twilight years.
But she never expected to see such a stunningly beautiful man. Xie Zhou couldn't help but sigh that there must have been quite a few handsome men back then, and she had certainly had a feast for the eyes.
Her thoughts gradually strayed from their original path, and she was almost about to rush directly in front of the guard. She still had to be careful about her drooling mouth.
The system couldn't stand Xie Zhou's infatuated state any longer and immediately reminded him, "Host! Host! Wipe the drool from your mouth, it's almost falling to the ground. This is not the time to indulge in beauty. Now you need to defeat the consciousness left behind by the first sect master of the Sword Sect. You've only just broken through these three trials. Passing the trials will allow you to obtain the power of inheritance. Don't forget this, don't let it be delayed!"
Xie Zhou actually made a clear distinction, but of course she wanted to take a few more glances at such beautiful things. However, the fighting spirit in her eyes did not diminish at all. After all, the power of inheritance and beauty were simply incomparable. Of course, she would choose strength over power. After all, she could distinguish between the two. However, once the consciousness was defeated, it would dissipate.
She quickly averted her gaze and replied in her mind, "System, don't worry, I can tell the difference. I just wanted to steal a few glances. I still want to obtain this power of inheritance."
That's always been her thought, otherwise she wouldn't have persisted until now.
The system, however, was somewhat disdainful. It thought to itself that it hadn't expected the final level of the third trial to be so bewitching. Indeed, the figure materialized from the consciousness of the first sect leader of the Sword Sect was extremely handsome.
"This time I dare not slack off again!"
The person in front of them had a strange smile on their face, and a sword had appeared in their hand.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle, so Xie Zhou asked the system as usual what it had detected about the opponent's strength.
"System, why don't you hurry up and check just how powerful this so-called sect leader really is?"
However, she had a basic assessment in her mind. After all, the first sect master of the Sword Sect was able to control the sword energy with ease, and the sword energy could become the master of this place of inheritance that people yearn for. His strength must be even higher than hers. He must have already reached the pinnacle. His consciousness must also have a lot of power. He was a formidable opponent.
She dared not encounter it, and was careless.
After all, the real powerhouse is the one who makes the grand finale appearance.
Without saying a word, Xie Zhou immediately activated her Life Sword Intent and the Power of All Beings. After all, only with the Power of All Beings by her side could she feel at ease.
Facing such a formidable opponent, with the power of all living beings, one can more quickly comprehend the sword intent emanating from him and also enhance one's own strength. Isn't this a win-win situation?
The system replied as soon as the question was sent: "We have detected that the opponent's strength is unpredictable and the situation is unpredictable. Please be careful, host. The system will be able to determine his strength more accurately when you fight him."
"All right."
Xie Zhou was helpless. After all, the system had always been like this. Whenever it encountered a situation where the strength was beyond its imagination and unpredictable, it would not be able to give her a satisfactory answer in a short time. In fact, saying this was almost the same as not saying anything at all.
Xie Zhou could sense it herself, because the other party was opening up her spiritual power, and waves of auras that did not belong to the surroundings were attacking her. Of course, she was not to be outdone, and she also opened up her spiritual power, combined with the power of all living beings, and there was a trend of her forcefully suppressing him to stand out.
The two stared at each other, unsure who would make the first move. However, as the two were circling each other, the first sect leader of the Sword Sect swung the Ruthless Sword directly at Xie Zhou's face. Xie Zhou instantly felt the incoming sword energy.
She quickly dodged the attack by sidestepping, and then drew her peerless sword.
"Ping ping..."
Amidst the clash of swords, the two sides were evenly matched.
Xie Zhou blocked the man's sword as he swung it from the side, then turned and flipped over him to his back. Without hesitation, Xie Zhou thrust his sword into the man's back.
But it seemed he was oblivious, still standing there motionless. As Xie Zhou watched his sword defeat him, a slight smile appeared on his face.
However, he was soon taken aback. His sword seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't pierce the body of that consciousness no matter what he did. Soon, Xie Zhou saw that the consciousness turned around and used his hands to control a sword intent to block the attack for him.
At this moment, the system reminded Xie Zhou, "I didn't expect that the first sect master of the Sword Sect comprehended the Ruthless Sword Intent. The sword intent within it is very intricate and extremely powerful. Host, please be very careful."
The sword still failed to pierce flesh. She continued to increase her strength and added the power of all living beings. It seemed that the barrier formed around her was about to dissipate, but the consciousness seemed to have anticipated this and dodged the sword in advance. Then the two sides began a stalemate.
The two exchanged blows time and again, each displaying their so-called sword energy and sword intent to the fullest. Xie Zhou clenched his fist slightly. What should he do?
