Lucas snorted, but he was somewhat tempted. He also wanted to test whether these things from the mythical era could withstand the bombardment of modern firearms.
However, he also knew that the shoulder-fired rocket was his only trump card at the moment. Once he used it, he would become a fish on the chopping block, at the mercy of others. But he also wanted to see what was under this Sword Mountain.
Wang Hao, who was at the back, found it laughable. This was something left behind by the Sword Ancestor. Although it had existed for hundreds of millions of years, it was definitely not something that could be countered by technology.
Moreover, there might be nothing at the foot of this sword mountain, because he had already figured out that the most precious thing on this sword mountain should be the sword embryo at the top.
Unfortunately, this group of people did not recognize the sword embryo at all, and such sword mountains all require passing tests and gaining the sword mountain's recognition in order to obtain some inheritance.
It is impossible to break the sword mountain with external force.
Just as he was feeling contemptuous, the three forces in front of him actually gathered together, and then, for some unknown reason, they joined forces to climb the mountain together.
"Wang Hao, why don't we take this opportunity to leave? I think there must be more than one way out, maybe we've missed something."
Shi Mengqi felt uneasy. Although she was a martial artist, her mindset had not changed. She had lived in a high-tech environment since she was a child.
Now, seeing so many unknown and incomprehensible sights and things, it's hard to accept for a while.
Looking at Shi Mengqi's worried face, Wang Hao slowly shook his head and solemnly said, "In the future, even more bizarre and wonderful things will happen."
"You need to learn to face it. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt you. In fact, I'll take you to the highest peak in the world to witness even more magnificent scenery."
Shi Mengqi stared at him blankly. At this moment, Wang Hao seemed to have a flame in his eyes, a flame that inexplicably calmed her restless heart.
"Okay, I believe you."
A moment later, Shi Mengqi exhaled a breath of warm air, no longer panicked or afraid. She also wanted to see the kind of world that Wang Hao had described.
Wang Hao smiled slightly, then turned his head to look at the Sword Mountain. He had a premonition that the sword embryo was very likely the Sword Ancestor's immortal sword, or at least very similar.
At the same time, he also decided to bring Shi Mengqi into the ranks of cultivators, so that she could cultivate both immortality and martial arts like him. Perhaps in the future, she could break through the limits, who knows?
Just as the two were getting tired of each other, the exploration organization, Red Moon, and the black market joined forces and began climbing the mountain. They formed a circle and were on guard against their surroundings.
They fired directly with energy guns, shattering the longsword into pieces before it could even fly up on its own, creating a deafening roar.
Wang Hao, standing some distance away, was stunned. For a moment, he even began to doubt whether this was really the Sword Immortal Temple. However, he picked up a piece of the flying fragment.
Only then did they realize that the spiritual energy contained in these swords had been almost completely exhausted. After hundreds of millions of years, the immortal energy had been lost, and they were only slightly harder than ordinary iron alloys.
This left Wang Hao feeling somewhat uneasy. It seemed that no matter could withstand the ravages of time, and even immortals did not have an endless lifespan.
Every era, immortals undergo a tribulation; only those who survive the tribulation can live on.
"Boom!"
At that moment, with a loud bang, Lucas finally carried out the rocket. With this shot, at least a hundred flying swords were blown to pieces.
"Hmph, what myth? There's nothing that rocket artillery can't solve. If there is, then fire another one." Lucas was in high spirits, his smugness overflowing.
They have now advanced about a third of the way. The entire mountain of swords is littered with weapon fragments, but as they go deeper, the longswords that fly out become increasingly hard.
Some can even withstand two or three shots without breaking, and instead charge into the crowd, bringing with them a large amount of bloodshed.
They originally intended to blast a cave directly at the foot of the mountain, but Yin Yi had obviously also discovered the sword embryo on the mountaintop, and there were six longswords around the sword embryo.
These six longswords looked extraordinary. As the sword mountain was attacked, their blades emitted an eerie light and burst forth with soaring sword intent.
Wang Hao was too far away to see clearly, but he could vaguely make out that the six swords had inexplicable patterns on their blades, emanating different Daoist charms.
At this moment, Sword Mountain was already stained red with blood. The three groups of people were risking their lives to clear a path. Although they did not know how to leave this place, at least by climbing Sword Mountain, they could see the terrain.
As for their previous idea of using firearms to blast open Sword Mountain, they had long forgotten about it. Although firearms are common in modern times, who wouldn't want to possess a powerful weapon?
Clearly, the sword atop Sword Mountain is a divine weapon, and one might even gain some powerful inheritance from it.
Even a master like Chi Tu had suffered numerous minor injuries, his body covered in sword wounds of varying depths, despite his martial arts cultivation having reached the Profound Realm.
As for the cultivation of the Breathing Technique, it is definitely stronger than martial arts cultivation, since those who can join the exploration organization must be those who specialize in the Breathing Technique.
There were only two people in the room that Wang Hao couldn't quite figure out: one was Chi Tu, and the other was Yin Yi, the young master of the black market. He always wore a mask, so his facial expression was not visible.
However, judging from his physique and reaction speed, his true strength may not be inferior to Akatsuchi, making him a formidable opponent.
"Be careful, there are more and more swords around us. Get your grenades ready and throw them during the reload!" Chi Tu said solemnly. They had already reached the mountainside.
The swords here are even more formidable. Hundreds of longswords soar into the sky, forming a sword array, and then fall rapidly from above like a torrential downpour, without leaving any gaps.
"Boom boom boom!"
Dozens of grenades exploded in mid-air, while energy guns swept below, but even so, more than a dozen longswords still pierced through the smoke and attacked downwards.
"Puff puff puff!"
For a moment, various muffled groans and howls echoed in the sky above Sword Mountain, and severed limbs were scattered all over the ground. Blood gathered into streams and flowed towards the foot of the mountain.
Those who were lucky ended up crippled, while those who were unlucky were beheaded with a single sword strike, their blood gushing out like a fountain. From afar, it looked as if blood rained down on Sword Mountain.
Even so, it still couldn't stop the three groups. Lucas was already in a killing frenzy, so he took out his last three rockets and started bombarding the area in front of him.
Seeing this, Chi Tu and Yin Yi no longer held back. The former took out dozens of grenade launchers, while the latter took out an assembled energy cannon and blasted it towards the mountaintop.
"Boom!"
Sword Mountain was engulfed in flames in an instant. The energy cannon was ridiculously powerful, blasting a piece off the mountaintop and reducing nearly a thousand flying swords to dust.
