As one of the first people to enter Dieshan, Shangguan Hong naturally entered the real Dieshan very quickly.

She did not choose the Strength Test Mountain or the Body Forging Mountain, because she knew that she was not suitable for these two trials. However, the Perception Mountain, which tests one's reaction and observation, was very suitable for a swordsman like Shangguan Hong who emphasized absolute precision.

As she stepped onto the path leading to the Observation Mountain, her vision shrank instantly. Shangguan Hong frowned, and she found that her vision and hearing were greatly weakened when she stepped onto this land. In other words, something was absorbing light and sound, blocking her from observing the surroundings.

This is the Observation Mountain.

At this time, Shangguan Hong realized that the essence of sensing the mountain is to weaken the five senses. When the five senses are weakened, people are most vulnerable and may even lose their ability to move. If an ordinary person came here, he would probably see nothing but darkness, hear nothing, have no sense of touch, and smell nothing, and even lose himself in panic.

Her fingers lightly brushed the sword's edge, and the slight pain made Shangguan Hong a little solemn. She realized that the restrictions of the mountain were more rigorous than she thought, and would be adjusted accordingly based on the strength of the person entering.

For example, among the techniques that Shangguan Hong practiced, there was a technique called "Eyes in the Heart", which enhanced vision to the extreme. However, if one was in the perception mountain, this blessing would be greatly weakened. And the pain sense that Shangguan Hong trusted was also pitifully rare at this time.

Shangguan Hong found that she might be wrong. Perceiving the Mountain did not seem to be a test of her "perception ability", but a test of whether she could remain calm and sober enough after losing her perception ability.

Forget it, let's make peace with it now.

In the perception mountain, not only the five senses are affected, in fact, this effect is extremely serious, including the strength of holding the sword and the perception of the sword edge. Shangguan Hong tried it, she can only perform the simplest few sword moves now, and it is difficult to perform stronger ones.

Shangguan Hong was very alert as she groped her way forward. She had heard from some people in the square that the challenges of Dieshan were always accompanied by "enemies". These enemies could be inner demons or phantoms...

Heart demon.

Thinking of these two words, Shangguan Hong felt a sense of depression and repression lingering in her chest. She knew that she had a demon in her heart, and she also knew why her Gongsun swordsmanship could not reach the final realm.

But she couldn't win.

The road in the dense forest is very wide, so wide that it makes people lose their way. There is only one way up the mountain, and this one way is enough to cut off many people's thoughts.

Looking up and vaguely looking at the end of the road, Shangguan Hong sighed softly.

This road is very lonely, and few people choose to go to the mountain because the difficulty of this road is much higher than the other two. Before entering the mountain, other disciples of the sect will receive some reminders from their elders. Unfortunately, Shangguan Hong no longer has any elders.

She only has herself and the sword in her hand.

My ankles scraped through the weeds and dew fell on the ground.

Draw the sword, turn around, and stab forward.

The simple movement was a little clumsy, as if it was the first time he was practicing swordplay. But this strike also blocked the incoming long sword and pushed it aside.

Shangguan Hong turned her head and looked at the people who surrounded her, with a cold look in her eyes.

"You are worthy of being the heir of Gongsun."

The leader had a handsome face and a well-proportioned figure. He looked like a modest gentleman in a long robe. Wearing the gold and jade pendant of Jianzhuang, Zheng Huanyu looked at the girl in front of him with a smile and said gently: "It is indeed a master's sword. It can be so accurate under such conditions."

Shangguan Hong didn't even ask, she just swung the sword in her hand, and a cold light flashed across Zheng Huanyu's throat.

The short sword parried Shangguan Hong's sword with a bit of misalignment, and then the long sword in his hand slashed towards Shangguan Hong's ankle like a venomous snake. Shangguan Hong subconsciously dodged and stabbed back, but because he didn't know the distance well, the stab barely missed.

The disciple of Jianzhuang at the side immediately stepped forward and stabbed with his sword. Shangguan Hong immediately stabilized his body, cut off the attacking sword at an incredible angle, and then stepped forward and slashed, forcing the disciple back.

"Miss Shangguan, you have such a hot temper, it's not good for your health."

Zheng Huanyu still had that smiling face, but there was undisguised gloom and greed in his eyes, "Why don't we have a good talk?" Shangguan Hong turned sideways in silence, with the Han Eight-sided Sword hanging on the ground, but no one dared to attack Shangguan Hong at this time.

"Your sword was aimed at my tendon just now."

Looking at Zheng Huanyu who looked like a smiling tiger, Shangguan Hong said calmly: "There are three hidden spikes on your sword. If you cut my wrist, you can break my tendons. You dare to talk to him with such a despicable method. Your face is not worth much."

"hehe."

Zheng Huanyu smiled noncommittally, then put down his sword, put his hands behind his back, and said defenselessly: "Now, Miss Shangguan, you can pierce my throat with one sword, can we have a good talk?"

Although this was the case, Shangguan Hong could sense that several people around him had already taken two steps forward. As long as he wanted to attack Zheng Huanyu, the others would definitely have a chance to kill him in advance.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Shangguan Hong asked calmly.

"Miss Shangguan, do you know my Jianzhuang?"

Zheng Huanyu asked.

"I don't know."

Shangguan Hong said coldly.

The disciple of Jianzhuang standing nearby suddenly became anxious and shouted, "You don't even know Jianzhuang? And you still dare to practice sword?!"

"Hey, don't be like this."

Zheng Huanyu stopped the disciple from speaking and said with a smile: "Ms. Shangguan is the heir of the secret sect, so you must not be rude to her."

After clearing his throat, Zheng Huanyu looked at Shangguan Hong and said slowly, "All sword techniques in the world belong to Jianzhuang. Jianzhuang has tens of thousands of swords, and the sword techniques are also in Jianzhuang. This time, I want to invite you to join Jianzhuang. What do you think?"

"condition?"

Shangguan Hong asked.

"Gongsun Sword Technique."

Zheng Huanyu said kindly, "You are not from the Gongsun family, so those people will naturally not regard you as a legitimate successor. If I guess correctly, you have been secretly hunted down since you left the mountain gate, right? If you are willing to come to my sword manor, you will not only be protected, but also enjoy resources that the Gongsun family cannot afford in their lifetime. The sword manor can also leave another sword technique to prevent the Gongsun sword technique from being lost in the world. Preserving this sword technique is the best of both worlds. How do you think?"

The moment the words fell, the Eight-sided Han Sword cut off the sword of the Jianzhuang disciple. With the flash of fire, Shangguan Hong's sword tip directly picked up the attacking dagger.

This is the only answer.

Zheng Huanyu sighed seemingly with regret, but the greed in his eyes became even stronger.

What Jianzhuang wants is not people, but swordsmanship.

Looking at the eight-sided Han sword in Shangguan Hong's hand, Zheng Huanyu's hands were ready to move.

I want a sword. (End of this chapter)
