Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible

109 Strange Vacuum Zone of Sword Intent

After being stunned for a moment, Lin Ran suddenly realized that he was not dead. He immediately stood up and grabbed Huo Qiyun’s collar. “Rascal! Didn’t you say you would catch me?”

Huo Qiyun raised his hand in surrender with a bright smile. “Don’t be angry! If I didn’t say that, how would you dare to jump down?”

At the mention of this, Lin Ran suddenly felt a little strange. He quickly squatted down and touched the stone platform. It was cold and hard, like an ordinary stone.

Then why did he feel nothing when he hit it from a height of more than a hundred feet? It was as if all the inertia had disappeared in an instant.

Looking up and seeing Huo Qiyun’s faint smile, Lin Ran frowned. “Do you know what’s going on?”

Huo Qiyun shrugged and suddenly punched the stone platform heavily.

“Damn! Is there something wrong with you?”

Lin Ran was shocked. Although a martial artist’s body was much stronger than an ordinary person’s, that was mainly because of the protection of the internal force.

Now, they could not use their internal force, and their strength had also decreased drastically. Huo Qiyun’s punch was so powerful that at best, his skin and flesh would be lacerated, and at worst, his bones and tendons would be broken!

However, when Lin Ran picked up Huo Qiyun’s hand, he realized that there was only a shallow red mark on it. It wasn’t even bruised.

“What’s going on?”

Lin Ran immediately looked puzzled. As he spoke, he punched the stone platform too. The moment his fist touched the stone platform, he realized that the strength he exerted seemed to have disappeared.

“I’m not sure about the exact reason, but this thing seems to be able to absorb force.”

Huo Qiyun stomped his feet. Clearly, he was referring to the stone platform under their feet.

“Besides…”

Huo Qiyun spoke again and looked at Lin Ran excitedly. “Didn’t you notice anything different here?”

Lin Ran looked around. Actually, from just now, he had felt that something was different around him, but when he wanted to find what was the difference, he realized that he had no clue.

He originally thought that it was just his illusion, but he did not expect Huo Qiyun to have the same feeling.

“Is it this stone platform?”

Lin Ran probed. This stone platform seemed to be able to absorb power and emit a halo. From a certain perspective, it was considered “abnormal”.

Huo Qiyun shook his head and said, “The sword intent in the middle of this space is even more ferocious than in Mount Sword. We don’t have internal force to protect us now, but we’re still fine.”

Hearing this, Lin Ran immediately felt enlightened. “Is this stone platform devoid of Sword Intent?”

Huo Qiyun nodded slightly with a solemn expression.

This expression that seemed to belong to an adult made Huo Qiyun look strangely comical. However, Lin Ran was no longer in the mood to mock him because this discovery was too shocking!

In this world, sword intent was almost omnipresent like air. The only difference was the intensity.

Lin Ran was already used to being in the sword intent. Now that the sword intent suddenly disappeared, it was as if all the air had suddenly disappeared. However, he could still breathe.

But that was impossible.

Just as the air would not suddenly disappear, and neither would the sword intent.

With Lin Ran’s current cultivation, he could disperse sword intent within a certain range to cause this phenomenon, but it would only last for a short time.

Because of the existence of those old and dilapidated weapons, the sword intent in the air was even more intense than in the depths of Mount Sword. Even he could not create this “vacuum of sword intent” phenomenon

Therefore, when Lin Ran discovered this situation, his first reaction was suspicion. However, when he saw Huo Qiyun, he knew that he had to believe it.

After knowing that internal force would trigger the attack of the mysterious creature in the black water pool, Lin Ran had a question.

The sword intent here was so fierce that even if he was a Half-Saint, he would be injured by it if he did not use his internal force to resist, let alone Huo Qiyun who was only at the peak of the Senior Martial Master Realm.

If Huo Qiyun couldn’t use internal force, he would have died long ago.

The only explanation was that it was indeed true that Sword Intent couldn’t approach this stone platform.

“At first, I didn’t believe it either because when I first came to this space, I felt that terrifying sword intent myself.”

As Huo Qiyun spoke, he tugged at his collar and revealed a helpless smile. “Even if I used all my strength, I couldn’t withstand it at all.”

Lin Ran looked over and saw a few fresh blood stains on Huo Qiyun’s collar. It seemed that he was right. As soon as Huo Qiyun arrived in this space, he was immediately injured by the sword intent.

“I came from that place.”

Huo Qiyun pointed in a direction in the darkness. “After I was injured, I fell onto this stone platform. At that time, I didn’t know what was going on. I immediately circulated my internal force to heal myself, and then I was attacked by something in the water…”

“Wait a minute!”

Lin Ran suddenly said, “You said you came out of that place? Then why did you fall on the stone platform? You should have fallen straight into the water.”

“That’s the second thing I am about to say.”

Huo Qiyun patted the stone platform. “I don’t know why, but this thing is active. It has been moving along a certain route. Before you arrived, I had already seen the shore from several different directions.”

“Then why didn’t you…”

Lin Ran subconsciously wanted to ask why Huo Qiyun didn’t go ashore. As soon as he spoke, he remembered that there was no way out of this space before he came, and Huo Qiyun couldn’t leave even if he went ashore. Instead, Huo Qiyun would be injured by the ferocious sword intent, so he raised his hand and gestured for Huo Qiyun to continue.

Huo Qiyun rolled his eyes. “Later on, I realized that as long as I don’t use internal force above the pool, the things in the water will be quiet.”

“As for this… let’s call it the stone platform for the time being. There’s no sword intent in this place. You know that my cultivation level is not high enough. I’ll be injured by the sword intent if I go out, so I might as well wait here… I think the life-saving straw might be left behind by the person who set up the array formation back then.”

Lin Ran blinked. “Life-saving straw? Just because it can move?”

Huo Qiyun looked at Lin Ran as if he was looking at an idiot. “It has nothing to do with whether it can move or not. This life-saving straw is the only chance we can get out of the array formation.”

Lin Ran nodded in understanding and shook his head firmly. “You’re wrong. This is not a life-saving straw. There is no chance of survival in this space.”

“How do you know so much?”

When Huo Qiyun heard this, his expression turned cold. A cold light flashed across his waist, and a sharp sword was placed at Lin Ran’s throat. “Who exactly are you?!”
