"Okay, the state of life and death has taken effect, if the two of them fight, then they will see life and death, and others must not interfere. ”

After the Sword Saint finished speaking, the two old ladies Ye Lao and Yang Lao snorted coldly, Gu Yan and Zheng Dao's faces were also a little not good-looking, the battle between Qin Fan and Jian Xin seemed to him to be just a competition between juniors, but he didn't expect the Sword Saint, Jian Xin's master and apprentice to be so serious, this amount of heart is really no one.

After a while, the Sword Saint announced the way to conduct this guardian assessment, pointed to the endless ladder in front of him, and said: "This is the guardian ladder, only those who can truly stand at the top of the ladder are qualified to become the guardians of the hot summer, so you two must do your best to climb to the top of the ladder, and during the climbing, you must not interfere with each other." ”

"If neither of you can climb to the top of the ladder, or only one of you succeeds in reaching the top, then there is no need for the battle between the two of you to continue, the person who succeeds in reaching the top will be the new guardian this time, but if you both succeed in reaching the top, then you will have to fight a decisive battle at the top of the ladder, and the winner will become the new guardian, do you understand?"

After he finished speaking, Jian Xin nodded and responded respectfully, while Qin Fan just snorted back, but the Sword Saint didn't pay attention to him, and waved his hand violently, announcing the start of the assessment.

As the assessment began, the Sword Master asked the two of them to take out the name certificate first, and they needed to be tested before they could climb the ladder.

The sword heart was naturally taken out of the human head of the immortal soul, and Qin Fan looked at the human head whose top had been smashed by a heavy object, and his face was covered with dried blood, and his heart sank slightly.

When he was in the Sword Sect before, he had seen the power of Soul Immortality with his own eyes, but he didn't expect to end up so miserably now.

Coupled with the one Soul Saint he destroyed before, now there is only one of the Three Saints of the Soul Sect left, and that powerful combination of combat skills can no longer be released, and the Soul Sect can be regarded as completely defeated, and the once famous Three Saints of the Soul Sect are no longer worthy of their name.

"Well, this is indeed a human head with an immortal soul, a god-level powerhouse, and it can be used as a vote. ”

After the Sword Saint finished speaking, Jian Xin also smiled, and then looked at Qin Fan, as if he wanted to see what kind of goods he could come up with.

"Tsk, it's a coincidence, Soul Immortal is a traitor to the cultivation realm, and he also defected to the ghost organization and was finally killed by you, and the character I killed was also a traitor to the cultivation realm, and he also defected to the ghost organization, take a look. ”

As he spoke, Qin Fan threw a withered human head on the ground, and everyone looked at it fixedly, and they all narrowed their eyes, that's right, it was Shangguan's undefeated human head!

Although Shangguan Undefeated was not the guardian of Yanxia before, as the patriarch of the big family that was the second largest in the Yanxia Eight family, several guardians present were quite familiar with him.

Seeing his head now, it can be regarded as relieving everyone's sullen breath.

"That's right, this is the head of Shangguan Old Thief, the same god-level powerhouse, as a vote, there is no problem at all. Gu Yan nodded and said softly, and everyone naturally had no opinions.

It's just that the gazes that looked at Jian Xin and Qin Fan were a little weird, these two young men both relied on the cultivation of the Heavenly and Human Realm to kill god-level powerhouses, and they were all Tianjiao who fought beyond the level, and they should have a great future, but today, they had to share life and death.

"Alas, no matter who these two die, it is a rather regrettable thing! ”

"Okay, this is a matter between two little guys, let's not interject, the cultivation realm is a place where the fittest is survival of the fittest, and the winner is king. ”

“......”

After everyone sighed for a while, Qin Fan and Jian Xin also prepared to climb the ladder.

Before climbing the ladder, Jian Xin didn't forget to look back at Qin Fan, sneered, raised his hand and swiped lightly on his neck, making a very provocative decapitation action, and Qin Fan didn't pay attention to him, and after laughing disdainfully, he nodded to Yang Lao, Ye Lao, Zheng Dao, and Gu Yan, and finally his figure flashed, and he rushed towards the so-called ladder in front of him.

Since the first task was to reach the top, Qin Fan thought about trying to see if the Heavenly Domain could be used here, if it could be used, it would mean that he could instantly reach the top by shuttling through space.

However, when the crystal light in Qin Fan's left eye lit up, and the whole person fled into the void, he only felt a huge anti-shock force in front of him, and he was stunned and blasted himself back to the bottom of the ladder.

"! What the is going on?"

Qin Fan muttered while rubbing his aching chest, while Jian Xin, who was beside him, chuckled and said, "I really think that here, your little trick is still useful? If you want to reach the top, you must rely on strong strength, I am waiting for you above, of course, if you want to avoid fighting and live, you can not go to the top." ”

As he spoke, Kenshin stepped up the second stone staircase and paused slightly for a few seconds, followed by the third, the fourth, and the fifth......

"Let me avoid the war? hehe, I don't know where you got the courage from. ”

After saying it funny, Qin Fan also took a step forward, and when he felt that there seemed to be an invisible pressure falling from a high altitude, it was like carrying a thousand catties of boulder, and Qin Fan could feel that if the foundation was not solid, even a god-level powerhouse would fall to the ground under this pressure!

"This ladder is really a bit of a doorway. ”

After saying another secret sentence in his heart, Qin Fan also took another step forward, with each step, he would feel the pressure on his body increase, although it was not as terrifying as a geometric multiple, but the growth was not small, so that when Qin Fan came to the hundredth stone staircase, he had already left a shallow footprint on the stone staircase.

And next to the footprints left by Qin Fan, there were countless footprints, which must have come from those trialists who participated in the assessment in the past.

One hundred and one, one hundred and two, one hundred and three...... Two hundred and sixty-five, three hundred and sixty-seven, four hundred!

When he came to the 400th stone steps, Qin Fan was already sweating profusely, his long hair was all soaked with sweat, and his body began to tremble slightly.

At this moment, he only felt that his two legs, two arms, and his entire body were as heavy as being filled with lead, and it took a lot of effort to sell each step, and the true yuan in his body was completely useless, relying only on this body and the inner physical strength.

"Drink!"

Day and night passed, Qin Fan didn't know that this was the first time he had made a few bursts, and after the burst, the whole person seemed to have been beaten with a tube of chicken blood, his eyes were red and he stepped up again, and he stepped on dozens of stone steps in a row, and finally saw the figure of Kenshin in front of him.

Since Qin Fan started to climb the ladder until now, five days and five nights have passed unconsciously.

Jian Xin, who was gasping violently in one mouth, seemed to feel something, glanced back at Qin Fan, raised his hand with difficulty and pointed to the platform in front of him, and said, "There are a total of five hundred steps in this ladder, and I am now on the four hundred and ninety-ninth steps, as long as I take one step forward, I can reach the top." ”

Hearing this, Qin Fan snorted, immediately opened his legs again, and with a burst of "Knock Dong!" sounded, he crossed several stone platforms to Jian Xin's side, and then smiled provocatively at him.

"Now, I'm just one step away, and I'm confident that I'll take that last step before you do. ”

"Drink!"

I only heard Jian Xin's loud shout, and his two hands tightly grasped the giant sword that had been inserted on the stone steps to stabilize his body, and at the same time slowly raised his right foot, little by little, tentatively placed on the five hundredth stone steps!

However, after only lasting for a while, he retracted his feet again, for no other reason, the pressure contained in the 500th stone step was really too great!

Seeing this, Qin Fan laughed, and then the crystal light flashed in his eyes, and his whole body suddenly shone brightly, and four pairs of wings actually ejected from behind him, which was simply a miniature version of the Xuan Immortal Body!

"Hehe, Kenshin, you show me a good look, the master went up first, if you are afraid of death and want to avoid the battle, then I advise you that it is better not to step on this last stone step, this time the guardian quota, I will decide." ”

Saying that, Qin Fan's spirit and spirit all over his body at this moment also merged together, and he took the last step rudely and simply, the fifth hundredth step, to the top!

When he saw the scene when Qin Fan's back disappeared, Jian Xin looked unwilling, although the order of climbing to the top did not mean anything, but this really hit his heart.

"Qin Fan, you have really become stronger, and moreover, you are even stronger than I thought! But this is also good, a life-and-death battle with you in this state can stimulate my fighting spirit and potential even more!"

Buzzing......

And when Qin Fan successfully reached the top, all the pressure he had received before suddenly dissipated into nothingness, which was not much different from what Qin Fan thought in his heart, otherwise, in this kind of heavy pressure situation, let alone fighting with Jian Xin, I am afraid that it would be difficult to move an inch.

After the pressure disappeared, Qin Fan also felt inexplicably relaxed, as if some untraceable impurities that had existed in the depths of his body before had been crushed under the strong pressure before, and his entire physical fitness had been further improved, and his skills were better than before.

"Hehe, the fame in this ladder is really not small, and the reward for successfully reaching the top is not comparable to some extremely high-grade elixirs. ”

After Qin Fan just muttered, he heard a loud explosion not far away, the giant sword was slammed into the top of the ladder, and the sword heart also climbed up little by little, and when it climbed up, the whole person seemed to collapse, plus the pressure disappeared suddenly, and he collapsed directly to the ground.

"Tsk, with your current prostration appearance, can you still fight? If not, then you just need to say a word begging for mercy in front of me, and I can ignore the previous suspicions and automatically invalidate the life and death certificate we signed before, how about it?"

Hearing this, Jian Xin suddenly tilted his head and spat on it, and a carp stood up and raised the Juque Sword and pointed directly at Qin Fan, saying, "Don't talk nonsense with me, I have been looking forward to this battle for a long time, and I am still counting on using your blood to wash away the shame I lost to you before, how can I give up?"

Immediately, the smile on Qin Fan's face disappeared abruptly, and he also showed a cold look, he really didn't expect that Jian Xin's killing intent towards him would be so strong.

At the same time, below the ladder, Sword Saint, Gu Yan, Zheng Dao, and the other guardians, Ye Lao and Yang Lao, the two old ladies saw that the fog of the ladder in front of them suddenly dissipated, and they knew that the ladder assessment had ended.

Since the ladder assessment is over, but no one is pressed down by the huge pressure on the ladder, there is only one possibility, and it is also expected by many people.

Jian Xin and Qin Fan both passed the ladder assessment, which means that both of them have the qualifications to become the guardians of the hot summer! At the same time, it also shows that the battle between the two is about to begin!

"Alas, both of them are Tianjiao, so why should they fight each other so much? In this troubled world, wouldn't it be better to serve me together in the hot summer? Is it possible that one of them has to die so aggrieved?"

"Yes, even if you die, you should die on the battlefield to be considered a well-deserved death, but you have to fight in the nest, it's still too willful. ”

“......”

Listening to the sighs of the guardians, Zheng Dao smiled slightly and said, "Don't panic, I think that in the end, neither of these two can die." ”
