Chapter 356: Chapter 205: Is This a Sure Win?_2

Ran Qingchen looked utterly bewildered.

At that moment, Fang suddenly clapped his hands lightly, pointing towards Ran Qingchen.

Seeing this, Mo Bailing chuckled and said, "Jiang, you may compose a poem, but it must be about Lord Ran."

Compose a poem for my wife?

Jiang Shouzhong, who had planned to recite "Goose, goose, goose," suddenly froze and looked towards Fang.

The latter, with a teasing smile, winked at Jiang Shouzhong as if he had seen through something, seemingly saying... brother, the opportunity is yours, whether you grasp it is up to you.

Now the center of attention again, Ran Qingchen felt somewhat annoyed.

She glared fiercely at Fang, and said to Jiang Shouzhong, "Stop composing poems, just play chess with him casually, it’s okay if you lose."

The woman feared that the opponent was deliberately making Jiang Mo look foolish.

At worst, she herself would strive to obtain the Dragon Slaying Sword and give it to Jiang Mo all the same.

However, Jiang Shouzhong lowered his gaze in thought, appearing to genuinely consider composing a poem on the spot.

After a moment, he slowly began:

"In the capital resides a beauty, peerless and independent. One glance topples the city, another topples the nation. Who doesn’t know of toppling cities and nations? Such beauty is rare to find again."

The room instantly fell silent.

Everyone stared at Jiang Shouzhong in astonishment, having not anticipated that he would truly compose a poem that was melodious, fresh, and refined, so uniquely special.

"Wonderful, wonderful,"

Yuan Anjiang savored it deeply and sincerely praised, " ’Fear’ yet ’cherish,’ ’difficult’ yet ’seek more,’ with simplicity overcoming complexity, with void generating reality... truly wonderful."

Ran Qingchen’s lips were slightly parted, taking a long time to recover.

A delicate blush quietly climbed her jade-like face, spreading to her snow-white neck, like peach blossoms in spring water, gently rippling.

The woman felt her face growing hotter, the warmth seeping into her heart, brewing slight emotions.

But immediately after, her heart inexplicably ached sharply.

It was as if something pierced her heart, shattering the trickle of affections that had seeped in.

"Such beauty is rare to find again..." Ran Qingchen murmured softly.

"Clap, clap..."

A series of clapping sounds brought her back to her senses.

Fang’s eyes sparkled brilliantly, he extended his thumb towards Jiang Shouzhong, his face full of admiration and approval.

Clearly, Jiang Shouzhong had passed the test.

"I didn’t expect Jiang was also a man of outstanding talent," Mo Bailing said with a smile.

Jiang Shouzhong blushed and laughed, "I made it up in a dream, which made everyone laugh, I actually can’t compose any poem in reality."

Mo Bailing smiled and led everyone towards the location of the second test.

Soon, they arrived in front of a cave.

The cavern was icy cold, with a continuous draft of chilling wind mixed with fine Sword Qi, touching like a thin blade, seemingly capable of penetrating the skin.

Not far away, there was also a smaller cave entrance.

"This second test involves the Sword Cave,"

Mo Bailing stood before the cave, his robes fluttering, pointing to the small cave entrance, "All you need to do to pass the test is to successfully exit through the door of the Sword Cave."

Everyone looked solemn.

The test sounded easy, but it definitely wasn’t.

Indeed, as Mo Bailing continued, "Although there’s no risk of life in the test, this stage does carry some risks; inside, there will be five Sword Corpses that will block your way. Their cultivation is roughly at the level of Second Grade Martial Artists..."

Sword Corpses?

Upon hearing this term, Ran Qingchen and the others appeared horrified.

It’s said that when certain Divine Weapons were forged, some Swordsmen were specifically used for sword sacrifices, using their Sword Intent and melody to sharpen the Divine Weapons and forge a Sword Heart.

These Swordsmen’s bodies, kept in a Sword Pool over a long time, would eventually become corpses that knew only sword wielding and slaughter.

They felt no fear of pain or death, yet their strength was extremely high, and their Swordsmanship ferocious.

These were the chilling "Sword Corpses."

However, hearing from Mo Bailing that the Sword Corpses inside were only Second Grade Martial Artists, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But what followed made everyone dumbfounded.

"Perhaps you think the Sword Corpses are not strong, and that is indeed the case. However, there is a special Formation inside this Sword Cave that will forcibly suppress everyone’s cultivation to the level of Second Grade Martial Artists, regardless of your actual cultivation," Mo Bailing said calmly, "In addition, none of your Magic Artifacts or secret techniques can be used."

As he spoke, Mo Bailing glanced at Jiang Shouzhong.

Since Jiang Shouzhong currently displayed a cultivation of the Great Profound Sect Master Realm, but was able to defeat Murong Nan of Heaven Desolation Boundary, it indicated hidden secret techniques.

"How is it possible to pass through?"

Duo Ying from Danxia Peak frowned, "We are reduced to the cultivation of Second Grade Martial Artists, facing five Sword Corpses of the same strength, unable to use Magic Artifacts or secret techniques, there’s no way we can succeed."

The others nodded secretly.

The challenge was too great.

Yet Jiang Shouzhong was amused.

With five Taoist Bodies inside him, no matter how much it was suppressed, it amounted to having five Second Grade Martial Artist realms.

Others faced one against five, but he was effectively five against five...

This round was stable.

"The test is such; as long as you can pass through the Sword Cave smoothly, whether by fighting or dodging, the choice is yours,"

Mo Bailing said with a smile, "Additionally, I will give each of you a life-saving charm. If you ever feel that your life is in danger and you cannot pass, just tear the charm, and you will come out of the Sword Cave unharmed.

While it can help save your lives, whether you get injured depends on your own abilities, as this stage of the test indeed involves danger. If anyone wishes not to take the test, you may exit now."

No one exited.

Since it wasn’t life-threatening, there was no harm in trying.

"Who will go in first?"

Handing out the charms one by one, Mo Bailing asked.
