Naked Sword Art

ly ended.
There wasn ’t a wall blocking their path, but a large abyss.

”Long Wang, wait!! ” Li Xiang screamed.

She then jumped in front of him, stopping him before he could fall over the cliff.

Despite being blindfolded, Xiao Fang was easily able to navigate through the maze without any problems, so why was Xiao Fang not able to see the cliff in front of him.

’Could it be another illusion, ’ Li Xiang thought.

If it was really an illusion, then she feared that she had made a fool of herself.
However, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn ’t see through the illusion.
Eventually she was completely convinced that it wasn ’t an illusion.
If she didn ’t stop him, he definitely would have fallen.

Xiao Hei was also confused.
The reason she didn ’t stop him was because she trusted him wholeheartedly.
She wanted to confirm it by tossing a stone into the abyss, so she picked up a stone then tossed it down.

Li Xiang saw what Xiao Hei was doing and thought it was a clever idea.

Xiao Hei released the stone then watched the stone fall.
The most frightening thing was that they never heard the rock hitting the bottom.
Just how deep is this hole.

A slight chill ran down Xiao Hei ’s spine as she looked up at Xiao Fang.
She didn ’t realize it before, but it really seemed as if Li Xiang had saved his life.

”How do we get past it? ” Li Xiang wondered.

The door was actually only a few dozen meters away, so the easiest way for them to get to the other side was if they simply jumped over it.
However, Xiao Fang rejected that idea.
He had no intentions of revealing his body cultivation realm to Li Xiang, they had only just met.

Li Xiang suddenly pointed out to the right.
It seemed that there was a rope connecting one of the paths to the exit.

”We need to find the path that leads to that exit and walk across that rope to get to the other side, ” Li Xiang suggested.

She wasn ’t excited about going back to find the correct path, but it seemed like it was their only option.

”There are no other paths.
All of them lead to this one.
An interesting concept fitting for us cultivators. ”

Xiao Fang began to read the words carved above the exit door in large characters.

[ There are no shortcuts.
A path of a cultivator is a path against the Heavens ]

”What does that even mean? ” Li Xiang said.

”There are many paths a cultivator can take, but there is only one dao; one way.
A way against the natural order, a way against all odds and reason, a way against the heavens. ”

”What does that mean? You ’re not making any sense, ” Li Xiang complained.

However, Xiao Hei ’s eyes were sparkling in admiration.
She understood exactly what he was saying and agreed wholeheartedly.
Nothing about being a cultivator was easy, you must abandon the luxury of comfort and push past your limits everyday.
That was what separated a great cultivator from a mediocre one.

Xiao Fang then turned his head slightly towards Xiao Hei ’s direction.

”How are you with water. ”

”I hate it, ” Xiao Hei replied bluntly.

”In that case you better stick the landing. ”

Li Xiang couldn ’t follow their conversation, but she was getting a bad feeling from it.

”What are you 2 planning? ” Li Xiang asked nervously.

”There ’s only one way to pass this exam.
If you want to pass, then I suggest you hold on. ”

”Hold on to what? ”

Xiao Fang suddenly grabbed Li Xiang then jumped into the bottomless pit.
Xiao Hei, with a smirk on her face, followed Xiao Fang down.

”Aghhhhhh!!!! You crazy bastard!! ”
