C1653 Shattered Pride(part Ii)

"Since you can't obtain the inheritance of the great way of the sword in the Spirit Sword Sect, everything on this mountain belongs to me. It can only belong to me!"

Just as blood spurted out from her mouth and stained her face with a layer of blood, Tia suddenly turned her head and stared fixedly at Lin Bai's face as she spoke word by word. Every word, every word, was like a rivet heavily aiming for Lin Bai. It was as if he wanted to pin Lin Bai to death on the spot so that Tai could never see this eyesore again.

Ever since he could remember, Tai A had never suffered so much humiliation in the hands of anyone. No one could trample all the pride in Tai A's heart into pieces like Lin Bai.

First it was the confrontation above the Sky Cavern; then it was the sword under the Sky Cavern cutting down the light that had transformed into the Big Dipper; then it was the competition on the stone steps. Tai Ah couldn't understand why a person who wasn't even a sword cultivator could repeatedly trample upon his pride. So he could only rage, he could only try his best to prove himself, prove that his pride would never shatter!

As soon as these words left his mouth, the bewitching red tint in Taia's eyes suddenly became brighter, like a burning flame of anger!

He would never allow anyone to trample on his pride! With a low growl, Tai Ah turned his head and shouted towards the nearby mountain peak. Then, he suddenly lifted his foot and fiercely rushed towards the mountain peak! In between his eyes, the flame seemed to have become solid, as if it was going to burn completely. It was as if it was going to trample the entire Spirit Sword Mountain into dust!

However, just as his feet were about to touch the 574th level, that strange rebound suddenly occurred! When there were not even a few millimeters left between the tip of the toes and the stone steps, Tai Ah's entire body suddenly began to violently tremble. Blue veins began to bulge up high, and several bloody lines appeared on his skin! It was an attack under extreme pressure, a heart-wrenching pain!

But even so, Tai Ah still did not give up! His foot was still firmly stomping down, as if he was going to break through the Spirit Sword Mountain! He did not want Lin Bai to walk in front of him, did not want the last trace of pride in his heart to crumble like before as well! In order to be proud, he had to persevere and climb up!

He had to hold on! The final glory must belong to Senior Tai'e! Looking at Tai Ah's appearance on the mountain, Long Cai tightly clenched her fists, muttering incessantly. She truly could not accept that the one standing on the peak of the mountain would be Lin Bai. She could not accept this result!

But in front of the silent and desolate Spirit Sword Mountain, no matter what kind of prayer it was, it would have no effect! Just as Tai'e's foot was about to touch the 574th step, the rebound suddenly soared again!

It was as if a hurricane suddenly hit his body. Tai'e suddenly felt like the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. However, he understood that in reality, it wasn't that the earth shaking or the mountains shaking, but just that his body was shaking!

Boom!" With a loud noise, Tai Ah's body heavily fell to the ground. The bloody wounds on his entire body clearly intensified by a few more degrees. The streaks of blood were like the parted lips of a child, as if mocking him.

"I refuse to accept this!" I still want to go back on! I must reach the summit of the mountain, I must obtain the inheritance of the Great Way of the Sword! " A heavy palm slammed down on the stone steps. Tai'e mustered all the strength in his body and stood up once again. He abruptly took a step forward and stomped down towards the 574th step!

That kick had used up all the energy in his body, and it had accumulated all the pride and perseverance in his heart! Even to the extent that the instant his foot stomped out, blood started to spurt out from all the wounds on his body.

Seeing this bloody scene, the janitor bird opened its mouth wide in shock and couldn't help but cry out. She couldn't figure out what kind of persistence it was, what kind of mentality it was that would cause someone to persist in such a tragic situation! Furthermore, she knew that regardless of the outcome, Tai'e's decisiveness in risking his life was definitely worthy of anyone's worship!

And on Long Cai's face, there were tears falling. They understood that this was Tai'e risking his life! Kunlun lowered his head, not daring to look at the mountain again. He was afraid that if he looked at the mountain any longer, he would cause his tears to fall, but even so, his tears still flowed out uncontrollably from the corner of his eyes, falling drop by drop onto the brown red ground!

His foot stomped down, and shockingly, the sound of wind and thunder could be heard, as if he wanted to destroy the world. He wanted to crush the stone steps that contained this boundless pressure into dust, turning them into dust and scattering them into the air without a single trace!

As if sensing Tai'e's fighting spirit, the boundless pressure on the 574th step suddenly appeared. The sword intent was like a cannonball piercing through the clouds, fiercely rushing towards Tai'e's body!

Crack! The moment this breath and Tai'e's falling leg met, a clear cracking sound suddenly rang out in the air. It was the sound of Tai'e's calves' bones shattering.

This was the terror of the Spirit Sword Mountain. It only allowed those who had truly comprehended the true meaning of the more than five hundred steps! If one could not understand everything it was trying to express, regardless of the cultivation base or the temperament, one must defeat it!

Under this violent rebound, the blood on Taia's face disappeared. His eyes were staring at the peak of the peak within reach, as if the peak of the Spirit Sword Sect was also staring at him! However, the peak was gradually becoming more distant from him!

He knew that this was the Spirit Sword Mountain's rejection. This was the Spirit Sword Mountain trying to push him out of the mountain! He also knew that this was a sign that he was exhausted. He no longer had any strength left, and he could still support himself all the way to the summit!

"No!" I still have the strength to continue walking! " "Feeling that strange power, Tai Ah shouted out in a daze. His breathing became as heavy as a cow's, and his hands frantically tried to grab at the air with all his might. He was like a drowning man trying to grab onto a lifesaving straw. However, there was nothing in that void!

No matter how Tai'e struggled, no matter how hard he tried, there was nothing left of him at the foot of the Spirit Sword Mountain. The repelling force slowly pushed him out of the mountain! Tears began to flow from his eyes.

Tears mixed with the blood on his cheeks fell to the ground with a thud. It was as if flowers of blood had bloomed on the ground. It was as if there was only a sliver of Tai'a left, then it was ruthlessly broken and shattered into pieces of pride on the ground!

"You're wrong!" Looking at Tai A, whose power of expulsion was gradually rebounding out of the Spirit Sword Mountain, Lin Bai sighed lightly. His eyes revealed a hint of sympathy and he said slowly: "A sword cultivator never relies on the pride you speak of, what you rely on is the Nature Energy in your chest! Although that aura is very similar to your pride, it's definitely not a blind pride like yours! "

"And you have never figured out what exactly is the true pride of a sword cultivator. Your true pride is not to step over all lives and view everything in the world as ants! Rather, it was to use the sword in your hand to protect everything you cherished, to protect everything you cared about, to use your heart to love, to use your sword to protect the person you loved! This process is the true pride. "

"If you don't figure this out in one day, you won't be able to surpass me in one day! He would never be able to obtain the true Dao of the Sword! Because your mentality is merely paranoid. It's not really a sword cultivator at all! "

As Taia walked further and further away, Lin Bai spoke the words in his mind. He slowly placed his hand behind his back and straightened his back. He then said indifferently, "Now, look at how I've completed this section of the road!"

As she finished speaking, Lin Bai took in a light breath. Step by step, he slowly walked towards the peak of the mountain!

Even though the pressure was as great as the ocean, even though it was heavier than Mt. Tai, it could even make Lin Bai feel as if even the bones in his body were being pushed down slightly by the pressure. But even so, his back was still as straight as a pine tree. He was still like a sharp sword that looked down at the heavens. He did not bend in the slightest as he indifferently advanced step by step!

574! 575! 576! 577! 578!

"One more step and I'll reach the end!" The moment Lin Bai's foot landed on the 578th step, the janitor bird's eyes shone with an indescribable light as he shouted in excitement.

At the foot of the Spirit Sword Mountain, an intangible tempest suddenly appeared in the hearts of Tai A, Kun Wu and Long Cai! Tai Ah sat cross-legged on the ground. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Lin Bai's figure! His fists were clenched tightly as streams of fresh blood dripped down from his palms!

At this moment, his thoughts were extremely complicated and he was unable to use words to describe them! He was a true sword cultivator, a true proud son of heaven. Even in the Sword Pavilion, he was still a peak existence! However, at this moment, he could only look up at the people around him. He could not accept such a huge disparity! Even the bird's cheers were like a sharp knife stabbing his heart when they entered his ears. He knew that this was the complete destruction of his pride!

From then on, Taia no longer had any pride. He had completely vanished into thin air along with the clouds of the Spirit Sword Sect.

Was his dao really wrong? [Is it really like he said? Is it because I was wrong, because I am so proud? Is it because I have no idea what I am going to do to you, that I will end up like this?!]

Looking at the silent Spirit Sword Mountain, Tai Ah's thoughts became extremely complicated and a thousand words became speechlessness!

Although Lin Bai's body was still straight and proud like a sword that pierced through the heavens, his body was no longer able to maintain its stability. Instead, it was trembling non-stop, like a rock that was hanging on a mountain, on the verge of collapse!

Although the 579 steps were right in front of his eyes, that single step seemed as long as his entire life!
