But, after one minute.

The light on the stele disappeared once again.

Everything returned to silence.

Failed!

Attack power.

Still not enough.

Bear in mind that the Rising Dragon Fist with twenty-five times the power can repel a Qilin.

It should be Human King Level attack power.

Yet still unable to break the stele.

Could it be that the swordsmanship left by Dugu Qiubai requires beings beyond Human King Level to even begin training?

Or is it that Su Chen's assumption was wrong?

Breaking the stele is fundamentally useless?

Everyone's faces showed a hint of despair.

If even such a powerful attack cannot shatter the stele.

It truly leaves us wondering what immense attack power is required to break it.

The atmosphere became somewhat pessimistic for a moment.

"It's over, we're done for, we can't get out..."

The negative sentiment continued to spread.

If Su Chen can't break the stele, who else can?

Do we really have to resort to Long Lan's Demon King's Strike?

However, this is definitely not what the Guardian wishes to see.

"Clan Leader Sword One... maybe let her try..." Cang Lang gritted her teeth and looked at Sword One.

Although she also hoped Long Lan wouldn't learn the swordsmanship left by the Ancestors.

But now it seems there's no other way.

Allowing Long Lan to learn the swordsmanship.

Will definitely bring endless trouble.

But those are matters for later.

Right now, the issue is finding a way to leave here.

"No, absolutely not!" Sword One responded with refusal without hesitation: "Even if everyone at the Sword Tomb dies here, it's impossible to let someone with malicious intentions become the inheritor of the Ancestor Sword Technique!"

"Yes, Master Cang Lang, if she obtains the Ancestor's inheritance, even if we make it out, we'd surely face death."

"Don't forget, there's also a terrifying ancient bronze giant outside!"

"..."

Cang Lang's suggestion was instantly met with numerous doubts from the clansmen.

"I understand your perspective, but only by surviving do we have hope, right?" Cang Lang said with a saddened expression.

In fact, many years of cultivation had already brought her mental state to tranquility.

She doesn't wish to die, but neither does she fear death.

It's just that the Guardian clan has guarded the Sword Tomb for thousands of years.

And now they've fallen to a result of extinction.

It's truly pitiful.

Moreover, there are quite a few children here.

During the battle, it was mainly adults participating.

The children have mostly survived.

They are the future hope of the Guardians.

In Cang Lang's eyes.

They should enjoy their lives.

They shouldn't devote their entire youth, even lives, to the Sword Tomb.

"If surviving means letting bad people become more rampant, then... we'd rather die!" The Sword Tomb Guardians faced death fearlessly.

They were different from Cang Lang.

Though there was some contact with the outside world.

It's far less than Cang Lang's.

In their hearts, guarding the Sword Tomb is their life's purpose.

This is an unchanging truth through thousands of years.

Every Guardian, when passing on to their descendants.

Always regarded guarding the Sword Tomb as the most important part of their life.

This cultivated the willingness of every Sword Tomb Guardian to sacrifice for the Tomb.

Cang Lang's thinking is relatively open.

However, her singular view cannot sway the entire Guardian clan.

Even if she is the strongest talent among the Guardians.

In fact.

She, as the strongest talent.

Lost in the first battle.

And it was a complete defeat.

With her entire body's meridians severed.

If it wasn't for the miraculous effect of Su Chen's blood.

She might...

Have been a cripple for the rest of her life.

So, suggesting this idea now.

The Guardians couldn't accept it.

Of course, Cang Lang still holds considerable sway.

Even though she lost.

Her legend is vast.

And during the battle with Long Lan.

It was indeed remarkable.

Far surpassing Sword One.

When both sides were about to start quarreling as they couldn't reach consensus.

Long Lan finally stood up.

She swept her gaze across everyone, then calmly said: "Actually, you have no need to argue."

"Firstly, my usual weapon is a knife, I don't use swords, even if you let me learn Dugu's swordsmanship, I might not be able to."

"Secondly, I'm severely injured, it'll take a long time to recover, and currently, I can't perform the Demon King's Strike..."

Long Lan's words quieted everyone instantly.

This meant directly cutting off all hopes.

Despite everyone's efforts to oppose.

At least there was a sliver of hope.

Perhaps Long Lan's Demon King's Strike might meet the stele's minimum requirements?

Now, there's no hope at all.

Long Lan is no longer able to perform the Demon King's Strike!

Knowing there's a method but not doing it.

And facing pure incapability as it is now.

The feeling is completely different.

The shadow of death loomed over everyone.

"Moreover... his previous move already matched the power of Demon King's Strike..." Long Lan said quietly.

Su Chen in an explosive state.

Could enhance the power of Rising Dragon Fist by twenty-five times.

It was absolutely terrifying.

Even for Su Chen, in a short duration, he could only use it once.

After all, it's a move capable of repelling the Fire Qilin.

How could it possibly be weak.

Everyone remained silent.

Not knowing what to do.

Perhaps waiting for death is their only option.

Su Chen still had one method.

To use the Destruction Secret Technique.

Enhancing the Rising Dragon Fist's power to one hundred and twenty-five times!

Twenty-five times versus one hundred and twenty-five times are two completely different concepts.

Even Su Chen himself doesn't know what level it will reach.

Because he has never performed it.

Perhaps the one hundred and twenty-five times Rising Dragon Fist could unlock the inheritance!

And now, there seems to be no other choice.

However, doing so would cause Su Chen's cultivation to regress by one realm.

Even more serious.

After unleashing destruction, he will immediately fall into a coma.

And be unable to use Inner Strength for a very long time.

Who knows when he might recover?

Thus, this method also isn't quite viable.

If it were possible, he would have used Destruction directly just now.

Instead of opting for the twenty-five times Rising Dragon Fist.

"In a way, it's better; we can't get out, and bad people can't come in. The Guardian clan has lived up to the Ancestors by not allowing their sword technique to be obtained by anyone." Sword One sighed heavily.

"No, I don't want to die..."

"Yes, I'm so young and there's so much I haven't experienced..."

"I've never been in love..."

Being willing to die for the Sword Tomb.

And actually facing imminent death.

The feeling is different once again.

In the face of true despair.

Many Guardians of the Sword Tomb crumbled.
