Perfect: I am Shi An from Shicun, and I am Huang’s brother!

Chapter 269 Climbing Mountains

Seeing that Yunxi had finally recovered to her peak condition, Shi An no longer hesitated and immediately waved his hand, saying, "Let's go up the mountain to get the sword!"

After saying that, he took the lead and stepped onto it.

As soon as Shi An moved, Shi Yi and Yun Xi followed without hesitation.

The mountain peaks are shrouded in mist, making them mysterious and unpredictable.

"boom!"

As soon as the three approached, they felt a powerful pressure rushing towards them like a tsunami, making it almost impossible for them to breathe. And as they got closer, the pressure became stronger and stronger.

In the end, the three of them even felt as if they were carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders, and every step forward required tremendous effort.

"This oppressive aura... is truly terrifying!"

Shi An gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, and large beads of sweat rolled down, soaking his clothes.

"Damn it, this is like they're going to crush us completely!"

Under such immense pressure, even Shi Yi, who possessed double pupils, was in a difficult situation. His body was trembling, and he even clenched his teeth to the limit.

However, he did not give up, but continued to move forward tenaciously.

Yunxi's pretty face was also deathly pale, and her body, which had just recovered, was once again in a state of disrepair.

In the end, he only managed to climb a little over a thousand meters before collapsing and being thrown off the mountain.

"Oh!"

With a loud thud, Yunxi crashed heavily onto the grassy area at the foot of the mountain.

"Xiao Xi!"

At the same time, seeing Yunxi being thrown down the mountain, Shi An's eyes widened in horror and he was extremely anxious. He immediately turned around to save her.

But that oppressive aura followed him relentlessly, pressing down on him and making his movements extremely sluggish.

Meanwhile, down the mountain, seeing Shi An's actions, Yun Xi disregarded her injuries and immediately struggled to get up from the ground, shouting to him, "Brother An, I'm fine, don't worry."

After saying that, she even waved to Shi An to show that she was indeed alright.

It must be said that although Yunxi's actions were somewhat far-fetched, they did calm Shi An down considerably. He temporarily suppressed his preparations to descend the mountain and instead endured the pressure on his body, taking another difficult step forward.

"Boom!"

With each step he took, his legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, making the entire mountain seem to tremble slightly.

At the same time, seeing Shi An continue forward, Shi Yi also took a deep breath, then circulated all his divine power, trying his best to resist the pressure, and followed closely behind Shi An.

Although he did not speak, he understood in his heart that the divine weapon was not only a Celestial King's artifact, but also hid a huge secret, a great secret from before the Immortal Ancient Era.

As the two drew closer, the pressure intensified, and even Shi An felt as if his body was about to be torn apart by this force, with every inch of his skin enduring immense pain.

As for Shi Yi, his condition was no better. His double pupils flickered, and his body was covered in cracks, with blood dripping from time to time.

Finally, when he was only a hundred meters away from the altar, Shi Yi could no longer move forward and collapsed to the ground.

"Looks like this is where I end up..."

Gazing at the altar a hundred meters away and the three-pointed, double-edged sword on it, a hint of resentment flashed in Shi Yi's eyes, but it quickly turned into relief. In the end, he actually sat down cross-legged to regulate his breathing, runes flowing in his double pupils, and began to use this pressure to temper himself.

Shi An was unaware of Shi Yi's plight, as he had already reached his limit. Not only were his bones creaking under the strain, but his internal organs were also riddled with wounds and on the verge of collapse.

"Eighty meters...50 meters..."

A hundred meters is a distance that would normally be covered in the blink of an eye, but for Shi An at this moment, it felt as far as an insurmountable chasm. Every step felt like crossing an entire era.

"boom!"

Finally, just as Shi An was only ten meters away from the altar, an even more terrifying pressure suddenly erupted from it, instantly engulfing Shi An.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, Shi An felt a terrifying pressure, as if the sky were collapsing, press down on him, instantly causing him to fall to the ground, unable to move.

The pressure came suddenly and swiftly, but Shi An did not give up because of it; instead, he persisted.

He struggled to his feet and walked toward the altar once more.

Every step felt like a battle against death, yet he was fearless. He had only one belief in his heart: he had to get that three-pointed double-edged sword and leave this place.

"boom!"

Just as Shi An was about to step onto the altar, the oppressive force erupted again, and this time it was stronger than ever before, as if ten thousand ancient divine mountains were pressing down on him all at once, instantly forcing Shi An to his knees, and blood gushed out.

"Brother An!"

This scene caused Yunxi, who was at the foot of the mountain, to become extremely anxious, with tears welling up in her eyes. She even disregarded her own injuries and rushed towards the mountain peak again.

"Sister-in-law, no!"

Seeing Yunxi's actions, Shi Yi, who had barely recovered some strength, quickly spoke up to stop her. Although he was also worried about Shi An, he understood that if he rushed forward at this moment, it would only increase casualties and would be meaningless.

However, Yunxi couldn't listen to any of that. At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: to live and die with Shi An.

But just as Yunxi was about to rush into the mountain peak, Shi An finally managed to sit up and replied with difficulty, "Xiaoxi, don't come any closer, I'm fine!"

Upon hearing Shi An's voice, Yun Xi stopped abruptly, looked at him with teary eyes, and choked out, "Brother An, you're in this state, and you still say you're fine!"

Upon hearing this, Shi An clenched his teeth but still managed a forced smile: "It's a small problem, nothing to worry about!"

Having said that, he slowly stood up, his gaze fixed firmly on the three-pointed double-edged sword on the altar.

At this moment, the oppressive aura seemed to sense Shi An's provocation and became even more violent. The surrounding mountains trembled under this oppressive aura, as if they were about to collapse at any moment.

Shi An took a deep breath, circulated the wisp of divine light that had just recovered within his body, formed hand seals, and chanted incantations.

"boom!"

In an instant, a layer of dazzling starlight suddenly surged from his body, as if billions of stars had gathered on him, making him appear like the ruler of the starry sky, and even causing the oppressive aura that made people feel suffocated to tremble slightly.

"Break it for me!"

Suddenly, Shi An roared, his voice like rolling thunder, echoing between heaven and earth.

This time, the oppressive aura was actually torn open by the starlight emanating from his body, and then he seized the opportunity to flash, transforming into a dazzling meteor, and rushed towards the three-pointed double-edged sword on the altar.
