In the first two days of the third layer, Gu Ding was constantly attacked by the monsters around him. This was because, to the Demonic Beasts in the sea, his blood energy was like a piece of cake that emitted an endless fragrance, causing the surrounding Demonic Beasts to salivate.

These monsters were all turned into ingredients for Gu Ding's White Jade Emperor Body and were all absorbed. The White Jade Emperor's body also grew from 920 meters to more than 1,100 meters. After more than 1,000 meters, the growth of the Emperor White Jade Body slowed down significantly.

However, no matter how powerful his vital energy was, under the pressure of the third layer, there was a limit to how far it could be transmitted. Hence, fewer and fewer monsters were able to find Gu Ding.

Under such circumstances, Gu Ding chose to take the initiative to hunt.

Under Neptune's guidance, he began to kill the monsters in the third layer and devour their vital energy. With a tenth-rank true god-level Emperor Body and Neptune deliberately avoiding a few troublesome monsters, Gu Ding was almost invincible.

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred … one thousand … ten thousand …

Gu Ding's hunt continued. On the other hand, the other members of the Gu Ding Pirate Crew were not having a peaceful time either.

"Phaser, retreat!" At the bottom of the second layer, Phaser was killing monsters all the way but was stopped by Neptune.

"What's wrong? Is there something big up ahead? "Phaser's senses were greatly suppressed, so he could only rely on Neptune's guidance to hunt.

"It's not a monster, it's a human!" Neptune's voice was solemn. "It's that guy with the bamboo hat. He's heading in your direction. We don't know if he's targeting you or just passing by."

"The swordsman who had a 9.9 centimeter attack depth in the selection round?!" Phaser was also a little surprised.

"Yes, it's him. This guy's combat strength ranks in the top five on the third layer. He's extremely dangerous, especially on the second layer. I'm afraid he's the most terrifying existence on the second layer. "Neptune had a very high opinion of the other party.

"You mean to say that someone has entered the third layer, and his strength is similar to this swordsman's?" Phaser frowned slightly as he looked at the third layer not far away. He knew that his physical strength was not strong enough, so he dared not rush in.

"Apart from Gu Ding, there are four other people who have entered the third layer, all members of the Sea Tribe. Among them, three members of the Sea Clan were not weaker than this swordsman. If Gu Ding hadn't improved tremendously during this time, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to fight them without using his will projection. "

Poseidon's words put a lot of pressure on Phaser. He had always believed that his overall strength was at least in the top tier, if not the strongest. However, from the looks of it, Gu Ding and the others had surpassed him by too much.

"Poseidon, according to your estimations, what are my chances of winning if I were to encounter that guy?" Phaser didn't leave immediately.

"If you face him head-on, your chances of winning are less than ten percent. You have a twenty percent chance of escaping, and a seventy percent chance of being killed by him. Of course, this was only an estimate. That's because after you've joined the team, even when you spar with each other, you rarely use your trump cards. Although I've been paying attention to that guy's battles, he hasn't used a second sword to kill an opponent so far, so I don't know what kind of trump cards he has. "Neptune gave an extremely pessimistic figure.

Phaser was silent for a moment when he heard Neptune's figure. Then, he clenched his fists. "I'm a swordsman, and swordsmanship is the way of cultivation. If there's any danger in front of me, I'll destroy it with my sword. If I choose to retreat, it will become a hindrance to me in the future. I choose to fight! "

"Don't be stupid. An opponent of this level is too dangerous for you, and the chances of you being killed are too high. You're usually a smart person, so why can't you think it through at a critical moment? Where there's life, there's hope. Wait until you become stronger, then you can get back at him! "Neptune tried to dissuade him.

"You don't understand. I'm a swordsman. I can lose, I can die, but I can't retreat! " Phaser gazed into the distance. Although his senses had been greatly suppressed, he could still vaguely sense a sword intent rapidly approaching.

Neptune knew that Phaser had already made up his mind, and there was no point in trying to dissuade him.

Phaser stood in place, his hand reaching out and grasping the air. A green longsword slowly condensed into form.

It was a double-edged sword with a simple design, and even the patterns on the blade were extremely simple. Phaser had obtained this sword from an ancient secret realm, and it was because of this sword that his black hair had turned silver. He had spent too much effort to suppress the sword's soul, even paying the price of his life force.

"Azure Sky, I've used up almost half of my lifespan to suppress you. I hope you won't disappoint me in this battle … "Phaser's eyes were cold as he brushed the green patterns on the blade.

The green longsword trembled slightly, emitting a metallic hum as if responding to Phaser.

Phaser stood firmly in the middle of the endless sea, his long white hair fluttering in the wind as he stared in a certain direction.

"It's coming!" He could clearly feel the sword intent growing stronger and stronger.

A low growl rang out as a figure suddenly appeared not too far away from Phaser.

This person wore a dark grey bamboo hat and was dressed in grey robes. He had a black sword box on his back as he stood in front of Phaser.

He did not attack immediately. Instead, his cold eyes seemed to be observing Phaser through the veil of his bamboo hat.

Phaser, on the other hand, was also observing her opponent.

"So strong!" This was Phaser's first evaluation of his opponent.

Be it his aura or his sword intent, they were far superior to his own.

"Your sword intent isn't bad, but you're too weak." This was his evaluation of Phaser, clearly confident in himself.

"You talk too much." Although his opponent was far stronger than him, there was no fear on Phaser's face. Instead, he was filled with fighting spirit.

"You have the backbone of a swordsman. Not only are you not afraid of me, but you're also filled with fighting spirit. You're the perfect sacrifice for the Swordmaster." The sword box on the man's back began to tremble as well. He took it off with a flip of his hand and stroked the lid, "It seems like the Swordmaster is quite satisfied with this sacrifice. You can't wait to drink his blood."

Phaser came to a sudden realization after hearing this, his lips curling into a smile, "I thought you were some incredible sword cultivator, but it turns out you're just a sword servant. A person who can't even control his sword wants to kill me as a sacrifice? How laughable! "
