Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 67: The Experts Outside The Su Family Estate
At this moment, many nascent souls and core formation stage cultivators gathered in front of the Su estate.
They all wanted to go inside and witness the tribulation, but this wasn’t some free dish. If the person in the tribulation successfully broke through and got angry at them, things wouldn’t end up good.

Especially since no powers had a void ascension powerhouse with them.
Although no one will die, who knows how many injuries they might suffer?
"Humph! Cowards! Just scram if you don’t want to get in," Zhi Qiang shouted with a disdainful look.
However, none of the people here were afraid of him. Even the second-grade sect sneered coldly.
"Alchemist Zhi Qiang, it’s useless to be arrogant!"
"Yeah, but how could he understand this if he doesn’t even know what is coming his way?"
Many people spoke with contempt. They all knew the real formula of the cleansing pill was spread, yet this guy remained blind and didn’t believe it.
Well, Zhi Qiang didn’t have any chance to hear news about this, as his disciple Jun Wang blocked everyone who came to inform him.
He even fabricated the lie about Ye Chen hiring a few people to spread the false news.
Zhi Qiang immediately believed this, as he knew Ye Chen had a lot of middle-grade spirit stones. Hence, he didn’t bother to investigate.
Even now, when he heard people talking, he thought they were just afraid of the void ascension powerhouse.
"Say what you want to say; it’s not going to change that you are cowards! Also, let’s see what happens when you come to buy pills from me," Zhi Qiang stated with a cold look.
In response, everyone just sneered and didn’t bother to explain. Everyone wanted to see him make a joke of himself.
But Zhi Qiang still didn’t understand, as his arrogant attitude prevented him from thinking further.
"Don’t you think this is a bit abrupt for anyone to break through now? Moreover, who is daring enough to face tribulation inside the city?"
Suddenly someone questioned.
Hearing this, many people felt puzzled.
After all, going through the cultivation was not a small matter. Especially since someone can provoke it, which would make the tribulation stronger, and their chances of surviving would become low.
Although the person who provoked might die, which family doesn’t have any enemies who would do anything to weaken them?
So, it was an idiotic decision to break through in the city.
"I don’t think this is the tribulation of the void ascension realm."
A deep voice echoed through the crowd.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at the person who spoke.
It was a handsome man dressed in a white robe and carrying a broadsword on his back.
He was a famous figure in the upper cultivation circle. Many know him by the nickname of ’Mad Sword God’ as well as ’Sword Genius.’
"Cheng Hao, do you really expect everyone to believe in you just because of your words!" Zhi Qiang questioned angrily.
He didn’t have any good relationship with him as the Flame Dragon Sect and Sword Pavilion were in conflict with each other. Moreover, despite being young, Cheng Hao held a higher status and was more powerful than him. How could he feel good over this?
"Haha, Alchemist Zhi Qiang, I am just saying what I have discovered. It’s not like I am forcing anyone to believe in me, right?" Cheng Hao questioned back with a laugh.
After which he ignored him and focused his gaze on the terrifying vortex.
"I heard from the cultivators around that there were some strange characters flying towards the sky, only after which this tribulation clouds appeared. From what I have heard, this is very different from the breakthrough of the void ascension stage," he explained.
Hearing him Zhi Qiang could only snort with anger, as there was no way to refute him.
"Since it’s not something caused by a breakthrough, then there is nothing stopping us from going inside," he stated with a cold look.
The other experts also thought the same as him and nodded with agreement.
After which they hesitated no more, but just as they had taken a step, pressure suddenly arrived from the Su estate.
"I don’t have any problems if you are gathering in front of my gate, but if you want to come and go as you please, then I won’t mind giving you all a good lesson!"
A cold voice rang out as a figure appeared outside the gate.
It belonged to a handsome man with a majestic aura. He was none other than Su Ming, the city lord of Mystic City.
Just now he was busy dealing with the experts of the Su family, who had the same ideas as these outsiders; hence, it took him a while.
"Su Ming! This tribulation is not caused by someone’s breakthrough, which means this is a great opportunity for us cultivators. How could you monopolize such a thing? You better let us in; if not, this is not going to end well!" Zhi Qiang threatened with rage.
Not only him, but other cultivators also looked furious. After all, breaking through the next stage meant they could live longer, and if they could have an opportunity like this where they could increase the chances of breaking through, how could they give up?
However, Su Ming didn’t give a shit and directly took his long spear, pointing it towards them.
"If you want to trespass on the Su family estate, then don’t blame me for taking action! Also, be prepared to lose your lives!" he declared with a cold sneer.
Watching him like this, everyone’s face turned ugly. Although their numbers were large, don’t forget this was the territory of the Su family.
Su Ming can just activate all kinds of formations, which was enough to trap them for an hour or two.
"Su Ming, do you really believe your Su family is invincible? Can they really dare to offend every power here?" Zhi Qiang questioned with a dark face.
In response, Su Ming shrugged his shoulders.
"We, the Su family, aren’t pushovers. If I can say I dare to offend everyone here, it also means I am confident in fighting with you all," he replied with disdain.
Hearing him, everyone’s expression turned dark.
"Su Ming, what if you add me?"
At this moment Cheng Hao spoke and brandished his sword. Although he was still smiling, his eyes were cold, filled with killing intent.
"Humph! Like I care about a wimpy person; bring it on!" Su Ming snorted coldly, then, without any warning, he attacked.
Cheng Hao was no weakling; hence, he didn’t hesitate and shot forward.
Witnessing the two fight with each other, everyone hurriedly backed away, especially Zhi Qiang.
He was just an alchemist; no matter how high his cultivation was, his strength couldn’t even match a genius core formation cultivator. In short words, he was a paper tiger.
Not only he but many others here are also the same; hence, they didn’t hesitate to distance themselves before focusing their gaze on two figures.
In just a few seconds, Su Ming and Cheng Hao had exchanged a few hundred moves. They were all physical; hence, it didn’t cause too much disturbance.
"Are you sure you want to continue this time? I won’t show any mercy." Su Ming stated with a cold look and unleashed his aura of nascent soul stage.
"No wonder you are arrogant; you have broken through the fourth stage of nascent soul. But do you really think you are the only one?" Cheng Hao snorted and unleashed his aura as well.
Witnessing this, the experts behind were shocked.
One had to know that nascent soul cultivators needed massive amounts of resources to advance further. Especially the tier-6 pills.
However, with how long it took for tier-6 herbs to grow, they were rare and cost a fortune to get hands on just one pill.
Of course everyone can still cultivate without it, but the time needed for it would be too long, taking ten to twenty years just to break through the single realm.
Both Su Ming and Cheng Hao were just in the second stage of nascent soul a year ago, and now that they had advanced two stages rapidly, how could they not feel shocked? Especially since they must have consumed at least hundreds of tier-6 pills; if not, they might have chanced upon an encounter.
No matter what, it was enough to make everyone shocked and jealous.
"Take this!" Cheng Hao shouted suddenly and shot forward with his sword.
But this time he wasn’t just attacking physically but was also using martial arts, which formed hundreds of swords in the midair.
"Humph, you will regret it!" Su Ming stated with a snort and waved his long spear at him.
In that instant a terrifying pressure erupted, and a figure of a ferocious lion appeared behind him.
Su Ming didn’t hesitate further and directly shot like lightning, instantly arriving in front of Cheng Hao.
Witnessing this, everyone’s expression changed, and they all thought Cheng Hao was a goner as the spear reached his throat.
But suddenly at this moment everything came to a stop, and the martial arts of both Su Ming and Cheng Hao disappeared.
"This is the Su family estate, and I don’t want it to be stained by blood. However, if anyone dares to trespass, I, Su Qiming, will personally kill them no matter the power behind you!"
Su Qiming’s furious voice, filled with bloodlust, echoed in everyone’s ears.
