In his heart filled with shock and anger, Han Li truly had no way to defend himself.
Ultimately, he could only watch Xu Yan and the others leave with cold smiles, unable to make any move to stop them.
Soon, only Han Li and his group remained on the battlefield.
"Han brother, didn't you kill Shui Leqing?" Du Qingcheng suddenly said as he approached Han Li.
Han Li was so furious he could almost jump, shouting, "Du brother, do you not believe me either?"
Seeing that Han Li did not seem to be faking, Du Qingcheng said solemnly, "Whether I believe you or not doesn't matter; what's key is whether others believe you. Shui Leqing's roar of anger before dying indeed makes it hard for others not to suspect you."
He had closely followed Han Li to the battlefield, and even he doubted whether Shui Leqing's death had anything to do with Han Li, let alone others.
"There must be someone who deliberately wants to frame me! If I find out who it is, I, Han Li, will not spare him!" Han Li shouted, filled with rage.
At this moment, while Han Li was seething with anger, Qin Chen had already taken You Qianxue to another place on the third layer.
"Young Master Chen, where did you go just now?" You Qianxue asked, puzzled as she glanced at Qin Chen.
Qin Chen chuckled and said, "I went to see an old acquaintance, and unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good."
Qin Chen's roar before leaving was originally just meant to annoy Han Li, since they were always at odds. However, what Qin Chen did not expect was that Han Li actually was the first to arrive at the scene.
Perhaps right now, Han Li was already at a loss for words?
The chaos here only lasted a moment.
Soon, everyone was immersed in the assessment of the Sword Intent Tower. However, after what happened with Shui Leqing, everyone was a bit more vigilant during the assessment.
At this moment, deep within the third layer of the Sword Intent Tower, Ji Ru Yue, dressed in white, was not disturbed by the previous events. She had already found the entrance to the fourth layer of the Sword Intent Tower and, with a gentle step, her entire figure disappeared from the third layer.
Outside the Sword Intent Tower.
"Eight hours have passed."
While waiting, Yan Shijiu and the other strong warriors were extremely patient, showing no signs of impatience.
Because, according to convention, it was almost impossible for anyone to break into the fourth layer within a day, which was twelve hours.
The other strong warriors on the scene clearly understood this convention to some extent, and thus they were all quite relaxed.
After all, all the martial artists had already entered the second and third layers of the Sword Intent Tower, and with no one able to enter the fourth layer in a short time, it was only that more people from the second layer had entered the third layer, which was not worth paying much attention to for everyone.
What they were concerned about was how many people could enter the fourth and fifth layers of the Sword Intent Tower this time. After all, the scene where nine people entered the third layer in a short time had indeed shocked them greatly.
"Hey, it seems someone has entered the fourth layer of the Sword Intent Tower."
At this moment, someone suddenly spoke up in the crowd.
As soon as these words came out, someone next to him immediately laughed, "Brother Luo, you must be seeing things?"
"Haha, that's right. Although I'm not a swordsman, I know that the fourth layer of the Sword Intent Tower is extremely terrifying. Anyone who can enter there is a top genius in the sword path. Therefore, the difficulty is extremely high. Historically, no one has been able to enter the fourth layer within a day."
"As far as I know, the sword path genius who broke into the fourth layer the fastest in history was the Ling Jian Huang from back then, but even he took around thirteen hours. It's only been over eight hours now, right?"
"Brother Luo, have you recently married a new concubine and are overworked?"
"Old Luo, although you are also a peak Wu Wang, you are no longer young, so take it easy!"
