Mortal Bones

……

Eight-sided building, the eighth floor.

"Qingxuan Sect Xu Taiping, are you really willing to give up climbing the tower and exchange for a chance to test the sword with me?"

Hearing that Xu Taiping would rather give up climbing the tower and test the sword with him, Dao Nu's cold and indifferent face once again revealed a trace of "living" emotion.

"Please give me a chance, Senior Dao Nu."

Xu Taiping nodded with an extremely firm look in his eyes.

Giving up climbing the tower directly and choosing to test the sword with Dao Nu was a matter of careful consideration, not an impulsive act.

First of all, according to his experience along the way to Xuanhuang Tower, the dangers encountered on each floor of Xuanhuang Tower are greater than the next floor.

So even if he can rely on luck to avoid Dao Nu on the tenth floor, he will still have to face an opponent stronger than Dao Nu on the eleventh floor.

Instead of doing this, it is better to use Dao Nu as a ruler to infer how strong the opponent encountered on the eleventh floor is.

Secondly, just now, when he sensed the sudden change in Dao Nu's sword intention and sword momentum, he suddenly had a lot of insights in his heart.

"The Dao Qi Tong Xuan that Senior Dao Gui mentioned before, maybe I can master it this time when I test my sword with Dao Nu."

Xu Taiping murmured in his heart.

According to Dao Gui, his current swordsmanship is very close to Dao Qi Tong Xuan, and he is just one step away.

If he can master Dao Qi Tong Xuan at this time, he will not be afraid of facing Dao Gui in front of him or the unknown opponent at the eleventh level.

After hearing Xu Taiping's words, Dao Nu used his lifeless eyes to "watch" Xu Taiping quietly for a moment, and then nodded heavily and said:

"Okay!"

As he said that, he raised his arm and hammered heavily behind him without looking back.

Immediately, there was a loud "bang", and the door behind him that originally appeared out of thin air was smashed into pieces by his punch.

Then, he walked back and said to Xu Taiping with a cold expression:

"Let me be frank. You are so arrogant to give up the chance to climb the tower directly. If you can't show some real skills to satisfy me, I will not only show no mercy, but also expel you from Xuanhuang Tower. Like Chu Yinan from Nanchu, you will not be allowed to enter the tower within ten years."

When he said this, Dao Nu's hand was already on the hilt of the knife, and his face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it.

"Of course!"

Seeing that Dao Nu was willing to test the knife with him, Xu Taiping was relieved.

...

"Giving up the chance to climb the tower directly and choosing to test the knife with Dao Nu, what is Xu Taiping thinking?"

In the Nanchu Palace, the King of Chu was stunned for a long time, and then he murmured in disbelief.

The expression of Qionghua Sword Immortal was also very complicated at this time.

Only the old martial god Zhu Huai looked at Xu Taiping in the spirit mirror with an extremely hot look.

Until he saw the knife slave in the spirit mirror agreed to test the knife with Xu Taiping, he murmured without blinking:

"We still underestimated this kid."

The King of Chu frowned when he heard this, then looked at Zhu Huai with a puzzled look and asked:

"Why did Zhu Lao say that?"

"Alas..."

Before Zhu Huai could speak, he heard the Qionghua Sword Immortal beside him suddenly sighed, then explained to the King of Chu with a wry smile:

"What Zhu Lao said is right, we underestimated Xu Taiping too much. Not only does he want to climb the tower, he also wants to use this knife slave as his own whetstone, so that the 'knife' in his hand will become sharper when he enters the eleventh floor of the Xuanhuang Tower!"

When the Qionghua Sword Immortal finished speaking, Zhu Huai also nodded and said:

"This kid has not been overwhelmed by the current situation. He is still using every opportunity he can to constantly improve himself."

After hearing what the two said, the King of Chu finally understood a little at this time, and looked at Xu Taiping without any contempt.

"Boom!——"

At this moment, a deafening explosion sound suddenly came from the spirit mirror.

The three people looked closely and saw that in the spirit mirror, the sword energy around the blind knife slave turned into flames again, and in an instant, it enveloped the entire eighth floor hall of the Eight-sided Building.

"He actually used the sword energy Tongxuan right at the beginning. Could it be that this knife slave has already regarded Xu Taiping as an equal opponent?!"

After seeing the actions of the knife slave in the spirit mirror, the faces of the three people showed horror.

You must know that before this, the knife slave did not even take the lead in drawing the knife when facing Yun Ye, Luo Cheng and others.

"Swish!"

Almost at the same time when the knife slave turned the sword energy into flames to cover the entire hall, Xu Taiping, who had already pressed his hand on the hilt of the knife, suddenly jumped forward and pulled the knife out of the sheath with force.

"Open!"

When the Thunder Soul Knife was unsheathed, Xu Taiping shouted and opened the knife domain mountain soul.

Facing an opponent like the knife slave, he did not dare to leave any spare strength.

"Boom!..."

The moment the sword domain Shanpo opened, the invisible power of Shanpo in the sword domain dispersed the flames transformed by the sword energy of the sword slave in just a moment.

"Shua!"

However, the sword slave was not afraid of the sword domain at all. With flames rising all over his body, he jumped into the Shanpo sword domain with a long sword in his hand, and then slashed at Xu Taiping with a heavy sword.

"Bang!"

What surprised the people watching the battle in front of the spirit mirror was that facing the sword slave's sword that was slashing with the power of mountains and seas, Xu Taiping just raised his sword to block it lightly and bounced it off.

"Boom!..."

If it weren't for the air wave caused by the collision of the two swords, which broke open all the windows around the Eight-sided Building, it would be hard for everyone to imagine how powerful Xu Taiping's casual block was.

"Shua!"

After blocking the ordinary sword move of the sword slave, Xu Taiping slashed at the sword slave who was putting away his sword with a sword shadow flashing with thunder.

"Bang!——"

Although the sword slave finally turned the blade to meet the sword at the last moment, Xu Taiping used the power of the mountain soul in the mountain soul sword domain to slash with a very heavy sword force, which directly broke the sword slave's sword force and made his thin body fly backwards like a straight line and hit the wall of the Eight-sided Building heavily.

"Bang!"

But at the moment when the sword slave's body hit the wall heavily, his eyes, which originally had only white eyes but no black eyes, suddenly flew out two balls of golden flames.

At the moment when the golden flame flew out, a pair of golden double pupils suddenly appeared in his pupilless eyes.

"Boom!——"

As the pair of golden double pupils opened, the fluctuation of the aura on the sword slave suddenly surged more than ten times.

The sparse sword flames that were originally wrapped around him suddenly swept out like a surging wave and rushed straight towards Xu Taiping.

...

"The sword slave's double pupils have opened!"

In the Southern Chu Palace, the old martial god Zhu Huai stood up with an extremely excited look.

"Just after fighting, the double pupils opened. Is the sword slave so afraid of Xu Taiping?"

The expression on the face of the Qionghua Sword Immortal was extremely complicated.
