Mortal Bones

"Bang."

"Bang."

"Bang."

Because the force was too light, the sound was hard to hear if you didn't listen carefully, and it was even worse than the sound of knocking on the door.

Seeing this scene, Fairy Lingyue's eyes were inexplicably hot and her heart trembled.

"Since Taiping has not given up, how can I make a decision for him?"

Fairy Lingyue frowned and pushed the scroll back to Cangshu Tianjun, then crossed her arms and said in a resolute voice:

"Boss, if my disciple died in Xuanhuang Tower, I would like to ask you to go to Xuanhuangtian with me."

Hearing this, everyone in the hall changed their faces.

Anyone can hear that the meaning behind Yuezhu's words is to ask Cangshu Tianju, the chief of Linyuan Pavilion, to go to Xuanhuangtian with him to avenge Xu Taiping.

Cangshu Tianjun reached out and held the scroll that Fairy Lingyue pushed back. After thinking seriously for a moment, he suddenly nodded solemnly and said:

"Okay."

Cangshu Tianjun's "Okay" made everyone in the hall scalp numb.

"Count me in."

Not long after, Wuji Xianweng raised his chin and said proudly.

"Count me in, too."

San Xi Yunhua sighed first, then put his hands in his sleeves and looked at Fairy Lingyue very seriously.

"Senior Yuezhu, count me in!"

Ye Chensha, who was standing next to Fairy Lingyue, also said with a hint of excitement at this time.

Seeing this, Fairy Lingyue felt an inexplicable pain in her heart.

She knew very well that the reason why these people were willing to go with her was not because they were selling her face, but because they were completely infected by Xu Taiping's straightforward behavior today.

"Bang!——"

Just as Fairy Lingyue was about to speak in response, a deafening collision sound suddenly came from the shadow cast by the Haotian Mirror.

Everyone looked closely and then looked stunned.

Xu Taiping, whose whole body was wrapped in the flames of true fire and was constantly struck by thick lightning, actually used his remaining body after turning into a dragon to hit the Heavenly Gate again, and once again opened a gap in the Heavenly Gate that was almost completely closed.

"He is still unwilling to give up after being injured like this?"

Ye Chensha murmured in astonishment.

"Bang!"

Just as he was speaking, Xu Taiping in the shadow hit the Heavenly Gate again, breaking a dragon horn directly, and an eyeball of the dragon head was shattered by the thunder of the heavenly power, leaving only a dark eye hole.

"Born as a human!"

After knocking the Heavenly Gate open a few more feet, Xu Taiping's almost roaring recitation suddenly came from the shadow of the spiritual mirror.

"You should cultivate yourself!"

"You should save people!"

"You should be like water!"

After each roar, he would risk the pain of being burned by the thunder and fire again, and slam his long-collapsed dragon head heavily on the gate of heaven.

"This is... the motto left by the ancestor of the book, and it is also the discipline that every disciple of Qingxuan Sect must recite when he is like a mountain."

Amid the puzzled eyes of the people in the hall, Fairy Lingyue took a deep breath, clenched her fists and muttered to herself.

At this moment, her mind began to constantly emerge the scene of Xu Taiping living alone at the foot of the mountain, sitting upright at the table and reciting these sect rules.

And the one that Xu Taiping just roared and chanted was his favorite one among these disciplines.

"Being born as a human being, it should be like this."

Fairy Lingyue still remembered that when she asked Xu Taiping why he liked this sentence, Xu Taiping answered with his slightly childish but extremely firm voice.

"You, live in the abyss of evil and do good!"

As Xu Taiping roared out the last sentence of the Book Ancestor's true words, he combined all the energy of his blood and true essence into one blow, and then desperately mobilized all the strength of his body and slammed heavily on the gate of heaven.

"Bang!——"

With a collision sound like a mountain collapse, the dragon whale body of Xu Taiping after he turned into a dragon almost hit the gate of heaven with his fist.

"Boom boom!..."

The next moment, the shadow trembled, and the gate of heaven, which was only half opened, was completely opened by Xu Taiping's collision.

"Open... open?!"

Fairy Lingyue exclaimed in a somewhat out-of-control manner.

"Boom!——"

But before she could be happy, a golden light transformed by the power of heaven once again poured down from the gate of heaven like a waterfall.

Although this power of heaven was many times smaller than the previous ones,

But because of the collision just now, Xu Taiping's muscles and bones were almost all broken at this moment, and he was barely connected by his skin and flesh. Not to mention the power of heaven, even an ordinary punch from an ordinary cultivator might not be able to withstand it.

"Bang!"

Without any surprise, the moment the golden light transformed by the power of heaven wrapped around Xu Taiping, he returned to his normal body.

Just like before, as his body fell towards Dengyuntai, his skin, flesh and bones were scraped away bit by bit by the golden light transformed by the power of heaven.

But this time, Xu Taiping didn't say a word, because he had lost his perception due to the pain.

At this moment, he was like a drowning person, sinking to the bottom of the water bit by bit, and the light in front of his eyes disappeared bit by bit.

"I... am I... going to die?"

Seeing that the last bit of light was about to move away from him, Xu Taiping stretched out a hand and tried to catch the light.

But it was useless, he kept falling and kept moving away from the light.

"The blood and energy are gone."

"The true essence is gone."

"Flesh and blood, gone."

"The muscles and bones are gone."

"It seems like... I really have... nothing left..."

When the light was about to disappear completely, Xu Taiping's arms hung down feebly, and an indescribable feeling of nothingness swallowed him up bit by bit.

"Zheng!"

And just when he was about to be completely swallowed by the feeling of nothingness, a sword sound suddenly sounded in the dead silence of nothingness.

Immediately afterwards, an old voice "buzzed" in his mind -

"This sword can be the sword in your hand, or it can be the sword in your heart."

"This sword can be your fist and kick when you are unable to lift your fist."

"This sword can kill the enemy for you when your sword breaks into pieces."

"This sword can be your backbone when it is broken."

"This sword can rebuild your Tao heart when it is broken."

"No matter how desperate you are, there is a sword that can hide you, help you defend yourself against the enemy, and guard your Taoist heart."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly opened his eyes, staring blankly at the Tianmen above the sky as if waking up from a big dream:

"I don't have nothing."

"I still have a sword!"

After saying this, he suddenly raised his already bone-white arm, put his index and middle fingers together with only the phalanges left, and pointed at the doorway that day:

"My sword can open the gate of heaven!"
