Mortal Bones

"Boom!"

It would be a bit far-fetched to conclude that Su Chan had lost just because he failed to catch Xu Taiping's punch.

With a loud bang, a black sword energy condensed by the power of Wuji Wufa suddenly exploded from the direction where Su Chan fell to the ground.

The Zhenwutian cultivators who were still worried were relieved and burst into a deafening cheer.

Mu Zhixing, the head of Guangling Pavilion, finally spoke after a long silence:

"The breath of the Overlord, the extreme fist of the ancestor saint, and the last fist intention that revived his fist power."

"Xu Taiping's punch just now, at least among the martial artists in Wangtian Realm or even Wentian Realm that I know, is second to none."

"It is no exaggeration to call it the ultimate martial arts in the world."

Everyone in the wing room, even Mu Yuchen, who didn't like Xu Taiping very much, nodded in agreement.

Putting aside other things, even if everyone in the room attacked together, they might not be able to take Xu Taiping's punch just now.

In the face of true strength, any prejudice is untenable.

Just like everyone in the room at this moment.

At this moment, whether it is the surrounding stands or the monks watching the battle in front of the spirit mirror, they are also discussing Xu Taiping's punch very enthusiastically.

In the end, they came to the same conclusion as Mu Zhixing-

"This punch can be called the ultimate method in the world."

For this style of wrathful thunder and mountain-fixing style, in fact, even Xu Taiping himself may not be able to hit a second punch.

Because in order to hit such a powerful punch, in addition to one's own combat power and boxing comprehension, the opponent encountered is equally important.

If it weren't for Su Chan's Thousand Petal Holy Lotus, which forced Xu Taiping's wrathful thunder-style fist to decline, he would not be able to perform the demon ancestor's fist "Watching the Mountain and Embracing the Moon".

Without this Guanshan and Embracing the Moon fist, the power of this punch would be greatly reduced, and at most it would be considered an ordinary ultimate method punch.

But the difference is

Xu Taiping did not think that Su Chan would be defeated with just this one punch.

After all, he had personally witnessed the fight between Su Chan and Fairy Lingyue.

"Boom!"

Just as Xu Taiping guessed, accompanied by a sound of earth shaking, a slender black sword light "clanged" from the hundred-foot-deep pit that Su Chan had smashed.

Immediately afterwards, in the stunned eyes of the monks watching the battle, the black sword light suddenly grew larger and turned into the trunk of a towering tree.

The next moment, the whole world darkened, and a thick golden branch began to grow on the black tree at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time as the golden branch grew, the violent sword energy, like a torrent rushing out of a river when it burst its banks, spread out with the black tree as the center.

It was not the first time that Xu Taiping had seen this black tree. He silently pressed the handle of the Broken Water Knife on his waist with his hand, and once again used all his strength to stimulate the remaining blood and true essence in his body.

"Swish!"

Without any hesitation, Xu Taiping broke through the air, flew over the black tree, and then drew his sword from its sheath and chopped down at the black tree.

"Bang!"

Amidst the loud tremor, a golden sword shadow over a hundred feet long chopped down at the towering black tree with a golden branch under the dim sky.

"Bang!"

Amid the loud tremor, everyone saw in shock that the golden sword shadow over a hundred feet long transformed by Xu Taiping's sword had already collapsed before it even touched the black tree.

Looking carefully, everyone suddenly discovered that what shattered Xu Taiping's sword shadow was actually a golden leaf that flew out from the golden branch.

And at this moment, everyone suddenly saw that the golden branch on the towering black tree had actually grown more than a dozen golden twigs, hundreds of golden leaves, and three golden fruits.

The leaves on the golden branch are as colorful as gold foil. The leaves are long and thin, like bamboo and swords. The veins of the leaves are unusual, like the talisman pattern.

The golden fruit looks like a pear, but its skin is very similar to an apple.

And like the leaves, there is an extremely mysterious rune pattern on the surface of the golden fruit.

After a short period of silence, a monk suddenly shouted in the spiritual mirror:

"What exactly is this black wood golden branch? How can a leaf break the sword of Taoist Master Xu Taiping?"

This question can be said to be a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.

The monks watching the battle in the spiritual mirror talked a lot, but no one really saw the origin of the black wood golden branch.

Until the shouting of a female monk named Xiahou You, the discussion of the crowd was suppressed.

I only heard Xiahou You shouting:

"This wood is the result of Su Chan's infinite power and sword intent. Its roots and trunk are the infinite power, and its branches are the power of its original demon seed. The golden leaves are the swordsmanship he has practiced all his life."

"This Su Chan, who turned the invisible into the visible, opened up a great road for himself, and has great ambitions."

This made many cultivators confused.

But high-level cultivators like Mu Zhixing nodded in agreement and said:

"The girl from the Xiahou family does have some knowledge."

Just as he was talking, Xu Taiping, who was watching the battle in the spirit mirror, chopped down the black wood again.

"Bang!"

But just like last time, the long sword in Xu Taiping's hand still failed to touch the black wood before the golden leaves intercepted the sword.

Seeing this scene, Monk Xuanzhi suddenly said in confusion:

"Although this leaf is the result of Su Chan's swordsmanship, the killing power seems to be greater than when Su Chan used it himself."

Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master Mu Zhixing looked deeply at Xuanzhi, then nodded and said:

"Little monk, you read that right."

As he spoke, his eyes once again fell on the black tree in the shadow of the spectators, and he continued:

"When the invisible law becomes tangible, the constraints of heaven will be reduced, and the killing power will naturally become greater."

When Zhang Moyan heard this, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and then he murmured:

"In this case, if Su Chan turns all the methods he has cultivated into tangible objects, wouldn't he also be able to circumvent the Heavenly Law of Jian Kuibang?"

Mu Zhixing frowned and nodded:

"That's right!"

And just as the two of them were talking like this, the sound of cicadas suddenly sounded among the shadows watching the battle.

Everyone looked up and saw a golden cicada appearing on the golden branches of the black tree.

If you look closely, you can see that this golden cicada, whose entire body looks like it is made of gold, is covered with dense cracks.

There was even blood seeping out of the crack.

After seeing the oozing blood, Zhang Moyan suddenly widened his eyes with a confused look on his face:

"Is this golden cicada transformed by Su Chan?"

Hearing this, everyone in the wing except Mu Zhixing had expressions of bewilderment.

Just when several people wanted to confirm with Mu Zhixing, the chirping of the cicada in the phantom watching the battle above Jianping suddenly stopped, and then the golden cicada, which was full of cracks, began to shed its shell amidst the screams.

"The golden cicada sheds... its shell?"

Mu Yun blurted out after seeing this.

Zhang Moyan on the side said with a worried look on his face:

"I once heard that there is a very powerful magical power that allows a golden cicada to shed its shell. After cultivating that magical power, no matter how serious the injury is, it only needs to shed its shell once to heal."

Hearing this, everyone suddenly looked panicked as they recalled that Zhang Moyan had previously said that this golden cicada was transformed by Su Chan.

The little princess Chu Tiancheng said with a worried look:

"If this golden cicada is Su Chan, doesn't it mean that after he sheds his shell, his injuries will be restored to the original?"

Mu Zhixing nodded silently.
