Mortal Bones

"Click!..."

After hitting the Shang Jiu with one punch, the Buddhist beads in Xu Taiping's left hand broke into pieces.

This time, he got three Buddhist beads at the cost of sealing the sword for a day.

After using the "Equality of All Beings" once, there is no need to recite the scriptures again. Because of this, he caught Shang Jiu by surprise.

"Bai Yu, come in too."

Xu Taiping did not chase after the Shang Jiu, but quickly put Ping An into the gourd and called Bai Yu to come in, preparing to let them rest in the gourd.

At the same time, his eyes were fixed on Shang Jiu who fell in the rubble in front of him.

"good."

Bai Yu's body turned into the size of a sparrow and flew straight into the gourd.

After putting Bai Yu and Ping An into the gourd, Xu Taiping asked Fairy Lingyue in his heart: "Sister Lingyue, how long will it take for that insect hole to open?"

The main reason why Fairy Lingyue chose this star-catching platform as the location for Xu Taiping's breakthrough was that there was a bug hole inside.

"It's almost here. It only takes a cup of tea at most. The location is nearby."

Fairy Lingyue replied.

Xu Taiping nodded slightly when he heard this.

"I'll go into the gourd to check on Ping An and Bai Yu's injuries. You drag him for a while."

After Fairy Lingyue said this, she got into the gourd.

"bass!……"

Almost at the same time, a ray of sword light flew out from the ruins in the distance and headed straight for Xu Taiping.

The power of this sword was more than ten times stronger than that of the demon Su Su's corpse puppet.

"This is the true God of Refining."

Xu Taiping was shocked.

However, even if that person was a refining god, he still could not escape the restraint of the precepts of equality of all living beings in the Thousand Buddha Kingdom. When he was still twenty or thirty feet away from Xu Taiping, his power suddenly weakened.

"boom!"

Xu Taiping saw the opportunity and punched him.

With a "bang" sound, the sword light and Shang Jiu behind the sword light were hit by Xu Taiping's punch and took several steps back.

"You can really suppress my cultivation to the same level as yours."

After Shang Jiu stood still, he looked at Xu Taiping in surprise.

But immediately, his expression turned cold again, and he asked Xu Taiping again: "Let me ask you again, where did you steal your sword skills?"

Hearing this, Xu Taiping frowned.

I thought to myself, this person has been asking me about my sword skills, could it be that he recognizes the Demon-Slaying Sword? It's impossible. Mr. Duan clearly said that this sword technique was created when he was imprisoned and no one knows about it.

"What does it have to do with you?"

Thinking of this, Xu Taiping glared at Shang Jiu, and then opened the stance of the Qingniu Great Sage Fist.

"Don't you use a knife?"

Shang Jiu raised the blood-red sword in his hand, stared at Xu Taiping, and walked slowly.

"No need."

Xu Taiping said expressionlessly.

Hearing this, Shang Jiu's face suddenly turned cold, and he took a step forward. With one foot on the ground, he whirled his body and slashed towards Xu Taiping with a knife.

"Uh-huh!"

In the sound of breaking through the air, the crisscrossing shadows of knives, like big crosses, all slashed towards Xu Taiping.

"Is this the sword technique of the Heavenly Sword Sect?"

Seeing this sword technique, Xu Taiping was surprised, and quickly opened the sky-beating boxing stance. Then his fists alternated, turning into dozens of fist shadows, and punched the sword shadows all over the sky.

"boom!"

Amidst the huge earthquake, the sword shadows all over the sky were shattered by Xu Taiping's punch.

After breaking through the Tongxuan Realm, his control of the Qingniu Great Sage Fist became obviously easier.

However, the reason why he was able to break through Shang Jiu's sword technique so easily was not only the power of the Qingniu Great Sage Fist itself, but also because of his understanding of the sword.

His fight with the Sword Demon allowed him to experience all kinds of exquisite sword skills, some of which were even as good as the Demon-Slaying Sword.

So when facing Shang Jiu's sword, he reacted instinctively and found a way to break it.

"who are you?"

Shang Jiu naturally saw this.

Then he saw him questioning Xu Taiping again with a cold face.

"and who are you?"

Xu Taiping asked rhetorically.

While speaking, he inadvertently glanced at the Buddhist beads in his hand out of the corner of his eye. After discovering that there was only one Buddhist bead left, he couldn't help but become a little nervous.

The man in front of him has an extremely high level of cultivation. Even if his realm is pushed down to Tongxuan, his strength is not inferior to him.

"I am Shang Jiu, the former master of the Tiandao Sect."

Shang Jiu deliberately reported his name, just to find some clues from Xu Taiping's reaction.

"Are you that Shang Jiu?"

Xu Taiping did not hide his surprise.

"Do you recognize me? Did the person who taught you knife skills mention me to you?"

Shang Jiu continued to ask.

Xu Taiping shook his head and said:

"Shangjiu from the Tiandao Sect deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors. Who doesn't know that?"

Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to reveal the news about Mr. Duan to Shang Jiu.

"No, the person who taught you knife skills must have told you that."

Shang Jiu smiled, then pointed the knife at Xu Taiping and said:

"Is it Duan Tianya who taught you sword skills?"

Xu Taiping didn't expect that Shang Jiu had guessed it himself.

But how could he admit it? He immediately shook his head and said:

"I do not know what you're talking about."

When Shang Jiu heard this, without saying a word, while his body flew out, the long knife in his hand turned into countless knife shadows, and he slashed at Xu Taiping with extremely fast speed.

Facing Shang Jiu's violent sword attack, Xu Taiping was not afraid at all.

In the same situation of being in the Tongxuan realm, his boxing skills and the experience gained from countless training with Daogui made him able to deal with it with ease.

"You are indeed his disciple."

Just after Xu Taiping broke Shangjiu's sword force again, Shangjiu suddenly snorted coldly as if he had confirmed something.

Immediately, he saw that his sword skills suddenly changed.

With a sharp sound of sword, the moment Shangjiu's long sword chopped out, a fierce sword force locked Xu Taiping.

Facing this sword force, Xu Taiping felt like a small tree in the sandstorm, without any power to resist.

"Taiping, jump into the well behind you!"

The voice of Fairy Lingyue sounded in Xu Taiping's mind at this time.

"Crack!"

Just at this moment, the last Buddhist bead on his wrist broke.

Without any hesitation, Xu Taiping threw the feather given to him by Uncle Baihong to Shangjiu.

"Bang!"

Amidst the loud tremors, the feather turned into a pair of huge wings, which helped Xu Taiping take the blow from Shangjiu.

At this moment, Xu Taiping used the skill of "A World Away" and jumped into the well behind him.

This was the location of the insect nest that Fairy Lingyue had discovered.

But even after jumping into the well, the terrifying sword energy of Shangjiu still caught up with him.

However, as Xu Taiping fell into the water with a "plop", the world around him darkened, and the sound and light disappeared.
