Mortal Bones

Although Qingxiao and Zi Yan had said before that Lu Yuan was the focus of all the peaks this time, Zhao Linglong still wanted to confirm it.

"From what we have seen so far, if there was no competition with Tian Qi in the last match, Taiping might have had a 30% to 40% chance, but now, I am afraid he has no chance at all."

Dugu Qingxiao said solemnly.

This was his judgment based on Xu Taiping's performance last time, combined with what he knew about Lu Yuan's cultivation strength.

"Taiping's luck is really bad."

Zi Yan also nodded at this time, sighing softly.

"Lu Yuan, we six peaks have observed him for a long time. Although he is a white spirit bone, he has never stopped taking all kinds of spiritual herbs and elixirs since he was a child, relying on his family's financial resources. His cultivation has now reached the middle stage of Kaimen Realm. And the Fiery Sun Blade he practiced is a rare martial arts secret passed down in his family. You should know that Tian Qi's Ghost Shadow Kick is also considered a superior martial arts."

She continued to explain.

Zhao Linglong's face immediately became more worried when she heard this.

"Don't think too much. Based on Taiping's performance just now, I can persuade Master to accept him into the Seven Peaks."

Qingxiao comforted Zhao Linglong.

"Won't Taiping's three years of hard work be in vain?"

Zhao Linglong looked at the figure of the young man standing in front of the sign in the bronze mirror, with regret in her eyes.

"Brother, did you see the scar on his arm? Look carefully, the new wounds overlap the old ones. It must be the damage he suffered during these years of practice."

"He can practice an ordinary Qingniu Fist to that level. It must have cost him a lot of effort, and what he wants is just to become a formal disciple."

"And just because he is just a skeleton, just because he has no family background, three years of hard work and efforts will be in vain. Isn't it too unfair for him?"

At the end of the words, Zhao Linglong bit her lip and turned to look at Dugu Qingxiao.

If she hadn't seen Xu Taiping's competition, she might have thought that bringing him to the Seven Peaks would be the best choice. But at this moment, when she thought that the countless efforts this young man had spent in the past three years were about to become in vain, she felt a strong sense of unwillingness in her heart.

She was like this, let alone Xu Taiping himself?

But Zhao Linglong certainly didn't know that everything she saw in Xu Taiping was just the tip of the iceberg of what Xu Taiping had endured in the past three years.

"I don't think he will lose."

At this moment, Lin Buyu, who had been silent from beginning to end, suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, several people looked at her in surprise.

"Buyu, why did you suddenly say that?"

Zi Yan looked at Lin Buyu with some confusion.

Sometimes she really couldn't figure out what her little sister was thinking.

"Intuition."

Lin Buyu looked at the three people indifferently, and then continued to look at the bronze mirror.

She still remembers clearly the scene when the young man from the Red Maple Forest fell from the sky and punched the demon tiger.

In his opinion, a young man who had the courage to face the demon tiger alone would never stop there.

However, when Zi Yan and the others asked, Lin Buyu became silent again, and no matter how they asked, he didn't say a word.

"It seems that the competition is about to begin."

In the end, Qing Xiao and the others' attention was attracted by the scene in the bronze mirror where Xu Taiping and Lu Yuan were on the stage together.

"Wait a minute, is Taiping going to use a knife in this match? Can he use a knife?"

When they saw Xu Taiping taking off the cloth strips on his hands and putting his hands on the handle of the knife at his waist, they all showed surprise on their faces, even Lin Buyu was no exception.

...

In front of the Dragon Gate Hall.

On the Tianzi-shaped arena.

"Junior brother Xu, the last competition was really eye-opening."

A young man in white smiled and bowed to Xu Taiping.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Senior Brother Lu."

Xu Taiping smiled.

The man in front of him was naturally his opponent Lu Yuan.

"Just now I wanted to go up and get to know you, Brother Taiping, but I was chosen to be your opponent in this match. What a pity. It would be great if we could step onto the stage of the Seven Summits together."

Lu Yuan said with some regret.

Xu Taiping could see that, at least from the way he spoke, Lu Yuan's words did not seem to be against his will.

Of course, he would not be so naive as to relax his vigilance just because of the other party's recognition.

In his opinion, once he stood on this stage, there would only be opponents, no friends.

"If you two are ready, the competition can begin."

At this time, the supervisor on the stage reminded the two.

"In the last match, Junior Brother Xu's Green Ox Fist was wonderful. I was itching to show my skills. This time, I finally have the opportunity to learn a few moves."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he took two steps back and posed as if he was ready to draw his sword.

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint Senior Brother Lu."

Xu Taiping also took a few steps back, then put his hand on the handle of the long sword at his waist and continued:

"In this fight, I'll use the sword."

"You... use the sword?"

Lu Yuan was stunned, wondering if he had heard it wrong.

It's true that Xu Taiping always had a sword on him, but he hardly used it.

Giving up his best boxing skills and using the sword instead.

Not only Lu Yuan couldn't figure it out, but the monks around the ring were in an uproar, not understanding why Xu Taiping gave up his Qingniu Fist.

After several competitions, because of the amazing performance of the Green Ox Fist, everyone almost tacitly accepted that it was Xu Taiping's unique martial art. Some people even began to speculate that the Green Ox Fist boxing manual that Xu Taiping practiced was different from the one they practiced.

And you have to know that Lu Yuan, who was standing in front of him at the moment, practiced the martial arts unique martial arts Lieyang Blade. Isn't this like hitting a rock with an egg?

Many people think that Xu Taiping is just bluffing.

They all think that when the competition starts, he will definitely use the Green Ox Fist again.
