Mortal Bones

"Zhu Xue, the head disciple of Huang Maple Valley, came to ask about the sword and asked Taoist Taiping for advice!"

After the voice of Elder Black Dragon sounded, Huang Maple Valley Zhu Xue was the first to see his sword fly down from the stands, and then amidst the sound of the sword, he raised his hand to Xu Taiping, who was already standing on the Sword Town Platform.

"Zhu Xuejian, knowing that she is defeated but still going to the court to question the sword, is she planning to consume Taiping's true energy for her senior brother Shen Li, right?"

In the stands where the Seven Peaks disciples were, Zhao Linglong crossed her arms and curled her lips in displeasure after seeing this.

"That's not entirely the reason."

Huang Que on the side withdrew his gaze from the spiritual mirror, then glanced at Zhu Xuejian on the Jianjian Ping, then smiled and shook his head and said: "Jueming Mansion selects people for the Qingyun Society, and it does not just look at the outcome. It also depends on the monk’s specific performance in the competition.”

As he spoke, he turned to look at Zhao Linglong and continued:

"If you perform well, you may still be selected by the Jue Ming Mansion and be granted the qualification to participate in the Qingyun Club."

Hearing this, Zhao Linglong suddenly realized, nodded and said:

"No wonder since Juemingtian shouted, all the sects of Zhenwutian, big and small, came to fawn over us, Qingxuan, and all wanted to ask Taiping for swordsmanship."

"Your Taiping is now a cash cow."

Huang Que smiled "hehe" and then placed the spiritual mirror in front of Zhao Linglong.

Zhao Linglong glanced at the spiritual mirror handed over by Huang Que, then her beautiful eyes widened and she said:

"There are actually 10,000 monks watching the battle this time?!"

"This is just Zhenwu Tian. The number of monks watching the battle in other four directions is probably over 10,000."

"Isn't that more than during our sect's grand ceremony?" Zhao Linglong looked surprised.

"It will definitely be better than that time." Huang Que nodded.

"Why is this happening?" Zhao Linglong was very puzzled.

"Firstly, it's because Taiping became more famous after the battle with the two faceless men in the Faceless Tower. Secondly..."

Huang Que sighed when he said this, and then said with regret:

"Secondly, there should be many people who are curious about whether Taiping's cultivation has declined as rumored, and he has been unable to recover after being hit by the Bone Crushing Curse."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Linglong immediately frowned and said with an angry expression:

"My little junior brother will never get back up after a setback. Even if he reaches the stage of divine refining, he will definitely be the best in the world!"

"Yes, with Xiao Taiping's character, it is impossible for him to recover from this."

Huang Que nodded in approval.

"Furthermore, with this golden money, even if Taiping cannot become a master of transformation, he can at least become a wealthy businessman in the world of cultivation."

He pointed at the golden number on the spiritual mirror that was still beating.

Part of the reason why Jiufu was keen on organizing this sword inquiry was to find a way out for Xu Taiping.

After all, in the spiritual world, there are many things that can be settled with money.

However, Zhao Linglong on the side suddenly dimmed her eyes after hearing these words and said:

"If it weren't for Qingxuan's disaster, with my junior brother's talent, he should have gone further."

Having said this, she looked up again at the Zhenjian Ping below, looking at Xu Taiping who was walking towards the center of the Zhenjian Ping, and then murmured: "If there is a spell that can break my junior brother's bone-breaking spell, How nice it would be to move to me.”

While the two were talking, Xu Taiping had already walked up to Zhu Xuejian, cupped his hands at her and said:

"Xue Jian, the girl said something serious, so I don't dare to take my advice seriously."

As he said that, he put down his hand, put one hand on the handle of the knife that was cut off from the water at his waist, and made a gesture of invitation with the other hand:

"please."

In fact, this was just a polite gesture, but in the eyes of the narrow-minded Zhu Xuejian, Xu Taiping was looking down on her and not taking her seriously.

"excuse me!"

Zhu Xuejian, who had a gloomy face, snorted coldly, then pinched his sword fingers with his hand and mobilized almost all the sword energy in the Qi Palace to focus on the natal flying sword in front of him.

"Zheng!..."

In the piercing sound of the sword, Zhu Xue saw the flying sword flying toward Xu Taiping with a "roar" like a rolling wave of sword energy.

Not only Qingxuan and the others did not expect such a full blow as soon as they came up, but even the disciples of Huang Maple Valley did not expect it.

"Xue Jian, you girl, even if you can get some benefits in the first few moves, you will end up with a reputation for being ungrateful after the competition!"

Looking at Zhu Xue's sudden all-out blow, Zhu Yuan, the owner of Yellow Maple Valley, said very dissatisfied.

In his opinion, this sword-fighting was not a life-and-death contest, and with the monks all over the world watching, Zhu Xuejian would definitely be ridiculed by the monks all over the world for doing this in the future.

"bass!"

While he was speaking, Xu Taiping drew his sword out of its sheath, and a dazzling sword light immediately slashed away at the sword energy that filled the sky.

At first, Zhu Yuan didn't pay too much attention to Xu Taiping's sword, he just thought it was quite satisfactory. It wasn't until a cicada-like cry of the sword suddenly exploded that Zhu Yuan's pupils suddenly dilated, revealing a terrifying expression. color.

"boom!--"

Amidst the cicada-like cries of swords, Xu Taiping's aura fluctuations suddenly increased, and the power of his blood and true energy instantly turned into a sword aura with the power of a stormy sea, followed by a domineering sword force. With a "boom" sound, it hit Zhu Xuejian and her sword force like a meteor falling to the ground.

"boom!"

Amidst the huge earthquake, Zhu Xue's sword force and the wave-like sword energy exploded in an instant.

"Uh-huh!"

And Xu Taiping's sword energy gathered on the long sword in an instant, turning into a sharp sword shadow several dozen feet long, and slashed towards Zhu Xuejian with a "bang".

At this time, Zhu Xuejian, who was suppressed by Xu Taiping's sword, could not move at all, and could only watch the sword slashing towards him.

"No!"

After Huangfeng Valley Master Zhu Yuan reacted, he shouted immediately.

But Xu Taiping's sword was too fast, and even if he wanted to intervene in this sword-asking, it was too late.

"Bang!——".

Just when everyone thought that Zhu Xuejian was going to be chopped in half by a sword, a scene that shocked everyone happened.

The huge sword shadow of several dozen feet was actually fixed one or two feet in front of Zhu Xuejian's forehead, and with this mighty sword energy, it hit the ground on both sides of Zhu Xuejian with a "bang", shaking the water in the Five Elders Pond to fly more than ten feet high.

"The power of this knife, I'm afraid even a strong man at the peak of the Refining Spirit Realm would not dare to take it, right?"

After feeling the power of this knife, a disciple of the Yellow Maple Valley could not help but mutter to himself.

And the valley master Zhu Yuan exhaled a long breath of turbid air, and muttered with a very solemn expression:

"Being able to use such a powerful knife to the point of being able to control it freely, is this the true strength of the Golden Scale Leader?"

Then, an uproar resounded throughout the Five Old Pond.

At this moment, whether it was the Wu Lao Tan stand or the cultivators in front of the spirit mirrors, they suddenly recalled the scene of Xu Taiping defeating the third prince of the Chu State with one sword at the Golden Scale Meeting that day.

...

Jue Mingtian, in a study room in Guangling Pavilion.

"He, he is the leader of the Golden Scales, the leader of the Golden Scales who has stood out from the countless geniuses of the Five Directions. How dare you, the ignorant and fearless people of Zhenwu Heaven, look down on him like this?"

Mu Yun, the young master of Guangling Pavilion, who was sitting in front of the spiritual mirror, said excitedly with his eyes shining after seeing Xu Taiping's sword.

"Those who have never fought with him cannot understand how terrifying Xu Taiping is as a sword cultivator."

Ji Ye on the side also nodded in agreement.
