Mortal Bones

You have to know that this baby ghost is a ghost of the zombie level. After its body has been tempered by blood and qi, even Xu Taiping's dragon whale physique at the extreme state may not be stronger than it.

So you can imagine how terrible the power of Duan Xiaoyu's knife is.

"Bang!"

At this time, the baby ghost suddenly showed a wandering body soul and used his sharp claws to grab Duan Xiaoyu.

Although Duan Xiaoyu's knife just now was powerful, as long as you fail to kill it with one blow, the existence of the ghost zombie can counterattack immediately.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

In a flash, Duan Xiaoyu's knife was suppressed by the baby ghost and began to switch from offense to defense.

However, after gradually adapting to the speed and strength of the baby ghost, Duan Xiaoyu, who was more and more calm in dealing with it, quickly took the claws of the baby ghost, turned his head to look at Xu Taiping at the door, and shouted intermittently:

"Brother Taiping, I am Duan Xiaoyu."

"No... Sorry, I forgot the time when I was practicing sword last night, and I was late by accident."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping no longer doubted Duan Xiaoyu's identity.

"Xiaoyu, did Jiang Wushen teach you this sword technique?"

Xu Taiping smiled faintly and asked.

"Yes, yes!"

Duan Xiaoyu chopped the baby ghost with a sword, and then smiled and nodded vigorously at Xu Taiping.

After the two said goodbye at the Pilu Zen Temple that day, Duan Xiaoyu stayed in Youyuntian to learn sword from the martial god Jiang Cuicui, and Xu Taiping returned to Zhenwutian alone.

"In less than a year, Xiaoyu has made such progress. Jiang Wushen really has a unique vision."

Looking at Duan Xiaoyu's seemingly clumsy but actually exquisite swordsmanship, Xu Taiping couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Bang!"

As Duan Xiaoyu chopped off the claws of the baby ghost with another knife, the door on the eighth floor of the Bamian Building locked, and it opened automatically with a "click".

Then Duan Xiaoyu shouted to Xu Taiping:

"Brother Taiping, go upstairs quickly, I can deal with this baby ghost!"

As she spoke, the breath fluctuations around the baby ghost suddenly "boomed" and rose again.

Frightened by the breath fluctuations, Duan Xiaoyu quickly took a step back, then smiled awkwardly at Xu Taiping and said:

"This...I'm not prepared, Brother Taiping, I can really deal with him!"

Although she was very confident, the panic in her eyes still betrayed her.

Xu Taiping was even more clear that this baby ghost had not yet revealed its true strength, and it would be many times more difficult for Duan Xiaoyu to deal with it in the future.

But in the end, he still gave Duan Xiaoyu an affirmative look and nodded heavily:

"Yes!"

He believed in Duan Xiaoyu. After all, when she was in the Immortal Gourd Secret Realm, her strength was far less than hers now, but she could rely on her perseverance to resist the disciples of Huangfeng Valley who had been possessed by demons.

"Xiaoyu, thank you!"

Xu Taiping thanked Duan Xiaoyu again.

"No... no thanks!"

Feeling the recognition in Xu Taiping's words, Duan Xiaoyu suddenly became energetic. While speaking, he held the handle of the knife with both hands and chopped the baby ghost away with a "bang".

Seeing this, Xu Taiping no longer hesitated and stepped onto the steps leading to the eighth floor of Xuanhuang Tower.

...

"Boom!..."

Xu Taiping, who had just sold the last step, heard a loud noise coming from the door.

Then, the air wave with sharp blade energy hit his chest heavily.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Although the air wave did not make him move an inch, the several protective qi outside his body were still broken three times in a row.

When the air wave dissipated, Xu Taiping took a step forward and looked inside the door.

"Zheng!"

Behind the door, a man was flying a sword and fighting with a blind swordsman with disheveled hair and dull eyes.

Xu Taiping took a closer look at the man flying the sword and found that it was Yun Ye, the Three Emperors Dao Palace, who had parted with him before.

After scanning the tower again, he immediately found two familiar figures——

"The Third Prince Chu Yinan and Luo Cheng of Bajing Dao Palace."

After recognizing the three people, Xu Taiping's eyes fell on the swordsman who was fighting with Yun Ye, and he murmured in his heart:

"So this blind swordsman is the legendary sword slave, right?"

Before climbing the tower, he had already learned from the information sent by Xiahou Qingyuan that the eight-sided building on the tenth floor of Xuanhuang Tower could be challenged by eight monks outside the tower at the same time.

In other words, after entering from different gates of the eight-sided building, as long as you can defeat the seven evils, you will eventually enter the eighth floor guarded by the sword slave.

And in these eight floors, as long as you can defeat the sword slave within one stick of incense, you can get the qualification to go to the eleventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower.

So some people say that the sword slave is the gatekeeper of the eleventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower.

"Swish!"

Just as Xu Taiping was thinking this, a sound of breaking through the air mixed with the sound of a knife suddenly exploded, and the flying sword that Yun Ye had sacrificed and the mighty sword energy that poured out along with the sword energy were all split apart by the blind knife slave.

"Bang!"

After splitting Yun Ye's sword energy with one knife, the blind knife slave's sword energy did not decrease but increased. The violent sword energy was like a flying top, spinning at high speed and attacking Yun Ye.

"Bang!——"

Although Yun Ye had displayed dozens of body-protecting sword auras at the last moment, they were eventually broken one by one by the blind knife slave's sword energy.

"Shua!"

Yun Ye, whose body-protecting sword aura was broken, was submerged by a sword light before he could use his body skills to escape.

The next moment, the dazzling blade pierced through his body and cut him in half.

This blade, whether it was Xu Taiping, or Luo Cheng of the Bajing Dao Palace and the third prince Chu Yinan in the building behind the door, were all stunned.

"Not only did Yun Ye lose, but he was also defeated by the most common moves of the knife slave."

Xu Taiping murmured solemnly.

As a fellow knife cultivator, he saw clearly that the three moves that the knife slave just used to defeat Yun Ye were the most common knife moves.

It is even possible that they were just the opening moves of his knife.

Suddenly, a familiar figure emerged in Xu Taiping's mind——

"Knife Ghost."

That's right, the knife of the blind knife slave reminded him of the knife ghost when he was seriously testing the knife with him.

"What are you doing sneaking around outside? Come in!"

Just as Xu Taiping was thinking this, a sharp shout from the knife slave suddenly came from behind the door.
