Mortal Bones

"What's going on? Why hasn't the young master made a move yet?"

"Junior brother..."

"If Taiping doesn't make a move, it will probably be too late."

The sixth floor of the Eight-sided Building.

Gu Qingcheng and Zhao Linglong, who had already defeated the six evils, all looked at the spiritual mirror in the building with confusion.

Especially Gu Qingcheng.

After spending some time in the Xuanhuang Tower, she already knew some of Xu Taiping's methods, and knew that even if the sword slave's sword energy was fierce, Xu Taiping should not be as helpless as he is now.

"If I remember correctly, the young master's Thunder Flame and the Demon Slayer after the fusion of the sword domain can restrain the sword slave's sword energy."

Gu Qingcheng said in confusion.

"Junior brother, is it possible that he is borrowing the sword slave's sword energy... to test the sword?"

After feeding Zhao Linglong a pill, Dugu Qingxiao also looked up at the spiritual mirror in front of him and said with an extremely solemn expression.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingcheng's frown suddenly relaxed, and her beautiful eyes lit up.

She recalled the battle between Xu Taiping and Ge Shuye that day.

Because it was in that battle that Xu Taiping mastered the method of tempering blood and energy, and integrated the boxing manuals of two sets of Great Saint Fists, and finally defeated Ge Shuye.

"Yes... there is this possibility!"

Gu Qingcheng's face suddenly flashed with excitement.

"Miss Qingcheng, do you know something?"

Dugu Qingxiao keenly noticed that Gu Qingcheng's words were full of meaning.

Although he had been in contact with Xu Taiping for much longer than Gu Qingcheng, because he entered the tower too late, he didn't know what Xu Taiping had experienced in the tower before.

"I don't know what the young master is going to do, but he will definitely not be so helpless."

She had already guessed something, but this guess was too bold. Even if she said it at this time, I'm afraid Dugu Qingxiao and others would not believe it.

…

"As a sword cultivator, Xu Taiping is indeed gifted, but there is still a big gap between him and the sword slave who once dominated the Shangqing Realm with his sword every day."

In the Southern Chu Palace, Qionghua Sword Immortal looked at the spiritual mirror in front of him and commented very pertinently.

"In terms of sword cultivation attainments, there is indeed a big gap between him and the sword cultivators."

Zhu Huai nodded, and then added:

"But this is only his first time to test his sword with the sword slave. If he continues to fight with the sword slave a few more times, there may be another sword immortal in the Shangqing Realm."

Hearing this, the King of Chu and the Qionghua Sword Immortal were both shocked.

Unlike Youyuntian's Martial God, the Sword Immortal is not a simple honorific title, but a realm title.

Just like the Sword Immortal of Qionghua.

But the difference is that the killing spirit of the sword cultivators is too strong, even more than that of the sword cultivators.

Because of this, the practice of the sword cultivators is not tolerated by the heaven. If you want to win the title of sword immortal in sword skills, the hard work and disasters you have to encounter are several times more than those of sword cultivators.

So to this day, the number of sword immortals in Shangqing Realm is still very few.

"These are all later stories."

The Qionghua Sword Immortal shook his head.

He disagreed with Zhu Huai's inference. After all, no matter what, Xu Taiping's spirit bones have been shattered. Let alone being called a sword immortal, it is almost impossible for him to break through the realm of transformation.

"Ka Ka Ka!..."

Just as the two were talking, a sound of ice crystals breaking suddenly came from the spirit mirror.

"It's over."

Seeing that the huge piece of black ice that wrapped Xu Taiping in the spirit mirror was cracking at a speed visible to the naked eye, the King of Chu leaned back in his chair and said with a hint of relief in his eyes.

In his opinion, no matter how talented Xu Taiping was, after this defeat, he could only be blocked outside the Xuanhuang Tower for ten years like his third son Chu Yinan.

In this way, the third prince Chu Yinan and Xu Taiping returned to the same starting point.

"If you practice hard with me for another ten years in seclusion, the third prince will definitely be able to pass the test of this knife slave and be the first to reach the eleventh floor of the Xuanhuang Tower."

The Qionghua Sword Immortal nodded slightly.

For practitioners, ten years passed quickly in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, as early as when they entered the tower, they were ready to spend ten, twenty or even thirty years to reach the top of the tower.

It doesn't matter if they spend a little more time.

"Bang!..."

At this time, with a burst of knife mist hitting heavily, the thick black ice that wrapped Xu Taiping was broken by half at once.

Through the broken black ice, it can be clearly seen that Xu Taiping still has his eyes closed and the long sword in his hand erected in front of him.

The only difference was that around Xu Taiping and on the long sword in his hand, there were always flashes of lightning.

However, several people thought that this was the thunder power on the long sword in Xu Taiping's hand. After all, Xu Taiping had used the thunder power of this precious sword to condense thunder flames before, so they didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the knife mist swirling around Xu Taiping surged up like a raging wave in the sea, and hit the black ice wall around Xu Taiping heavily.

"Bang!"

With just one blow, the thick layer of black ice protecting Xu Taiping was shattered.

At the same time, the knife mist that had already gathered from all directions suddenly slammed towards Xu Taiping in the center like a blood-colored sandstorm.

Seeing this scene, the King of Chu stood up and prepared to leave his seat.

In his opinion, once Xu Taiping was defeated, the joint tower climbing style of the Shangqing Realm cultivators would come to an end.

“Bang!”

At this time, a loud noise was heard again in the spirit mirror.

At first, the three thought it was the sound of the knife mist shattering Xu Taiping’s martial arts body, until they saw that the blood mist covering Xu Taiping was suddenly torn apart by several blue lightnings, and then they reacted.

“How is this possible?!”

Qionghua Sword Immortal suddenly stood up and exclaimed in astonishment.
