Mortal Bones

After feeling this terrifying fighting spirit, both Xiahou Qingyuan and Li Yezhu had a layer of fine cold sweat on their backs.

But even so, the two of them still stared at each other without blinking.

The more it was at this time, the more they dared not act rashly.

Because once the other party saw the flaw, they would surely die.

"Bang!"

Almost at the same time when the fighting spirit appeared, a heavy object was thrown down from the upstairs and fell right between the two of them.

This time, the moment it landed, the two of them determined the identity of the heavy object -

"Yellow dog."

"Uh..."

On the ground, the yellow dog with a big cut on its neck, one hand desperately covered its neck, and the other hand stretched out to Li Yezhu with all its strength, as if asking him for help.

Xiahou Qingyuan didn't dare to move.

Li Yezhu didn't dare to move either.

Xiahou Qingyuan didn't dare to move because he still suspected that this was Li Yezhu's plan to disturb his mind.

He even suspected that the scene in front of him was created by Li Yezhu using some kind of illusion, in order to make him act rashly.

Li Yezhu did not dare to move, because he really did not dare to move.

The yellow dog had become like this, and Xiahou Qingyuan was staring at him, and if he moved, he would die.

"Alas..."

Just as the two were in a stalemate again, a sigh suddenly came from upstairs.

Immediately afterwards, a figure floated to the ground, right next to the yellow dog.

The person who came was Xu Taiping.

However, in the eyes of Xiahou Qingyuan and Li Yezhu at this time, the person who jumped down from the upstairs was just a pale and weak scholar.

But even if Xu Taiping appeared, Li Yezhu and Xiahou Qingyuan remained motionless.

"So that's it."

Seeing this scene, Xu Taiping nodded with a look of realization.

This time, he was not going to show up, after all, hiding in the dark could better help Xiahou Qingyuan and others.

So in order to hide his existence, he did not kill the yellow dog directly, but forced the yellow dog to cry for help.

He thought that with Xiahou Qingyuan's cultivation, he would definitely be able to judge that the yellow dog's demon power was broken.

But he didn't expect Xiahou Qingyuan to be indifferent.

So he had no choice but to use his fighting spirit and directly beat the yellow dog seriously.

But Xiahou Qingyuan still didn't show any reaction.

Then he jumped down.

It was not until then that he realized that Xiahou Qingyuan and Li Yezhu were at a critical moment of victory or defeat.

"Pah, pah..."

So Xu Taiping didn't say anything, walked straight towards the yellow dog, squatted down without saying a word, put his hand on the yellow dog's head, and then turned to look at Xiahou Qingyuan and said:

"Brother Dao, I will kill him, you draw your sword."

The reason why he dared to say this in front of Li Yezhu was naturally because he had seen that as long as Xiahou Qingyuan was there, Li Yezhu would not dare to attack him.

Of course, he did not dare to attack Li Yezhu.

After all, there was a gap between their cultivation levels, and this was not the Xuanhuang Tower. Li Yezhu's cultivation level was not suppressed in the Refining Spirit Realm.

"Boom!..."

At this moment, the yellow dog probably saw that he was doomed to die, and was ready to die with Xu Taiping by exploding his body with demonic energy.

However, Xu Taiping, who had seen too many monsters in the Xuanhuang Tower, had already condensed the flame in his palm before the yellow dog was ready to explode his body with demonic energy.

"Bang!..."

In a burst of sound mixed with a sharp sonic boom, before the yellow dog's demonic energy exploded, his head had been burned into a mass by the flame.

Even his headless body was instantly wrapped in the flame.

When the power of the demon species failed, facing Xu Taiping, who had a strong fighting spirit like a veteran martial god and could condense the Return to Origin True Fire, the yellow dog demon species had no power to fight back.

"Zheng!——"

Although this scene was somewhat unbelievable, Xiahou Qingyuan still stabbed Li Yezhu with a sword at the moment when Xu Taiping condensed the flame.

"Bang!"

Amidst a sonic boom, Xiahou Qingyuan's sword was like a straight line of fire, piercing through Li Yezhu's chest.

But just when Xu Taiping thought that Xiahou Qingyuan's sword could kill Li Yezhu, there was a "bang" and Li Yezhu's body suddenly turned into a thick beam.

"Huh?"

Xu Taiping looked at the beam in surprise.

He only remembered that Li Yezhu could use his original demon seed power to create a substitute puppet among the puppets he controlled to block a fatal blow for him.

But it was obvious that Li Yezhu had used up his substitute puppets in the battle with Xiahou Qingyuan just now, otherwise he would not have been deadlocked with Xiahou Qingyuan for so long.

However, when Xu Taiping looked at Xiahou Qingyuan, he found that he was not surprised at all, so he was even more surprised.

"What he just used was not a substitute puppet, but the ability called 'stealing the sky and changing the day' that he obtained after his original demon power broke through the third level."

Xiahou Qingyuan saw Xu Taiping's confusion and explained to Xu Taiping with a tired look.

"Thank you for clearing up my confusion, brother."

Xu Taiping smiled and thanked Xiahou Qingyuan.

"You are too polite, little brother."

Xiahou Qingyuan waved his hand and smiled bitterly, then asked Xu Taiping:

"What's your name, little brother?"

"Wuyou." Xu Taiping reported his alias.

He was not ready to reveal his identity in front of Xiahou Qingyuan and the others for the time being.

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Qingyuan solemnly clasped his fists to Xu Taiping and said, "Thanks to Brother Wuyou's help this time, I am afraid that my fellow apprentices and I will all die in Jufeng Tower."

"Brother Xiahou, you are too kind. It's just a small favor." Xu Taiping smiled and shook his head.

"Brother Xiahou, I have some private matters to deal with, so I won't stay here."

Without waiting for Xiahou Qingyuan to speak, Xu Taiping said goodbye directly.

Once Huang Quan died, Jiang Zhi and Zhao Linglong in his world must have escaped. He was afraid that if he continued to stay here, his identity would be discovered by the two sisters.

After all, they had been together for many years, and his tone of voice and body language could not deceive the two.

"Brother Wuyou, it's so late, where are you going?"

Xiahou Qingyuan asked curiously.

"Dry Stone Sea."

Xu Taiping thought about it seriously and felt that they might meet in the Dry Stone Sea as Wuyou, so he did not hide it.

Hearing this, Xiahou Qingyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately persuaded Xu Taiping:

"Fellow Daoist Wuyou, the end of our trip is also the Dry Stone Sea. Why don't we go together so that we can take care of each other."

And Xu Taiping's next answer directly dispelled Xiahou Qingyuan's idea of ​​inviting him to go together-

"Brother Daoist Xiahou, I am going to the Dry Stone Sea to find the Blue Eyed Evil Lord, so it is inconvenient for me to go with you."

"It is indeed a bit inconvenient..." Xiahou Qingyuan smiled bitterly.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping smiled, and then pointed to the body of the yellow dog and said:

"Brother Daoist Xiahou, can I take the body of the yellow dog demon species away?"

"This demon was killed by Brother Daoist Wuyou, you can take it away!"

Xiahou Qingyuan said very generously.

"Thank you."

Xu Taiping smiled and thanked him, then quickly collected the yellow dog's body.

The body of a demon lord-level monster can be exchanged for at least 100,000 gold coins on the black market, and some special demon species can even be exchanged for 300,000 to 1 million gold coins.

This is undoubtedly a timely help for Xu Taiping, who now has only tens of thousands of gold coins on hand.

"Oh, right."

Just as he was about to leave, Xu Taiping seemed to remember something, so he turned around and asked Xiahou Qingyuan:

"Brother Xiahou, do you know where to deal with this demon corpse?"

Xiahou Qingyuan was stunned at first, then took out a token from his arms and threw it to Xu Taiping, saying:

"Brother Wuyou, if you want to sell this demon corpse for a good price, you can go to the Old Dragon Court in the Dry Stone Sea. This token allows you to enter and exit the Old Dragon Court freely."

"Thank you, Brother Xiahou." Hearing this, Xu Taiping, who got the token, once again clasped his fists to Xiahou Qingyuan, "See you later."

...

Half a month later.

Dry Stone Sea.

"Is this the legendary Dry Stone Sea?"

Xu Taiping, sitting on Bai Yu's back, looked at the vast land below with huge stone pillars standing on it, and said in surprise.

At this moment, a green light rose from the sky and finally turned into a tall figure blocking Xu Taiping:

"Young man, there is a sea of ​​dry rocks ahead."

"Spiritual birds are forbidden to travel!"

"Ordinary bones are forbidden to travel!"

"Those with roots below the golden spiritual bones must pay 10,000 gold coins before they can travel!"
