Mortal Bones

"Swish!..."

At this moment, the knife sharpening boy, who had adjusted his breath, suddenly brought with him a powerful knife force, transformed into a nearly 100-foot-long flame knife shadow, and slashed at Bei Guoxiao, who was still standing there motionless.

"Bang!..."

But what no one expected was that when the 100-foot knife shadow was still more than 10 feet away from Xu Taiping's head, it was suddenly dispersed by the double dragon-shaped protective knife flames around Xu Taiping.

The knife sharpening boy fell to the ground in a very embarrassed manner.

And Xu Taiping, who was protected by the double dragon knife flames, finally opened his eyes at this time.

"Boom!——"

The moment he opened his eyes, the knife flames around him suddenly rushed into the sky, directly shattering the countless forbidden runes on the top of the knife testing pavilion.

At the same time, the knife energy spreading from his body broke through the surrounding barriers, and it was more like a real knife that kept slashing at the spectators.

The disciples of Xuandan Palace who were watching the battle had to use magic weapons to stop it.

But even so, no one chose to leave.

Because they could foresee that they would most likely witness a scene that would be recorded in the history of the sect.

"Boom!"

At this time, the knife sharpening boy who had stood up was seen to have a surge of energy around him again.

At the same time, the knife sharpening boy put his hand on the handle of the knife and said emotionlessly:

"Draw the knife."

For a moment, all the eyes of the knife-testing pavilion fell on Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping, who was still immersed in the perception of the extreme realm, glanced at the knife sharpening boy expressionlessly, then nodded slightly and put his hand on the handle of the knife.

"Boom!..."

The moment his hand was on the handle of the knife, the knife energy that was originally emitted from Xu Taiping's body suddenly merged into the knife energy of the spring knife in his hand.

Crack, crack, crack...

Instantly, countless fine cracks spread on the scabbard of the Spring Slash.

And the Spring Slash, which was still in the scabbard, also made an excited sound of the sword.

"Swish!..."

At this moment, the sharpening boy on the opposite side, who had been ready, suddenly drew his sword out of the scabbard.

"Boom!"

The moment the long sword was drawn out of the scabbard, the entire Wu Kui Building trembled.

Even the sky and earth outside the Wu Kui Building trembled violently when the sharpening boy drew his sword.

In the previous few moves, although the sharpening boy fell below, his understanding and improvement of the burning sword style did not stop.

"Boom!"

Immediately, in the sound of a blasting sword breaking, the flaming sword shadow of the sharpening boy swallowed Xu Taiping on the opposite side like a raging wave.

This scene shocked the hearts of all the disciples of the Xuandan Palace.

Because the sharpening boy's sword had surpassed the sword that Bei Guoxiao had used to defeat him just now.

"Swish!"

And until then, the sound of Xu Taiping drawing his sword finally came.

Just when everyone thought that Xu Taiping was powerless to save the situation, the sword flame of the boy sharpening the sword, like a raging wave, suddenly expanded like a ball.

"Boom!"

The next moment, in the horrified eyes of a disciple of the Xuandan Palace, the sword flame of the boy sharpening the sword, which had swelled several times, suddenly burst.

Following it, a dazzling sword light like a mirror cut through the body of the boy sharpening the sword and the spherical light curtain formed by the barrier of the Lotus Eye Sword Testing Pavilion.

Immediately, the sword light like a circular mirror began to spread suddenly with the ruins of the high platform as the center, as if to cut the entire Wukui Building with the Sword Testing Pavilion on the sixth floor as the boundary.

"Bang!"

But at this critical moment, the eight stone pillars originally placed on the second floor actually rose from the ground of the Sword Testing Pavilion, forcibly blocking the knife light.

"Boom!..."

Just before everyone's tense heartstrings were relaxed, they saw spots of light suddenly floating above the knife light imprisoned in the stone pillars.

This light spot, like the golden insect eggs, slowly rose up.

"Bang!"

Just as the disciples of Xuandan Palace were curious about what this was, they saw one of the golden "insect eggs" suddenly exploded and turned into a golden fire butterfly.

"Bang, bang, bang!..."

Gradually, the sound of explosions continued to sound, and the dense golden fire butterflies imprisoned in the eight stone pillars began to gather into a huge light column, slowly flying towards the roof of the Sword Testing Pavilion.

Just when all the cultivators, including Elder Niu, were confused, the voice of the Palace Master of Xuandan Palace suddenly exploded in the Sword Testing Pavilion like thunder.

"Close your eyes quickly! Guard your mind! Protect your body!"

Because it is one of the few sects in the Five Directions that will send disciples to the Heavenly Dao Demon Battlefield, the laws of Xuandan Palace are extremely strict.

So when the voice of the Palace Master of Xuandan Palace sounded, most of the disciples of Xuandan Palace instinctively obeyed the order of the Palace Master, closed their eyes, sacrificed the body-protecting Qi, and retracted the outer heart's spiritual perception.

But there are still a few disciples of Xuandan Palace who were too engrossed in watching and failed to follow the order in time.

And it was these disciples who saw a scene that they will never forget in their lives.

"Boom!..."

As the sound of a sword rang out mixed with the sounds of dragons and cranes, the thousands of fire butterflies that gathered into a column of light suddenly flapped their wings and rose up, turning into dazzling flames.

And these thousands of fire snakes finally gathered into a circular column of fire, which penetrated several roofs including the Sword Testing Pavilion and finally rushed into the sky.

At the same time, as the huge pillar of fire soared into the sky from the traditional Wukui Tower, it emitted a blazing light like the sun, and a heat wave that could melt the entire body of a monk.

And what's even more terrifying is.

This heat wave and that light, instead of weakening as time goes by, become more dazzling and scorching.

Those monks who didn't have time to close their eyes to protect themselves felt as if they were only a few feet away from the great sun in the sky.

Finally, amidst the screams, the eyes of the monks burned together, and the magic weapons on their bodies were torn apart.

Fortunately, the master of Xuandan Palace took action in time and completely blocked the dazzling light and heat wave.

But even as the palace master, he was still burned by the heat wave, so that the golden light that protected his body collapsed and his robes shattered.

Fortunately, this pillar of fire, which was as dazzling and hot as the sun, only lasted for a few breaths and then completely dissipated as if it had never appeared.

But even so, everyone who was shocked by the terrifying aura just now still closed their eyes and didn't even dare to take a breath.

Even the old palace master of Xuandan Palace only turned to look behind him after the pillar of fire completely dispersed.

Behind him, on the ruins of the high platform in the center of the knife-testing pavilion, Beiguo Xiao stood weakly with a pestle, while the knife-sharpening boy was kneeling on the ground with only the lower half of his body left.

He raised his head and looked at the roof of the Saber Trial Pavilion.

I found that although the roof seemed intact at first glance, when I looked closely, I could see that the roof was full of tiny holes that looked like needle holes.

Elder Niu on the side also discovered this and immediately asked with a trembling voice:

"Palace Master, just now, what was that just now?"

After the old palace master sensed that there were no casualties upstairs, his frown relaxed slightly, and then he murmured in reply:

"A sword cultivator breaks through the realm of sword cultivator with one sword."

He immediately added:

"And it's most likely an incomplete knife."

Upon hearing this, Elder Niu looked at Bei Guoxiao, who was standing with a pestle and knife, and then his scalp became numb and he said:

"He...he actually broke through to the Sword Immortal Realm?!"

The old palace master did not answer Elder Niu, but only stared at Bei Guoxiao meaningfully.

At this time, Xu Taiping, who was watching the scene in the Sword Testing Pavilion in a fugue, let out a long sigh of relief after hearing the old palace master's words:

"Fortunately, the knife was stopped in time."

The sword ghost on the side also looked frightened and said:

"The power of your Burning Sword Style has exceeded the scope of an ordinary sword in the extreme sword realm. Fortunately, the old palace master of Xuandan Palace took action in time, otherwise I am afraid that the entire Wukui Tower will be destroyed by your sword."

Xu Taiping nodded with fear and said:

"I didn't expect that the Burning Sword Style would have such astonishing power under my current Heaven-Shocking Realm cultivation and Great Saint Realm body."

Dao Gui took a deep look at Xu Taiping, and then asked:

"How much of your energy did that knife just consume?"

Xu Taiping smiled bitterly and said:

"Nine."

The sword ghost took a breath, and then said with some regret:

"It seems that the power of your extreme burning knife style is all the result of your hard work."

"Moreover, this is only an incomplete Ultimate Burning Sword Style."

"If it were a complete one-style ultimate burning sword, with your current divine energy and physical cultivation, I'm afraid it would be burned to ashes along with this sword."

When he said this, there was a look of regret in Dao Gui's eyes.

He originally planned to let Xu Taiping test the sword with him in the Ultimate Burning Sword Style. Now it seems that unless Xu Taiping's divine energy increases, there is no way to perform the complete Ultimate Burning Sword Style.

Xu Taiping also said with some regret at this time:

"Until the divine energy is improved, I'm afraid I can only use the incomplete Burning Sword Style."

When he said this, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked the sword ghost:

"Senior, this half of the Ultimate Burning Sword Style should be able to break the seal of the body of the Demon Emperor Jiao Demon God, right?"

The sword ghost rolled his eyes and Xu Taiping said:

"Your half-level Ultimate Burning Knife Style is stronger than some monks who have just entered the Hedao realm with their full strength. Why can't you break it?"

Hearing this, Xu Taiping immediately felt relieved.

"Pap, tap..."

At this moment, with the sound of heavy footsteps, Bei Guoxiao, who had also exhausted all his true energy and blood, was walking towards Fu Liu, Li Xueqing and others step by step, dragging the Spring Sword in his hand.

When Fu Liu saw this, he immediately pulled Li Xueqing, who looked frightened, to leave.

But just as the two of them turned around, Bei Guo laughed and stopped them:

"Junior Sister Xueqing, stay!"

After calling Li Xueqing, Bei Guo continued with a tired smile on his face:

"Junior sister Xueqing, don't worry, I won't embarrass you."

Bei Guo laughed while putting away his Zhanchundao, and continued with an extremely serious expression:

"I'm calling you today. I just want to ask you a few questions in person."

Seeing this scene, Xu Taiping immediately frowned and said:

"Does Bei Guo Xiao want to use today's power to get back together with Li Xueqing?"

And when Xu Taiping was talking like this, the lotus pupil of his left eye suddenly became hot, and a figure like a god appeared in his mind with one hand raised to the sky.

Upon closer inspection, the appearance of this god-man is strikingly similar to that of Bei Guoxiao.

Immediately, Xu Taiping's heart trembled and he secretly asked Lian Tong:

"Lian Tong, could it be that you saw something in Bei Guo Xiao?"

Lian Tong replied calmly:

"His previous life."

Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened and he said:

"Previous life? Could it be that Bei Guo Xiao, like the Haitang couple, is a banished immortal who was reborn after his death?"

Thinking of this, Xu Taiping took a deep breath, and then continued:

"And at this moment, it is his fight to find the Dao Seal?"
