Mortal Bones

After the coughing subsided, he suddenly said with a sad look on his face:

"This ghost sword has great intentions. If I can fight him face to face, I will definitely gain something. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I will never be able to pick up the sword again."

His cloudy eyes glanced at his rough old hands full of wounds with some regret.

When he heard this, the water around his waist suddenly made a "buzzing" sound, as if complaining that he shouldn't say these depressing words.

"Old friend, you can't do it if you don't accept it."

Duan Tianya gently patted the long knife on his waist.

"Mr. Duan, could it be that your cultivation during your lifetime has reached the state of transformation?"

Seeing that Duan Tianya was able to suppress the sword ghost, Xu Taiping suddenly asked curiously.

"Transformation state? No, no, I have only reached the peak of god refining in my whole life, but..."

Duan Tianya shook his head first, then smiled proudly and gave it up.

"But what?"

Xu Taiping asked immediately.

"I've killed."

Duan Tianya grinned, his smile full of pride and pride.

Although it is just three simple words, it is better than all the gorgeous words.

"Don't be so surprised. In the eyes of sword cultivators, there are always only those who can be killed and those who cannot be killed. There is no such thing as refining gods or transforming states."

After seeing the expression on Xu Taiping's face, Duan Tianya smiled and shook his head.

"Juniors have learned a lesson."

Although it is just an understatement, it already expresses the true meaning of sword training.

"juvenile."

Duan Tianya suddenly raised his head again and looked at Xu Taiping.

"What's the matter with Mr. Duan?"

Xu Taiping asked puzzledly.

"Want to learn how to use my sword?"

Duan Tianya asked with a smile.

Xu Taiping was startled at first, then nodded his head very honestly and said:

"think!"

Seeing Xu Taiping being so frank, Duan Tianya smiled heartily again.

"Come closer."

He then waved to Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping followed the instructions and moved his head closer.

Then, Duan Tianya stretched out a finger toward Xu Taiping again, gently touching his eyebrows.

As a buzzing sound sounded in his ears, pages of sword manuals flew into Xu Taiping's mind like snowflakes.

"I have accomplished nothing in my life, but in the way of swords, I believe that I am not inferior to anyone, even those monks in the realm of transformation."

"But you are not a disciple of the Tiandao Sect. I can't teach you the swordsmanship of the Tiandao Sect. But the swordsmanship I am teaching you today is because I spent decades in the cellar after I was expelled from the Tiandao Sect. What was created by time cannot be considered the swordsmanship of the Heavenly Sword Sect.”

"My original intention in creating this sword technique was to use it to break through the Nine Netherworlds alone in order to avenge being injured by the demon, so I named him the Demon-Slaying Sword."

Duan Tianya explained to Xu Taiping with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Duan, for the sword."

Xu Taiping solemnly thanked him again.

Although it was only a quick glance, the sword skills described in this set of demon-slaying knives had already amazed him.

He never thought that he could practice swordsmanship like this.

"The sword on your waist is good, but after all it is only an ordinary sword and cannot use the power of my sword technique."

As Duan Tianya spoke, he took off the water-breaking knife from his waist.

"My old friend has a bad temper, but he has the best knife in the world. I hope you can treat him well, young man."

Then, he held the blade with one hand, handed it to Xu Taiping and said

As soon as he said this, the long knife in his hand kept whining, as if he didn't want to be separated from it.

Xu Taiping hesitated.

"Mr. Duan, even ten pots of gentian wine are not worthy of your knife."

Xu Taiping refused seriously.

The sword is different from the sword manual. There are too many things in it, and he really can't bear it.

"But you deserve it."

Not only did Duan Tianya not take back the hand holding the knife, but his eyes towards Xu Taiping became even firmer.

"With only a mortal body, no matter how great the opportunity is, without perseverance, it is impossible to reach this point. I have traveled to many places for hundreds of years, and I will never make a mistake."

He then added firmly.

"Mr. Duan, how did you know that I am a mortal?"

Once again, his identity was exposed, and Xu Taiping finally couldn't help but ask Duan Tianya.

"When I traveled around the world, the worst battle I lost was against a mortal bone monk. The fist and sword you showed when you punched and wielded your sword were exactly the same as his."

As Duan Tianya spoke, he forced the water-breaking knife in his hand into Xu Taiping's arms.

"who is he?"

Xu Taiping asked curiously, holding the water-breaking knife with both hands.

"Youyun Prefecture, Xiliang Kingdom, guarded Zhenhai Tower alone for nine hundred years, killed countless demon generals of the abyss, faced the demon lord alone, and killed Zhang Tianze, the general who dared not invade Xiliang for nine hundred years."

Duan Tianya said with reverence in his eyes.

"Can a mortal human being be able to fight against the Demon Lord alone?"

Xu Taiping's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Young man, you may not know something. Although it is not easy to practice with mortal bones, once you embark on the road of cultivation, your mind is much tougher than that of ordinary monks. Therefore, in other worlds, most of the monks who can persist in contending with demonic cultivation are mortal bones. Therefore, what the demon cultivator hates the most is the mortal bone cultivator.”

Duan Tianya said with a serious expression.

Xu Taiping had never thought that in other worlds, mortal bone monks could do such astonishing things.

"If possible, I hope that one day, young man, you can take me, your old friend, to fight against the demon lord of Youyun Province again, so that hundreds of thousands of years later, when the world has long forgotten me, Duan Tianya, you can still remember my demon-slaying skills. Knife, remember this old friend of mine.”

Duan Tianya grinned at Xu Taiping.

After realizing that Mr. Duan indeed had high hopes for him, he stopped refusing, put away the water-breaking knife, and then said solemnly: "Although I don't know if I can get to that point, Xu Taiping, maybe It will insult Mr. Duan’s sword skills and your sword.”

"Very good, very good."

Duan Tianya smiled heartily after hearing this.

"I originally thought that this demon-slaying knife would follow me to the grave, but I didn't expect that I would find a good successor when I was about to die. God has been kind to me."

He said with emotion on his face.

Having said this, Duan Tianya suddenly raised his hand and took a stack of letters and a wooden box in the building into his hand.

"Most of the books in this building that have some use have been stolen. Only the notebooks of the owner of Tingfeng Building are of some use. They are letters exchanged between him and a certain immortal when he exchanged his cultivation experience. If you and the little girl can carefully A careful understanding may be of some use to your future practice.”

As Duan Tianya spoke, he divided the dozen letters into two parts and handed them into the hands of Xu Taiping and Lin Buyu respectively.

At the same time, he opened the wooden box and took out two jade bracelets.

"This jade bracelet is the centerpiece of Tingfeng Tower. After you go to the study room, you only need to hold the fingers of the hand wearing the jade bracelet together to activate the teleportation array and teleport you to the ruins of the Immortal Mansion. Several other teleportation locations.”

As Duan Tianya spoke, he handed the two jade bracelets to Xu Taiping and Lin Buyu.
