Mortal Bones

"Let's go, don't worry about me!"

After killing the Peacock King and being stunned for a short time, Bai Yu suddenly looked at the bamboo man in front of him with an anxious face.

"What kind of hero are you trying to be?"

At this moment, a figure came to Bai Yu silently, and then opened the lid of the gourd in his hand with a "bang":

"Come in quickly."

"Tai... Taiping?!"

Bai Yu was stunned.

Yes, the person who came was Xu Taiping.

But at this time, Xu Taiping had fired the bow twice in a row, and he was already very weak.

"Taiping, take this kid away, I will block this sword."

The fairy Lingyue, who possessed the bamboo man, threw the knife in her hand to Xu Taiping, then stepped on the void and jumped up, facing the sword falling on her head, and punched it.

"Hurry up."

Xu Taiping urged Bai Yu.

"But I..."

"You want to use your death to make your father worry-free, right?"

Before Bai Yu finished speaking, Xu Taiping interrupted him.

Then he used the soul contract for the first time and ordered:

"Come in, without my permission, you must not die even if your father tells you to!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu was forcibly taken into the gourd by Xu Taiping.

Bai Yu wanted to struggle, but Xu Taiping said:

"Have you ever thought that Uncle Bai Hong only has you as a relative in this world? If you are not here, what is the meaning of his revenge?"

Xu Taiping knew very well the feeling of being alone after losing a relative.

Bai Yu in the gourd finally stopped struggling after hearing this.

"Want to escape? It's not that easy!"

At this moment, a sharp sword light broke through the air and pierced Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping turned his head and saw that the master of the first peak, who had a hole in his chest, was flying his sword towards him.

Without any hesitation, Xu Taiping pointed at the sword light.

Cang Luan Ring, breaking the cloud.

Because the power was accumulated in advance, the power of this finger was not affected by Xu Taiping's current state. With a "bang", it blocked the sword of the peak master Jin Yue.

"Fortunately, it was a sword in an injured state, otherwise Po Yun might not be able to block it."

Xu Taiping thought with lingering fear, while urging all the spiritual power in his body and began to use the "Close to the World".

With a "bang", Xu Taiping's figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

At this time, Fairy Lingyue also released all the power of the bamboo man and punched the flying sword heavily.

"Bang!"

The bamboo man was shattered into powder with a loud tremor, and the flying sword was blasted back a hundred feet.

"Asshole!"

An angry roar resounded through the mountains like thunder.

...

The second half of this night.

Juanniao Manor, Demon Slaying Platform

After searching for most of the night, the disciples of Qilutang finally dispersed. This forest, which used to be somewhat lively, suddenly became dead silent.

And it was in this dead silence.

Two figures, one in front and one behind, stepped onto the demon-slaying platform.

"Uncle Jiu, I have seen everything I should see, but what my child said is right. I can't be that good guy anymore. The revenge of my people must be avenged, and the revenge of my wife must be avenged even more. None of them can escape."

A middle-aged man in white looked at an old man leaning against a stone pillar and drinking wine.

The middle-aged man was Bai Hong, who had transformed into a human form after breaking through the demon lord realm.

The old man was naturally Uncle Jiu.

"What's so good about your kid? He's just a reckless man!"

Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes at Bai Hong.

Bai Hong was stunned at first, and then said with a look of realization:

"You asked me to see Xu Taiping?"

"How is it?" Uncle Jiu looked at Bai Hong with a smile.

"Many years ago, I thought he was good and recommended him to you, Uncle Jiu."

Bai Hong smiled bitterly.

"But what does this have to do with what we are going to talk about today?"

He asked Uncle Jiu in confusion.

"It doesn't matter. I just brought you to see him."

Uncle Jiu said as a matter of course.

"Uncle Jiu, let's talk business."

Bai Hong suddenly became serious.

"You say."

Uncle Jiu nodded.

"I want to kill Zhou Tong."

Bai Hong said bluntly.

Uncle Jiu was silent, just pouring the wine in the gourd into his mouth.

"Not to mention the hatred between him and me, you should know what Zhou Tong has been doing secretly in order to raise that sword over the years."

Bai Hong continued with a serious face.

"You broke through the demon lord two years ago, why did you come this year?"

Uncle Jiu did not answer but asked back.

Bai Hong hesitated for a moment, and finally said:

"I am waiting for the news of your death, Uncle Jiu."

Uncle Jiu raised his head and smiled heartily when he heard it.

"But it's been three years, and you're still alive and well, so I can't wait any longer."

Bai Hong sighed.

"Bai Hong, give me some more time."

Uncle Jiu suddenly looked at Bai Hong seriously.

"How much time?"

Bai Hong asked.

"In the next Seven Peaks Competition, I will have someone ask Zhou Tong for a sword. If he loses, he will be removed from the position of the headmaster and expelled from Qingxuan. I won't interfere with what you want to do with him after that."

Uncle Jiu said in a gloomy tone.

Hearing this, Bai Hong frowned.

He did know that Qingxuan Sect had a rule that if one won the sword-asking contest with the headmaster, he could replace him.

But he didn't think anyone in Qingxuan could be a match for the martial arts fanatic Zhou Tong.

"Uncle Jiu, the person you chose, wouldn't it be Taiping?"

Bai Hong asked with some concern.

"Although Taiping's cultivation progress is very fast, and he got a great opportunity in Yunmengze, but even so, he will die if he asks Zhou Tong for the sword."

He then added.

"Am I that stupid?"

Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes at Bai Hong, then took a sip of wine and continued:

"But this person is indeed on the seventh peak."
