Mortal Bones

"If you want to practice swordsmanship, you must master the ultimate meaning of martial arts; possess the body of a martial god; and have a set of swordsmanship skills that can be practiced to the extreme. All three are indispensable."

In the blood-red sword field, Xu Taiping and Sword Ghost sat cross-legged on the ground facing each other.

"And now that you have all three, you can naturally practice."

The sword ghost crossed his arms in front of his chest, his eyes were serious, not angry and intimidating.

"Senior Daogui, forgive me for being abrupt, why are you willing to teach me this?"

After Xu Taiping thought carefully, he finally asked what was in his mind.

In fact, even now, his relationship with the sword ghost is not harmonious.

For example, when he enters the sword realm to practice swordsmanship, the sword ghost will still kill him again and again. The killing intent cannot be faked.

If Fairy Lingyue hadn't been suppressing him, Xu Taiping believed that the sword ghost would still find ways to occupy his body.

"I won't hide anything from you either."

After thinking about it seriously, Dao Gui raised his eyes and looked directly at Xu Taiping and said:

"Every time I try swordsmanship with you over the years, I will think of something. Especially every time your swordsmanship improves, the more things I will think of."

When he said this, the sword ghost suddenly raised a hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and gently raised it in the direction of the surging blood river.

Just hearing a "boom", broken buildings immediately rose from the blood river.

Xu Taiping, who has been training with Sword Demon for more than ten years, knows that this is a sign that Sword Demon has broken the sword realm and is repairing it.

"So in my opinion, instead of going to others to test the sword and retrieve your memory, it is better to train you to be a swordsman who can fight with me."

The sword ghost continued to cross his arms and said with a serious face.

"Thank you, senior, for telling the truth."

Xu Taiping cupped his fists to say thank you.

Dao Gui raised his hand to signal to Xu Taiping that you're welcome, and at the same time continued to say with a serious face:

"The reason why I decided to guide you to practice the sword realm is because when you sensed the ultimate intention, I suddenly remembered many, many things. This means that when you take the next step, maybe I can retrieve the complete memory."

When he said this, he paused, then stared at Xu Taiping with his eyes like a knife and said:

"But by then, I will most likely get rid of the shackles of this ghost talisman, and I will most likely kill you."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping fell silent, seeming to be making a decision.

It was a matter of life and death, so he had to be cautious.

"If you are afraid, don't learn from me."

The sword ghost snorted coldly.

Hearing this, Xu Taiping showed a smile, raised his head and said:

"I also ask Senior Sword Demon to teach me how to practice the Sword Realm."

Hearing this, Dao Gui's frown relaxed slightly.

"Aren't you afraid?" He then asked Xu Taiping in a deep voice.

"Junior, after thinking about it seriously, you have at least a 50% chance of killing me. It's worth the risk."

Xu Taiping shook his head and answered seriously.

"You boy, you look humble and easy-going on the outside, but you're actually crazier than me on the inside. But that's good, that's how we sword cultivators should be. Even if the ancient gods and Buddhas are standing in front of me, and he wants to kill me, he only has a 50% chance of winning! "

Dao Gui's eyes suddenly lit up.

Immediately, he stood up, pointed his finger on the ground, and drew a circle with a radius of about one foot.

"There are nine realms in the Sword Realm. The first level, which is the most superficial level, is called Zhangba. And in this Zhangba Sword Realm, one of the abilities is that all laws are forbidden for one Zhangba."

The sword ghost pointed at the circle on the ground, and then pointed at the sword on Xu Taiping's waist:

"You can try."

Xu Taiping nodded, then pulled out the sword with a "clop" sound, and slashed at the sword ghost with a cicada style.

Now that he has understood the ultimate meaning, even a casual slash of his sword has the power of the ultimate realm.

"Uh-huh!"

But just when the sword was about to strike the sword ghost's body, the evil sword of the sword ghost that had been unsheathed at some point had already struck him in the abdomen.

Seeing this scene, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Xu Taiping's forehead.

Because he could sense that this sword was not caused by the sword ghost's sword being faster than his own, but because the sword ghost broke his chaotic cicada style.

To put it simply, when he drew the sword, he knew his intention and direction.

"In the sword domain, even the most superficial sword domain, no matter whether the opponent uses a knife, a sword or a technique, you can see through or sense the opponent's intention in advance. In this way, all methods can be banned."

The sword ghost put away the sword, held the handle with both hands, and introduced Xu Taiping with a serious face.

"Juniors have learned a lesson."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"In addition to the forbidden actions of all laws, the Zhangba Sword Domain also has another ability called Ten Steps and One Kill. This Ten Steps and One Kill can make you always one step ahead of others within ten steps. In this way, naturally Able to kill in ten steps.”

Sword Ghost then introduced Xu Taiping to the second ability of Zhangba Sword Domain.

"Always one step ahead..."

Xu Taiping, who has been practicing abroad for so many years, is very aware of the weight of these words.

With the physique of a dragon whale, a demon-slaying sword, and the Great Holy Fist, he is also very confident. As long as he can be one step ahead of others, he has the power to fight against his opponents, even if they are one level above him.

Of course, the outcome is irrelevant.

Immediately, the sword ghost pointed at the round path on the ground:

"And if you want to do this, you have to control your ultimate will and spirit to cover an area of ​​one foot in radius, and then combine the extreme sword skills and the body of the God of War to create a space within this one foot radius. Move your heart as you please within the area, thereby cultivating your own Zhangba Sword Domain.”

Hearing this, Xu Taiping consciously walked into the circle, and then solemnly bowed to Daogui and said:

"Senior Daogui, please teach me how to use the ultimate intention."

Daogui waved his hand when he heard this, and then raised the evil sword in his hand and said:

"You can stay in this sword domain for a year. In the first half of the year, I will not tell you how to control the ultimate intention. You have to feel it yourself. Anyway, if you die a few more times, you will eventually figure out something."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping couldn't help but twitch his mouth a few times, knowing that he might have to endure this half year.
