Mortal Bones

A few days later.

The sixth round of the Golden Scale Society.

This round of competition should be the easiest one everyone in the Xuanyun Martial Arts Hall has seen since the Golden Scale Club.

A group of people were talking and laughing in the attic stands.

"Taiping, you are not in good spirits. Is it because your injury has not healed?"

Seeing that Xu Taiping's face was a little ugly and not as cheerful as the previous few days, Junior Senior Aunt Lu Rushuang asked worriedly.

"No, no, it's a bit late to practice sword practice."

Xu Taiping smiled and shook his head.

For three nights in a row, he was dragged into the sword realm by the sword ghost. He had to die thousands of times in different ways almost every night. Only when he was energetic could he be a ghost.

But thanks to the sword ghost.

If it weren't for him, he would have to forcefully open the Sword Domain for three consecutive nights at the expense of his own strength, and he would have achieved some success in the cultivation of the Sword Domain.

"It's a good thing to practice hard, but don't hurt your body, otherwise the gain will outweigh the loss."

Lu Rushuang gave Xu Taiping a serious look.

"I know the little sister-in-law."

Xu Taiping smiled and nodded.

At this moment, the voice of Palace Master Qiu Shanyuan sounded from the sky above the Golden Scale Platform——

"In the sixth round of the Golden Scale Club, Chenglong Tianmingdong Zhu Qiongmo faced off against Juemingtian Guangling Pavilion Ji Ye!..."

Hearing this voice, Xu Taiping and Junior Aunt Lu Rushuang's eyes lit up.

"This Zhu Qiongmo's cultivation and talent are not inferior to those of Dongfang Yue Cocoon. You have to pay close attention to Taiping. He might be your opponent in the next round."

The young master's aunt sent a message to Xu Taiping.

While transmitting the message, a rune of brilliance lit up under her feet.

This is a special formation used to isolate spiritual induction.

"This Ji Ye, I feel that his cultivation talent is not low. I don't know how he will perform today."

Xu Taiping looked at Na Ji Ye.

A warrior is different from a simple monk. He is born with an intuition that can sense his opponent, just like the previous battle between him and Ye Feiyu.

"In addition, according to our speculations in the past few days, each of the monks competing today may be the physical body of the mysterious demon species. You should also pay attention to it."

Lu Rushuang then reminded Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping nodded, and then asked via the same voice:

"If it is found, is there a way to capture it?"

"Of course" Lu Rushuang nodded after hearing this.

Then, she sent a message to Xu Taiping:

"Taiping, you don't know much about the Jiuyuan Demon Seed, do you?"

"I don't know much." Xu Taiping nodded.

"It's time for you to understand now."

So while the deacon in white on the stage was reciting the rules of the Golden Scale List, the young aunt began to introduce the Nine Abyss Demon Seed to Xu Taiping——

"In addition to the sleeping ancient demons, the demons born from the Nine Abyss will exist in two forms, namely demon fetuses and demon seeds."

"Among them, the demon fetus can grow on its own without the help of a human body. It is an extremely terrifying existence."

"But after several battles between the demons, the human monks joined forces with the demon monks to destroy all the blood springs in the demon abyss that could give birth to demon fetuses. Therefore, it is rare to see the monsters transformed by the demon fetuses."

"As for the demon species, there are too many things that can be bred in the demon abyss."

"Sometimes, a piece of grass, a piece of fruit, or even a piece of stone may be eroded by the evil energy of the abyss and given the ability to become a demon species."

"So even if the Five Emperors personally led their armies deep into the Demonic Abyss, they were never completely eradicated."

"This demon species, according to the strength of its power, is divided into the Yuanshi demon species, the mysterious calamity demon species, the earthly calamity demon species, the heavenly calamity demon species and the god-destroying demon species."

"Among them, the Yuanshi demon species is the most common, followed by the Xuanhuo demon species."

"There is a big difference in power between the two. For example, the strength of the Yuanshi Demon Seed is related to the demon cultivator it is attached to, while the Xuanfu Demon Seed will immediately destroy its consciousness and occupy its body when it possesses it."

"Furthermore, the Xuanhuo Demon Seed has the same indescribable, audible, and invisible power as the Yin God."

"At the same time, he will rapidly increase his strength by defeating his opponents."

"Whether it is the Xuanhuo Demon Seed or the Yuanshi Demon Seed, their biggest weakness is that they cannot leave the body. And before the power is not strong enough, as long as he does not discover you and you discover him, he will not be able to use the power of the Demon Seed. To kill you, I can only rely on the power of the possessed demon."

After listening to Lu Rushuang's story, Xu Taiping discovered that this demon species is indeed very similar to the Yin God in the wilderness secret realm.

"Is it possible that there is some connection between the two?"

Xu Taiping expressionlessly touched his left eye.

"Perhaps we can ask Sister Lingyue later."

He thought so in his heart.

At this moment, the deacon in white standing on the golden scale platform below had left, and Zhu Qiongmo and Ji Ye had already flown down to the platform.

"boom!"

As the wall of sword energy dissipated, almost at the same time, the aura fluctuations around the two men suddenly surged.

"Zheng!"

Then, the sound of a sword sounded, and the flying sword in front of Zhu Qiongmo, who was flying in the sky, suddenly separated into thousands of sword shadows.

A terrifying sword force then spread like a raging wave on the golden scale platform.

Then, with a "boom" sound, the thousands of sword shadows gathered into a mighty river, roaring and rushing towards the young man Ji Ye who was enveloped by a circular halo in front of him.

Facing this terrifying sword power, the white-clothed boy Ji Ye showed no trace of panic on his face.

He was seen sitting cross-legged in the air calmly, then he placed an ancient zither on his legs and rubbed the strings with his palm.

"Zheng!——"

A sound like the sound of a sword suddenly exploded, and the sound waves spreading from the strings transformed into thousands of flying swords, rushing towards Zhu Qiongmo's mighty sword force like a river.

Ji Ye, the genius boy of Jue Mingtian, was not pretending today.
