Taiping Inn

After Chiyangweng finished speaking, he turned around and returned to the Confucian camp. The entire Confucian camp was silent. Even if the chief priests wanted to blame Chiyangweng, they couldn't open their mouths. After all, everyone knew that the Heavenly Man-made Realm was no match for the Immortal Realm, especially Qin Qing, an immortal earthly immortal at the peak of his power. It would be the same no matter who went up except Song Zheng.

Qin Qing also returned to the Taoist camp. Unlike the silent Confucian camp, the Taoist camp was cheered by someone. One reason was that the Taoist camp was only one step away from winning the Yuxu Sword Fight, and the other was that Qin Qing won without fighting, which greatly boosted the morale of the Taoists.

With the Taoists winning the eighth battle, they were already invincible in the first ten battles. If they could win any of the ninth and tenth battles, they would win directly, without even Li Daoxu having to take action.

In the next ninth battle, the Taoists would choose the candidates first, and the Confucians would strike back. However, at this point, there was little room for choice. Only Jin Chansou and Song Zheng were left in the Confucian sect. Song Zheng had to face Li Xuandu, and then Jin Chansou would win, so that the Confucian sect could tie with the Taoist sect. If the Taoist sect chose Li Xuandu to play in the ninth match, the Confucian sect could only choose Song Zheng to play. If the Taoist sect put Li Xuandu in the tenth match, the Confucian sect could only choose Jin Chansou to play.

In this case, the originally passive first-hand selection became an active one.

Everyone's eyes fell on Li Daoxu. Li Daoxu just hesitated for a moment and said, "The Taoist candidate is Situ Xuanlue."

Situ Xuanlue, who was originally looking after Zhang Haishi, seemed to be well prepared and walked forward with his sword.

Old Man Long raised his eyebrows slightly, and his heart moved.

This time, Li Daoxu was obviously well prepared. He brought two disciples, Zhang Haishi and Situ Xuanlue, who were both closely related to the late Situ Xuance. Previously, Zhang Haishi was willing to perish with Qinghe Jushi. Situ Xuanlue is Situ Xuance's biological brother. What choice will he make?

But now, it's too late to say anything. We can only wait for the result.

After Situ Xuanlue appeared, Jin Chansou subconsciously took out a small snuff bottle from his sleeve and put it under his nose to sniff. People in the Central Plains began to sniff snuff in this dynasty. Snuff is not produced in the Central Plains, but shipped from Posuozhou. Therefore, it is quite precious. Only some wealthy families have the financial resources to buy it. The small snuff bottle in the old man's hand is made of glass, and the inner wall is painted with calligraphy and landscape. Although it is valuable, there is nothing magical about it. It's just that the old man is used to it, especially when he is not so calm, or when he has to make an important decision, sniffing snuff can make him calm.

After sniffing the snuff, Jin Chansou took a deep breath again before slowly walking forward.

Situ Xuanlue hung a sword on his waist, and pressed his hand on the hilt, "Please."

After the words fell, the two took a step almost at the same time, and their bodies quickly moved closer, then their feet were pressed together. Situ Xuanlue's left index and middle fingers made sword fingers and stabbed towards Jin Chansou's face, and Jin Chansou reached out and grabbed Situ Xuanlue's wrist.

Almost at the same time, Situ Xuanlue's long sword was unsheathed, but just halfway out of the sheath, Jin Chansou pressed the sword head and returned it to the scabbard.

Then Jin Chansou changed his palm into a fist and attacked Situ Xuanlue's lower abdomen in a small space. Although Situ Xuanlue also cushioned it with his palm, his body was still shaken. Jin Chansou then changed his fist into a palm again, and pushed forward with a palm flatly. Situ Xuanlue's figure flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, stopped retreating in mid-air, and landed gracefully.

Situ Xuanlue was not seriously injured, but suffered a minor loss. His internal Qi was slightly disordered, like the water of the river during the flood season, occasionally overflowing the embankment, but it was not enough to cause the embankment to collapse.

Just as Situ Xuanlue calmed down his Qi, he suddenly found that the Golden Toad Old Man in front of him had disappeared. He immediately became cautious and spread his divine sense around, paying attention to any abnormal aura. Although the divine sense of the great master of the Heavenly Realm is inferior to that of the ghost immortal alchemist of the same realm, it has a unique mystery of the unity of heaven and man. At this time, within a radius of 100 feet, even the falling snow and breeze could not hide his perception.

At this time, Yuxu Peak was extremely quiet, with only the whistling wind and occasional noises. It was because the rocks in some places finally couldn't hold up after several battles and began to break quietly.

There was nothing unusual around him, but Situ Xuanlue felt more and more inexplicable palpitations and uneasiness. Although he could not see any specific abnormal things, Situ Xuanlue felt that the environment around him was undergoing some subtle changes.

This subtle change was like there were ambushes hidden in the dense forest, so there would be flocks of birds circling above the dense forest, or someone was hiding in the night, so the insects did not chirp. However, Situ Xuanlue could not find the location of the Golden Toad Old Man, which showed that the other party's state of unity between heaven and man was far above his own, and he had perfectly integrated himself into the surrounding environment. This was the difference between the state of heaven and man and the state of heaven and man.

Suddenly, Situ Xuanlue sensed a hint of murderous aura, and was startled.

In shock, Situ Xuanlue's whole body suddenly changed, and the exposed skin suddenly turned jade white, showing a cold and hard texture, not like flesh and blood, like jade, and there was also sword energy flowing on his clothes and hair, making him look like a sword out of its sheath.

This is a secret technique of the Qingwei Sect, called "Sword Bone". According to the Qingwei Sect's leading sword-making method, one uses one's own body as the sword embryo to forge a sword, with bones as sword bones and body as sword body. The whole body, even hair and nails, are comparable to swords. The "Wanhua Divine Sword Palm" can only hide sword energy in the palm, but the sword body contains sword energy everywhere. After cultivation, it is both offensive and defensive, with almost no weaknesses, and can only be conquered by force.

However, this technique also has great flaws and shortcomings, that is, it is difficult to practice. First of all, the pain of forging a human body into a sword can be imagined, comparable to the punishment of slow slicing. Only people with strong will can practice it. If you can't bear the great pain brought by "sword forging", you will fail. Not only will it be difficult to form a sword body, but also your life will be in danger, or you will become a disabled person, living a life worse than death. Secondly, this method is dangerous and requires the assistance of multiple people to practice, that is, the sword forger. After the practice is successful, the whole person loses vitality, just like cold gold and stone. If the sword forger is not good enough or something goes wrong during the practice, it is very likely that the sword will be refined into a dead object, and the person who is "forged" will be trapped in it and become a kind of spirit, and will never live.

Even if you are lucky enough to practice it

, there is still a big disadvantage, you can't get close to women. The reason is very simple. The whole body is like a sword, and it contains sword energy. Which woman can bear it? Therefore, practicing this method often means no descendants. Therefore, those who occasionally practice it will practice after leaving offspring.

Because of these many disadvantages, even though the "Sword Bone" method is very powerful, not inferior to the "Six Combinations and Eight Desolations Immortal Body" and other great methods, few people can practice it, and it is almost lost. Not to mention in the Jianghu, even in the Qingwei Sect, few people know the existence of this secret method.

I didn't expect that Situ Xuanlue actually cultivated "sword bones".

In the blink of an eye, Situ Xuanlue has become no longer a human, but a long sword. Countless invisible sword energy surged out from his whole body and shot in all directions!

The sword energy was surging and whistling.

The sword energy that suddenly burst out, each one was indestructible. In the blink of an eye, a net that strangled everything was laid around him, and the net was set up to wait, and this sword net was still spreading around. No matter how high the realm of unity between man and nature of the Golden Toad Old Man was, as long as he could not completely transform himself from reality to illusion, he still had to resist when he encountered the sword energy, so that he would show his whereabouts.

As expected, the Golden Toad Old Man had to show his figure under the agitation of the sword energy.

Situ Xuanlue did not hesitate at all. His body suddenly spun and flew off the ground. The sword net he had laid moved with it, turning it into a tornado of sword energy, rushing towards the Golden Toad Old Man who had revealed his figure.

At this moment, the Golden Toad Old Man waved his sleeves. The void in front of him began to twist like a burning flame. Situ Xuanlue's sword energy entered it and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. Even if there was sword energy that could barely break through, it was the last gasp of a spent force and was dispersed by the Golden Toad Old Man with a wave of his hand.

However, Situ Xuance did not care much. His original intention was not to hurt the Golden Toad Old Man, but to retreat by advancing. While forcing the Golden Toad Old Man out, he drew the sword at his waist. At this time, his sword was clanging and trembling, just in line with Lu Zu's poem: "The sword in the box roars all the time, I swear not to pass it on unless I meet someone like me."

"The sword rises and rushes thousands of miles to kill, the wind and thunder follow the rain and the sound is rough. The place where the human head is carried is not a human, why chant loudly across the five lakes."

"The eyebrows are raised and the evil spirit is raised, and the body jumps thousands of miles into the sky. The three-foot sword in the box is on the back, showing the sky and the unfairness of people."

Situ Xuanlue's sword is called "Blood Sleeve Juexian Sword", which is similar to "Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Sword". Although there is a sword in the name, it is not on the sword review, because strictly speaking, although it has a sword shape, it is not a pure sword, but is similar to a magic weapon, which has its own mystery. Compared to the mysterious and unpredictable "Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Sword", the "Blood-Sleeved Immortal-Exterminating Sword" is more focused on killing and is good at changing. This was Situ Xuance's sword in the past, and it was said that it could stain the clothes of earth immortals with blood. However, this sword was good at attacking but not at defending. If it was attacked by someone, it could not be used to save its life, so Situ Xuance still died at the hands of Elder Long.

But this killing sword was only half unsheathed. Then it was completely silent. A hand simply reached out and pressed on the hilt, pushing the long sword back inch by inch, putting it back into the scabbard, and even the sound of the sword whistling that had already erupted could not be heard. The sharp sword energy emanating from Situ Xuanlue's body. The stab and chop on this hand left no trace and could not hurt it at all.
