At first, he thought that Xu Taiping's ability to resist the sword energy was entirely due to his swordsmanship.
But when they reached the mountainside, the sword intention left by the great swordsman became stronger and stronger, the sword power he aroused became more and more fierce, the sword energy became more and more pure, and the effect of the swordsmanship gradually became stronger. become very limited.
Xu Taiping couldn't think of a way to dismantle it under such turbulent sword power, and he was almost engulfed by the sword energy and rolled down the cliff several times.
It is still hard for Huang Que to imagine that he could go against the sword force on the mountain road and come all the way here.
"I can only say that the right swordsmanship meets the right person."
Palace Master Liu Chuxuan looked at the bronze mirror with a solemn expression.
"But in the next part of the journey, if he chooses to go against the trend in order to kill the plum blossom, I'm afraid it will be difficult to carry on with that physical strength as before."
he continued.
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
Huang Que was a little confused.
He had also walked through this last section of the road, but he felt that at most the sword was more fierce, and there was nothing special about it.
"If you have ever walked against the trend on this last stretch of road, you will find that the sword intention will combine the sword force and sword energy on the entire mountain road into one, turning it into a sword to slash at you."
"This sword is equivalent to a sword struck by the Great Sword Immortal himself."
Palace Master Liu Chuxuan frowned.
"Is it true that there is a sword hidden on each road leading to Jade Gourd Peak?"
Huang Qiao was a little surprised.
"certainly."
Palace Master Liu Chuxuan nodded.
"Then what should we do now? We can't just watch this kid die, right?"
Huang Que became a little worried.
"Once he's on the road, we can't interfere and we can only let him seek his own blessings."
Liu Chuxuan sighed.
…
"call!……"
On Jade Gourd Peak.
Xu Taiping, standing on the last platform of the steps, exhaled a long breath.
"Only the one at the intersection is left."
Xu Taiping rubbed his eyes, looked intently at the plum tree at the intersection leading to the top of the mountain, and then stepped on the steps without hesitation.
"boom!"
As he stepped onto the steps, a wave of sword energy crashed down from the steps like a tsunami, followed by bursts of surging sword energy.
"Zheng!"
Just like before, the Rusty Lion turned into a sword light and flew out, and thrust his sword towards the surging sword energy.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, the sword energy was pierced by the Rusty Lion's sword, leaving only hundreds of incomplete words.
After practicing all the way, Xu Taiping became much more skilled in the art of "splitting characters".
After the sword energy dissipated, Xu Taiping flew up without hesitation.
But he had only climbed five or six steps when an invisible sword force suppressed him like a big hand.
"Click, click, click!"
Xu Taiping, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately upgraded his body from the awakening lion realm to the angry lion realm, and carried the sword force up the third step.
"Buzz buzz..."
But when he went up further, the rusty lion in front of him had been helping him resist the attack of the sword energy, and was suddenly forced to stop, letting out a vigilant trembling sound.
Xu Taiping looked up.
All he could see was that the skylight, clouds and shadows above his head suddenly converged into the shape of a sword, approaching him little by little with a dazzling brilliance.
Following this, there was a sword intent that looked at the world, and a sword force that was as heavy as a mountain.
"Snapped!"
The foot that Xu Taiping had just raised was forced back down by the force of the sword.
At the same time, an indescribable terrifying aura spread from the long sword transformed by light and shadow.
He could feel that this sword really wanted to kill him here.
Xu Taiping instinctively thought of using the Demon-Slaying Knife, but the Rusty Lion flew straight out in front of him and blocked him again.
"By the way, Master Sansan seems to have asked me to ring my sword."
Looking at the rusty lion standing in front of him, Xu Taiping suddenly remembered Master Sansan’s instructions.
"Now is indeed the last time for Ming Jian, but if it doesn't work well, you may really die."
Xu Taiping smiled bitterly.
But immediately he made a decision.
Ever since he started practicing with the help of Sister Lingyue in the body of mortal bones, he had understood that if he wanted to go further on the road of cultivation, he had to fight.
What to fight for, of course, is his life which does not seem to be very valuable.
"Master Sansan gave me such a good sword and gave me such a good opportunity to sing the sword. How can I have the shame to let it down like this?"
Having cut down the plum trees along the way, he had already guessed the real intention behind Layman Sansan asking him to cut down the trees.
Thinking like this, Xu Taiping raised his hand and put his two fingers together.
"Zheng!"
Amidst the sound of the sword, he combined his spiritual thoughts with the rusty lion in front of him.
The so-called Heming, according to Sansan layman, is actually to sink your mind completely into the sword. If the condition is good, you can even achieve the unity of man and sword.
The sword above his head seemed to sense Xu Taiping's determination, and it also let out a sword cry, and then the sword roared down with a rumble through the air.
At this moment, Xu Taiping urged the Rusty Lion and chanted in a low voice:
"When the boy was fifteen or twenty, he captured Hu Maqi on foot.
This is a poem that Master Sansan asked him to write countless times, and it is also his favorite one.
At the same time, he only learned today that this poem is actually a sword.
Amidst the chanting, the rusty lion flew towards the long sword transformed by light and shadow with a clanking sound.
At the same time, almost instantly, the words transformed by the sword energy scattered all over the sky——
"If you shoot the white-fronted tiger in the mountains, you will be willing to kill the yellow-bearded children in your army!"
"One body has traveled three thousand miles, and one sword has served as a division for millions."
"The Han soldiers are as fast as thunder, and the cavalry are afraid of the thorns."
"Wei Qing's undefeated victory is a matter of luck; Li Guang's lack of success is due to luck."
…
"Boom!" The moment the last word appeared, the rusty lion rushed through the words scattered in the sky, like a fierce horse galloping out on the battlefield, and was caught by the old but still fighting spirit. The monstrous old general slashed at the long sword transformed by light and shadow above his head. "
In an instant, the sword roared through the air like a dragon's roar.
The power of the sword is like the anger of heaven, pouring down.
"boom!"
There was a huge earthquake, and the long sword transformed by the light and shadow above his head was killed by the rusty lion's sword.
But the Rusty Lion didn't seem to be having all the fun.
It roared and roared, soaring straight into the sky, piercing through the thick clouds above its head, and striking directly at the barrier of the Jade Hudong.
"boom!"
The entire Jade Gourd Cave trembled.
And on the barrier of the Jade Hudongtian, there was even a sword mark that looked like a crack.
…
Under the Jade Gourd Peak.
A young man in white looked at the sword mark in the sky above his head, then raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"Teacher, by asking him to chop down the plum tree I planted, are you asking him to ask me about my sword?"
After saying this, he turned to look at a young man in black clothes next to him and said:
"Want to become my teacher?"
The young man in black clothes nodded vigorously with excitement on his face.
"I can teach you all my swordsmanship, but in the next Qingxuan Competition, you must defeat Xu Taiping. If you fail, I will send you to Jiuyuan."
The young man in white said to the young man in black clothes with a cold tone.
"Disciple, you will never be defeated!"
The young man in black clothes nodded vigorously.
This young man in black clothes is none other than Ye Xuan, a disciple of the First Peak.
Rumble…
At this moment, the sky above the Jade Hudong was suddenly filled with dark clouds, and an extremely powerful aura suddenly swept across the entire Xianhu Cave like a violent wind.
Then an old voice sounded in the air: "Come out, Su Chan, you won't be able to hide for long!"
