You must know that this infant ghost is a ghost at the level of a wandering corpse. After its body has been tempered with blood and energy, even the body of a dragon whale in Xu Taiping's extreme realm may not be stronger than him.
So you can imagine how terrifying the power of Duan Xiaoyu's sword is.
"boom!"
At this time, the infant ghost suddenly appeared and grabbed Duan Xiaoyu with his sharp claws.
Although the sword that Duan Xiaoyu just struck was powerful, as long as you fail to kill it with one strike, it can immediately counterattack.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
In an instant, Duan Xiaoyu's sword power was suppressed by the infant ghost, and he began to switch from offense to defense.
However, after gradually adapting to the speed and strength of the infant ghost, Duan Xiaoyu became more and more calm in dealing with it. While quickly catching the infant ghost's claws, he turned to look at Xu Taiping at the door and shouted intermittently:
"Brother Taiping, I am Duan Xiaoyu."
"No... I'm sorry. I forgot the time when I was practicing swordsmanship last night, and I accidentally came late."
After hearing this, Xu Taiping no longer doubted Duan Xiaoyu's identity.
"Xiaoyu, did Jiang Wushen teach you this sword technique?"
Xu Taiping smiled lightly and then asked.
"Yes, it is!"
Duan Xiaoyu chopped open the infant ghost with a knife, then smiled at Xu Taiping and nodded vigorously.
After the two said goodbye at Pilu Zen Temple that day, Duan Xiaoyu stayed in Youyuntian to learn swordsmanship with Jiang Cuicui, the god of martial arts, while Xu Taiping returned to Zhenwutian alone.
"In less than a year, Xiaoyu has made such great progress. Jiang Wushen is really insightful."
Seeing Duan Xiaoyu's seemingly clumsy but actually exquisite sword skills, Xu Taiping couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"boom!"
And as Duan Xiaoyu split the infant ghost's claws with another knife, locking the door on the eighth floor of the eight-sided building, it opened automatically with a "click".
Then just listening, Duan Xiaoyu shouted to Xu Taiping:
"Brother Taiping, hurry up and go upstairs. I can handle this baby ghost!"
Just as she was speaking, the aura fluctuations around the infant ghost suddenly increased with a "boom" sound.
Duan Xiaoyu, who was startled by this aura fluctuation, quickly took a step back, then smiled awkwardly at Xu Taiping and said:
"This... I'm not prepared for this. Brother Taiping, I can really deal with him!"
Although she sounded very confident, the trace of panic in her eyes betrayed her.
Xu Taiping knew very well that this infant ghost was far from showing its true strength. It would be many times more difficult for Duan Xiaoyu to deal with it next than it is now.
But in the end, he still cast an affirmative look at Duan Xiaoyu, nodded heavily and said:
"Um!"
He believed in Duan Xiaoyu. After all, when she was in the Immortal Gourd Secret Realm, her strength was far inferior to what she is now, and she could rely on perseverance to resist the possessed Huang Maple Valley disciples.
"Thanks, Xiaoyu!"
Xu Taiping thanked Duan Xiaoyu again.
"No...you're welcome!"
After feeling the recognition in Xu Taiping's words, Duan Xiaoyu suddenly perked up. While speaking, he held the handle of the knife with both hands and slashed the infant ghost away with a "bang".
Seeing this, Xu Taiping walked up the steps leading to the eighth floor of Xuanhuang Tower without hesitation.
…
"boom!……"
Xu Taiping, who had just passed the last step, heard a loud bang coming from the door.
Then the air wave with the sharp sword energy hit his chest hard.
"Bang bang bang!"
Although this wave of energy did not make him move an inch, the several layers of protective energy outside his body were still broken through three layers in a row.
When the air wave dissipated, Xu Taiping took a step forward and looked inside the door.
"Zheng!"
Behind the door, a man was seen wielding a sword and fighting with a blind swordsman with disheveled hair and dull eyes.
Xu Taiping took a closer look at the sword-wielding man and found that it was Yun Ye from the Three Emperors Dao Palace who had separated from him earlier.
After scanning the building again, he immediately discovered two familiar figures——
"The third prince Chu Yinan and Luo Cheng of Bajing Tao Palace."
After recognizing the three of them, Xu Taiping's eyes fell on the swordsman who was fighting with Yun Ye, and he murmured in his heart:
"So this blind swordsman is the legendary sword slave, right?"
Before climbing the tower, he already knew from the information sent by Xiahou Qingyuan that the eight-sided building on the tenth floor of the Xuanhuang Tower could be challenged by eight monks outside the tower at the same time.
In other words, after entering from the different gates of the Eight-sided Tower, as long as you can defeat the Seven Evils, you will eventually enter the eighth floor guarded by sword slaves.
And among these eight floors, as long as you can defeat the Sword Slave within one stick of incense, you will be qualified to enter the eleventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower.
Therefore, some people say that Dao Slave is the gatekeeper of the eleventh floor of Xuanhuang Tower.
"bass!……"
Just as Xu Taiping was thinking this, a sound of piercing the air mixed with the sound of swords suddenly exploded. The flying sword launched by Yun Ye and the mighty sword energy pouring out along with the sword force were all... He was split open by the blind sword slave.
"boom!"
After splitting Yun Ye's sword force with one strike, the Blind Sword Slave's sword force increased instead of decreasing. The violent sword energy was like a flying top, spinning towards Yun Ye at high speed.
"boom!--"
Although at the last moment, Yun Ye used dozens of body-protecting sword swords, they were all broken by the blind sword slave's sword.
"Uh-huh!"
Yun Ye, whose body-protecting sword was broken, was submerged by a sword light before he could use his body skills to escape.
The next moment, the dazzling sword light penetrated his body and cut him in half.
Xu Taiping, Luo Cheng of the Bajing Dao Palace and the third prince Chu Yinan in the building behind the door were all dumbfounded by this sword strike.
"Not only did Yun Ye lose, he was also defeated by the sword slave's most common move."
Xu Taiping murmured solemnly.
As a sword cultivator, he could see clearly that the three moves the sword slave used to defeat Yun Ye just now were the most common sword moves.
It's even possible that it was just the way he started to draw the sword.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in Xu Taiping's mind——
"Knife ghost."
That's right, the blind sword slave's sword made him sound like a sword ghost when he seriously tried the sword with him.
"What are you doing sneaking out? Come in!"
Just as Xu Taiping was thinking this, a sharp shout from the sword slave suddenly came from behind the door.
