　　Immediately following, in a knife cry like the cry of a crane, Xu Taiping’s figure seemed to merge with the long knife in his hand, turning into a dazzling blade of light and charging into the rat swarm in front.
　　”Boom！”
　　In just an instant, the rat swarm in front was cut open by this blade of light, creating a gap.
　　Seeing this scene, the youth’s eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Xu Taiping’s intention. He immediately carried his younger sister and rushed over with a big step, charging into the gap cut by the knife in the rat swarm.
　　”Shua！”
　　Just as this gap was about to be closed by the rat swarm again, in the knife cry like the cry of a crane, Xu Taiping slashed out another knife.
　　Immediately, another gap appeared in another position of the rat swarm.
　　The youth quickly stepped forward and followed.
　　After that, no matter how fast the rat swarm closed, the long knife in Xu Taiping’s hand could always chop out a gap for the two siblings.
　　In the end, the entire mountain forest began to continuously ring with the knife cry like the cry of a crane.
　　And as Xu Taiping’s knife-drawing speed became faster and faster and the murderous aura on his body became stronger and stronger, the eyes of the teenager hiding behind him gradually changed from the joy of surviving a disaster to a kind of ineffable awe.
　　Especially when he saw that Xu Taiping, under the situation where the true essence in his body was exhausted, the blood energy was also gradually weakening, and his burly physique was gradually disappearing, was still able to continuously swing the knife to chop down one giant rat after another by relying on perseverance, the sense of awe in his heart became even stronger.
　　“Bang！ ……”
　　After an unknown number of giant rats were killed, Xu Taiping finally, because he didn’t keep up with a step, was hit hard in the chest by a giant rat.
　　At this time, Xu Taiping, who had already returned to the physique of an ordinary warrior, originally couldn’t withstand the impact of the giant rat.
But under the urging of the knife momentum of the Demon-Slaying Knife’s Crane-Crying Posture, Xu Taiping, who was supposed to be knocked flying, twisted his body back and with a “swish” sound chopped the giant rat that hit him into two halves with one knife.
　　The blood spattered by the giant rat drenched Xu Taiping all over, making him look like the evil ghost climbing out of the underworld in the legend.
　　But at this moment, the brother and sister had not the slightest fear of the evil ghost in front of them, but were full of gratitude.
　　“Swish,　swish,　swish！”
　　At this time, Xu Taiping once again quickly swung the Thunder Soul Blade in his hand. Relying only on the saber momentum on his body and the not much remaining blood energy in his body, he killed two or three more giant rats and once again opened up a gap among the rat swarm.
　　The teenager quickly carried his younger sister and followed.
　　Brother, the hero clearly looks like an ordinary person now, why can he still keep killing these big rats?
　　The little girl on the boy’s back wiped the blood splashed on her face, then blinked her big eyes and asked the boy in disbelief.
　　“It’s different. Ordinary people don’t have the perseverance and fighting spirit of a great hero like this.”
　　The boy looked at Xu Taiping’s eyes that had not the slightest bit of fear, and the sense of awe in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
　　“What Daddy said is right. Even if one exhausts one’s true essence and drains one’s blood energy, as long as the fighting spirit does not disperse and the divine soul does not perish, one will definitely be able to find a turning point.”
　　With this thought in mind, he suddenly seemed to have made up his mind about something. He clenched his fist tightly and then said in a low voice：
　　“If I survive this great disaster, when I go back, I will definitely join the White Tiger Battalion and then, like Daddy, kill the Ghost Fang and guard the Western Border.”
　　“Swish！”
　　At this time, once again before the giant rats could surround him, Xu Taiping cut open a gap in the middle of the rat swarm for himself and the brother and sister behind him.
　　But just as he was about to take a breath and let his blood qi recover a little, the huge rat that was originally chopped down to the ground by him suddenly got up violently and hit him heavily to the ground.
　　“Puff！ …”
　　Under this impact, Xu Taiping could no longer suppress the injury on his body. Before he could get up from the ground, he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
　　And when he fell to the ground, the gap he had originally chopped out in the rat swarm was also quickly closing.
　　Seeing that the three of them were about to be submerged by the rat swarm, the boy suddenly put down the younger sister he was carrying on his back, rushed to Xu Taiping’s front, and tried to pick up the Thunder Soul Saber on the ground to resist the rushing rat swarm.
　　“Pop！”
　　But before he could pick up the knife, the hand that reached out to the handle of the knife was slapped away by Xu Taiping who was lying on the ground.
　　“Don’t move my knife.”
Xu Taiping, who was lying on the ground, re-holding the knife in his hand, and the slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.
　　In an instant, the saber momentum that had originally begun to dissipate re-condensed around his body.
　　“Bang！”
　　Then, I saw Xu Taiping’s palm heavily patted on the ground, and his body quickly stood up.
　　At the same time, the long knife in his hand“swish”turned into a saber light like a full moon and slashed at the huge rats rushing from the west.
　　……
　　“The incense has burned out！”
　　Inside the stone fortress, when seeing the last section of the ash of the incense in Elder Zhang’s hand fall, Nan Xing and the others couldn’t help but cheer in unison.
　　“They’re retreating. The rat swarm is starting to retreat. Young Master was right. Just one stick of incense and the rat swarm will retreat！”
　　Zhai Mo, who was observing the rat swarm outside the stone fortress through the gap in the stone wall, also shouted excitedly at this time.
　　“You all step back a bit. I’m going to open the door！”
　　Gu Qingcheng, who also observed this scene, without saying a word, pressed his hand on the ground.
　　With a “boom”, the huge boulders that were originally piled up at the entrance of the stone fortress were all lifted by the vines controlled by Gu Qingcheng.
　　“Go and see how Young Master is doing！”
　　Nan Xing and the others then all rushed out of the stone fortress.
　　“Please don’t have anything happen. Please don’t have anything happen！”
　　Gu Qingcheng, who was following behind the crowd, while running with all his might, kept praying in his heart.
　　Although dying in the Mysterious Desolation Tower doesn’t mean really dying, it just means not being able to enter the Mysterious Desolation Tower for two or three years, but Gu Qingcheng is very clear that with Jiuyuan’s control over the Mysterious Desolation Tower, in another two or three years, even if Xu Taiping is the candidate favored by the Mysterious Desolation Great Emperor, it is impossible to climb to the ninth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower！
