You should know that this infant ghost is a wandering corpse-level ghost. After its body has been tempered by blood energy, even Xu Taiping’s dragon whale physique at the extreme state may not be stronger than his.
So you can imagine how terrifying the power of Duan Xiaoyu’s this knife is.
”Boom!”
At this time, I saw that the infant ghost suddenly manifested its wandering corpse physique and “swish swish swish” towards Duan Xiaoyu with its pair of sharp claws.
Although the power of that knife just now by Duan Xiaoyu was great, for an existence like a zombie ghost, as long as you fail to kill it with one blow, it will be able to counterattack immediately.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
In an instant, the momentum of Duan Xiaoyu’s knife was suppressed by this infant ghost, and he began to change from offense to defense.
However, after gradually adapting to the speed and strength of the infant ghost, Duan Xiaoyu, who became more and more calm in dealing with it, while quickly blocking the sharp claws of the infant ghost, turned his head to look at Xu Taiping at the door and shouted intermittently:
“Brother Taiping, it’s me, Duan Xiaoyu.”
“I’m… I’m sorry, I forgot the time when practicing the knife last night and accidentally came late.”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping no longer doubted the identity of Duan Xiaoyu.
“Xiaoyu, did Jiang Wushen teach you this knife technique?”
Xu Taiping smiled faintly and then asked.
“Yes, yes!”
Duan Xiaoyu split the infant ghost with a knife and then nodded vigorously with a smile at Xu Taiping.
After the two parted ways at Pilu Temple that day, Duan Xiaoyu stayed in Youyun Tian to learn the knife from Wu Shen Jiang Cuicui, and Xu Taiping returned to Zhenwu Tian alone.
“In just less than a year, Xiaoyu has made such progress. Jiang Wushen really has a unique vision.”
Looking at Duan Xiaoyu’s seemingly clumsy but actually extremely ingenious knife technique Xu Taiping couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
“Bang!”
And as Duan Xiaoyu chopped off the claws of the baby ghost with another knife, the door that locked the eighth floor of the Bamiantai Building opened automatically with a “click”.
Then only heard, Duan Xiaoyu shouted at Xu Taiping:
“Brother Taiping, you go upstairs quickly, I can handle this baby ghost!”
Just as she was speaking, the fluctuation of the breath around the baby ghost suddenly rose again with a “boom”.
Duan Xiaoyu, who was startled by this fluctuation of breath, quickly took a step back, and then smiled awkwardly at Xu Taiping and said:
“This… this is that I wasn’t ready. Brother Taiping, I can really deal with him!”
Although she was very confident in her mouth, the hint of panic in her eyes still betrayed her.
Xu Taiping was even more certain that this baby ghost had far from revealed its true strength. Next, it would be many times more difficult for Duan Xiaoyu to deal with than it is now.
However, in the end, he still gave Duan Xiaoyu a approving look and nodded heavily, saying:
“Hmm!”
He believed in Duan Xiaoyu. After all, in the Xianhu Secret Realm, when her strength was far inferior to what it is now, she was able to resist the already demonic disciples of Huangfeng Valley by relying on her perseverance.
“Xiaoyu, thank you!”
Xu Taiping thanked Duan Xiaoyu again.
“No… you’re welcome!”
After feeling the recognition in Xu Taiping’s words, Duan Xiaoyu suddenly became energetic. While speaking, she tightly held the handle of the knife with both hands and “boomed” the baby ghost away with a single knife.
Seeing this, Xu Taiping no longer hesitated and stepped onto the steps leading to the eighth floor of the Xuanhuang Pagoda.
……
“Boom! ……”
Just after selling the last step, Xu Taiping heard a loud noise coming from inside the door.
Then, the air wave with sharp knife energy slapped heavily on his chest.
“Bang bang bang!”
Although this air wave did not make him move an inch, several layers of body-protecting qi outside his body were still broken three layers in a row.
When the air wave dissipated, Xu Taiping stepped forward and looked into the door.
“Zheng!”
I saw that behind the door, a man was fighting with a blind swordsman with disheveled hair and no light eyes with a sword.
Xu Taiping carefully looked at the sword-wielding man and found that it was Yun Ye of the Sanhuang Dao Palace who had separated from him before.
After sweeping his eyes inside the building again, he immediately found two familiar figures——
“The third prince Chu Yinan and Luo Cheng of the Bajing Dao Palace.”
After recognizing the three people, Xu Taiping’s gaze then fell on the swordsman fighting with Yun Ye, and he muttered in his heart:
“So this blind swordsman is the legendary Blade Slave, right?”
Before climbing the tower, he had already learned from the intelligence sent by Xiahou Qingyuan that the Octagonal Tower on the tenth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower could be challenged by eight cultivators outside the tower at the same time.
That is to say, after entering from different gates of the Octagonal Tower, as long as one can defeat the Seven Evils, they will eventually enter the eighth floor guarded by the Blade Slave.
And in this eighth floor, as long as one can defeat the Blade Slave within the time it takes for a stick of incense to burn, one can obtain the qualification to enter the eleventh floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower.
So some people say that the Blade Slave is the gatekeeper of the eleventh floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower.
“Zheng! ……”
Just as Xu Taiping was thinking like this, with a sudden explosion of a breaking wind sound mixed with the sound of a sword the flying sword sacrificed by Yun Ye and the mighty sword qi that poured out along with the sword momentum were all split open by the Blade Slave with a single knife.
“Boom!”
After splitting open Yun Ye’s sword momentum with a single knife, the Blade Slave’s knife momentum not only did not decrease but increased instead. The violent knife qi was like a flying top spinning at high speed and attacking Yun Ye.
“Peng! ——”
Although at the last moment, Yun Ye successively Cast dozens of layers of body-protecting sword auras but in the end, they were all broken one by one by the Blade Slave’s knife momentum.
“Shua!”
Yun Ye, whose body-protecting sword auras had been broken, hadn’t had time to use his movement technique to escape when his figure was submerged by a blade glow.
The next moment, the dazzling saber light pierced through his body, cutting him in half with a single strike.
This strike left both Xu Taiping and Luo Cheng of the Bajing Dao Palace and the Third Prince Chu Yinan behind the door in the building dumbfounded.
”Not only did Yun Ye lose, but he also lost to the most ordinary move of the saber slave.”
Xu Taiping muttered with a solemn expression.
As a saber cultivator himself, he could see clearly that the three moves with which the saber slave defeated Yun Ye just now were the most ordinary saber moves.
It was even possible that they were just the starting moves of his saber strikes.
Suddenly, a familiar figure emerged in Xu Taiping’s mind —
”Dao Ghost.”
That’s right, this strike of the blind saber slave reminded him of Dao Ghost when he seriously sparred with him with a saber.
”What are you sneaking around outside for? Come in!”
Just as Xu Taiping was thinking this, a fierce shout suddenly came from the saber slave behind the door.
