“Boom！ ——”
And just as his thoughts were racing, a pillar of fire formed by flames rose up from the saber slave’s body. When it was about to approach the roof, this pillar of fire condensed by flames suddenly expanded, changing from the original size of about one zhang to ten zhang and then twenty zhang, until it touched the sword lights formed by the Tianying Sword.
“Bang！”
With a violent collision sound, those sword lights were actually scattered on the spot by this pillar of fire condensed by flames.
It was only at this time that Yun Ye and Luo Cheng, who had originally been sighing about the power of Chu Yinan’s Tianying Sword, finally reacted.
“That flame… is… is saber qi！”
At this time, Xu Taiping, who had been pondering for a long time, finally had his eyes light up, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes as he said.
That’s right, the flame that condensed into the pillar of fire around the saber slave’s body was precisely transformed by the saber qi in his body.
And after hearing Xu Taiping’s words, Yun Ye and Luo Cheng were shocked, and then only heard Luo Cheng say with a horrified expression on his face：
”Being able to make the saber qi and sword qi take shape is only considered a great saber immortal or a great sword cultivator. Only being able to make the saber qi and sword qi reach the profound realm is the real saber immortal and sword immortal. That is to say, although the cultivation base and realm of this saber slave are suppressed, his saber intention and saber momentum still retain the strength of a saber immortal！”
Saber qi taking shape, saber qi reaching the profound realm, and saber qi transforming into spirit are three unique realms of saber cultivators and sword cultivators.
Among them, taking shape is only the first step, and reaching the profound realm is the beginning of the saber cultivator’s practice.
Most importantly, the comprehension of these three realms does not completely rely on the improvement of the cultivation base, but more depends on the saber cultivator’s comprehension of the saber technique.
”Boom！ ——”
While speaking, accompanied by a deafening cracking sound the saber qi around the saber slave that turned into a pillar of fire suddenly expanded again, and shatter the remaining dozen or so sword lights all at once.
For a while, in the main hall on the eighth floor of the Bamiantai, half was pitch-black and no light and half was filled with rising flames.
Looking at the saber slave again, he didn’t do anything, just stood in the center of the flames, looking forward with his eyes without blinking.
”Zheng！ ——”
At this time, accompanied by another sword chirping sound the originally pitch-black and dark half of the main hall was suddenly covered by a whole piece of sword light.
”Boom！ ……”
The next moment, in a violent tremor, the sword glow of the Tianying Sword that covered half of the main hall suddenly pressed towards the position of the Saber Slave like a surging wave.
This was precisely the powerful killing move of the Tianying Sword – Competing with the Sun for Brilliance.
“Zheng！ ——”
Just as Chu Yinan unleashed this move of “Competing with the Sun for Brilliance”, the Saber Slave, who was originally quietly standing in the saber flames, suddenly pulled out the long saber at his waist and slashed at the huge light and shadow formed by the sword glow with one strike.
“Hong！ ——”
Amid the huge tremor, as the Saber Slave slashed out this saber strike, the raging saber flames around his body began to transform into surging “raging waves”, slapping towards the sword qi light and shadow formed by the Tianying Sword wave after wave.
“Peng!!!!”
With a huge collision sound, in the dumbfounded eyes of everyone, the sword qi light and shadow formed by the Third Prince Chu Yinan’s move of “Competing with the Sun for Brilliance” was completely devoured by the saber flames condensed by the Saber Slave with the power of the saber momentum and saber intent.
“Sou！”
And the moment the sword qi light and shadow was devoured by the saber flames, the Saber Slave, who was covered in flames, appeared beside Chu Yinan like a ghost.
“Your sword strike is too ordinary. It’s a pity for this set of Tianying Sword Canon.”
While raising his saber, the Saber Slave shook his head with a regretful expression on his face. Then, without hesitation, he slashed down at Chu Yinan in front of him.
“Swish！”
Amid the ear-piercing sound of breaking through the air, Chu Yinan’s body was split in half by the Saber Slave’s saber strike.
Even though the radiance of magic treasures continuously lit up around his body, he still couldn’t block the Saber Slave’s strike.
……
“……”
“……”
“……”
In the Southern Chu Imperial Palace.
After seeing this scene, the King of Chu, Chu Zhaoyuan, the old Martial God Zhu Huai, and the Sword Immortal Qionghua all lost their voices simultaneously.
It was a long time before they heard Chu Zhaoyuan sighing deeply and saying：
“The third son still lacks some skill.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Huai beside him shook his head with a bitter smile and said：
“Your Majesty, this time it can’t be blamed on the Third Prince. It’s just that this Saber Slave is too powerful.”
The Sword Immortal Qionghua also nodded at this time and said：
“What Old Zhu said is right. Just based on the strength that the Saber Slave just revealed, even if I were to fight against him, I wouldn’t be able to guarantee a win.”
Just based on the fact that his saber qi has reached the profound realm, even he, the Sword Immortal Qionghua, didn’t dare to be negligent.
“Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry too much.”
Zhu Huai then looked at the King of Chu again and said affirmatively：
“Although we lost this time, we have already understood the strength of this Saber Slave. As long as we make sufficient preparations when we enter the tower to challenge again next time, we will definitely be able to make further progress！”
Long before this time entering the tower, they had already made preparations to challenge the Saber Slave again.
“That’s right.”
Hearing Zhu Huai’s words, the face of the King of Chu finally looked a little better. Immediately, he nodded and smiled, looking at Zhu Huai and Sword Immortal Qionghua and said, “When the third brother comes back, I will have to trouble Elder Zhu and Sword Immortal Qionghua to give him more guidance.”
“Your Highness the King of Chu, you don’t need to be polite. Yi Nan is my direct disciple, and I will definitely help him reach the twelfth floor of the Mysterious Desolation Tower.”
Upon hearing this, Sword Immortal Qionghua immediately nodded and said in the same very affirmative tone.
“You！ ……”
Just at this time, the fierce shout of the Saber Slave came again from the spirit mirror in front of the three people.
The three people heard the sound and turned their heads to look at the same time.
In the spirit mirror, the Saber Slave, whose body was covered with flames and had already receded, was pointing the long knife in his hand at Xu Taiping.
The three people were not unfamiliar with this scene, because every time the Saber Slave let the challenger play, he would do this.
What really made the three people look surprised was the next sentence of the Saber Slave——
“Tell me your name！”
As soon as these words came out, the three people’s faces showed surprised expressions at the same time.
Because before this, the Saber Slave had never actively asked the name of the person who came to challenge.
“I am Xu Taiping from the Zhenwu Tianqing Xuanzong.”
In the spiritual mirror, Xu Taiping, with a calm expression on his face, stepped towards the center of the main hall and then cupped his hands towards the Knife Slave and said：
“Greetings to Senior Knife Slave.”
And if the Knife Slave’s previous words only made the three people feel surprised and astonishment then his next words made the three people petrify on the spot—
“Qingxuan Sect’s Xu Taiping, you don’t need to compete with this old man and can directly climb to the eleventh floor of the Xuanhuang Pagoda.”
The three people in front of the spiritual mirror stood up from their chairs with a “whoosh” sound after being stunned for a few breaths.
Then they heard King Chu Chuzhaoyuan say with a look of disbelief on his face：
“Why？”
“Why doesn’t he need to compete to climb to the eleventh floor of the Xuanhuang Pagoda？！”
It’s not just him who asked this question.
At this moment, among the five regions of the Upper Clear Realm, almost all the cultivators who were also watching the battle in front of the spiritual mirror blurted out similar questions.
……
“Senior Knife Slave, why can I… why can I climb the tower without competing… without competing？”
Inside the Bamiantai, Xu Taiping also had a look of confusion on his face.
