“Dong！ Dongdong！…
In the capital city of Southern Chu, upon hearing the dull tremors coming from the spider cocoon within the spiritual mirror, the expressions of Zhu Huai and the other two all turned solemn.
“So in your opinion, Old Zhu, what should Xu Taiping do next to have the greatest chance of winning？”
The King of Chu was asking the old martial god Zhu Huai for advice.
His words were both for Xu Taiping and for the Third Prince.
After all, if Xu Taiping lost, the cultivator who climbed the tower next would surely still have to face this Li Yezhu.
“For the sake of safety.”
After a slight hesitation, the old martial god Zhu Huai looked at the spiritual mirror in front of him with a serious expression and said：
“Now it seems that Xu Taiping still has to, as before, take that Li Yezhu’s strike first, and then have the Saber Slave break his last two substitute puppets. Only in this way, when the Saber Slave wounds Li Yezhu again, will he have a chance to fight for victory or defeat.”
Although Xu Taiping had learned the Deity Summoning Technique, in Zhu Huai’s eyes, the gap in saber cultivation between Xu Taiping and Li Yezhu was still huge.
At present, the only things Xu Taiping had against Li Yezhu were the slightly stronger battle intent of the Western Army behind him and the Saber Slave, this Dao Protector.
“Old Zhu is right.”
The Qionghua Sword Immortal also nodded at this time, and then continued to look at the constantly rising fluctuation of Li Yezhu’s aura within the spiritual mirror in front of him and said：
”And there is only one chance. Once Xu Taiping fails to block Li Yezhu’s knife, or in the next round, fails to kill the seriously injured Li Yezhu with all his strength, the outcome of this competition will no longer need to be seen.”
Both Zhu Huai and Qionghua believed that Xu Taiping still could not take the initiative to make a move, and at the same time, the outcome of this competition would be revealed within two rounds.
”If Xu Taiping could, like the knife slave just now, now use that move of crossing the gods and summon the Huangquan Ferry Boat, what would the result be？”
The King of Chu suddenly asked a question that neither the old martial god Zhu Huai nor the Qionghua Sword Immortal had considered.
”After all, this Xu Taiping has the Tongming Dao Heart. In terms of the comprehension of spells, he cannot be measured by common sense.”
He then added another sentence.
”This…”
Upon hearing this, the old martial god Zhu Huai was speechless for a while.
The Qionghua Sword Immortal beside him frowned slightly and shook his head vigorously, saying：
”Absolutely impossible！”
Immediately, with his hands crossed over his chest, he very confidently explained to the King of Chu and Zhu Huai：
”This kind of knife technique like the Killing God Knife, even if you understand it quickly, the essence of the knife technique is ultimately in the sentence ‘it can ferry both gods and ghosts’.”
”So if Xu Taiping cannot open the Netherworld with the knife and summon the Huangquan Ferry Boat, the power of the Killing God Knife’s crossing the gods move is even inferior to the previous Invoking God.”
As one of the most powerful sword cultivators in the Shangqing cultivation world, Sword Immortal Qionghua is very clear that the knife’s such exquisite swordsmanship is easy to imitate in form but difficult in spirit.
Even if Xu Taiping is as conceited as he is, he shouldn’t use this move at this time.
Actually, the style is difficult to master, and that’s just one aspect. More importantly it’s not a defensive style. If using this style to resist Li Yezhu’s saber momentum, it’s simply too late.
The old Martial God Zhu Huai added at this time.
“Makes sense.”
The King of Chu nodded seriously.
He just asked casually. Now that Zhu Huai and Qionghua have explained it so clearly, there’s nothing more to be confused about.
“Boom！ …”
Just at this moment, another sound of air explosion came from within the spiritual mirror.
The three people who originally thought it was Li Yezhu recovering her cultivation base, after taking a closer look, all showed expressions of horror in their eyes.
“What does this Xu Taiping want to do？”
The King of Chu pointed at Xu Taiping in the spiritual mirror in surprise.
In the spiritual mirror, Xu Taiping, who was originally waiting in place, suddenly the power of qi and blood in his body, causing his physique to instantly rise from the Wild Lion Realm to the extreme Dragon Whale Realm.
At the same time, his saber qi thunderbolt also began to gather around his body like a storm.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that with this posture, Xu Taiping was clearly planning to decide the outcome with Li Yezhu in this upcoming round.
“What’s the hurry with this Xu Taiping？”
The Sword Immortal Qionghua looked puzzled.
In his opinion, although Xu Taiping’s chance of winning against Li Yezhu was not high originally, if he was in such a hurry to decide the outcome with Li Yezhu in this round, the original 30% chance of winning would immediately become zero.
“I think he should have guessed that Li Yezhu will go all out in the next strike, so he has been gathering his energy early on to avoid any unexpected situations.”
Zhu Huai muttered at this time.
Upon hearing this, the complexions of the Sword Immortal Qionghua and the King of Chu beside him both relaxed a lot.
“There is also this possibility.”
The King of Chu nodded.
But as soon as he finished speaking, his face froze.
Just listen to the “boom” sound. Xu Taiping in the spirit mirror suddenly jumped up from the original place. Then, just like the situation when the knife slave made a move just now, his saber qi thunderbolt suddenly turned into the appearance of waves, and rolled up his whole person at once, and quickly retreated towards the direction where Li Yezhu was.
“Rumble！ ……”
Also at this moment, with Xu Taiping as the center, the area within a radius of a hundred feet was completely covered by the waves transformed by his saber qi thunderbolt.
And this wave, following Xu Taiping’s saber momentum, was surging wave after wave towards Li Yezhu and the military formation behind him.
At least judging from the current momentum, Xu Taiping’s this saber strike had at least sixty percent of the saber slave’s previous saber strike’s power.
“He actually… really learned the Du Shen Style？！”
After being stunned for a long time, the Qionghua Sword Immortal was dumbfounded.
But immediately, he shook his head vigorously and said：
“It’s useless. The saber slave can use the soul imprint to directly transmit power to him, allowing him to quickly learn the Du Shen Style, but the essence of the Du Shen Style, that is, the saber opening the netherworld to attract the yellow finch, this point cannot be taught by others.”
“You’re right.” The old Martial God Zhu Huai nodded with a solemn expression.
Although he was also amazed at Xu Taiping’s saber cultivation talent, on the point that the Qionghua Sword Immortal just said, the two of them had the same opinion.
Compared to the saber momentum and saber intent of this saber strike, whether or not he could open the netherworld with the saber to attract the yellow finch was the most crucial.
“If he can’t do this, it’s better to just strike out with the saber！”
He added affirmatively.
