　　Different from ordinary claw skills.
　　When Jin Susu clawed down, the ground under Xu Taiping’s feet suddenly turned into a swamp.
　　For Xu Taiping who was in it, not to mention using his skills and body techniques, even just raising his feet and moving a few steps became extremely difficult.
　　”True Intent？”
　　Xu Taiping used his spiritual sense to sense and confirmed that the illusory swamp under his feet should be transformed by the True Intent under Jin Susu’s claws.
　　If in a situation where he was fully prepared, Xu Taiping could further enhance the power of his physical body and blood qi, and perhaps he could once again break the method with force and break free from this swamp transformed by Jin Susu’s True Intent.
　　However, in the current situation, there was no time for him to slowly enhance the power of his physical body and blood qi.
　　So, Xu Taiping directly put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist.
　　Suddenly, the saber qi hidden in the scabbard began to make bursts of explosive sounds, and strands of electric sparks wrapped around it.
　　During those decades in the cave heaven within the Jin Court, the Gang Qi accumulated in his Qi Mansion, even after being tempered dozens of times, still filled his Qi Mansion.
　　So, as soon as Xu Taiping just held the handle of the knife, the saber qi transformed from the Gang Qi in his Qi Mansion had already filled this bladeless knife.
　　At this time, if Xu Taiping drew the knife, its killing power would be far stronger than the Baxia Style he could Cast with his current physical body and blood qi.
　　On that day at the Myriad Evils Peak, although Xu Taiping also drew the knife and threw punches, at that time, in order to climb to the top of the peak, he self-sealed his blood qi and True Yuan.
　　Therefore, the killing power revealed by his fist and saber techniques at that time was not even a fraction of what it could be.
　　“Zheng！ ……”
　　But just as Xu Taiping was about to draw his saber, a shrill sword chirping sound suddenly rang out above the Sword Flat.
　　Immediately afterwards, a black sword light was seen suddenly flying out from the illusory shadow transformed by the Sword Ranking.
　　“Peng！”
　　With just one sword, the claw shadow of Jin Susu was shattered.
Seeing this, Mrs. Jinzhu immediately flew out from the viewing stand with an extremely terrifying pressure facing the black sword light flying out from the Sword Ranking.
　　But with another ear-shattering collision sound, Mrs. Jinzhu was also sent flying backwards by the Sword Ranking.
　　However, Jin Susu, who was originally about to be killed by the sword light, was ultimately protected by Mrs. Jinzhu with her powerful cultivation.
　　Just at this time, Elder Yu of Qilin Peak flew to the bottom of the illusory shadow transformed by the Sword Ranking, and then angrily scolded the mother and daughter who had retreated to the viewing stand with a cold face：
　　“Mrs. Jinzhu, if you mother and daughter continue to not take the rules of our True Martial Heavenly Sword Ranking Meeting seriously like this.”
　　“I will have to see you out！”
　　As soon as the words fell, the huge illusory shadow of the Sword Ranking above his head was seen suddenly flipping over with the wind.
　　At the same time, streaks of black sword lights, accompanied by ear-piercing breaking wind sounds, began to whirl around the virtual image of the Sword Chief List.
　　These several streaks of black sword lights looked ordinary.
　　But the fierce sword momentum spreading out from the sword lights was like fierce fists, heavily pounding on the people of Qilin Peak.
　　And the Golden Bamboo Lady and her daughter were the first to bear the brunt.
　　Finally, the Golden Bamboo Lady, with a pale complexion, put away the killing intent in her eyes and softened her attitude, saying：
　　“Elder Yu, my beloved daughter has lost her husband and is overly heartbroken, which is why she has done something that violates the rules. Please forgive me.”
　　Then, she saw her looking at Xu Taiping on the sword platform, and then continued with a cold gaze：
In the following competition, our Wangyou Valley will definitely follow the rules!
　　When saying this, the Golden Bamboo Lady deliberately emphasized the word “rules” a little more.
　　Anyone could hear that she was threatening Chu Ping’an.
　　It could be imagined that in the upcoming Sword Question Test or Sword Seizing Test, once Xu Taiping encountered a disciple of Wangyou Valley, there would definitely be a fierce battle.
　　Xu Taiping naturally understood this too.
　　However, he instead felt that this might be a good thing.
　　Because the more attention the identity of Chu Ping’an received, the more likely it was to draw out Su Chan.
　　And luring out Su Chan and disrupting his plans in the dark is precisely the ultimate goal of Xu Taiping’s participation in the True Martial Sword Champion Conference under the identity of Chu Ping’an this time.
　　Immediately, amidst the clamorous discussions of the cultivators on the Xi Zhou viewing platform, Lu Xibai’s corpse was carried off the Sword Terrace.
　　At the same time, more and more cultivators began to pour into the Sword Terrace of Qilin Peak.
　　Some cultivators who left midway even didn’t hesitate to pay the gold essence money again to enter.
Huang Que, who had already come to the viewing platform of Qilin Peak, after seeing the originally empty seats being filled at a visible speed, the corners of his mouth that were open never closed again.
　　He didn’t even turn his head and smiled at Du Gu Qingxiao beside him and said：
　　“Fortunately, there is this Chu Ping’an. Otherwise, in the first round of the True Martial Sword Champion Conference, our Nine Mansions would really lose everything.”
　　Because there were only him and Du Gu Qingxiao on this viewing platform.
　　So when Huang Que spoke, he didn’t pay that much attention.
　　However, what Du Gu Qingxiao on the side was more concerned about was still this casual cultivator Chu Ping’an himself.
　　I saw him pacing to the window and then said thoughtfully：
　　“The cultivation path of this casual cultivator Chu Ping’an seems to be more like a warrior from Youyun Tian than a cultivator from True Martial Tian.”
　　Hearing what Du Gu Qingxiao said, he suddenly thought of something and immediately turned his head to look at Du Gu Qingxiao and said：
　　“Come to think of it, Taiping also seems to take this path.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao shook his head vigorously and said：
　　“No, although the cultivation paths are similar, Taiping is far inferior to him in terms of physical strength and blood energy.”
　　“In addition, the boxing and saber techniques of Junior Brother Taiping are far from being as perfect as Chu Ping’an’s.”
　　When he said this, Du Gu Qingxiao’s gaze once again looked at the sword field outside the window, and then added：
　　“Moreover, according to the deductions of the hexagrams by the elders in the Tianji Pavilion of the Sanhuang Dao Palace, Junior Brother must undoubtedly be trapped in the Jinting Cave Heaven at this moment！”
　　Upon hearing this, Huang Que let out a bitter laugh and turned around to look at Du Gu Qingxiao and said：
　　“Brother Qingxiao, I didn’t say that this Chu Ping’an is Little Taiping. You don’t have to explain like this.”
　　Upon hearing this, Du Gu Qingxiao also had a bitter smile on his face, and then helplessly shook his head and said：
　　“I made Brother Huang Que laugh.”
“These days, my mind is full of the matter of Junior Brother, so after hearing you mention it, I lost my composure.
　　Upon hearing this, Huang Que reached out and heavily patted Du Gu Qingxiao on the shoulder and said：
　　“Brother Qingxiao, once the True Martial Sword Ranking Tournament ends, the Nine Prefectures will definitely go all out to assist Qingxuan Sect in rescuing Little Taiping from within Jinting Cave Heaven！”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao nodded with some gratitude and said：
　　“Then, it will be troublesome for the Nine Prefectures.”
　　Huang Que then added with a serious face：
　　“Brother Qingxiao, if it weren’t for the martial fortune that Little Taiping earned back from the Golden Scale Meeting, the current True Martial Heaven would probably have already been divided up by the various forces in other Western Worlds.”
　　The entire True Martial Heaven owes Xu Taiping a favor.
　　Throughout the entire cultivation world of True Martial Heaven, only in this matter, whether it is casual cultivators or disciples of aristocratic families and sects, there will definitely be no objections.
　　In Huang Que’s opinion, if we really talk about prestige, Xu Taiping alone even surpasses their entire Nine Prefectures.
　　At this time, the sound transmission jade slip in Huang Que’s hand suddenly trembled.
　　Huang Que injected a stream of true essence into it.
　　Immediately, a somewhat anxious voice came out from the jade slip——
　　“Lord Huang Que, can you find a way to postpone the upcoming sword questioning for half a stick of incense？”
　　“There are more and more cultivators outside who want to come in and watch the battle. If we don’t postpone it, I’m afraid that by the time we let them in, this sword questioning will already be over.”
　　Huang Que immediately transmitted a voice to his subordinate and asked：
　　“How many people do you estimate will arrive？”
　　Before long, the voice of his subordinate came from the jade slip again——
　　“If we wait for another half a stick of incense, the nine grandstands on Qilin Peak with nine thousand seats should all be filled！”
