In fact, just judging from Xu Taiping’s current superficial state, I’m afraid that even Xu Taiping himself doesn’t think he has a chance of winning.
So this warning from Chu Ping’an should not be out of contempt or arrogance. He really didn’t intend to kill Xu Taiping.
With this thought in mind, Xu Taiping also adjusted his evaluation of this Bai Di in his heart and murmured in a low voice：
Although this person is hypocritical and does things will stop at nothing, he is not a bad seed after all.
Since this is the case, then I will also hold back a little when I make a move next.
So he was seen pressing his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist while shaking his head at Bai Di and saying：
Friend Bai Di, since I have come to this Sword Terrace, I have naturally already prepared for death. You can just make a move！
Upon hearing this, Bai Di’s brows immediately furrowed, and he said coldly：
Once I draw this sword, I won’t be able to take it back.
At this time, the True Yuan and Qi and blood remaining in Bai Di’s body were only enough for him to draw this one sword, and he simply didn’t have the strength to take it back.
Chu Ping’an nodded and said：
”Daoist Baidi, feel free to draw your sword.”
As soon as these words came out, the watching cultivators on the stands in Western Zhou, especially those casual cultivators from True Martial Heaven, couldn’t sit still one by one.
Some casual cultivators even ignored the risk of being expelled from the Sword Supreme List and directly shouted at Xu Taiping with True Yuan for the first time, saying：
”Brother Taiping, as long as the green mountains remain, there will always be firewood. After losing this round, you may not necessarily have no chance to win.”
After this loose cultivator took the lead, the voices shouting at Xu Taiping became more and more numerous——
“Brother Taiping, let’s stop here. It’s just a sword-questioning. There’s no need to risk your life！”
“Brother Taiping, we have already prepared a banquet for you. There’s no need to continue this sword-questioning！”
Not only these True Martial Heavenly loose cultivators, but at this time, Zhao Linglong also had a nervous expression on her face.
After thinking for a long time, she finally asked the Fairy Lingyue beside her, “Fairy, let me shout to Taiping. Otherwise, with this stupid boy’s stubborn temper, he really will fight Baili to the death.”
Hearing this, Fairy Lingyue shook her head with a smile and said,
”Miss Linglong, you underestimate your little junior brother too much, don’t you？”
Zhao Linglong asked Fairy Lingyue very puzzledly,
“Why would the fairy say such a thing？”
Fairy Lingyue pulled Zhao Linglong and pressed her back to her seat. Then, with her gaze fixed on the sword field below, she said without looking back：
“Don’t forget, your little junior brother Xu Taiping is not just a martial artist.”
“He is also a saber cultivator.”
“And he even has a sword hidden on him.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Linglong’s eyes lit up and she said：
“That’s right. In today’s competition, Taiping not only didn’t use his saber, but also didn’t use much true essence.”
Just as Zhao Linglong said.
In today’s sword questioning, not only did Xu Taiping not use his saber, but he also didn’t use much true essence.
Most of the time, he used his qi and blood power and martial arts techniques to fight against the enemy.
Precisely because of this, at the moment, except for Fairy Lingyue, most of the cultivators on the field, including Bai Di, regarded Xu Taiping as a pure martial artist.
……
On the sword field.
“Since you are determined not to admit defeat, don’t blame me for being ruthless with my sword. I must not lose this sword questioning！”
Seeing that Xu Taiping was determined not to admit defeat, Bai Di immediately lost patience and once again raised the long sword in his hand, aiming the sword tip at Xu Taiping ten zhang away.
Xu Taiping just tightened his hand holding the saber handle, and then nodded calmly and said：
“Fellow Daoist Bai Di, please enlighten me.”
And almost the moment his words came out, that Bai Di didn’t hesitate any longer. With a “shua” sound, he stabbed out with his sword towards Xu Taiping.
Although the true essence remaining in Bai Di’s body at this moment was already not much, perhaps because his Dao heart was more firm, the power of this sword of his, at least on the surface, was not much weaker than the previous few swords.
”Boom！”
With the sound of a deafening air explosion, that Bai Di and the long sword in his hand seemed to merge into one. Driven by a burst of violent sword qi, he turned into a stream of light and stabbed straight at Xu Taiping.
”Ceng！”
And the moment this sword stabbed over, Xu Taiping suddenly pulled out the long knife at his waist.
The next moment, accompanied by the sound of a “rumbling” air explosion, a vast and mighty saber qi, like a surging torrent after a dyke burst, under the guidance of the long knife in Xu Taiping’s hand, surging out from his qi mansion.
”Bang！”
In just an instant, Bai Di, together with the long knife in his hand, was shaken out of the sword flat by this saber qi like a torrent.
At the same time, the aura on Xu Taiping’s body fluctuated, and suddenly, as if breaking through some kind of restriction, it suddenly rose.
The fierceness of this aura fluctuation caused by fully activating the true essence had even exceeded that of many cultivators who had reached the middle or even the great completion stage of the Looking Heaven Realm.
What they didn’t know was that under the ‘devastation’ of those eight soul imprints, both Xu Taiping’s physique and his dantian qi mansion had been forced to increase the amount of true essence they could accommodate, and make the true essence and astral qi become more refined.
It should be known that before the first Demon-Sealing Sword was forged, even such refined and profound true essence was still completely devoured by those eight soul imprints.
It was not until the first Demon-Sealing Sword was forged that Xu Taiping was able to freely mobilize part of the qi and blood true essence power that was suppressed by the soul imprints.
And even so, the profound of the true essence he was revealing at this moment was still one or two times that of his contemporaries cultivators.
Feeling the surging true essence in his body at this moment, Xu Taiping let out a long sigh and said:
Fortunately, after breaking through to the Sky-Gazing Realm, the meridians have been tempered and widened a lot. Otherwise, with such a quantity of true essence being suppressed for so long, if it is released all at once, it is very likely to burst the meridians.
This was the first time since Xu Taiping refined the Demon-Sealing Sword that he had fully driven the true essence like this. Before, he either only mobilized part of the true essence or relied on his physique and the power of qi and blood to fight the enemy.
He had never been so unbridled as today, releasing such a quantity of true essence in one breath.
After doing all this, Xu Taiping looked in the direction where Bai Di landed and, at the same time, quietly transmitted a voice to Fairy Lingyue in his heart and said：
“Sister Lingyue, is this movement enough？”
At the end of this sword questioning, the greater the movement, the better. Only in this way can Su Chan be drawn out.
This was the instruction that Fairy Lingyue gave to Xu Taiping before this sword questioning.
After thinking for a while, Xu Taiping added another sentence and said：
“If it’s not enough, I can try to see if I can pull out the Demon-Sealing Sword.”
According to what was said on the Demon-Sealing Sword taught by the Mysterious Desolation Great Emperor, the moment this Demon-Sealing Sword is drawn out of its sheath, it can make the eight soul seals on Xu Taiping’s body all fail at the same time.
At that time, Xu Taiping’s pure true essence and blood energy that are eight times that of a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Vision Realm will release an aura fluctuation that can be comparable to that of a cultivator in the Heavenly Questioning Realm.
