　　Hearing this, Dugu Qingxiao looked in the direction Liang Zhu pointed.
　　Immediately, he saw that on the sword flat that had been separated by the sword energy barrier, on the side where Xu Taiping was, there was a thick and smoky qi and blood power slowly rising from Xu Taiping’s body.
　　At the same time.
　　Xu Taiping’s physique was also growing taller at a visible speed. In just the blink of an eye, he had grown to one zhang.
　　The muscles on his body were also bulging one by one. From a distance, it was like being cast from hard iron.
　　However, compared to this physique that was like the true body of a demonic beast, what surprised Du Gu Qingxiao even more was the surging fluctuation of Qi and blood that Xu Taiping was currently emitting.
This fluctuation of Qi and blood, which was jointly driven by the power of Qi and blood and true essence was like the surging angry waves on the sea, wave after wave, spreading out with Xu Taiping as the center.
　　“Taiping… this… this is not only an improvement in cultivation to above the Wangtian Realm, but the power of the physique and Qi and blood seems to be about to break through the Wushen Realm as well！”
　　Seeing this scene, Du Gu Qingxiao’s heart skipped a beat.
　　If it wasn’t today, and if he hadn’t seen this scene at the Sword Supreme Assembly, Du Gu Qingxiao should have been the first to go on stage and congratulate Xu Taiping.
　　But at the moment, not only could he not be happy, but a strong sense of urgency also rose in his heart.
　　While Du Gu Qingxiao was pulling Liang Zhu and quickly going downstairs, he muttered in his heart：
Just by this fluctuation of Qi and blood it is enough for the Nine Mansions and the others to assume that Xu Taiping used the means of evil cultivation or demonic Youdaoplaceholder0 to break the Broken Bone Curse.
　　“At that time, even if Taiping can defeat Zhou Zaidao, what awaits him will inevitably be the prison of the Nine Mansions.”
　　Just as Du Gu Qingxiao was thinking like this, the third bell rang, “Dang” came from above the Sword Flat.
　　At this time, he finally reached the third floor of the fifth-tier grandstand.
　　“Boom！ ……”
　　After the sound of the bell, the barrier of sword qi on the sword flat shattered accordingly.
　　Immediately, amidst the uproar in the audience, Zhou Zaidao laughed maniacally and said, “Xu Taiping, you would rather expose your identity as a demonic cultivator than not fight me. I, Zhou Zaidao, respect you as a man！”
In the midst of this wild laughter, Zhou Zaidao gathered his index and middle fingers to form a sword finger and then suddenly pointed upwards.
　　“Zheng！ ……”
　　Amidst a burst of ear-piercing sword chirping sounds, hundreds and thousands of sword shadows broke through the air and fell, stabbing straight towards Xu Taiping.
　　Looking from a distance, Xu Taiping seemed to be in the middle of a sea of swords.
　　“Boom！ ……”
　　And at the moment when these countless sword shadows fell, an even more surging fluctuation of true essence and blood qi spread out from Xu Taiping’s body.
The next moment, everyone saw that Xu Taiping, whose height had already increased to three zhang, had the skin all over his body covered with pieces of silver dragon scales except for his face.
　　After feeling the long-lost surging power of blood qi in his body, Xu Taiping raised his head, looked at the sword rain falling towards him, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said：
　　“Let me see, outside of the Mysterious Desolation Pagoda, just how hard the Fury Dragon Physique under the Unsullied Realm is.”
　　Almost at the same time as Xu Taiping’s voice fell, I saw the hundreds and thousands of sword shadows all fall at once.
　　“Boom！ ——”
　　The moment the sword shadows fell, the entire Sword Flat trembled.
　　After feeling the momentum of Zhou Zaidao’s sword, all the onlookers thought that under this sword, even if Xu Taiping didn’t die, he might be seriously injured.
　　But when the sword energy on the Sword Flat dissipated, all the onlookers looked in astonishment and saw that Xu Taiping was still standing on the Sword Flat intact.
　　For a while, there was an uproar in the field.
　　The original smiling Zhou Zaidao’s smile suddenly froze.
　　Amidst this uproar, Xu Taiping pressed his hand on the Broken Water Saber at his waist, and at the same time, his eyes stared at Zhou Zaidao without blinking and said：
　　“It’s　my　turn.”
　　Upon hearing this, Zhou Zaidao’s face turned cold, and he immediately erected his sword fingers and drew a cloud talisman in front of him with sword energy.
　　“Boom！ ……”
　　Almost at the same time as the cloud talisman appeared, a huge sword with a cold light overflowing to the west flew out of the cloud talisman with a “swish” sound and shot straight at Xu Taiping in front.
　　At the same time, countless sword shadows flew out from behind Zhou Zaidao and stabbed at Xu Taiping from all directions, densely packed and airtight.
　　However, at the same moment when the flying sword flew out of the cloud talisman.
Xu Taiping suddenly stomped his foot on the ground, and with a “boom”, his body flew forward. When he was only two or three hundred zhang away from Zhou Zaidao, he “miso” pulled out his knife and shouted loudly —
　　”Open！”
　　The moment the word “Open” was shouted, a dragon shadow “boomed” and wrapped Xu Taiping and Zhou Zaidao inside. At the same time, a heavy mountain soul power crashed down, causing Zhou Zaidao’s flying sword to suddenly sink downward.
　　This was naturally Xu Taiping’s Mountain Soul Saber Domain.
　　And after the Mountain Soul Saber Domain was opened, Xu Taiping used a move of Slaying the Dragon that integrated the power of the Mountain Soul Saber Domain and slashed towards Zhou Zaidao.
　　”Boom！ ……”
　　The moment the Broken Water Saber was slashed out, a huge golden saber shadow three hundred zhang long, carrying a saber roar with the sound of a dragon’s cry, slashed towards Zhou Zaidao.
“Swish!”
　　Amid the ear-piercing sound of breaking through the air, although Zhou Zaidao tried his best to recall the flying sword and countless sword shadows to block in front of him, he still could not block Xu Taiping’s saber strike.
　　”Boom！”
　　Amid the huge shock, the sky full of sword shadows and the flying sword were cut open by Xu Taiping’s saber in one strike.
“Bang!”
　　Zhou Zaidao, who was hiding behind the sword shadows, was also cut open by Xu Taiping’s saber, breaking the protective sword light and tearing the magic robe on his body.
　　Finally, this saber strike of Xu Taiping left a saber mark on Zhou Zaidao’s chest that was deep enough to see the bone.
　　At the same time, his body was also sent flying backward by the surging saber energy.
　　If it wasn’t for the fact that when he was about to roll off the Sword Terrace, he forcefully slapped the Sword Terrace with a palm and stabilized his figure, he should have already fallen off the Sword Terrace by now.
　　On the Western Zhou viewing stand, after a brief moment of deathly silence, a burst of ear-piercing exclamations erupted.
　　Obviously, no one had expected that Zhou Zaidao, who had previously killed Liu Zijin with almost no power to fight back, actually couldn’t even block a single saber strike from Xu Taiping.
　　“Hahaha！ …”
And at this moment, Zhou Zaidao suddenly let out a wild laugh, and then seeing him in an extremely disheveled state he pointed at Xu Taiping and said:
　　“Xu Taiping, you, a cultivator who has been planted with the Broken Bone Curse, were actually able to raise your cultivation base and combat power to a level comparable to that of a cultivator in the Asking Heaven Realm in just a few decades.”
　　“There must be a demonic seed planted on you！”
　　Just as the purpose of Xu Taiping participating in this Sword Questioning was not to win in this Sword Questioning, the purpose of the demonic creature possessing Zhou Zaidao to participate in this Sword Questioning was also not to win in this Sword Questioning.
　　But to force Xu Taiping to use that power that didn’t belong to him.
　　“Demonic seed？”
　　Xu Taiping, holding the Broken Water Saber in his hand, coldly smiled and said：
　　“I’m afraid it’s going to disappoint you.”
　　As he sheathed his long saber, he continued：
　　“I don’t have that thing on me.”
　　Xu Taiping, who was already prepared to reveal his ordinary bone constitution, simply wasn’t worried about Zhou Zaidao’s accusation.
　　“Boom！”
　　After putting away the saber, Xu Taiping’s figure flashed, and he directly appeared in front of Zhou Zaidao.
　　Without any hesitation, he used a Bajia move and heavily smashed it into Zhou Zaidao’s abdomen.
　　“Bang！”
　　Amid the loud noise, although Zhou Zaidao, who had received Xu Taiping’s Bajia move, still stood motionless in place.
　　But around his body, a blood mist exploded.
　　And his face distorted due to the pain.
However, very quickly, Zhou Zaidao used his last bit of strength to shout loudly: “Everyone in the Nine Prefectures, this person used demonic cultivation methods to break the Broken Bone Curse. Are you really going to stand by and do nothing?”
　　Regarding Zhou Zaidao’s shout, Xu Taiping acted as if he didn’t hear it and punched him in the abdomen again.
　　Just like the previous punch, Zhou Zaidao’s body still didn’t move at all, but a blood mist exploded around his body.
　　At the same time, the invisible soul power in the fist was like countless steel needles, deeply piercing into the soul of the demonic creature in Zhou Zaidao’s body.
　　Then the severe pain from the damaged internal organs once again distorted Zhou Zaidao’s face.
　　This was exactly the method taught to Xu Taiping by Fairy Lingyue to torture these demonic creatures.
　　Xu Taiping wanted to use this method to make this demonic creature appear.
　　In this way, he wouldn’t even have to expose his identity as a mortal bone and could retreat unscathed from this Sword Questioning.
　　“Stop, don’t harm my disciple of Bajing Dao Palace！”
　　Just as Xu Taiping was about to throw the third punch at Zhou Zaidao, an old voice suddenly came from one of the viewing stands.
　　Immediately after, an old man was seen splitting open the restriction of the Sword Terrace with his sword and flying down onto the Sword Terrace.
　　“Xu　Taiping,　stop！”
　　And at the same time as this old man appeared, Liu Chuxuan, the master of the Nine Palaces, followed closely behind and landed on the Sword Terrace.
　　Seeing this, Xu Taiping helplessly put away his fist and muttered in a low voice：
　　“It seems that I still have to tell the truth.”
