　　Xu Taiping’s mood at this time was the same.
　　This was the first time he had so truly felt the power of the True Martial Great Emperor’s swordsmanship.
　　“Zheng！”
　　Almost at the same time when this sword momentum of Cui Tiegu was generated, accompanied by a deafening sword chirping sound, the group of white sword light that wrapped around Cui Tiegu suddenly elongated, and then rushed through the clouds and fog and soared into the sky.
　　From a distance, the sword light of Cui Tiegu was like a vertical stroke written suddenly by a god with a pen, the tip of the pen piercing through the sky and standing between heaven and earth.
　　Then, I heard that Cui Tiegu shouted at Amon in an extremely heroic voice：
　　“Brother Amon, let’s see how many epiphyllums my brother can cut with this sword！”
　　As soon as the words fell, on the Qijianping, the sword light standing between heaven and earth slashed towards the direction where Su Chan was.
　　Just at this time, Su Chan finally broke through the golden barrier transformed by the divine will of the immortal weapon Zhenggang with the overwhelming Taotie sword intent and the huge Taotie Illusory shadow transformed by the sword energy with a “boom”.
　　The Zhenggang Sword then returned to Cui Tiegu’s hand.
　　And the moment the Zhenggang Sword returned to Cui Tiegu’s hand, the single-plank bridge transformed by the power of Su Chan’s Demon Realm once again blocked between him and Cui Tiegu.
　　However, the next moment, this single-plank bridge lying between the two cliff Illusory shadow s was “boomed” and dissipated in smoke under the huge sword momentum carrying the power of the Taiyue peaks.
　　Then, Su Chan, carrying the Taotie Illusory shadow and the overwhelming black sword energy, was also submerged in the sword light.
　　“Bang！ ……”
　　Amid the deafening explosion sound, two illusory shadows of epiphyllum bloomed successively at the position where Su Chan originally stood, and withered quickly.
　　However, at the moment when the two illusory shadows of epiphyllum withered, Su Chan suddenly revealed his demon god body and turned into a huge monster that was a hundred zhang tall, with black horns on its head, green eyes with vertical pupils, and its whole body except for the face was covered with black scales.
　　“Zheng！”
　　Immediately afterwards, Accompanied by a harsh sword chirping sound, an equally extremely huge illusory shadow of a glutton leaped up from behind Su Chan and bit through the sword light condensed by Cui Tiegu with the True Martial Sword Intent.
　　Although two more epiphyllums withered, this time, the fluctuation of the aura on Su Chan’s body not only did not weaken, but instead increased.
　　Then, with a wave of the long sword in Su Chan’s hand, his own glutton sword qi devoured the sword light transformed by Cui Tiegu through the True Martial Sword Intent in an instant.
　　After that, only heard his tone calm and said：
　　“If Bu Xueting were to display this ephemeral true meaning in the posture of a half-immortal, perhaps it could really make my cultivation level weaken by one level every time an epiphyllum withers.”
　　When he said this, the corner of Su Chan’s mouth slightly raised, and he narrowed his eyes and smiled：
　　“But unfortunately, Bu Xueting had already fallen from his cultivation realm at that time and couldn’t Cast the great perfection of the Ephemeral Flash True Intent.”
　　“Now, as long as there is still one epiphyllum on my body, I can still have the cultivation base and combat power above the Shocking Heaven Realm！”
　　After saying these words, the fluctuation of Qi around Su Chan’s body suddenly rose again, and then covered the entire Sword Flat like a tide.
　　Seeing this, Cui Tiegu said loudly with some regret：
　　“Brother Amon, it seems that this last tough bone still has to be gnawed by you！”
　　Then, he was seen looking up at the Sword Sovereign List, and with a forceful fist salute, he said：
　　“In this sword-questioning session, my Cui Tiegu’s skills are inferior to others, and I am willing to admit defeat！”
　　However, just like before, when Cui Tiegu admitted defeat, Su Chan still slashed out a sword, wanting to kill Cui Tiegu on this Sword Flat.
Just as the voice of Cui Tiegu fell, a thick golden sword Qi barrier rose up straight from between Cui Tiegu and Su Chan.
　　“Bang！”
　　Finally, like Lin Qingnu before, the Sword Sovereign List took this sword of Su Chan for Cui Tiegu.
　　But the difference is that this time, the thick golden sword Qi barrier summoned by the Sword Sovereign List was actually split with a sword mark by Su Chan.
　　After seeing this crack, the crowd finally understood why, even though Su Chan knew that the Sword Supreme Ranking would “take action” to stop it, he still slashed out this sword.
　　Looking at the sword mark on the sword qi barrier of the Sword Supreme Ranking, Xu Taiping muttered with a solemn expression, “The reason why he still slashed out this sword is because he is confident that this sword can split open the sword qi barrier summoned by the Sword Supreme Ranking.”
　　Yun Ye of the Three Sovereigns Dao Palace nodded and said,
　　The reason why it wasn’t split open is because the sword qi barrier summoned by the Sword Supreme Ranking at this moment is much thicker than the sword qi barrier that protected Lin Qingnu.
　　While the two were talking, Cui Tiegu’s figure left an afterimage on the sword platform and then appeared beside Xu Taiping and Yun Ye.
　　Before the two could step forward and ask, they saw Cui Tiegu turn his head and look at Amon and say,
　　Brother Amon, it’s your turn！
　　Yun Ye was very Don’t understand and said,
　　The Sword Supreme Ranking has not yet announced who will ask the sword. Why are you, Elder Cui, so certain that it will be Senior Amon？
　　He　then　added,
　　In my opinion, there is only one epiphyllum left on Su Chan. If Fellow Daoist Taiping and I can chop off this epiphyllum and then have Senior Amon go up to ask Su Chan the sword, the chances of winning are actually the greatest.
　　Xu Taiping didn’t say anything, but in his heart, he actually agreed with Yun Ye’s statement.
　　However, he always felt that the Sword Champion Ranking had “ulterior motives” in this sword challenge, so he didn’t dare to assert how the Sword Champion Ranking would ultimately choose.
　　Before Cui Tiegu could open his mouth to answer, the voice of the Sword Champion Ranking rang out again——
　　”The person challenging the sword in this True Martial Sword Challenge is Amon from the Pure Yang Sword Sect！”
As soon as these words were spoken, there was another burst of the spectator stand of Western Zhou.
　　Obviously, the people on the spectator stand of Western Zhou, like what Yun Ye thought, felt that it would be more likely to win if he and Xu Taiping were allowed to go on stage to challenge the sword first.
　　However, after hearing these words, Amon and Cui Tiegu both smiled relievedly.
　　Immediately, they saw Amon walking towards the sword platform while saying without looking back：
　　”For the Sword Champion Ranking, the real purpose of this sword challenge is not to help True Martial Heaven win this battle between demons and immortals, but to select a satisfactory sword for True Martial Heaven and the Upper Clear Realm.”
　　These words made Xu Taiping and Yun Ye confused.
　　Cui Tiegu beside them looked at Amon’s back as he went on stage and said with a bit of desolation in his tone：
　　”Do you still remember why there is this True Martial Sword Champion Meeting？”
　　Yun Ye thought seriously for a while and then replied：
　　”When the True Martial Emperor ascended, he left his lifelong swordsmanship inheritance in the Sword Champion Ranking. And in order to find successors for these inheritances, the True Martial Sword Champion Meeting was held.”
　　Upon hearing the word “successor”, Xu Taiping’s heart skipped a beat, and then he muttered, “Senior Cui, are you trying to say that compared to the outcome of the Heavenly Demon Battle, the Sword Champion List is more eager to find a true successor for the True Martial Great Emperor？”
　　Cui Tiegu looked deeply at Xu Taiping, and then glanced at Yun Ye, before opening his mouth and saying：
　　”Xu Taiping, you’re right.”
　　”The significance of the True Martial Sword Champion Assembly is to find a successor for the True Martial Great Emperor.”
　　”However, over the past few hundred thousand years, there have often been True Martial Sword Champions, but very few who have obtained the inheritance of the True Martial successor.”
　　”And in all previous True Martial Sword Champion Assemblies, whenever the Sword Champion List has had a candidate for inheritance, it will make that True Martial Sword Champion Assembly extremely difficult.”
　　”Just like this current Heavenly Demon Battle.”
　　Yun Ye of the Three Sovereigns Dao Palace, who still had some doubts, then asked again：
　　”Even if the Sword Champion List wants to find a successor for the True Martial Great Emperor in this Sword Questioning, there is no need to arrange for you and Senior Amon to appear early and deliberately lose this Sword Questioning！”
　　In Yun Ye’s opinion, there is no conflict between selecting a successor and winning this Sword Questioning.
　　Cui Tiegu smiled bitterly and said：
　　”Because neither I nor Amon are the ones the Sword Champion List is looking for.”
　　In the puzzled eyes of Xu Taiping and Yun Ye of the Three Sovereigns Dao Palace, Cui Tiegu let out a long sigh and then explained：
　　If the Sword Ranking wanted to choose me and Brother Amon as its inheritors, it would have done so hundreds of years ago when we first participated in the Sword Ranking Assembly.
　　The reason it didn’t choose us is because it looked down on the two of us.
　　Saying this, he paused for a moment, looked at Amon who was walking towards the Sword Terrace, and then continued：
　　The only role of the two of us in this Sword Questioning is to clear the stumbling blocks for the final test of the Sword Ranking on the two of you.
　　In the stunned eyes of Xu Taiping and Yun Ye, Cui Tiegu turned his head, looked at the two of them again, and then said with a smile：
　　That’s right, the Sword Ranking has chosen the two of you.
　　When the last epiphyllum blooms.
The two of you will welcome the final test of the Sword Ranking.
　　Whoever　can　win.
　　Whoever can obtain the true inheritance of the True Martial Emperor in the Sword Ranking.
