When the voice of the Sword Ranking List first sounded, the numerous watching cultivators on the stands finally reacted——
”Yun Ye, the highly anticipated disciple of the Three Sovereigns Dao Palace, lost!”
Suddenly, the huge uproar of the watching cultivators on the west side of the Sword Terrace caused the cloud towers and stands to tremble violently.
Inside the watching spirit mirrors, there were continuous shouts of extreme disappointment from the cultivators of the Five Directions World.
However, for the True Martial Heaven cultivators, after seeing Yun Ye’s defeat, the look of fear in their eyes far exceeded disappointment.
A True Martial Heaven cultivator shouted in the spirit mirror with a tone full of horror:
”Even Yun Ye, who was assisted by the Heavenly Dao Decree of the Three Sovereigns Dao Palace, is not Su Chan’s opponent. Can any of you think of any way to stop this Heavenly Demon battle?”
This shout was the voice of the vast majority of True Martial Heaven cultivators at the moment.
However, after this shout, the spirit mirror that had originally been constantly filled with shouts suddenly fell silent.
After a long time, a cultivator from Xuanyuan Heaven finally shouted back:
“Fellow cultivators of True Martial Heaven, those who can return to their mountain gates should do so as soon as possible. Those who can’t, should bring sufficient food and medicinal herbs and find a hidden place to hide as soon as possible.”
“Once the Demon Battlefield opens, True Martial Heaven will become a purgatory!”
“Our Xuanyuan Heaven is a precedent.”
After this shout, the stands in the west of Sword Plateau began to riot.
Even many watching cultivators, after hearing this shout, began to leave their seats one after another.
Obviously, they believed the words of that cultivator from Xuanyuan Heaven and were preparing to return to their respective sects to avoid the upcoming disaster.
For a while, there was a lot of discussion both inside and outside the field.
And the content of this discussion was all about how True Martial Heaven should deal with the tragic situation after losing the upcoming Demon Battle, and no one discussed the upcoming Sword Asking at all.
Everyone seemed to have tacitly agreed that even Yunye of the Three Sovereign Dao Palace was not a match for Su Chan, and True Martial Heaven had no chance of turning the tables.
Therefore, when the name of Xu Taiping was called out on the Sword Champion Ranking, there was not much reaction either on the field or off the field.
Cui Tiegu, who was standing beside Xu Taiping at this moment, after seeing the reaction of the crowd of watching cultivators, suddenly smiled and joked with Xu Taiping:
“It seems that you should be the least optimistic one in this Sword Asking.”
Xu Taiping smiled helplessly and said:
“Old Cui is joking.”
After a slight hesitation, Cui Tiegǔ suddenly looked at Xu Taiping seriously and said:
“Xu Taiping, although I don’t know what the person behind you is thinking, but the old man thinks that one should not be too greedy when being a person.”
Xu Taiping, who was about to step towards the Sword Flat, turned his head with some confusion and looked at Cui Tiegǔ and said: “What does Old Cui mean by this?”
Cui Tiegǔ looked at Xu Taiping and then said without showing any emotion:
“You saw what Ah Meng gained from that sword strike, which is enough to benefit you for a lifetime. There is no need to take the risk of fighting against Su Chan.”
When he said this, Cui Tiegǔ lowered his voice a little and then continued:
“It’s not that the old man doesn’t look favorably on you. It’s just that Su Chan’s swordsmanship has already reached the level of a Sword Saint. If you, in your prime, fight against him, not only will you not get any experience, but you are very likely to be seriously injured because of it.”
Xu Taiping already knew that Cui Tiegǔ knew about his observing the sword and comprehending the sword. The Spirit Moon Fairy had already transmitted the sound to him. So when he heard Cui Tiegǔ’s words, Xu Taiping was not too surprised.
However, Cui Tiegǔ obviously misunderstood something and thought that Xu Taiping, like Yun Ye, regarded this Swordmaster Conference as a cultivation experience.
Xu Taiping smiled and looked at Cui Tiegǔ, and then asked in a calm tone:
”Dare I ask, where is your hometown, Elder Cui?”
Upon hearing this, Cui Tiegu was first stunned, then seriously thought about it, and finally replied:
”To be honest, this is already the sixth life of my experience. And in these six lives of experience, the hometown in each life is different.”
”However, if we really talk about the first life, it should be the same as this life.”
When saying this, Cui Tiegu pointed to the ground under his feet, and then said very seriously: “Also in Zhenwu Heaven.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping nodded with a smile and said:
”Zhenwu is also my hometown.”
After saying this, Xu Taiping resolutely turned around, put his hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and strode towards the sword flat in front.
”You…”
At the beginning, Cui Tiegu felt that Xu Taiping’s words were a bit off-topic and was about to ask another question. However, when he felt the breath of facing death with no fear coming from Xu Taiping’s soul, he suddenly stopped speaking.
Looking at the back of Xu Taiping walking towards the sword flat, Cui Tiegu muttered in his mouth:
”So similar.”
After a slight pause, Cui Tiegu suddenly clenched his fists tightly, and then continued:
”The breath on this son is exactly the same as the breath of those sword cultivators who walked out of Zhenwu and resolutely stepped onto the Demon Battlefield back then.”
In that life, Cui Tiegut, who was just a five-year-old child, had witnessed with his own eyes those most powerful sword cultivators of True Martial walk past him one by one, resolutely step onto the teleportation array, and be sent to the True Martial battlefield.
He even clearly remembered that when he was young, he grabbed a sword cultivator who was walking past him and asked:
“Why aren’t you all afraid at all? On the other side of the teleportation array, there are all murderous demons!”
That young sword cultivator patted his head, looked back at the crowd seeing them off, and then said a sentence that made Cui Tiegut unforgettable for his whole life, but which he couldn’t understand at first——
“Kid, I’m not afraid because, on this side of the teleportation array, there is my hometown, and there are you all.”
Once again recalling that memory of the past, Cui Tiegut, after staring blankly at Xu Taiping’s distant back for a moment, suddenly bit his lip and said:
“All the predecessors who died in the Demonic Heaven battlefield, True Martial has indeed changed a lot in these years, but fortunately, there are still some things that are similar.”
When he said this, Cui Tiegut paused for a moment, and then said:
“For example, the back in front of us.”
Just as Cui Tiegu was speaking, accompanied by a loud “boom”, Xu Tianping, who had already arrived near the Sword Terrace, transformed his figure into a saber qi wrapped in the power of thunder and soared into the sky. Then, with a “bang”, he crashed heavily into the Sword Terrace.
This sound finally woke up the people in the Western Zhou viewing stand and in front of the spiritual mirror.
Immediately after, under the gaze of everyone with complex expressions, Xu Taiping looked into the distance at Su Chan standing at the other end of the Sword Terrace. Then, with a cold gaze, he loudly said:
”Zhenwu Qingxuan Xu Taiping, challenging the sword, Qingxuan traitor, Su Chan!”
