Many cultivators watching the battle in the First Grade Pavilion who were jealous of the performance of Xu Taiping and his group also felt that what Green Hu of the Ferocious Grotto said was very reasonable, so they began to agree.
　　”This guy indeed has a powerful True Dragon physique, but just relying on this physique, he wants to ask the Saber Emperor about the saber. It’s too overreaching.”
“True Dragon physique?” Didn’t you see that his True Dragon physique was only maintained for a few breaths and then was lifted. It is probably using a means similar to consuming essence blood and essence yuan!
　　“If you say that he wants to fight Yang Ben to the death with his warrior physique, that’s fine. But wanting to ask the saber from Yang Ben？ Who would believe that？”
　　“That’s right, he must be stalling for time.”
After hearing the echo behind her, the Green hu of the Grim Grotto immediately said somewhat proudly:
　　“Such a little trick can only deceive the muddled Yang Ben.”
　　The Blue Stone of the Grim Grotto sitting right opposite her also smiled and said at this time：
　　“Don’t say, when there is no way out, being able to think of this method is really not easy.”
　　When everyone heard this, they all laughed out loud.
　　The Elder Lu in the purple robe who had been staring at the spirit mirror with one gaze also nodded with a smile and said at this time：
　　“Whether he is stalling for time or not.”
　　“After this saber asking, that warrior will either take the opportunity to escape and get away, or be seriously injured under Yang Ben’s saber.”
　　“You can prepare the scroll to teleport to Yangxian City.”
　　Blue Stone and the other three nodded in unison when they heard this.
　　They didn’t want to see the three of them pass through Yangxian City like this, and they also didn’t want to see him die at the hands of the Saber Emperor.
　　And just as the three were talking, Xu Taiping and Yang Ben in the spirit mirror had already stood in the very center of the drill ground.
　　For a while, the several people who had already taken out the teleportation scrolls all held their breath and quietly stared at the spirit mirror in front of them.
　　As long as Xu Taiping falls or flees, they will immediately set off and teleport to Yangxian City.
　　……
　　Yangxian City, in the center of the drill ground.
　　Suddenly, the Blade Emperor Yang Ben stretched out his hand and took out a gold essence coin, and with a squint and a smile, he looked at Xu Taiping and said：
　　“Since it’s a blade interrogation, then we’ll follow the rules.”
　　As he spoke, he was seen pinching the gold essence coin with his thumb and index finger, and then looking at Xu Taiping with a smile and saying：
　　“When this gold essence coin lands, the blade interrogation will begin.”
　　Xu Taiping remained silent and only nodded silently.
　　However, while nodding, he asked the Blade Ghost in his heart：
　　“Senior, otherwise, I’ll retrieve the Xuanyuan clone in the Town Demon Coffin and come and test my blade against this Blade Emperor first？”
　　The voice of the blade cultivator quickly sounded in Xu Taiping’s mind——
　　“There’s no need. Even if you obtain the cultivation gains of that Xuanyuan clone over the years, you may not necessarily be able to withstand one strike from this person.”
　　The blade cultivator then said：
　　“In this blade interrogation, you just need to watch carefully from the side, and leave the rest to me.”
　　Xu Taiping placed his hand on the handle of the blade and nodded imperceptibly.
　　“Ding！”
Just then, I saw that Yang Ben flicked the gold essence coin between his fingertips upwards with force and then grinned and said:
　　“Kid, if the front side of the gold essence coin is facing up, you make the first move. If the back side is facing up, then I’ll make the move！”
　　Sword Emperor Yang Ben emphasized the rules of this sword-questioning again.
　　Before Xu Taiping could open his mouth to respond, he heard the voice of the Sword Ghost, which rang out in his mind impatiently——
　　“Kid, hold your breath and concentrate, and give this body of yours to me！”
　　Although he still had a slight distrust of the Sword Ghost in his heart, the current situation did not allow him to think too much.
　　Moreover, when the Sword Ghost helped his Xuanyuan clone practice swordsmanship, he had already promised the other party that he would lend him his body for a use.
　　So Xu Taiping responded in his heart and said：
　　“Okay.”
　　As he spoke, he closed his eyes.
Xu Taiping had never lent this body of his to anyone other than Fairy Lingyue, so his mood was still a little uneasy.
　　“Boom！ ……”
　　Almost at the moment when Xu Taiping closed his eyes, the three Sealing Demon Swords that had been quietly dormant in the Qi Sea all unsheathed at the same time.
　　“Zheng！ ……”
　　And as the harsh sword chirping sound rang out from within his body, the fluctuations of his aura around his body increased dozens of times in an instant.
　　“Bang！”
　　The powerful fluctuation of aura then turned into a gust of astral wind, which even blew the dust and sand around his body away violently.
　　Obviously, this was the instinctive reaction of his body when welcoming the incomplete soul of the Sword Ghost.
　　Because with just the bit of qi and blood and true essence before the Demon-Sealing Sword was drawn, this physical body of his simply couldn’t withstand the soul of the Saber Ghost.
　　Immediately afterwards, Xu Taiping began to clearly sense that this body was gradually slipping out of his control.
　　At the same time, the excited voice of the Saber Ghost rang out in his mind —
“For how many years, my hand can finally hold a saber again!”
　　“Wonderful, wonderful！”
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s mood was very complicated, with a bit of sympathy and also some vigilance.
What he sympathized with was naturally because of the Saber Ghost’s encounter.
　　And what he was vigilant about was the worry that the Saber Ghost would not keep his promise and take away this physical body of his.
　　However, upon thinking that at this moment, what the Saber Ghost was controlling was merely his Shiyuan Clone, he immediately felt much more relaxed.
　　Because according to what his master Lü Daoxuan said, as long as his true body was still there, he could make this Shiyuan Clone turn into nothingness at any time.
In short, at worst, he would just scrap a Shiyuan Clone.
　　“Click！ …”
　　And almost at the same time when the Saber Ghost completely controlled this Shiyuan Clone, the gold essence coin that was thrown by Yang Ben landed on the ground of the parade ground paved with lapis lazuli, making a clear sound.
　　Xu Taiping took a look at the gold coin that had already landed on the ground and immediately furrowed his brows and said, “Saber Ghost senior, it’s tails.”
　　This was the rule for the two of them to test the saber.
　　If the golden essence coin lands heads up, Xu Taiping will make the first move.
　　If it lands tails up, then it will be the Saber Emperor Yang Ben who makes the first move.
　　After looking at the golden essence coin, the Saber Ghost said dismissively：
　　“So what if he makes the first move？”
　　However, to the great surprise of the two, the Saber Emperor Yang Ben not only didn’t make a move immediately, but instead stood there and smiled, waving at Xu Taiping and saying：
　　“Kid, come on, I’ll let you have a go at me first！”
　　For the Saber Ghost who had already taken over Xu Taiping’s body at this time, the Saber Emperor Yang Ben’s words were no different from provoking him.
　　“Little bastard, you look down on…”
　　Seeing this, the Saber Ghost was about to curse on the spot, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Xu Taiping’s nervous voice transmission：
“Senior, senior, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. You are just a remnant soul now. Don’t let irrelevant people find out!”
　　Under Xu Taiping’s persuasion, the Saber Ghost finally managed to suppress the anger in his heart.
　　However, his next words left Xu Taiping speechless – “Xu Taiping, you make this move.”
　　The Saber Ghost immediately added another sentence：
　　“Also, let me see if you have made any progress in your own cultivation over the years.”
