　　Xu Taiping didn’t immediately agree, but instead taunted in his heart and said：
　　”Senior Saber Ghost, if you can’t bring yourself to be given a saber by someone, just say so! Don’t use me as an excuse!”
　　However, he ultimately didn’t say this out loud and just suggested：
　　”Senior, since he himself wants to give the saber, you might as well fulfill his wish and chop him with one saber strike.”
　　Upon hearing this, Saber Ghost coldly snorted and said：
　　”Bullshit！ In my entire life, I have never been given a saber when asking for a saber！”
　　Xu Taiping, who was scolded by Saber Ghost, immediately said helplessly：
　　”Alright, alright, senior, don’t get angry. This saber strike, I will make.”
　　Since Saber Ghost’s attitude was so firm, this dirty and tiring job had to be done by Xu Taiping himself.
　　As he spoke, Xu Taiping’s divine soul once again took over this Shiyuan clone.
　　And Saber Ghost automatically retreated.
　　Xu Taiping placed his hand on the saber handle, assuming the stance of drawing the saber in the Saber-Slaying-Devil Saber-Slaying-Dragon Style, and then his gaze looked at Saber Emperor Yang Ben and said：
Since it is a saber bestowed by Senior Saber Emperor, then this junior won’t be too kind.
　　Saber Emperor Yang Ben laughed heartily and once again waved his hand and said：
　　”Come on, come at me with all you’ve got！”
At this time, Saber Emperor, compared to his previous appearance with eyes and a lifeless look was simply a world apart.
　　”Boom！”
　　Xu Taiping didn’t hesitate and immediately mobilized all his true essence and blood qi, drawing the Broken Water saber at his waist out of its sheath.
　　“Zheng！ ……”
　　Amidst the ear-piercing sound of the knife, Xu Taiping’s knife intent instantly raised his own knife momentum to the extreme, and made the knife momentum and the knife qi thunder fuse in an instant, turning into a knife shadow more than a hundred zhang long that kept flashing with sparks, and slashed towards Yang Ben with one knife.
　　After being awakened by the Knife Ghost last time.
　　Now when Xu Taiping draws his knife again, it is no longer as imposing as before.
　　The knife is just a knife and nothing else.
　　However, after this change, on the surface, Xu Taiping’s move of Slaying the Dragon seems to be much less imposing than before, but the killing power is several times stronger.
　　“Boom！”
　　In just an instant, this hundred-zhang-long knife shadow slashed on the top of the Knife Emperor Yang Ben’s head.
　　However, just when this knife was only one or two zhang away from his head, Yang Ben suddenly held the long knife horizontally in front of his chest.
　　And this simple action made the vast white snow transformed by the knife qi on the snow-capped mountain behind him suddenly “crash” down and instantly turned into a snow-white cloak draped over his body.
The next moment, Xu Taiping’s hundred-zhang-long knife shadow slashed down and was just blocked by that snow-white cloak.
　　“Bang！”
　　Amidst the huge tremor, the crowd looked on in surprise and found that not only did Xu Taiping’s saber shadow over a hundred zhang long fail to cut through that great cloak, but it was also shaken by the great cloak, causing the saber momentum to shatter and the saber to rebound.
　　However, at the moment when Xu Taiping’s saber was rebounded, the great cloak formed by the saber energy and flying snow of Saber Emperor Yang Ben also split a one or two chi long crack.
　　But because the spiritual mirror screen was too small, and in addition, the crowd’s attention was all on Xu Taiping, so apart from Saber Emperor Yang Ben himself, none of the other cultivators watching the battle in front of the spiritual mirror noticed this scene.
　　……
　　Inside the Old Dragon Court Tea House.
　　After seeing this scene, the crowd of cultivators watching the battle let out a sigh.
　　A cultivator who didn’t think much of Xu Taiping in the first place, after seeing Xu Taiping’s saber momentum shattered and his body shaken back again and again, immediately sneered and said：
I said long ago that this martial artist’s brain must be broken. Who in the Upper Clear Cultivation World would dare to ask the Saber Emperor about the saber?
　　As soon as these words were spoken, someone immediately echoed：
　　“That’s right. Daring to ask the Saber Emperor about the saber, this fellow is simply showing off his incompetence in front of an expert！”
　　However, there were also cultivators who spoke up for Xu Taiping and said：
　　“Stop saying those sarcastic remarks. After encountering the Saber Emperor, this person not only didn’t turn around and flee, but also dared to ask the Saber Emperor about the saber. How many of you have such courage？”
But as soon as these words were spoken, they were met with a chorus of refutation from the crowd of cultivators.
　　In their opinion, asking the saber when clearly knowing one is no match is stupid and idiotic！
　　Soon, those few scattered cultivators who spoke up for Xu Taiping were refuted into silence.
And the few people at the table of Ningchan Cave all had the appearance of watching a show, Youdaoplaceholder0 Stare at the spiritual mirror in front of them while listening to the quarrel in the building.
When the quarrel almost subsided, only then did the green calyx of Ningchan Cave speak fiercely and say:
　　“Serves　him　right！”
And the Elder Lu of Ningchan Cave stroked his beard with a smile, looking confident, and without raising his head, he commanded to everyone:
　　“Next, when the Saber Emperor Yang Ben makes a move, that warrior will surely look for an opportunity to escape. You all watch closely and be ready to teleport over at any time.”
　　Upon hearing this, several people nodded in unison.
　　At this time, Qiansi of Ningchan Cave suddenly picked up a jade slip and looked at the purple-robed Elder Lu and said：
　　“Elder Lu, Huangbo has successfully seized a lower realm and is now outside the Old Dragon Court.”
　　Upon hearing this, the purple-robed Elder Lu didn’t even raise his head and said：
　　“That’s just right. Let him make up for his mistakes and go to Yangxian City first.”
　　Upon hearing this, Qiansi of Ningchan Cave immediately furrowed her brows, but she immediately nodded and said：
　　“Disciple will send a message to him right away.”
Just as Qiansi in the hideous and jagged cave picked up the jade slip to send a message to Huangbo the voice of Blade Emperor Yang Ben rang out again in the spirit mirror on the table——
　　“Lad, that strike just now was quite decent.”
　　Unlike the cultivators watching the battle in front of the spirit mirror, Blade Emperor Yang Ben had personally experienced Xu Taiping’s strike and naturally knew that Xu Taiping’s saber technique was far from being as bad as the onlookers had evaluated.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping cupped his hands and said：
　　“Blade Emperor senior is too kind in his praise.”
　　However, just as he was about to say something more, the divine sense of Saber Ghost suddenly squeezed him out of this Shiyuan clone.
　　Xu Taiping was immediately shocked in his heart and said：
　　“Saber Ghost senior, what do you want to do？”
　　Saber Ghost did not answer Xu Taiping but instead used Xu Taiping’s body to loudly say：
　　“Blade Emperor senior, you just let junior have a strike. As a matter of courtesy, this time please let senior strike first！”
　　As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers in the First Grade Pavilion teahouse were first silent and then in an uproar.
　　According to the rules of the saber challenge.
　　After Blade Emperor Yang Ben let a strike, in fact, Xu Taiping still had a chance to strike again.
　　So Xu Taiping’s words were equivalent to giving up this chance to strike.
　　Amidst this hubbub, some cultivators who had originally disliked Xu Taiping and his group even cursed out in disbelief, saying：
　　“How could this bastard be so brazen and shameless？”
　　“Just based on him, does he deserve to give a concession to Senior Saber Emperor？”
　　At this moment, even the cultivators who had originally admired Xu Taiping for his great courage also showed expressions of disgust on their faces.
　　The people at the table of Grim Chasm Cave all showed mocking expressions.
　　Grim Chasm Qing Shi looked at Xu Taiping standing with the saber in the spirit mirror and said coldly：
　　“Let’s see how long you can continue to put on an act！”
　　Elder Lu in the purple robe picked up the teacup and took a sip, then slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said：
　　“Warriors, especially saber cultivators, sometimes their minds are indeed a bit abnormal.”
