Jiang Ping immediately frowned and grabbed a disciple of Xuandan Palace beside him and asked:
“What’s going on? What kind of joke did that Bei Guo Xiao make again?”
The disciple of Xuandan Palace who was blocked by Jiang Ping slapped Jiang Ping’s hand away and said with some dissatisfaction：
“Don’t you have eyes? Don’t you know how to look by yourself?”
Just as Jiang Ping was about to teach this disciple of Xuandan Palace a lesson, Bei Guo Xiao, who was originally standing on the high platform with a smile, suddenly said seriously：
“Elder Zhou, although I have successfully challenged, if possible, I still want to try the Heaven-level Eight Pillars.”
Upon hearing the words “Heaven-level Eight Pillars”, Jiang Ping was first stunned, and then burst out laughing and said：
“This piece of trash also wants to challenge the Heaven-level Eight Pillars？”
However, to his surprise, the other Xuandan Palace disciples watching the battle on the second floor, after hearing this, not only did not show the slightest contempt on their faces, but their expressions became extremely solemn.
And just at this time, the little disciple who had just had a little conflict with Jiang Ping suddenly said seriously：
“Bei Guo Xiao, who was able to take the attack of the Profound-level Four Pillars with bare hands just now, is not a waste at all.”
As soon as he heard this, Jiang Ping’s head suddenly “buzzed”, and then he said in horror：
“That Bei Guo Xiao, just now actually took all the attacks of the Profound-level Four Pillars with bare hands and passed the test on the second floor？”
And just as he said this, accompanied by a “rumbling” sound of ground tremors, the eight stone pillars around the high platform on the second floor all rose up after a long absence.
“Boom！ ……”
At the same time, an aura fluctuation almost equivalent to the peak of the Asking Heaven Realm suddenly spread out from those eight stone pillars.
Then, sword shadows, palm shadows, fist shadows, and knife shadows began to appear around those eight stone pillars.
It can be imagined that if the attack methods on these eight stone pillars launched attacks simultaneously, it would be almost equivalent to the combined attacks of eight peak cultivators of the Asking Heaven Realm.
This is the horror of the Heavenly Rank Eight Pillars.
Feeling the terrifying aura from the Heavenly Rank Eight Pillars, Jiang Ping muttered in disbelief：
“Just relying on that waste Beiguo Xiao, can he intercept such a terrifying attack？”
He really didn’t believe it.
But the moment his words came out, accompanied by a loud “boom” sound it was seen that a extremely fierce blood and qi fluctuation suddenly spread out from Beiguo Xiao’s obese body.
“Bang！”
Even though he was hundreds of zhang away, Jiang Ping, who was hit by this aura, only felt his chest suddenly stuffy.
Immediately, it was seen that Jiang Ping’s face turned pale and said：
“Impossible, this Beiguo Xiao absolutely cannot have such profound blood and qi power！”
And just as Jiang Ping was saying this, it was seen that Beiguo Xiao suddenly stretched out a hand towards the bottom of the high platform and said loudly：
“Senior Sister Yanyu, lend me your Spring-Slaying Saber for a moment.”
Immediately, Yan Yu, who was squeezed in the crowd, threw the long knife in her hand high and said：
“Catch it！”
Beiguo Xiao on the high platform caught the Spring-Cutting Knife thrown by Yan Yu, and then smiled and said to Xu Taiping in his heart：
“Immortal, the knife has been borrowed for you. Next, it’s all up to you！”
Xu Taiping nodded imperceptibly, then held the handle of the Spring-Cutting Knife vertically in one hand and the scabbard of the Spring-Cutting Knife in the other hand, and at the same time muttered in his heart：
“If I want to catch the blow of eight Asking-Heaven Realm cultivators at the same time, with my current cultivation base and physical strength, I don’t need the Knife-Splitting Style. The Crane-Listening Style should be enough.”
“However, in order to avoid being recognized, this Crane-Listening Style may have to be changed to a more secretive Wind-Listening Style.”
After having a higher-level understanding of the saber technique, Xu Taiping can even modify the saber technique of the Demon-Slaying Saber at will to make it meet the current needs.
With this thought in mind, Xu Taiping took a deep breath and then slowly closed his eyes.
The trick of the Crane-Listening Style lies in the word “listen”.
As long as you can hear the movements of the surrounding enemies, even if there are hundreds or thousands of them, you can kill them one by one.
Seeing that Xu Taiping actually planned to receive the attack of the eight pillars of the Heaven Rank with his eyes closed, many disciples of the Xuandan Palace who were watching the battle only felt that this Beiguo Xiao was too arrogant.
However, after seeing that Xu Taiping was going to close his eyes to take on this challenge, Beiguo Xiao himself said excitedly：
“Immortal, if you can really take on the attack of those eight pillars like this, my life will be worth it！”
Beiguo Xiao simply never dreamed that he could show off his power in front of so many Xuandan Palace disciples who had laughed at him like today.
Xu Taiping felt that Beiguo Xiao was too noisy, so he said expressionlessly in his heart：
“Close your mouth before I draw my knife.”
Beiguo Xiao immediately received the order and said：
“Yes！”
And at this moment, with a rumbling sound, eight stone pillars suddenly lit up at the same time.
“Zheng！… ”
Immediately after, in a burst of sword chirping sounds, dozens of dazzling sword lights were seen shooting out from the stone pillars in all directions towards Xu Taiping in the center of the high platform at the same time.
At the same time, there were also fist shadows, palm shadows, and knife shadows, successively attacking Xu Taiping.
Looking from a distance, Xu Taiping at this moment was just being besieged by eight Asking Heaven Realm powerhouses, it was simply being gang-raped by hundreds of Asking Heaven Realm powerhouses！
Seeing this scene, Jiang Ping gritted his teeth and shook his head vigorously, saying：
“Impossible, that Beiguo Xiao, it is absolutely impossible to take on such an attack！”
“Ceng！”
Almost at the moment when Jiang Ping’s voice fell, accompanied by a harsh sword cry, a dazzling snow-white saber light suddenly burst out in the center of the high platform.
“Boom！ ……”
Immediately afterwards, a group of Xuandan Palace monks watching the battle, including Jiang Ping, only saw the figure of Beiguo Xiao suddenly split into hundreds of afterimages, successively meeting the sword lights, saber shadows and fist shadows from all directions.
“Bang！ ——”
In just one or two breaths, with a deafening collision sound, the sword lights and fist shadows flying out of the eight Heavenly Rank stone pillars were chopped down by the hundreds of afterimages of Beiguo Xiao holding the Spring-Cutting Saber.
“Boom！ ……”
Finally, all the sword lights and fist shadows exploded and scattered.
Only Beiguo Xiao stood there with the saber in hand.
Facing the astonished and frightened eyes cast from all directions, Beiguo Xiao, who had returned to his own body raised his head and said excitedly with tears in his eyes:
“Ah, this is the feeling, Immortal, this is the feeling I want！”
Xu Taiping, who was standing aside in the posture of spiritual travel, looked at the Saber Ghost beside him and slightly frowned and said：
“This kid, could it be that he has read too many storybooks and damaged his brain？”
And at this moment, an old voice sounded from the second floor of Wu Kui Tower：
“Xi Yutang Beiguo Xiao, as the first outer sect disciple in thirty years to successfully challenge the eight pillars of the Heaven Step, can obtain the seat of the Martial Champion on the second floor！”
In an instant, there was an uproar inside the building.
A well-known good-for-nothing playboy could actually obtain the top spot on the second floor. How could this make the disciples of the Xuandan Palace convinced？
