Immediately, he asked Beiguo Xiao:
“You are willing to bet your life just to confirm with that Li Xueqing whether there is still any room for maneuver between you two?”
Beiguo Xiao replied firmly in his heart:
“Yes!”
Xu Taiping nodded thoughtfully and said:
“I really don’t like you very much, but don’t worry. From the very beginning, I didn’t intend to seize your body, nor did I intend to take your life.”
“As for helping you complete today’s challenge and become an inner disciple of the Mysterious Pill Palace.”
“I might as well tell you directly.”
“Next, defeating that Mysterious Rank Knife-Sharpening Boy is of no use to me. What I really want to do is to borrow your body to defeat the Heaven Rank Knife-Sharpening Boy of your Mysterious Pill Palace.”
After hearing these words, Bei Guo Xiao’s heart trembled, and he said nervously:
“Immortal, the combat power of the Heaven Rank Knife-Sharpening Boy is extremely terrifying. If you are not careful, you may die here!”
He immediately added:
“As far as I know, every year there are many outer sect saber cultivators who come to ask for a knife and die under the knife of the Heaven Rank Knife-Sharpening Boy!”
Xu Taiping asked with a smile:
“That’s why I want to remind you that what I’m going to do next is indeed very likely to make you die under the knife of that Knife-Sharpening Boy.”
“It’s still not too late for you to regret now.”
However, Bei Guo Xiao answered without any hesitation:
“As long as the immortal is willing to draw a knife for me, Bei Guo Xiao will never regret it even if he dies!”
After hearing Bei Guo Xiao’s words, the Saber Ghost repeatedly clicked his tongue and said:
“Taiping, your Lotus Pupil’s deduction is correct. This kid is most likely suffering from a love tribulation.”
The Saber Ghost immediately added:
“Love tribulations are too troublesome. Sometimes the person who has been hit by the tribulation knows that there is a thousand feet cliff ahead, but will still jump in.”
While preparing to possess Bei Guo Xiao, Xu Taiping asked the Knife Ghost in his heart:
“Have you jumped?”
The Knife Ghost gave Xu Taiping a blank look:
“No!”
The Knife Ghost added:
“But I’ve seen others jump!”
Xu Taiping smiled and then took over Bei Guo Xiao’s body.
Just at this time, the elder in charge of watching over the Knife Testing Pavilion stepped forward to Bei Guo Xiao and asked with a serious face:
“Bei Guo Xiao, in this round, do you want to go on stage and challenge?”
Xu Taiping nodded on behalf of Bei Guo Xiao and said:
“Yes.”
Upon hearing this, the discussions inside the building ceased immediately, and everyone ‘s eyes looked at Bei Guo Xiao.
The white-haired Elder Zhang nodded and then seriously reminded Bei Guo Xiao:
The knife sharpening boys are different from those mechanisms and treasures downstairs. They won’t be concerned about your lives when they draw their knives. If you find that you can’t defeat them, remember not to hold on stubbornly. Just jump off the platform and admit defeat.”
Xu Taiping nodded again on behalf of Bei Guo Xiao:
“Thank you for the reminder, Elder.”
After saying this, he put his hand on the Spring Slashing Knife at his waist and walked towards the platform at a neither fast nor slow pace.
When passing by Fu Liu, Li Qingxue and the others, he didn’t even look at them, as if they didn’t exist at all.
This was the last round of the challenge, and Xu Taiping didn’t bother to continue pretending to be Beiguo Xiao in appearance and manner.
However, after feeling the indifferent aura emanating from Beiguo Xiao, Li Xueqing felt a bit disappointed in her heart.
Jiang Yan on the side then snorted coldly and said:
“Putting on airs. I’m afraid he won’t even be able to take a single strike from the knife sharpening boy later!”
Fu Liu also said lightly at this time:
“The knife sharpening boy is not like those mechanism magic treasures downstairs. Even with the Beiguo family as a backer, it is impossible to win by just being opportunistic.”
After hearing this, Jiang Yan’s eyes immediately lit up and she said:
“Brother Fu Liu, do you mean that Beiguo Xiao is going to make a fool of himself next?”
Fu Liu smiled faintly and said:
“Making a fool of himself is a small matter. I’m just afraid that he won’t be able to withstand the saber momentum of the knife sharpening boy and will be seriously injured on that stage.”
Li Xueqing’s brows furrowed slightly, but then she immediately snorted coldly and said:
“If he is really seriously injured by the knife of the knife sharpening boy because of momentary vanity, then he deserves it!”
Upon hearing this, Fu Liu immediately said softly to Li Xueqing to persuade her:
“Junior Sister Xueqing, you still have a fierce battle with the knife sharpening boy next. Don’t let your mind be disturbed because of this ignorant and incompetent person.”
Li Xueqing immediately said softly and thanked him:
“Brother is right to remind me.”
And just as the two were talking, Bei Guo Xiao had already leaped onto the high platform and stood in the center of the high platform.
Immediately following, only heard the elder on the sixth floor ask:
“Bei Guo Xiao, which knife-grinding boy do you want to challenge?”
Upon hearing this, Bei Guo Xiao’s gaze looked towards the puppet on the south side of the high platform, and then loudly said:
“Reporting to the elder, the disciple wants to challenge this Yellow Rank knife-grinding boy first to practice.”
Upon hearing this, the numerous Mysterious Pill Palace disciples watching the battle in the building immediately let out a chorus of boos.
They didn’t expect that Xu Taiping, who had been so imposing before, would actually choose the weakest Yellow Rank knife-grinding boy to challenge.
When Fu Liu heard that Xu Taiping was going to challenge the Yellow Rank knife-grinding boy, he immediately raised the corner of his mouth and said:
“As expected!”
Li Xueqing, on the other hand, showed a thick color of disappointment and coldly said:
“Really a lump of mud that can’t be supported on the wall.”
In her opinion, since Bei Guo Xiao had chosen to challenge the Yellow Rank knife-grinding boy, then it was certain that he wasn’t here to obtain the inner sect qualification, but just to go through the motions in this Martial Champion Building and satisfy his vanity.
Xu Taiping on the high platform, upon hearing the boos from around him, couldn’t help but slightly frown and say:
“Can’t I practice?”
“Boom!…”
At this time, accompanied by a deafening air explosion sound I saw that Yellow Rank knife-grinding boy leaped up and landed in front of Xu Taiping.
For a time, the originally noisy sixth floor suddenly became quiet.
Although Beiguo Xiao chose the weakest knife sharpening boy, everyone was still very curious about how far Beiguo Xiao could fight with this Huang-rank knife sharpening boy.
After seeing the Huang-rank knife sharpening boy come to the stage, Jiang Yan, the girl standing beside Li Xueqing, suddenly said expectantly:
“It would be funny if he was injured by the knife of the Huang-rank knife sharpening boy.”
Fu Liu also smiled at this time and said:
“If that’s really the case, I’m afraid the several elders who protected him before won’t have the face to continue staying in Wu Kui Tower.”
And just as the few people were talking, the voice of the elder on the sixth floor rang out again:
“Beiguo Xiao, if you are ready, you can make a move!”
Immediately, everyone saw that Beiguo Xiao on the stage nodded very clumsily and put his hand on the handle of the knife.
Because Beiguo Xiao’s body was too fat, his posture of drawing the knife looked extremely funny.
For a time, the people in the building couldn’t help but burst into a burst of laughter.
“Ceng! ……”
And just in the laughter, Beiguo Xiao finally drew the knife out of the sheath.
Regarding this knife of Beiguo Xiao, the people in the building had no expectations at all, until the powerful knife momentum like a torrential flood suddenly rolled down from the high platform.
“Boom!”
Amid the huge tremor, the crowd, who were almost suffocated by this violent saber momentum, looked on in horror as Bei Guo Xiao merged with the long saber in his hand and turned into a terrifying saber shadow like a surging waterfall.
“Bang! ——”
Amid the huge tremor, the Huang-rank knife-sharpening boy who had not been able to draw his saber was directly pulverized under Bei Guo Xiao’s saber strike.
“Clatter clatter clatter…”
The next moment, in the dumbfounded expressions of the onlookers, the fragments of the puppet body of the Huang-rank knife-sharpening boy fell to the ground like raindrops.
