　　Zheng！ ……
　　Just at this moment, the knife-grinding boy, who had already adjusted his breath, suddenly carried a mountain-crushing and sea-overturning saber momentum, turned into a nearly hundred-zhang-long flame saber shadow, and chopped down with a single saber at Bei Guo Xiao, who was still standing motionless in place at this moment.
　　“Bang！ ……”
　　But what everyone didn’t expect was that when the hundred-zhang saber shadow was still more than ten zhang away from Xu Taiping’s head, it was suddenly scattered by the double-dragon-shaped protective saber flame around Xu Taiping’s body.
　　The knife-grinding boy fell to the ground in a very embarrassed manner.
　　And Xu Taiping, who was protected by the double-dragon saber flame, finally opened his eyes at this time.
　　“Boom！ ——”
　　In the blink of an eye when he opened his eyes, the saber flame around his body suddenly shot up into the sky, directly shattering countless forbidden runes on the top of the Saber Testing Pavilion.
At the same time, the saber energy diffusing from around his body broke through the barrier around him and it was like a real saber continuously slashing at the onlookers.
　　A group of Xuandan Palace disciples watching the battle had to sacrifice magic weapons and weapons to block.
　　Even so, no one chose to leave.
　　Because they could sense that what was about to follow was very likely to witness a scene that would be enough to be recorded in the annals of the sect.
　　“Boom！”
At this time, I saw that the knife-grinding boy who had already stood up, the qi around his body soared again.
　　At the same time, only heard the knife-grinding boy, while pressing his hand on the knife handle, said emotionlessly：
　　“Draw　your　knife.”
　　For a moment, all the sights in the Knife-Testing Pavilion fell on Xu Taiping.
　　Xu Taiping, who was still immersed in the perception of the extreme state, glanced at the knife-grinding boy expressionlessly, then nodded slightly and pressed his hand on the knife handle.
　　“Dong！ …”
　　The moment his hand was pressed on the knife handle, the knife qi that was originally released around Xu Taiping’s body suddenly all converged into the knife qi of the Spring-Slaying Knife in his hand.
　　Ka ka ka …
　　In an instant, countless fine cracks spread on the scabbard of the Spring-Slaying Knife.
　　And the Spring-Slaying Knife still in the scabbard also let out an excited knife chirping sound.
　　“Ceng！ …”
　　Just at this time, I saw the knife-grinding boy on the opposite side who had already completed his momentum suddenly draw his knife out of the sheath.
　　“Dong！”
　　The moment the long knife was drawn out of the sheath, the entire Wu Kui Tower trembled.
　　Even the heaven and earth outside the Wu Kui Tower trembled violently when the knife-grinding boy drew his knife.
　　Just now, although the knife-grinding boy was at a disadvantage, his comprehension and progress of the Burning Knife Style did not stop.
　　“Boom！”
　　Immediately, in a deafening sound of the knife breaking through the air, the Flame Knife Shadow of the Knife-Sharpening Boy devoured Xu Taiping on the opposite side like a surging wave.
　　This scene shocked the hearts of all the disciples of Xuandan Palace.
　　Because this knife of the Knife-Sharpening Boy had already surpassed the knife with which Bei Guo Xiao defeated him just now.
　　“Ceng！”
And it was not until this moment that the sound of Xu Taiping drawing his knife finally came.
　　Just when everyone thought that Xu Taiping was powerless to turn the situation around, the knife flame of the Knife-Sharpening Boy, which was like a raging wave, was suddenly inflated like a ball.
　　“Boom！”
　　The next moment, in the horrified eyes of a disciple of Xuandan Palace, the knife flame of the Knife-Sharpening Boy, which had swollen several times, suddenly burst.
　　What followed was a dazzling knife light like a mirror, which cut open the spherical light curtain formed by the barrier of the Lotus Pupil Knife-Trying Pavilion and the body of the Knife-Sharpening Boy together.
Immediately, the knife light like a circular mirror began to spread around the ruins of the high platform as if it was going to cut the entire Martial Exalted Tower into two parts with the Knife-Trying Pavilion on the sixth floor as the boundary.
　　“Peng！”
　　But at this critical moment, the eight stone pillars that were originally placed on the second floor actually rose from the ground of the Knife-Trying Pavilion at the same time and blocked this knife light abruptly.
　　“Boom！ ……”
Just before everyone’s tense heartstrings could relax, they saw that above the saber light imprisoned within the stone pillars little spots of light suddenly suspended.
　　These spots of light, like golden insect eggs, slowly rose upwards.
　　“Bang！”
　　Just as the disciples of Xuandan Palace were curious about what this was, they saw that one of the golden “insect eggs” suddenly burst open and turned into a golden fire butterfly.
　　“Bang, bang, bang！ ……”
Youdaoplaceholder0, the sound of explosions kept rings out and the dense golden fire butterflies imprisoned within the eight stone pillars began to converge into a huge light column and slowly flew towards the roof of the Saber Testing Pavilion.
Just when the cultivators including Elder Niu were looking at a loss, the voice of the Palace of Xuandan suddenly rang out like a thunderclap in this Saber Testing Pavilion.
　　“Quickly close your eyes！ Guard your spirit！ Protect your body！”
Because it is one of the few sects in the Five Directions Heaven and Earth that would send disciples to the Heavenly Dao Demon Battlefield, the laws and regulations of Xuandan Palace are extremely strict.
So the moment the Lord of Xuandan Palace’s voice sounded the vast majority of the disciples of Xuandan Palace instinctively obeyed the palace’s order, closed their eyes Youdaoplaceholder0 their body-protecting astral qi, and gather their external mindInduction.
　　But there were still a very small number of Xuandan Palace disciples who, because they were too engrossed in watching, failed to follow the order in time.
　　And it was precisely these disciples who saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.
　　“Boom！ ……”
With the sound of a knife ringing out, mixed with the sounds of dragons and cranes, it was seen that the thousands of fire butterflies that had converged into a pillar of light suddenly flapped their wings together and turned into streaks of dazzling fire rising up.
　　And these thousands of fire snakes eventually converged into a circular pillar of fire, which penetrated several layers of roofs including the Knife Testing Pavilion in a row and finally soared into the sky.
　　At the same time, when the huge pillar of fire soared into the sky in the Traditional Wu Kui Tower, it emitted a glaring light like the big sun, as well as a heat wave that could melt the cultivator’s body entirely.
　　And what was even more terrifying was.
　　This heat wave and that light not only did not weaken with the passage of time, but instead became even more dazzling and scorching.
　　Those cultivators who did not have time to close their eyes and protect their bodies felt as if they were only a few zhang away from the big sun in the sky.
Finally, ina series of screams, the eyes of those several cultivators burned up together and the magic treasures on their bodies were torn apart.
Youdaoplaceholder0, the Palace of the Xuandan palace made a timely move and completely blocked off that glaring light and heat wave.
But even he, as the Lord of the palace was still burned by the heat wave until his golden protective light dissipated and his Taoist robe was torn.
　　Fortunately, this pillar of fire, as dazzling and hot as the sun, only lasted for a few breaths and then dissipated completely as if it had never appeared.
But even so, the crowd who were shocked by the terrible smell just now still closed their eyes tightly and didn’t even dare to take a breath.
Even the old Palace of Xuandan only turned his head and looked behind after the pillar of fire completely dissipated.
　　I saw on the ruins of the central high platform of Shidao Pavilion behind, Beiguo Xiao weakly stood leaning on the knife, while the Grinding Knife Boy only had the lower half of his body kneeling on the ground.
　　He raised his head and looked at the roof of Shidao Pavilion.
He found that although the roof seemed intact at first glance, when looking carefully, it could be seen that the roof was covered with fine holes like a needle.
　　Elder Niu on the side also noticed this at this time, and immediately asked with a slightly trembling voice：
“Palace Master, just now, what was that exactly?”
After the old master sensed that there were were no casualties upstairs, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little and then he murmured and replied:
　　“A sword cultivator broke through to the extreme sword of the sword cultivator realm.”
　　He　immediately　added：
　　“And it is very likely to be an incomplete sword.”
Elder Niu, upon hearing this, immediately turned his gaze towards Bei Guo Xiao, who was standing with the pestle knife a kind of knife), and then said with a numb scalp:
　　“He… he actually really broke through to the Saber Immortal Realm？！”
　　The old palace master did not answer Elder Niu, but only stared at Bei Guo Xiao meaningfully for a glance.
　　And at this time, Xu Taiping, who was looking at this scene in the Saber Testing Pavilion in a state of spiritual travel, after hearing the words of the old palace master, let out a long sigh of relief like a relieved person and said：
　　“Fortunately, I managed to stop this saber strike in time.”
　　The Saber Ghost beside him also said with a scared look on his face at this time：
　　“The power of your Burning Saber Style has already exceeded the scope of an ordinary Saber Immortal Extreme Realm saber strike. Fortunately, the old palace master of the Xuandan Palace made a move in time. Otherwise, I’m afraid this entire Wu Kui Tower would have been destroyed by your saber strike.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded with a scared look on his face and said：
　　“I didn’t expect that the Extreme Realm saber strike of this Burning Saber Style under my current Jingtian Realm cultivation and Great Saint Realm physique would have such astonishing power.”
　　The Saber Ghost took a deep look at Xu Taiping and then asked：
　　“How much divine essence did you consume with that saber strike just now？”
　　Xu Taiping smiled bitterly and said：
　　“Nine.”
　　The Saber Ghost took a deep breath and then said with some pity：
　　“It seems that the reason why your Extreme Realm Burning Saber Style has such power is all the result of your desperate efforts.”
　　“Moreover, this is only an incomplete Extreme Realm Burning Saber Style.”
　　“If it were a complete Extreme Realm Burning Saber Technique, with your current divine essence and physical cultivation, I’m afraid you would be burned to ashes along with this saber strike.”
　　When saying this, a hint of regret appeared in the eyes of the Saber Ghost.
He had originally planned to let Xu Taiping test his saber with the Extreme Realm Burning Saber Technique. Now it seems that unless Xu Taiping’s divine essence increases, he simply can’t perform the a complete Extreme Realm Burning Saber Technique.
　　Xu Taiping also said with some regret at this time：
　　“Before the divine essence can be improved, I’m afraid I can only use the incomplete Burning Saber Technique.”
　　When saying this, he suddenly thought of something and immediately asked the Saber Ghost：
　　“Senior, this half of the Extreme Realm Burning Saber Technique should be able to break the seal of the body of the Demon Emperor Flood Dragon God, right？”
　　The Saber Ghost rolled his eyes at Xu Taiping and said：
　　“This half of your Extreme Realm Burning Saber Technique is even stronger than the full-strength strike of some cultivators who have just entered the Harmony with the Dao Realm. How could it not be able to break it？”
　　Hearing this, Xu Taiping suddenly felt relieved.
　　“Pat, pat…”
And at this moment, accompanied by a series of heavy footsteps, I saw Bei Guo Xiao, who had also exhausted all his true essence and blood qi, dragging the Spring-Slaying Saber in his hand and walking step by step towards Fu Liu and Li Xueqing and the others.
　　Seeing this, Fu Liu immediately pulled Li Xueqing, who had a look of horror on her face, and prepared to leave.
　　But just as the two turned around, they were stopped by Beiguo Xiao with a shout：
　　“Stop, Junior Sister Xueqing！”
　　After stopping Li Xueqing, Beiguo Xiao continued with a tired look on his face：
　　“Junior Sister Xueqing, don’t worry, I won’t make things difficult for you.”
　　As Beiguo Xiao put away the Spring-Slaying Saber, he continued with an extremely serious expression：
　　“I stopped you today just to ask you a few questions in person.”
　　Seeing this scene, Xu Taiping immediately frowned and said：
　　“Could this Beiguo Xiao be trying to take advantage of today’s momentum to reconcile with that Li Xueqing？”
　　And just as Xu Taiping was saying this, the Lotus Eye in his left eye suddenly felt hot, and a figure of a man holding up the sky with one hand like a god appeared in his mind.
Looking closely, the appearance of this god-like figure was quite similar to that of Beiguo Xiao.
　　Immediately, Xu Taiping’s heart trembled, and he secretly asked the Lotus Eye：
　　“Lotus Eye, did you see something on Beiguo Xiao？”
　　The Lotus Eye replied faintly：
　　“His　previous　life.”
　　Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened and he said：
　　“Previous life？ Does that mean that like the Haitang couple, this Beiguo Xiao is an immortal who has been reborn after being killed？”
　　Thinking of this, Xu Taiping took a deep breath and then continued：
　　“And at this moment, is it the seal contention for his Seeking Return Seal？”
