　　With a “bang”, the rusty lion sword was hit by those two sword qi, causing the Sword body to tremble and hum.
　　Xu Taiping was first stunned, and then he said with a look of sudden realization：
　　“That’s right, I can also use a sword.”
　　Immediately, he controlled the sword with his soul and urged the rusty lion to slash towards those several sword qi.
　　Just like before, although the sword qi was cut apart, it would immediately split into two again and attack Xu Taiping once more.
　　Perhaps it was because of the sudden appearance of the rusty lion.
　　The past events of Xu Taiping using the sword to engrave words over the years suddenly emerged in his mind, and then he instinctively imagined these sword qi in front of him as the strokes of characters.
　　In an instant, a bold idea suddenly popped up in Xu Taiping’s mind.
　　Immediately afterwards, he used the Rust Lion as a “pen” and the sword qi flying down from the mountain as “ink”, and began to control the sword to write in the air along the falling trend of each of these sword qi.
　　To Xu Taiping’s delight, these sword qi actually, under his control, turned into two simple and unsophisticated characters suspended in the air.
　　One character was “left”, and the other was “right”.
　　This also corresponded to the previous trajectories of these two sword qi.
　　One attacked Xu Taiping from the left side, and one from the right side.
　　……
　　Inside the White Foal Inn.
　　”How did he do this？”
Seeing Xu Taiping seal the sword qi with words, the Yellow Sparrow’s face showed an expression of incredulity, and he looked at the prefect Liu Chuxuan opposite in surprise.
This is an extremely brilliant swordsmanship.
　　Liu Chuxuan furrowed his brows, and then, while tracing the two characters on the bronze mirror with his fingers, he furrowed his brows and said：
“The essence of his swordsmanship is hidden within the strokes of these two characters. He used these strokes as a prison to confine the sword qi coming down from the mountain.
“Pop!” Before Liu Chuxuan could finish copying the character “left”, the half-written character blew up on its own.
　　Liu Chuxuan furrowed his brows.
　　“This swordsmanship seems simple, but in fact it is extremely profound and complex. There are particularities in the starting and ending of each stroke, and even the thickness of the strokes. If there is the slightest flaw, the character cannot be formed.”
　　As he said this, the look in his eyes when looking at Xu Taiping in the bronze mirror became more and more solemn.
　　“The person who taught him swordsmanship is not simple, and it’s not simple that he was able to learn it.”
　　Liu Chuxuan continued to say.
　　But immediately, his brows furrowed again.
　　Because he found that after sealing these several sword qi, Xu Taiping didn’t seize this opportunity to continue going up, but walked to the roadside and with a “shua” sound, chopped down another plum tree.
　　“Is your friend’s brain not so good? Why does he always have a problem with the plum trees on Yuhu Mountain?”
　　Liu Chuxuan looked up at Huangque with a depressed expression on his face.
　　Huangque　was　speechless.
　　He now deeply regrets boasting to the prefect about how familiar he was with Xu Taiping back then.
　　“However, this method can still be used for the time being. After reaching the ninety-ninth step, what flows down from the mountain will be a waterfall of sword qi, and it will no longer be as gentle as it is at this time. At that time, he will have to choose between going up the mountain and cutting down trees.”
　　Liu Chuxuan said with his hands crossed over his chest and his back leaning against the chair.
　　……
　　The　ninety-ninth　step.
　　“Rumble…”
　　Amid the sound like a waterfall, streaks of sword qi, like white clouds and mist, surged down the mountain path from the peak.
　　“Sword qi like a waterfall.”
　　Xu Taiping, who was looking up at this scene, had this term in his mind.
　　“Zheng！”
　　At this time, a sword cultivator disciple in front of him suddenly sacrificed his flying sword and split open the surging sword qi waterfall.
But in just an instant, the waterfall transformed by the sword qi swallowed him entirely and only a faint sword light could be seen still shining in the waterfall, supporting him as he moved forward with difficulty.
　　“Hong！”
　　At this time, the sword qi like a waterfall had also rushed in front of Xu Taiping.
　　“Zheng！”
The Rusty Lion Sword then flew out, and in just an instant, a wall composed of dense words appeared in front of Xu Taiping, blocking the sword qi like a waterfall.
　　But soon, Xu Taiping felt a sword intent somewhat similar to the Sea of Bitterness Sword Intent emerge from the sword qi like a waterfall.
　　Immediately afterwards, the originally fairly stable sword qi waterfall suddenly transformed into a tempestuous sea, surrounding and blocking Xu Taiping within.
　　“Zheng！ ……”
　　Amid the sound of the sword’s cry, the Rust Lion, using those sword qi as ink beside Xu Taiping, once again wrote rows and rows of dense characters, ultimately forming four walls to protect Xu Taiping within.
　　With these four walls composed of characters, the originally tyrannical sword qi instantly became calm, flowing past Xu Taiping’s side like wisps of smoke once again.
　　“Is it because it regards me as the same kind？”
　　Looking at those wisps of sword qi flowing slowly downward beside him like smoke, Xu Taiping secretly guessed in his heart.
The sword qi characters around his body were actually all written according to the sword qi flowing down from the mountain.
　　At this moment, it is no problem to say that he is integrated with the sword qi on the mountain.
　　“Boom！”
　　However, when Xu Taiping tried to walk towards the roadside, these originally very peaceful sword qi instantly became hideous, and once again rushed towards Xu Taiping in unison.
　　The originally condensed sword qi character wall also shattered in an instant.
　　“Whoosh……”
　　With great difficulty, Xu Taiping blocked these tyrannical sword qi with a new wall of sword qi characters.
So I have to follow the sword momentum of these sword qi on the mountain to continue moving forward. Any move that goes against the sword momentum on the mountain will be regarded as an enemy that needs to be eliminated.”
Looking at the sword energy, that had become smooth and flowing again beside him, Xu Taiping suddenly understood something.
　　“But if I want to chop down that plum tree, I won’t be able to do it along the momentum.”
　　He frowned and looked at the plum tree swaying in the wind by the roadside.
　　……
You see, I was right, wasn’t I? If you want to chop down the tree, you won’t be able to continue sealing the sword energy on the mountain with this method. and you can only go head-on against the sword energy on the mountain.
　　Inside the White Pony Inn, Prefect Liu Chuxuan crossed his arms and leaned back in the chair with a proud look on his face.
　　But this time, Huangque didn’t agree with Liu Chuxuan’s words. Instead, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, he looked at Liu Chuxuan and said：
“Prefect, his swordsmanship can turn the opponent’s sword intent. and sword momentum into visible words. Doesn’t that mean that the words around him at this moment are equivalent to Youdaoplaceholder0 down the sword on the plum garden path?
　　Upon hearing this, Liu Chuxuan, who was originally smiling and leaning on the chair, suddenly sat up straight.
