“There’s really a possibility of that.”
Liu Chuxuan suddenly felt his scalp tingle.
Because if he could really do this, wouldn’t Xu Taiping be able to copy down all the swordsmanship in the world with this set of swordsmanship？
“Huangque, go and investigate carefully later to see who taught him this swordsmanship.”
Liu Chuxuan said with a solemn expression.
Huang Que nodded.
Just at this moment, Xu Taiping, who had been hesitating at the intersection for a long time, finally made a move.
“Kid, follow the sword momentum of this plum garden path and go up the mountain.”
“With such exquisite swordsmanship, the Zou Jiao Token of the Ninth Mansion is specially prepared for you.”
The mansion master Liu Chuxuan murmured with a serious expression.
Huang Que beside him also nodded secretly.
“Boom！”
What surprised them was that Xu Taiping did not choose to follow the sword momentum and go up the mountain, but dissipated all the sword energy words on his body.
“What does he want to do？”
Huang Que was shocked.
Just as he was speaking, Xu Taiping in the bronze mirror suddenly used his sword to write the word “wonderful” in front of him with his own sword energy.
And when the sword energy roaring down from the mountain touched this word “wonderful”, it immediately exploded with a “boom”.
“He intends to break the sword intent on the mountain？！”
The mansion master Liu Chuxuan immediately saw Xu Taiping’s intention.
“No, with his current swordsmanship cultivation, it is impossible to break the sword intent left by that person.”
He then shook his head again and again.
And just as the mansion master Liu said, as soon as Xu Taiping walked to the side of the road, the word “wonderful” he wrote was broken by the sword momentum and sword energy aroused by the sword intent on the mountain.
“Zheng！”
However, at the moment when the word “wonderful” was broken Xu Taiping used his sword to write down nine more characters in succession, barely managing to withstand the sword momentum coming down from the mountain.
At the same time, he seized the little time he had gained and, with a “shua” sound, drew his knife and cut down another plum tree by the roadside.
“Boom！”
And just as he put the plum tree into the gourd, the Rust Lion Sword finally couldn’t withstand that surging sword qi, allowing that sword qi like a surging wave to wash past Xu Taiping’s front.
“Zheng！”
And with the sound of another sword cry, Xu Taiping lightly shouted：
“Open！”
As soon as the words fell, under his control, the Rust Lion used its own sword qi to write the character ” open “.
Immediately afterwards, only a “boom” was heard, and the surging sword qi that kept roaring and washing past Xu Taiping’s front was split in two with the appearance of this character ” open “, creating a path in the middle.
“Hoo…”
Xu Taiping let out a long sigh of relief.
Just at the moment when he was submerged by that sword qi, a long-forgotten fear of dying here suddenly rose in his heart.
He lowered his head and looked at his body.
I saw that the green Xuanzong disciple’s robe had been cut with many holes by the sword qi, and many wounds could be faintly seen inside.
“Bang！”
Just at this moment, the character ‘ open ‘ (open) written by the Rust Lion finally couldn’t withstand the continuous attacks of the sword qi above and exploded.
Xu Taiping thought for a moment, and then used the Rust Lion to write two more characters in succession——
“Wonderful, Open, Bright, Extinguish.”
These two characters didn’t have any special meaning. He just instinctively felt that the strokes of these two characters should be able to disassemble the strokes of the characters formed by the sword qi on the opposite side.
That’s right, in Xu Taiping’s eyes at this moment, the surging sword qi on the mountain was like one character after another.
What he had to do was to re-disassemble these characters into strokes.
“Boom！”
Amidst the huge tremor, the surging sword qi from the mountain burst apart after encountering these two characters.
However, the character ‘shattered’ (extinguish) among these two characters also shattered in the collision.
It seems that the character ‘extinguished’ is ineffective against the sword momentum on the mountain and was instead disassembled by the other side.”
While thinking like this, Xu Taiping walked to the right side of the road and once again raised his knife and chopped down a plum tree.
“Boom！”
Just at this moment, another strand of sword qi rushed towards him.
Xu Taiping looked up, tried hard to evolve that strand of sword qi into a character, and finally with a “clang” sound he flew out with the sword and used the character strokes he had practiced to re-disassemble it into individual strokes.
“Bang,” (bang), that strand of sword qi burst apart.
In the air, only the character “mountain” written by Rusty Lion was left.
”I seem to understand.”
Xu Taiping stared blankly at the character “mountain”, murmuring to himself.
”Regarding others’ sword moves as characters, disassembling and copying them is the way to break the moves.”
”Integrating one’s own sword moves into the characters, and then aiming the tip of the pen at the enemy when writing is the way to strike the sword.”
”If one writes a whole article in one go, one can accumulate intention, momentum, and qi, and finally integrate them into one sword when the article is finished.”
After successively disassembling the attacks of two waves of sword qi, Xu Taiping suddenly understood the profound meaning of what the Third Third Scholar had asked him to do day after day, which was to use the sword to engrave characters.
This swordsmanship without any specific moves actually contains the method to disassemble all the swordsmanship in the world.
”In that case, the several articles that the Third Third Scholar asked me to engrave, such as ‘The Six Oaths’, ‘The Veteran’s March’, and ‘Lament for the Ancient Battlefield’, couldn’t they all be transformed into one sword？”
The more Xu Taiping thought about it, the more frightened he became.
”Rumble！…”
Before Xu Taiping could think in detail, the sword qi above his head came galloping down again.
”I’ll ask the Third Third Scholar again when I have a chance when I go back.”
Dispelling distracting thoughts, Xu Taiping began to concentrate on dealing with the sword qi coming down from the mountain, and continued to chop down trees and go up the mountain at the same time.
If he didn’t chop down enough trees, he wouldn’t have the face to see the Third Third Scholar.
……
One hour later.
White Horse Inn.
Sparrowhawk stared at the bronze mirror without saying a word.
Prefect Liu Chuxuan also stared at the bronze mirror without saying a word.
Just look at what’s in that bronze mirror.
Xu Taiping, covered in blood, was holding a stone cauldron in one hand and a long knife in the other. A flying sword was suspended in front of him. Just like that, he stood on the platform at the last stretch of steps leading to the mountaintop, looking towards the mountaintop with a gaze as firm as ever.
And behind him, the mountain road that was originally full of flowers all the way was now completely bare.
Not a single plum tree was left.
Prefect, is it the swordsmanship that’s powerful, or is it this person, Xu Taiping？
After a long time, when seeing that Xu Taiping was about to get up and walk up that last stretch of steps, Sparrowhawk suddenly asked the prefect sitting opposite him.
