At the beginning, he thought that Xu Taiping’s ability to resist that sword qi was entirely due to that swordsmanship.
But by the time he reached the middle of the mountain, the sword intent left by that great sword cultivator was also getting stronger and stronger, the sword momentum it induced was getting fiercer and fiercer, and the sword qi was also getting purer and purer. The role that that swordsmanship could play gradually became very limited.
Xu Taiping simply had no way to think of a way to dismantle it under such a surging sword momentum. Several times he was nearly swallowed up by the sword qi and swept down the cliff.
Sparrowhawk still finds it hard to imagine that he was able to go against the sword momentum on the mountain road and come all the way here.
One can only say that the right swordsmanship has met the right person.
Prefecture Master Liu Chuxuan looked at the bronze mirror with a solemn expression.
“But for the next section of the road, if he continues to choose to go against the sword momentum in order to chop that plum blossom, I’m afraid it will be very difficult for him to rely on his physical body to endure it like before.”
He continued to say.
“What do you mean by that, Prefecture Master？”
The Yellow Sparrow was a bit. I don’t understand.
He had also walked this last section of the road and only felt that the sword momentum was a bit more ferocious, but there was nothing else special about it.
“If you had gone against the trend on this last section of the road, you would have discovered that that strand of sword intent would combine the sword momentum and sword energy of the entire mountain road into one and chop towards you.”
“This sword is equivalent to a sword strike personally made by that great sword immortal.”
Prefecture Master Liu Chuxuan furrowed his brows and said.
“The matter that there is a hidden sword on each of the roads leading to Jade Gourd Peak is actually true？”
The Yellow Sparrow was a bit surprised.
“Of course.”
Prefecture Master Liu Chuxuan nodded.
“Then what should we do now? We can’t just watch this kid die, can we?”
The Yellow Sparrow became a bit worried.
“Once he starts on the road, we can’t interfere. We can only let him seek more blessings on his own.”
Liu Chuxuan sighed.
……
“Huff！ ……”
On Jade Gourd Peak.
Xu Taiping, who was standing on the platform of the last section of steps, let out a long breath.
“There’s only the one at the intersection left.”
Xu Taiping rubbed his eyes, fixed his gaze on the plum tree at the intersection leading to the top of the mountain, and then stepped onto the steps without hesitation.
“Boom！”
As soon as his foot stepped on the steps, a sword momentum crashed down from the steps like a tsunami, accompanied by bursts of surging sword energy.
“Zheng！”
Just like before, the Rust Lion transformed into a sword light and flew out, stabbing towards the surging sword energy with a single sword.
“Boom！” Amid the loud noise, that burst of sword energy was pierced by the Rust Lion’s sword, leaving only more than a hundred incomplete characters.
After a series of practice, Xu Taiping’s skill of “splitting characters” has become much more proficient.
After the sword energy dissipated, Xu Taiping did not hesitate to fly up.
But as soon as he climbed five or six steps, an invisible sword momentum, like a big hand, pressed him tightly.
“Ka, ka, ka！”
Xu Taiping, who had long been prepared, immediately increased his physique from the Awakened Lion Realm to the Furious Lion Realm and forcefully resisted this sword momentum and climbed three steps.
“Weng weng weng…”
However, when he went up further, the Rust Lion in front of him that helped him resist the invasion of this sword energy was suddenly stopped and let out a series of vigilant trembling sounds.
Xu Taiping looked up.
He saw that the sky and clouds above his head suddenly converged into the shape of a sword, approaching him little by little with a dazzling brilliance.
Along with it came a sword intent that looked down upon the Western Sea, and a sword momentum as heavy as a mountain.
”Pa！”
The foot that Xu Taiping had just raised was forced back down by that sword momentum.
At the same time, an indescribable terrifying aura spread out from the long sword transformed by the light and shadow.
He could feel that this sword really wanted to suppress and kill him in this place.
Xu Taiping instinctively thought of using the Demon-Slaying Saber, but at this time, Rusty Lion flew directly from in front of him and blocked in front of him once again.
“Oh right, San San Jushi, it seems he also asked me to ring the sword.”
Looking at Rusty Lion blocking in front of him, Xu Taiping suddenly remembered San San Jushi’s entrustment.
“Now is indeed the last opportunity to ring the sword, but if it doesn’t go well, I might really die.”
Xu Taiping smiled bitterly.
But soon he made a decision again.
Ever since he started cultivating with an ordinary bone body with the help of Sister Lingyue, he has already understood that if he wants to take a further step on the path of cultivation, he can only fight for it.
What to fight with? Of course, it is his life that doesn’t seem to be worth much.
“The Third Three Hermit gave me such a good sword and such a good opportunity to sound the sword. How could I have the face to let it down like this?
He, who had chopped down plum trees all the way, had already guessed the true intention of San San Ju Shi for asking him to chop down trees.
With such thoughts in mind, Xu Taiping raised his hand and two fingers together.
“Zheng！”
Amid the sword’s chirping sound, he made his spiritual sense resonate with the Rusty Lion in front of him.
The so-called resonance, according to the words of San San Ju Shi, actually means completely sinking one’s mind into the sword. If the state is good, one can even achieve the unity of man and sword.
The sword above his head, as if sensing Xu Taiping’s determination, also let out a sword chirp, and then the long sword whistled down with a rumbling sound of breaking through the air.
Just at this moment, while urging the Rusty Lion, Xu Taiping murmured:
“When I was fifteen or twenty years old, I walked and snatched a Hu horse to ride.”
This was a poem that San San Ju Shi had asked him to copy countless times, and it was also his favorite one.
At the same time, he also found out today that this poem was actually a sword move.
Amid the chanting sound, the Rusty Lion “Zheng” flew out towards the long sword transformed by the light and shadow.
At the same time, almost in an instant, words transformed by sword qi were scattered all over the sky——
“Shoot and kill the white-fronted tiger in the mountains, and would I count the yellow-bearded son in Ye City！”
“Fight alone for three thousand li, and one sword has once blocked a million troops.”
“The Han soldiers are as fast as thunderbolts, and the enemy cavalry are afraid of the caltrops.”
“Wei Qing’s invincibility is due to good fortune, while Li Guang’s failure is because of bad luck.”
……
“Boom！” The moment the last word appeared, the Rust Lion crashed through the words that filled the sky, like a fierce horse galloping out on the battlefield. It was slashed by the old general, who was already old but still full of fighting spirit, with a sword towards the long sword formed by the light and shadow above his head.”
In an instant, the sword’s cry rose like a dragon’s roar through the sky.
The awe-inspiring sword power, as if the wrath of the heavens, poured down.
“Bang！”
With a huge shock, the long sword formed by the light and shadow above the head was chopped off by the Rust Lion’s sword.
But the Rust Lion didn’t seem to have had enough.
It roared and growled, its head rushed out into the sky, broke through the thick clouds above its head, and its head directly chopped on the barrier of the Jade Gourd Cave Heaven.
“Bang！”
The entire Jade Gourd Cave Heaven trembled.
And on the barrier of the Jade Gourd Cave Heaven, there was even a sword mark like a crack left.
……
At the foot of Jade Gourd Peak.
A white-clothed youth looked at the sword mark in the sky above his head, and then raised the corner of his mouth and said：
“Teacher, you asked him to chop down the plum tree I planted. Are you asking him to challenge me to a sword fight？”
After saying this, he turned his head and looked at a black-clothed youth beside him and said：
“Want to worship me as a teacher？”
The young man in black excitedly nodded vigorously.
“I can teach you all my swordsmanship, but in the next Sword-Questioning Qingxuan Grand Competition, you must defeat Xu Taiping. If you lose, I will send you to the Nine Abysses.”
The young man in white said coldly to the young man in black.
“Disciple will never lose！”
The young man in black nodded vigorously and said.
This young man in black was none other than Ye Xuan, a disciple of the First Peak.
Rumble…
Just then, the sky above the Jade Gourd Cave suddenly became overcast with dense clouds, and an extremely powerful aura suddenly swept through the entire Immortal Gourd Cave like a wind.
Then an old voice sounded in the air： “Come out, Su Chan. You can’t hide for long！”
