”Since… when I came in, you have been planning this step？”
In the sky full of dust and sand, Shangjiu slowly raised his head and looked at Xu Taiping. His tone seemed a bit strenuous when he spoke.
”To be precise, it was since I knew you were Shangjiu.”
Xu Taiping clamped the Chunhu Saber under his arm and force wiped the blood on it.
”Oh？ It seems the old man has said a lot of bad things about me to you.”
Shangjiu smiled.
While speaking, he also took off the long shirt, folded it carefully like Xu Taiping and then put it into the Storage Ring.
”Elder Duan didn’t say anything bad about you.”
Xu Taiping shook his head, and then while winding the cloth of blood spider silk on his hand, he continued. “Throwing the remains of one’s own master and senior sister into the Yunmengze Ruins and letting them turn into ghost zombies. In my opinion, no matter how much precaution is taken against a person who can do such a thing, it is not excessive.”
Hearing this, Shang Jiu’s brow suddenly furrowed.
But immediately, his brow relaxed again, returning to his previous calm and composed appearance.
“Uncle Shang, let me help you.”
Just then, the little girl with pigtails ran over to Shang Jiu on her short legs, hugged his thigh, and peeked at Xu Taiping.
“Little Yuan, you stay here and wait. It won’t take long.”
Shang Jiu patted the little girl’s head.
Upon hearing this, the little girl glared at Xu Taiping, and then turned and left.
“I have to say, the old thing’s ability to judge people is as bad as ever.”
After taking off his upper garment, Shang Jiu also picked up a knife like Xu Taiping and looked at him with a faint smile in his eyes.
And as he spoke, the crisp sound of bones and muscles stretching could be heard in his body.
His seemingly slightly thin body began to stretch and bulge at a visible speed, and every bulging muscle was full of strength.
“As a saber cultivator, how could I not temper my body？”
Shang Jiu, whose figure had also increased by three feet, looked at Xu Taiping with a smile while shaking his arms.
Just a few simple arm-swinging movements emitted a series of explosive sounds, which was enough to show the strength of his physique.
“Back then, in order to practice the knife, I once trained for three hundred days in another wild secret realm without using the Walking Jiao Token and killed one hundred wild beasts.”
“So if you think that you can defeat me by competing in the way of a martial artist, you are very wrong.”
Shang Jiu pointed the knife at Xu Taiping.
At this moment, Xu Taiping was indeed a little surprised.
But that’s all.
Previously, the Knife Ghost’s words “arrogant and lawless” woke him up.
Since he picked up the knife and decided to determine the winner and loser, life and death, it doesn’t matter whether the one standing in front of him is a human, a ghost, a god or a demon.
“There is a place where you and I can have a competition.”
Xu Taiping picked up the knife, assumed the starting posture of the Crane’s Cry, and stared fixedly at Shang Jiu.
Seeing Xu Taiping’s reaction, Shang Jiu was also a little surprised.
He only felt that the other party seemed to have calculated his Martial Venerable Realm physique as well.
“Interesting.”
He muttered a sentence while slowly pacing around Xu Taiping, as if looking for an opportunity to make a move.
Without the Walking Jiao Token, every step the two took was actually very difficult.
So every time Shangjiu took a step, his muscles and bones would make a slight popping sound due to the pressure of the chaotic energy around his body.
“Ah…choo！”
Just at this moment, the little girl with pigtails stretched out her head and sniffed at a lotus flower. Accidentally, she was choked by the pollen and sneezed.
“Swish！”
Almost at the same time, Shangjiu stepped forward with one step, then twisted his waist, and the arm holding the knife suddenly swung, and with a “whoosh” sound, he slashed at Xu Taiping with a knife.
Compared with the previous gorgeous knife skills, this knife was really too simple.
But he exerted speed and strength, accuracy and ferocity to the extreme.
So much so that Xu Taiping, who was receiving the move, had no choice but to swing his knife to meet it.
“Swish！”
As he expected, Xu Taiping did not dodge, but swung his knife to meet it, and for the first time collided with his blade.
“Bang！”
In the midst of the violent collision sound, Shangjiu’s knife was shaken high by Xu Taiping.
In Shanghai’s eyes, there was followed an expression of astonishment.
Because he found that the power burst by Xu Taiping’s body was much higher than that of his Martial Venerable body.
“Whoosh！”
And after flicking away Shang Jiu’s saber, Xu Taiping forcefully retracted his saber with his own strength, then turned the blade of the Spring Tiger and suddenly slashed at Shang Jiu’s chest.
“Whoosh！”
At the critical moment, Shang Jiu’s figure suddenly leaned back, and then used the saber to support the ground, barely dodging Xu Taiping’s saber.
“Zheng！”
But what Shang Jiu didn’t expect was that Xu Taiping once again used his own strength to forcefully retract the saber, and at the same time moved his steps, raised his arm, and slashed down with the saber.
If this saber was slashed, Shang Jiu’s body would probably be divided into two with the navel as the middle boundary.
“Shua！”
However, Shang Jiu seemed to have anticipated that Xu Taiping would have this saber strike. He had already shrunk his body and barely dodged this saber.
“Peng” With a sound, Xu Taiping’s saber slashed on the ground, leaving a saber mark about one zhang long.
Although Shang Jiu finally dodged this saber, there was still a shallow wound on his waist and abdomen, and blood quickly seeped out from it.
“Actually trained a physique that exceeds the Martial Venerable Realm. No wonder you have the confidence to put down the Walking Jiao Order and fight me with the saber. I take back what I just said.”
Shang Jiu changed his evaluation of Xu Taiping.
