Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping’s brows furrowed slightly.
Destroying the hand that Shang Jiu used to hold the saber was the most important part of his plan. Now that the plan has failed, the difficulty of him defeating the opponent will inevitably increase.
”Then I can only believe in the saber in my hand.”
He tightly gripped the Chunhu Knife in his hand.
And Chunhu Twenty-One, as if in response to him, let out a “buzzing” tremor sound.
”Click！”
Just at this moment, the Buddhist bead on Xu Taiping’s wrist suddenly shattered.
The time of equality for all beings that he exchanged with one month of taste finally ended.
Shang Jiu also clearly noticed this, but he didn’t, like before, take this opportunity to immediately attack Xu Taiping. Instead, he asked with great interest：
”Your power of equality for all beings was obtained at some cost, right？”
Xu Taiping just took a look at Shang Jiu and didn’t answer.
At the same time, another Buddhist bead appeared on his wrist.
The power of equality for all beings that had just been lifted suddenly returned.
This time, Xu Taiping obtained the power of equality for all beings by exchanging his sense of touch.
After losing his sense of touch, he couldn’t even feel the existence of the knife in his hand.
Fortunately, for him, gripping the knife and drawing the knife had become instincts of his body and didn’t need to be felt at all.
”Is it worth doing this？ For cultivators, in this long lifespan, you will encounter countless people and you can’t save them all.”
Shang Jiu held the knife, pacing and probing while looking at Xu Taiping and said.
”Is this what you did, Elder Shang？”
Xu Taiping asked while assuming the posture of drawing the knife.
“That’s right. Ever since I embarked on the path of cultivation, I have no longer bothered with anything that hinders my cultivation.”
Shang Jiu said with a smile.
As he spoke, the saber intent on his body gradually began to become sharp.
“Then, Senior Shang, you must have a lot of regrets in your life, right？”
Hearing this, Xu Taiping thought for a while and then asked curiously.
When he heard the word “regrets”, the expression on Shang Jiu’s face suddenly turned cold, and he stared fixedly at Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping’s gaze did not dodge, and he looked at him without humility or arrogance.
“The old man once said that his saber emphasizes intent rather than method. This intent is willpower, perseverance, and also spirit. Since you are the inheritor of his saber technique, you can be regarded as my half-disciple. Today, let your senior brother test you and see if you are qualified to inherit the old man’s saber technique.”
When he said this, Shang Jiu’s figure flashed, and then with a “clang” sound, he drew his saber and slashed at Xu Taiping.
This time, his saber had no fancy moves, but was open and aboveboard, clearly intending to fight Xu Taiping in a saber duel.
“Clang！”
Xu Taiping did not hesitate and drew his saber to meet it.
With a “bang”, the two sabers collided and then bounced off.
However, at the moment of bouncing off, Xu Taiping only felt a force rush into his arm and body through the Chunhu Saber in his hand.
Obviously, this Shang Jiu also used a power similar to the Thousand-fold Force in his knife.
Xu Taiping immediately understood the intention of Shang Jiu’s words just now.
“Just what I want！”
He snorted coldly, and then slashed at that Shang Jiu with a knife.
In this knife, he used the Ninety-nine-fold Thousand-fold Force.
“Bang！”
Amid the sound of the two knives colliding, the arm of that Shang Jiu visibly trembled, and even a crack appeared on the skin, and blood seeped out from it followed .
“Little junior brother, the knife isn’t heavy enough！”
Shang Jiu suddenly laughed excitedly, and then the long knife in his hand once again “swished” and chopped down towards Xu Taiping.
“Bang！”
This time, both of them obviously used all their strength, because at the moment when the two knives collided, a blood mist exploded from both of them simultaneously.
It could be seen that the skin on the arms of both of them was cracked by their respective hidden forces.
“Not enough, not enough, not enough！”
Shang Jiu suddenly became even more excited, and even a hint of youthful spirit appeared in his old eyes. He roared and shouted slashing at Xu Taiping one knife after another.
Just like before, Xu Taiping blocked every knife of Shang Jiu.
However, the difference was that both of them used hidden forces when they made their moves, and at the same time, they no longer thought about the routine and moves of their knife strikes like before.
It was just a simple matter of swinging the knife and hacking at each other.
“Bang！”
I don’t know how many blows they exchanged, but both of them were simultaneously sent flying by each other’s hidden strength and fell heavily to the ground.
At this time, the ground was covered with the blood of the two of them, and the yellowish-brown ground was almost dyed red.
But even so, the two of them still stood up at the same time.
At this time, there was hardly a single intact place on their bodies, and every inch of their skin was torn and bleeding.
It wasn’t just the skin and flesh, their muscles, bones, and internal organs had also suffered severe injuries. Just a slight movement of their bodies would cause them to vomit blood profusely.
Comparatively speaking, Xu Taiping was even worse off. Although his physical body was stronger than Shang Jiu’s, Shang Jiu was after all a Divine Refinement Realm cultivator, and his body’s recovery speed was much faster than Xu Taiping’s.
After standing up, the two of them tacitly walked up to each other and tacitly raised the knives in their hands.
“Shua！”
Without any hesitation, the two of them simultaneously slashed out with their knives.
With a “bang” sound, a blood mist exploded around the two of them, and then they both staggered back a few steps.
In the distance, saw this scene with her hands bound. While cold sweat dripped from her forehead she cursed loudly in her mouth and said:
“How could this young miss be so unlucky as to encounter two lunatics at once！”
Just as she was speaking, she felt her body relax, and her suppressed cultivation base was restored accordingly.
“That kid’s All Beings Equal Power has been lifted.”
The female demon Su Su’s heart was filled with joy.
However, immediately, accompanied by a faint Buddhist chant, that power of equality among all beings manifested again, and her body was once again under the heavy pressure of the chaotic energy.
“You two lunatics are fighting, and this young lady is also suffering！”
The female demon Su Su, who was almost pressed until her eyes rolled back and fainted, cursed loudly.
……
The line of sight returned to the two people again.
“Just now, did you use your eyes to obtain this power of equality among all beings？”
Shang Jiu walked up to Xu Taiping with a knife in his hand. While raising the knife, he asked curiously.
“As you can see.”
Xu Taiping nodded and also raised the knife in his hand.
“You don’t have eyes anymore, admit defeat.”
Shang Jiu smiled.
“Without eyes, I can see more clearly.”
After Xu Taiping finished speaking, with a “swish” sound, he chopped out another knife.
As he said, although he didn’t have eyes, he still accurately chopped towards Shang Jiu.
“Bang！”
The two knives collided again, and the two of them staggered back at the same time.
However, when Xu Taiping wanted to raise the knife again, the Chunhu Twenty-One in his hand broke with a “click” sound.
Xu Taiping was stunned there.
“Now, you don’t even have a knife. Are you still not willing to admit defeat？”
Shang Jiu looked at Xu Taiping with a smile.
“Phew…”
Xu Taiping let out a difficult breath, then threw down the handle of the knife and took a step forward to the front of Shang Jiu again.
”I can’t.”
As he said this, he made a knife-holding gesture and slowly raised his hand.
