”Ka, ka, ka！…”
While Demon Venerable Heimu was speaking, the lake surface under the single-plank bridge once again began to freeze and ice over.
A wave of aura full of icy coldness swept across the entire lake surface.
This aura fluctuation naturally came from that Demon Venerable Heimu.
Unlike the powerful might brought by ordinary aura fluctuations, the aura fluctuation of this Demon Venerable Heimu only gave people the feeling of coldness.
It was so cold that people felt that their bones and even their souls were about to be frozen.
”Bang！”
Just as this wave of aura wanted to pass through the single-plank bridge, it was intercepted by the Demon-Slaying Saber Qi spreading out from Xu Taiping’s body.
The moment the two forces confronted each other, an ice wall slowly rose along the center line of the small river, dividing the small river below the single-plank bridge into two parts.
For a while, on both sides of the riverbank, one side was ice and snow, and the other side was green grass.
The two scenes formed a sharp contrast.
After seeing this scene, Huineng and Huizhun were once again full of surprise in their eyes.
Although they are not warrior monks, they still have eyesight. At least they can see that in terms of the strength of the breath, the Heavenly Protector in front of them is not inferior to the Blackwood Demon Venerable.
You know, several highly skilled warrior monks and dharma monks in their temple died at the hands of this Blackwood Demon Venerable.
However, at this time, Xu Taiping was not as relaxed as they imagined.
Even with the protection of the Asura Armor, at this moment, he could still feel the oppressive force coming from the Blackwood Demon Venerable.
The whole person seemed to be standing on the edge of a cliff, and with a slight carelessness, he would be smashed to pieces.
“The Demon Venerables in Youyun Heaven are stronger than those in True Martial Heaven, at least stronger than those who were killed by the master with a single sword that day.”
Xu Taiping was very certain in his heart.
“Sister Lingyue, approximately what percentage of the power of the Asura Armor is being used now？”
Xu Taiping held the knife, staring fixedly at the fuzzy figure behind the ice wall and at the same time asked Fairy Lingyue in his heart.
“Fifty percent.”
Fairy Lingyue replied.
“I suggest you increase it by one more level. That way, the risk will be a little smaller.”
She then added another sentence.
“It’s okay. The additional risk of one level now will mean one level less risk when facing the Heavenly Wolf Demon Lord later.”
Xu Taiping responded in his heart and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
This smile was very much like those of the old gamblers that Fairy Lingyue had seen before. However, she didn’t continue to persuade and just softly responded with a voice：
“Alright, listen to you.”
Just at this moment, the whistling cold wind that had been constantly colliding with Xu Taiping’s saber energy suddenly all stopped, leaving only the creaking sound made by the Demon Lord’s footsteps on the wooden bridge.
Listening to this sound, Xu Taiping lowered his body even more. While tightly gripping the handle of the Broken Water Saber, his eyes were like those of a goshawk closely stared at the prey, not blinking as he gazed at the front.
“Crack！”
Just at this moment, the ice wall in the middle of the wooden bridge finally suddenly cracked under the collision of the two auras.
“Zheng！ ……”
Almost at the moment when the ice wall cracked, accompanied by the sound of a saber cry, the Blackwood Demon Lord suddenly drew his saber and slashed out.
It was also the Dark Nether Saber, but when used by the Blackwood Demon Lord, its power had increased by no less than ten times？
The moment the black wood evil spirit drew the knife from its sheath, the cold breath with the roar of a fierce beast, like a mighty army on the march, charged towards Xu Taiping with a momentum that could topple cities and mountains.
At this moment, Xu Taiping, standing on the single-plank bridge, seemed to be facing not a person, not a knife, but a snowstorm that could almost freeze a city.
Even more terrifying was that when you looked closely, you could see that what composed this snowstorm was not flakes of snowflakes but one after another long knife-shaped ice blades.
If this knife could not be blocked, not only Xu Taiping, but also the mountain gate of Pilu Temple behind him might be blasted to pieces by this first strike.
It could be seen that Xu Taiping had killed two of the black wood’s subordinates in a row, which made it truly angry.
However, Xu Taiping did not disrupt the rhythm of his knife attack because of this.
“Ceng！ ……”
Still at the moment when the opponent chopped out the knife, Xu Taiping then drew the knife from its sheath and used the Mingchan Style.
“Boom！”
The moment Duanshui was drawn from its sheath, the unique knife power of the Mingchan Style was like two huge and powerful palms firmly resisting the knife that was like a snowstorm.
This time, Xu Taiping did not hold back at all when borrowing the momentum, and for the first time borrowed the momentum of the entire world of Pilu Temple behind him.
Therefore, even as powerful as the Blackwood Demon Venerable, he was also held in place for at least an instant by this sudden and strange saber momentum.
It’s not that he couldn’t break free, but rather that Xu Taiping’s suddenly strengthened saber momentum prevented him from being able to prepare in advance.
“Zhī！——”
It was this instant that the ear-piercing cicada chirping sounded again in front of Pilu Temple.
At the same time, hundreds of saber shadows were first chopped out in an instant, and then quickly merged as the long saber in Xu Taiping’s hand was chopped out.
This time, Xu Taiping also did not hold back. At the moment of swinging the saber and chopping down, he merged a full sixty saber shadows.
“Shuā！ ”
The moment the Broken Water Saber chopped down, a snow-white saber mark tore apart the blizzard that almost enveloped this piece of heaven and earth.
“Hōng！ ”
The next moment the saber mark appeared, the majestic saber energy passed through the body of the Blackwood Demon Venerable.
The saber energy that flew out even leveled a forest behind him.
At the beginning, the Blackwood Demon Venerable was more surprised by Xu Taiping’s saber strike. After all, it had been a long time since a human cultivator had been able to injure his body of the Demon Venerable.
“Kā chā！ ……”
But as a clear sound of breaking rang out, the surprise on his face suddenly turned into fear.
He looked down following the sound of shattering and found that there was actually a crack on the blade of the Demon King Weapon Dark Nether Saber in his hand.
And this crack was still spreading continuously until finally with a “bang”, the long saber suddenly shattered.
”Bang！ …”
The moment the Dark Nether Saber shattered, the demonic energy of the Blackwood Demon Venerable suddenly exploded and dissipated, and black blood also spurted out from the shocking wound on his chest.
