　　Half a stick of incense ago.
　　On the Golden Scale Platform.
　　Xu Taiping’s words “Please give me another punch, Brother Zhou” were undoubtedly a provocation in Zhou Yuanqing’s eyes.
　　“Boom！”
　　So as soon as these words came out, Zhou Yuanqing’s face turned cold and he punched down heavily.
Even if Zhou Yuanqing didn’t use all his strength in this blow, he at least used seven or eight-tenths. The physique of the peak Martial Saint realm, the seven or eight-tenths true essence fully urged, plus the already decent boxing technique made the sound of air explosions continuous when this punch was thrown, and the power was far greater than the previous punch.
　　And this time, Xu Taiping still didn’t dodge, but used the Mountain-Bearing Style to block.
　　But at this moment, he had completely regarded himself as a warrior who couldn’t use true essence, just like the time when he fought the changgui in Green Bamboo Residence.
　　The result can be imagined.
　　“Bang！”
　　Amid the huge crashing sound, Xu Taiping’s body was once again sent rolling and retreating continuously by the enormous force in Zhou Yuanqing’s fist.
　　The only progress was that this time, because he used the Dan Shan Style, he successfully diverted the force of Zhou Yuanqing’s fist to the Golden Scale Platform beneath his feet, preventing him from being sent flying off the ground by that force like he was with the first punch.
　　However, the onlookers couldn’t feel this.
　　They only saw Xu Taiping, once again in a sorry state, falling beneath Zhou Yuanqing’s fist.
　　So the sounds of surprise and confusion from the Western Zhou began to become more and more numerous and louder.
Some felt that Zhou Yuanqing had a spell that could restrain Xu Taiping.
Some felt that Xu Taiping was just a, and his victory over Ye Feiyu in the previous match was just a fluke.
There were also those who felt that Xu Taiping and Zhou Yuanqing had made some sort of deal behind the scenes, and they were even preparing to raise an objection to the Youyun Mansion after the competition.
　　The same thought occurred to Mu Yuchen of the Jue Ming Tian.
　　Brother, is this Xu Taiping deliberately losing to Zhou Yuanqing？ He wasn’t this weak in the previous match！
　　Mu Yuchen said with a hint of anger.
She had always been preoccupied with about Xu Taiping’s victory over Mu Yun and now that she saw that Xu Taiping might have a secret deal with that Zhou Yuanqing, she naturally felt unhappy in her heart.
　　“If one doesn’t admit defeat willingly, their Qi Luck will be devoured by the Golden Scale List. So privately, it has been explained that the noble families and sects will never step onto the stage to compete, but choose to withdraw from the competition before the start.”
　　Mu Yun shook his head.
　　This point was mentioned in the precepts read out by the white-clothed deacon before each match.
　　Mu Yuchen naturally knew this, but just couldn’t get over it in her heart.
　　“Moreover, before the competition, I secretly investigated. There is no intersection between Zhou Yuanqing and Xu Taiping. Even their respective subordinates and people around them have never had any contact.”
　　Mu Yun added with a tightly furrowed brow at this time.
　　“Then could it be that this Zhou Yuanqing really has some means that we can’t see through but can suppress his opponents？”
　　Mu Yuchen’s expression also became solemn at this time.
　　“It’s hard to say. If there is really something abnormal, the Golden Scale List will directly kick the two of them off the Golden Scale Platform. That they can still stand on the stage indicates that they haven’t violated the precepts of the Golden Scale List.”
　　Mu Yun crossed his fingers and made a fist, gently supporting his chin, and stared intently at the Golden Scale Platform below without blinking.
　　……
　　True Martial Heaven, Youxuan Residence.
　　The fellow disciples of the seven peaks also raised the same question at this time.
　　“Xu Taiping couldn’t have made a deal with Zhou Yuanqing regarding the Golden Scale Meeting. There must be some other reason.”
　　When everyone was talking about it, Lin Buyu was extremely certain.
　　After hearing her say this, everyone nodded one after another. After all, no one knew Xu Taiping’s character better than them.
　　“Second junior brother, which sect did you just say Zhou Yuanqing is from？”
　　Jiang Zhi suddenly thought of something and turned her head to look at Du Gu Qingxiao.
　　“Mysterious　Saber　Sect.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao replied.
　　“Mysterious Saber Sect? Why do I feel more and more familiar with this name? Wait, I remember.”
　　Jiang Zhi, who was rubbing the center of her brows with her fingers, suddenly raised her head, and then looked at everyone with wide eyes and said, “Second junior brother, do you remember？ Seven years ago, Huang Que once told us that before Taiping left True Martial Heaven, he had helped Heavenly Saber Sect repel two cultivators from Nether Cloud Heaven.”
　　“Remember, I still remember that Huang Que said that the ones who attacked Heavenly Saber Sect were a pair of siblings, and the elder sister was from the Mysterious Saber Sect of Nether Cloud Heaven！”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao suddenly woke up.
　　“Not only that, the elder sister from the Mysterious Saber Sect also kidnapped the daughter of the head of Heavenly Saber Sect, Duan Xiaoyu, when she fled.”
　　Jiang Zhi then said with a solemn expression.
　　At that time, Azure Profound Sect was just starting to recover, and everyone had things to do. Even she only found out about this matter through Huang Que after Xu Taiping left True Martial Heaven.
　　“Could it be that the Mysterious Saber Sect is threatening Taiping with Duan Xiaoyu？”
　　Zhao Linglong, who was straightforward, immediately said the guess in her heart.
　　”I’ll ask Huang Que.”
　　Du Gu Qingxiao immediately took out the communication jade slip and contacted Huang Que of the Nine Mansions.
　　……
　　The audience was talking a lot.
　　The competition on the field continued.
　　”Bang！”
　　Zhou Yuanqing punched open Xu Taiping’s fist stance, and then kicked heavily on Xu Taiping’s abdomen, kicking his whole body three feet off the ground, and then smashing heavily to the ground.
　　When Xu Taiping’s body landed, he then chopped down heavily with a kick.
　　However, Xu Taiping reacted in time and dodged this kick with a roll.
　　But before he could stand up, Zhou Yuanqing’s fist slammed into Xu Taiping again.
　　”Bang！”
　　This time, Xu Taiping timely put on the stance of the Shoulder Pole Style and blocked this punch.
　　Although the skin and flesh on the arm were split, he successfully used the Shoulder Pole Style to unload at least four-tenths of the force of this punch to his feet, and finally only staggered back a few zhang.
　　”Sure enough, my boxing technique is not perfect！”
　　Although bruised all over, Xu Taiping’s eyes were extremely bright, and he had completely forgotten that this was an extremely unfair duel.
