　　Since　the　beginning.
　　Regarding the Hidden Sword Technique.
　　There have always been two confusions in Xu Taiping’s heart——
　　“What is the use of hiding the sword？”
　　”How to draw the sword？”
　　If a sword can’t defend oneself, can’t cut down the enemy, and can’t show its might, then what’s the use of it？
　　If you completely forget a sword, how should you draw it out？
　　At this moment, after recalling Ninth Uncle’s words again, Xu Taiping finally understood.
　　This sword that Ninth Uncle gave him.
　　It’s not used to cut down the enemy, not used to show its might.
　　It’s to protect his dignity and guard his Dao heart.
　　With　this　sword.
　　Even if the Demon God of the Nine Abysses wakes up, making the mountains and rivers overturn, making the gods and Buddhas perish, making the Heavenly Dao collapse, and making him kneel on the ground.
　　He dares not to kneel！
　　With　this　sword.
　　When he faces injustice, when his relatives are humiliated, when his home and country are broken, and when all living beings fall into the sea of bitterness.
　　He dares to stand up and resist, he dares to kill the enemy with his own hands, he dares to fight in blood with his armor on, and he dares to lead all living beings out of the sea of bitterness！
　　As for how to draw the sword after you completely forget this sword.
　　A pair of broken fists, a body full of holes, and a withered loyal heart.
　　Of course, the most important thing is still a reason to fight even if you die.
　　”Thank you, Ninth Uncle.”
　　”Thank　you,　Master.”
　　”This is the kind of sword I want.”
　　Xu Taiping’s mouth moved slightly, and he muttered something in his mouth. Then he turned his head and looked at the dome of the Golden Scale Pool, and a smile appeared on his lips as he continued to say：
　　“Thanks to this sword, I can fight for Senior Sister Qifeng Linglong, Senior Brother Qingxiao, for this Qingxuan, and for you, Master.”
　　After saying this, he turned his head and looked up at the Third Prince Chu Yinan who was hidden in the sword shadows and celestial light again.
　　At the same time, the hand with which he was pinching the sword finger trembled and was raised a little higher.
　　“Zheng！ ……”
　　Amid the shrill sword chirping sound, the sword energy around Xu Taiping once again expanded several times, surging mightily towards the sky.
　　“Bang！”
　　In the midst of the huge collision sound, the sword momentum of Xu Taiping, which was originally about to be suppressed by the Tianying Sword, suddenly soared, once again pushing back the sky full of sword lights and shadows.
　　Looking from a distance.
　　The sword energy around Xu Taiping’s body was like a golden pillar, desperately supporting the sky and earth that was about to collapse.
　　“The sword in the heart has been drawn, and it’s time for the sword in the sheath to come out.”
The chapped corners of Xu Taiping’s mouth moved again, and then he gently patted the iron gourd on his waist with his other hand, and then said loudly with the strength he had managed to save up:
　　“Rusty　Lion！　……
　　“Zheng！
　　As soon as the words fell, the iron gourd at his waist trembled violently, and a sword chirping sound like a lion’s roar suddenly rang out.
　　At the same time, a terrifying oppressive aura spread out from Xu Taiping on the Golden Scale Platform.
　　This aura was like that of a sleeping ancient fierce beast that suddenly woke up.
　　“Boom！”
　　Immediately, with a sudden explosion of the sound of breaking through the air carrying the tremor of gold and stone, a ray of sword light flew out from the iron gourd at Xu Taiping’s waist and finally stopped in front of Xu Taiping.
　　This sword light was exactly the flying sword given to Xu Taiping by Ninth Uncle – Rusty Lion.
　　However, at this time, the Rusty Lion was still covered in rust and looked like a piece of scrap iron.
　　“Old friend, how about we write that article you like the most today？”
　　Xu Taiping reached out and held the rusty Rusty Lion.
　　Rusty Lion then let out a series of cheerful tremor sounds.
　　It seemed to like Xu Taiping’s proposal very much.
And the moment Xu Taiping held Rusty Lion, the rust on Rusty Lion began to peel off continuously at a visible speed, Youdaoplaceholder0 the smooth sword body and also “revealing” the majestic and upright qi hidden within the sword.
　　“Boom！”
　　As this mighty qi soared into the sky.
　　The sword in Xu Taiping’s heart merged into one with the sword in the sheath.
　　At this moment, he himself was like a sword erected on the Golden Scale Platform, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the sky light and sword shadows above his head.
　　“Bang！”
　　Amid the explosive sound of the collision of sword qi, the part of the sky light and sword shadows that were originally pouring down like sunlight, where the tip of Xu Taiping’s sword pointed, actually separated automatically.
　　Just like a river encountering a high mountain, it had to be divided into two.
Seeing this scene, the stands around the Golden Scale Pool once again bursts of exclamations.
　　“Brother Taiping, you’re really being too much of an outsider. That day at Tianhai Pass, you actually hid such a good sword and didn’t use it.”
　　Even Zhang Tianze’s eyes lit up at this time, no longer in the lazy state as before.
“Amitabha, that day at Pilu Temple, benefactor Taiping also didn’t draw this sword.”
　　The abbot of Pilu Temple was also very surprised.
　　Not only him, even the Seventh Princess Chu Tiancheng and the others were all very surprised.
　　Surprised as to why Xu Taiping didn’t draw his sword earlier and waited until now.
　　Among the crowd, only the little master aunt Lu Rushuang’s expression was not one of doubt but excitement.
　　“That’s right, this is senior brother’s sword！”
　　“This is also the sword that senior brother has been looking for！”
　　Lu Rushuang murmured in a daze.
　　Until now, she still often recalls the scenes when Senior Brother Jian Jiu talked about this set of swordsmanship.
　　“Little junior sister, the sword your senior brother is looking for is a sword that makes cultivators hold it, not kneel when encountering evil people, not kneel when encountering demons and monsters, not kneel when encountering gods and Buddhas, dare to fight when encountering injustice, dare to fight when encountering inequality, and dare to fight when encountering the way of heaven！”
　　Recalling Senior Brother Jian Jiu’s words and looking at Xu Taiping’s figure with the sword pointing at the sky.
　　Lu Rushuang suddenly burst into tears.
　　She, who recognized the rusty lion and Xu Taiping’s swordsmanship, understood better than anyone what kind of belief Xu Taiping was holding when he drew the sword at this moment.
　　“Taiping, ring the sword and let the cultivators in these five directions see.”
　　“Even if limited by the way of heaven, our True Martial Heaven and our Qingxuan Sect still have the sharpest sword in these five directions！”
Lu Rushuang suddenly stood up a little lose composure ly.
　　“Zheng！”
　　Just at this time, as Xu Taiping, who was holding the sword, gently shook his wrist, a sword cry with a noble and upright meaning, like the chanting sound of an ancient immortal, resounded through the Golden Scale Pool.
Immediately, a line of simple and unsophisticated words appeared in the sky above the Golden Scale Platform along with the Youdaoplaceholder0 sword tip of Xu Taiping —
　　“The drumbeat fades, strength is exhausted; the arrows are spent, the bowstrings snap; the sharp blades clash, the precious swords break; the two armies press together, life and death is decided.”
