　　“Xu Taiping, you are indeed here in the courtyard！”
　　The woman named Zhu Xuejian also noticed Xu Taiping who was still standing on the steps of the main room at this time, and excitement immediately lit up in her beautiful eyes.
　　Upon hearing this, Xu Taiping didn’t answer, but just looked at Zhu Xuejian expressionlessly for a moment, and then lowered his head and looked at Ping’an who was being pointed at by the flying sword with full concern and said：
　　“Ping’an, are you okay？”
　　“I’m fine, big brother！”
　　Ping’an turned his head and grinned at Xu Taiping upon hearing this.
　　Xu Taiping heaved a sigh of relief, and then smiled at Ping’an and said：
　　”Ping’an, you help me see the guest out.”
　　Upon hearing this, Ping’an’s face first lit up with joy, but then he hesitated and said：
　　”Brother, what if I hurt her？”
　　Zhu Xuejian, who had been a bit confused at the door, finally understood and immediately sneered：
　　”Xu Taiping, I came to ask you for a sword fight. If you don’t dare to accept, just admit defeat openly. What do you mean by using your spirit pet to fob off this girl？”
　　Xu Taiping seemed to act as if Zhu Xuejian didn’t exist. He didn’t even look at her and instead seriously replied to Ping’an：
　　”She smashed our door and also hurt you. Even if you killed her, I would never blame you.”
　　When saying this, a hint of imperceptible killing intent emerged on Xu Taiping’s expression.
　　Perhaps due to the reason of years of training in the west, although this killing intent was not strong, the deterrent force within it was sufficient to make ordinary cultivators couldn’t help but feel a throb in their hearts.
　　Just like Zhu Xuejian at this moment.
　　After hearing Xu Taiping’s words, she couldn’t help but take a step back, and the flying sword she was controlling buzzed and flew back to her with a whoosh.
　　But even so, she still looked at Ping’an with a look of contempt and said：
　　”Since you’ve said so, then don’t blame this girl for being ruthless with the sword later！”
　　And upon hearing Xu Taiping’s promise, Ping’an’s eyes immediately lit up, and he excitedly cupped his hands towards Zhu Xuejian and said：
　　“Sister Xuejian, please enlighten me！”
　　Under the teachings of Xu Taiping and Fairy Lingyue, Ping’an is much more polite than Bai Yu.
　　“This young lady has no mood to guide you, a beast！”
　　The more Zhu Xuejian thought about it, the angrier she became. Immediately, she pointed her sword and flicked it, urging the flying sword in front of her to stab towards Ping’an like a bolt of lightning.
　　“Bang！”
　　But to Zhu Xuejian’s surprise, Ping’an just crossed his hands in front of his chest, and a layer of gray halo condensed by spiritual power emerged around his body, completely blocking her flying sword.
This was precisely the wu tu Gang Qi after the Yuanmo Gong was cultivated to great perfection. It was very hard and comparable to a spiritual armor.
　　“Whoosh！”
At this time, seeing that the flying sword couldn’t break through Ping’an’s Gang Qi Zhu Xuejian became a bit angry and quickly pinched the formula. Then she made the flying sword split into three and fly towards Ping’an from three different directions.
Even the most powerful protective Gang Qi couldn’t protect all parts of the body at the same time. So Zhu Xuejian planned to use these three swords, some real and some false, to distract Ping’an and find the weak spot of his Gang Qi.
　　But Zhu Xuejian definitely didn’t know that Ping’an had cultivated the Taixin Tong and could clearly know what she was thinking at the moment.
　　“Boom！”
　　After confirming that the real body of Zhu Xuejian’s flying sword was the one attacking from behind him, Ping An did not hesitate to urge the power of qi and blood to manifest the ape demon’s body, and then punched the flying sword behind him with a fierce smash.
　　“Bang！——”
　　Amid the huge shock, Zhu Xuejian’s flying sword was instantly smashed and flew backwards by Ping An.
　　When throwing this punch, Ping An even took into account the flowers and plants in the courtyard and slightly adjusted the direction of the fist, so that the smashed flying sword flew towards the outside of the courtyard first.
　　Being hit by the natal flying sword was originally an extremely dangerous thing, but Zhu Xuejian seemed to have a body-protecting treasure on her. After a burst of cyan halo flickered around her body, she only staggered a few steps and then withstood this heavy blow.
　　“Beast, go to hell for me！”
　　Seeing that she was actually toyed with by a spiritual beast, Zhu Xuejian flew into a rage again and immediately took out a talisman with dense sword qi from her bosom.
　　But before she could take out the talisman, Ping An, who had long predicted what she needed in her heart, immediately smashed both fists to the ground.
　　“Bang！”
　　Amid a deafening collision sound, the ground of the small courtyard trembled violently. Zhu Xuejian, who couldn’t stand steadily, staggered again under her feet and almost fell headlong to the ground, failing to activate the talisman in her hand.
　　Knowing that danger was approaching, she didn’t care about retrieving the talisman at this time. She immediately poured all her true essence into her feet, and a gust of wind whistled around her body as she wanted to flee.
　　But every thought in her heart was heard clearly by Ping An.
　　So just as she had the thought of fleeing, there was a ‘bang’ and the figure of ‘Ping An’, like a black shadow, heavily bumped into her.
　　“Bang！”
　　Amid the collision sound, Zhu Xuejian’s body, like an arrow leaving the string, was blasted out of the small courtyard gate with a ‘bang’.
　　Although Ping An had just entered the Demon Venerable Realm and his cultivation level was only equivalent to that of a small success in the Divine Refinement Realm, he had cultivated the Ape Demon Skill and had the bloodline of the Mountain-Moving Ancient Ape. When he went all out to fight, not to mention a cultivator in the Divine Refinement Realm, even a strong person in the Transcendent Realm who had just entered the Heaven-Watching Realm might not be his opponent.
　　“Bang！”
　　After Zhu Xuejian was knocked out of the small courtyard, Ping An, who hadn’t had enough of the fight, immediately chased after her.
　　Xu Taiping knew very well that Ping An was not that kind of bloodthirsty Demonic beast and knew how to measure his actions, so he didn’t stop him and just followed.
　　“Whoosh！”
At this time, the extremely embarrassed Zhu Xuejian took out a talisman from her sleeve and threw it at Ping’an again.
　　“Boom！”
　　The moment the talisman was thrown out, a fireball with a diameter of more than ten feet crashed down from the sky with a “boom”.
　　But Ping’an once again predicted the timing of the appearance of this fireball in advance. The moment it was about to fall, it suddenly jumped up and dodged it.
　　At the same time, taking advantage of the falling momentum of its body, it raised its fist and with a Monkey Demon Mountain Collapse, heavily smashed towards Zhu Xuejian.
After practicing boxing with Xu Taiping for more than ten years, Ping’an’s boxing intention is already not inferior to that of an ordinary Martial Venerable Realm powerhouse. The momentum caused by a full-strength punch cannot be free by an ordinary cultivator at all.
at this moment, a cultivator who has lived in a “cradle” all his life is even more impossible to break free.
　　“Zheng！——”
　　But just as Ping’an was about to seriously injure this Zhu Xuejian with a single punch, a waterfall-like sword qi descended from the sky and directly bombarded Ping’an.
　　“Bang！”
　　Ping’an was heavily slapped to the ground by this sword qi.
Although protected by the astral qi, several sword wounds still appeared on its body, and the shoulder was even torn apart.
　　“Beast, dare to hurt my junior sister, you are courting death！”
　　And before Ping’an could stand up, with a furious shout, a man in a green shirt flew through the air and landed above Qiyuexuan, and with a sword shadow dozens of zhang long in his hand, he slashed down at Ping’an below.
　　“Ceng！”
　　But at the moment when the sword shadow slashed down, a knife shadow more than a hundred zhang long. Broke through the air from the front of Qiyuexuan Courtyard and slashed towards the sword shadow with a “shua” sound.
　　“Boom！”
　　In the deafening collision sound, the knife shadow and the sword shadow dissipated at the same time.
　　“Xu Taiping, you bastard want to kill my junior sister. How dare you protect him so blindly？”
　　The man in the green shirt snorted coldly and looked towards the entrance of Qiyuexuan Courtyard.
　　And at the entrance of Qiyuexuan Courtyard, Xu Taiping, who was holding a knife in his hand, was also looking up at the man in the green shirt.
　　Of course, it was him who had just made the move with the knife.
　　“Who are you again？”
　　After staring at the man for a long time, Xu Taiping suddenly frowned and then asked in a very confused way：
　　“Why did you break into my Qiyuexuan without permission？”
