2597

Time seemed to have stopped.

It had been three years since Xu Taiping had known about Zhao Qingshan!

In the past three years, Xu Taiping had grown to be an expert with over a hundred thousand battle prowess. Even still, Xu Taiping had never defeated Zhao Qingshan.

In fact, saying that he would defeat her was a bit too much. In other words, Xu Taiping had never withstood a single slash from Zhao Qingshan!

In the face of the almighty Zhao Qingshan, no matter how much improvement he made or how strong he was, the only result of Xu Taiping was him being instantly killed. From the first time they had met, to the last time in the City of Fear, Xu Taiping had been completely crushed by Zhao Qingshan.

Even though it was just a moment ago, Xu Taiping was still unable to block Zhao Qingshan's sword.

However, after Xu Qing Zhi was killed, Xu Taiping's rage woke the sleeping Ruins from their slumber. In the end, it was the Ruins who took control of Xu Taiping's body.

Thus, Xu Taiping received one of Zhao Qingshan's sword strikes.

This was a strike that contained the might of a sword!

It could be said that this was the most powerful sword attack that humanity had ever performed.

The first time Xu Taiping had seen such a brainwave, which was already extinct in the world, he had grabbed it in his hands.

However, this did not mean that Xu Taiping had already won.

The powerful sword might instantly sliced apart the flesh on Xu Taiping's hand.

The flesh on Xu Taiping's hand looked as if it had been cut by a meat grinder. It was extremely terrifying, but what was even more terrifying was that after the meat had been cut apart, it quickly gathered back together.

All of this came from Xu Taiping's terrifying recovery ability.

Under the control of Ruins, Xu Taiping's recovery rate had risen by several grades, and all the wounds on his body had been healed almost immediately.

"As a human, you are already strong enough. In fact, you are even more terrifying than many cultivators. Unfortunately, you are still just a mortal." As Xu Taiping spoke, he suddenly pressed down with the sword in his hands!

A powerful force dragged Zhao Qingshan's body down. At the same time, Xu Taiping clenched his right fist.

"Watch carefully. Mortal, what do you mean by 'Tyrant Fist'?" Ruins' voice sounded out in Xu Taiping's mind, and then an uncontrollable power gathered on his fist.

This power was too strong, it even overflowed Xu Taiping's fist, forming a strange fluctuation around it. This fluctuation even distorted the light, just like the asphalt in the summer when the sun was hot.

Swoosh!

Xu Taiping's fist tore through the air, heading towards Zhao Qingshan's stomach.

Zhao Qingshan's expression turned cold as the sword energy condensed on his body.

Without the sword might that was attached to the sword, its might was countless times weaker. However, it was still the same. The effects of using it to defend against the attacks of others were countless times greater than its power.

Bang!

A muffled sound rang out.

Zhao Qingshan's entire body shot up into the sky like a cannonball.

Xu Taiping looked up at the sky, a sword in his left hand.

This was Zhao Qingshan's sword!

In all these years, this was the first time that Zhao Qingshan had been knocked aside by someone.

Zhao Qingshan's body became a tiny dot in the air.

He was sent flying at least a hundred meters away by Xu Taiping's punch!

"Don't you like playing with swords? Let me teach you how to play." Xu Taiping sneered. He stomped on the ground with one foot …

A strong reaction force passed through Xu Taiping's leg to his waist, and then he twisted his body, stretching his arms backwards like a javelin player.

After 0.5 seconds, Xu Taiping turned around and pushed his hand forward.

Swoosh!

Zhao Qingshan's sword flashed in the air.

A distance of over a hundred meters seemed to have been crossed in an instant.

In the next moment, the sword appeared before Zhao Qingshan.

Zhao Qingshan's expression was cold. Deep in his hands, he grabbed the sword.

Puff!

The blade of the sword directly sliced apart Zhao Qingshan's hands, then continued onward, heading straight for Zhao Qingshan's face.

Finally, the sharp peak stopped about a centimeter away from Zhao Qingshan.

The powerful strength behind Zhao Qingshan's hands still stopped the sword.

Fresh blood dyed the blade of the sword red.

Ever since this sword had been stained with the blood of a cultivator a few months ago, it had never been stained with blood again.

With just a thought, Zhao Qingshan plummeted downwards like a cannonball.

Weng! *

A muffled sound rang out.

Zhao Qingshan's body landed heavily on the execution platform.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The entire execution platform seemed to be unable to bear Zhao Qingshan's weight and directly collapsed onto the ground.

In the end, the execution platform turned into a pile of ruins.

Xu Taiping, the God of Heaven, and Zhao Qingshan stood in the middle of the ruins.

Xu Taiping held Xu Qingzhi's body in his arms. Originally, Ruins wouldn't do such a thing. However, this was Xu Taiping's body, and there was no way he would let his mother's body be buried in ruins.

"You, look at the corpse." Xu Taiping passed Xu Qingzhi's corpse to the God of Heaven.

The God of Heaven nodded and held Xu Qingzhi's body in his hands.

Xu Taiping looked at Zhao Qingshan who was standing right in front of him and said, "You're a little different than what I imagined."

"You're different from what I imagined." Even though Xu Taiping had taken his attack, and even though Xu Taiping had counterattacked and injured him, he was not the least bit nervous.

Xu Taiping's nose twitched, and then a strange smile appeared on his face.

"I finally feel why your imagination is different from mine." Xu Taiping said.

"Unfortunately, you felt that it was a bit late. If you had escaped earlier, perhaps I might not have been able to catch up to you. But now … You no longer have the chance to escape. " As Zhao Qingshan spoke, terrifying brain waves surged out from his body.

This pressure came crashing down on Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping's body blocked the pressure, then he took a few steps back and knelt down on one knee.

"I've always disliked this trick because it means you've reached a point where you can make it difficult for me. But it's undeniable that you've really made it difficult for me, so... I will use this trick to deal with you. " Zhao Qingshan said.

Following Zhao Qingshan's words, the ground suddenly began to tremble. Soon after, the ground around Xu Taiping began to crack open, and sword after sword after sword after sword began to fly into the air.

A total of seven swords floated in the air. These seven swords circled around Xu Taiping, and the edges of each of the swords shone with a cold light.

"Flying sword! Who would've thought that after ten thousand years, I would see a flying sword again! A cultivator's flying sword! Hahahaha!" Xu Taiping laughed excitedly.

Zhao Qingshan frowned. Xu Taiping's words had confused him a bit.

What did ten thousand years mean?

"What secret skill is this?!" What he saw before his eyes had already exceeded what he could imagine.

"This is a secret technique that does not belong to humans." This technique only belonged to cultivators … Your pressure is close to the spiritual energy of a cultivator, but it's different as well. It's not impossible for you to use this pressure to drive a flying sword, but unfortunately, it's thousands of miles away from the true cultivator's technique of Imperial Sword Technique. " Xu Taiping said.

Zhao Qingshan's face turned slightly solemn. He was certain that the person in front of him was no longer Xu Taiping, and what he had said shocked him greatly because everything he had said was true.

However, according to what the cultivator who caught it said, the best way to use the flying sword was to use spiritual energy in order to be able to unleash enough power. In the world of ordinary people, it might be considered very powerful, but in the world of cultivation, it was not worth mentioning.

However, even though she said that, Zhao Qingshan still used this flying sword as his trump card.

Simply put, a car could run very fast if it was powered by nuclear power. If electricity was available, it could also run faster than an ordinary car. Without nuclear power, it would still be able to run at the fastest speed in the world if it was powered by electricity.

By the same logic, a flying sword that was powered by spiritual energy could only create ten points of destructive power. However, ten points of destructive power was still much stronger than the other moves, so naturally, the flying sword could be powered by the sword.

These seven flying swords did not belong to Earth. They were found on the body of that captured cultivator. After Zhao Qingshan grasped the method of control from the other party's mouth, he had automatically comprehended this move! And this move was also one of Zhao Qingshan's ultimate moves!

The seven swords trembled.

This was an extremely barely able display of control. Real cultivators controlling flying swords were as stable as dogs. Using might to control a flying sword, especially when one wasn't strong enough, would be very unstable.

In order to control these seven swords, he had already done everything he could. Next, he would launch his most powerful move. This move, he was confident that no one on Earth could block it!

Xu Taiping stood in the middle of the seven swords, his face was full of excitement, as if he was not the least bit nervous.

"Come, let me see just how powerful your flying sword is!" Xu Taiping shouted.

"As you wish!" Zhao Qingshan's right index finger and middle finger came together and he pointed at Xu Taiping.

The seven flying swords whistled towards Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping raised his hand, put his middle finger into his mouth and bit into it.

Fresh blood gushed out from the wound on his middle finger.

Xu Taiping pressed his bleeding middle finger against his chest, then slashed downwards.

A red line of blood appeared on Xu Taiping's chest.

"Bloodline Power, come out!" Xu Taiping roared.

A terrifying power suddenly came out from the red line on Xu Taiping's chest. At the same time, the red line on Xu Taiping's body also began to use its power.

In an instant, Xu Taiping's body was forcibly expanded by this power, and at this time, the flying sword had already pierced into Xu Taiping's body!
