He coughed, still spewing great mouthfuls of blood.
At the sight, the hearts of Guangling Pavilion's Mu Yun and his two companions sank.
"A cultivator with a Martial God Realm physique coughing up blood after just a few words-could Eldest Brother Taiping have been injured during the three years he disappeared?"
Ji Ye looked at the Spirit Mirror before him, utterly puzzled.
"Impossible." Mu Yun shook his head. "According to the intelligence I received, he hasn't left the Azure Profound Sect since the day the Bone-Shattering Curse was planted in him. With so many eyes watching outside the mountain, there's no possibility of a mistake."
"Then he could only have injured himself in his eagerness to cultivate."
Mu Yuchen offered her guess.
"Very likely."
Mu Yun nodded.
In his view, it was inevitable that Xu Taiping would take some extreme measures in his cultivation to break through the Bone-Shattering Curse.
"In that case, perhaps he hasn't spent these three years in a muddle, but has been trying every possible way to find a way to break the Bone-Shattering Curse."
Watching Xu Taiping cough incessantly in the Spirit Mirror, Mu Yuchen felt an inexplicable surge of sympathy.
"Xu Taiping of the Azure Profound Sect."
Just then, Xu Taiping finally stopped coughing in the Spirit Mirror. Standing straight, he cupped his hands toward Du Ziyin opposite him and said:
"Brother Du, please grant me your sword."
Although opinions of Xu Taiping had become mixed after he refused to enter the Mysterious Wasteland Tower, everyone's heart tightened upon hearing those words, "Brother Du, please grant me your sword."
To them, Xu Taiping deserved respect simply for daring to face this sword strike in his current state.
"Boom!..."
Just then, on the Sword-Suppressing Sword Platform opposite Xu Taiping, Du Ziyin’s Aura Fluctuation surged explosively.
