"Boom!..."
Almost at the very moment Dongfang Yuejian finished speaking, an ear-splitting Qi Explosion rang out, and Xu Taiping appeared before her and the others as though by Instantaneous Movement, leaving only an afterimage and a cloud of golden Gang Qi that had yet to disperse where he had stood.
This was the Wind-Thunder Step, which the Spirit Bone Stele had derived by combining the Star-Transposing Step and Form- and Shadow-Transposition.
Although he was still having his clone practice it and had yet to master it, it already matched the Star-Transposing Step cultivated to great perfection.

Catching the gauntlets, Xu Taiping was surprised to discover that this black pair was even heavier than the Water-Cutting Blade at his waist.

But with the five Heavenly Soldier Skeletons about to charge over, Xu Taiping had no time to examine them closely and immediately pulled them onto his hands.

Xu Taiping clenched his fists to briefly test them and found that the gauntlets seemed capable of concentrating True Essence and Qi and Blood Power. He could use them straight away.
He immediately said with some surprise:
"I didn't expect this treasure Yuejian picked up so casually to suit me
