Shing...!!
Just as Xu Taiping sent a voice transmission to the Jade Mother's clone, Zhao Xuantan had already slashed down ahead of him, his saber carrying tremendous blade force.
In an instant, the blade shadow formed by Zhao Xuantan's strike bore down on Xu Taiping as though heaven and earth were crushing together.
In the next instant, Xu Taiping saw a trace of the Blade Ghost, Heavenly Lord Neck Metal, in Zhao Xuantan's blade force.
Moreover, he could sense that this blade force was already very close to the feeling Heaven-Hunting Great Sage Ding Mou had given him back then.
Shing...!
Boom!!
Even so, Xu Taiping, who had long been prepared, once again drew his saber and threw a punch.
The next moment, a dazzling blade shadow slashed toward Zhao Xuantan's strike like a star river pouring down.
Alongside it, a deity projection a thousand zhang tall also charged toward Zhao Xuantan.
Bang!!
Amid the deafening crash, the blade shadow of Xu Taiping's strike shattered almost at once.
The thousand-zhang-tall deity projection did the same.
But the instant the blade shadow and fist shadow shattered, eight more deity projections appeared in succession, crashing toward Zhao Xuantan's blade force with power that shook heaven and earth.
Bang! Bang, bang, bang...!!
In a flash, accompanied by nine earth-shaking collisions, Xu Taiping finally stopped the blade force of Zhao Xuantan's strike.
Xu Taiping immediately let out a quiet breath of relief.
He was not yet so arrogant as to believe he could defeat an expert like Zhao Xuantan. Being able to block a full-strength strike from him was already quite good.
Rumble...!!
But only an instant later, amid a violent rumbling that shook heaven and earth, Zhao Xuantan's blade force suddenly surged toward Xu Taiping again, roaring and howling like a fierce beast
