Mortal Bones

Immediately afterwards, with a knife sound like the cry of a crane, Xu Taiping's figure seemed to merge with the long knife in his hand, and turned into a dazzling knife light and rushed into the rat group in front.

"Bang!"

In just a moment, the rat group in front was cut by the knife light.

Seeing this scene, the boy's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Xu Taiping's intention. He immediately rushed over with his sister on his back and rushed into the gap in the rat group cut by the knife.

"Shua!"

Just when the gap was about to be closed by the rat group, Xu Taiping slashed again with a knife sound like the cry of a crane.

Immediately, another gap appeared in the other direction of the rat group.

The boy hurriedly followed.

Afterwards, no matter how fast the rat group closed, the long knife in Xu Taiping's hand could always cut a gap for the two brothers and sisters.

In the end, the sound of the knife sounding like the cry of a crane began to ring continuously in the whole mountain forest.

As Xu Taiping's sword was drawn faster and faster, the aura of killing on his body became stronger and stronger. The look in the eyes of the young man hiding behind him gradually changed from the joy of surviving the disaster to an indescribable awe.

Especially when he saw that Xu Taiping was still able to chop down the giant rats with his sword despite the exhaustion of his true essence, the blood and energy gradually weakened, and his sturdy body gradually disappeared, the awe in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"Bang!..."

After killing countless giant rats, Xu Taiping was finally hit hard in the chest by a giant rat because he didn't keep up with his steps.

At this time, Xu Taiping, who had recovered his ordinary warrior's physique, could not withstand the impact of the giant rat.

But under the urging of the sword of the Demon Slayer Tingheshi, Xu Taiping, who was about to be knocked away, turned his body back and split the giant rat that hit him in half with a "swish" sound of the sword.

The giant rats spurted blood all over Xu Taiping, making him look like the evil ghost that crawled out of the underworld in the legend.

However, the brother and sister at this moment were not afraid of the evil ghost in front of them, but were full of gratitude.

"Shua, shua, shua!"

At this time, Xu Taiping swung the Lei Po Dao in his hand again quickly, relying only on the knife force on his body and the little blood remaining in his body, he killed two or three giant rats again, and once again cut a gap in the rat group.

The boy hurriedly carried his sister on his back to catch up.

"Brother, the hero now looks like an ordinary person, why can he keep killing these big rats."

The little girl on the boy's back wiped the blood splashed on her face, then blinked her big eyes and asked the boy in disbelief.

"It's different. Ordinary people don't have the perseverance and fighting spirit of the hero."

The boy looked at Xu Taiping's eyes without any fear, and the awe in his eyes became stronger.

"Daddy is right. Even if you have exhausted your true essence and blood, as long as you have the fighting spirit and spirit, you will definitely find a turning point."

Thinking of this, he suddenly made up his mind, clenched his fist and whispered:

"If I survive this disaster, I will definitely join the White Tiger Camp when I return, and then kill the ghosts and guard the western border like Daddy."

"Swish!"

At this time, Xu Taiping once again cut a gap in the rat group for himself and his brother and sister behind him before the giant rats were about to surround him.

But just as he was about to take a breath and let his blood recover a little, the giant rat that he had chopped down on the ground suddenly climbed up and knocked him to the ground heavily.

"Puff!..."

After this collision, Xu Taiping could no longer suppress the injuries on his body, and he spit out a large mouthful of blood before he got up from the ground.

And when he was at the bottom, the gap he had cut in the rat group was also closing rapidly.

Seeing that the three were about to be drowned by the rats, the young man suddenly put down his sister and rushed to Xu Taiping, trying to pick up the Leipo Knife on the ground to resist the rats.

"Pah!"

But before he could pick up the knife, the hand that reached for the handle was slapped away by Xu Taiping who was lying on the ground.

"Don't touch my knife."

Xu Taiping, who was lying on the ground, held the knife in his hand again, and his slightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

In an instant, the knife force that had begun to dissipate was re-condensed around him.

"Bang!"

Then, Xu Taiping slapped his palm heavily on the ground and stood up quickly.

At the same time, the long knife in his hand "swish" turned into a knife light like a full moon and slashed at the giant rats rushing around.

...

"The incense is burned out!"

In the stone fortress, when Nanxing and others saw the last piece of incense ash in Zhang Lao's hand fall, they couldn't help but cheer in unison.

"Retreat, the rats are starting to retreat. Young Master is right. It only takes one stick of incense for the rats to retreat!"

Zhai Mo, who had been watching the rats outside the stone fort through the cracks in the stone wall, also shouted excitedly at this time.

"You guys step back, I'm going to open the door!"

Gu Qingcheng, who also observed this scene, pressed her hand on the ground without saying a word.

With a "boom", the huge rocks that were originally piled up at the entrance of the stone fort were all lifted up by the vines controlled by Gu Qingcheng.

"Go and see how Young Master is doing!"

Nan Xing and others immediately ran out of the stone fort.

"Don't let anything happen, don't let anything happen!"

Gu Qingcheng, who was following behind the crowd, kept praying in his heart while running as fast as he could.

Although dying in Xuanhuang Tower was not really dying, it only meant that he could not enter Xuanhuang Tower for two or three years. However, Gu Qingcheng knew very well that with Jiuyuan's control over Xuanhuang Tower, in another two or three years, even if Xu Taiping was a candidate favored by Emperor Xuanhuang, he would not be able to reach the ninth floor of Xuanhuang Tower!
