Mortal Bones

"No...impossible...we can't win."

After being stunned for a few breaths, Yuzhu looked at the towering figures, feeling the powerful aura fluctuations coming towards his face, and finally couldn't help but murmured.

Although Gu Qingcheng looked much calmer on the side, the thoughts in his heart at this moment were the same as Yuzhu's.

Because the group of ghosts blocking their way in front of them were not ten or twenty, but hundreds or thousands.

"There are nearly a thousand evil spirits at the same level as the Snow Maiden. Not to mention a few of us, even if we put them in the outside world, we may not be able to drive them away with the power of heaven and earth."

Gu Qingcheng said with some despair in her heart.

"Sir, let's take a detour. If we fight these evil ghosts head-on, we have no chance of winning."

Yuzhu held the Piyun Umbrella in his hand and turned to look at Xu Taiping beside him.

At this moment, Xu Taiping was sheathing the Thunderbolt Sword and sealing the remaining Thunder Flames at the same time.

After hearing Yuzhu's reminder, he raised his head, looked at the ghosts in the distance and smiled bitterly:

"You can't get around it unless you stop climbing the tower."

Hearing this, Yuzhu's eyes suddenly darkened and he said in a sad tone:

"How could it be like this... Young Master, you finally brought us to the ninth floor, and finally saw a glimmer of hope to end the chaos in Xuanhuangtian... How could it be like this..."

Different from Xu Taiping and others.

Every disciple of Xuanhuangtian who entered the Xuanhuang Tower held the hope of climbing to the top of the tower and asking Emperor Xuanhuang to save Xuanhuangtian.

The same is true for Polygonatum odorifera.

"Congratulations to all of you, you have successfully killed the Ghost King Snow Girl and gained a glimmer of hope for passing through the snowy realm."

At this moment, the tower spirit's voice suddenly sounded in everyone's minds.

"Rumble..."

At the same time as the pagoda spirit's voice sounded, a group of ghosts standing side by side in the distance suddenly stepped towards Xu Taiping and the others and roared towards them.

In the blink of an eye, they were less than a mile or two away from Xu Taiping and the others.

The speed was so fast that even if Xu Taiping used his full strength to perform the close distance step, he would still be far behind.

"Lord Talling, you said that after we defeat the Snow Maiden, we can earn a glimmer of hope for passing through the Snowy Territory. Where is this hope?"

Xu Taiping first stepped forward to block Yuzhu and Gu Qingcheng, then pressed the handle of the knife with his hand and asked Ta Ling.

In his opinion, it was impossible for Ta Ling to say what he just said for no reason.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingcheng on the side also looked at Xu Taiping and listened attentively.

She also wanted to see if Ta Ling would respond to Xu Taiping.

What surprised Gu Qingcheng was that after Xu Taiping asked this question, Ta Ling responded immediately——

"In the snowy area where the snow girl is there, the ghosts have no loopholes, and it is impossible for any monk to pass through the snowy area. Only by killing the snowy girl before the ghosts find you, and you defeating the ghosts and passing through the snowy area, can there be any possibility. ”

After hearing these words, the joy that had just appeared on Gu Qingcheng's face immediately dissipated.

"The glimmer of possibility you mentioned is referring to this?"

Gu Qingcheng smiled bitterly.

In his opinion, there is no difference between having this possibility and not having it.

Immediately, she looked at Xu Taiping again.

At this time, she could no longer imagine any way to reach the tenth floor through the snowy area, so she could only place her hope on Xu Taiping, the person her elder brother had predicted and who was chosen by Emperor Xuanhuang.

Xu Taiping still looked very calm at this time.

As early as when Liantong helped him deduce the scenes of the previous catastrophes, she had already revealed to him that the ninth level was unusual, so she was mentally prepared for it very early.

"It's definitely not enough for us alone to defeat the group of ghosts in front of us. We have to find someone."

Xu Taiping stared at the group of ghosts rushing in front of him, pressed the handle of the knife with his hand, and said without looking back.

"No one else can be found."

Gu Qingcheng shook her head helplessly and said:

"Let's not talk about whether ordinary disciples can get the qualification to enter the tower. Even if they can, they won't have the strength to reach the eighth floor under the siege of Jiuyuan."

"Only those extremely talented disciples from aristocratic families can achieve this."

"But now the situation in Xuanhuang Tower is dangerous. As the proud sons of the sect, how can they put themselves in danger?"

Regarding Gu Qingcheng's words, Xu Taiping neither acknowledged nor refuted. He just stared at the group of evil ghosts rushing forward and said:

"Miss Qingcheng, use your eyes to help me record the next situation. If I lose, immediately refine it into a soul mark and send it to the Qinglong Order."

"good!"

Gu Qingcheng didn't talk nonsense and nodded vigorously.

She was very clear about Xu Taiping's intentions.

"boom!……"

At this moment, with a loud noise, a huge blue dragon head suddenly popped out from the clouds and rushed straight towards Xu Taiping and the others.

Although it looks like a dragon, everyone knows very well that this is also a ghost king.

"boom!"

The moment the dragon ghost's head poked out, Mrs. Xu immediately used the Tianya movement technique to jump up. With a "crack" sound, she drew her sword out of its sheath, and carried the huge sword shadow transformed by the thunder flame towards the dragon turtle. Cut it off.

Demon-slaying sword, dragon-slaying style.

"boom!……"

Just when the dragon-slaying knife shadow was about to slash the dragon ghost's head, the dragon ghost opened its mouth and spat out a stream of earth-yellow dragon breath towards Xu Taiping.

"boom!"

In just a moment, Xu Taiping's protective qi was broken, and the purple dragon whale body tempered by blood and qi also exploded into a ball of blood mist with a "bang".

"Young Master... can't... block it?!"

Yuzhu, who saw this scene, turned pale.

Among their group of people, Xu Taiping's cultivation was the highest.

Now even he couldn't block the ghost king's attack, how could he continue to climb the tower? Even if they really had four lives left!

However, Gu Qingcheng suppressed the fear in her heart and sent the soul mark into the Qinglong Order before Xu Taiping was exploded by the dragon breath.

And she found that although the dragon ghost killed Xu Taiping with dragon breath, the sword shadow transformed by Xu Taiping's thunder flame still chopped on the dragon ghost's dragon head.

Even one of the dragon horns of the dragon head was directly cut off by this knife.
