Mortal bone

"can."

Emperor Xuanhuang nodded.

Immediately, the seven soul seals originally fixed in place by the Emperor Xuanhuang began to be printed in different directions on Xu Taiping's body under the push of those seven pale fingers.

"Zizi..."

Accompanied by an ear-piercing sound of burning irons, the irons transformed from the seven soul seals were all imprinted on Xu Taiping's body.

"what!--"

Under the unprecedented pain, Xu Taiping let out a heart-piercing scream.

"boom!"

In just a split second, the six golden dragons on his body, which symbolized the martial arts of the top five on the Golden Scale List, all shattered.

But this is just the beginning.

After the Youming Book of Life and Death swallowed Xu Taiping's luck on the Golden Scale List, it continued to swallow his own luck, and in the end only left him with bad luck.

But even so, Xu Taiping still didn't satisfy the Nether Book of Life and Death in exchange for helping him obliterate the Seven Emperors.

So the book of life and death began to devour his life essence.

At this moment, Xu Taiping could clearly feel that his lifespan was like the grains of sand in the hourglass, beginning to pass away at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the soul mark that had already been branded on his body was also crazily devouring the qi, blood and true essence in his body.

And the devilish energy in the soul seal began to erode his soul.

All of a sudden, Xu Taiping's vitality dissipated, his qi and blood were exhausted, his true energy was lost, and his soul was torn apart bit by bit by the demonic energy.

At this moment, he suffered heavy injuries, and taking any one of them alone would be fatal to other monks.

And just when Xu Taiping was in a trance, his mind suddenly recalled the words his grandfather said to him when he was dying——

"Taiping, fight for one breath, fight for the bones of the world."

However, when he recalled this sentence at this time, what he cared most about was not the content of this sentence, but only the word "struggle" in this sentence.

"Struggle..."

Xu Taiping, who endured a burst of severe pain, suddenly raised his head and muttered to himself, and then an extremely strong thought began to emerge in his mind——

"Yes, I will fight."

"I can't just watch the book of life and death take everything from me, I have to fight it!"

"Even if there is only a ray of life left, a drop of blood, a mouthful of true energy, I will fight with it!"

Think about this.

While Xu Taiping was enduring unimaginable pain, he slowly urged the qi refining method in the Chengyun Sutra, gradually regaining the true energy that was taken away by the Book of Life and Death.

"Snapped!"

At the same time, he took a step with great difficulty, clenched his fists, opened the frame of the Ancestral Sacred Fist, and stared straight ahead at nothing.

"excuse me!"

He yelled angrily towards the front without any warning, and then used a domineering posture, smashing forward heavily.

"boom!"

Even though this punch just hit the air, in Xu Taiping's mind, he had already imagined an opponent who would fight with him in front of him.

And the identity of this opponent is the book of life and death that is frantically devouring his vitality, true energy, and blood at this moment.

"Snapped!"

"boom!"

After punching out, Xu Taiping began to fight with all his might against the opponent he imagined, even though the flesh and blood on his body was peeling off piece by piece due to the soul mark, he didn't care.

"Xu Taiping, don't be careless..."

The Emperor Xuanhuang at the side wanted to remind Xu Taiping to concentrate on resisting the backlash of the soul seal, but in the middle of speaking, he suddenly closed his mouth, followed by a tone full of surprise:

"No, he's not waving his fists indiscriminately, but fighting against the opponent he imagined in his mind!"

After thinking of this point, the golden flames all over Emperor Xuanhuang's body suddenly rose straight towards the roof with a "boom", and then he murmured in a somewhat horrified tone:

"Could it be that he imagined the invisible book of life and death as a tangible opponent, which lies in his fist fight?"

Thinking of this, Emperor Xuanhuang began to use his powerful soul, and according to Xu Taiping's boxing movements at this moment, outlined in his mind the appearance of Xu Taiping's imaginary "book of life and death".

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Once Emperor Xuanhuang began to use this method to see Xu Taiping's crazy behavior at the moment, an extremely tragic scene of a martial artist fighting fists immediately appeared in his mind.

As a result, the more he watched, the more frightened he became.

Because he found that under this method, the speed at which Xu Taiping's qi, blood and true essence were devoured actually began to slow down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"No, it is impossible for the book of life and death to fight with Xu Taiping. At this moment, the one who is really fighting with Xu Taiping is actually himself."

"It's me after my boxing skills have improved."

"He is using this way of the self at this moment to defeat the self of the previous moment. To rapidly increase his true vitality, qi and blood, so as to offset the loss of his qi, blood and true vitality in the Book of Life and Death."

"He actually found a way to restrain the backlash of the book of life and death by himself!"

Soon, Emperor Xuanhuang discovered the reason why Xu Taiping was insane at the moment.

"bass!"

At this moment, Xu Taiping suddenly drew his saber.

He began to test the sword with his imaginary opponent, the book of life and death.

He also used the Seven Killing Knife, the Demon Slaying Knife, and even the Life Killing Knife that he had just practiced.

He seemed to be insane, constantly questioning and testing the formidable opponent he imagined.

Even competing in spells.

……

And outside the Xuanhuang Pagoda.

In the beginning, many monks watching the battle in front of the spiritual mirror thought that Xu Taiping's soul was eroded by the eight seals on his body, and he became a lunatic, just like Emperor Xuanhuang did at the beginning.

But as Xu Taiping's energy, blood and true energy became more and more abundant, the boxing techniques and saber moves he exhibited became more and more subtle during fist fights and saber tests, and everyone discovered something was wrong one after another.

"He is fighting for life and death!"

In the Southern Chu Palace, when the old Martial God Zhu Huai realized that Xu Taiping was fighting against his imaginary opponent, he immediately exclaimed.

"boom!"

At this moment, Xu Taiping's arm holding the knife suddenly broke when he swung the knife.

After being deprived of more and more vitality and the power of qi, blood and true essence by the book of life and death, his body was already on the verge of collapse.

But even in this situation, Xu Taiping just changed hands, and then continued to test the knife with the book of life and death he imagined.

"Crack!"

Not long after, Xu Taiping's second arm broke, and the long knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".

Everyone thought that at this point, Xu Taiping had to give up even if he didn't want to.

But it was only for a moment, and everyone saw from the spiritual mirror that Xu Taiping quickly bit the long knife that fell to the ground with his mouth, and continued to swing the knife with his mouth to attack the enemy.

When everyone saw this scene, even those spectators who thought Xu Taiping had gone crazy couldn't help showing a little respect for Xu Taiping in their hearts.

As for the old Martial God Zhu Huai, who has long seen that Xu Taiping is fighting for life and death in this way, the respect for Xu Taiping in his heart is even more immeasurable.

"I can't find an opponent, but I can imagine an opponent to improve myself. This kid has turned his perseverance and determination into talent. He is simply a monster among monsters."

Qionghua Sword Immortal couldn't help sighing with emotion at this moment.

"boom!……"

Just at this moment, the soul imprint of the last Demon Emperor was imprinted on Xu Taiping's body intact.

So far, Xu Taiping has resisted the soul seals of all eight demon emperors.

"He succeeded... He actually took back a life from the book of life and death by himself..."

The old warrior Zhu Huai was dumbfounded, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"Shh, shh, shh!"

But at this time Xu Taiping didn't realize this, he still bit his long knife and kept slashing at the opponent he imagined.

That appearance is both scary and sad.

"Little brother... you can put down the knife..."

On the twelfth floor of the Xuanhuang Pagoda, looking at Xu Taiping who was still swinging the saber, senior sister Zhao Linglong's eyes flickered with thunder, and she murmured in distress.

Meanwhile, Fairy Lingyue in Linyuan Pavilion tightly clenched her fists and murmured distressedly:

"Taiping, it's okay, you can put down the knife."

Looking at Xu Taiping who kept swinging the knife in front of her, she seemed to have seen the scene of the little boy in Qingniu Village climbing from a mortal bone to the leader of the golden scale with fists and knives.

"Xu Taiping!"

At this moment, Emperor Xuanhuang, who had been silent in the phantom of the spirit mirror, suddenly called out Xu Taiping's name.

"bass!--"

Almost at the moment Emperor Xuanhuang yelled, Xu Taiping, who looked like a madman, suddenly turned around and slashed at Emperor Xuanhuang.

"boom!"

Amidst the violent explosion, the golden flames of the sun protecting Emperor Xuanhuang's body were split open by Xu Taiping's saber.

"Snapped!"

However, Emperor Xuanhuang just stretched out his hand and patted Xu Taiping's shoulder lightly, and his saber intent dissipated immediately.

"Emperor?"

Xu Taiping, who had both arms broken, his flesh cracked, and covered in blood, looked up at Emperor Xuanhuang with a blank expression.

"Little Taiping."

Emperor Xuanhuang showed an extremely gentle smile to Xu Taiping and said:

"It was you who won. You won your life back from the book of life and death."

Hearing this, Xu Taiping was startled first, then he grinned.

Seeing this, Emperor Xuanhuang suddenly dissipated the golden flames of the sun all over his body, revealed his true face, and then said with an extremely solemn expression:

"Since you survived, I, Xuanhuang, will give you a big gift!"
