Before Xu Taiping could recover, Fairy Lingyue once again took control of his body and suddenly drew his sword.
A slash aimed at the Peacock King, who had yet to regain his footing.
Compared to the previous punch, the momentum of this sword strike was even more terrifying. The long shadow of the sword, formed by the sword aura, was nearly a hundred feet long.
And this hundred-foot-long sword shadow slashed straight onto the Peacock King's body.
The Peacock King once again protected his body with his wings, but the immense force from the sword directly sent him plummeting to the ground.
In the end, his massive body fell heavily onto the Danxia Platform with a loud thud.
"The same sword, the same body, the same true essence, just by changing the way it's used, the power can be so great?"
Xu Taiping felt his mind struggling to comprehend.
"Little Taiping, don't just stand there dumbfounded. Pay attention to the timing of my sword strikes and the way I circulate true essence. Although it's not a famous sword technique, it's the insight I gained from nearly ten thousand battles," Fairy Lingyue's voice echoed in Xu Taiping's mind once again.
Xu Taiping responded solemnly in his mind, then began to focus his mind, carefully sensing Fairy Lingyue's combat style.
And as they spoke, Fairy Lingyue had already controlled Xu Taiping's body to deliver another slash at the Peacock King below.
The Peacock King, who had just regained his footing, hurriedly raised his wings to block.
Although he managed to block it, many of the feathers on his wings fell like scattered petals.
Seeing this, the Peacock King became desperate, roaring in anger. His body suddenly spun, and the feathers on his wings transformed into a rain of arrows, whistling through the air towards Xu Taiping.
Faced with this attack, the wind shield cast by the Azure Phoenix Ring shattered almost instantly.
But Fairy Lingyue showed no sign of retreating. Her long sword emitted a brilliant sword aura, and in an instant, she delivered nearly a hundred slashes, severing almost all the incoming feathers.
And in the end, these hundred slashes converged into one, as if it had never deviated from its path, and once again heavily struck the Peacock King's wings.
It must be said that the Peacock King's wings were truly harder than black iron. Even such a fierce strike failed to cut them open.
However, this strike did not leave the Peacock King unscathed. The feathers flying everywhere and the blood seeping from his wings were clear evidence of the damage.
Fairy Lingyue was about to strike again, but the fine steel long sword in her hand shattered under the strain.
Seeing this, the Peacock King was overjoyed and struggled to get up.
But just as he stood up, Fairy Lingyue threw away the broken sword and delivered a punch with a fierce gust of wind.
With a massive shock, the Peacock King's massive body trembled, and a cloud of blood mist exploded around him.
The Peacock King had never imagined that a punch from a mere Wanyou Realm cultivator could be so terrifying.
In response, Fairy Lingyue delivered another punch.
This punch caused another cloud of blood mist to explode around the Peacock King, and the surrounding peacock demons preparing to aid him were directly blown back by the shockwave from the punch.
"Fairy Lingyue's punch, using only a bit of true essence, can have such immense power?"
Watching this, Xu Taiping was deeply impressed and began to carefully sense the flow of true essence within his body and the movements of Fairy Lingyue as she controlled his body to deliver the punch.
"This is the Thousand-Weight Force. It looks like just one punch, but it actually gathers the power of hundreds or even thousands of punches into one point and releases it all at once," Fairy Lingyue explained, seemingly guessing Xu Taiping's confusion. She then pressed her fingertips against the Peacock King's wing and suddenly clenched her fist, delivering a heavy blow to the Peacock King's wing.
With a massive shock, another cloud of blood mist exploded from the Peacock King's body.
The Peacock King let out another agonized scream.
The fact that a king-level demon beast could scream in such agony was a clear testament to the power of Fairy Lingyue's punch.
This time, Xu Taiping finally noticed that his fist, controlled by Fairy Lingyue, had a slight tremor when it struck the Peacock King's wing.
Clearly, this was Fairy Lingyue deliberately slowing down to demonstrate for him.
"Whoever you are, you are ultimately just a Wanyou Realm cultivator!"
The Peacock King suddenly roared in anger, and his blood and qi transformed into flames, making him look like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
He suddenly raised his wings and forcefully slapped them towards Xu Taiping.
Faced with the Peacock King's attack, Fairy Lingyue suddenly raised her fingers to form a seal and shouted, "Stay still!"
As soon as she spoke, a rune of light suddenly appeared above the Peacock King's head. A translucent golden palm descended from the sky and struck the Peacock King, pressing his flaming body firmly under its grip with a loud thud.
This was the first time Fairy Lingyue had used a spell.
But even this one use drained a large portion of the true essence in Xu Taiping's dantian, which had been relatively abundant.
"No wonder Fairy Lingyue always just uses swords and fists. It's because my true essence can't support the spells she knows," Xu Taiping thought bitterly.
Clearly, if his cultivation were higher, the Peacock King would have been killed by now.
But even so, using just a Wanyou Realm body to render a peacock demon king helpless was a testament to Fairy Lingyue's formidable martial skills.
"Taiping, this is a rare opportunity. Try it yourself this time."
Fairy Lingyue suddenly relinquished control of Xu Taiping's body.
At this moment, she clearly didn't take the Peacock King seriously at all.
Xu Taiping readily agreed.
Then, he recalled the feeling of Fairy Lingyue controlling his body to deliver a punch, and similarly raised his palm near the Peacock King's wing, then suddenly clenched his fist and delivered a blow.
With a massive collision, the Peacock King's wing trembled, but it did not suffer any substantial damage.
"Not bad, you managed to gather three punches into one right from the start. You've learned the technique of delivering force," Fairy Lingyue said approvingly.
"Gathering a thousand punches into one like you is too difficult," Xu Taiping shook his head.
"You must be using some evil technique to enhance your strength. Now that your strength has weakened, I'll see how long you can last!"
The Peacock King, noticing the weakened force of the previous punch, suddenly sneered in mockery.
Fairy Lingyue laughed coldly, then once again took control of Xu Taiping's body and delivered a punch.
The power of the Thousand-Weight Force struck the Peacock King again, causing another cloud of blood mist to explode from his body.
The Peacock King let out another agonized scream.
