Chapter 539: Chapter 490: Top Ten Geniuses_1

Xu Mu’s Lightning Spear flashed brilliantly in his hands, repeatedly striking the prohibition on the Yin-Yang Mirror, causing its light to dim and fall from the sky.

Thump!

Lin Qi Yue, who was spiritually intertwined with the Yin-Yang Mirror, couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, her aura significantly weakened.

“Thank you for yielding, Sister Lin!” Xu Mu, holding his Lightning Spear, politely replied with a smile.

Lin Qi Yue reluctantly stashed away the Yin-Yang Mirror. Despite her unwillingness, she had no choice but to step down and admit defeat.

With this, Xu Mu advanced to the fifth round of the hundred year grand tournament in Qingyun Sect.

The impressive performance attracted a lot of attention. Spectators filled the surrounding area of the match, even including cultivators from outside sects.

This time, Xu Mu’s opponent was named Shang Luo, a True Disciple of the Qingyun Gate known as a prodigy with a widespread reputation. He cultivated a series of wood-elemental sword techniques, and his strength was no weaker than Lin Qi Yue, if not stronger.

Xu Mu knew he must give his all this time. Apart from using the Lightning Spear that the Grand Elder bestowed onto him, he also wore the Purple Cloud Armor and the Flying Cloud Boots.

As for his Lifebound treasure, the Wing of Kun Peng, he didn’t reveal it.

Stepping onto the arena with utmost politeness, Shang Luo said, “Brother Xu, you are a rare genius that appears once in a thousand years. It’s my privilege to be able to spar with you.”

“Brother Shang, you flatter me. I’ve merely been a little lucky,” Xu Mu modestly replied.

The referee then officially announced the start of the match.

The two of them stood face-to-face, staring intently at each other.

In Shang Luo’s hand was a green longsword. With a cold glint and swift execution, his Sword Qi crisscrossed through the void, leaving a trail of green energy.

In Xu Mu’s hand was the Lightning Spear, its flashing lights dazzling the spectators. Series of swift strikes released a white spear Qi into the void as well.

Both their attacks were brilliant, embodying universal truths in their techniques.

The audience below began to discuss among themselves.

“This fight is really exciting. It’s a rare spectacle to see a duel between two geniuses.”

“Shang Luo’s wood-elemental sword Qi is slightly superior, Xu Mu’s spear technique is strong too, but it is a notch below Shang Luo’s.”

Xu Mu sneered inwardly. Shang Luo was indeed very strong, his sword technique was several times superior to that of Lin Qi Yue.

However, Xu Mu wasn’t afraid. He cultivated the Divine Skills of the Kun Peng clan, which were known for their speed and attacking power.

The match continued.

Both figures moved ferociously in the void. Sparks erupted as their sword qi and spear qi clashed.

The audience gasped in shock as Xu Mu moved like lightning, the spear in his hand jabbing out repeatedly, each attack accompanied by a terrifying energy.

Shalgo bore it all calmly, hacking out with his longsword and each of his strokes carried a brilliant green sword Qi.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Their assaults created terrifying energy fluctuations, causing the void to shatter and the entire Martial Arts Field to tremble.
