“Brother, it seems that we are indeed destined to meet! Please hold back in the fight ahead!”
Qian ZhengYang, standing on the stage like a bamboo pole, looked at Xu Mu, who was slowly walking into the ring, with a serious look, completely devoid of the contempt he had shown during their previous encounter.
He had been watching the fights over these past two days. While others thought Xu Mu was lowly, he believed Xu Mu wasn’t that simple.
“It’s kind of you to say so, brother Qian. As long as you concede in time, you won’t get hurt,” Xu Mu laughed and said.
“Concede? First, I need to experience your amazing skills!”
Qian ZhengYang joined in laughing.
Dong!
The bell rang, and the match began.
This time, Qian ZhengYang made the first move. It seemed that he had been on guard against Xu Mu, aiming to avoid being caught off guard like Gu Jianyi was yesterday.
Wind Snake Skill!
Qian ZhengYang formed a hand seal, and dozens of green wind snakes, formed from wind elements, roared and attacked Xu Mu from all directions.
Whoosh!
Xu Mu pointed his fingers like a sword, swung lightly, and the longsword he had been carrying on his back abruptly flew out, transforming into a red light and piercing through all the incoming wind snakes.
The wind snakes disintegrated into a breeze with a roar.
The flying sword Xu Mu let loose, carrying on with the momentum, shot at Qian ZhengYang like lightning.
Qian ZhengYang was also not idle. As he murmured a mantra, a giant tornado formed in front of him and came whirling towards Xu Mu, colliding with the flying sword.
The sword aura tried to break through the tornado but was thrown into disarray by the whirlwind.
“Interesting!”
Xu Mu’s eyes lit up, and he started forming a hand seal. The sword light burst suddenly, scattering the tornado.
The next moment, amidst the scattered tornado, specks of green light flew out, gathered like sand piling into a tower, transforming into a large green halberd held in Qian ZhengYang’s hand.
“So someone actually has a combination artifact. That’s rich!”
Shang YaoYao from the audience couldn’t help but comment.
Because of the competition rules prohibiting the use of tier four or higher spiritual artifacts, the various peaks came up with the idea of creating combination artifacts to make the most out of the loopholes.
This implied using a large amount of small artifacts combined into a larger one, not only was its power greater than that of ordinary artifacts, but it could also change into various functions. For example, Bai Yingwu’s flying sword could switch between defense and offense.
Creating such an artifact is quite a hassle and consumes a lot, if it wasn’t for the use in such inter-clan competitions, no one would bother to create them. With the resources used to create a combination artifact, one could create a top-level spiritual artifact.
Clearly, Qian ZhengYang’s halberd was a combination artifact, it seemed even more intricate than Bai Yingwu’s flying sword.
Xu Mu was merely using a common tier three flying sword, which was clearly at a disadvantage at this point.
But this couldn’t be helped, who asked their Lonely Sword Peak to fall into decay? And while she had small savings, she wasn’t willing to create an expensive combination artifact expressly for Xu Mu to use in one competition. Thankfully, she had confidence in Xu Mu!
Holding the halberd, Qian ZhengYang realized that he wouldn’t have an upper hand if he was only involved in a magic skill fight, his own magic skills were average at best, if he wanted to win, he had to rely on body refinement.
Boom!
Qian ZhengYang1 s body roared with energy, swelling rapidly from a skinny bamboo pole to a small giant. Now, holding a large halberd, his whole appearance was filled with sinister terror, like a demon from hell.
“Get lost!”
Qian ZhengYang stomped his foot. With a loud rumble, the entire stage seemed to shake, then he swiftly turned his hip, and struck the incoming flying sword at the hilt.
Clang!
The ear-shattering sound of metal clashing reverberated.
The flying sword, humming in response, was directly struck away and somersaulted in the air back to Xu Mu’s side.
Although the sword was humming like an indignant dragon lurking, Xu Mu did not use his sword skill again.
At this point, Qian ZhengYang, who had just repelled Xu Mu’s flying sword, without missing a beat, leapt high into the air like a white ape, holding the halberd with both hands and striking down hard at Xu Mu.
This strike was as powerful as a thousand pounds, capable of shattering mountains and rivers!
“Could this guy be practicing the Mix Yuan Body Refining Skill? This power is almost catching up to the Foundation Establishment stage!”
Shang YaoYao couldn’t help but exclaim.
Those disciples who also realized this were equally shocked.
Tianhe Sect had many body refinement techniques, but the difficulty level of practicing the Mix Yuan Body Refining Skill was absolutely among the top tier, as was its power.
Although many disciples of this generation practiced both magic and physical skills, most of them used it as a supplement. It was rare for someone like Qian ZhengYang to primarily practice body refinement, and especially such a difficult skill as the Mix Yuan Body Refining Skill.
“What’s this guy daydreaming about? Don’t tell me he’s been scared silly?”
Everyone was puzzled as they watched Xu Mu not employing his sword skill to resist.
