Lingyuan Immortal

Chapter 66 The dust has settled
The next moment, two flying swords broke through the water and were about to cut Chen Mu's body in the blink of an eye.

Chen Mu sighed lightly and no longer hesitated. He immediately condensed the rootless water and narrowed the scope. Although the tip of the sword had not yet touched his robe, the sharp magic power that came with the sword had already caused him to produce several bloodshot streaks.

Fortunately, the water ball took the flying sword into it in time and stopped the attack.

"Is this even possible? What kind of magic is this?!"

The disciples in the audience who had never met Chen Mu exclaimed softly, sounding very surprised.

Not only did the disciples feel strange, but there was also a hint of surprise in the stands.

The headmaster turned to look at Zhang Laodao and asked softly, "This is the Fubo Water Diversion Technique, right? It seems that Chen Mu has already perfected this intermediate-level spell. He can change it as he wishes, and attack and defend with ease..."

Zhang Laodao nodded with a smile, his eyes showing joy, as if Chen Mu was one of his disciples...

While everyone was still discussing, changes occurred on the field.

The two flying swords fell into the water ball again. They were still struggling and shaking, but suddenly, the swords lost their magic power, and they all tilted their heads and drifted in the water ball like ordinary objects.

Chen Mu's heart moved, and he quickly looked up at the tall and short men.

"It's done!"

But they both looked pale and shocked.

"I clearly still have some mana left, why is it not working?"

The tall and short man looked at each other, then, feeling the chill within their bodies, released their spiritual awareness and probed into the air...

"There's something strange about the rain! Senior Brother Zhu!..."

The two of them shouted in unison and hurriedly reminded Zhu Yongxin who was standing beside them.

Zhu Yongxin's face changed, and he didn't bother to investigate any further. He quickly put up a magic shield to resist.

Seeing this, Gu Liang and others who were regulating their breathing in the distance burst into laughter.

Others didn't know about Tianhu Peak Chen Mu's strange Shiyu ability, but they did know...

Chen Mu smiled slightly and waved his hand to disperse the Fu Bo Water Diversion Technique around him.

“Ding-dang…”

The two flying swords were freed from their restraints and immediately fell to the ground.

Chen Mu ignored them and rushed forward, holding a crystal water sword in his hand, and slashed out several water-blue sword energies at the two tall and short people.

Zhu Yongxin knew what Chen Mu was thinking. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the two men's magic power was still inadequate to get rid of them first. Naturally, he was unwilling to let Chen Mu get what he wanted.

"If those two are eliminated, and I'm left alone against Chen Mu... I'm afraid I won't be able to hold my own... How hateful! If I were at my peak, I would make this brat suffer!"

At this point, although Zhu Yongxin felt the pressure Chen Mu brought to them, he still refused to acknowledge Chen Mu's strength and still believed that he was just taking advantage of the situation and that was why he was in such a predicament...

Zhu Yongxin gritted his teeth and controlled the jade flute to block the water-blue sword energy. He used all his strength to mobilize his magic power into the jade flute. The next moment, invisible silk threads emerged from several holes of the jade flute, flying and blocking the sword energy that Chen Mu was slashing at.

Chen Mu's expression remained unchanged, but something moved in his mind. He saw several water-blue sword energies that could not be blocked suddenly vibrate, and in the blink of an eye, each of them flew out a smaller sword energy, passed Zhu Yongxin, and continued to fly towards the tall and short people.

"Sword light differentiates!"

The tall and short men suddenly felt their hair stand on end, and were terrified. They no longer had the will to hold on, and hurriedly stepped back a few steps and rolled off the stage.

Chen Mu was delighted when he saw this, and he turned the split sword energy around and flew towards Zhu Yongxin's back at a speed several times faster than before.

Zhu Yongxin had no time to help the two men. Seeing Chen Mu slashing at him non-stop, he immediately showed a vicious look in his eyes and his long face was extremely ferocious.

He shouted wildly: "Chen Mu! You forced me to this point!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yongxin allowed the jade flute to block the sword energy. He then roared to the heavens and pounded his chest with both fists, making a thumping sound. The next moment, his entire body's magic power erupted, and around him, a phantom of a cyan ancient ape-like monster took shape. Like him, it beat its chest like a drum, but the phantom was extremely blurry, swaying, and looked very unstable.

"Green Ape Spirit! This is the high-level spell that Senior Brother Zhu practiced some time ago!"

A disciple in the audience who was familiar with Zhu Yongxin suddenly spoke out, causing an uproar.

Zhu Yongxin strained to control the spell. The disciples were right; this was a high-level spell he'd practiced specifically for the competition. However, the difficulty of practicing high-level spells had exceeded his expectations. Because he'd practiced for so little time, forcing it to be used would have been a significant strain on his body. So, before the competition, he'd decided to avoid using it if possible...

"Chen Mu!..."

Zhu Yongxin stared at Chen Mu in front of him with a ferocious face, which looked even more terrifying against the backdrop of the monster's shadow.

Chen Mu remained unmoved. He looked at the magic shield Zhu Yongxin had erected to block the raindrops. Countless tiny holes had appeared on it...

"Die!"

Zhu Yongxin finally unleashed the Green Ape Spirit, and immediately rushed over, swinging his fist at Chen Mu, and the shadow on his body also attacked along with his movements.

But before he could touch Chen Mu, Zhu Yongxin's body softened, the shadow of the monster suddenly dissipated, he staggered a few steps, and fell heavily to the ground.

Such an anticlimactic scene left everyone stunned. They had imagined several scenarios: Chen Mu was defeated by the Green Ape Spirit and suffered a regretful defeat, while others suggested Chen Mu would use another trump card to defeat Zhu Yongxin. However, they had never expected such a scene...

Chen Mu lowered his head slightly and looked at Zhu Yongxin who was lying unconscious not far from him. He curled his lips into a smile, and immediately used his magic power to roll up Zhu Yongxin and throw him off the stage.

"Okay! Okay! Junior Brother Chen..."

The disciples of Tianhu Peak shouted in unison, especially Gu Liang, who wanted to rush onto the stage to celebrate with Chen Mu.

The disciples of Dutian Peak looked at each other, shook their heads and said nothing.

Chen Mu bowed to the people around the arena, without showing any expression, but was thinking in his heart.

"It seems that when a person is enraged, they tend to overlook many details. Although Zhu Yongxin had erected a mana shield, he was so furious as to unleash the Green Ape Spirit that he didn't even notice the shield was damaged, causing a chill to enter his body and cut off his mana supply... We must learn from his example and strive to remain calm even in a crisis..."

"But even if he notices it, his mana will be depleted at an accelerated rate, and the Green Ape Spirit won't be able to maintain it for long. If I hold on a little longer, I can still defeat him."

"It's ridiculous! If he had just come in and left no room for maneuver, directly unleashing the Green Ape Spirit, the outcome would have been hard to predict. But he was so hesitant and dragged his feet, waiting until his teammates were eliminated before he would unleash all his might..."

After pondering for a moment, Chen Mu summed up the gains and losses of this battle, shook his head, and looked up to meet Han Jing's happy eyes. He smiled and nodded, signaling her with his eyes to help Ningxia and the other two defend so as not to lose the ring.

Han Jingtan's mouth opened slightly before she realized what was happening and quickly turned around...

On the stands, Lin Shuyun was expressing his joy to the headmaster and others about the recovery of the Gengqi Arena. From time to time, he turned his head to look at Chen Mu with admiration, and happened to notice the interaction between Chen Mu and Han Jing.

She felt something in her heart and began to think carefully.

The headmaster chuckled and said, "I didn't expect that in Junior Sister Peak, besides my nephew, there is another person so dazzling. Seeing that his Heavy Wave Sword Technique can split the sword energy, it is obvious that he has reached perfection. He also practices the high-level magic of Complex Water Technique, and it seems that he has entered the minor success realm for a long time... I am really curious about what kind of opportunity he has..."

Shi Xin remained silent, while Taoist Zhang stroked his beard and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Lin Shuyun was lost in thought, the Sect Leader did not forcefully call out to him. Instead, he tilted his head and chatted with Taoist Zhang.

After chatting for a while, everyone looked up at the horizon and found that the clouds were already turning red...

The headmaster laughed loudly, stood up, waved his hand to stop the fight on the Renjiu Arena, and spoke loudly.

"Chen Mu won the arena and will be the master of Geng Qi."

"This time, the two peaks competed. Dutian Peak won seven spots, and Tianhu Peak took the remaining three. The position of true successor was awarded to Zong Bing of Tianhu Peak..."

"After seven days, the disciples who have been selected will come to this main hall. Master will reward you..."
