"Clang!"
Under the violent collision of the Dragon Spirit Sword, Qin Yan almost couldn't hold on to the Fire Serpent Spear. However, he was also considered to have outstanding talent and actually rolled out smoothly. The Fire Serpent Spear transformed into a fire serpent that swallowed towards Lin Muyu's legs.
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh. He quickly turned and retreated a few steps, stabbing the longsword into the ground with one hand. With a loud shout, he summoned the wall of the bottle gourd. The Black Tortoise Shell and Dragon Scale Wall rose from the ground, directly dispersing Qin Yan's attack. Stepping forward, Lin Muyu quickly slashed out three times, causing Qin Yan to continuously retreat. The Dragon Scale Armor on his body also rapidly dissipated.
After fighting for over thirty rounds, the speed at which Qin Yan's battle qi increased was already far inferior to Lin Muyu's. Hence, he didn't delay any longer and straightforwardly stabbed the Fire Serpent Spear into the ground. He cupped his fists and said, "Big Brother Lin Muyu, I admit defeat … You haven't even used that mysterious power and can already defeat Ah Yan …"
"Ha, thanks for letting me win, Ah Yan."
Lin Muyu also cupped his fists and smiled. The mysterious power that Qin Yan spoke of was actually the Seven Planets Profound Energy. Many people knew that Lin Muyu possessed a mysterious martial art, but no one knew what it was called. Hence, it caused him to become increasingly mysterious.
…
Advance to the semifinals!
Carrying the Dragon Spirit Sword, Qin Yan walked down the stage shoulder to shoulder with Qin Yan. Looking at his Fire Serpent Spear, it was already filled with densely packed tiny cuts. He couldn't help but say with heartache, "What sword did Big Brother Lin Muyu use? It's so domineering, it actually chipped my Fire Serpent Spear. This Fire Serpent Spear is a Profound Grade Two treasure. Royal Father specially found this weapon for me from the Western Regions …"
"No problem, just find a blacksmith to repair it." Lin Muyu patted his shoulder and consoled.
"Alright …" Qin Yan was still somewhat desolate. After all, he was a competitive young man. Especially in such a grand competition like the Sword Duel Assembly, it was truly a pity to lose.
At this moment, Chu Huaimian stood up. His body swayed slightly and he frowned, looking slightly uncomfortable.
"Old Chu, can you still fight?" Feng Jixing said worriedly, "Your injuries are a little heavy!"
"It's already bandaged …"
Chu Huaiying gritted his teeth and said, "It's alright. I've prepared for so long for the Sword Duel Conference. I must go up and defeat Murong Zhou. I'll make him laugh at my Imperial Guard for having no one else."
"En, alright then …"
Murong Zhou, 34 years old this year, was the Captaincy of the Border Garrison of Heaven's Pivot Province and the General of the North. He was well versed in spear techniques and was known as the Spear God of Heaven's Pivot Province. It was said that he was invincible when it came to riding on horseback. He once defeated 7 Northern Desert Generals in a row, forging a lifetime of glory for him. It seemed that because of these experiences, Murong Zhou became arrogant. He even declared that he would challenge the Imperial Guards in the capital city one by one to see if there was anyone in the capital city who could be his match.
Furthermore, Murong Zhou was very talented. Before he was forty, he had already reached Heaven Realm's Second Heaven. He had reached Heaven Realm's Second Heaven half a year earlier than Chu Huaiyin.
Chu Huaiyin stepped onto the martial arts arena step by step. His footsteps were slightly serious. He was indeed heavily injured, but he couldn't lose his dignity as the commander of the Dragon Guards. He held onto his long sword and stood majestically in the wind. He looked like an inviolable divine statue.
Murong Zhou held an iron spear in his hand. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Chu Huaiyin, you have proven that you are a very strong person by fighting Xin Fang. However, I, Murong Zhou, am not willing to bully someone who is injured. I think … you should just admit defeat. It's not embarrassing to lose to me, Murong Zhou. Otherwise, after you're injured, your skills will be greatly reduced.
Do you think you can defeat me? "Chu Huaiyin's smile was very bright." The premise of an unfair victory is to be able to win. Do you think you can defeat me? I heard that you really want to challenge the two commanders, Qin Lei and Feng Jixing. It just so happens that I have a nickname in the Imperial Guard called 'Touchstone'. If you want to challenge the two commanders, then you have to defeat me first. Otherwise, you don't have the right to challenge them. "
"Is that so? In that case, I'll accept your invitation! "
Just as he finished speaking, Murong Zhou's iron spear suddenly stabbed towards him. Chu Huaiyin hurriedly raised his long sword to block it. However, Murong Zhou's spear had a soft force. The tip of the spear tilted slightly, causing a flower of blood to bloom on Chu Huaiyin's shoulder.
Rustle, rustle, rustle …
The power of the collision caused Chu Huaiyin to retreat several steps. He quickly abandoned his long sword and turned his palms into fingers. Rays of starlight surrounded him. Just as Murong Zhou approached him with his iron spear, Chu Huaiyin raised his hand and pointed. His battle energy turned into starlight and shot towards Murong Zhou's forehead.
"Huh?!"
Murong Zhou was stunned for a moment, and the qi armor between his eyebrows had already been shattered. He hurriedly flipped over and fell to the ground to avoid the second and third attacks. Chu Huaiying's Star Plucking Finger left deep holes on the stone floor. It was evident that Chu Huaiying's battle energy was very strong.
"You've gone too far!"
Murong Zhou rolled and crawled in a sorry state. Finally, he found an opportunity to jump up and sweep his spear towards Chu Huaiyin's calf.
However, Murong Zhou didn't expect Chu Huaiyin to be so desperate. He forcefully condensed his battle energy and rooted his calf's center of gravity on the ground. With a bang, he was hit by the spearhead, causing blood to flow out. However, Chu Huaiyin used the opportunity to injure his calf and his fingers moved like butterflies. Countless starlight condensed from battle energy fell down and directly destroyed Murong Zhou's battle energy armor.
In the blink of an eye, Murong Zhou was already covered in injuries. Fortunately, Chu Huaiyin only used 30% of his strength. Otherwise, this round of Star Plucking Finger would have been enough to kill Murong Zhou on the spot!
Murong Zhou, who was covered in blood, slowly stood up. Just as he was about to attack with his iron spear, he saw Chu Huaiyin's palm facing him. Chu Huaiyin didn't move an inch. A bright moon appeared in the air. The Moon Print Palm could take his life at any moment.
"I … I admit defeat …" Murong Zhou was dejected.
If he didn't admit defeat, he would have to pay with his life. Chu Huaiyin was already determined to get into the top four.
…
Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing hurried forward and helped the injured Chu Huaiyin off the stage. Chu Huaiyin felt a wave of nausea and dizziness. When he looked into the distance, he realized that Zhenxiang's seat was already empty. He couldn't help but feel lonely.
"Old Chu, you idiot. Do you want to die?" Feng Jixing said in a low voice.
Chu Huaiyin smiled and said, "His Majesty promised that the top four of the Sword Duel Tournament would receive the title of a second-class noble. Our Chu Clan is a commoner. I must change this situation so that Yao won't be looked down upon by anyone in the future."
"Idiot …" Feng Jixing said indifferently.
Lin Muyu supported Chu Huaiyin's shoulder and said, "Quickly apply the medicine. Otherwise, your leg might be crippled. Murong Zhou didn't hold back at all!"
"Okay …"
Immediately, she sat at the side of the stage and took off Chu Huaiyin's combat boots. His leg was already bruised and bloody. Lin Muyu hurriedly took out some medicine and personally applied it on Chu Huaiyin.
…
At this point, the top four of the Sword Duel Tournament had already been decided. They were: Feng Jixing, Lin Muyu, Qin Lei, and Chu Huaiyin. They were also the four brothers who were the closest to each other.
Soon, the eunuch announced the final lineup —
Lin Muyu vs. Qin Lei
Feng Jixing vs. Chu Huaiyin
Finally, the four brothers were going to fight it out.
Chu Huaiyin lay on the cold stone steps and looked at the sky. He smiled and said, "This year's Sword Duel Tournament is really brilliant. It's probably the most tragic one in the history of the Sword Duel Tournament …"
Qin Lei said, "It's also the most powerful one. The top four are all at Level Two of the Heaven Realm. Such a lineup … the empire hasn't seen such a thing in hundreds of years. Otherwise, His Majesty wouldn't be so happy."
Chu Huaiyin tilted his head and looked at Feng Jixing. He said, "Brother Feng, you got lucky this time. I'm all in the final battle, and I really don't have the strength to fight anymore."
Feng Jixing said happily, "Doesn't this mean that I, Feng, have directly advanced to the competition for first place?"
"Yes."
"Haha, I'll definitely treat you to a drink later. I'll drink the best wine in Lanyan City."
"Thanks …"
Then, the top four competition became the battle between Qin Lei and Lin Muyu. Qin Lei propped the Thunder Cutter Blade on the ground and said with a smile, "Yu, it's our turn. Should we go all out or hold back?"
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "Don't go all out, we can talk about it …"
"Alright then …"
Qin Lei was also a straightforward person. He patted Lin Muyu's shoulder and said with a smile, "As the big brother, I know what I'm doing. Don't worry, once the victor is decided, I'll stop."
"En, me too!"
…
The two of them went up the stage together. Qin Lei slowly swung his long blade and said with a smile, "Yu, why don't we decide the victor in one move? How about it? We'll use our strongest move. Whoever wins and who loses will be decided in an instant. This will save us from fighting for too long and exhausting too much battle qi, and giving Feng Jixing, this old fellow, an advantage. I don't want to see him take the Liulong Talisman without even fighting a battle! This way, the Imperial Guards will have too much of an advantage. "
"Alright." Lin Muyu nodded and said with a smile, "Then let's decide the victor in one move!"
"Alright!"
The people below the stage could not hear what the people on the stage were saying, but they could see that Lin Muyu and Qin Yan's expressions suddenly became solemn. Furthermore, the battle qi on the two's body rapidly rose, giving people a feeling of almost suffocation.
"Pa! Pa! "
Qin Lei raised the Lightning Split Saber horizontally. Bolts of lightning descended from the sky, encircling his surroundings. The Lightning Split Saber even trembled slightly. At the same time, six golden God Binding Chains encircled his body. Vigorous battle qi continuously spread in all directions, forming an extremely powerful storm that was currently attacking in all directions. Even furious lightning descended from the sky, causing the sky to dim. In an instant, it was as if day had turned into night. Only the flickering light of lightning continuously illuminated the people near the viewing platform.
"My god..." Tang Xiaoxi's beautiful face lost all color as she said, "Is Big Brother Qin Lei going to risk his life? He... He wouldn't be thinking of killing Yu, right? "
Qin Yin's pair of elegant eyes also revealed worry. "I believe that Big Brother Qin Lei will know what to do. Yu... he.."
Everyone on the viewing platform was already dumbstruck. The starting stance of Qin Lei's move was really too shocking. It was as if he wanted to borrow the might of the heavens to defeat Lin Muyu.
On the contrary, Lin Muyu was extremely calm. The golden gourd in her hand slowly rotated, and in the blink of an eye, it became bigger, enveloping her entire body. The Dragon Spirit Sword was unsheathed, and with a shout, a golden light soared into the sky, directly piercing through the dark clouds that Qin Lei had condensed. A ray of heavenly light landed on Lin Muyu's body. The longsword left her hand, and the Dragon Spirit Sword rapidly rotated, bringing with it streams of True Dragon Essence Fire.
Not only that, Lin Muyu even opened her left hand. Streams of blood-colored demonic energy danced wildly in her palm, quickly seeping into the blade. This strike carried the profound energy of the Two Glorious Demonic Dance. Lin Muyu didn't dare to use the Fourth Glorious Dance, because there was no need. If the Second Glorious Dance couldn't defeat Qin Lei, then it could only mean that she wasn't fated to obtain the Gilded Dragon Talisman. And compared to the Gilded Dragon Talisman, Qin Lei's life was obviously more important.
