Compared to Qin Lei's lightning that wreaked havoc, Lin Muyu's aura was clearly much gentler. The golden gourd represented the power of life, giving people a sense of peace. However, the demonic power that spread on the blade allowed people to feel the hidden tyranny and forcefulness of Lin Muyu's attack. The two of them were risking their lives right from the start. This made people look forward to the final result even more.
…
On the viewing platform, the noble ladies were sipping tea as they discussed spiritedly —
"Wow, Sir Qin Lei is indeed worthy of being the commander of the Imperial Army. This kind of aura is too frightening. I'm afraid that Sir Lin Muyu is going to lose …"
"No, Sir Lin Muyu will not lose!"
"Why?"
"Because Sir Lin Muyu looks much better than Sir Qin Lei!"
"Pfft, shameless!"
"Stupid girl, haven't you been staring at Sir Lin Muyu, Chu Huaiying, and Feng Jixing?"
"Hmph, I haven't!"
"Then why did you see Sir Lin Muyu's appearance just now? Her breathing was hurried, her face was flushed, and she kept pulling at her clothes at the front of her chest?"
"Ah, I'm going to kill you to silence you, stupid girl!"
…
On the practice platform, the hard stone slabs were actually peeling off and rising due to the collision of power. It was as if they were going against the law of gravity. Bits of stone and dust were constantly flying up due to the collision of power between Lin Muyu and Qin Lei. However, it was in line with the physical phenomenon of the airflow rotating due to thermal expansion and contraction.
Lightning constantly flickered, and the Thunder Split Blade was burned red by the lightning. It had already reached its peak state. Qin Lei's eyes were burning with battle intent. He laughed loudly and said, "Yu, try the sixth attack of big brother's Thunder Split Blade Technique!"
As he spoke, Qin Lei shouted, "Raging Thunder Rips the Heavens!"
"Buzz!"
The Thunder Cutter Blade seemed to have already transformed into countless streaks of lightning. The one in front of them was definitely not a single Thunder Cutter Blade. Qin Lei's overwhelming attack had actually blasted out tens of thousands of Thunder Cutter Blades!
A cold glint flashed across Lin Muyu's eyes. She abruptly clasped her palms together and gathered all the fighting energy in her body. The Dragon Serpent Sword Soul let out an angry roar and circled around the blade of the Dragon Soul Sword. The Dragon Serpent Sword Soul charged towards the Thunder Splitter Sword with a high-speed spiral of flames!
Boom!
The two Divine Weapons collided together, and the sounds of energy explosions rang out incessantly. The Dragon Spirit Sword spun and charged forward, directly shattering the energy of the first Lightning Split Blade. Following that, the second, the third, and so on, it kept on charging forward. Meanwhile, Lin Muyu spread out his arms from afar, with flames lingering around his palms. He controlled the Dragon Spirit Sword to charge forward from a distance. The strong wind blew his cloak, causing it to flutter. He narrowed his eyes, not giving in in the slightest to Qin Lei's attack.
"Awesome!"
Qin Lei roared as he continued to urge his fighting energy. The Sky Rending Raging Lightning crazily surged.
Lin Muyu could not retreat, or else his body would be torn into pieces in an instant. He did not believe that Qin Lei, this battle maniac, had the ability to hold back at the crucial moment. Therefore, he could only win this battle and not lose.
The Seven Luminaries Profound Energy was circulating crazily. When the Dragon Spirit Sword smashed close to a hundred Thunder Splitter Sword's sharp beams, its power actually showed some signs of being exhausted. However, Qin Lei's Sky Rending Raging Lightning was still wreaking havoc. The arrow was already on the bowstring and had no choice but to be released!
Again!
With a light spread of his palms, the Third Luminaries' profound energy crazily surged out of his body. One after another, the celestial bodies of living beings condensed on the Martial Arts Practice Stage. Under Lin Muyu's summon, they all attached themselves to the Dragon Spirit Sword from afar. Immediately, the golden light exploded. The Dragon Spirit Sword received the addition of new energy as it rapidly charged towards Qin Lei, directly shattering the energy of dozens of Thunder Splitter Sword.
Lin Muyu exerted all of his strength to control the Dragon Spirit Sword through the air. His complexion became rather pale as he secretly prayed: "Big Brother Qin Lei, hurry up and lose. Don't force me to use the Fourth Luminaries … The Fourth Luminaries are too strong. If I use it, even I would be afraid …"
Finally, Qin Lei, who was on the Martial Arts Practice Stage, suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with a "pfft" sound. He could not hold on any longer. The six God Binding Chains on the surface of his body began to scatter one after another, and the radiance of the Thunder Splitter Sword also gradually dimmed.
"Buzz buzz …"
The Dragon Spirit Sword charged straight towards Qin Lei's chest without stopping. Just as it was about to pierce through, Lin Muyu suddenly retracted his hand. Immediately, as if it had a mind of its own, the longsword made a somersault in the air and stabbed onto the stone slab in front of Lin Muyu.
"Ga … Ga …"
Qin Lei gasped for breath. While wiping the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, he raised his head to look at Lin Muyu and said with a smile: "Satisfying … satisfying … Yu, just where did this strange strength come from? The sixth strike of my Thunder Splitter Sword Technique is extremely tyrannical. I'm confident that even Feng Jixing might not be able to dissolve it unscathed. You, brat, actually … actually forcefully broke through this move of mine. You're really not simple …"
Lin Muyu's complexion was also pale as she slowly held onto the sword hilt. Her body swayed as she said with a smile: "I've already used all of my strength. If I couldn't receive this move, I'm afraid that I would have been hacked to death by Big Brother Qin Lei."
Qin Lei laughed loudly: "I've lost. Yu, you go fight for first place with Feng Jixing!"
"Many thanks to Big Brother Qin Lei for letting me win."
"Pah, I didn't go easy on you. Do you think that I don't want the Dragon Talisman?"
Qin Lei wiped the corner of his mouth again and said with a smile: "Hmph, my Imperial Army only has 7000 people. If I had the Dragon Talisman, I would mobilize troops from Cangnan Province and expand the Imperial Army to 17000 people!"
Lin Muyu walked forward and held onto Qin Lei's arm. She said with a smile: "7000 people is already enough. Any more would just be eating rations for free."
"That's true …"
… …
At this time, a eunuch walked onto the uneven Martial Arts Practice Stage and said loudly: "Lin Muyu wins. Lord Qin Lei and Lord Chu Huaiying are tied for third and fourth place in this Sword Duel Assembly. Next, Lord Feng Jixing and Lord Lin Muyu will fight for first place in this Sword Duel Assembly!"
Thunderous applause sounded. Everyone was finally going to see a pinnacle showdown.
Feng Jixing, the man who was known as the "Tiger of Tong Tian Street", and Lin Muyu, the peerless genius of the Divine Temple that was rarely seen in a hundred years. One was the commander of the Imperial Army and had guarded the imperial capital for almost seven years. The other had saved Her Highness Qin Yin's life twice with wisdom and bravery. Moreover, he had cultivated a tenth grade Green Gourd Martial Spirit to such a level that it could actually surpass the first grade God Binding Shackles. How powerful was this?
The showdown between these two people was most likely what everyone expected.
At this time, Qin Yin suddenly stood up and said respectfully: "Imperial Father, Big Brother Yu has been fighting hard and has consumed a lot of his battle qi and stamina. On the other hand, General Feng has been resting for so long. If we were to fight now, it would be a little unfair to Big Brother Yu. I suggest that we give Big Brother Yu some time to rest. After two hours, we will let General Feng and Big Brother Yu have a showdown."
Qin Jin happily nodded his head and smiled. "Xiao Yin is right. I approve it. The showdown between the two of them will be held two hours later."
"Thank you, Imperial Father!"
From afar, Lin Muyu also cast a grateful look at Qin Yin.
As for Qin Jin, when he saw that Feng Jixing, Lin Muyu, Chu Huaiying, and Qin Lei were in the top four, he heaved a sigh of relief. No matter which family the Dragon Talisman ended up in, these four people were all on his side. Lin Changqing and Murong Zhou might not be loyal to him.
… …
Lin Muyu calmly sat on the stone steps and continuously circulated the Forging Dragon Bone Remnant Scroll to calm the surging battle qi in her body. She had consumed a lot of energy in the head-on fight with Qin Lei. If she were to fight now, she might not be a match for Feng Jixing at his peak. After all, Feng Jixing's self-created Wind Blade Technique was extremely domineering. Even at her peak, she might not be able to deal with it, let alone in a situation where she had consumed a lot of battle qi.
Feng Jixing hugged his Windcutter Blade and sat beside Lin Muyu with a smile. He said: "Yu, if you admit defeat, Big Brother Feng will treat you to a month's worth of beef and flower buns. How about it? Deal?"
Lin Muyu narrowed her eyes. "Don't give me that. I won't fall for it."
Feng Jixing smiled and said: "Yu, what do you think of Her Highness Yin's appearance? Is she number one in the world? "
"This …"
Lin Muyu's heart wavered slightly, but she knew that it was Feng Jixing's trick. She calmed her heart and said: "Uh, Her Highness' appearance is still okay …"
"Hmph, still not falling for it …"
Feng Jixing grinned and said: "Yu, if you were to choose, who would you marry? Her Highness Qin Yin, Princess Xi, and the beauty Chu Yao, who would you choose? "
Lin Muyu glanced at him and said: "Don't give me that, I won't choose any of them!"
"Really? That's a pity … "
Feng Jixing whistled and laid down on the stone steps beside Lin Muyu. He didn't look like a commander of the Imperial Army at all. Instead, he looked more like a hoodlum. He lowered his voice and laughed: "I think you should marry both Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi. One will be the elder, and the other will be the younger. What do you think?"
"Pfft …"
Lin Muyu finally laughed and stopped circulating her energy. She said, "Big Brother Feng, you're so scheming … Ahem, is the first place of this Sword Duel Tournament really that important to you?"
"Of course it's important!" Feng Jixing revealed his true colors: "The first place will receive a reward of 100,000 Jin Yin coins. The second place will only receive 30,000 Jin Yin coins. It's not even enough to buy a big house in the capital …"
Chu Huaiyin, who was cultivating to heal his injuries, opened his eyes and asked: "What do you want a big house for?"
"How can I marry without a big house?" Feng Jixing's eyes widened.
"You don't have a wife …" Chu Huaiyin laughed.
Feng Jixing pulled out his Windcutter and raised his eyebrows. "Chu Huaiyin, don't say anything else. Fight me one-on-one if you're a man!"
Chu Huaiyin grinned and continued to cultivate to heal his injuries. He said: "Yu, don't fall for his trick. Three years ago, in order to get first place in the Sword Competition, this guy actually invited me to drink wine the day before. He said he wanted to drink rice wine, but in the end, it was all strong alcohol. He even found a few girls from Spring Fragrance Brothel to drink with him. I was defeated by him after I was drunk. Hmph, how disgraceful …"
Lin Muyu held back her laughter. "Since that's the case, I definitely can't lose to Brother Feng. I also want a big house and a wife …"
Feng Jixing held back his laughter. "It's really unfortunate to know you guys."
Chu Huaiyin pouted. "If those girls in the capital knew that you, Feng Jixing, are like this, I'd like to see if they would still be interested in you. Hmph hmph …"
Lin Muyu secretly laughed but didn't say anything.
…
Two hours passed quickly. It was time for the competition.
Lin Muyu silently circulated her battle energy and found that it had recovered to 90%. She could almost fight with Feng Jixing now!
