Chapter 20 The Battle of Life and Death Begins (1/2)

In the square in front of Qianyu Hall.

Thousands of people gathered in a circle, leaving a space in the middle, which was a platform more than two meters high.

This platform was the duel venue for this life-and-death duel.

There was a crowd of people under the platform, and the voices were noisy and everyone was talking.

At this moment, the two people who participated in the life-and-death duel had not yet arrived, but the people below could not wait and began to guess who would survive and who would die in this life-and-death duel.

Among so many people, most people believed that Ma Huayuan would definitely be the winner, because his cultivation was obviously higher than Lin Mu. There were also a few people who were lucky and unreasonable, believing that Lin Mu would definitely win, and they reasoned and presented facts, saying that Ma Huayuan was beaten to the ground by Lin Mu last time.

Before the two main players appeared, the people below were already arguing fiercely.

Some people even argued so hard that they almost fought. But the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall who were flying around the platform appeared in time to prevent the fight. As soon as the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall left, the two glared at each other again.

Gu Chen arrived early, and he grabbed a relatively front position, where he could clearly see everything that happened on the high platform. He also wanted to see whether the alchemy genius in his eyes could create a miracle and survive from death.

Amid the calls of the crowd, one of the two duelists, Ma Huayuan, who provoked the incident, emerged from the crowd and slowly climbed onto the high platform in the contemptuous eyes of thousands of people.

Ma Huayuan no longer cared about people's contempt. He felt that as long as he won this life-and-death battle, all contempt would disappear.

Moreover, he had the capital to be confident. During the three months of confinement, he was recuperating in the back mountain while practicing seriously. What made him happy was that his cultivation, which had been stagnant for a year, broke through again and reached the eighth level of Qi Refining. Even his own trick, "Fireball Technique", three consecutive shots, could be done four consecutive shots after hard practice. Moreover, the power of each fireball was better than before.

As soon as Ma Huayuan appeared on the high platform, the discussion below became more intense, almost exploding.

"Ma Huayuan, this scourge, has actually cultivated to the eighth level of Qi Refining." A cultivator who had already cultivated to the ninth level of Qi Refining saw Ma Huayuan's cultivation at a glance and exclaimed.

Someone immediately responded: "Yes, he has a sure win now. Lin Mu has five elements of spiritual roots, and his cultivation has not improved at all in three months. He is doomed to die now."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted a chorus of approval.

"Ma Huayuan is too insidious."

"He is a scum!"

There was a lot of cursing below.

Some people sympathized with Lin Mu and sighed: "Why mess with this villain when you can mess with anyone else."

His friend advised: "Why sigh? It's just a scene. Who lives and who dies has nothing to do with us?"

But some people remained silent and watched everything coldly.

Ma Huayuan stood on the high platform, looking down at the crowd below, feeling quite proud. He had been in the sect for more than ten years, but he was unknown. Today, he was considered to be in the limelight.

After one stick of incense, Lin Mu, another party involved in the duel, still did not show up.

Ma Huayuan could not wait on the high platform, and he cursed: "Lin Mu, that kid, is he afraid to come? What a coward!"

The people below began to be unwilling when they heard it.

We have been waiting here for more than two hours. You said you would not come, so you did not take us seriously. We will not let you go no matter what.

In fact, Lin Mu could choose not to come. But he would be severely punished. After all, a life-and-death fight is not a joke. If he regrets it in advance, he will be imprisoned for life and will never be free again.

Once he gets on the high platform, it will be a fight to the death!

Someone followed and cursed: "This kid is too disloyal. If he didn't dare to come, he shouldn't have tried to show off and signed the life and death contract. Really..."

Before he said the word "disappointment", someone beside him pulled him and said, "Don't talk, Lin Mu is here."

The man hurriedly said, "Where is it, where is it?"

The man pointed at Lin Mu who was walking towards the platform and said, "Isn't it there?"

The crowd automatically separated a path. Lin Mu looked calm, without sadness or joy. He just walked through the crowd calmly and climbed onto the platform step by step.

Everyone looked at him with different eyes. Some were worried, some were excited, some were gloating, and some looked calm, and it was hard to tell what they were thinking.

As soon as Lin Mu stepped onto the platform, the cheers below continued.

As long as he stepped onto the platform, it meant that one person would definitely die. Even, the two would die together.

The cheers below were naturally because this excitement was inevitable and imperative. This would be a good seasoning in their boring cultivation life.

Not everyone was there to watch the fun.

At least, Zhang Ruoxu was not.

When Zhang Ruoxu heard that Lin Mu and Ma Huayuan were going to fight to the death, he felt that Lin Mu was too reckless. This duel was like an egg hitting a rock, and there was no hope of winning. He had a good impression of Lin Mu. This man was serious about his work, humble and polite. It was a pity that he died for no reason.

But when he saw Lin Mu standing on the platform, he was shocked!

Qi Refining Level 7!

Lin Mu's cultivation has advanced to Qi Refining Level 7!

As a person with four elements, he deeply understands how difficult it is to improve his cultivation. For a person with five elements like Lin Mu, the cultivation speed is even slower. He opened his eyes wide and confirmed three times in a row, and found that Lin Mu had indeed advanced to Qi Refining Level 7.

How did he do it? Zhang Ruoxu only had this question in his mind now.

Lin Mu stood calmly on the platform, and the cheers and discussions below seemed to be ignored by him.

Even when he heard people below say that Ma Huayuan had advanced to Qi Refining Level 8, he did not panic. Because at this moment, panicking is useless, and now he can only fight to the death!

He ignored Ma Huayuan's angry eyes and complacency. Lin Mu calmed down and concentrated, slowly adjusting the spiritual power in his body.

A figure slowly floated up from the stage and landed on the high platform, standing between Lin Mu and Ma Huayuan.

This person was the chief disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall, Luo Chen.

Luo Chen held the life and death contract that the two had signed in his hand, and read it out loud in public: "Ma Huayuan and Lin Mu, outer disciples of Qianyu Sword Sect, have too deep hatred and cannot be reconciled. Today, we have decided to fight a life and death battle. Regardless of winning or losing, we will only fight for life and death."

After Luo Chen finished reading, he put away the life and death contract and said loudly: "I declare that the life and death battle has officially begun."

Luo Chen flew to the periphery of the high platform and urged his spiritual power. The ban on the high platform was activated. A huge transparent light cover covered the entire high platform, and the two people inside were completely blocked in it. Unless the life and death battle ended and one party died. Otherwise, neither of them could come out.

There was a sudden silence under the high platform. Everyone held their breath and stared closely at the every move of the two people on the stage, fearing that they would miss any important links.

Ma Huayuan had already seen Lin Mu's cultivation, but he didn't take it to heart. The eighth level of Qi Refining was stronger than the seventh level. He was confident that his four consecutive "Fireball Techniques" would be impossible for Lin Mu to resist.

Ma Huayuan smiled sinisterly and gritted his teeth and said, "Last time I was attacked by you and was seriously injured. Today, I want you to pay with blood!"

Lin Mu looked calm and said leisurely, "I have never had any grudges against you. It was you who pressed me step by step, so of course I had to fight back."

Ma Huayuan laughed and said, "You can be proud for a while now, but I will make you bleed on the spot later."

Lin Mu looked at him coldly and said nothing more.

The two of them pinched their fingers at the same time, one used the "Fireball Technique" and the other used the "Red Fire Technique". The next moment, the two fireballs whistled towards each other.

Everyone in the audience could see clearly that Lin Mu's fireball was obviously a circle smaller than Ma Huayuan's fireball.

The two fireballs collided in the air and dissipated at the same time.

This was just a tentative attack by the two. At present, it seems that Lin Mu is obviously at a disadvantage.

Gu Chen couldn't help but sweat for Lin Mu below. This is a genius in alchemy. Maybe he can count on him to make a fortune in the future. He really doesn't want Lin Mu to die.

Lin Mu naturally saw that his situation was not good.

He pinched the magic formula with his hands, and a huge cloud formed in front of him and floated in front of Lin Mu. Lin Mu kept chanting the magic formula, and one after another "Green Water Formula" was performed from his hands. The front of him suddenly turned white, and the rich water vapor surrounded him.

This move made many people below admire it.

"Use your own strengths to overcome the enemy's weaknesses. Lin Mu's move is really good." Qi Feng stepped on the flying sword and floated on the periphery of the high platform, nodding and praising.

Water-based magic naturally restrains fire-based magic. Now, Ma Huayuan was immediately in a dilemma.

In the white mist, Ma Huayuan found that he could not lock onto Lin Mu's figure. He had already cast the Fireball Technique, but he could not find Lin Mu.

Lin Mu kept moving in the white mist, but the Green Water Technique in his hand did not stop. These Green Water Techniques were not cast by Lin Mu with all his strength, but they were just in large quantities. After half a month of alchemy, Lin Mu's spiritual power recovered very quickly. While casting these Green Water Techniques consumed spiritual power, his spiritual power was constantly recovering.

After a while, the entire platform turned into a white expanse.

Everyone could not see the situation inside from the outside, and due to the isolation of the ban, they could not hear any sound. This made people feel itchy and eager to know what happened inside.

The two people on the stage did not disappoint everyone.

As soon as the white mist filled the entire platform, Ma Huayuan cast the Fireball Technique, and red light flashed inside, and fireballs danced wildly.

After Lin Mu performed the "Bi Shui Jue", he immediately sneaked near Ma Huayuan, preparing to perform the "Geng Jin Jue" to sneak attack and kill with one blow.

Ma Huayuan would naturally not make the same mistake as last time.

He flicked his ten fingers and fired four consecutive "Fireball Jue", as if it was free, and fireballs kept flying out of the white mist.

The white mist was slowly evaporated under the scorching flames.

The situation on the high platform gradually became clear, and the people below stared with wide eyes, wondering whether the two had won or lost.

When the white mist dissipated, everyone saw that Ma Huayuan was covering his right arm with his left hand, and blood was flowing from it. It was obvious that he was injured.

Lin Mu was not feeling well either. His clothes were burned to tatters and he looked miserable. But fortunately, he was not injured, which was considered to be a bit of an advantage.

As the white mist dissipated, Ma Huayuan sneered: "Don't struggle. Your white mist is useless to me. I can dry them all out with three consecutive "Fireball Techniques".

Lin Mu smiled slightly and did not comment.

Ma Huayuan had fallen into his trap. He desperately used the "Fireball Technique". Although he could dry out the white mist, the spiritual power consumed was at least twice that of Lin Mu.

It is easy to create but difficult to destroy!

Lin Mu knew that his weakness was the lack of spiritual power, so he set this trap and let Ma Huayuan jump in.

Ma Huayuan didn't know what was going on. He panted and smiled proudly: "What other tricks do you have? Use them quickly, otherwise you will have no chance."

Lin Mu didn't say anything to him. He kept using the magic formula in his hands and used the "Green Water Formula" again, and the white mist rose again.

He wanted to fight a war of attrition!

When Ma Huayuan's spiritual power is exhausted, he will naturally have a chance. If he blindly goes against him now, he will only suffer.

Ma Huayuan is not stupid. Seeing Lin Mu use the "Green Water Technique" again, he has guessed his intention. He no longer blindly acts recklessly. The four consecutive "Fireball Technique" is also very consuming for him. He started to hit Lin Mu one fireball after another, but all of them were blocked by the "Green Water Technique".

The two of them went from being consumed by Ma Huayuan alone to being consumed by each other. In this way, Lin Mu naturally suffered a loss, because the spiritual power in his body could not compare with Ma Huayuan.

With the "Green Water Technique" in his hand, Lin Mu's mind turned quickly and began to consider countermeasures.

Before he could think of a strategy, Ma Huayuan started to attack again. Now, Ma Huayuan attacked and Lin Mu defended, and Ma Huayuan took the lead.

In Ma Huayuan's view, Lin Mu had run out of tricks, so he decided to use a killer move to kill Lin Mu in one fell swoop.

Ma Huayuan used a "Fireball Technique" to attack, and Lin Mu quickly used a "Green Water Technique" to counter it.

Just after the "Green Water Technique" solved the fireball, four fireballs appeared in succession, whistling towards Lin Mu, and Lin Mu's heart trembled!

There was a burst of exclamations from the audience, all knowing that Lin Mu was in danger.

Some people even closed their eyes reluctantly, but secretly opened them again, wanting to see the result.

Four consecutive "Fireball Techniques"!

It was used perfectly, whether it was the timing, quantity or strength, it was impeccable!

Just as Lin Mu offset one fireball, four consecutive "Fireball Techniques" followed, catching Lin Mu off guard.

Lin Mu looked at the four fireballs flying quickly, knowing that he could not dodge this time, but he could not sit and wait for death.

The spell in his hand was not slow at all, and he quickly urged the spiritual power in his body to knock down a fireball with a "Red Fire Technique". Then he used his best to perform a "Bi Shui Jue". A huge white cloud flew towards the remaining three fireballs.

As soon as the cloud met the fireball, it quickly melted and barely blocked two fireballs. But the last one could not be blocked at all!

Lin Mu had just performed half of the spell in his hand. This time, he could not resist it no matter what.

It was inevitable to be seriously injured. Once injured, he would face Ma Huayuan's endless fatal attacks.

The last fireball hit Lin Mu's chest at a rapid speed.

This fireball was unavoidable!

There was a burst of exclamations below, and everyone was thinking, Lin Mu is finished now!
