Chapter 334 Competition Layout

The sword light flashed, confusing and surging like a tide.

The onlookers rushed to the fifth platform, and in an instant, the fifth platform was surrounded. Outside the platform, tens of thousands of cultivators, three layers inside and three layers outside, densely packed, everywhere in the sky and underground.

Lin Mu challenges Chu Zhu!

This will be a very interesting battle, no one wants to miss it, even Jindan stage cultivators want to see it.

Although everyone clearly understands that Lin Mu and Chu Zhu are not on the same level, and their strengths are very different, this cannot stop everyone's enthusiasm. This battle is not just a battle between Lin Mu and Chu Zhu! There are too many connotations in it!

For the spiritual and quiet stage cultivators, Lin Mu's strength is undoubtedly one of the top few. The half-step golden elixir phenomenon, one in ten thousand, appeared on Lin Mu, which is enough to explain everything. Chu Zhu's cultivation is already in the middle stage of the golden elixir, and his strength is unmatched. It is not something that spiritual and quiet stage cultivators can contend with.

But most of the Lingji cultivators still held a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and they were looking forward to what Lin Mu could do.

At least, they had to let the Jindan cultivators know that the Lingji cultivators were not to be despised and trampled at will.

The Lingji cultivators could also stir up a wave!

A few powerful cultivators were extremely calm and stared at the stage.

In this competition, Lin Mu was definitely a strong roadblock for all cultivators to reach the top three. Some powerful cultivators did not want to miss this opportunity and wanted to see if they could see some flaws and weaknesses of Lin Mu through this competition so that they could be more targeted and flexibly respond in the future.

In the eyes of these Lingji peak cultivators, this competition was simply a child's play!

They knew the gap between Lingji cultivators and Jindan cultivators, especially the middle Jindan cultivators, and Lin Mu had no hope of winning at all!

Unlike these Lingji cultivators, many Jindan cultivators were not just here to watch the fun.

This competition is the last battle between Yinxin and Wanjian Sect. Win or lose depends on this one move.

This is definitely a crucial battle!

If Lin Mu wins, the fifth peak will naturally belong to Yinxin, and no one else will want to snatch it.

But everyone understands that Lin Mu's hope of winning is too slim, or even impossible!

Once Lin Mu loses, the fifth peak will fall into the hands of Wanjian Sect.

The fifth platform!

This is the focus of all Jindan cultivators.

All Jindan cultivators know the resources represented by a fifth peak.

The head of Wanjian Sect has been seriously injured and lost his combat power. If the fifth peak is obtained by Wanjian Sect, someone will definitely go up to fight for it!

The heads of all the major and small sects are also looking forward to it, wanting to get a piece of the pie. There are even a few heads of small sects who have secretly begun to unite and are ready to move.

On the high platform, Chu Zhu and Lin Mu stood opposite each other, looking relaxed.

Facing Lin Mu, he was full of confidence, but he did not look down on him or be careless.

Qian Xiong's previous experience was still vivid in his mind, and he would definitely not repeat the same mistake.

Although he was much stronger than Lin Mu, and even killing Lin Mu was not a difficult task. But he did not dare to take this battle lightly. This was not only about his own reputation, but also about the interests of the sect!

Before the competition began, Chu Zhu already felt a wave of pressure.

This pressure naturally did not come from Lin Mu, but from the outside world, especially Yin Xin!

For some reason, in this battle between him and Lin Mu, Wushuang Zhenren did not set up any restrictions!

This means that the competition on the field may be interfered with at any time!

Yin Xin attached great importance to Lin Mu, and for him, he even killed Du Lan to establish his prestige. Even now, he has become a sword-testing stone for honing Lin Mu's strength!

In this competition, he could only defeat Lin Mu, and he didn't dare to kill Lin Mu at all. He didn't even have the courage to seriously injure him!

He still remembered the tragic death of Du Lan vividly and couldn't forget it.

Lin Mu was just a cultivator in the Lingji period, and he was already in the middle stage of the Golden Core, with a promising future. In Yin Xin's heart, Lin Mu was naturally extremely important, and he could even kill him because of Lin Mu! But in his opinion, he was really at a disadvantage by comparing him with Lin Mu!

In this competition, he only needed to defeat Lin Mu and take down the fifth-ranked peak. He didn't need to use all his strength or cause extra trouble. If possible, he even hoped that Lin Mu would still be safe and sound at the end of the competition!

Lin Mu stood opposite Chu Zhu, his heart surging, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

He had no chance of winning against Chu Zhu!

Chu Zhu's strength was extremely powerful, and it was completely different from Qian Xiong who was killed by Han Feng before. Whether it is cultivation, flying sword, or sword skills, Chu Zhu is better than Qian Xiong, and Chu Zhu will not be careless at all. Han Feng used two consecutive sword skills and was seriously injured before he killed Qian Xiong.

He could not compare with Han Feng in sword skills, and Chu Zhu was much stronger than Qian Xiong. Compared with the two, he had no hope of winning!

If it were normal days, he would not come to participate in this competition.

But it is different now.

Before the competition began, Yin Xin had already told him to participate in the competition. Now, the competition has entered the most important stage, and he can no longer retreat. Once he fails, this fifth-ranked peak will fall into the hands of the Wanjian Sect.

This is what Lin Mu does not want to see.

This peak is extremely important to him.

He, his parents, and Shitou are all very ordinary in qualifications. If they want to condense the golden elixir, it will cost a lot. Now they are in urgent need of spiritual stones. The plan to open a shop was originally very good, but because the demon clan prohibited cultivators from entering the misty forest to hunt demons, the business of Linwufang was greatly hit and extremely deserted, and he could not earn enough spiritual stones at all.

Now, the only hope is the top ten peaks!

Every peak, especially the top-ranked peaks, has crisscrossing spiritual veins and a large amount of spiritual stones. It can even be said that as long as he can fight hard to take this peak, he and his parents, Shitou and others will not have to worry about the impact of golden elixir resources in the future!

In this competition, he must do his best and fight hard!

Even if he fails in the end, he has no regrets.

He can accept failure, but he won't allow himself to admit defeat without trying!

"You are quite strong!" Chu Zhu suddenly said, "But only among the spiritual solitude cultivators. In the eyes of the Jindan cultivators, you are just a cultivator with potential, but potential is only potential, not strength! You will definitely lose this competition!"

Chu Zhu looked at Lin Mu with a smile on his face, "Why don't you step down and admit defeat now? It will be good for both you and me. I will save myself some trouble, and you will also avoid the risk of injury, and everyone will be happy!"

Lin Mu looked at Chu Zhu with a smile on his face, saying, "I didn't expect to win this competition. You also know that I was forced to come on stage by Elder Yinxin. If I go down now, it will hurt his face. How can he face the leaders of other major sects? Therefore, no matter whether I win or lose, I will fight with you."

Chu Zhu's face was still smiling, and he seemed to hear a different meaning from Lin Mu's words.

He did not interrupt, but set up a ban to cover the two of them, and waited for Lin Mu's next words.

Lin Mu's smile did not diminish: "But as you said, I am not your opponent at all. Why don't we put on a show for Elder Yinxin to see! You don't have to rush to defeat me. I will show all my strength and make Elder Yinxin satisfied with my performance, and then I will step down and admit defeat. What do you think?"

Chu Zhu suddenly realized, and his smile became even bigger.

He completely understood what Lin Mu said.

If Lin Mu wanted to condense the golden elixir, he would naturally rely on Yinxin's cultivation. Yinxin was not stupid. He only saw Lin Mu's potential. If Lin Mu could not show a convincing performance, he would naturally not spend resources to cultivate him in the future. He had had the same thoughts and practices as Lin Mu at the beginning, so he understood it very well.

Chu Zhu smiled and nodded: "I promise you. Moreover, I will cooperate with you. When the time is right, I will deliberately show weakness to set off you. After you have shown all your strength, you will step down and admit defeat. We will each take what we need and benefit each other!"

Lin Mu also smiled and nodded: "Let's start!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he patted his storage bag and immediately sacrificed the Xuanjin Sword.

Chu Zhu agreed to his request, and he had taken the first step!

In this competition, he will eat away at Chu Zhu little by little until he wins!

Chu Zhu looked relaxed, waved his hand casually, and the ban suddenly dissipated. With a thought, he sacrificed a green flying sword.

Lin Mu urged his spiritual power, and the Xuanjin Sword flashed with golden light and flew towards Chu Zhu.

The sword light was bright, the sword energy was overflowing, and it was sharp and unmatched.

Sword move, the sword energy was Huajin!

Chu Zhu urged his spiritual power, and the green flying sword flew forward immediately.

The sword energy was Huajin, and the attack power was extremely strong.

Among the cultivators in the Spiritual Silence Stage, it is indeed extremely powerful, and very few cultivators can perform such a powerful sword move. But for Chu Zhu, this sword move can not pose any threat to him at all.

Chu Zhu's mind moved, and the green flying sword and the black gold sword suddenly hit each other.

Ding!

The green light was diffused, the golden light splashed, and the two flying swords suddenly separated.

The black gold sword suddenly flew backwards far away, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lin Mu was at a disadvantage.

The pupils of the cultivators in the Spiritual Silence Stage who were watching the battle suddenly shrank.

Although Lin Mu's sword move did not cause any effect, and even fell into a disadvantage, everyone also saw that the attack power of Lin Mu's sword move was absolutely extraordinary!

The cultivators in the Jindan Stage were extremely powerful, and the pressure of a spiritual consciousness was enough to intimidate the cultivators in the Spiritual Silence Stage.

Not only was Lin Mu not intimidated by Chu Zhu, but he dared to attack actively!

Chu Zhu was so powerful, with a mid-stage Jindan cultivation base, a magic weapon-level flying sword, and sword attainments far superior to Lin Mu, but under this attack, Lin Mu was only slightly inferior. Many peak Lingji cultivators were thinking, if it were them, they would be defeated in this first attack!

The attack did not work, so Lin Mu immediately changed his strategy.

He slapped his storage bag, and dozens of talismans suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Explosive Flame Talisman"!

Without any hesitation, he immediately activated these talismans at the same time.

Dozens of "Explosive Flame Talismans" flew towards Chu Zhu.

The flames shook the sky, and the whole sky was red.

There were bursts of explosions, and the "Explosive Flame Talismans" burst out together, and the sea of ​​fire raged, with extremely powerful power!

Chu Zhu was engulfed by the sea of ​​fire!
