Chapter 52: Showing Off

Luo Tong smiled at Gong Xiang and prepared to announce the result.

At this time, a sound of wind breaking through the air came from behind, and Luo Tong was stunned.

Turning around, Lin Mu was flying from the front of the hall. Lin Mu used all his strength to stimulate his spiritual power and was very fast.

Gong Xiang smiled bitterly, and saw the victory in his hand, but at the last moment, a turning point occurred.

Lin Mu said apologetically: "I am late, please forgive me, senior brothers."

Luo Tong smiled and said to Lin Mu: "It's okay. I came in time. I almost announced the result just now."

Lin Mu cast a grateful look at him, turned around and said to Gong Xiang: "I'm really sorry to trouble you to wait for so long."

Gong Xiang laughed and said: "Junior brother, what are you talking about? I think you have something urgent and you were delayed on the road. This moment of time is not a problem."

At this time, Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

In order to repair the damage to his consciousness, Lin Mu had been practicing the "Star Refining Spirit Art" in the Xuanyue Space, completely immersed in it, forgetting the time.

When he woke up from his meditation, he suddenly remembered that he still had to participate in the competition.

Lin Mu hurriedly exited the Xuanyue Space and found that it was already daytime outside, with bright sunshine and a refreshing breeze.

Lin Mu didn't know how many days he had been practicing in the Xuanyue Space. He didn't care to rush back to the West Peak Courtyard. Lin Mu hurriedly performed the "Wind Control Technique" and used all his spiritual power to fly to Qianyu Peak.

Arriving in front of the Qianyu Hall, looking at the huge crowd, Lin Mu guessed that the competition had begun, and he didn't know which round he was in.

After asking the inner disciples who drew lots, Lin Mu knew that his competition had begun.

Lin Mu hurriedly flew to the 46th venue.

Finally, at this last moment, he arrived at the venue.

Seeing Lin Mu and Gong Xiang enter the venue, Luo Tong waved his hand to set up a ban, and a transparent light shield appeared out of thin air, surrounding the two.

Lin Mu nodded and smiled at Gong Xiang, and the competition was about to begin.

After experiencing the thrilling duel with Zhang Ruoxu, Lin Mu realized that he must not show mercy when facing the enemy. Otherwise, the competition that could have been won may be overturned by the opponent at the last moment.

At the beginning of this competition, Lin Mu quickly cast a spell, and his ten fingers were phantoms.

Three fireballs were fired from Lin Mu's hands and whistled towards Gong Xiang.

It was the "Red Fire Tactics" three times in a row!

Gong Xiang's face sank. He wanted to test each other before really starting the duel. Unexpectedly, Lin Mu's cultivation was lower than his, but he was so impatient and took the lead.

Gong Xiang was a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator. He was the opponent with the highest cultivation that Lin Mu had encountered since participating in the competition. He must be very capable, and his strength should not be underestimated.

In a tit-for-tat with Lin Mu, Gong Xiang was not inferior, and he also cast a spell quickly, and three water bombs were fired from his hands.

Three consecutive shots of the Water Bomb Technique!

Water overcomes fire, a head-on confrontation.

The water bomb and the fireball met in the air and exploded.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sparks flew everywhere, water splashed everywhere.

They were evenly matched, evenly matched.

Although Gong Xiang's cultivation was one level higher than Lin Mu's, Lin Mu's Red Fire Technique had already reached the fourth level, and its power was slightly better than the general Fireball Technique.

Therefore, Lin Mu's Red Fire Technique was evenly matched against Gong Xiang's Water Bomb Technique, and they were not at a disadvantage.

Gong Xiang was a dual-element spiritual root of water and soil, and specialized in water-based magic.

Seeing that the three consecutive shots of the Water Bomb Technique could not do anything to Lin Mu, Gong Xiang changed the magic formula in his hand, and a silver water arrow rushed straight towards Lin Mu.

Water Arrow Technique!

Lin Mu smiled slightly, not showing any weakness, and made a magic formula with both hands, and a small golden sword confronted it head-on and shot straight over.

"Geng Jin Jue"!

The golden sword, extremely sharp, pierced through the middle of the silver water arrow, splitting the water arrow in half, and the water arrow immediately turned into two balls of water and fell to the ground. The golden sword was intact and still flew towards Gong Xiang.

Gong Xiang was shocked. He had always been confident in his water-based magic.

Especially the "Water Arrow Technique"!

When practicing with others on weekdays, Gong Xiang had tested the power of his "Water Arrow Technique" and the result made him very satisfied. His "Water Arrow Technique" was on par with the low-level gold-based magic "Vajra Cutter", and was not inferior at all.

In his opinion, the long-renowned gold-based magic was just like this.

But at this moment, he truly realized the unparalleled lethality of the gold-based magic.

The "Water Arrow Technique" that he was proud of was ruthlessly pierced through the middle by the opponent's "Geng Jin Jue" and split into two.

Gong Xiang was awed, knowing that if he didn't use his best skills, he would never win the competition.

With a flash of determination in his eyes, Gong Xiang suddenly used all his strength to activate his spiritual power, his hands were full of phantoms, and his face flushed.

In an instant, three water arrows formed in his hands. The silver-white water arrows flashed colorful light in the sun, which was extremely beautiful. Gong Xiang squinted his eyes and looked at the three water arrows, knowing that these water arrows were not only beautiful, but also deadly.

The three water arrows formed a straight line and flew straight towards Lin Mu.

It was his trump card, "Water Arrow Technique" three consecutive shots!

The difficulty of performing the Water Arrow Technique is at least twice that of the Water Bullet Technique. It is not easy for Gong Xiang to perform three consecutive Water Arrow Techniques.

There are not many disciples in the entire sect who can do this.

The three water arrows were extremely fast, and they rushed straight to Lin Mu with a sharp sound of wind.

The first water arrow first encountered Lin Mu's golden sword. This time, the golden sword finally ran out of power and failed to cut the water arrow. But the gold force was the most powerful. Even if it was no longer powerful, it did not let the first water arrow succeed. It exploded directly in the air and blew up the first water arrow.

The remaining two water arrows, with their remaining power, attacked Lin Mu with amazing momentum.

Lin Mu did not dare to be careless. He tried his best to activate the spiritual power in his body. He quickly made hand gestures with both hands, and two consecutive golden swords flew out of his hands and rushed to the two water arrows.

Two consecutive shots of the Gengjin Jue were Lin Mu's current limit.

Swish!

Swish!

Two consecutive noises were heard. The power of the water arrows was incomparable to that of the golden sword. The first golden sword broke the remaining two water arrows.

The remaining golden sword followed closely and shot towards Gong Xiang's chest.

Gong Xiang had no time to react, and quickly used the "Wind Control Technique" to move three meters away, trying to avoid this attack and then counterattack.

Just standing three meters away on the left, Gong Xiang was ready to use the spell to counterattack.

However, before he could use the spell in his hand, he was shocked to find that the golden sword he had dodged turned in the air and attacked him again.

Because the distance was too close, Gong Xiang had no time to dodge.

The golden sword shot straight at Gong Xiang's throat. Gong Xiang did not react at all, standing there, at a loss.

The golden sword suddenly stopped half a foot away from Gong Xiang's throat and floated quietly in the air.

The sharp killing aura made Gong Xiang's liver and gallbladder burst. An inexplicable chill came from the golden sword, penetrating his skin and going straight into his heart.

Lin Mu controlled the direction of the golden sword. The golden sword only stayed in front of Gong Xiang's throat for a moment, then turned and flew back along Gong Xiang's neck, piercing straight into the bluestone ground, piercing a small hole more than a foot deep in the bluestone ground.

Gong Xiang closed his eyes, and his clothes were soaked with cold sweat on his back.

At that moment, the feeling of impending death made him palpitate inexplicably.

Gong Xiang opened his eyes, still in shock, and said in a trembling voice: "I give up."
