Chapter 877 Hidden Strength

The elder in white waved his hands and kept casting spells.

The light flickered, and the ancient ban around the battle stage burst open.

As soon as the ancient ban was opened, Lin Mu heard the thunderous discussion outside, all rushing towards him.

"Lin Mu actually killed Yu Lin with one sword!"

"A cultivator in the Fusion Stage didn't even resist and was killed!"

"How strong is he?"

"It feels like a dream, it's too unreal!"

"He killed a cultivator in the Fusion Stage so easily, is he still a cultivator in the Return to Void Stage? This is totally impossible!"

"It's impossible for a cultivator in the late Fusion Stage to kill Yu Lin so easily like him, right?"

"I'm confused!"

The discussion was like a tide, all pouring into Lin Mu's ears.

Lin Mu had already expected such a big sensation.

From the moment he decided to kill Yu Lin, he had already anticipated the current situation.

If he succeeded by taking Yulin by surprise and attacking him by surprise, this is barely reasonable. However, he killed Yulin's Nascent Soul right after that. This is definitely not something that can be done by Yulin's carelessness.

This is real strength!

He exposed his real strength in the first match. Lin Mu did not plan to do this at the beginning.

Once his real strength is exposed, every battle will be extremely difficult. Everyone will go all out to deal with him and will not be careless.

It will be even more difficult for him to be in the top ten!

But if he does not kill Yulin, he will feel uneasy.

Yulin's threat to him really made him feel afraid.

The real strength of a mid-stage combined master like Yulin is not as weak as it looks now. He has never had the opportunity, or it is too late to display his real strength. His body was destroyed. He lost the first round of the competition. What will he use to fight with others next?

His vitality was greatly damaged, and he was busy recovering it and looking for a body, so he had no time to participate in the competition.

It can be said that in today's battle, he ruined all of Yulin's future.

It was completely ruined.

In this case, how could Yulin not hate him?

He must hate him to the bone.

With such a powerful enemy hiding in the dark all the time, Lin Mu was very worried.

After weighing the pros and cons, he had to choose to kill Yulin now.

Recalling the dispute with Yulin, Lin Mu himself was very emotional.

At the beginning, Yulin took the initiative to ridicule him a few times, and he was unwilling to endure and tolerate, so he fought back a few times, which aroused Yulin's jealousy. Relying on the fact that he had two mineral veins, he could choose his opponent at will, so he chose him as his opponent.

Until then, he had never thought of killing Yulin.

Just because of a few verbal disputes, he suddenly killed someone, and he was a cultivator in the middle stage of the fusion. He was not so cruel and bloodthirsty, nor did he have such strong courage.

With his strength, it was far from possible to kill a cultivator in the middle stage of the fusion at will.

But since it happened, there must be a reason.

On the battle stage, Yulin was arrogant and condescending. As soon as he got on the stage, he threatened to kill him.

People have no intention of hurting wolves, but wolves have the intention of killing.

In anger, Lin Mu made a decisive move. With one sword, he chopped Yulin off the battle stage, destroyed Yulin's physical body, and even chopped his Yuanying apart, making his figure hazy and about to collapse.

Things turned around like this, and Yulin's cultivation reached the middle stage of the fusion, which was even more unacceptable.

Fortunately, he dared to threaten him outside the battle stage and in the ancient forbidden area.

At this point, everything was out of his control.

Lin Mu had no choice but to kill him to eliminate future troubles.

Looking at the cause and effect, Lin Mu has a clear conscience, and he believes that he has done nothing wrong.

The culprit of all this is Yu Lin himself.

If he had not ridiculed and mocked him at the beginning, if he had not chosen him as his opponent, if he had not threatened to kill him as soon as he came on stage, things would not have progressed to this point.

From beginning to end, Lin Mu felt that he was doing a passive counterattack.

However, he was very lucky that he had strong strength and knew some psychological tactics, so the tragedy did not happen.

Otherwise, he would have been humiliated and tortured by Yu Lin in many ways, and then killed by his sword.

Who would know?

Such a result would be taken for granted by all the onlookers.

Who would sigh for him and sigh for him?

Even if they sighed, what's the use?

The thousands of onlookers were excited, and the excitement reached its peak after Lin Mu flew out of the battle stage.

Lin Mu was unusually calm.

Since it has already happened, the next step is to rely on one's true strength to fight for it.

Anyway, he will reveal his true strength sooner or later.

No matter how much he hides it, it won't last long.

After winning the first round, he could at least get a vein of acceptable quality.

Of course, this little bit of gain was far from satisfying his appetite.

If he could become the top ten, he could get ten veins and choose the veins he wanted.

If he could become the top three, he could still get the best veins.

If he became the first, he could not only get twenty veins, but also choose one of the best veins and become an elder of the Mineral Vein Alliance unconditionally.

Lin Mu knew his own strength.

At his current level, it was almost hopeless to defeat all the fusion cultivators and become the first.

But he still had great aspirations for the top ten.

As long as he could win five games in a row and become the top sixteen, he would play against the fifteen cultivators in a round-robin manner and be ranked according to the results.

In other words, there was still a chance of failure. Even if he met the strongest few and lost, it didn't matter. As long as he could win against the remaining people, he would have a great chance of becoming the top ten.

The most important thing is the first five rounds of competition.

Can't lose a single game!

Defeating Yulin is just a good start. The road ahead is still long and more difficult.

The further you go, the stronger the remaining cultivators will be. If you are not careful, you will meet the strongest ones.

Once you meet these people in the first five rounds, it is very likely that this mineral vein competition will come to an end.

Luck is something that cannot be predicted.

Only strength is the most reliable.

Lin Mu secretly decided that only by nurturing and tempering the Sui Xin Sword into a peerless sword, he would have an 80% chance of becoming one of the top ten!

Even if he meets those strongest ones, he is sure to win!

After the first round of competition, there will be three days of rest and recovery time. After the second round of competition, there will be five days of rest time. The further you go, the longer the rest time will be.

If he can successfully advance to the top 16 and successfully nurture and refine the Sui Xin Sword to the level of a peerless spiritual treasure, he will not have to worry about becoming the top 10.

The Sui Xin Sword is all hope!

Let's see if he can nurture and refine the Sui Xin Sword to the level of a peerless spiritual treasure next.

As the sword flashed, Lin Mu came to Gu Zhenhao's side.

"How?" Lin Mu put away his thoughts and said with a smile, "I didn't lie to you, did I? Within three moves, I defeated Yulin."

"You are too modest!" Gu Zhenhao had recovered from the shock and said hurriedly, "One move defeated Yulin, and destroyed his physical body, and almost even his Nascent Soul was disintegrated. This is not as simple as defeating, this is clearly a crushing! A complete crushing!"

"I didn't expect that everything would go so smoothly." Lin Mu said seriously.

"How did you do it?" Gu Zhenhao couldn't help asking.

Lin Mu glanced at the crowd that kept looking at him, and stopped sending a message. He deliberately let go and said, "When I just stepped onto the stage, he humiliated me and threatened to kill me. After I fought back, he was furious and made a bet with me, saying that as long as I could survive thirty moves under his hands, he would spare my life."

Hearing Lin Mu's voice, many people couldn't help but listen with their ears tilted.

"What if you can't survive?" Gu Zhenhao immediately understood what Lin Mu meant and asked in cooperation.

"If I can't survive, he will kill me." Lin Mu said angrily, "If I lose, I will have to kneel in front of him and kowtow to beg for mercy. If he is in a good mood, he can consider not killing me and leaving my Nascent Soul."

"With your strength, how can you survive thirty moves under his hands?" Gu Zhenhao asked worriedly.

"I also know that it's impossible, so I provoked him and told him not to mobilize the power of heaven and earth if he has the ability. He was extremely arrogant and agreed very readily." Lin Mu said with a smile.

"Then what?" Gu Zhenhao glanced at the densely packed cultivators who were surrounding here and asked.

"Then I used the sword domain, urged the flying sword, and slashed at him." Lin Mu said with a smile, "I didn't expect that he didn't mobilize the power of heaven and earth, and he was so weak. I chopped him off the battle stage with one sword, and even his body was destroyed."

As soon as these words came out, there were bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

"No wonder he is so strong, it turns out that he has already comprehended the sword domain!"

"I thought he had been hiding his cultivation, but I didn't expect that he was actually a cultivator in the Return to Void Stage!"

"He comprehended the sword domain in the Return to Void Stage, this talent is too strong! It is simply beyond people's imagination!"

"It's really despairing! He has an extraordinary talent for cultivation, and he is also good at using psychological tactics. Who can be his opponent?"

"That's right, if Yulin hadn't been careless and didn't mobilize the power of heaven and earth, no matter how strong Lin Mu was, it would be impossible to kill him. I'm afraid it would be difficult to even win."

"This victory is 70% luck, plus 30% strength, and the result is 10% miracle!"

"Yulin died so unjustly!"

"It's his fault for being careless, not others!"

"You can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the sea. A cultivator in the Return to Void Stage can also kill a cultivator in the Fusion Stage, and he is not an ordinary cultivator in the Fusion Stage."

"I heard that the cause of the incident was that Yulin mocked Lin Mu and then he died in Lin Mu's hands."

"It's what he deserves! With this precedent, let's see if the cultivators in the Fusion Stage dare to look down on us like ants in the future."

The cultivators in the Return to Void Stage were very excited, and they all felt proud.

It was as if they were Lin Mu, who had just killed a powerful cultivator in the Fusion Stage and was very proud.

Listening to the noisy discussions around him, Lin Mu showed a faint smile on his face.

Instead of letting others find out about him, have various misunderstandings and exaggerations about him, and be more wary of him, he might as well tell it half-truthfully himself.

It was just as he expected.

When he told the truth, many people thought that although he had a great talent for comprehending the sword realm, he was able to kill Yulin only by luck.

This was exactly what he wanted.
