Chapter 880: Cunning and Cunning

Outside the platform, the cultivators were packed.

"Why are there more cultivators watching today than in the first round?" Lin Mu asked, looking at the huge crowd.

"There is nothing to watch in the first round of competition. All cultivators are aware of their own strength. Unless the strength is very close, they generally won't fight hard." Gu Zhen explained with a big smile, "In the second round of competition, the top sixteen from the previous session will participate in the competition. The strength of the two hundred and forty cultivators who have advanced is obviously much better. The competition is really starting now."

"It turns out that there are so many ways to watch the fun." Lin Mu said with a smile.

"Today is the first time for the top sixteen to participate in the competition. Who doesn't want to see their style and learn a few tricks?" Gu Zhen said proudly, "Aspiring cultivators who want to break into the top sixteen and replace them need to observe their details carefully. Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in every battle!"

"According to what you said, I really have to observe them carefully today." Lin Mu said seriously, "These sixteen people are all my next opponents."

Gu Zhen glanced at Lin Mu, "Now you say you want to be in the top ten, I think it's natural. I'll tell you which battle stage the top sixteen cultivators will compete on. In addition, this conference has produced many dark horses, and their strength is also very strong, and there is hope to replace the original sixteen cultivators."

"Once the true strength is exposed, it is no longer a dark horse." Lin Mu said with a smile, "In this way, others will be on guard against you, and you can only rely on your true strength to win, and you can no longer use other means."

"That's what you said, but you are still the biggest dark horse in this mineral vein competition conference!" Gu Zhen said proudly, "Even I You can't see your real strength. You can kill Yulin with a sword, relying on it, it is not just luck! "" The unknown is the most terrible. " It depends on the strength of the opponent. If the luck is too bad, maybe this second round may be eliminated. "" Luck is really important, but the most important thing is the strength. "Gu Zhenhao said," You give me the ground. The effect is really incredible. "After the second round of tests, there will be five days of rest. You can make your flying sword warm and temperate. The overall strength must be a lot of improvement!" Lin Mu smiled and said, "Entering the fourth round, there is no problem." After a moment, the nine white-robed elders flew onto the platform, and the competition officially began.

"Gu Zhenhao, Ma Feng." The white-robed elder on the third battle platform called Gu Zhenhao's name.

"It's your turn to go on stage!" Lin Mu said with a smile.

Gu Zhenhao smiled and nodded repeatedly.

"It seems that you know this Ma Feng and understand his strength?" Lin Mu asked when he saw Gu Zhenhao's smiling face.

"I know him. A hundred years ago, he was defeated by me. At that time, I only won by a narrow margin, and he was not convinced of his defeat." Gu Zhenhao said with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet him again this time. In the past hundred years, I believe that my strength improvement will not be slower than his. If nothing unexpected happens, I should still be able to beat him. This time, I absorbed and refined the earth-grade condensing spirit beads you gave me, and the chance of winning is even greater!"

"It seems that you are really lucky. You actually met your former defeated opponent." Lin Mu said with a smile.

Gu Zhenhao greeted him and flew to the third battle platform.

The competition will start soon.

Lin Mu was originally in a very relaxed mood, and he looked at Gu Zhenhao's competition with a mentality of watching the fun, thinking that it was a sure win.

What he didn't expect was that at the beginning of the competition, Gu Zhenhao's opponent had the upper hand and firmly suppressed Gu Zhenhao.

Lin Mu was soon relieved, thinking that his opponent had lost to Gu Zhenhao a hundred years ago, holding his breath, and he showed all his strength when he came up, ready to take the lead. Gu Zhenhao was caught off guard and fell into a disadvantage for a while, which was normal. When he reacted, he could quickly save the situation with his strong strength and gradually take the initiative.

However, the scene he imagined never happened.

After half an incense stick, Gu Zhenhao was still behind, and his face also showed anxiety, looking very flustered.

Every response was also messy.

His opponent, on the contrary, became more and more powerful, and his attack was like mercury pouring on the ground, extremely smooth and gorgeous, attracting many onlookers to cheer.

Lin Mu was very worried about Gu Zhenhao.

But soon, his face was smiling.

He found that everyone was deceived.

He was deceived by Gu Zhenhao.

Gu Zhenhao seemed to be in a panic, but in fact, he was not hurt at all. He completely blocked every wave of the opponent's attack.

He did not actively attack, but he could still steadily block the opponent's attack. This kind of powerful strength must be at least one level higher than the opponent to achieve it.

Although Gu Zhenhao was very flustered, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel relieved after seeing his real thoughts.

"This old sly guy is really cunning!" Lin Mu couldn't help but laugh and curse in his heart.

The next situation was exactly as he expected.

After Gu Zhenhao's opponent launched a series of fierce attacks, his momentum gradually dropped, and his attacks also seemed weak.

Lin Mu thought that Gu Zhenhao could stage a gorgeous counterattack at this time.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhenhao still performed very hard, and did not explode in one fell swoop to take down his opponent, but saved the situation little by little and slowly gained the upper hand.

After entangled for nearly an incense stick of time, the opponent was helpless and signaled the decision, surrendering and admitting defeat.

After the white-clothed elder came on stage to announce the result, Gu Zhenhao flew down the stage with a smile on his face.

"Finally got it, I'm exhausted." Gu Zhenhao was sweating all over, and his face could not hide his fatigue, but he still smiled.

Lin Mu sent a voice message: "You could have easily taken him down, why did you delay for so long? You really asked for it."

"He lost to me a hundred years ago, and he has been holding back a rage in his heart. If he is not allowed to vent this rage, he will never give up." Gu Zhenhao explained, "If I fight him head-on, I can indeed win, but it's a head-on confrontation, and if it goes wrong, both of us will suffer. Even if I win, I will not be able to participate in the next competition."

"Let him go a little, slowly wear him down, and you can also win without getting hurt." Gu Zhenhao laughed, "The most important thing is that I had such a hard time in this game. In the third competition, the opponent must think that my strength has not improved much. Not to mention that they will be careless, at least they will not be too defensive against me. When I suddenly burst out my true strength, they will definitely be caught off guard."

Lin Mu suddenly realized.

When masters fight, as long as they take the initiative and continue to attack, it will be difficult for the opponent to resist.

"It's only the second round, but you've even considered the third round." Lin Mu sighed, "You're really cunning, it really opened my eyes."

"This competition for the mineral vein is a life-and-death battle. Although the first few rounds are relatively easy, it's easy for accidents to happen." Gu Zhenhao said, "Everyone's strength will not differ too much. Whether you can win really depends on who is more thoughtful."

Lin Mu nodded repeatedly.

He competed with Yulin based on his mind.

If he competed with real strength, he was confident that he could still defeat Yulin, but he would never be able to defeat him within three moves, let alone kill him.

It was too difficult.

But he was thoughtful, and something that was impossible to happen happened to him.

Lin Mu thought about it, and he could also imitate Gu Zhenhao's move.

After killing Yulin with one sword, although he said that it was mainly due to luck, what he did was too shocking, leaving an indelible impression in many people's minds. In addition, after the cultivators' own imagination, they must have thought that he was extremely strong.

In this case, even if a master met him, he would never show mercy and relax a little.

If he won the next competition with difficulty like Gu Zhenhao, or not too easily, it would definitely eliminate the various imaginations and speculations of him in the hearts of the cultivators and let them see the real him.

The degree here is really hard to grasp.

Gu Zhenhao was the last to finish in the first competition of the second round.

Soon, the second competition began.

"Lin Mu, Ye Peng!" The white-clothed elder called out on the second battle stage.

"How strong is Ye Peng?" Lin Mu did not rush to the stage, but asked Gu Zhenhao first.

Knowing the enemy's strength, he can make appropriate responses and performances.

"He is also very strong, infinitely close to the middle stage of fusion, and it is rumored that he is even stronger than Yulin." Gu Zhenhao reminded, "When facing him, you must not be careless, show your strength to the fullest. After all, your cultivation is only at the Return to Void stage, and it is difficult to last long, so go up and attack desperately, don't hold back."

"I know!" Lin Mu said calmly.

Flying up to the battle stage, the white-clothed elder left the battle stage and closed the ban.

After Lin Mu and Ye Peng clasped their fists and saluted each other, the competition officially began.

As soon as he came up, Lin Mu activated the sword domain and launched a fierce attack.

Ye Peng also mobilized the power of heaven and earth, and the power of the flying sword was also good. His sword attainments had already touched the threshold of the sword domain. Facing the fierce Sui Xin Sword, he responded with all his strength and did not dare to be careless.

Thousands of cultivators also focused their attention on the second battle stage at this time, staring closely at the situation on the field.

With the first sword, Lin Mu put a lot of pressure on Ye Peng.

Ding!

After a clear sword sound, the two flying swords collided, and Ye Peng's flying sword quickly retreated.

It was obvious that Lin Mu's Sui Xin sword had the upper hand.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Lin Mu then attacked with three consecutive swords.

He had the upper hand with each sword.

But Ye Peng also blocked them all and did not suffer any injuries.

Lin Mu's consecutive swords did not achieve satisfactory results, and a trace of anxiety gradually began to appear on his face, and his attacks became faster and faster.

However, after Ye Peng adapted to his fierce attacks, he no longer chose to fight him head-on, but began to passively defend.

Momentum is fast and fierce, weak at first, and exhausted again. The two of them held each other for half a cup of tea, and Lin Mu gradually lost that sharpness and began to fall into a tug-of-war with Ye Peng.

With his cultivation, falling into a tug-of-war is undoubtedly equivalent to falling into a disadvantage.

"Lin Mu is really strong, he can tie with Ye Peng who is fighting with all his strength!" A blue-clothed fusion-stage cultivator said with emotion, "Ye Peng's strength is not weaker than that of a fusion-stage cultivator."

"It is indeed very strong, but that's all. Judging from the situation, he can't beat Ye Peng." A purple-clothed cultivator next to him said arrogantly, "This game, Lin Mu is likely to lose, and he will stop in the second round of this mineral vein competition."
