Chapter 887 Battle Against Liao Shu

Lin Mu smiled and nodded repeatedly.

He could be where he is today, rising so fast, in addition to his own efforts, there was also some luck and help from noble people.

Gu Zhenhao was his noble person.

If it weren't for Gu Zhenhao's help, he would never have such a good situation now.

He didn't even have the opportunity to participate in the mineral vein competition conference.

Now Gu Zhenhao is willing to gamble with him again. Although the possibility of losing is not great, everything is afraid of the possibility. If he loses, the whole Gu family will be finished, but Gu Zhenhao is determined to do it, which shows that he trusts him very much.

Such a friend can be deeply connected.

He is also relieved to hand over the mineral vein to Gu Zhenhao in the future.

The two discussed the details of the bet, and the first round of the nine battle platforms ended one after another.

The fourth round of the competition was more intense.

One cultivator was killed on the spot by his opponent, three cultivators were seriously injured and it would be difficult for them to recover in a short time. The remaining cultivators were almost all injured to varying degrees, and there were only a few who were intact.

Of course, Gu Zhenhao's opponent had no injuries.

Gu Zhenhao did not participate in the competition, he won without a fight.

A moment later, the second competition began.

Nine battle platforms, nine white-clothed elders, began to announce the list of cultivators participating in the competition.

"Liao Shu, Lin Mu!" The white-clothed elder on the seventh battle platform said loudly.

Hearing his name, Lin Mu's expression moved.

"Liao Shu?" Lin Mu couldn't help but ask Gu Zhenhao, "How strong is this person?"

This was his first time to participate in the mineral vein competition conference, and others could only guess at his true strength and could not really find out the details.

Similarly, he had no idea about the strength of other cultivators.

Fortunately, Gu Zhenhao was there to give him some help.

Otherwise, even if he is slightly stronger than his opponent, if his opponent suddenly gets angry and is caught off guard, everything will be hard to predict.

This is how he killed Yulin before.

"You are so unlucky this time that you actually ran into Liao Shu!" Gu Zhenhao said worriedly, "Liao Shu's cultivation had entered the middle stage of fusion hundreds of years ago. Although he has not reached the late stage of fusion now, his strength is already better than that of ordinary cultivators in the middle stage of fusion."

"He is indeed very strong!" Lin Mu said seriously, "His strength is roughly the same as mine. It seems that we will have to fight this time!"

"I have never had any contact with Liao Shu, but there are only so many cultivators in the fusion stage in the entire Jinxiu world. I have heard a lot of rumors about him." Gu Zhenhao explained, "It is said that he is ruthless. Once he is on the battle stage, he will not show any mercy for the sake of victory. I heard that he killed one of his friends eight hundred years ago."

"It is on this seventh battle stage!" Gu Zhenhao pointed to the seventh battle stage.

Lin Mu felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.

When facing his friends, he did not hold back at all, and later even killed them.

Such a person is ruthless and cruel.

"I didn't expect that he would do anything to win." Lin Mu sighed.

"It is precisely because of his unscrupulousness that he can have the current strength." Gu Zhenhao warned, "After you go on stage, don't be careless or slack, and don't think about gambling or not, and don't deliberately show weakness to attract more cultivators to participate. Don't have such thoughts!"

"Liao Shu is so strong that some ordinary late-stage fusion cultivators can hardly guarantee that they can beat him." Gu Zhenhao said, "He has killed many fusion cultivators and has long owned mineral veins. After so many years, he must have extremely powerful trump cards. If you relax, you may die in an instant."

"With his strength, he can impact the top 16." Lin Mu shook his head, "I didn't expect to meet such a strong opponent in the fourth round."

"How confident are you?" Gu Zhenhao asked.

"More than 60% sure." Lin Mu pondered and said.

If it was a normal competition, he and Liao Shu would have a 50-50 chance of winning.

But on the battle stage, his strength was not affected at all, while Liao Shu's strength was greatly reduced.

How much power of heaven and earth can be mobilized on the battle stage with a radius of more than 100 feet?

With one gaining and the other losing, he is at least 60% sure of winning!

"Sixty percent confidence is too low." Gu Zhenhao said worriedly, "I'm worried that your trump card is not as deep as his. With the sword domain alone, you must be much stronger than his power of heaven and earth. Even if his cultivation is in the middle stage of fusion, it is useless, but I'm afraid he has a powerful trump card."

"Don't worry." Lin Mu smiled and said, "To be honest, I have a lot of earth-grade spirit beads on me. After my careful tempering, I now have several powerful spiritual magic weapons, armor, treasure tripods, etc., which are all top-level defensive magic weapons. Even if he has a powerful trump card, it is difficult to kill me."

"When you say that, I'm completely relieved." Gu Zhenhao couldn't help but smile.

Lin Mu reminded, "You can go out and bet with others later. After all, this is the first time to bet, so you don't have to play too big. I am not sure of winning. Just give me five times the odds."

"Five times is already very high." Gu Zhenhao agreed, "After you go on stage, I will immediately go out and see how many people are willing to bet."

Gu Zhenhao looked at the crowd on the other side while speaking.

Liao Shu was talking to the blue-clothed cultivator with a smile on his face, and there was no tension on his face.

"Congratulations, Brother Du, after winning this time, you will enter the fifth round. Compared with the last time, you have made a substantial breakthrough. If you win the next round, you will be in the top 16." Liao Shu congratulated the blue-clothed cultivator with a smile on his face, but envy was hard to hide in his eyes.

"Where does such good luck come from?" The blue-clothed cultivator said modestly, "Even if there is such good luck, becoming the top 16 is still the bottom."

"Becoming the top 16 means that you can fight with the most powerful group of cultivators in the entire Jinxiu world. Can this experience be compared with ordinary competitions?" Liao Shu said, "Any cultivator who has participated in the round-robin battle will have a significant improvement in strength within a hundred years. I believe you know this better than me. Isn't your brother like this?"

"That's the truth." The blue-clothed cultivator said with a smile, "My brother told me that no matter what, you must work hard to enter the top 16. This is an excellent opportunity to improve. Whether it is vision, perception, or character, you can have a good temper and a great improvement."

"As long as your opponent in the next round is not too strong, as long as you work hard, there is a great chance to enter the top 16." Liao Shu said enviously.

"You are the same!" The blue-clothed cultivator said with a smile, "What's the difference between this fourth round against Lin Mu and directly announcing your victory?"

"The difference is that I didn't win directly, I still had to go on stage to defeat him, which is really troublesome." Liao Shu said with a smile.

"If you beat Lin Mu, you will have a chance to continue winning in the fifth round, and you will have a great chance of becoming one of the top sixteen!" The blue-clothed cultivator smiled and comforted Liao Shu, "But you can't be careless. In my opinion, although his strength is slightly inferior to that of a cultivator in the middle stage of the fusion, he is a peerless genius after all. You can't take him away with common sense. Be careful that he will rebel."

"Just him?" Liao Shu sneered, "No matter how talented he is, his cultivation is only at the Return to Void Stage. Even if I force him into a desperate situation, he will at most self-destruct. The self-destruction of a cultivator in the Return to Void Stage will not have much impact on me."

"That's for sure." The blue-clothed cultivator said, "What's more, Lin Mu's cultivation is only at the Return to Void Stage. In the middle stage of the Void Realm, the power of self-detonation is not as good as that of the peak cultivators in the Return to Void Realm, so there is nothing to fear. "

"However, such peerless geniuses are all proud and will never admit defeat easily. You must be prepared for a protracted war." The blue-clothed cultivator fanned the flames, "Especially now that so many cultivators are paying attention to him, he will never admit defeat easily. He will definitely entangle with you repeatedly, even to the death!"

"Then let him die!" Liao Shu's face flashed with jealousy, and he said fiercely, "Other cultivators in the Fusion Realm will become stepping stones for his fame, but he can't do that to me!"

"Do you want to severely injure him?" The blue-clothed cultivator asked.

He asked this deliberately to give Liao Shu this hint.

His brother is a top genius, and he knows very well how terrifying the potential of a genius like Lin Mu is.

If he fails to advance to the top sixteen this time, a hundred years later, Lin Mu will definitely become his biggest opponent in the top sixteen!

At that time, he did not have the confidence to defeat him at all.

Of course, Lin Mu's current strength is not very strong, Liao Shu is enough to defeat him.

But what he wants is definitely not to defeat him.

But to injure him severely!

At least he wants to injure Lin Mu once.

It would be best if he could never recover.

If Liao Shu can kill Lin Mu, that would be the best.

"Just wait and see!" Liao Shu said, and his figure flashed, and the next moment, he appeared on the battle stage.

Lin Mu flew lightly to the battle stage and stood opposite Liao Shu.

The cultivators watching from the stage all focused their attention on the seventh battle stage.

Even though the competitions on other battle stages had already begun, everyone's eyes did not move away.

"Lin Mu is in trouble in this competition, he met Liao Shu!"

"Liao Shu is a ruthless man, never soft-hearted, he even killed his own friend back then!"

"I heard that he has always been jealous of his friend, so he was ruthless, which shows how narrow-minded he is!"

"Lin Mu is so popular, Liao Shu's personality must be unbearable, this time he must be taught a lesson."

"I think it's more than a lesson." A cultivator added.

"Could he dare to kill such a peerless genius?"

"I don't think so."

"Killing a peerless genius like Lin Mu will definitely be infamous!"
