Chapter 897 Unexpected Action

Gu Zhenhao sighed secretly.

It seems that Lin Mu will definitely give his all in this match.

Du Xin's strength is still better than Liao Shu, and he should be on par with Lin Mu, but his cultivation is in the middle stage of fusion after all, close to the late stage of fusion, and he has a greater chance of winning if he fights for a long time.

If Lin Mu wants to win, it seems that he can only use the three five-yin thunder beads.

Gu Zhenhao couldn't help but feel sorry for Lin Mu, as he had just obtained the five-yin thunder beads and was about to use them.

The fifth round of the competition was a huge investment, and it would be even more difficult to be in the top ten later.

But he couldn't care so much at the moment, only by being in the top sixteen could he have the next thing.

Since Lin Mu was going to use these three five-yin thunder beads, he had to take advantage of this opportunity to earn as many spirit stones as possible, so that he would not suffer a loss.

Before he could put this idea into practice, someone asked him, "Senior Gu, who do you think will win this competition today?"

"It must be Lin Mu!" Gu Zhenhao said without thinking.

"Lin Mu's strength is about the same as Du Xin's, but his cultivation is at a disadvantage. His foundation and combat experience are far inferior to Du Xin, and his trump card is definitely not as strong as Du Xin's." A blue-clothed fusion cultivator next to him said, "In my opinion, Lin Mu will lose this game!"

"Why do you think so?" Gu Zhenhao asked unconvinced.

The blue-clothed fusion cultivator smiled and said, "Lin Mu's previous reversal of Liao Shu relied on the ancient talisman of concealment. If it weren't for the ancient talisman of concealment, he would definitely have lost! This time, without the protection of the ancient talisman of concealment, what can he use to win? You know, Du Xin is not only stronger than Liao Shu in strength, but also in scheming. He will never give Lin Mu a chance to counterattack."

What the blue-clothed cultivator said attracted the approval and echo of the surrounding cultivators.

Lin Mu's previous victory was certainly due to his own strength, but his strength was far from being strong enough to defy the heavens. He had defeated four opponents in a row and entered the fifth round, which was already a blessing.

Looking back now, luck was the decisive factor in each of his victories.

If they had not been relaxed and careless, Yu Lin and Liao Shu would never have fallen.

Unexpectedly, Lin Mu relied on some small tricks to win himself a great opportunity, and killed two mid-stage fusion cultivators instead.

Three times is more likely to happen.

Such things can't happen all the time.

What's more, his opponents are all powerful and sophisticated mid-stage fusion masters.

Du Xin has always been known for his resourcefulness and insidiousness. It is absolutely impossible for him to fall into Lin Mu's trap. On the contrary, Lin Mu is likely to be tricked by Du Xin, and his life may be in danger!

"I firmly believe that Lin Mu can win." Gu Zhenhao was unmoved and still insisted on his own opinion.

"Pedant!" The blue-clothed cultivator sneered in his heart.

In the fourth round, Gu Zhenhao made billions of spirit stones by gambling with Lin Mu. He was so happy that he was overwhelmed.

It is undeniable that Lin Mu surprised thousands of cultivators in the fourth round, and everyone was shocked.

But after the excitement, everything will return to calm.

Lin Mu relied on his sword attainments in the late stage of the sword domain to compete with Liao Shu in the middle stage of the fusion. When facing Du Xin, the two were just the same, and Lin Mu's cultivation was also at a disadvantage.

What else can he use to win?

Sword attainments?

In the Return to Void stage, his sword attainments have reached the late stage of the sword domain. This is shocking and rare in ten thousand years. Could it be that he can continue to improve his sword domain power?

No one can believe that Lin Mu's sword attainments can transcend the late stage of the sword domain and reach the peak of the sword domain.

This is absolutely impossible!

In the entire cultivation world, among the three thousand realms, there are only a few cultivators who can reach the late stage of the sword domain like Lin Mu. The cultivators who can reach the peak of the sword domain have probably ascended to become immortals!

Since the power of the sword domain cannot be improved, it is impossible for his cultivation to enter the fusion stage in a short period of time, and he cannot mobilize the power of heaven and earth.

The power of the flying sword is limited by Lin Mu's lifespan. It has not been nurtured and tempered for many years, so the power will not be that strong.

In addition, Du Xin is unlikely to be as careless as the previous fusion stage cultivators.

Lin Mu's only hope of turning the tables lies in his trump card.

Anyone who has a little thought can also think that Lin Mu's swordsmanship is so amazing that he must have spent all his thoughts on improving the sword domain realm, so where would he have time to prepare trump cards.

Even if there is a trump card, it is definitely not comparable to a cultivator like Du Xin who has lived for more than ten thousand years.

No matter how they compared, the green-clothed cultivator couldn't think of any possibility that Lin Mu would win.

"Since Brother Gu firmly believes that Lin Mu will definitely win, why don't we bet again? What do you think?" The green-clothed cultivator said with a smile, looking at Gu Zhenhao.

"Why not?" Gu Zhenhao agreed with a smile on his face. He couldn't ask for more.

"Is it still the same rules as last time?" The green-clothed cultivator smiled, "I'll bet on Lin Mu losing with spirit stones."

Gu Zhenhao smiled and nodded.

"However, I won't bet against others easily. Since I'm betting, I'll go big." Gu Zhenhao said immediately, "I don't think it's necessary to bet less than 100 million spirit stones."

100 million spirit stones!

A hint of hesitation flashed across the face of the green-clothed cultivator.

It's not that he can't afford the 100 million spirit stones, but he thinks the bet is indeed a bit too big.

He only has one mineral vein, and his wealth is not very rich, but 100 million spirit stones are nothing to him.

He also can't see any signs of Lin Mu winning.

Then let's take a gamble!

Since we're betting, we must strive for the greatest benefit.

When he was about to speak, Gu Zhenhao saw that he was hesitant and couldn't help but say: "The odds this time are 20 times. As long as you win, I will give you 2 billion spirit stones!"

Twenty times odds!

The green-clothed cultivator was shocked, and then he was ecstatic.

"I bet 300 million spirit stones!" Without any hesitation, he immediately took out a storage bag and handed it to Gu Zhenhao.

Gu Zhenhao didn't say anything polite and collected it naturally.

Seeing this, the Zhouwei cultivators gathered around and asked, "Can we also participate in the bet?"

Gu Zhenhao smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem."

"However, it is still unnecessary to bet less than one million spirit stones." Gu Zhenhao changed the subject.

One million spirit stones are not too much for a cultivator in the Return to Void Stage.

Many cultivators had no objection and handed their storage bags to Gu Zhenhao.

With a twenty-fold odds, as long as they win, they will make a lot of money.

Even if they lose, one million spirit stones will not have much impact.

Judging from the current situation, Lin Mu's chance of winning is less than 30%.

Who doesn't want to make money with spirit stones?

Gu Zhenhao smiled and kept collecting storage bags.

Each storage bag contains at least one million spirit stones, and some contain tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of spirit stones.

Several cultivators in the Fusion Stage were unwilling to miss this opportunity and bet one or two hundred million spirit stones respectively.

In a moment, Gu Zhenhao collected hundreds of storage bags.

In the distance, there were still cultivators pouring in.

While Gu Zhenhao was busy collecting spirit stones, the competition officially began on the battle stage.

Lin Mu didn't say anything nonsense to Du Xin. After the white-robed elder closed the ancient ban, he took the initiative to attack.

Du Xin also said nothing and responded sharply.

The two of them fought back and forth, and the fight was indistinguishable. The sword light flashed, and the scene was very beautiful.

After a series of probing attacks, Lin Mu no longer held back and began to exert all his strength to push the boundless killing domain to the extreme. The power of the late sword domain suddenly exploded.

Du Xin fought against each other and also went all out.

Lin Mu still occupied a first-line advantage after all.

Although Du Xin was much stronger than Liao Shu, he was still suppressed by his sword domain and fell into a disadvantage.

But if he wanted to win, it would be extremely difficult.

If they continue to fight like this, when their spiritual power is exhausted, Du Xin will surely gradually take the initiative and gain the upper hand.

In this fifth round of competition, it was so difficult that Lin Mu could not help but feel the gap in his own strength.

But now, he could not think so much. If he wanted to win, he had to use the Five Yin Thunder Beads.

Du Xin had wanted to kill him before, so now he did not need to be polite.

Lin Mu's mind moved, and he wanted to use the Five Yin Thunder Beads.

At this moment, Du Xin suddenly said, "I didn't expect you to be so strong!"

Lin Mu had no expression on his face and did not respond.

"Now it seems that you are slightly better than me, but if you continue to fight like this, when your spiritual power is exhausted, I will still have the upper hand." Du Tong said, "If you want to defeat me, you can only use your trump card!"

Lin Mu still did not respond, but he did not immediately detonate the Five Yin Thunder Beads.

He wanted to see what tricks Du Xin was going to play on him.

"I don't want to fight with your life!" Du Xin continued, "All those who fought with you have died."

"You are a good friend of Liao Shu, don't you want to avenge him?" Lin Mu asked back.

Du Xin's hypocrisy really made him sick.

Even a three-year-old child knows such tricks.

"He and I are just ordinary friends. It's not worth it to fight with you for a dead person." Du Tong said, "What's more, for someone like him who even killed his own friends, it's even more unnecessary."

"Didn't Liao Shu discuss with you before he wanted to kill me?" Lin Mu sneered.

Du Xin's sword light stagnated, and then he said: "He did tell me about this, but I always advised him not to do so. It's just that he didn't listen to my advice, so he died. It's his own fault, and he can't blame others."

"What do you want to say?" Lin Mu began to get impatient.

Du Xin wanted to distract him by such means, which was really childish!

"Liao Shu's trump card, the Five Yin Thunder Beads, must be more than one!" Du Tong said, "I just want to ask you, how many Five Yin Thunder Beads did you get?"

The real show is coming.

Lin Mu's heart suddenly trembled.

"Three!" Lin Mu thought for a moment and replied.

"In that case, there is no need for us to continue fighting." Du Tong said, "If we continue to fight, we will expose our trump cards and fight for our lives. If things go wrong, both of us will be injured or even die together!"

"Even if we are both injured or die together, I will not admit defeat!" Lin Mu did not let Du Xin continue, and interrupted him directly, "Don't worry about it. I will not give in at all, let alone admit defeat!"

After Du Xin knew his trump card, he still tried to persuade him. I guess he also had a powerful trump card.

Despite this, Lin Mu was still fearless.

Isn't it just a fight of life?

Who has he ever been afraid of?

"You misunderstood!" Du Xin suddenly retreated backwards, put away his flying sword, and said loudly, "I admit defeat!"
