Chapter 914: Making a Feint to the East and Attacking in the West (1/2)
There is an extremely long distance between Qianjin City and Linge City.
Lin Mu knew it very well.
He flew for a long time before going to several mineral veins to check them out.
Xu Jiao, Hua Jin, Xing Qing Xing Yu and others were far inferior to him in cultivation. It would take several months to fly from Qianjin City to here at full speed without any delay.
Lin Mu never thought that they would come.
Could it be that something has changed in Qianjin City?
Lin Mu immediately denied this guess.
If there was something wrong, Xu Hong would definitely tell him.
Then what are they doing here?
Lin Mu was puzzled, and he moved and hurried forward.
The four spiritual cranes stopped in the air.
"Why are you here?" The competition was about to begin, and Lin Mu did not dare to waste too much time, so he asked directly.
"Can't we come?" Xu Jiao asked angrily.
They came all the way here, and they didn't know how much hardship they had suffered along the way. In the end, they couldn't fly anymore, so they bought four spiritual cranes and hurried here.
Who knew that when they arrived here, Lin Mu was so calm.
His enthusiasm was almost extinguished by cold water.
"Of course I can come." Lin Mu's face stagnated, and he said hurriedly. After not seeing each other for a long time, Xu Jiao still didn't change at all, and she was still as unruly as ever.
"Brother, you have been away for a long time, and we are all worried." Hua Jin said more steadily, "At the suggestion of the eldest lady, we left Qianjin City and went to Linge City. We decided to cheer you up and take a look at the mineral vein competition conference to see what kind of style it is and learn more."
"Are you the four of you?" Lin Mu looked at Xingqing and Xingyu and asked.
Xingqing nodded repeatedly: "When we were about to arrive, we heard that you suddenly disappeared, so we immediately bought four spiritual cranes and rushed here."
Lin Mu was moved and warm.
He was alone and encountered many dangers on the road, and almost lost his life several times.
Among the four women, Xing Qing, who had the highest cultivation, was not that strong.
It was not easy to arrive here safely.
If something happened on the way, he really didn't know what to do.
"I went out for a trip before, and I have something to do. Let's talk about this later." Lin Mu was reluctant to say more in the crowd.
The competition has already begun, and everyone is looking at him.
Lin Mu and Xu Jiao greeted and flew to the battle stage.
"You are betting against others in this game, and the odds are ten times!" When passing by Gu Zhenhao, Lin Mu whispered, "The opportunity to make a fortune is here, I must win this game!"
Gu Zhenhao was shocked, looked back at the stunning Xu Jiao, Hua Jin, Xing Qing and Xing Yu sisters, and nodded secretly.
With such peerless beauties to help him, he was also full of motivation and had to win no matter what.
It seems that this competition is going to be an upset!
Whenever Lin Mu decided to win a competition, he never lost.
This time, I believe it will be no exception!
Lin Mu landed on the battle stage and stood opposite Jin Hao.
The white-robed elder immediately closed the ban.
The competition officially began.
The cultivators below the stage began to discuss.
"Just now I thought these four peerless beauties were looking for me, but I didn't expect that they were here to cheer for Lin Mu!" A cultivator in the Return to Void Stage said shamelessly.
"Wake up, isn't daydreaming just deceiving yourself?" A companion ridiculed.
"Lin Mu will definitely lose this game. Being defeated in front of several peerless beauties, the reputation of the peerless genius is ruined, which is a great shame." Someone said with sourness and sarcasm.
At this time, Gu Zhenhao also started to act.
He gambled with others again as before.
This time, Lin Mu's cultivation level declined, and his opponent was the strongest one since the Mineral Vein Competition Conference.
Jin Hao in the late stage of fusion!
But, Gu Zhenhao still offered a tenfold odds!
Although some cultivators had been cheated by Gu Zhenhao more than once before, seeing such generous odds, many people could not suppress the impulse in their hearts and could not help wanting to gamble with Gu Zhenhao.
"Everyone, no less than one million spiritual stones." Gu Zhenhao said to the cultivators around him with a smile.
He was full of confidence in Lin Mu.
Now he had a close relationship with Lin Mu. Even if Lin Mu lost to Jin Hao this time, he would pay out of his own pocket.
The previous two times, he made a lot of spiritual stones, and it didn't matter if he paid them all out, even if he took out his own spiritual stones to make up for it.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Lin Mu left Qianjin City before, and his cultivation level declined after returning. As a friend, his cultivation level was also close to the middle stage of fusion, but he could not help at all, and he felt guilty.
This time, regardless of whether Lin Mu won or lost, he would take it all.
On the battle stage, Lin Mu looked relaxed and extremely confident, as if he would definitely win this competition.
This made Jin Hao feel very uncomfortable.
After the white-robed elder called out loudly, he flew to the opposite platform.
Who would have thought that Lin Mu would not take him seriously? During the competition, he even flirted with several graceful female cultivators.
A cultivator in the Fusion Stage was actually ignored to this extent.
If Lin Mu had been so arrogant before, he would have felt that it was understandable. After all, Lin Mu was in the limelight at that time and was a peerless genius in the hearts of thousands of cultivators. He would have been cautious in fighting with him.
Now, Lin Mu's strength has plummeted, and he still dares to look down on him.
He must let Lin Mu know the price of underestimating the enemy.
"In this competition, you should just admit defeat. I don't want to hurt you, so as not to be accused of taking advantage of others." Jin Hao looked at Lin Mu and took the initiative to speak.
How could Lin Mu allow him to ridicule him? He immediately replied, "Since I am on the stage, I am here to win. I don't know if you have heard of the saying that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even though my strength has declined now, it is not a problem for me to defeat you."
Jin Hao laughed in anger.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
This is absolutely true.
But don't make a mistake about who is the camel and who is the horse. His cultivation is the late stage of fusion, while Lin Mu's cultivation is the early stage of returning to the void. This is obvious.
"Your joke is quite good. It successfully made me laugh." Jin Hao praised, but there was a chill in his words.
"I'm talking to you seriously. I don't have time to joke with you." Lin Mu said seriously, "Why don't we discuss something, what do you think?"
"What is it?" Jin Hao asked.
"My four friends came to help. If I lose in front of thousands of cultivators, my four friends will definitely not be happy, and thousands of cultivators will also laugh at me." Lin Mu said seriously, "Why don't you take the initiative to admit defeat now, and I don't have to do anything. Everyone is happy, and we will still be friends in the future. What do you think?"
"Don't even think about it! Daydreaming?" Jin Hao was furious, "I think not only your cultivation has declined this time, but your brain has also been damaged, right?"
The more he talked, the more outrageous it became.
He actually asked him to admit defeat directly!
Seeing a faint smile on Lin Mu's face, Jin Hao realized that he was fooled and could not help but get angry.
"If you don't admit defeat, I will hurt you later. Don't blame me for not reminding you." Lin Mu regained his serious look again, "I gave you a chance, you must know how to cherish it!"
"I will cherish it!" Jin Hao gritted his teeth and said, "It's rare to meet you once, how can I not cherish it!"
Lin Mu saw that he was about to lose his temper, and his smile became even more intense.
His strategy was successful again.
An irrational opponent can hardly exert 70% of his strength. An extremely calm opponent may exert 100% of his strength, and can also see your weaknesses and deliver a fatal blow, which is extremely dangerous.
Successfully angering Jin Hao, and making him furious, his chances of winning are a little greater.
Xu Jiao, Hua Jin, Xing Qing and Xing Yu, standing in the crowd, listening to the discussions of the cultivators around them, could not help but worry about Lin Mu.
"His cultivation is declining now, how can he beat Jin Hao who is in the late stage of fusion?" Xu Jiao said with concern.
"We came at the wrong time." Hua Jin said, "If we come now, Senior Brother must be full of fighting spirit and want to win a victory. Not only can we not help him, but we will hurt him."
"Everything is hard to say." Xing Qing said, "No one can see his true background, and no one has seen his true strength. Maybe he will also create an accident this time, just like before."
Xing Yu nodded gently.
She believed that Lin Mu would definitely win!
The four turned their heads and looked closely at the stage, expecting Lin Mu to create a miracle.
Lin Mu and Jin Hao, who stood opposite each other on the stage and did not move, suddenly moved at this time.
The cultivators below the stage burst into cheers.
After a long time, they finally saw Lin Mu take action again.
However, what was extremely surprising was that this time, they still did not see how Lin Mu really took action.
As soon as the competition started, the ancient forbidden area was filled with lightning and the light flashed continuously.
Lin Mu was swift and agile, wandering around the battle stage.
Wherever he passed, he kept throwing out beads that flashed with light lightning.
It was the Thunder Yuan Pearl!
The Thunder Yuan Pearl specially made by Qingniu.
The Thunder Yuan Pearl made by Qingniu was far less powerful than Liao Shu's Five Yin Thunder Pearl, but it was enough now.
Treasures are more precious only where they can play their value.
If it were normal, using this Thunder Yuan Pearl to deal with a late-stage fusion cultivator like Jin Hao would definitely be ineffective. When he was an enemy of Du Cheng, he didn't even use it.
But now, in this ancient forbidden area, the Thunder Yuan Pearl can play an unexpected effect.
In the narrow range of this ancient forbidden area, the power of heaven and earth is limited, and Jin Hao's strength is greatly reduced.
In this situation, Lin Mu is still not sure that he can defeat Du Cheng, after all, the power of the Sui Xin Sword has not yet fully recovered.
But he has more than just the Sword Domain and the Sui Xin Sword!
The Thunder Yuan Pearl cannot cause much damage to the late stage of fusion cultivators, but it is more than enough to disrupt the power of heaven and earth in the ancient forbidden area.
The Thunder Yuan Pearls kept exploding, and the entire arena was in turmoil, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was disordered.
The moment Lin Mu moved, Jin Hao was suddenly startled and alert.
He did not expect that Lin Mu would use a killing move as soon as he came up.
Could it be the Five Yin Thunder Pearl?
Immediately, he understood.
Why are there so many Five Yin Thunder Pearls?
The power is completely inconsistent with the rumors.
Jin Hao sneered.
It is difficult for a Thunder Pearl of this level to cause any damage to him.
Is this Lin Mu's trump card?
Trying to kill him with this?
This is too funny!
Even if Lin Mu has the advantage in number of such powerful treasures, no matter how many he detonates, only one or two can directly hit him.
A peerless genius, that's all.
He can only rely on the treasures given by his elders to show off his power.
It seems like a great miracle, but in fact, what he threw out were all spirit stones!
For example, this thunder bead, although its power cannot cause much damage to him, he is a late-stage fusion cultivator after all. For ordinary fusion cultivators, it still has a certain power, and its value must be very high.
Lin Mu just threw out so many thunder beads, at least dozens of them, so I don't know how many spirit stones turned into water.
But it still didn't produce any effect.
It's really hateful to be so rich and wasteful.
There are so many things to do with these spirit stones.
Jin Hao thought so, thinking that he had seen through Lin Mu's true colors, so he simply said, "Don't be busy. Show your sword domain and let's have a real fight. It's a waste of time. The cultivators below the stage are dazzled and think that we are fighting very well. In fact, it's shit. Is this how you cheated to gain huge fame?"
Lin Mu immediately stopped and laughed in the bursts of lightning: "Detonating the Thunder Yuan Pearl is even more gorgeous than the most dazzling fireworks. Isn't this exciting? If you are still not satisfied, then I won't play with you. Let's end it!"
After Lin Mu finished speaking, his mind moved, and he immediately displayed the boundless killing domain, and then urged the heart-following sword, and slashed at Jin Hao fiercely.
The sword came out, and the killing intent was strong.
The speed of the heart-following sword seemed slow, but it was actually extremely fast.
Jin Hao felt cold all over, feeling as if he was locked tightly and unable to move.
He tried his best to activate his sword domain and mobilize the power of heaven and earth to break free from the shackles of Lin Mu's sword domain.
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked.
He was plotted against by Lin Mu.
The Thunder Yuan Pearl that Lin Mu had detonated before was not intended to cause any harm to him, but to disrupt the power of heaven and earth and weaken his strength!
Who would have thought that being in the Return to Void stage, without the need to use the power of heaven and earth, would actually become Lin Mu's advantage!
Where is justice?
In the competition of sword domain, his current sword attainment is only at the initial stage of sword domain, which cannot be compared with Lin Mu's boundless killing domain.
Seeing the flying sword flying over, the murderous intent was so fierce that he could not resist it at all, but he could not dodge it.
If he retreated, he would fall off the battle stage.
But between life and winning or losing, this choice was not difficult.
Jin Hao was extremely unwilling, and his body retreated violently and fell off the battle stage.
The sword filled with murderous intent rushed to the edge of the platform.
It stopped abruptly!
