Chapter 53: Through the Looking Glass

The blade has been directly cracked by Chen Lao, and the game is about to end............

That's right, as long as ......

As long as Chen Lao immediately let go of this finger and abolished the wrist of his other blade, he put Jianming down like this............

That's the end of the game.

He immediately put his imagination into action without the slightest hesitation.

First, he released Jianming's finger as he imagined.

Look at his expression, as if he hadn't noticed it yet.

Then, immediately put this hand on his wrist......

(Now is the time!!)

(Now is the time!!)

It's done, Chen Lao has already put his hand on the wrist of Jianming's other blade.

There is no longer any factor that can shake Chen Lao's victory.

Ben, as it should be.

In the next moment, Chen Lao's hand actually fell into Jianming's wrist!!

And immediately, the Jianming wrist that should have existed disappeared directly.

Chen Lao grabbed a blank.

!?

What happened?

Almost everyone present was shocked and couldn't believe their eyes. This includes Chen Shihu and Qiu Cicada.

Ye Chou's eyes widened, not too much shock, but carefully savored.

But there were two other people present who didn't seem surprised at all. One nodded slightly in satisfaction, while the other smiled silently with the corners of his mouth raised.

One of them, surnamed Li.

And the other, surnamed Wang.

So...... What's going on?

In fact, Jianming still uses 'that'.

What exactly does 'that' mean?

Could it be that Jianming still couldn't hold back his patience and didn't want to lose to anyone, so he unlocked the seal on his bracer?

The Jianming who liberated the original power gained a faster speed?

Is this the afterimage of him left too quickly in a split second?

It's impossible, even Jianming can't become so fast in an instant that it leaves an afterimage.

What's more, without a battle with Ye Chou, Jianming would never be able to make this last hole card public.

Just ask: What is this ..................?

Answer: This is Jianming's nirvana.

Some people may wonder: Isn't the blade Jianming's nirvana?

Of course not.

The so-called nirvana is not something that anyone can easily imitate.

It's not the kind of cheap move that stretches out your finger and scratches it over someone else.

That's right, this is something that only Jianming can do.

Then again, here comes the problem again.

How did Jianming disappear in an instant, leaving an afterimage?

Actually, the answer is very simple.

It can be explained clearly in one sentence.

He seized the opportunity to dodge and at the same time expelled a small part of the spiritual power in his body from his body, leaving only his own feeling and shape of the 'spiritual power traces'.

Such a simple thing can only be used by Jianming, who can skillfully control spiritual power.

Faced with the incarnation of the weak, Jianming had to use this move.

The so-called martial arts are things that are used only when the weak defeat the strong.

As long as this move is used, even if the opponent is stronger than himself, Jianming is confident that he can defeat him!

With this move and the blade, you can even defeat the fastest Master Li in Penglai.

And Jianming, who had an epiphany from Master Li's teachings, named this trick ————

【Mirror Flower Water Moon】!!

True to its name, this is a difficult move for people to see flowers in the mirror, look at the moon in the water, and catch the wind and shadows.

Chen Lao, who saw this trick for the first time, couldn't understand it for a moment, and even some of them still couldn't believe their eyes, indulging in the victory that did not come.

The next battle immediately turned to high-speed attack and defense.

And in this extremely fast offensive and defensive battle, if there is a trace of doubt and hesitation in the spirit......

But it is self-defeating.

Through the afterimage that did not disperse, Kaiyun saw the sun, and the fierce iron fist went straight to the door of Chen Lao's face!!

It's a surprise, but it still can't be used to kill enemies!!

Hide!!

Jiang is still old and spicy, even if he was caught off guard, Chen Lao still has a chance of winning.

"You can taste the power of the weak!!!"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Lao immediately reversed his body sharply and fell backwards at the same time, he had never seen such a large movement and murderous aura when he made a move.

This is probably the strongest and most ferocious move he has used so far.

And Jianming is honored to ...... became a 'victim' who was able to see this trick.

Using his own weight as the cornerstone to interfere with the opponent's balance and destroy the opponent's balance and joints, this is Chen Lao's-

【Mochizuki drunk】!!!!

Jian Ming couldn't help but be careless, and directly when Chen Lao was about to touch his body, he launched the [Mirror Flower Water Moon] again.

Phew————

Another afterimage floated by, and in the mist, Jian Ming sideways dodged Chen Lao's blow and immediately prepared to pursue Chen Lao, who was lying on the ground with the door wide open.

That lower dash punch was about to explode directly in Chen Lao's face!!

Phew————

The breeze blows through the vicissitudes of life like a hundred-year-old tree.

Jianming stopped.

He didn't know why he stopped, it wasn't his own will, it was more like his instinct.

His instinct told him to stop punching and kicking the emaciated old man lying on the ground.

Everyone in the audience held their breath and was silent, and suddenly ...... around Silence fell.

Jianming withdrew his fist, still tied to his waist, but stood motionless without any sound.

And just as he began to wonder why he had stopped, he had already found out.

There was no light in Chen Lao's eyes, lying motionless on the ground, without any intention of wanting to get up.

Just then, the referee walked over.

Jianming lowered the fist tied to his waist, but he did not relax the tense muscles.

He just put on a posture like that, looking at the referee kneeling on the ground with an expression of disbelief.

The referee put two fingers on Chen Lao's neck to measure his pulse, and then put his head on Chen Lao's chest and listened to his heartbeat.

He sighed, got down on one knee like that, and shook his head.

There was silence on the field.

The referee walked over to Jianming, grabbed his wrist and raised it into the air.

"Force majeure caused by the sudden death of Chen Lao's player. The results of the first match of the second round are hereby announced!"

"Winner - Long Jianming!!!!!!"

In the audience, there was still silence.

Even Chen Shihu and the autumn cicadas in the lounge did not hear a little cheer and applause.

They are all the same as Jianming.

Like a deer caught in headlights.

Such a strong 'weakling'.

It was not defeated by Jianming, but 'defeated' by time............

This...... It's too hard to accept.

This couldn't help but insert another nail deep in Jianming's heart.

Is this the right death?

If anyone who has accumulated such experience and technology will be ruthlessly taken away by time.

What did man live for?

Those technologies ...... Those reputations...... The things he wanted to protect......

Not all............

Isn't that ?!?

There was no reaction from the audience.

Almost everyone is thinking about Chen Lao.

are all thinking about what will happen if they continue to fight, what kind of impact will Chen Lao have on them if he dies of old age like this, and the thoughts it will trigger.

The strongest 'weakling', in front of everyone, lost to time.

Almost everyone is thinking about the 'losing weakling', not the 'strong man who is still standing on the field' and should enjoy the glory of victory.

Such...... It's as if Jianming is a bad guy who has done bad things............

Cut.

Ye Chou smashed his mouth disdainfully, he had already seen through everything.

Jianming doesn't want to think so much about what he doesn't have now.

Then came the final.

All he had to think about was how to win.

In this way, he walked in the direction in which he had come, and left the venue, leaving the venue as silent as death.

(Sharpshooter............ The man's fist speed and power were so extraordinary that the chances of victory were hidden in the secret of the spear. )

(Whirlwind............ That leg is varied, and with that sense of balance and control in the air, it's definitely not easy to deal with. )

(These two people, one is the extreme of the blow, and the other is the multi-faceted hand of the blow, no matter who can win, it is not surprising...... )

Just when Jianming's mind was thinking about his opponent's affairs.

He heard a voice from behind.

It was a cough.

Very old cough.

Then, there was a lot of discussion from the audience.

Don't......!?

He immediately turned around, only to see the Chen Lao sitting cross-legged on the ground waving to him.

????????

"Yo~boy!Why do you have a worried stinky face?

Jianming stretched out a finger and pointed at Chen Lao. The expression is also puzzled.

"You...... You're not dead!?"

Syllable!

Chen Lao slapped his thigh and wiped his bald head.

"Ahh

Dead for a while?And this kind of thing!?

Jianming still didn't understand, this was too abnormal.

What is the purpose of those heavy hearts and chaotic thoughts just now?

"Why did you die for a while?!"

Haha.

Chen Lao grabbed his ankles with both hands, tilted his head and smiled: "If I don't die by myself for a while, your terrible punch will really kill me!"

【Turtle Breath Technique】

As the name suggests, it's a technique of playing dead.

Jianming's hand trembled slightly. But that finger was still impolitely pointing at Chen Lao.

"Also...... In other words, you are playing dead to avoid my attack?"

Chen Lao nodded, and his whole body swayed with it.

"Don't look at my age, practice martial arts every day, and my health will be better! At least live to be two hundred years old!"

Jianming seemed to understand.

Remember the ...... in nature There are also examples of such animals pretending to be dead to protect themselves.

But............

"But you've been sentenced to lose? Isn't that meaningless? Didn't you fail to protect it?"

Hum Hum Hum Hum ............

Chen Lao gestured one finger, and the other hand was still grasping his ankle and shaking his body, at this time he was no longer calm and introverted, living like an old naughty boy.
