Chapter 6: The Final Test
"Ahem...... How can it be? Ito Ying covered her chest and coughed up blood, her eyes full of disbelief and incomprehension. Obviously, my swordsmanship can already contain your teleportation......"
"Do you think I'm only going to teleport?" The sky retracted his sword and stood proudly: "You should be glad that this is just a competition...... Don't let me catch you on my travels! β
β¦β¦
"Very good swordsmanship." Zeus looked at his opponent with a little more appreciation: "For mortals, you are already strong. β
[Is it thunder and lightning again?] Even though he was seriously injured, Ai Wuxian still maintained a grim expression.
"A fanatic who claims to be a god." The swordsman exerted all his strength and dragged his tattered body to the ground: "Take my last sword!" β
"Hasn't the gap in absolute strength awakened you yet? Fool ......"
β¦β¦
"Five-tone piano sword. Guan Shanyue! "Baili Hongchen strokes the qin and dances the sword, and the sound of the qin and the sword roar carries the roughness and heroism of the soldiers outside the Saiwai, and Mo Wen, who has fallen into the calculation, how can he catch this move? He was too late to parry, he was slashed in the chest by a sword from Baili Hongchen and flew out upside down - fortunately, Mo Wen had already blessed himself with a defensive spell before, otherwise the injury he suffered at this time would not be as simple as a shock of qi and blood.
[Single-minded, the sound of the qin and the sword intent are combined to delay the enemy's action, and then a sword ......is fatal] Mo Wen in mid-air quickly found his balance, but he was slightly injured at this time, but he sneered at this time. [I see, mid-range combat is just a disguise, and it is your real intention to force the enemy to fight you according to your ideas with tricks!] γ
[Although your attack density is high enough, the strength is unsatisfactory, otherwise the sword just now will definitely hurt me seriously!] γ
[If you want to defeat the other party, you can't follow his rhythm...... I can't close the distance in long-range combat, but I don't believe that his level of hand-to-hand combat can really surpass me! Mo asked a little on his tiptoes and rushed to the luthier again. [Wan Ling's judgment will not be wrong, his strength should be slightly weaker than mine...... Let's go for it! γ.
γVictory or defeat has been decided......γFacing Mo Wen, the pianist showed a confident smile.
The heroic military song style changed instantly, and layers of killing machines erupted in the piano music, which was the lore that Baili Hongchen had planned for a long time, and it was also his strongest sword at present!
"Five-tone swan song. Ambush on all sides! β
[Are you prepared?] It doesn't matter......] Mo Wen, who was attacking with a sword, was unusually calm, and rushed straight to the direction where the violinist was, which was also the most chilling place for the killing machine. [Let's fight it out!] γ
γTai Chi Sword Reform. Anode. One force will drop ten! γ
β¦β¦
The high-pitched sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and in an instant, the two of them staggered.
"The premise of this trick is to make a lot of calculations." After being silent for a moment, Mo Wen, who was facing away from the pianist, slowly withdrew his sword: "A very strong trick, but you used it wrong!" β
Shhh As soon as Mo Wen's words fell, dozens of incisions were made in an instant in the Fusang robe he was wearing, and a large amount of blood gushed out, completely dyeing him into a bloody man.
But he still stood firmly.
"What's wrong?" Baili Hongchen, who had his back to Mo Wen, had a dry voice and a puzzled expression.
"Although ambush on all sides is a strategy, the core idea is to defeat the enemy with absolute strength." Mo Wen, who was hit hard, quickly stopped bleeding, "And your qin sword is too calculating, but it doesn't have the power to overwhelm people...... In short, even if the strength is slightly inferior, as long as the opponent has the determination to break the net, the loser must be unprepared for you. β
"I see, thank you for the advice." The violinist sighed, and a line of blood on his chest quickly spread, and then the whole person turned into white light and disappeared in place.
β¦β¦
"Yes, although there were some twists and turns, I still won!" As soon as Mo Wen returned to his personal space, Lias greeted him, as if she were the one who had won.
"I met such an opponent in the first game of the final...... Mo Wen was not complacent because of Lias's praise: "It seems that I overestimated myself." β
"Your Excellency, you might as well take a rest." Chiye Mengxiang noticed the faint tiredness between Mo Wen's eyebrows, and couldn't help but persuade: "One piece and one relaxation is the king." β
"Thank you for your concern, I'm okay." Mo Wen waved his hand, "There are still five hours until the next game, I have enough time to rest, before that, I want to ask ...... first"
Mo Wen's gaze swept over everyone: "Did you see anything from the previous battle?" β
β¦β¦
In the end, only the little vampire with a keen combat instinct vaguely sensed the deep meaning of the few minutes of battle between Mo Wen and Baili Hongchen, but the precocious and intelligent black god Mulong and the little devil who were good at attacking from a distance did not see the essence of Baili Hongchen's distance battle, which made Mo Wen a little disappointed.
In the next two battles, Mo Wen's opponents were both mages and were very strong, but Mo Wen won quite easily, and the reason was very simple.
It's speed!
The two travelers are also experienced in battle, so they naturally know their shortcomings and have the means to make up for them, but Mo Wen is too restrained - the first mage was stimulated by Mo Wen's attack at the beginning to activate the accidental spell fixed on his body and arbitrary door, and before he finished the spell casting posture, the deflection position and magic shield were forcibly broken through, the mage can be said to be fully prepared, and hurriedly used the spell scroll to transfer himself again...... After a few rounds of back and forth, after Mo Wen relied on his magic weapon and strength to withstand the fifth spell of the mage, the mage directly admitted defeat and surrendered.
The situation of the second mage is similar, but the means are somewhat different, and in the end, he was forced to a desperate situation and directly used the means of fighting, although Mo Wen was not lightly injured, but he was still unable to return to the sky.
After that, Mo Wen's luck exploded, he had a bye, and he managed to sneak into the round of 16 - which was already more than his expected goal.
Now, Mo Wen is facing the opponent of the sixteen-in-eight match - a thin man who wraps himself firmly in his robe, pulls down the hood and puts his face in shadow, and I am afraid that he has also cast a spell, anyway, with Mo Wen's eyesight, he can't see the opponent's face clearly.
[What a heavy breath of death...... I'm afraid this guy isn't alive. Mo Wen, who was a hundred meters away, carefully observed his opponent and slowly frowned.
The golden light dissipated, and the traveler on the opposite side showed a pale bone staff without saying a word, and the powerful death force formed a dark green vortex around him.
γCast in person...... Do you have nothing to fear? Mo Wen swung his sword at the same time, and a dazzling thunderbolt fell from the sky and landed on the tip of his sword.
In the next second, the surging tide of death collided with the thunderbolt of the raging thunder.
Thunder is the authority of the heavens, and it is naturally restrained by the power of demons and evils, even if the power attached to the spell of the opposite traveler is slightly superior to Mo Wen, but the result of this blow is evenly divided.
γPowerful Necromancer...... Or maybe it's still a lich. Mo Wen's figure flashed, and before the aftermath of the explosion dissipated, he attacked with his sword, and in less than two seconds, the monk passed through the chaotic flow of spiritual power and came to the opponent, swinging his sword and slashing down.
Clang!
To Mo Wen's surprise, the traveler did not use spells or dodge, but raised his staff to block Mo Wen's slash, and at this time, Mo Wen also took the opportunity to see the traveler's hands clearly-flesh and blood, but white and blue, lifeless, as if they were carved from jade.
[This is the ...... Refining corpses? Mo Wen was about to retreat when he was startled, but his opponent didn't give him a chance, and the traveler brandished his bone staff and launched an attack like a storm, forcing him to parry repeatedly, but he also lost the opportunity to retreat.
[This guy is purely using a staff as a spear...... And this power! At this time, Mo Wen's right arm was already a little numb. [If I don't break the game as soon as possible, I'll be in danger!] γ
[The enemy uses the marksmanship of the battle formation, fighting for his life, but his body is strong, and I will definitely suffer a loss if I exchange injuries for injuries. The monk gritted his teeth. [This guy's refining corpse body has not yet been completed, and there are still shortcomings......]
Bang Bang!
After two stabbing shots in succession, Mo Wen opened his mouth suddenly, and a thin pale golden flame erupted from his mouth, and the traveler also sensed the danger, and hurriedly raised his staff to meet him, and at the same time, a dark green dead qi erupted from his body, blocking the incoming flames.
Mo Wen also took this opportunity to distance himself from his opponent.
[Sure enough, the Extreme Yang True Fire in the monk's body was naturally restrained by his corpse refining body...... The loss is a little bigger, but it's much better than being suppressed to death. Mo Wen's face turned slightly pale, and forcibly stimulating the true fire in his body was also a big burden for him. [You are stronger than me in strength, but your speed is slightly inferior, and your skills are far behind...... Now, it's my turn to fight back! γ
"Huh...... General Mo really can't handle this kind of little trick. After being distanced by Mo Wen, the traveler did not pursue, but lifted his hood with his backhand, revealing a blue and white hideous smile: "I really didn't expect to meet you here......
"It turned out to be you......" Mo Wen's eyes flashed: "But I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have become more annoying, An Ming!" β
"Didn't you make me like this? But it's okay......" An Ming's miserable green pupils were full of murderous intent: "Immediately, I will tear you to pieces!" β
"Come out, my minions!" As soon as the corpse demon waved the bone staff, twelve black qi floated out of it, turning into skeletons and refining corpses, all of which were at the four-star level.
[That bone staff can also be used as a sealing carrier......] Mo Wen smiled coldly: "Do you think these guys are useful?" β
"You'll soon find out if it's useful." The corpse demon beats the staff. [Corpse Slayer God Array! ] γ
[Heaven and earth are righteous, and they will last forever! ] Mo Wen didn't pay any attention to the spreading death breath, but closed his eyes.
[Trick up! Seeing that Mo Wen closed his eyes in the array, the green light flashed in An Ming's eyes, the yin wind gusted, the ghosts were heavy, and the sound of wailing appeared from time to time...... It was clear that the corpse demon's circle was nearing completion.
[Only for the common people, but kill ghosts and gods!] At the moment when An Ming's Corpse Slayer God Array was about to be completed, Mo Wen suddenly opened his eyes, and the fierce momentum instantly forced the dark green qi around him out of the way.
[I know that you won't watch me complete the magic circle......] An Ming unhurriedly crushed a translucent turquoise orb, and rows of walls of white bones rose from the ground, protecting the corpse demon in it; At the same time, a large number of unjust souls poured out of the column, entangled towards Mo Wen, who rushed towards him with a sword.
Defense and curse, An Ming believes that Mo Wen will definitely not be able to stop himself from completing the magic circle.
Unfortunately, he only guessed half right.
Before the unjust soul could get close to Mo Wen, the aura that lingered around him was completely dissolved, and the wall of nine white bones was completely shattered by Mo Wen with a blow like tofu dregs, but these methods still delayed the monk for a little time, and An Ming successfully activated the corpse slaughtering god array. But what he never expected was that this corpse slaughtering god array couldn't stop Mo Wen's sword!
The sword light swept by, and the undead spirits who were the eyes of the array directly scattered into dry bones, and the ghosts and resentful spirits transformed by the aura of death were even more vulnerable; But in a second, Mo Wen, who performed the true method of slaying ghosts and gods, killed in front of An Ming, and slashed down with a sword, and the corpse demon recast his old skill and raised his staff to block, but Mo Wen How can this sword be compared to the previous sword? With a crisp click, the bone staff broke in two, and An Ming then turned into white light.
β¦β¦
"Master, why did that man lose so quickly?" After the end of the competition, Kurojin Mutaki and others surrounded him, obviously very puzzled by the sudden battle situation before.
"It's very simple, An Ming is only stronger than me in terms of physique, and later he used that magic circle to trap and kill the array...... I still have some research on the way of formation. Mo Wen explained: "I hit him directly, and he naturally couldn't stop it." β
"To be honest, An Ming is the weakest opponent I have ever faced in the final." Mo Wen said softly: "No matter whether those two mages or the Baili Hongchen they encountered at the beginning, he has a greater chance of winning...... It turned out that An Ming was the highest ranked, and this was luck. β
"You mean that as long as you are lucky enough, the guy who is in the middle of the middle among the more than 200 people can even become the first?" Lias pouted, "What a low odds." β
"No matter how low the odds are, it's possible." Mo Wen smiled: "Now that I have entered the quarterfinals, if I am lucky enough to meet the master who was restrained by me, it is not impossible to be the first." β
β¦β¦
The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.
"I really didn't expect the opponent to be you this time." Mo Wen looked at the familiar figure on the other side and sighed: "When I first saw you, I thought you were very strong......"
"Brother Mo is too humble." Cangqiong smiled slightly: "Against you, I am not sure of victory." β
"There's no more gossip." Mo asked Hengjian: "Sooner or later, there will be a fight, so let's come"
"And I'm curious...... "I'm also curious," the monk's eyes lit up, "I've fought alongside you many times, but I don't know where your limits are." β
"Me too." The sky clenched Xilan and put on a posture to meet the attack.
β¦β¦
"Master is in danger...... Black God looked at the two looming figures, and sighed: "The comprehensive suppression of speed, strength, and skill...... It's only a matter of time before you lose. β
"Not necessarily." Lias sang the opposite: "Don't ask that guy if he's a mage, there must be other means." β
"That's the key." The black god said with a straight face: "You should know that the sky can move instantly, right?" Master can't distance himself from him at all. β
"Sister Mengxiang, will the master lose meow?" Bai Qiong, who was lying on the little vampire's shoulder, asked in a milky voice.
ββ¦β¦ The odds are higher. Akaya Moeka stared closely at the figure that only had the power to parry, and replied softly.
β¦β¦
[Strength, reaction and technique are comprehensively suppressed...... I can surpass him with pure speed, but the speed that I can't control can only be used for running, which is almost useless in battle, and although the Eye of Destiny can only predict his attacks to a limited extent, I can only choose to parry. Mo Wen used his Tai Chi swordsmanship with all his might, resisting the fierce sword skills of the sky in embarrassment. [Twice relied on the magic weapon to forcibly distance himself from him, but this guy just posted it again in an instant......]
[However, this secret technique of retreat is also a lot of consumption for him......] Mo Wen can clearly perceive the sharp weakening of his opponent's aura after moving instantly. [Judging from the previous battles, there is absolutely no way for him to teleport twice in a row. γ
[Then ......]
β¦β¦
[Even if the profession of immortal cultivator claims to have no shortcomings, it is still inferior to a martial artist like us in close combat in the same time......] Cangqiong only used eight points of strength at this time, and he was still a little afraid of Mo Wen's methods. [Forcing a breakthrough again? This is the third time......]
[Looks like he must have a plan, I need to be careful.] γ
β¦β¦
"Phantom!" After distancing himself from the firmament again, Mo Wen did not prepare a large-scale Dao technique, but dozens of clones scattered in all directions.
[The breath is very realistic, I can't feel which one the real body is...... But it doesn't matter. The instantaneous sky immediately made a decision, and a sword swept out several zhang of sword light, involving all the doppelganger phantoms.
The translucent sword light struck like a tide, and one phantom after another shattered, but until then an illusion turned into light and dispersed, Mo Wen's true body did not appear.
[It's all fake? Not good! The firmament's complexion changed, and he hurriedly took up the heavenly clothes and condensed his defense.
Bang bang bang......
Dozens of sword qi sealed all the retreats of the martial artists with the power of the heaven and earth net, but this level of attack obviously did not pose a threat to the sky.
But this is just an appetizer, Mo Wen, who has been suppressed by the martial artist for five minutes, frantically unleashes spells, flames, ice, and thunder...... The machine-gun-like spell soon engulfed the warrior's figure completely.
γFeng Shui Rotation...... I don't believe you still have a chance......] Mo asked Hengjian to hold the spell, but before he could be happy for a while, the spatial fluctuations from behind him made him change his face.
[Forcibly teleported?] Mo Wen waved his sword and didn't look back, and the whole person rushed out at full speed in front of him.
"Ugh!" The firmament that had just teleported over felt that the spatial power that was originally like a finger arm was instantly furious, and in order to avoid being torn to pieces by the out-of-control spatial power, the martial artist had to pause slightly, and it was because of this momentary pause that Mo Wen escaped from his attack range again.
[It's trouble to fight with a mage who can distort space......] Against Mo Wen's wild bombardment, the sky took a deep breath. [It seems that he will be killed. γ
[Teleportation ......again] Mo Wen's heart moved, skillfully shook off his back hand and then dodged away, but to his surprise, the figure of the sky did not appear in the place he expected, and at the same moment, the spatial fluctuation of distance appeared in front of him.
[What is this?] Mo Wen was shocked from the bottom of his heart, and hurriedly blocked with his sword.
Sonor!
Cloud Shadow was directly shocked by the huge force, and Mo Wen only felt as if his whole hand did not belong to him...... But the attack of the firmament is not over yet.
With an ordinary straight stab, the pale cyan long sword shattered the wind and fire shield of the Fusang Dao robe, and Xuan Qingpei's spiritual power shield was easily pierced after a little more than half a second, and the tip of the sword that flashed with cold light slowly pressed towards Mo Wen's throat.
Blood splattered.
β¦β¦
"The way to cross the catastrophe with a substitute...... The timing was really good. The sky covered his right arm, and his eyes were still calm: "But if you exchange one left arm for my right arm sword, no matter how you look at it, it's a loss." β
"No loss." Mo Wen, whose left arm was cut off at the root, grinned: "If it weren't for that, I would have lost...... Now there is at least hope of a comeback. β
"It's also ......" Cangqiong nodded, and then changed his words: "The right-hand sword and the left-handed sword have no effect on me, but if you lack the left hand, I'm afraid you won't be able to use a lot of spells...... Even so, do you still want to fight? β
"Don't be too confident...... After sealing the wound, Mo asked the one-armed horizontal sword, and his fighting spirit was high: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and until the last moment, the victory or defeat is not yet known!" β
β¦β¦
"Hint: Your results in the world's No. 1 martial arts club are: Quarterfinals, which will affect your final evaluation."
"In the end, I still lost......" Mo Wen, who had already returned to the space, sighed.
"Be content, you ......" Lias glanced at Mo angrily, "I didn't expect you to come this far...... The top eight powerhouses among countless travelers! β
"Top eight? Didn't you see that there was a final evaluation in the notice given by Wan Ling? Mo Wen shook his head: "The luck component of this one-on-one knockout is too big. β
"Didn't Wan Ling inform that luck is also a kind of strength?" The little vampire was a little confused.
"The world's No. 1 martial arts meeting is about selecting the strongest traveler, and strength is not only reflected in battle and ......luck," Mo Wen said softly: "I don't know how Wan Ling wants to play besides the competition...... It's not going to be a written exam, is it? β
β¦β¦
"Oops...... It's hard to win. Back in the firmament of space, he moved his healed body: "This guy is the strongest opponent I've ever faced." β
"You shouldn't use a two-stage flash." Nagato Yuki said lightly: "Although you are suppressed, the consumption on the other side is much greater than yours, as long as you play steadily and improvise, it must be him who loses!" β
"I understand...... But such a slow way really doesn't match my character. "The sky spreads its hands.
"Just because of your adventurous blow, it seems that you have the upper hand, but in fact, it gives Mo Wen a chance to win." The literary girl stared at the sky with a hippie smile: "Your advantage over him is limited, as long as there is a slight mistake, you will lose!" β
"Didn't I win?" The sky smiled flatteringly.
ββ¦β¦ Leave it to you. Looking at the heartless smile of the firmament, Nagato Yuki only felt weak: "Wan Ling has passed on the name of your opponent, I hope you can still laugh in a while." β
"Who......" As soon as the firmament moved its mind, it found the message, and then its face became extremely strange.
"Isn't it...... The world is so small. β
β¦β¦
"The world's No. 1 martial arts club - the finals have ended, and now the rewards will be released." Three minutes after Mo Wen appeared, Wan Ling appeared in front of him.
"It's over so soon?" Mo asked and raised his eyebrows: "Isn't there a five-hour break after every competition?" β
"The speed of time flow is different for the participants and other travelers." Wan Ling simply answered Mo Qian's question, and then Zhengse informed, "You will be given a mission as a reward for entering the finals and the final test of the world's No. 1 martial arts club. β
β¦β¦
"Ahh......h I actually lost again! "The sky grabbed the ground with its head, and it was very sad and angry.
"Lost all six battles." Zi Yu made up for it lightly.
"That's what he hung up!" The sky gritted its teeth: "If I had such a perverted bloodline......"
"Losing is losing, don't make excuses." The literary girl pouted: "The notice of all souls has arrived, and you still have a chance." β
ββ¦β¦ The ultimate test? β
