Chapter 42: Victory Without a Fight
The annual Zongbi of the Hulu Sect officially began.
Five peaks and twelve academies, each academy sent four outstanding disciples to participate in the competition, that is to say, a total of forty-eight people from the twelve academies participated in the Zongbi.
The two faced off, and the first round was divided into twenty-four matches.
Xin Mu was divided into the last game.
In a corner of the Qingyun battlefield, Xin Mu flew away and walked into the twenty-fourth martial arts arena.
The competition field is 100 meters in circumference and is covered with a transparent protective shield.
Xin Mu looked around and stood solemnly.
At this moment, he is calm and relaxed, it doesn't matter who his opponent is, the important thing is that he will win.
Between breaths, a stocky figure floated into the arena where Xin Mu was.
"Hey, it's you?!" exclaimed the man in undisguised exclamation.
Xin Mu smiled slightly, he knew someone who came, it was Liu Fu, the [Miscellaneous Courtyard] who often guarded the sect.
"Hello Senior Brother Liu!"
"You're Xin Mu, right?!" Liu Fu looked Xin Mu up and down, there were not many people in [Xuanyuan], and he had basically seen them, and he guessed that the blue-clothed young man in front of him was Xin Mu.
Liu Fu was surprised in his heart at this moment, Xin Mu seemed to be just a cultivator of the Creation Realm, why did it rumor that he was very powerful, and he crippled the first person of the younger generation of the [Tibetan Academy], Wang Zhilei in the middle of the Yuan Shen Realm?!
How is that possible?!I can't see anything special about Xinmu!
"Xin Mu, are you sure you can win against me? If you can't win, admit defeat as soon as possible, and save your feelings!" Liu Fu took words to probe.
"Senior Brother Liu, you can't beat me by mouth!"
"Hehe, hey, okay! Then let me see how powerful the rumored first person of the new disciple is!"
Liu Fu said that his body flickered, and the big knife in his hand turned into a white light, competing with the sun, dazzling eyes, making people dare not look directly.
The blade trembled slightly, the Yuan Force in the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm was surging wildly, the earthy yellow Yuan Qi was endless, the air was hissing, and the momentum was quite amazing.
Liu Fu's knife skills are not weak, fast and fierce, and extremely aggressive, slashing through the air and slashing at Xin Mu.
Xin Mu's face was calm, holding the [Star Picking Knife] in his hand, motionless.
He didn't need to use a knife, he could easily defeat Liu Fu with the spiritual power of the [Nine Seal Rune Master] alone, but he didn't do that. Of course, the strong are not afraid of making enemies, but they also can't help but make friends.
Xin Mu used a knife just to save face for Liu Fu, and he felt that a chubby little man was not bad.
Liu Fu smiled in his heart, seeing that the big knife was about to cut Xin Mu, he thought to himself, it seems that the rumors are not true, Xin Mu can't even dodge his own knife.
In the next moment, the big knife in Liu Fu's hand slashed firmly at Xin Mu's body.
Xin Mu's figure suddenly disappeared like water vapor.
"What?!"
Liu Fu secretly screamed that it was not good, what he cut was not Xin Mu, but just an afterimage of Xin Mu, how could this be possible? !
When did Xin Mu dodge, Liu Fu didn't see it clearly at all, so fast!
Liu Fu felt a chill behind him, and he had an ominous premonition, only to feel that a big knife with cold light penetrating the bones behind his back was falling unstoppably.
He immediately turned around, but saw Xin Mu standing quietly behind him, motionless, the cold and shining big knife in his hand, quietly hanging low, as if he had fallen asleep.
Liu Fu was in a cold sweat, and he was secretly shocked in his heart, Xin Mu didn't do anything for it, if Xin Mu had attacked before, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have time to react.
Liu Fu didn't think much about it, and turned around with a knife.
However, in the next moment, what Liu Fu slashed was still a phantom, and Xin Mu appeared on the other side like a ghost.
"Good body!" Liu Fu roared and attacked like a shadow.
Next, at the 24th venue, a strange scene occurred, Liu Fu chased and slashed frantically, but he didn't find anything, but Xin Mu dodged like a ghost, there was no danger, and it was easy.
Some of the disciples who were close to the twenty-fourth field looked sideways, attracted by this strange scene, and they quickly understood the situation.
One seems to take the initiative, but is as tired as a donkey.
One seems to be passively dodging, blocking with a knife from time to time, but firmly grasps the rhythm of the battle.
Judging from above, Liu Fu is obviously not the opponent of the young man in blue.
"Who's that guy in blue?!
"I don't know how to do it! I've never seen it before! It may be a late show!"
Several disciples whispered, they were all cultivators in the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, and their horizons were naturally not low.
"Well, do you see it? It's not that guy doesn't have a chance to shoot, but he deliberately doesn't make a move!"
"You mean the boy in blue has a plan to let ?!"
"Well, maybe I didn't want Liu Fu to lose too badly! I really didn't expect that there were still kind cultivators. ”
At this moment, a child and a little golden monkey came to the side of the 24th field, which was Wu Xuan and Xiao Jin who came to watch the battle.
"Little man, chop Xinmu! don't let him get out of the way!"
"Cut, little man, you can't go any faster!"
Wu Xuan sighed loudly in disappointment when he saw that Liu Fu didn't cut Xin Mu again.
"Little man, give it to me, defeat Xin Mu, quack quack......" Xiao Jin also followed Wu Xuan to cheer there.
Xin Mu listened to the words of Wu Xuan and Xiao Jin, and scolded in his heart, these two pieces of goods, this is another treasure here!
Xin Mu felt that Liu Furen was not bad, and he intended to make concessions, which was just one of them.
What's more, Xin Mu had just absorbed the energy of the Yellow Sacred Sweet Spring and was promoted to the [Sanquan Sweet Sacred Body], and he was not very adaptable to the new physical strength, so he wanted to use this battle to sharpen his body skills and lay a good foundation for the next competition.
The battle is fought in a rhythm where one side attacks frantically and the other side dodges easily.
......
After the time of a stick of incense.
Liu Fu stopped, covered in sweat, and said with a bitter face, "If you don't fight, I will admit defeat!"
"Promise!" Xin Mu smiled and returned the salute with a fist.
"It should be said that it is me who concedes, Ha Luha, Senior Brother Xin Mu is really strong, and I, Liu Fugan, bow down. ”
Liu Fu is not a fool, he has already seen that Xin Mu intends to make concessions, if Xin Mu makes a move, he is afraid that he will be defeated long ago.
The reason why Liu Fu has fought so far is because he was surprised to find that Xin Mu corrected many of his mistakes in his knife technique with the position where his body appeared after each dodge, and accurately pointed out the loopholes in his knife technique with a seemingly inadvertent block.
What a profound sword attainment!
While Liu Fu was surprised, he was also grateful in his heart, Xin Mu not only saved him enough face, but also pretended to inadvertently guide the knife technique.
In this battle, Liu Fu gained a lot, which gave him a new understanding of knife techniques.
Liu Fu admitted that he had failed, but he was very happy in his heart, and he admired Xin Mu.
The elder in charge of the referee of the fast field reached out and stroked the white beard on his chin, smiled with satisfaction, and glanced at Xin Mu up and down, obviously very satisfied with Xin Mu's performance. If every match is like this, Zongbi will really be a blessing for the [Hulu Sect].
"Xin Mu Sheng!"
With the end of the competition between Xin Mu and Liu Fu, the first round of the competition is basically over.
Lu Qiaoqiao, Jin Buchang and Tang Bobo also won.
In the first round, all four members of [Xuanyuan] advanced.
Liufeng, who was sitting on the cloud chair, saw such a result, and the smile on his face became even bigger.
The second round of the competition began immediately.
In the second round, there is no need to reallocate the venues, and the winners of the two venues will compete directly according to the order of the venues.
The winner of Court 24 will play the winner of Court 1, the winner of Court 23 will play the winner of Court 2, and so on.
Time was in a hurry, and after Xin Mu only kicked the cheering Wu Xuan, he walked into the twelfth court.
Jin escaped the beating and laughed to himself.
In the twelfth venue, there was a young man with a long sword in his hand, with a slender figure, a handsome face, and a dignified appearance, quite a bit of a swordsman's demeanor.
Those who know him know that his name is Wang Tao, he is the first person of the younger generation of the [Sword Academy], and he can also rank in the top eight in the entire [Hulu Sect] Twelve Courtyards.
Around the martial arts arena, there were a lot of people gathered, and they were basically disciples of the [Sword Academy].
How far the [Sword Academy] can go in this sect competition depends on Wang Tao, so it attracted all the disciples of the [Sword Academy] to come and cheer.
When Xin Mu walked into the martial arts arena, all the disciples of the surrounding [Sword Academy] were overjoyed.
Because they saw that Xin Mu's cultivation realm was only the completion of the creation realm.
In the entire [Gourd Sect], only new disciples can be in this cultivation realm, and the worst old man in the [Gourd Sect] is also the early stage of the Yuan Shen Realm.
Unless there is really no suitable candidate, the head of each house will arrange for a new person to participate in the Zongbi.
With his feet, he could figure out that this blue-clothed young man must be a disciple of the academies at the bottom of the rankings.
All the disciples of the [Sword Academy], including Wang Tao, felt that their luck was really good!
If you run into a senior brother from the Yuan Shen Realm of other academies, it will definitely take a lot of trouble. And when you meet a new disciple, everything is much easier!
With one sword, with just one sword, Wang Tao has the confidence to win.
"Throw in the towel! You're no match for me!"
Xin Mu smiled faintly, a little incomprehensible in his heart, where did these people get their confidence?!
"How do you know if you don't fight?!"
"Shhhh
There was boos all around.
"Ouch! this kid is crazy!"
"Little junior brother, don't be ignorant! Senior Brother Wang asked you to admit defeat for your own good! If you accidentally cripple you in a fight, you will regret it!"
"That's it! Throw in the towel! Don't waste time!"
I saw Xin Mu smile coldly, and with a shake of his right hand, a starry big knife condensed out of the void, and the cold air overflowed, making everyone tremble slightly.
"Good knife!" many people exclaimed, this knife should be a treasure.
"What about a good knife?!"
The corners of Wang Tao's mouth on the opposite side were hooked, a disdainful chuckle appeared on his face, the long sword in his hand shook, the sword came out like a rainbow, the sword aura overflowed, the air in the entire No. 12 martial arts arena condensed slightly, and a layer of ripples appeared on the protective cover.
"Good!"
"Good swordsmanship!"
"Senior Brother Wang is mighty!"
The disciples of the surrounding [Sword Academy] cheered, and many people had already begun to celebrate Wang Tao's defeat with one sword in advance.
