No hope for eternal life

Chapter 117: Battle with the Refiner

"No problem." Mu Changsheng agreed immediately. Mu Xun and Mu Qian were both extremely powerful sword practitioners. It would be great if they could hold each other back.

Then, the referee gave an order and announced the start of the competition.

At the beginning, Mu Xun took the lead and rushed straight to Mu Qian. Perhaps because he had figured it out, Mu Xun became more decisive when he drew his sword. Mu Changsheng said to Zhang Yuxu: "You stay and guard the two girls. Remember, we must win this battle."

If they lose this competition, Mu Changsheng and others will have to defeat the two groups from the top five counties if they want to enter the top five, which will undoubtedly be more difficult.

"I understand. Win at all costs." Zhang Yuxu nodded. He understood Mu Changsheng's hidden meaning, which was a hint that he could use the Lihuo Talisman at will during the competition, with winning as the goal.

When Mu Changsheng saw that Zhang Yuxu understood what he meant, he immediately rushed forward to prevent Mu Xun from being attacked alone.

Mu Qian had already discussed the countermeasures. Lu Linglong held Mu Changsheng alone, Mu Qian held Mu Xun, and the remaining three attacked Zhang Yuxu and the other two in the back.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng also understood the other party's plan. This was similar to the strategy of the Jiushan County team before, which was to defeat Zhang Yuxu first.

Mu Changsheng was not in a hurry about this, because Zhang Yuxu, Song Zhi and the other two could use the Lihuo Talisman, which could at least last for a long time. Moreover, Song Zhi also had a trump card to use, which was a great deterrent, enough to make the three people who besieged Zhang Yuxu be careful and guard against it, and be restrained when taking action.

Therefore, the key to breaking the deadlock lies in Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun. As long as one of them can defeat the opponent, the overall situation will be decided.

After figuring this out, Mu Changsheng immediately used a spirit-summoning talisman to enhance his own strength, and then attacked Lu Linglong directly.

Seeing this, Lu Linglong first took out a round shield and floated it in the air. This was a defensive spiritual weapon that she had made herself, and she was ready to use it to deal with Mu Changsheng's attack at any time.

At the same time, Lu Linglong used a round mirror, and a bright red beam of light came out of the round mirror and attacked Mu Changsheng.

The round mirror was also a spiritual weapon refined by Lu Linglong, and its grade had reached the third grade. Its attack power was no less powerful than the full-strength attack of an ordinary Jindan early stage cultivator.

Facing the attack of the round mirror, Mu Changsheng also knew from the intelligence that it was extremely powerful, and immediately used a Lihuo Talisman.

The Lihuo Talisman transformed into a white fire dragon and collided with the bright red light column, canceling out each other's attacks.

"I've never seen this guy use the Fire Separation Talisman before, but he uses it right away. His momentum is very strong." Lu Linglong became alert and began to retreat. She did not forget that her mission was to delay Mu Changsheng, not to defeat him.

When Mu Changsheng saw Lu Linglong running away, he chased after her with all his might.

However, due to the limited space on the arena and the fact that Lu Linglong did not dare to lead Mu Changsheng to another battle, Lu Linglong was soon caught up by Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng didn't waste any time and punched Lu Linglong.

Lu Linglong quickly recalled the round shield floating beside her, and holding the round shield, she blocked Mu Changsheng's attacking fist.

The surface of the round shield was glowing. It was the formation in the defensive spiritual weapon that was taking effect. It could dissolve a part of Mu Changsheng's fist force. Lu Linglong used the remaining fist force to retreat and escape.

At the same time, three flying knives suddenly appeared behind Lu Linglong and attacked Mu Changsheng at a tricky angle.

This is exactly Lu Linglong's secret technique of controlling objects. She doesn't even need to hold the flying knife to attack, so the attack is extremely secretive and sudden.

Lu Linglong also knew that Mu Changsheng's body was strong, so when she attacked with the flying knife, she targeted the eyes, throat and other vulnerable parts.

Mu Changsheng was not surprised to see this, as this was also recorded in the intelligence, and he had already taken precautions against it.

Mu Changsheng's hands were as fast as lightning. He caught two flying knives respectively. The remaining flying knife was deflected by his neck, and it stabbed into his shoulder.

The flying knife was very powerful and cut through the skin and pierced into Mu Changsheng's shoulder, but Mu Changsheng took the opportunity to confiscate it.

At this point, Mu Changsheng had disarmed all three of Lu Linglong's flying knives. These flying knives were specially made by Lu Linglong, the weapon refiner. Even if Lu Linglong had some spare ones, there would definitely not be many. So every time Mu Changsheng confiscated a flying knife, it was equivalent to weakening Lu Linglong's strength in disguise.

On the other side, Lu Linglong took advantage of the time when Mu Changsheng was collecting the flying knife and immediately fled far away.

Mu Changsheng didn't stand for it and directly used two Fire Talismans to stop Lu Linglong.

When Lu Linglong saw that Mu Changsheng had used two more Fire Talismans, she was shocked and quickly activated the round mirror.

The round mirror emitted a beam of light, which dispelled an attack from the Fire Talisman.

However, the round mirror was only a third-grade spiritual weapon after all. With Lu Linglong's cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Stage, she could not activate it continuously in a short period of time.

Therefore, Lu Linglong could only rely on herself to deal with the remaining second attack of the Lihuo Talisman.

"Boom." After the violent explosion, Lu Linglong's figure appeared. She once again held the round shield and blocked the attack of the Lihuo Talisman, but her figure was blown back repeatedly.

Mu Changsheng predicted in advance, went around behind Lu Linglong, and then waited for Lu Linglong who was blown back. Seeing this, Mu Changsheng naturally would not miss this great opportunity, and immediately punched Lu Linglong again.

Lu Linglong was speechless when she saw this. She had just blocked the attack of the Lihuo Talisman, and Mu Changsheng came again, really not giving her any time to catch her breath.

Helplessly, Lu Linglong had to raise the round shield in her hand again to block Mu Changsheng's attack.

"Bang bang." Mu Changsheng's two consecutive punches were blocked by the round shield, and Lu Linglong used the force to escape again.

However, although the round shield blocked Mu Changsheng's attack again, the light on the surface of the round shield dimmed a lot.

"Oh no, Mu Changsheng's power is too strong." As the owner of the round shield, Lu Linglong was the first to discover the changes in the round shield. She couldn't help but be shocked. This was an extremely dangerous signal, indicating that her defensive spiritual weapon was approaching its limit. If Mu Changsheng continued to hit her like this, her round shield would be destroyed.

This is also the reason why the martial arts test allows weapon refiners to use defensive spiritual weapons. Because the weapon refiners' cultivation is limited, the quality of the defensive spiritual weapons they refine is limited, and their endurance is also limited. It depends on whether the opponent has the ability to break the limit of the defensive spiritual weapon, and Mu Changsheng obviously has that ability.

Afterwards, Lu Linglong saw Mu Changsheng chasing after her again, and her mouth twitched slightly, but she had no choice but to deal with it.

Lu Linglong once again activated her third-grade round mirror to attack the spiritual weapon. A bright red beam of light shot out from the round mirror, blocking Mu Changsheng.

At the same time, Lu Linglong took out three spare flying knives. Under her control, the flying knives and the light beams attacked Mu Changsheng together, trying to intercept Mu Changsheng's relentless figure.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng used the same trick again. He first used a Lihuo Talisman to block the attack from the round mirror, and then avoided the vital points and deliberately let the flying knife pierce into his body. He then took the opportunity to confiscate the flying knife.

After going through the whole process, Mu Changsheng's movements were smooth and efficient, and it only took him a moment to resolve Lu Linglong's attack. The interception plan implemented by Lu Linglong was obviously ineffective.

Then, Mu Changsheng continued to chase Lu Linglong without stopping.

But just when Mu Changsheng was about to catch up with Lu Linglong, Lu Linglong suddenly stopped running and shouted loudly: "I give up."
