Chapter 287 Suspicion
"Ping Ping Pong!"
The two men fought frequently, and two sword shadows, one red and one black, stirring together, making deafening sounds of metal collision.
Shi Mu swung the black knife in his hand freely, and used the Fengchi sword technique one by one, without the heavy shadows of the past. However, the sword technique was changing, sometimes sharp and sometimes flexible, giving people a feeling of returning to nature.
No matter how fierce the man in red robe attacked, he would easily take it all, which made Yu Yi and others stunned.
As the weapons and swords intersected one after another, Shi Mu gradually figured out the law of the black sword of the meteorite swallowing true energy.
The black sword can only swallow the opponent's weapons or the true energy contained in the attack when it touches the true energy. Although the amount of it is not devoured, the effect it produces when facing the enemy is not underestimated.
After all, when masters fight, the difference between the front line can sometimes affect the outcome of the battle!
The man with red robe attacked for a while. Although the true energy in his body was passing by quickly, his attack became increasingly powerless, and his sword technique gradually became distracted, and he complained secretly in his heart.
Shi Mu had almost got the desired result at this moment, and he had no intention of continuing to get entangled with this person. With the urging of the true energy in his hand, the black knife suddenly accelerated.
Dangdangdangdangdangdang!
Shi Mu used the thirteen-in-one Fengchi sword technique three times in an instant, slashing out three black sword lights about a staircase, slashing at the other side in an astonishing momentum.
The man with red robe was shocked and waved the long red sword in his hand to catch it. However, his body shook and retreated repeatedly. Even with his current zombie body, his whole arm was still numb.
In fact, this is because Shi Mu did not show his full strength due to the competition rules!
After three consecutive moves, Shi Mu approached like a shadow. The sword light turned around and transformed into a ball of sword flowers, wrapping the red sword in the hand of the man.
The man with red robe had a very numb and numb arms, so he could not hold it down. The sword in his hand suddenly flew out.
With a "bang", Shi Mu took the opportunity to punch the man in the chest, causing him to fly away from the clouds and mist.
The force of this punch was just right, knocking the opponent away, so that the opponent's zombie body would not be damaged.
Before the red-robed man's body fell, a white chain had flashed and tied his body.
With a "bang", the man with red robe fell heavily to the ground, and his black hair quickly faded away, and his swelling and blue body also returned to his original state.
Seeing this, Hussele, who had been waiting aside, saw this, his eyes flashed with joy, he quickly stepped forward, grabbed the hat on his head, and then quickly flashed back.
The red-robed man's eyes were full of resentment, but at this moment, most of his true energy was lost in his body, and his whole body was tied up by the chains of Qi rings, unable to break free at all, and he could only let the mermaid meat.
"Okay, let's go."
Shi Mu glanced at the hat in Husselei's hand, put away the knife and retreated, waved his hand to untie the Qi ring pile.
The man with red robe stood up, his body had returned to his original state. He glanced at Shi Mu, sighed helplessly, picked up the battle knife, and walked towards the audience.
Several other companions of the Han Dynasty also escaped from the earthen prison technique at this moment, but after witnessing the battle between Shi Mu and the red-robed man, they did not have the slightest desire to fight, and quickly retreated to the distance.
While Shi Mu won the magic hat for Hussele, the competition on the field had completely fallen into heat. Many people on the ring gradually lost their patience and rationality at the beginning, and began to become anxious and violent.
After all, not everyone can tolerate this kind of weird competition rules that are timid.
While the outbreak of the conflict caused casualties, more and more people immediately lost their qualifications to compete and were taken away from the arena by the deacon disciples. At the same time, many people inexplicably successfully advanced.
Less than an hour before the competition began, there were only less than three thousand people left on the ring.
"It seems that I'm the only one left next. Please wait for a moment!"
Shi Mu looked at the hats in the hands of Yu Yi and the four others, said something, and then he stretched out his body and rushed into the crowd ahead like a swimming fish.
Before Yu Yi and the other three could react, Shi Mu had no trace of it.
In the distance, Shi Mu had a faint green light and his figure was flying. In just a few breaths, he came to the ring and blocked directly in front of a four-person team.
He looked at one of the tall and thin young men with unscrupulous eyes. The number on the magic hat on his head was "four hundred and thirty".
The four of them in the team only felt that they were shaking in front of them, and Shi Mu had already appeared in front of him.
The tall and thin young man felt Shi Mu's sharp gaze like a hawk, and immediately thought of something. He took a stern look and took a step back, and put a green jade Ruyi in his hand in front of him.
"If your target is one of the four of me, I would like to advise you to give up your heart!" Among the four, a middle-aged man with a long face with a leader took a step forward, and a rune on the surface of a green iron ruler about a foot long in his hand was lingering in his hand, and he shouted loudly.
While speaking, the other three people had already dispersed and opened their bodies. They aimed the wooden sticks and other magical tools in their hands at Shi Mu, and began to chant something and come.
All four of them are star-level sorcerers, and they can be said to be both offensive and defensive with the power of the four. There are almost no rivals in the current arena. At this moment, three of them have obtained magic hats as they wish, and they are still one short of being able to escape unscathed.
Regarding Shi Mu's appearance, they naturally thought it was an act of overestimating their abilities, so the four of them planned to work together to shoot down the magic hat on Shi Mu's head and let him get out directly.
However, Shi Mu's figure was shaking without saying a word, and his figure suddenly became blurred.
At this moment, the ground under Shi Mu's feet broke open, and several green vines as thick as adult's arms rolled out, tied their feet, then several ice cones, wind blades, and fireballs flew out from the magic weapons in the hands of the other three warlocks, attacking towards the magic hat on Shi Mu's head from three directions.
However, immediately, Shi Mu's figure suddenly disintegrated, and it was just a afterimage!
The next moment, Shi Mu suddenly appeared behind the four people. The black meteorite knife in his hand flashed and turned into four sword lights, slashing towards the four people.
The four of them were shocked and quickly turned around and activated the magic weapon in their hands to use magic to resist.
"Room" sounded randomly.
The four of them were in a hurry and finally blocked the four sword lights that swept through.
However, at this moment, Shi Mu shook his body and retreated several feet away, and there was an extra magic hat in his hand.
The tall and thin young man was stunned, touched his head with his hands and found that it was empty, and his face suddenly changed.
Just as they fought, Shi Mu attacked four people at the same time, forcing the four people to resist, but he still had time to take away the hat.
The strength of both sides is not the same level at all.
"Thank you for your hat, I promised it!" Shi Mu bowed slightly, shook his body, and rushed towards the distance, and disappeared from the sight of the four people in a blink of an eye.
The other three looked at the tall and thin man with sympathy. Being targeted by such a powerful enemy was only because of his bad luck.
At the same time, Yu Yi and the other four had retreated to a corner of the ring and stood still, looking around with caution.
"Let's wait for a long time." A figure bloomed, and Shi Mu rushed from afar.
"This... Fellow Daoist Mu was joking. It was only half a quarter of an hour before Brother Mu had already got the hat. I admire him." Yu Yi glanced at the hat in Shi Mu's hand and said admiringly.
"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Mu is young and his martial arts warriors are so powerful."
"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Mu, I'm afraid this competition might not have been so easy!"
The young man surnamed Luo and the young woman surnamed Yi were also sighing.
Husselei looked at Yu Yi and the other three silently, as if he was secretly proud, glad that he had followed the right person.
"Several people have won the award. Since everyone has already won the hats, let's step down to avoid the long nights and dreams." Shi Mu said.
The other four people naturally had no objection. The five people quickly walked off the ring and, led by the deacon disciple, came to a small palace building near the ring.
"Congratulations to you all for successfully passing the second competition. Please follow me." In the palace, a middle-aged man came up and walked into the room with five people.
A moment later, several people came to a side hall inside, where more than a hundred disciples of the Mingyue Sect were standing, and they should be the winners of the second round.
"Five people wait, and someone will take you to the location of the third competition later." said the middle-aged man.
"Will the third competition start immediately?" Yu Yi was surprised and asked.
"Yes, it's not convenient to disclose the specific matters. Please wait for a while here and someone will explain it later." The middle-aged man bowed and turned around and walked out of the side hall.
"Then let's wait here." Shi Mu glanced at him and said.
It seems that the winners of the second round were taken away in batches, otherwise there would not be only more than a hundred people here.
A lot of seats were specially placed for everyone in the side hall, and the five of them immediately found a place to sit down.
Time passed by minute by minute, and more and more people came to the side hall.
Half a quarter of an hour later, almost two hundred people gathered in the side hall.
At this moment, a side door in the side hall was opened with a creaking sound, and a young woman in gray dress walked in.
This person looks over twenty years old and has a pretty face, but his face is cold and he has a faint sense of evil spirit.
Shi Mu felt the aura of this person and was slightly shocked. This woman was obviously of the earth level cultivation, and should be an elder or the palace master of the Mingyue Sect.
The others in the side hall naturally noticed the woman and stopped talking.
"You guys come with me." The young woman in gray skirt glanced at everyone and said.
After saying this, the woman walked to a corner of the side hall and slapped the wall twice.
A dull sound of "Ka" was heard, and the wall cracked a arched entrance about a foot high, and it was dark inside and I don't know where to go.
"Everyone comes in, I'll take you to the venue of the third competition." The young woman in gray skirt said, and walked into the entrance first.
Everyone in the side hall looked at each other for a few glances and followed.
"I feel that this selection is quite mysterious. I really don't know what the third round of competition is?" Yu Yi murmured to himself.
"Let's watch the change." Shi Mu nodded, and he was also a little confused, always feeling something was wrong.
He did not enter the entrance immediately, but looked towards the entrance of the side hall.
At this moment, a small colorful figure flew from the entrance of the side hall and landed on Shi Mu's shoulder. It was Cai'er.
Yu Yi and others looked at Shi Mu in surprise.
"Let's go." Shi Mu didn't explain anything and walked into the entrance first.
Chapter completed!
