Chapter 542: Chapter 491 Qingyun First_2
Seeing his initial strike unsuccessful, Qi Lingzi immediately commanded his incarnations wielding swords, spears, hammers and other weapons, to continue their assault.
Although their weapons varied wildly, each one was a meticulously crafted Spiritual Artifact, unmatched in sharpness and of overwhelming power.
However, all of this had no effect on Xu Mu.
Xu Mu’s Vanquisher of Tribulations, as long as not killed in one hit, could quickly recover and consequently became stronger.
Thus, this level of intense attack from the opponent was not an attack for him; rather, it appeared to be aiding him in getting stronger.
So, Xu Mu was not in a rush, and continued to wear down his opponent. Although it seemed like he could be defeated at any moment, he remained undefeated.
The stalemate continued just like this.
The first to falter was Qi Lingzi.
Although his cultivation level was double that of Xu Mu, Xu Mu’s Thunderring Martial Method was bizarrely ferocious and completely unconventional, which put him at a significant disadvantage in the fight.
The most crucial point was that even though he had more than a dozen incarnations, his true body was still there. Over a long period, his true body would inevitably be affected.
Qi Lingzi had no choice but to suppress Xu Mu, forcing him to battle his true body.
Only in this way could he possibly win the combat.
However, Xu Mu wouldn’t let him succeed so easily and immediately counterattacked.
Boom!
Purple thunder-bolts transformed into a thunder dragon, hitting one of the incarnations hard, hurling it away.
Seeing one of his incarnations destroyed, Qi Lingzi immediately retreated in shock.
It was not his true body but simply an incarnation that was condensed using special methods.
If not for this, he would have met Xu Mu head-on with his true body already, instead of letting Xu Mu destroy his incarnations.
Qi Lingzi knew in his heart that he had picked a tough opponent this time.
Xu Mu was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. His Vanquisher of Tribulations was bizarrely strong.
If he lost this battle, he would forfeit his opportunity to compete for the championship.
At this moment, Qi Lingzi began to take the fight seriously, not daring to hold anything back.
He made hand signs, and immediately a green light gathered above his head, transforming into a green flying sword.
Simultaneously, a crack abruptly opened in the ground beneath his feet, and a burst of black mist charged towards the sky.
Before Xu Mu could even react, the black mist transformed into a black whirlwind, wrapping him up within.
Xu Mu, trapped inside this black whirlwind, felt a powerful gust of wind surrounding him and his vision instantly became blurry.
He was taken aback as the black whirlwind had a strong corrosive power. If it were to erode his body, it would cause severe injuries or even a complete loss of his cultivation base.
Moreover, this black whirlwind also affected the functioning of his Thunderring Martial Method.
Boom!
Thunder blazed on Xu Mu’s body as he tried to repel the black whirlwind with thunder power.
However, the black whirlwind seemed sentient and immediately entwined him again, continuing to envelop him.
Just as the black whirlwind was about to make contact with Xu Mu’s body, a loud explosion rang out from within.
Then, the black whirlwind exploded instantly, and a figure flew out from it.
Xu Mu!
Xu Mu had thunder flashing all over his body; his face was pale as a sheet. It was evident that the previous action had overtaxed him.
But at least he was still alive and had not suffered any severe injuries.
On the other hand, Qi Lingzi’s face was not much better than Xu Mu’s. He had expected to take down Xu Mu with his previous move, but Xu Mu had eluded him again.
What secret was this young man harboring that made him so hard to handle?
Qi Lingzi was shocked but his determination to uncover the secrets of Xu Mu grew even further.
Otherwise, in future battles, he could easily fall into the hands of others if he wasn’t careful.
Qi Lingzi, seeing that he was unable to gain an upper hand over Xu Mu for the time being, decided not to waste any more time, and resorted to his last technique.
He made hand signs again, and immediately his dozen or so incarnations attacked Xu Mu simultaneously.
Each incarnation held a powerful Spiritual Artifact, their onslaught overwhelming and compelling.
And he, his true body, holding a green flying sword, transformed into a beam of green light shooting towards Xu Mu.
He had almost never used this move before, the only time being during a fight with a master in the Refining Void stage.
But the outcome was that he was counter-attacked and killed by the opponent. If it wasn’t for his great fortune, the mastery of his skill that fears not lightning and fire, he would’ve lost his life a long time ago.
In this moment, he manifested and released all of his cultivation and attacked Xu Mu with everything he got.
He had resolved to take down Xu Mu. Otherwise, he would inevitably be entangled with Xu Mu endlessly, which was the last thing he wanted to see.
Seeing more than a dozen clones and bodies attacking simultaneously, Xu Mu also demonstrated his astonishing strength and reaction speed.
In his hand, the flying thunder spear danced, surrounded by flashing thunder, as if he was the descending Thunder God.
Even though Qilingzi transformed into many bodies, and each of them was strong.
But this strength was only relative.
If you single out one of the clones, each of the top ten genius disciples could handle it easily.
Using his indestructible body, Xu Mu simply outlasted his opponent without the need for spiritual power, instead relying on his physical ability to shatter Qi Lingzi’s incarnations one by one.
The situation subtly changed in such a way, and Xu Mu quickly gained the upper hand.
Qi Lingzi hadn’t expected to meet such a formidable opponent after thousands of years of cultivation.
Everyone initially thought that Xu Mu would undoubtedly be defeated, after all, the opponent’s strength was extraordinarily formidable. However, they didn’t expect Xu Mu’s body to be so perverse and seemingly indestructible.
The two of them fought for most of the day, and the situation, surprisingly, turned around.
Qi Lingzi had intended to use a sealing technique to seal Xu Mu, but he didn’t expect Xu Mu to be so resolute. He destroyed several of Qi Lingzi’s clones and broke the seal.
At that moment, the situation completely turned in Xu Mu’s favor. With no more reservations, Xu Mu displayed the wings of the Kun Peng, used instant teleportation, getting closer to Qi Lingzi’s body.
Boom!
A bolt of thunder fell from the sky, directly striking Qi Lingzi.
Qi Lingzi immediately let out a scream, his body felt numb, and most of his spiritual power was instantly dispersed.
Xu Mu took the opportunity to thrust his spear out, directly flinging Qi Lingzi into the air.
In mid-air, a divine light emitted from his body, and he began chanting mantras, launching an attack on Xu Mu.
At this moment, Qi Lingzi didn’t have much resistance left. Xu Mu caught up with him and relentlessly thrust his spear several times, directly breaking the protective divine light.
Then, his spear pierced into Qi Lingzi’s Dantian, nailing him directly to the ground from mid-air.
As Qi Lingzi screamed, a wisp of black smoke gushed out of his Dantian. It was unclear what kind of cultivation and divine skill had formed such a strange object.
Xu Mu was uncompromising, he spear-thrusted the black smoke into the air and flung it out into the distance.
Seeing that Qi Lingzi was almost out of resistance, Xu Mu finally let out a long sigh of relief.
At this moment, his body flickered with thunder, his face drained of color. It was evident that the battle had nearly exhausted him.
The black swirl in the distance had disappeared. Clearly, without Qi Lingzi’s support, the remaining clones didn’t dare to continue fighting and hastily came forward to check on their master’s condition.
Xu Mu let out a long sigh of relief, finally taking care of this troublesome opponent.
Earlier, he had launched his strongest attack, finally defeating Qi Lingzi at the critical moment.
At this point Qi Lingzi was lying on the ground motionless, as if he had fainted. A few clones with various divine skills managed to revive him.
“He actually won, who would have thought!”
“This is something that has never happened in our sect. What kind of body refinement technique is he practicing? How come I’ve never heard of it?”
“I haven’t heard of it either, it’s simply not like a human clan cultivator.”
During the cheering and surprise, there was also much discussion about the divine skills and techniques Xu Mu had used.
Those disciples who had some relationship with him immediately came forward to offer their congratulations. Xu Mu did not pretend to be cold and detached, he mingled and laughed with everyone.
The elders of the sect deliberated and announced his victory, making him the champion of this sect competition.
This was the first time in the history of the sect that a mid-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator became the champion, making history.
He was undoubtedly the top among the young disciples of Qingyun Gate.
Whenever the sect needed the younger generation to step up in the future, he would undoubtedly be the first choice. This would bring him many advantages.
“Master! Your disciple has completed the mission successfully!”
Xu Mu bowed to his master, the Grand Elder of Qingyun Gate.
“Good, very good, you are indeed my disciple!”
The Grand Elder, of course, was overjoyed. He then took Xu Mu to meet the sect leader and receive various rewards.
