No hope for eternal life

Chapter 280 Battle against Lin Yu

Afterwards, Lei Buming was limited by his own secret technique and merged with the thundercloud. He couldn't even escape and was hit by a punch from the Thunder God Giant and exploded instantly.

Mu Changsheng wins!

He won, but Mu Changsheng's trump card of the Void God Talisman was exposed, so he was not happy. Instead, he started thinking about how to deal with the next opponent - Lin Yu.

At the same time, Lin Yu took the initiative to step down and enter the competition venue. She was a little surprised at the appearance of Mu Changsheng, but she did not intend to give the opportunity to fight to Mu Changsheng.

Taoist Master An saw Lin Yu taking the initiative to leave the court, and very cooperatively helped Mu Changsheng recover, and then said casually: "You two can do whatever you want."

Taoist Master Xi said it very casually, but she was actually very conflicted. She hoped that Lin Yu could defeat Mu Changsheng so that Mu Changsheng would not have to take the risk of fighting the demon clan. But she was also afraid that after Mu Changsheng lost to Lin Yu, he would become even more deeply in love with Lin Yu and unable to extricate himself.

Lin Yu didn't know the twists and turns, and directly saluted Mu Changsheng with his sword in hand, saying: "Please teach me."

"Please give me some advice, senior sister." Mu Changsheng returned the greeting.

Afterwards, Lin Yu said no more, drew out the green sword, moved his body, and quickly attacked Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng did not dare to underestimate it. He knew that Lin Yu wanted to defeat him at close range with his sword, so he would naturally not let the other party succeed easily.

So, Mu Changsheng opened fire with full force as soon as he made a move. Four golden talismans, the Immortal Execution Formation and the Immortal Slaughter Formation were launched at the same time, attacking Lin Yu with great momentum.

Faced with such an attack, Lin Yu's expression remained unchanged. He swung the green sword in his hand, and countless green sword qi gushed out, instantly burying Mu Changsheng's attack. A large amount of remaining sword qi was directed towards Mu Changsheng.

"What a huge magic power." Mu Changsheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The so-called fighting of magic, in a sense, is a collision between magic powers. The cultivators of higher realms can crush the cultivators of lower realms because their magic powers are more refined and powerful.

Lin Yu is only a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. He can easily dissolve the attack of the Divine Transformation level because the opponent's magic power is not only more refined than that of cultivators of the same level, but also far exceeds the quantity of ordinary cultivators at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. This is all thanks to the two secret techniques that Lin Yu has practiced.

Through Mu Changsheng's previous observations, he could confirm that Lin Yu had practiced at least two major secret arts, the Nine Profound Secret Art and the Nine Thousand Dragon Elephant Power. These two secret arts were both ninth-grade secret arts within the sect.

The former Nine Profound Secret Art is a sword art created by Sect Master Feng Ruifeng. This art can be divided into nine minor secret arts, corresponding to the nine realms of cultivators.

The effects of each small secret technique are different. Some increase magic power, some increase speed and so on. Only when all nine secret techniques are performed together can it be the complete version of the Nine Profound Secret Technique, which is extremely powerful. Mu Changsheng only has a general understanding of the Nine Profound Secret Technique because he has never truly inherited the Nine Profound Secret Technique.

Fortunately, the practice of this secret technique is also related to cultivation. With Lin Yu's current cultivation in the Nascent Soul Realm, he can only perform the first five secret techniques, and cannot yet display the full power of the Nine Mysterious Secret Techniques. Lin Yu was able to burst out such a huge and amazing mana just now, thanks to the Nine Mysterious Secret Techniques.

As for the secret art of Nine Thousand Dragon Elephant Power, it is very special because it is a rare ninth-grade power refining secret art. Just like a cultivator's physical training to strengthen his flesh, power refining can improve the quality of a cultivator's magic power. This is one of the important reasons why Lin Yu can break fifth-grade talismans and formations with one sword.

From the description alone, it can be seen that Lin Yu's Nine Thousand Dragon Elephant Power and the Nine Profound Secret Art complement each other perfectly.

In fact, after obtaining 100,000 contribution points, Mu Changsheng had also thought about practicing the Nine Thousand Dragon Elephant Power Secret Technique, but unfortunately he was more concerned about the body refining secret technique at that time. He had planned to practice it later, but now that the competition was imminent, it was too late in time.

This is exactly the reason why Mu Changsheng did not dare to underestimate Lin Yu. With the blessing of the two ninth-grade secret techniques, he could completely equate Lin Yu with a Divine Transformation cultivator. The power of a random sword was enough to kill most of the Nascent Soul peak cultivators in seconds. On the other hand, Mu Changsheng's talismans and formation plates, except for the Void God Talisman and the God-Slaying Formation, posed almost no threat to Lin Yu.

Therefore, facing the oncoming Lin Yu, Mu Changsheng had almost no other choice but to use the Zhushen Formation formed by combining the four Zhuxian Formations to trap Lin Yu and hope to consume his opponent.

Lin Yu was trapped in the God-Slaying Formation. Even though she discovered the extraordinary nature of this formation, she was not moved at all, because she knew that if she wanted to defeat Mu Changsheng in close combat, she had to deal with these formations and talismans first.

Then, Lin Yu's green sword moved frequently, and the sword energy seemed to be spent freely, trying to forcibly break through the God-Slaying Formation.

Mu Changsheng was happy with Lin Yu's response. On the one hand, he manipulated the God-Slaying Formation to resist Lin Yu's sword energy, and on the other hand, he used the talismans in his hand to attack and consume Lin Yu without hesitation.

Mu Changsheng's goal was quickly achieved. Lin Yu was in the God-Slaying Formation and could not absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth. No matter how powerful her secret technique was, it could not help her create magic power out of thin air, so her magic power was quickly exhausted.

However, Lin Yu already had a countermeasure for this, and activated the third of the Nine Mysterious Secret Techniques!

Almost every high-level secret technique involves the method of burning essence and blood, because this method can often help cultivators instantly improve their combat effectiveness and escape from desperate situations. The third secret technique among the Nine Profound Secret Techniques is the method of burning essence and blood.

At the cost of burning his essence and blood, Lin Yu instantly gained strength even stronger than his peak state, and with one sword he completely split the God-Slaying Formation that was already riddled with sword marks.

After leaving the God-Slaying Formation, Lin Yu immediately stopped burning his blood and essence and used other secret techniques to intercept spiritual power from between heaven and earth. His magic power instantly replenished and he swung his sword towards Mu Changsheng again.

Lin Yu's smooth and flowing methods left Mu Changsheng dumbfounded. He had used up a set of God-Slaying Formation, but Lin Yu's magic power was still endless. If this continued, it would be unclear who was consuming whom.

But Lin Yu's attack was right in front of him, and there was only one chance to use the Void God Talisman. Mu Changsheng did not dare to use it lightly, and could only use the Zhushen Formation again. He had refined a total of five sets of Zhuxian Four Formations, so he could use the Zhushen Formation a total of five times.

No matter what, Mu Changsheng had to try his best to avoid getting close to Lin Yu, because his current physical body was still too fragile. Since he couldn't consume Lin Yu's magic power, he would consume the opponent's essence and blood. In the end, consumption was still the main thing.

In this way, Lin Yu burned his blood and essence five times in succession and broke Mu Changsheng's five sets of God-Slaying Formations in succession, beating Mu Changsheng so hard that he had no temper at all.

However, Mu Changsheng's God-Slaying Formation was gone, but he still had a fifth-grade intermediate-level Star Formation, which was specifically used for personal protection.

This time, Mu Changsheng used five star formations together to protect himself. He wanted to delay some time.

What's the point of delaying time? Of course it's to prepare a killing move. At this point, Mu Changsheng has no choice but to use the Xushen Talisman to defeat Lin Yu with absolute strength.

So, when Lin Yu finally broke through the five-layer star formation, what greeted her was Mu Changsheng's Five Thunder Secret Art activated by the power of the Void God Talisman. The God of Thunder had descended!

The terrifying giant Thunder God waved his huge thunder fist towards Lin Yu, and there was no escape under his locked aura.

Faced with this desperate scene, Lin Yu was not surprised but happy, because she had been waiting for Mu Changsheng to use this move. She knew that this was Mu Changsheng's trump card. She also knew that this method of increasing strength several times could probably only be used once and had serious side effects. So as long as she could hold on for a while, she would be close to victory.
