No hope for eternal life

Chapter 278 Du Qiyou's Thoughts

However, Mu Changsheng was not panicked because his goal had been achieved. Although Qin Lan broke the formation, he had consumed a lot of energy and was now out of breath. He was even unable to attack Mu Changsheng. Instead, he stood in place and quickly recovered his magic power.

Mu Changsheng naturally would not give Qin Lan time to recover. He immediately took advantage of the victory and launched three golden talismans at the same time, attacking Qin Lan.

At the same time, Mu Changsheng used the summoning talisman and launched the five-finger palm thunder, also attacking Qin Lan. Now it was his turn to take the initiative to attack.

Qin Lan relied on his strong body to withstand Mu Changsheng's bombardment at the beginning, but as his magic power was exhausted, his body alone could no longer sustain it, so he could only admit defeat: "I give up."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng immediately stopped attacking, clasped his fists and said, "This is an unfair victory, please forgive me, Senior Sister Qin."

Mu Changsheng knew that he had won this victory by relying on the tactics of Fu Hai and Zhen Hai, so he took the initiative to apologize.

Qin Lan said generously: "Junior Brother Mu is able to refine so many powerful talismans and array plates. It is also Junior Brother Mu's ability. Senior Sister is very optimistic about you."

After saying that, Qin Lan winked at Mu Changsheng in a very provocative manner.

This made Taoist Shi'an, who was acting as the referee, very jealous. If there weren't a lot of people watching outside, she would definitely teach Qin Lan a lesson. But now she could only endure it for the time being.

"Don't let me get you into trouble in the future, hehe." Taoist Shi'an said with a vengeance in her heart.

On the other side, Du Qiyou had already successfully defeated Zhang Wentian.

There is no doubt that the strongest Nascent Soul in Lingshan Sect will be decided between Mu Changsheng and Du Qiyu.

"You two can just go on stage and compete." Taoist Master said casually.

After Mu Changsheng and the other two came on stage, Du Qiyou slowly drew out his sword and stared at Mu Changsheng, with a calculating look in his eyes: "This person is quite powerful, and he seems to be holding back."

Mu Changsheng didn't think too much about it. He used two golden talismans to clear the way and launched a tentative attack.

Du Qiyu swung his sword, and suddenly the sky was filled with sword light, like flying snow, instantly submerging and swallowing the two golden talisman attacks.

"The Silver Snow secret technique created by Sect Leader Xiao is indeed incredibly powerful." Mu Changsheng said in his heart. The word "Yinxue" sounds like "drinking blood", which shows that this name is not a gentle word, but is full of murderous intent.

In fact, the Silver Snow Secret Technique is indeed very aggressive and has great killing power, otherwise Du Qiyu would not have been able to defeat Qin Lan, who has extremely strong body training, with just this secret technique.

After the test, Mu Changsheng was no longer polite. He used talismans and formations one after another, still focusing on consumption.

Du Qiyou also turned on the rampage mode, cutting all the talismans and formations that attacked him with his sword and attacked Mu Changsheng directly, as if he was planning to "behead" Mu Changsheng.

Mu Changsheng did not intend to retreat, because he knew that Du Qiyu, like Mu Xun, had the ability to fight and recover at the same time, and the usual tactics of attrition would not work, so if he wanted to defeat Du Qiyu, he had to defeat him head-on.

So, Mu Changsheng strengthened himself with the divine talisman and used the secret technique of the Thunder God's Descent again. He wanted to have a head-on fight with Du Qiyu.

Du Qiyou fought his way to Mu Changsheng unhindered, and the two of them started a thrilling face-to-face fight.

The reason why it is thrilling is that both of them are very vulnerable to each other's attacks. Once one of them is hit, the winner will be decided immediately.

Although Mu Changsheng has the virtual god talisman of the peak level of the God Transformation Realm, it is the last resort and has only one chance to be used. Once the attack is ineffective, it will drag Mu Changsheng into a weak period, so it is best not to use it.

In this way, Mu Changsheng and Du Qiyu fought for hundreds of rounds, but fortunately, both of them were very experienced and neither of them hit the other, and the winner was not determined.

"It seems that this is all his strength." Mu Changsheng thought to himself. He and Du Qiyu had a close combat to find out if the other party had any powerful trump cards. Since he didn't find anything, it was time for him to use his own trump card.

At this moment, Mu Changsheng activated four formations at the same time. These four formations were the Immortal Execution Formation, the Immortal Absolute Formation, the Immortal Trap Formation, and the Immortal Slaughter Formation.

These four formations are actually four strange formations recorded in the formation inheritance of Emperor Tianqing.

The reason why it is called a strange formation is that the grades of these four formations are not fixed. From simple to complex, their grades can range from the lowest third grade to the ninth grade. Mu Changsheng is also limited by his cultivation level and can only refine a fifth-grade middle-level formation.

In addition, these four strange formations have a complementary effect. When the four formations are activated at the same time, they can be combined into one formation with greatly increased power. It is called the God-Slaying Formation, and this is also one of the trump cards prepared by Mu Changsheng.

At this time, Mu Changsheng used his trump card and instantly pulled Du Qiyu into the God-Slaying Formation. Of course, Mu Changsheng himself was also in the formation, because he also wanted to use the power of the God-Slaying Formation to defeat Du Qiyu.

The God-Slaying Formation was fully activated, and two giant swords with terrifying murderous aura appeared on both sides of Mu Changsheng. They were the Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Immortal-Slaying Sword manifested by the power of the Immortal-Slaying Formation and the Immortal-Slaying Formation respectively. The power of the Immortal-Slaying Formation and the Immortal-Slaying Formation was mainly to trap the enemy, not only making the formation as solid as a rock, but also isolating the enemy from the connection with the spiritual power of heaven and earth, making it impossible for the opponent's consumed mana to be quickly recovered.

"Senior Brother Du, please teach me." Mu Changsheng shouted in a deep voice, and thunder flew out from the palms of his five fingers. The Zhuxian Sword and Luxian Sword on both sides also attacked Du Qiyu together.

Seeing this, Du Qiyou quickly drew his sword to stop him.

This time, the Zhuxian Sword and the Luxian Sword displayed their great power. They were no longer easily broken by Du Qiyu as before. Instead, they fought fiercely with Du Qiyu.

After a struggle, Du Qiyou suddenly shouted loudly: "I give up."

When Mu Changsheng heard Du Qiyu admit defeat, he was slightly stunned, because they had just entered the consumption stage and Du Qiyu did not show any signs of defeat. It could be said that it was a bit early for him to admit defeat.

So, Mu Changsheng asked directly: "Now that the outcome is still unclear, why don't Senior Brother Du continue to persevere?"

Du Qiyou shook his head slightly and replied: "Although the outcome has not yet been decided, the situation is already very clear. I can't defeat you even if I use all my tricks. Fighting any further will not help."

Mu Changsheng remained silent for a moment, accepting Du Qiyu's explanation, but another thought suddenly popped up in his mind. Perhaps Du Qiyu didn't want to win at all, because once he won, he might have to represent the human race and fight against the strongest cultivators of the same realm in the demon race, which would be life-threatening.

The fact is just as Mu Changsheng thought. At this moment, Du Qiyou was sighing in his heart: "Junior Brother Mu, you'd better pray that you don't get a place to fight, otherwise with your strength, you will definitely die."

Not long ago, Du Qiyou encountered a demon cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage in the Chaos Demon Sea. That demon cultivator was so powerful that he almost despaired. He barely escaped death and managed to save his life. That incident made him believe that at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, the demons would definitely win, and whoever went would die!

Therefore, even if Du Qiyu still had some tricks up his sleeve, he didn't want to show them. He was really afraid that he would accidentally defeat Mu Changsheng and eventually have to fight on behalf of the human race.

On the other hand, although Mu Changsheng had some guesses, it was not easy for him to say them directly. He could only pretend that nothing had happened and pay more attention to Du Qiyou in the future.

Afterwards, Qin Lan, Du Qiyu and others competed with each other several times, because they also needed to use this to determine the contribution points for the rewards.

Mu Changsheng won four games in a row and was sent out of the illusion early by Taoist Master Xian, so he could take a look at the competitions in other illusions.

First up was the Nascent Soul Peak Competition among the Tianling Sect where Lin Yu was. The Tianling Sect had two more Nascent Soul Peak cultivators than the Lingshan Sect, but judging from the situation, the final winner should be Lin Yu.
