No hope for eternal life

Chapter 120: Battle against Huaxi Bai Family

The fact was just as Jiang Yuheng had seen. Although Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun were still continuing to enhance their own strength, under the tireless attacks of the Frost Giant, the two had already drained all their strength and were now only relying on their spirit to hold on.

Therefore, even though Mu Changsheng and the others were facing only two or three frost giants, they still felt powerless.

Before Mu Changsheng finally lost all his strength, he shouted out the words he really didn't want to say: "I give up."

Immediately afterwards, Mu Xun also admitted defeat.

This competition, which Mu Changsheng and the other four had been looking forward to for a long time, ended in a way that no one had expected.

In the healing station, Mu Changsheng and the other four gathered together in a depressed atmosphere. Now that they had lost to the Fu Zong County team, the only possibility for their team to get into the top five was to defeat the second-ranked Huaxi County team or the fourth-ranked Nanshan County team. Given the strength of those two teams, it would not be easy for them to defeat them.

Finally, Mu Changsheng directly took out twenty Fire Talismans and distributed five to each person again, saying encouragingly: "Nine out of ten things in life are not satisfactory. No one expected that Jiang Yuheng had so many Ice Talismans, so our loss was not unfair. Fortunately, we have preserved our strength and still have the capital to fight."

Mu Xun and the other three were extremely surprised to see that Mu Changsheng still had so many Lihuo Talismans, and they immediately regained a lot of confidence.

"Mr. Mu is right. As long as we unite as one, it is absolutely possible to defeat the Nanshan County team." Song Zhi was the first to agree.

The other three Muxun also nodded.

After several hours, Mu Changsheng and the other four started the competition again.

"Next round of competition: Arena No. 1: Group No. 7 versus Group No. 19..."

Group 19 is composed of the top five students from the Foundation Establishment Realm County Examination of Beijiang County, which is ranked 8th. Its strength is not much inferior to that of Lanhai County, which is ranked 6th, and Xinghuan County, which is ranked 7th.

Unfortunately, they met Mu Changsheng and his four companions.

Mu Changsheng and his four companions had been beaten by the group from Fuzong County before, and they were all holding a grudge. Now, when they met Group No. 19 from Beijiang County, they were all as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they defeated Group No. 19 of Beijiang County with a crushing momentum.

Of course, as a price, this competition cost Mu Changsheng and his four companions a total of four Fire Talismans and six Explosive Qi Pills.

At this point, the only stumbling blocks for Mu Changsheng and his four companions to advance to the top 25 are Group No. 14 from Huaxi County and Group No. 12 from Nanshan County. As long as they defeat one of them, there will be basically no obstacles for Mu Changsheng's Group No. 7 to advance to the top five.

Soon, Mu Changsheng's Group No. 7, as well as their long-awaited Group No. 12 and Group No. 14, will all take the stage.

"The next round of competition: Arena No. 1: Group No. 7 vs. Group No. 14; Arena No. 2: Group No. 12 vs. Group No. 13..."

Mu Changsheng and his four companions finally faced one of the two most crucial competitions. Their opponent was Group No. 14 from Huaxi County, which was ranked second.

Although Huaxi County ranks second, Mu Changsheng believes that there is still hope of winning this battle because the opponent's strengths and weaknesses are obvious.

The advantage is that Huaxi County is the territory of the Duke Bai family. Among the five opponents, three are formation masters carefully trained by the Bai family, who are very good at long-range attacks and trapping enemies. The disadvantage is that the opponent is good at long-range attacks but not close combat. Among the five, only the weaker one is good at close combat.

Based on these analyses, Mu Changsheng felt that if he, Mu Xun and Zhang Yuxu could advance to the opponent's close position, they would have a great chance of defeating the five opponents one by one.

Before going on stage, Mu Changsheng told everyone his plan and won their approval.

On the ring, the referee checked the external objects of both parties and officially announced: "The competition begins."

At the beginning of the competition, Mu Changsheng and his five companions adjusted their positions. They temporarily abandoned the one-two-two cone formation and changed to a three-two formation. Mu Changsheng, Mu Xun and Zhang Yuxu lined up in the front, while Song Zhi and Xu Lingxi were scattered in the back. This was also part of the plan.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng and the other two acted according to the plan and joined forces to attack the five people on the opposite side.

Because there is no strong melee fighter among the five opponents, there is no need to worry about Song Zhi and the other two being in danger of being approached.

Among the five-member team in Huaxi County, Bai Kunyu from the Bai family is the leader. He is also the first place in the Huaxi County Foundation Establishment Realm County Examination.

Bai Kunyu was not panicked when he saw Mu Changsheng and the other two coming directly at him. He just told the four people beside him calmly, "According to the plan."

Obviously, Bai Kunyu and others have also agreed on some plans.

Following Bai Kunyu's order, Bai Ziyu and Bai Zihua, two members of the Bai family, began to set up their formation, and the target of their formation was Song Zhi and Xu Lingxi in the rear.

Seeing this, Song Zhi and Xu Lingxi took action each to break up the core of the formation set up by the two Bai family disciples. This was also the best way to deal with a formation master. As long as the formation master could not set up the formation, no matter how powerful the opponent's formation attainments were, it would be useless.

However, the two Bai family formation masters seemed determined and continued to set up the formation, and Song Zhi and the others kept destroying the formation. As a result, the two sides fought in the air and fell into a state of consumption, and it was difficult to tell who was better.

As for the other people in the Huaxi County team, the only melee cultivator faced Zhang Yuxu, the only magic cultivator used magic to attack Muxun, and finally Bai Kunyu also began to set up a formation, and the range of his formation was the entire arena.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng stepped forward to help Mu Xun block the magic attack, and said to Mu Xun: "Leave Qi Yun to me, you go deal with Bai Kunyu first, remember, don't let him set up the formation successfully."

Mu Xun nodded slightly upon hearing this, and without further ado, he slashed out a sword energy full of sword intent, shattering the center of the formation that Bai Kunyu had just set up. Although he didn't know what formation Bai Kunyu was going to set up, he could not let the other party succeed in setting up the formation anyway.

Afterwards, Mu Xun rushed straight towards Bai Kunyu, wanting to defeat him in close combat without giving him time to form a formation.

On the other side, Qi Yun, the only magic practitioner among the five people from Huaxi County, still refused to give up and continued to cast a spell on Mu Xun in an attempt to interfere with him.

Mu Changsheng didn't care about saving talismans at this time, and directly used a fire talisman to dissolve Qi Yun's magic. At the same time, Mu Changsheng also caught up with Qi Yun and punched him.

Seeing this, Qi Yun didn't bother to disturb Mu Xun. He immediately drew a long sword from his waist to resist Mu Changsheng.

Although Qi Yun is a cultivator of magic, if he doesn't know any close combat skills, he probably won't be able to make it to the palace examination.

However, even though Qi Yun's swordsmanship had many commendable aspects, he was still a little stretched when facing Mu Changsheng, who used a talisman to summon spirits.

In just half a cup of tea, Mu Changsheng had already forced Qi Yun into danger.

This was also Mu Changsheng's plan, to get rid of Qi Yun first, and then deal with the rest one by one.

Seeing this, Qi Yun was forced into a corner and had to use his most powerful trick, relying on a secret technique to temporarily boost his strength.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng was not in a hurry. Through pre-match intelligence, he knew that Qi Yun's secret technique could only last for a quarter of an hour. Once the time was up, Qi Yun would definitely lose.

Therefore, while Mu Changsheng was fighting with Qi Yun, he was also able to devote some of his attention to paying attention to the battle situations in other places.

Zhang Yuxu and the melee monk were fighting to a stalemate, and it was unclear who would win for the time being. Moreover, Zhang Yuxu had five Lihuo Talismans in his hand, so his chances of winning should be greater.
