No hope for eternal life

Seeing this, Mu Xun immediately loosened his hand holding the sword, leaned back to avoid the two fists, then reached out to grasp the black sword and pulled it out.

Mu Xun's black sword returned to his right hand, but before he could make another sword move, Mu Changsheng kicked him in the chest and forced him to retreat dozens of steps.

After standing still, Mu Xun reached out and rubbed his chest. He had known for a long time that Mu Changsheng's punches and kicks were strong, so he had been using his strong magic power to protect his body. Thanks to this, although he was kicked, the injury was not serious.

After one round, Mu Changsheng injured his left leg and Mu Xun was kicked. The two were evenly matched and neither was at a disadvantage.

"After not sparring for such a long time, your boxing and kicking skills have indeed improved a lot." Mu Xun said with a smile.

Mu Changsheng also smiled when he heard this, and also praised Mu Xun: "Your swordsmanship has become even more powerful."

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun took another run and rushed towards each other. Close combat began again. Mu Xun's swordsmanship was sharp and every move went straight to the vital points.

Mu Changsheng was able to adapt to changes, counter each move, and fight steadily. For him, it was completely acceptable if he kept exchanging injuries for each other, because he was a physical cultivator and was most resistant to injuries. In the end, Mu Xun would definitely be the loser.

After several rounds, Mu Changsheng and the other person separated again temporarily, and each of them had suffered a lot of new injuries.

Mu Xun frowned slightly. He realized that if he continued to suffer injuries like this, his body would naturally not be able to withstand the stamina of Mu Changsheng, a physical cultivator. Therefore, he had to change his strategy.

Mu Xun swung the black sword in his hand hard, stabbing it deeply into the ground of the ring, and then said in a deep voice: "Next, don't blame me for winning unfairly."

Mu Changsheng's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he realized that Mu Xun was going to change his tactics and show his trump card. His answer was still the same as before: "Just come at me."

"Okay." Mu Xun shouted softly, put his palms together and formed a seal. The magic power around his body surged out, and the black sword stuck in the ground was forcibly pulled up from the ground under the effect of the magic power.

"Secret Technique - Three Element Sword Life!"

When Mu Xun used the Sanyuan Sword, countless lightsabers condensed from spiritual power emerged around the black sword, and each lightsaber was cold and sharp.

"It's not enough." Mu Xun said in his heart. If this secret technique alone was effective, he would have used it long ago.

"Tian Yuan is back." Mu Xun raised his hands to the sky and used a trump card that he had never used before. He had never used it before because he wanted to keep a trump card and also because he felt that doing so would inevitably be like relying on the advantage of the secret technique to bully Mu Changsheng, but he had to use it this time.

As Mu Xun used the secret technique of Tianyuan Return, most of the cultivators present could sense the surging spiritual power of heaven and earth, and then the spiritual power of heaven and earth flowed unanimously towards the direction where Mu Xun was.

At the same time, on the high platform of the martial arts arena, County Lord Gao Xuan couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and was shocked in his heart: "Good boy, you can actually use the secret technique to mobilize the power of heaven and earth. This is a field that only cultivators in the Spiritual Transformation Realm can involve."

The view returned to the arena. Mu Xun's Three Yuan Sword Secret Technique was blessed by the power of heaven and earth. The already awe-inspiring magic lightsaber became even more powerful, forcing Mu Changsheng to take the initiative to attack. Nine golden arrow talismans were instantly activated and attacked towards Mu Xun.

Seeing this, Mu Xun waved his hand and commanded his magic sword to attack the nine golden arrows and Mu Changsheng behind them, "Go!"

The moment the nine golden arrows came into contact with dozens of magic lightsabers, the golden arrows were all destroyed with almost no resistance. Then, the magic lightsabers continued to attack Mu Changsheng with a devastating force.

Mu Changsheng looked at the overwhelming magic swords attacking him and knew he could not dodge them, so he simply gave up trying to dodge and immediately used the second spirit-summoning talisman.

Another major feature of the summoning talisman is its superposition for use. However, Mu Changsheng had tried it before and found that he could only use two summoning talismans at the same time, otherwise it would exceed his own endurance limit. This was originally a trump card that Mu Changsheng had reserved, and he had to use it now.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Changsheng mobilized all the magic power in his Dantian, and it flowed through his limbs and bones like boiling water. The powerful force made his clothes bulge out. This was his posture of full defense.

Now Mu Changsheng and Mu Xun have played all their cards. One attacks, the other defends. It is like a battle between a spear and a shield. It depends on who will come out on top.

Just as Mu Changsheng set up his defense, those whistling magic lightsabers also arrived.

"Swish, swish..." Dozens of magic lightsabers were like physical swords, extremely sharp and with strong penetrating power. They almost instantly broke through Mu Changsheng's copper-like skin and pierced into Mu Changsheng's body.

Except for the eyes, heart, head and other vital parts that were protected by Mu Changsheng's arms, almost all other parts were damaged. The most serious part was the right chest, which was almost pierced by two magic lightsabers.

In addition, after those magic lightsabers completed the attack, they did not dissipate immediately. Instead, they turned into sword energy, moving up and down in Mu Changsheng's body, constantly causing damage to Mu Changsheng's body. Fortunately, Mu Changsheng was a physical cultivator with thick skin and flesh, otherwise those sword energy alone would be enough to pierce his intestines and cause his stomach to burst.

"I give up." Mu Changsheng had no choice but to shout out these three words. Although his intestines had not been ruptured yet, his situation was not much better. If he was not treated in time, he didn't know how long it would take him to recover from his injuries.

"Mu Xun wins." The referee announced quickly, seeing that Mu Changsheng was not in good shape.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xun quickly retracted his attack and ran to Mu Changsheng, taking the initiative to help Mu Changsheng dispel the sword energy.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng walked down from the stage and received treatment from the pharmacist.

The pharmacist first used his spiritual sense to check the injuries in Mu Changsheng's body. He immediately took a breath of cold air and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The sword energy enters the body through the wound and destroys the cultivator's body. What a brilliant and vicious secret technique."

Fortunately, the pharmacist's cultivation has reached the Golden Core Realm, and he can easily stabilize Mu Changsheng's injuries. This is also the first step in healing.

Afterwards, the pharmacist handed Mu Changsheng a golden pill and urged him, "This is a healing pill. Take it quickly. With your current injuries, you can no longer recover by just applying some ointment. You must take it internally and apply it externally."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng took the pill without further ado. In this official martial arts test, he didn't have to worry about the other party tampering with the pill.

The pill tasted sweet in his mouth and soon turned into a pure medicinal power that quickly flowed through his body, healing the wounds inside and outside his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the pharmacist continued to apply ointment to Mu Changsheng's body to heal his wounds, Mu Xun said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this is the first time I use this secret technique against an enemy, and I can't control the strength well."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng turned his head to look at Mu Xun, grinned, and said generously: "My injury is just a small matter, but if you can't win the first place, I will never forgive you."

Due to his limited cultivation level, Mu Changsheng's goal in this county exam is at most to be in the top three. He really doesn't dare to think about getting the first place. Since he is bound to lose one or two games sooner or later, losing to Mu Xun is better than losing to others. This is called keeping the wealth within the family.

After hearing Mu Changsheng's answer, Mu Xun finally smiled. Now that he had defeated Mu Changsheng and Bai Xuanyu, two powerful opponents, he was in high spirits and said heroically: "Don't worry, if I don't get first place, you can do whatever you want to me."

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng entered the healing lounge again. According to the pharmacist's instructions, he had to recuperate for at least a whole day this time.

Since Mu Changsheng had already refined the raw materials for making talismans during the break between previous competitions, he didn't need to refine them here anymore.

Therefore, Mu Changsheng chose to meditate and practice. If his cultivation could break through to the late stage of foundation building at this critical moment, his strength and talisman control ability would be enhanced again, and he would be more confident in the upcoming competition.

For this purpose, Mu Changsheng also specially took a plant of Naling grass to speed up his cultivation.
