No hope for eternal life

Of course, Mu Changsheng won all of his eleven matches as expected. So far, Mu Changsheng has won twenty-three of his twenty-four matches.

"It seems that the government deliberately arranged it this way." Mu Changsheng said softly, because Guan Yunbei's other twenty-three competitions had also been completed, leaving only the final battle between the two of them.

"They probably want you two to be the last to compete." Mu Xun said. Although Mu Changsheng and Guan Yunbei only had one last match left, there were still many people who hadn't finished their matches.

Next, Mu Xun's words were verified. Mu Changsheng and Guan Yunbei had clearly finished their rest long ago, but they were not called to the stage to compete until several hours later, in the early morning of the next day, when the final round of competition began.

"The last round of competition: Arena No. 1: Guan Yunbei vs. Mu Changsheng, Arena No. 2: Zhang Tu vs. Han Mingfan..."

"Huh." Mu Changsheng let out a long sigh and slowly walked onto the stage. Mu Xun on the side didn't say anything more, but cheered Mu Changsheng up with his eyes. Everything was said without words.

Although the last round of competitions still had five matches going on simultaneously, most of the audience's attention in the martial arts arena was attracted by Mu Changsheng and Guan Yunbei on the No. 1 ring, because the battle for the third place was the only suspense on the field at the moment. As for the first and second place, it had already been determined to be Mu Xun and Bai Xuanyu.

“Mu Xun and Bai Xuanyu had too many hidden cards up their sleeves and won the first and second place in advance. The government was caught off guard and had to put the fight for the third place at the finale.” Mu Changsheng thought to himself.

Afterwards, the referee checked Mu Changsheng's talisman as usual, and after confirming that it was correct, he officially announced: "The competition begins."

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Mu Changsheng used two spirit-summoning talismans at the same time, without any reservation. He wanted to end the battle quickly. This was also a strategy he had thought of long ago, otherwise he might not be able to outlast Guan Yunbei.

After being blessed by the two spirit-summoning talismans, Mu Changsheng's body not only became stronger, but his cultivation level also rose by two levels, which was in no way inferior to Guan Yunbei's peak foundation building level.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng attacked Guan Yunbei directly without any intention of testing him with talismans.

"Physical cultivators are good at close combat, but I'm better at it than you." Guan Yunbei sneered.

However, although Guan Yunbei was somewhat arrogant, he also knew that this battle for the third place was extremely important and he did not dare to be careless. His advantage in magic was greater than Mu Changsheng's talismans, so he naturally would not give up this advantage.

Then, Guan Yunbei repeatedly waved the long sword in his hand and quickly performed his most powerful spell: "Slashing the Nine Skies with the Sword."

Rays of sword light surged out from the blade and fiercely slashed towards Mu Changsheng who was approaching.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng instantly activated eleven golden arrow talismans in his hands to resist the sword lights that were coming at him with force and weaken their power. After being weakened, the sword lights could no longer pose a threat to Mu Changsheng and were easily defeated by Mu Changsheng with his fists.

"Well, you are worthy of being the opponent I have been waiting for for so long." Guan Yunbei shouted, and was delighted to see the prey. He did not retreat at all, and directly attacked Mu Changsheng with a knife.

Although Guan Yunbei is good at magic, his close combat is not weak at all. After all, he is a sword genius who has comprehended the meaning of sword, otherwise Mu Xun would not have suffered so many sword wounds before.

Facing Guan Yunbei's powerful and heavy slash, Mu Changsheng not only did not dodge, but even took the initiative to step forward and grab it with his backhand. His idea was simple. If he could take away the opponent's long sword, he would be able to win most of the battle. Moreover, Mu Changsheng's body had been blessed by two spiritual talismans and reached a state of physical training close to the third transformation, which was fully capable of supporting him to do this.

However, the result went against his will. Guan Yunbei was a man of great intelligence but he noticed Mu Changsheng's intention at the first moment. He immediately changed his chopping knife to a slashing knife, which cut across Mu Changsheng's palm like lightning, leaving Mu Changsheng no chance to snatch the knife, and then flew backwards.

After keeping some distance between them, Guan Yunbei used his secret technique once again. Dozens of powerful sword lights slashed towards Mu Changsheng, with no intention of giving him any time to breathe. This showed how rich Guan Yunbei's combat experience was.

Mu Changsheng remained calm in the face of the knife light. He still responded with talismans first, and then rushed forward with his physical body, attacking Guan Yunbei again. He also did not give the other party time to perform his secret technique. As for his cut palm, it was only a minor injury and was not a problem at all.

Guan Yunbei saw Mu Changsheng approaching again with a calm expression and swung his sword to deal with him. He knew that Mu Changsheng's body was extremely strong after being blessed by talismans, but it also had an obvious weakness, which was time. Once the time was up, that would be the time when Mu Changsheng was weak, and that would also be the time for him to win.

"Pah, pah, pah." Mu Changsheng's iron fist and Guan Yunbei's long sword kept colliding and making loud noises. After several rounds, neither of them could gain the upper hand.

"Is this the benefit of comprehending the artistic conception?" Mu Changsheng sighed secretly.

Guan Yunbei is indeed a genius who has comprehended the meaning of sword. He is truly superb in using the sword, and his advance and retreat are well-planned, making Mu Changsheng feel like he is trying to catch a loach with bare hands, and it is difficult to start. This is different from every opponent Mu Changsheng has encountered before.

Time passed quickly. Seeing that he was unable to defeat his opponent, Mu Changsheng became a little impatient. He even started to make mistakes when punching, and ended up getting a lot of new knife wounds on his body.

In response to this, Guan Yunbei remained calm and composed, defending more and attacking less, delaying time.

After a quarter of an hour.

"Ding." Mu Changsheng punched Guan Yunbei's knife back hard. With Mu Changsheng's original strength, this punch should have knocked Guan Yunbei back, but the result was just the opposite. Mu Changsheng's fist was actually bounced back by the back of the knife.

Mu Changsheng retreated repeatedly with the help of the recoil force, and his face changed drastically.

"It's finally my turn." Guan Yunbei was delighted and quickly stepped forward with his sword, chasing Mu Changsheng. He knew that the reason why Mu Changsheng's power weakened was definitely because the effect of the talisman began to fade.

"Hu." Guan Yunbei swung his sword with all his strength and slashed towards Mu Changsheng head-on.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng retreated repeatedly, trying to temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the knife.

Guan Yunbei on the opposite side moved forward synchronously, pressing forward with his sword.

After retreating to the edge of the ring, Mu Changsheng had no way to avoid the attack and could only punch Guan Yunbei's knife with all his might.

Just when his fist was about to touch the back of the knife, Mu Changsheng suddenly changed his tactics, opened his fist, and clamped Guan Yunbei's long knife tightly with his palm, with the force not less than at the beginning of the fight!

Guan Yunbei wanted to draw his sword and turn around, but found that he couldn't pull it out at all. Until this moment, Guan Yunbei finally realized that he had been deceived. Mu Changsheng had not yet reached the weak stage. Everything just now was just acting.

Realizing this, Guan Yunbei was about to let go of the knife, but unfortunately he was half a beat too late, and Mu Changsheng's other punch had already arrived.

Guan Yunbei's long sword was clamped, so he had no choice but to use his left fist to deal with Mu Changsheng's punch.

"Crack." Guan Yunbei's left fist was as fragile as a board in front of Mu Changsheng's iron fist and broke with a sound.

Guan Yunbei should have used the force to retreat at this time, but he found that he could not retreat, because his right hand holding the knife had been grabbed by Mu Changsheng's left hand holding the knife, preventing him from escaping.

One wrong step leads to another. Guan Yunbei was careless for a moment and was grabbed by Mu Changsheng's arm and punched in the chest. He had no chance to dodge or fight back!

"Bang, bang, bang." Three muffled sounds were heard in succession, indicating that Mu Changsheng had hit Guan Yunbei's chest with three consecutive punches, directly causing him to fall into a coma.

Mu Changsheng had finally seized this opportunity, so he didn't dare to hold back at all.
