No hope for eternal life

However, the Lihuo Talisman is a third-grade talisman after all. Its power is comparable to the full-strength attack of two early Jindan realm cultivators, and it is not so easy to consume.

Even though Zhang Yuxu was consuming his energy while retreating, he was still behind in speed and was eventually caught up by the two white fire dragons.

Seeing two white fire dragons rushing towards him, Zhang Yuxu instantly split the long spear in his hand into two short spears. Holding the two short spears in his left and right hands, he stabbed the two white fire dragons' heads fiercely.

The fact that the long spear turned into two short guns was also a small trump card hidden by Zhang Yuxu, which had to be exposed at this moment.

If he could choose again, I believe Zhang Yuxu would never provoke Mu Changsheng again.

"Boom boom." The tip of the gun collided with the fire dragon, and the huge impact force knocked Zhang Yuxu back.

As Zhang Yuxu flew backwards, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "No matter what, at least I have eliminated these two third-grade talismans. Mu Changsheng definitely won't have too many third-grade talismans. I still have a chance of winning."

At this moment, "Swish, swish, swish..." a series of sounds of breaking through the air came from behind Zhang Yuxu, shattering his beautiful dream.

Without Zhang Yuxu's control, the secret silver dragon had already been easily dealt with by Mu Changsheng.

After that, Mu Changsheng had been wandering around. Now he saw an opportunity and used ten golden arrow talismans at once to attack Zhang Yuxu's back.

Zhang Yuxu had ambushed Mu Changsheng before, so now it could be considered a tit-for-tat.

Although Zhang Yuxu also discovered the sneak attack of the golden arrow talisman at this time, he was unable to control himself due to the two fire talismans and could not take action in time to intercept the golden arrow attack.

Therefore, all Zhang Yuxu could do at this moment was to resign himself to his fate and mobilize all his spiritual power to defend himself, waiting for the attack of the golden arrow talisman to come.

"Bang, bang, bang..." Ten golden arrow talismans hit Zhang Yuxu's back almost in no particular order. Although he had a higher level of cultivation, he was not a body cultivator after all, so it was naturally difficult for him to withstand the attack of the golden arrow talismans.

As a result, Zhang Yuxu was knocked backwards by the impact of the golden arrow talisman, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Mu Changsheng took the opportunity to quickly approach Zhang Yuxu and grabbed one of his arms to prevent him from using any other tricks.

Then, Mu Changsheng said calmly: "I don't think I need to search you anymore. Just hand over your monster heads."

After hearing this, Zhang Yuxu no longer dared to try his luck at talking and honestly handed over all his monster heads.

Zhang Yuxu knew clearly that although the rules of the competition did not allow killing, if Mu Changsheng wanted to make him suffer, no supervisor would stop him. He had relied on this point to snatch the heads of two monsters from each other before.

Mu Changsheng counted the monster heads that Zhang Yuxu handed over, a total of forty-three. Judging from this number, there should be nothing hidden. Together with his original thirty-seven, there were exactly eighty.

After Mu Changsheng put the monster's head into his storage bag, he let Zhang Yuxu go and said calmly: "Be more careful with your words in the future."

Zhang Yuxu remained silent.

Afterwards, Mu Changsheng turned around and left. There were still two hours left before the end of the monster hunting competition. He still had to work hard and harvest more monster heads, otherwise the title of first place would still be a little unstable.

Zhang Yuxu stared at Mu Changsheng's departing back with complicated eyes and emotions, but he no longer underestimated Mu Changsheng.

……

Two hours passed quickly, and Mu Changsheng returned to the county examination arena before the time was up.

As soon as I walked into the enclosure gate, two soldiers immediately surrounded me. One of them said, "Take out all the heads of the monsters you killed. We need to keep records."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng poured out all the monster heads in his storage bag.

A total of ninety-four monster heads piled up into a small hill, causing many people around who saw it to exclaim in surprise.

The two soldiers were also somewhat surprised. It was the first time they saw one person behead so many monster heads. After quickly counting the number, they asked again: "Which county are you from? What's your name?"

"Qihua County, Mu Changsheng."

The officer made a note and said, "Okay, you can enter and wait for the ranking to be announced. As for the monster heads, they will all be confiscated and you cannot take them away."

Mu Changsheng nodded. He had no need for those monster heads, and the corpses of monsters in the Foundation Establishment stage were often of very low value, so he had not specially collected monster corpses before.

After entering the enclosure, Mu Changsheng quickly saw Mu Xun. The monster heads he took out were also piled very high, and it was difficult to tell at a glance who had more heads between the two.

After Mu Xun finished recording and entered the venue, Mu Changsheng walked up and asked, "I got ninety-four monster heads, how about you?"

"Ninety-four?" Mu Xun was surprised and said, "I had to rob two guys on the way to get to ninety-one. How many people did you rob?"

"Hey." Mu Changsheng laughed unkindly and said, "I only robbed one person, but the guy I robbed was called Zhang Yuxu."

"Hmm?" Mu Xun raised his eyebrows. He also knew that Zhang Yuxu was his rival. Now that he heard that Mu Changsheng had fought with him, he immediately asked curiously: "How strong is Zhang Yuxu?"

On the other side, Song Zhi walked over and asked in the same way: "Did Master Mu fight with Zhang Yuxu?"

Seeing the curious looks in Mu Xun and Song Zhi's eyes, Mu Changsheng said directly: "I won by luck, but Zhang Yuxu does have many tricks that are not recorded in the intelligence. For example, he has a secret technique that can temporarily restore and enhance strength, and his long spear can also be divided into two short spears at any time, which is very flexible."

Mu Changsheng had no good feelings towards Zhang Yuxu in the first place, so naturally there was no need for him to keep it a secret for Zhang Yuxu.

"I didn't expect Zhang Yuxu to have so many hidden cards." Song Zhi sighed, and then said intentionally or unintentionally: "I'm afraid that many other people also have hidden cards, just to make a splash in the county exam."

As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean anything, but the listener may take it seriously. Mu Changsheng was enlightened by what he heard and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Miss Song is right. Perhaps some people don't care about the ranking rewards in the county exam at all. They deliberately hide their strength and only want to be in the top ten in the county exam so that they can participate in the county exam. Then they will really exert their strength in the county exam. I'm afraid we need to pay more attention to this matter."

Seeing Mu Changsheng's understanding, Song Zhi praised him and said, "Mr. Mu's analysis is absolutely correct. I have learned that in previous county examinations, many people who made a big splash have emerged."

Mu Xun watched Mu Changsheng and Song Zhi speak in unison and finish their words. He looked helpless and felt a little redundant again.
