No hope for eternal life

Chapter 340 The final showdown

With the help of the Virtual God Talisman, Mu Changsheng's speed increased greatly, comparable to You Liancheng's peak speed, and has surpassed Cui Li.

Cui Li naturally knew that if Mu Changsheng got close to him, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Silver Snow Step."

The battlefield was covered with flying snow. Cui Li flew on the snow, and his speed instantly increased significantly. He was using the Silver Snow Secret Technique to empower himself.

Even so, Cui Li's speed was still a little slower than Mu Changsheng. He could only run away while continuing to control the flying sword to charge and attack Mu Changsheng.

The flying sword attacked for the third time, and its attack power increased to a higher level. Mu Changsheng could only respond with the power of the Void God Talisman.

Although he successfully repelled the flying sword again, Mu Changsheng already felt the strain. He knew that he had to seize the time and interrupt Cui Li's flying sword from accumulating power, otherwise he would surely be defeated.

At this moment, the distance between Mu Changsheng and Cui Li was less than ten miles. For the two of them who were in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, this distance was not much different from being close to each other.

Therefore, Mu Changsheng decisively launched an attack on Cui Li. He used the secret technique of the Five Thunders and summoned five thunder gods to attack Cui Li together.

The name of the Five Thunder Gods is not for nothing. As soon as he appeared, he controlled the power of thunder and blocked Cui Li's escape route.

The five thunder gods took the opportunity to surround Cui Li, and it seemed that the situation was beyond rescue even by the gods.

But Cui Li's expression was calm. A long sword appeared in his hand. Together with the flying sword outside, he was controlling two swords by himself.

"Two swords, did he refine two natal swords?" Mu Changsheng's heart shuddered. Although he was not a sword cultivator, he knew a lot of common sense about sword cultivators. After reaching the Golden Core Realm, sword cultivators could choose to refine a natal sword that was connected to their life. The natal sword and the sword cultivator would suffer together and prosper together.

The reason why there is the concept of natal sword is to enhance the combat effectiveness of sword practitioners. Once a flying sword becomes a natal sword, it will undergo a qualitative change. Especially in terms of combat performance, the gap between the natal sword and an ordinary flying sword is huge.

Generally speaking, a sword cultivator would only have one natal sword, because it was very expensive to cultivate a natal sword, just like cultivating a clone, and too many natal swords could not be maintained. Moreover, the natal flying sword was connected to the life of the sword cultivator, and each additional natal flying sword was equivalent to an additional flaw, which was also a considerable disadvantage.

Therefore, at this moment Mu Changsheng secretly hoped in his heart that the long sword in Cui Li's hand was not his natal sword, otherwise it would be difficult for him to deal with it.

But as the saying goes, what you fear will come to you. As Cui Li drew his sword, Mu Changsheng immediately confirmed that it was also his natal sword.

Cui Li swung the sword in his hand like the wind and successfully resisted the siege of the five thunder gods.

At the same time, Cui Li's natal flying sword outside also attacked Mu Changsheng again.

Mu Changsheng stood there motionless, used the Zhoutian Talisman, and blocked the flying sword's fourth attack with the Zhoutian Star Robe, but the price was that the light on the Zhoutian Star Robe dimmed a lot in an instant.

Mu Changsheng's eyes were fixed on Cui Li. Cui Li's two natal flying swords, one for attack and one for defense, complemented each other, making Mu Changsheng wonder in his heart: "I didn't expect you to hold back in the previous competition."

But Mu Changsheng changed his mind and thought about You Huanyu's methods again, and suddenly he understood why Cui Li did not show his second natal sword before.

“In this situation, I can only give it a try.” Mu Changsheng thought to himself. Cui Li's natal flying sword, which was constantly gathering power, was like a death warrant. Either he would defeat Cui Li before he could no longer block the flying sword, or he would be defeated by Cui Li's flying sword. There was no third possibility.

Therefore, Mu Changsheng decided to give it a try and use the sixth-grade intermediate God-Slaying Formation to trap Cui Li, who was fighting with the five Thunder Gods, in the formation. The natal flying sword in Cui Li's hand was good at defense but not attack, and it was impossible for it to break the God-Slaying Formation instantly.

At the same time, Mu Changsheng brazenly activated the Starfall Talisman of the peak level of tribulation and smashed it towards Cui Li.

Since the natal sword in Cui Li's hand is good at defense, let's see whether its defense is stronger or Mu Changsheng's Falling Star Talisman has stronger attack power!

If Cui Li could withstand this move, Mu Changsheng would be doomed to failure.

Cui Li's face became solemn when he saw this. He didn't know if he could block it or not. He would only know after he had touched it.

Then, Cui Li raised his sword and silently said: "Extreme cold."

This is Cui Li’s strongest defensive move, for which Cui Li did not hesitate to burn his blood!

When this move was used, thousands of miles were frozen, and the space seemed to solidify, forming a sharp contrast with the red flame star attack formed by the Falling Star Talisman.

Bingfeng and Mars were in a constant battle, but the power of the Falling Star Talisman was still superior. It crushed the icy ground and attacked Cui Li unwaveringly.

Outside the God-Slaying Formation, Cui Li controlled the sword and launched the fifth attack on Mu Changsheng. His idea was the same as Mu Changsheng's. As long as he defeated Mu Changsheng, the caster, no matter how many other means he used, they would be useless.

Seeing this, Mu Changsheng still used the Zhoutian Talisman to block the flying sword attack, but the light of the Zhoutian Star Clothes completely dimmed, and the power of the Zhoutian Talisman had been exhausted!

This is also the reason why Mu Changsheng insisted on fighting with all his strength. If he continued, no Divine Transformation cultivator would be able to stop Cui Li's natal flying sword from continuously accumulating power.

Inside the God-Slaying Formation, Cui Li finally came into contact with the red flame star transformed by the Falling Star Talisman. Success or failure depended on this. Mu Changsheng and Cui Li both knew this very well.

Under the influence of Cui Li's extreme cold secret technique, the Red Flame Star seemed to be turning into ice blue, but at this critical moment, the Red Flame Star exploded.

Countless real flames exploded from the stars, extinguishing the surrounding coldness and drowning Cui Li.

Although Cui Li tried his best to defend himself, he was not a physical cultivator after all, and even a little bit of the power of the flaming plasma was enough to cause him great damage.

As a result, Cui Li's body instantly became riddled with holes, and the soul inside it was also severely damaged. He couldn't even control his natal flying sword.

Cui Li had to face the reality at this moment and took the initiative to say: "I give up."

Upon hearing this, Mu Changsheng immediately clasped his fists and said in return, "Brother Cui, I'm grateful for your kindness."

At the same time, the formation spirit took action and helped Cui Li recover from his injuries instantly, and also helped Mu Changsheng recover.

Cui Li had already prepared himself for the defeat, so he was not depressed at all. Instead, he encouraged Mu Changsheng, "Junior Brother Mu, it's up to you from now on. Fight for first place and bring honor to the sect."

“I can’t say anything else, but I will definitely try my best.” Mu Changsheng replied with a smile. You Huanyu was able to defeat Cui Li before because of his absolute power like the Falling Star Talisman. So who is stronger between him and You Huanyu, only after a fight can we know.

On the other side, You Huanyu defeated You Liancheng as expected.

Soon, under the control of the formation spirit's thoughts, everyone had to face his last opponent. Cui Li and You Liancheng competed for the third place, and Mu Changsheng and You Huanyu competed for the first place!

"The competition begins." Array Spirit Xiannian announced, signaling everyone that they could begin.

But You Huanyu did not rush to take action. Instead, he politely held his sword and clasped his fists towards Mu Changsheng and said, "Brother Mu, please teach me."

"I dare not. Brother You, please teach me." Mu Changsheng replied with a fist salute.

The next moment, Mu Changsheng and You Huanyu rushed towards each other almost at the same time in tacit understanding. They both had their own means to rely on, so they were not afraid of close combat.

Mu Changsheng used the secret technique of Five Thunders to strengthen himself, and threw a thunder fist with all his strength, hitting the tip of You Huanyu's sword.
