Shen Mo slowly walked onto the martial arts stage under the attention of everyone.
"Please give me some advice, Senior Brother Lu!"
Facing such a famous figure among the peripheral disciples, Shen Mo did not dare to trust him.
Immediately, he took out the Dragon Bird Sword from his waist.
"Qiang!"
The Dragon Bird Sword turned into a stream of light and flew into Shen Mo's palm.
Then, the aura around him suddenly became extremely fierce.
Everyone held their breath and watched the scene where Shen Mo and Lu Xu faced each other from afar on the stage, and couldn't help but start discussing.
"Who do you think will win?"
"Lu Xu can be said to be the most famous among the peripheral disciples who were promoted in this year.
Even though Shen Mo is quite a dark horse, he will probably suffer a loss when facing Lu Xu."
"Yes, I also think that Senior Brother Lu Xu should be able to win. After all, he is a master of two first-level immortal arts that have been cultivated to perfection. His previous attacks have been overwhelming, and he seems to have not tried his best. I believe that in this battle, even Shen Mo
No matter how capable you are, it’s hard to beat Senior Brother Lu Xu’s trump card.”
"I heard that Senior Brother Lu Xu's biggest trump card is the "Fire Control Technique". Although this magical skill is only at the first level, in the hands of Senior Brother Lu Xu, it has been cultivated to an unbelievable level. Coupled with the Earth Fire Skill that he has painstakingly cultivated,
Blessing, its effect is not inferior to the second-grade level."
Despite Shen Mo's outstanding performance, the vast majority of people are still more optimistic about Lu Xu.
A person’s name, the shadow of a tree.
Lu Xu has been famous in the peripheral area for many years, but after all, he is more impressive than Shen Mo who suddenly appeared.
"I think there is a lot of suspense in this battle. Maybe this dark horse can really surprise everyone again and reach the finals!"
There are also people who speak up for Shen Mo, but only a few respond.
Many discussions and exchanges in the audience did not affect Shen Mo and Lu Xu on the martial arts stage.
As soon as the two came on the stage, their consciousness and energy quickly locked onto each other, creating a sense of tension that was about to break out.
"Green Lotus Flame!"
Lu Xu and Shen Mo faced off for a while, but still couldn't keep calm and took the lead.
With a move of his palm, a dark green flame, beating with endless destructive heat, rose from his palm.
This green lotus flame is a rare item on the Earth Fire List.
In order to practice the "Fire Control Technique", he spent a lot of effort to capture and tame it.
When defending against the enemy in battle, this fire is extremely powerful and is his greatest reliance in leapfrog battles.
"Burn!"
When the green lotus flames beat in the palm of his hand, Lu Xu's figure suddenly flew away and turned into afterimages, attacking Shen Mo.
"What a terrifying movement speed!"
"This should be the legendary "Phantom Step"!"
"As expected of a genius with top-notch qualifications, the magic of immortality that he has cultivated to perfection is truly extraordinary. Who can stop him at this speed?"
When Lu Xu's body moved, an uproar suddenly broke out below.
"Boom!"
It only took Lu Xu a breath to move around behind Shen Mo, and turned the flames from his palm into endless red waves and smashed them out.
"Hit?"
When everyone's eyes saw the terrifying wave of Qinglian Flame exploding on Shen Mo, they were shocked.
This green lotus flame is so powerful that it is not inferior to a full-strength strike from the second level of the Qi Gathering Realm.
If hit unexpectedly, even a monk at the third level of the Qi Gathering Realm will be seriously injured.
If Shen Mo is hit, it can be said that he is directly out of the game.
But - things won't be that simple.
Shen Mo sensed Lu Xu's purpose immediately. When he moved behind him, he activated the "Thunder Step" and jumped away suddenly.
What the green lotus flame hit was just an afterimage of Shen Mo.
Lu Xu saw the fire wave penetrating Shen Mo's body, and the smile on his face suddenly solidified.
Before I could think too much, a sharp sword intent suddenly struck me.
"Qiang!"
The shadow of the sword flickered, Lu Xu's figure exploded, and blood spilled out.
"Ahem!"
He clutched his chest with lingering fear, where there was a hideous wound dripping with blood.
Just now, if he hadn't been wearing Xuan-level inner armor and blocked most of the damage, Lu Xu could have been seriously injured with just one strike to the point where he could no longer fight.
"Sure enough, he is not an easy opponent!"
Lu Xu stared at Shen Mo, gritted his teeth, and took out the demon pill and divine power talisman that he had prepared.
"Gulu!"
When he swallowed the evil pill, Lu Xu quickly put the divine power talisman on his chest.
Suddenly, a majestic momentum swept through his body, rising steadily.
After a previous battle, he already knew that it was impossible for him to defeat Shen Mo by sneak attack.
Although Lu Xu is proud of the "Phantom Step" that he has perfected, it can also be seen that Shen Mo has also practiced the magic of lightness, and his speed is no less than his own.
If you want to defeat him, you can only accomplish it in one battle and decide it quickly.
"Lu Xu used the elixir and talisman!"
This scene on stage surprised many people.
Amplifying elixirs and talismans can temporarily increase one's combat power, but at the same time, they will quickly enter a period of weakness after the use time limit.
Lu Xu's use of talismans and elixirs means that he has given up on the idea of competing for first place. He only hopes to take this opportunity to defeat Shen Mo and at least join the ranks of the top two.
"It's really not easy for this dark horse to push Lu Xu to this level. I still underestimated him before."
"No matter what, Lu Xu has used all his cards. If he uses his secret skill "Fire Control Technique" this time, Shen Mo will probably be defeated."
"That's not necessarily the case. Lu Xu has the means, and Shen Mo may not be unprepared."
Many people's eyes were focused on Shen Mo, wanting to see if he had prepared something like the Demonic Pill, divine power talisman, etc. to give it a try.
But Shen Mo, who was being watched by everyone, just looked solemn. He held the Dragon Bird Sword horizontally in front of him and assumed the best posture to draw the sword. However, he did not use the amplification method as everyone imagined.
"After swallowing the Demonic Pill and attaching the divine power talisman, Lu Xu's strength increased by at least 50%."
Shen Mo thought secretly in his heart: "If he uses his trump card again, his power will definitely be astonishing... However, I should still be able to withstand it."
After hesitating for a while, he gave up the idea of using the talisman.
Because once the talisman is used, it means losing the opportunity in the next round of competition for first place.
Lu Xu already believed that he had no hope of winning the first place and only hoped to keep the second place.
But Shen Mo is different. He believes that... even if Lu Xu uses all his cards, he will still be able to defeat the opponent.
"Shangqing Sword Technique - Cut!"
The source of this confidence is Shen Mo's Shangqing Sword Technique, which he has already cultivated to a superb stage.
Although this killing move consumes a huge amount of spiritual energy.
However, its power is absolutely as powerful as earth-shattering!
When Shen Mo was standing with his sword, Lu Xu had already taken action.
After his momentum reached its peak, he raised his hands slightly, and two green lotus flames filled with destructive aura were fused together by him.
"Fire Control——Burn the Sky!"
Without any hesitation, he directly used the strongest blow.
