Chapter 21: Defeat

The Foundation Establishment cultivator froze once again at the sight, and it was Xu Mu who finally stepped forward and asked, "Senior Uncle, may I ask if this should be considered a student victory?

Only then did the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator come to his senses, give Xu Mu a rather approving look, and loudly announce, "The winner of this match is Red Flame Peak, Xu Mu!"

The surrounding disciples were instantly excited, and one by one, they muttered.

If it was said that Xu Mu's victory before was based on treasures that were more powerful than others, this time they could see his fighting strength.

Especially those disciples who had just joined and had yet to start cultivating, they were all even more fascinated after watching Xu Mu and Zhao Yuming fight.

Xu Mu smiled carelessly at the situation, without the previous smug expression on his face, and walked forward to retrieve the magic weapons scattered on the ground into the storage bag.

Previously, the spiritual energy Xu Mu used was all green-coloured wood-attribute spiritual energy.

That's right, right now, after the air wave had passed, the wood-attribute spiritual energy in Xu Mu's body had been consumed, but fortunately, he still had quite a bit of internal energy and fire-attribute spiritual energy to help him stand up.

As for using the storage bag, it was even more so with just a trace of spiritual energy.

On the side of Heavenly Sword Peak, people also came to carry Tang Yu Ming's body down, while also collecting the green flying swords and green spirit mirrors scattered on the ground.Xu Mu looked at the Green Spirit Mirror, curious as to what this mirror had to do with his own Green Condensation Mirror, to say that there was no connection between the two, Xu Mu would not believe it.

However, at the moment, his master was not at the mountain gate, so he could only hide this doubt in his heart, and after storing his magic weapon, he went down to the ring.

Seeing Xu Mu come down, Shi Yu immediately came over and chattered a bunch of times, his eyes filled with admiration for Xu Mu.

However, Xu Mu didn't have time to chat with her this time, and immediately sat down on his knees and started meditating to replenish his spiritual energy.

Shi Yu naturally knew that Xu Mu had used up a lot of energy, and it was not easy for him to get up again, so she hastily closed her mouth and watched Xu Mu cultivate, looking like she was guarding the law for him.

An hour passed quickly, and Xu Mu felt the orb in his sleeve vibrating again, so he opened his eyes.

At this point, his wood attribute spiritual energy had recovered most of it, and if he encountered an opponent with similar strength to the previous round, he might have to lose.

Under Shi Yu's encouraging eyes, Xu Mu slowly walked towards the ring, only to see a white-clad silhouette suddenly fly out from the opposite side, and when it stopped in the ring, Xu Mu was left speechless.

What he was facing in this round was actually Xue Ning, an entity at the sixth level of Qi Practising!

In addition to the identity of the sect leader's disciple, Xue Ning was also afraid that there was no shortage of extremely high-level magic weapons on her body, and this was destined to be a vicious battle!

"Good day, Senior Sister!" Although Xu Mu was helpless, he was not so out of sorts that he respectfully greeted Xue Ning.Seeing this, Xue Ning just nodded lightly and said, "Your name is Xu Mu, right? You admit defeat, the current you is still not my opponent, it's not too late to challenge me again in the clan competition in three years' time.

With that, Xue Ning turned to leave, seemingly determined that Xu Mu would admit defeat.

The Clan Competition she was talking about was an event that would be held every five years, in which all disciples could participate, and the rewards were even more lucrative.

Xu Mu smiled bitterly at her words and slowly said, "Please enlighten me, Senior Sister!"

Xue Ning's figure immediately stopped, slowly turning back to Xu Mu and looking at him in surprise, "Your cultivation hasn't fully recovered yet, has it?"

"Not bad, I've only recovered most of it," Xu Mu nodded and said.

"Good, then I'll only use half of my cultivation as well, strike!" Xue Ning said, standing on the spot and pulling out a white misty handkerchief that seemed to contain a hidden mist from afar.

Xu Mu's heart was aghast at the sight, he had never seen a similar magic weapon before, it might have some wonderful use, and he hurriedly raised his spirit to deal with it.

Seeing that the other party had allowed herself to strike first, Xu Mu was not polite to her either.

"Senior sister, then senior brother is offended!"

After saying this, Xu Mu directly offered his Golden Thread Sword from his storage bag and attacked directly at Xue Ning.

Seeing this, Xue Ning did not take the enemy lightly, her eyes condensed slightly, the spiritual energy in her hand was instantly injected into the white handkerchief, only to see the white handkerchief rise against the wind, and in a matter of moments, it turned into a white curtain blocking in front of Xue Ning.The next moment, Xu Mu's flying sword pierced through that white handkerchief, and a strange feeling came over him.

Xu Mu felt like he was being stabbed in the water, nowhere to feel the power and everywhere to feel the pressure, the flying sword flew forward for less than a foot before it was bounced back by a huge force.

"What a strange handkerchief," Xu Mu secretly thought in his heart, but instead of admitting defeat, he took a step forward and the internal power of the innate skill in his body raced forward, carrying his body forward.

"There are actually secular world martial arts?"Xue Ning's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise at this sight, but then she regained her calm colour, reached out for her handkerchief, and actually stood still without doing anything, watching Xu Mu attack.

The next moment, Xu Mu's figure came to the front of Snow Ning, see the Snow Ning actually had no intention of counterattacking, Xu Mu only a slight hesitation, will sacrifice flying sword attacked over.

Seeing this, Xue Ning shook her head in disappointment, and with a flash of white light in her hand, she actually waved her handkerchief directly to hit the attacking flying sword.However, Xue Ning was immediately surprised to find that the flying sword in front of her was not the extremely high-level magic weapon Xu Mu had used earlier, but the sect's standard magic weapon, the Fire Cloud Sword!

This Fire Cloud Sword had just been wrapped in cyan spiritual power by Xu Mu, and was completely undetectable.

Just as she reacted, a sharp stinging sensation suddenly came from her back, and at that moment, Xu Mu had already arrived behind Xue Ning after unleashing that attack.

Only to see his hands of spiritual light unleash the golden thread sword to the unstoppable momentum of flying forward, directly stabbing the back of Xue Ning's heart.

The white light in Xue Ning's hand erupted, and the white handkerchief actually came behind her in an instant to block this blow again.

But Xu Mu has already eaten this strange handkerchief of a loss, how will she eat a second time, only to see her hands of green light flashes, a green aura instantly shot out after the first to come, preempting the flying sword one step to hit the handkerchief.

The white handkerchief was hit by the light of the green condensing mirror, the spiritual power on it instantly became unstable, after flashing for a moment, it actually didn't disappear, still blocking behind Xue Ning!At the next moment, a "poof" sound was heard, Xu Mu's Golden Thread Sword once again stabbed at Xue Ning's handkerchief, barely managing to pierce it before it lost its strength and fell to the ground with a "dang" sound.

Xu Mu smiled helplessly and stopped his attack.

Only then did Xue Ning turn around and look at the handkerchief behind her that had broken a small opening, with a flash of white light in her hand, the handkerchief was restored to its original state, but for the first time, her eyes were slightly agitated.

"You're very good!" Xue Ning gave Xu Mu a deep look and praised him heartily.
