No hope for eternal life

Chapter 281 Lin Yu's Helplessness

How to stop the Thunder God Giant who is comparable to a late-stage Jinhua cultivator is an almost unsolvable problem for most peak Nascent Soul cultivators, but for Lin Yu, it is not unsolvable.

Lin Yu's magical power was surging, and the source came from the green sword in her hand. At this moment, the green sword was like a bottomless pit, madly devouring all the spiritual power around it.

In an instant, the green sword in Lin Yu's hand had completed charging, and then he drew the sword. The sword light instantly illuminated the entire illusion space. Even if Mu Changsheng was just watching, he felt a stinging sensation in his eyes.

"What kind of move is this?" Mu Changsheng thought in horror. He could sense the power of this sword just by looking at the sword light.

As soon as the sword came out, those great human monks who were originally in high positions on the viewing platform outside the illusion all widened their eyes, wanting to take a closer look, because they all guessed the origin of this sword. This was the unique secret skill passed down by Yang Wuji to the Tianling Sect, called: Space-Time Sword Killing!

In the illusion, Lin Yu stabbed the giant Thor's chest with a sword. The sword light passed through his chest. At this moment, time seemed to have stopped, and the sky and the earth became dim. The power was evident.

However, the giant thunder god that was condensed by Mu Changsheng with all the power of the Void God Talisman suddenly shattered.

Of course, this sword was not without cost. After the sword was struck, the green sword in Lin Yu's hand was full of cracks and almost shattered. She herself was bleeding from her mouth and was injured. With her cultivation level of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, it was too difficult for her to perform such a powerful secret technique.

However, in Lin Yu's opinion, it's all worth it.

Lin Yu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a strong face, and performed the secret technique again. After recovering her own magic power, she still retained most of her strength.

On the other side, Mu Changsheng had already vaguely guessed the origin of Lin Yu's sword, but since Lin Yu only used that move at the last moment, it meant that the move could not be used often and could probably only be used once, so he still had a chance.

Just as Lin Yu expected, after Mu Changsheng used the Void God Talisman, the magic power in his body was forcibly suppressed by the power of the previous Void God Talisman, and it almost stagnated and became difficult to operate. Naturally, his strength also dropped greatly. This was the sequelae of using the Void God Talisman.

But Mu Changsheng still has a trump card, that is, the divine talisman!

Although he could not use his own magic power, the divine power in the talisman was stronger. With the power of the talisman, Mu Changsheng's condition would be even stronger than usual.

Therefore, Lin Yu's condition declined, while Mu Changsheng's condition improved. As a result, the gap in strength between the two was instantly narrowed or even disappeared.

Seeing that Mu Changsheng's condition was getting worse instead of worse, Lin Yu was slightly shocked and thought about how to deal with it.

But Mu Changsheng did not give Lin Yu time to think. Before, he was unwilling to let Lin Yu get close to him, but now he took the initiative to attack Lin Yu, and the offense and defense changed.

On the other side, Lin Yu did not choose to dodge. She realized that her last chance was to defeat Mu Changsheng in close combat.

So, Mu Changsheng and Lin Yu fought in close combat for the first time. Both of them had used up all their trump cards and wanted to defeat the other in close combat.

Mu Changsheng relied on the power of the summoning talisman and used a variety of moves to attack Lin Yu.

Lin Yu continued to strike with her sword without showing any weakness. Relying on the Nine Profound Secret Technique, she could restore her magic power at will and was not afraid of a protracted battle at all.

As time went by, Mu Changsheng continued to use the talisman to maintain his divine power. He had used five talismans in succession, but Lin Yu was still fighting tirelessly, as if his magic power would never run out.

You must know that the number of summoning talismans in Mu Changsheng's hand is limited. Once he runs out of them, he will definitely be defeated.

Thinking of this, Mu Changsheng had to change his strategy again, turning his blood and energy into a secret technique and launching it.

Mu Changsheng burned his essence and blood, and he wanted to use the power of the burning essence and blood to help him defeat Lin Yu.

After burning his blood and essence, Mu Changsheng became more powerful and his attacks became more ferocious. He directly suppressed Lin Yu.

Seeing this, Lin Yu was forced to do nothing but burn her blood and essence like Mu Changsheng, so that she could remain undefeated and seek a chance to win.

As a result, Mu Changsheng and the other person were stuck in a stalemate again. Both of them wanted to find opportunities in the stalemate, but both of them had very solid basic skills and could not find each other's flaws at all.

In this way, after hundreds of rounds of fighting, Mu Changsheng and the other man were still unable to defeat each other.

However, the turning point soon appeared. Since Lin Yu had already burned her blood and essence when she was trapped in the God-Slaying Formation before, and the two of them started burning their blood and essence almost at the same time, Lin Yu consumed more blood and essence and was the first to collapse. If she continued to burn her blood and essence, it would not only be of no help, but would lead to her premature demise.

This was also the reason why Lin Yu felt helpless before, because she had already anticipated that once she and Mu Changsheng burned their blood and essence together, she would be the first to collapse.

This was also Mu Changsheng's strategy. He relied on that little advantage in essence and blood to suppress Lin Yu and thus defeat Lin Yu.

Now, Lin Yu has to stop burning his blood and essence, his strength has dropped greatly, and he is completely suppressed by Mu Changsheng. Mu Changsheng's goal has been half achieved.

Victory is in sight, Mu Changsheng is fully focused and dares not be careless, lest all his efforts be wasted at the last moment.

Thanks to Mu Changsheng's caution, Lin Yu tried to fight back desperately several times, but was suppressed by Mu Changsheng every time, and Lin Yu himself was injured several times.

In this way, Mu Changsheng, like a frog in boiling water, slowly forced Lin Yu into a desperate situation and completely cut off his last glimmer of hope.

"Crack." Mu Changsheng launched a decisive attack, and a five-finger palm thunder accurately struck Lin Yu.

Lin Yu barely blocked the attack, but her energy was weakened and she no longer had any chance of winning.

After Lin Yu clearly understood his situation, he could only say helplessly: "I give up."

The word "surrender" was really unfamiliar to Lin Yu. She was adopted by Shangguan Qiong since she was young, and had a smooth journey in cultivation. Except for competing with her elders, she had never lost to her peers. This failure made her feel very complicated.

On the other side, Mu Changsheng clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Senior Sister Lin."

Lin Yu quickly calmed down and said to Mu Changsheng in return: "My master once taught me that skills are for people. No matter how good the secret skills are, the key to victory still lies in people. Today, I have indeed learned a lot from you, Junior Brother."

Lin Yu asked herself, the secret techniques she practiced were all top-notch in the world, but she was defeated by Mu Changsheng's pile of talismans and formations. It seemed ridiculous at first glance, but it was reasonable in every way. Mu Changsheng planned before taking action, and every time he made a move he would leave himself a trump card and a retreat. In contrast, she seemed to have been led by Mu Changsheng, forced to burn her essence and blood, forced to show her strongest trump card, and so on.

"Senior Sister, you are too kind. I was lucky to win this time." Mu Changsheng replied with a smile.

Outside the illusion, the spectators had different reactions when they saw Mu Changsheng defeat Lin Yu. They were all more or less surprised, but Feng Rui was an exception and looked extremely happy.

"That's right. Every generation has talented people, and the future will be more promising." Feng Rui smiled and spoke, as if the loser Lin Yu was not her beloved disciple.

Ji Tianyu, the head of the Ji clan, also responded with a smile: "The two sects have opened their doors to many people, which is indeed a great help in attracting talented people from all over the world. This is really enviable."

Feng Ze, the king of the Shenfeng Kingdom, was also sitting on the viewing platform, but he was sitting at the last seat. Listening to Feng Rui's words of praise, he couldn't help but feel regretful. If he had known this would happen, he should have forced Mu Changsheng and Feng Li to become a couple.
