Under the attention of everyone, Shen Mo slowly walked onto the martial arts stage.
"Please give me some advice, Senior Brother Lu!"
Facing such a famous figure among the peripheral disciples, Shen Mo did not dare to rely on 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 have been promoted this year.
Although 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. He has made great progress all the way before. He seems to have not tried his best. I believe that in this battle, even Shen Mo will win." Even if you are capable, it will be difficult for you to defeat 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 technique is only at the first level, in the hands of Senior Brother Lu Xu, it has been cultivated to an incredible 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, most 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, and after all, he is more impressive than Shen Mo who suddenly burst out.
"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 were also people who spoke for Shen Mo, but only a few responded.
The 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 thing that ranks 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 enemies 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 swept away and turned into afterimages, attacking Shen Mo.
"What a terrifying movement speed!"
"This should be the legendary "Phantom Step"!"
"He is worthy of being a genius with top-notch qualifications. The immortal arts he has cultivated to perfection are 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 green lotus flames 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 would be seriously injured.
If Shen Mo was hit, it could be said that he was immediately 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 he had time to think about it, a sharp sword intent suddenly struck him.
"Qiang!"
The shadow of the sword flickered, and Lu Xu's figure exploded back, blood spilling 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 the previous battle, he already knew that it was impossible for him to defeat Shen Mo by sneak attack.
Although Lu Xu was proud of the "Phantom Step" that he had perfected, it could also be seen that Shen Mo also practiced the magic of lightness, and his speed was no less than his own.
If you want to defeat him, you can only accomplish it in one battle and win 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 expires.
Lu Xu's use of talismans and elixirs meant that he had given up the idea of competing for first place. He only hoped to take this opportunity to defeat Shen Mo and at least join the top two.
"It's really not easy for this dark horse to force Lu Xu into this position. 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, but 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, only had a solemn expression on his face. He held the Dragon Bird Sword horizontally in front of him and assumed the best posture to draw the sword, but 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 earth-shatteringly powerful!
While 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 - Burning Heaven!"
Without any hesitation, he directly used the strongest attack.
