Mu Qing's counterattack was swift and domineering, and the sword shadow shot at Lu Manqing even faintly exuded the pressure of the peak of transformation.
Lu Manqing looked at this scene with bright and calm eyes, and said, "So this is your true strength."
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Lu Manqing advanced instead of retreating. With her body light and agile to the extreme, she took the initiative to bump into him.
Mu Qing was also a little surprised when he saw this scene. He struck this blow with emotion. Not only did he activate the secret technique to increase his strength to the late stage of mortal transformation, he also consumed all the purple energy generated by the breath of chaos. This sword The power has exceeded his own expectations.
Mu Qing quickly looked up at Turing, hoping that Turing would stop the game immediately.
Turing had already stretched out his hand, but the next moment, his eyes paused with surprise.
On the arena, the sword shadow condensed with powerful power stopped in front of Lu Manqing.
Lu Manqing just stretched out a finger to stop the sword shadow. No matter how many times the sword shadow struck, it was still difficult to move forward.
Mu Qing stood there, watching this scene silently, squinting slightly.
The sword intent that Lu Manqing was exuding at this moment was too bright and dazzling. It was a force that surpassed all sword-shaped objects in the world. Even though the golden sword shadow was endowed with powerful offensive power by Mu Qing, it was still difficult to face Lu Manqing. When people were young, they still instinctively showed a sense of retreat, and even as time went by, this retreat slowly turned into surrender.
Lu Manqing's five fingers felt aggrieved and forcefully separated Mu Qing's will from the golden sword shadow, and then a sword shadow flowing with golden light was held in her hand.
At this moment, Mu Qing, who was holding the Demon Suppressing Sword, could clearly feel the fear and uneasiness coming from the Demon Suppressing Sword. He sighed in his heart and said, "This is the domineering power of the innate sword body. I have grown up today." I’ve seen it.”
Lu Manqing smiled slightly, but soon her smile froze, and she frowned. She lowered her head and glanced at the sword shadow in her hand, and said, "This sword shadow has been blended into a Hongmeng purple energy by you. I don't want to subdue it." It’s easy, but thank you for the gift, at least it allowed me to see another amazing swordsmanship.”
Mu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. This was the first time he heard the term "Hongmeng Purple Qi" and he silently noted it in his mind.
He gained a lot from this battle with Lu Manqing. What he wanted to do most now was to find a quiet place and try to see if he could break through the situation in one fell swoop. Turing's voice happened to sound from the ring, saying: "Before the game starts, The two of you agreed to decide the winner with one sword. Now that you have each struck a sword but the fight is tied, why not continue until one side loses."
Lu Manqing raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his face quickly and said, "Great Elder, I admit defeat, there is no need to fight anymore."
"Oh?" Turing actually liked the young girl Lu Manqing the most. He ducked to the ring and asked puzzledly: "Your battle has just begun, why do you want to admit defeat? Do you despise the reward for first place?"
Lu Manqing glanced at Mu Qing and smiled slyly: "I proposed to fight with swords because I took advantage. Now it ends in a tie, so it's not ugly for me to lose, but if it continues, it's hard to tell. Compared to him His sword, his strength is astonishingly deep."
Lu Manqing used the move "Si Wuxie" before and it seemed that she stood aside and did nothing, but she was actually completing every step of the deduction by herself, which consumed a lot of money. In order to subdue the sword shadow in her hand, she He even used all his strength to activate the innate sword body, which consumed a huge amount of energy.
Lu Manqing knew very clearly that if she wanted to defeat Mu Qing, she would have to use the advantage of her innate sword body to perform the strongest attack in the shortest possible time. But doing so would not only make her weak for several months, but Even Mu Qing would be injured, so he said to Mu Qing: "This is a competition, not a life and death fight. I have a sword, but it is reserved for the real enemy, so this is how it ends between you and me."
Mu Qing shook his head. Although he wanted to end the game early, he was unwilling to accept such a first place. He took the initiative and said: "It's a tie, let's declare it a tie."
Lu Manqing was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, she said sincerely: "Actually, if we continue to compete, I will still lose. People with chaotic bodies have particularly deep foundations. I am no match for your endurance."
Mu Qing smiled and said: "Since we agreed that the outcome will be decided with one sword, then a draw should be considered a result."
Lu Manqing felt helpless and looked at Turing.
Turing thought for a while and said: "Yes, yes, but who should give the first place reward? If it is divided equally, how will it be divided?"
Mu Qing didn't think much about it. He thought about it and said, "Those three water spirit pills belong to me, and the rest belong to Senior Sister Lu."
Lu Manqing said in surprise: "You don't even want the Personal Crystal?"
Turing looked at Mu Qing with deep eyes, "You don't know the value of the Personal Crystal? Then this is given to Ying Que as a betrothal gift, and he has no reason to refuse?"
Mu Qing said: "I already have a master, and the various inheritances in Suzaku City are enough."
Lu Manqing said strangely: "It is indeed difficult to cultivate a complete cultivation system, but is it also difficult to find a suitable person? I heard that Miss Ye Yun is the innate water source body. This thing is given to her, and it will be good for her future. Practicing helps a lot.”
Facing Lu Manqing's sincere reminder, Mu Qing could only smile bitterly in his heart. Ye Yun not only had the personal crystal obtained from Qing Ying, but also the fragments of the Taiyin crystal core, which he really didn't need.
As for giving personal crystals to others, Wang Yeqing may be able to do so, but once he does so, it will still bring many hidden dangers.
Everyone knows that among the rewards given by the gods, the place crystal is the most precious. When the news spreads that Mu Qing will come out on top and receive the reward, if it attracts some secret covetous people, it will actually bring trouble to Wang Yeqing.
Mu Qing now has a deep understanding of the limitations of his own strength and cannot provide strong protection to everyone around him.
After changing his mind, Mu Qing also expressed some real thoughts, "Suzaku City has not really established a firm foothold in the spiritual world. Knowing that guessing that you have good things in your hands is different from being sure that you have good things in your hands. This personal crystal is in Suzaku City, and this crystal is in Wuji Sword Sect, which are two different things."
Lu Manqing understood what Mu Qing meant and sighed, "I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful."
Mu Qing said to Turing: "Great Elder, there are four rewards for the first place. I will take the Water Spirit Pill and a promise from your divine association, and the rest will be given to Senior Sister Lu."
Lu Manqing said quickly: "Then I should share my reward."
Turing sighed softly, "Girl Lu, don't worry, someone is truly smart."
Turing turned his head and stared at Mu Qing, half-smiling: "What kind of promise do you want?"
Mu Qing already had an idea in his mind, and regardless of Lu Manqing's presence, he said sincerely: "I hope that no matter what happens after the Mingquan Secret Realm is opened, the Great Elder can spare the life of Ying Island Master."
A dangerous light flashed deep in Turing's eyes, and he stared at Mu Qing silently. The atmosphere in the ring suddenly became oppressive, and even Lu Manqing felt a trace of danger spreading from Turing.
"What do you know?" Turing asked.
Under Turing's gaze, Mu Qing said frankly: "I don't know what will happen next. But Hua Aunt's assassination and Master Lan's reminder made me feel that Mishima is in a strange calm. Maybe there is still calm under this calmness, maybe... I know that the great elder must be the person who knows the most about some secret actions, but I hope everyone is safe."
Hearing Mu Qing mention Wei Shenglan, Turing's expression softened a little. He didn't care what Lu Manqing on the side would think after hearing this, and said bluntly: "There is nothing unspeakable. Mishima was already before the storm. Calm down. If something goes wrong in Mingquan Secret Realm, the three islands may not live up to their existence, and in the face of this matter, it is impossible for me to agree to your promise."
Mu Qing frowned, "Is Island Master Ying planning something behind his back?"
Turing looked at Mu Qing, and then at Lu Manqing, whose eyes were slightly bright. Facing the two best young people who were about to enter the secret realm of Mingquan, Turing suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.
Recalling that back then, he personally sent Tantai Xuan's parents to participate in the trial in the Mingquan Secret Realm. It was also that time that his son and daughter-in-law did not come back.
Turing said slowly: "What is Ying Que planning?"
It doesn't matter. What's important is what the guardian in the secret realm wants to do. When you enter the secret realm tomorrow, you are most likely to encounter it. If the situation is not right, just quit the trial voluntarily. This is my only reminder to you. "
Lu Manqing sensitively captured Turing's emotions and wondered: "Isn't the vigil the stability of the secret realm of the defender? Could it be that it can no longer hold on and is planning to give up?"
"Haha. Silly girl."
Turing shook his head and said: "Tomorrow's trial in Mingquan Secret Realm will be the first trial in which outsiders will participate, and it may also be the last. The guard is to protect the three islands, not to protect you. Maybe you will Death in its hands is the greatest danger."
"..."
Lu Manqing's eyes widened and he looked at Turing in surprise. After a while, he asked with a complex expression: "Aren't you afraid that we will tell this news to the elder?"
Turing said: "Although I made various promises to you before the Ming Shen Tu competition started, if you want to leave, the God Association will not stop you."
Mu Qing said solemnly on the side: "The abyss under the secret realm is real. If the three islands are swallowed by the abyss, this disaster will eventually affect the entire cultivation world."
Turing glanced at Mu Qing and smiled: "At your age, you are indeed a good elder who can see the overall situation like this. But you are still young. I like a sentence very much, and now I am sending it to comfort you young people."
"When the sky falls, there is still a tall person holding it up."
"alright!"
Turing waved his sleeves to end the conversation, and the golden mask covering the arena disappeared immediately.
The crowd's voices quickly reached the ring, "Great Elder, is this the end of the game?"
Turing nodded and announced loudly: "Mu Qing and Lu Manqing will decide the outcome with one sword. Since it is a draw, then naturally this battle will also be a draw."
Someone asked in surprise: "Then who is number one?"
Turing smiled slightly, but did not follow the ideas of Mu and Qing. He replied: "This competition is meant to let today's young people get to know each other, so there is no first place. The two are tied for second place. As for the reward, , the two will equally divide the first and second place rewards.”
