Chapter 217: Chapter 186 One Sword Breaks Ten Thousand Swords_1

“Same old, same old!”

After reading the contents of the contract, Xu Mu shook his head, handing it back to Shang YaoYao.

Shang YaoYao accepted the contract back, defiantly retorting, “What do you mean ‘same old’? This time the conditions are at 80%, and we do not require you to marry into our family. The woman you would be marrying is one of the top geniuses in our Shang clan, with a high likelihood of advancing to the Golden Pill stage in the future!”

Shang YaoYao leaned closer to Xu Mu, trying to tempt him, “And she is exceptionally beautiful!”

The last sentence was unnecessary!

I wonder if I look like someone who is easily swayed by beauty!

“You know my personality well. How about we discuss this after I win the competition tomorrow!” Xu Mu replied with a grin.

“You can’t possibly think you’re going to win, do you?”

Initially, she thought Xu Mu could at most advance to the semi-finals. His success in defeating Qu Qingdream really took her by surprise.

However, based on Lu Baiyu’s impressive display of strength today, Xu Mu’s chances of winning are practically nonexistent.

It’s not that Xu Mu is underpowered, rather Lu Baiyu is exceptionally powerful.

A Qi Cultivation stage practitioner controlling thousands of flying swords, can truly be considered a monstrous prodigy.

“You don’t believe in me?!”

“No, I don’t!”

Shang YaoYao shook her head.

“In that case, how about we make a bet?!”

Xu Mu stood up and walked two steps forward, snapping his fingers.

“Another bet? What are you up to?”

Shang YaoYao eyed Xu Mu suspiciously.

“It’s simple, wager all your Spirit Stones on my victory. If I win, all the Spirit Stones will be mine. If I lose, I’ll join your clan according to the contract!” Xu

Mu proposed.

“Do you think I’m stupid? Won’t that be equivalent to you not losing anything while I lose all the Spirit Stones for nothing?” Shang YaoYao grumbled.

“Do you accept or not? If you don’t, let it be!”

Xu Mu shrugged, not appearing bothered.

After a moment of hesitation, Shang YaoYao nodded in agreement.

“I can accept that, but I have one stipulation!”

“Speak!”

“If you win, under the same conditions, you must join our Shang clan!

Xu Mu’s eyes glittered as he nodded in agreement.

Once the matter was settled, Shang YaoYao did not linger. Taking out a talisman, she vanished right in front of Xu Mu who went back to meditate.

The next day, the competition’s stage was set and the two players ascended under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

“Senior brother Xu!”

“Junior Brother Lu!”

Both of them greeted each other with a fist and palm salute, their expressions calm and composed, not saying much.

The audience watched nervously.

Many had stakes riding on this match.

Boom!

As the match bell rang, Lu Baiyu immediately unleashed dozens of flying swords from his storage bag, nearly covering half of the arena.

“Senior brother Xu, I apologize in advance!”

After so many matches, Lu Baiyu felt he had seen through Xu Mu completely.

There was no need for prevarication.

Swift resolution was the wisest course of action.

“As long as it is within the rules of the competition, do as you wish, Junior Brother!”

Xu Mu summoned his flying sword, responding with a relaxed smile.

“In that case, I will not hold back.”

Upon seeing Xu Mu’s reaction, a crease formed on Lu Baiyu’s forehead.

However, he did not hesitate and unleashed his full power. Thousands of flying swords hurtling towards Xu Mu like a torrential downpour.

The dense swarm of flying swords covered the entire arena, leaving no place to hide.

Roar!

Xu Mu’s flying sword morphed into a real-looking dragon, protecting him from harm.

The Great Azure Dragon Sword Jue!

Rumble!

In the next moment, Lu Baiyu’s countless flying swords, akin to a tidal storm, immediately engulfed Xu Mu.

“What the hell is Junior Brother Xu doing? Why isn’t he evading?” Lee, anxious, blurted out.

“The arena is too small. There is no place for Senior Brother Xu to hide,” Qi Yue responded, his eyebrows furrowed with worry.

Luo Qingchen clenched her fist without speaking.

At this moment, Qu Qingdream slowly walked over, stating, “He is not that stupid. He must have his own plan.”

“What kind of plan involves placing oneself in such a dangerous position?” Lee turned to look at Qu Qingdream, questioning.

Most people believed the only way to defeat Lu Baiyu was to drag out the match as long as possible and get as close to him as possible to deal a fatal blow.

The current situation suggested Xu Mu had all but given up.

Qu Qingdream furrowed her brows, not uttering a single word. She did not know what his plan was either but based on their previous interaction, she was convinced Xu Mu wouldn’t surrender without a fight.

Not just her, many others were wondering the same. What was Xu Mu’s strategy in placing himself in such a disadvantageous position?

“This match is quite dull,” commented the Elder of the Spirit Snake Valley.

“Maybe there will be some surprises,” replied the Elder of the Plum Blossom

Sect.

“What kind of surprise can there be? Thousands of flying swords are not something a Qi Cultivation practitioner can resist against…”

Before the Elder of Spirit Snake Valley could finish, an overpowering Sword Qi erupted from amidst the densely packed flying swords, as if a peerless weapon was about to be unsheathed.

“This Sword Qi?! Could Senior Brother Xu have brought a spiritual artifact into the fight?” Qi Yue exclaimed in astonishment.

The rest were equally incredulous.

The intensity of that Sword Qi far exceeded that of a typical Qi Cultivation stage. “He is not stupid to use a Spiritual Artifact openly in the fight. That would bring disgrace upon himself rather than admitting defeat straight away!” Qu Qingdream added.

“Exactly! Junior Brother isn’t that kind of person!” Luo Qingchen asserted firmly.

The Elder officiating the match on stage seemed to be preparing to intervene. But he didn’t actually stop the match, an indication that Xu Mu hadn’t cheated.

“How did he do it?”

That question sprang up in everyone’s mind.

Before they could get their thoughts sorted, a powerful red Sword Qi suddenly burst forth from among the flying swords. Like a long rainbow, it effortlessly sent all the swords in its path flying and shot towards Lu Baiyu with unstoppable force.

Lu Baiyu’s eyes widened in shock. He tried his best to control all the flying swords to resist, but his attempts were futile.

Just as the Sword Qi was about to pierce Lu Baiyu, the Elder overseeing the match, who was a Golden Pill cultivator, stepped in, using a defensive spiritual artifact to block the Sword Qi.

Clearly, Lu Baiyu had lost this match.

Damn it! How could I have lost?!!

The unparalleled Sword Qi shattered Lu Baiyu’s psychological defenses.

He had always been ranked first among his peers and seldom faced defeat. This match was supposed to be a sure-win for him. He could never have imagined Xu Mu winning, especially with an unknown Sword Qi technique.

He must have cheated. I do not accept this!

A sinister red light flickered in Lu Baiyu’s eyes, his facial expressions twisted with bitterness. The gentlemanly and graceful demeanor from before was nowhere to be seen. Taking advantage of the moment as the Elder blocked the Sword Qi, he controlled the flying swords suspended in the air and attacked Xu Mu again.

This was utterly unexpected.

Xu Mu had exhausted his strength in that Sword Qi attack. At this point, even a single Wind Blade could potentially kill him, let alone an attack by thousands of flying swords.

The Elder on stage hadn’t expected such a turn of events either. By the time he reacted and tried to intervene, it was already too late due to the close proximity of the flying swords to Xu Mu.

Die! Die! Die!

Die!

If you die, I will be the first!
