"Please!"
Mu Jinyu's expression became stern, and he cupped his fists towards Dao Wuming and said.
"Sss!"
Dao Wuming stopped wasting time, his gaze suddenly sharpened, like two sharp knives. He had activated his Sword Intent!
Then, he grasped the Nameless Sword and slashed directly towards Mu Jinyu!
This slash was without any flourish or reservation; it was a true full-force strike from a Fanxu Realm master!
Of course, Dao Wuming did not use any martial techniques or techniques, only the pure power of the Fanxu Realm!
But with the augmentation of his Sword Intent, man and sword became one, and the power of this slash was actually no less than a Top Profound Rank blade technique, practiced to the level of Mastery!
An average Ninth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm would have almost no ability to resist this slash from Dao Wuming!
"Ha!"
Mu Jinyu let out a light shout, and at the same time activated his Only Me State of Mind and "True Dragon Art"!
With the activation of the "True Dragon Art," Mu Jinyu's bloodline was stimulated, and his power would see a considerable boost. Previously, during his battle with Di Shitian, he had also used the "True Dragon Art" and at that time, with his bloodline stimulated, his cultivation barely reached the Fanxu Realm level.
Now, because he had refined a drop of Sacred Wood Essence, his power had already seen some improvement. Using the "True Dragon Art" again, he was now temporarily at the true Fanxu Realm level.
At this moment, the gap between Mu Jinyu and Dao Wuming lay in their depth of understanding of their respective Intents!
"Whoosh!"
Mu Jinyu did not choose to face him head-on but instead used the "Ten Steps Move" technique, almost teleporting to avoid Dao Wuming's slash, and in a flash, maneuvered behind him, raising his palm to throw the Bi Fang Cauldron at his back!
If this hit, even with Dao Wuming's Fanxu Realm strength, he would feel uncomfortable.
"This is..."
In the spectator seats.
Zhou Taiping, who had been smug and pleased, saw Mu Jinyu's power surge with the "True Dragon Art," his face turned stiff. When he saw Mu Jinyu's Transcendence level movement technique, the smile completely vanished from his face.
Xie Chenkun, witnessing this scene, was both shocked and delighted.
He knew Mu Jinyu had a Transcendence level movement technique, but he was not aware of this strength-boosting secret technique.
If he had known, he would not have felt so despairing earlier.
"Hahaha, even if he loses, he should give Dao Wuming a hard time!"
Xie Chenkun couldn't help but laugh.
He still wasn't too optimistic about Mu Jinyu but found it very satisfying.
It's no wonder he didn't have much hope for Mu Jinyu; the secret techniques of Kunlun Void for temporary strength boosts often don't last long and can't compare to a genuine Fanxu Realm. If Mu Jinyu could give Dao Wuming a tough time, he'd feel very pleased.
...
On the combat platform, Mu Jinyu swiftly glided behind Dao Wuming, throwing the Bi Fang Cauldron, and just as it was about to strike Dao Wuming's back.
Dao Wuming, at the critical moment, abruptly stopped his previous slash, then withdrew his sword and twisted his body to block!
"Bang!"
"Tap tap tap..."
The Nameless Sword clashed with the Bi Fang Cauldron, and Dao Wuming ultimately had to forcibly resist, unable to use his full strength. With the quality of the Nameless Sword inferior to the Bi Fang Cauldron, his face turned pale as he was driven back several steps!
He hadn't expected Mu Jinyu to have such a movement technique, forcing him to abruptly halt a fully unleashed slash, suffering a backlash of qi-blood to block the rear attack, thus falling into a disadvantage and even sustaining a minor injury.
"Good!"
Despite the slight injury from his own carelessness, Dao Wuming's pale face brightened with an even sharper, cutting gleam, like a razor reflecting the glaring sunlight!
"Now this is interesting."
As Dao Wuming finished speaking, his aura erupted again, his eyes gradually glowing crimson, and the Nameless Sword in his hand began to emit a dense blood-red light!
"Blood Dance Sky!"
This time, Dao Wuming no longer attacked casually but wielded his most proficient Earth Rank Inferior Quality martial technique, the "Blood Dance Sword Technique," to duel Mu Jinyu!
"Boom!!"
As Dao Wuming pushed the Blood Dance Sword Technique to its peak, he slashed fiercely towards Mu Jinyu. Instantly, a terrifying blood-red sword beam shot from the Nameless Sword's blade, slashing directly at Mu Jinyu!
"Sssh!"
The sword beam was unparalleled, sharp and unmatched, as if it cleaved the void in two.
The countless spectators observing Dao Wuming's slash felt, if they were in Mu Jinyu's place, they would be scared out of their wits, incapable of even thinking of resisting.
"Grr!"
Yun Ge's face turned pale as she stared blankly at Dao Wuming, her heart continuously shouting, "So, this is your true strength. The slash you defeated me with earlier wasn't even a tenth of your full power. Is the gap between us truly this wide?"
Mu Jinyu was also startled by the power of the blood-red sword beam surging toward him.
However, at the critical moment, the Bi Fang Cauldron, which had collided with the Nameless Sword and was sent flying, had just returned to him, making it difficult to resist in that instant.
Thus, Mu Jinyu resorted to frantically using the "Ten Steps Move" to evade the sword beam. When that failed, he used the "Great Freedom Heavenly Wood Sword Qi," transforming into countless enormous trees to delay the attack!
"Sssh!!"
Unfortunately, the Heavenly Wood Sword Qi, almost invincible within the Heavenly Sword Faction, had no resistance against Dao Wuming's "Blood Dance Sky," immediately being shredded into wood splinters.
It couldn't even slightly diminish the sword beam's power!
However, it ultimately managed to buy Mu Jinyu a bit of time.
"Rise!"
Mu Jinyu let out a soft shout, and the Bi Fang Cauldron, now tall as a man, lifted its lid. No raging Bi Fang Flames spewed out, as Mu Jinyu temporarily couldn't control the cauldron to that extent.
Yet, Mu Jinyu never intended to use the Bi Fang Flame against Dao Wuming. As soon as the lid lifted, he leaped into the cauldron!
"Boom!!"
"Clang clang!!"
Just as Mu Jinyu jumped into the Bi Fang Cauldron, the lid closed, and the blood-red sword beam struck the cauldron hard.
The Bi Fang Cauldron trembled violently.
But as a top-quality spiritual treasure, the cauldron remained undamaged under the sword beam's bombardment!
If it were the Qingyang Cauldron, Mu Jinyu estimated that jumping into it would lead to immediate destruction of both!
"Whoosh!!"
"Clang clang clang!!"
The onlookers initially thought Mu Jinyu had successfully resisted Dao Wuming's "Blood Dance Sky," not anticipating the terrifying sword beam to disperse after clashing several times, transforming into thin sword beams sweeping across the entire combat platform.
In an instant, it enveloped the ten-zhang-wide platform, surging tens of zhang high!
At this moment, anyone on the platform had no place to stand. To save their lives, they could only jump off!
Fortunately, Mu Jinyu had the top-quality spiritual treasure Bi Fang Cauldron and had jumped in at the right moment.
Otherwise, facing this move "Blood Dance Sky," he truly had no other means of defense!
