Chapter 266: Chapter 58 Taking a Step Ahead [Seeking for Monthly Ticket!]_1

"Chu Liang will definitely not lose, you can count on that." Lin Bei declared with staunch conviction, thumping his chest.

Behind him, Shang Ziliang and Henchman A were a bit on edge. Shang Ziliang said, "Though elder brother often manages to surprise us, Senior Sister Mu is no pushover. I wonder if he can beat her through sheer might."

"I don’t know exactly how he’ll win, but I just know he will." Lin Bei said firmly: "I have absolute faith in him."

The strong confidence he exuded in Chu Liang took Shang Ziliang aback. If Lin Bei had such complete trust in Chu Liang, how could he lag behind?

So Shang Ziliang looked up and shouted enthusiastically, "Chu Liang, Chu Liang, the strongest in Shu Mountain!"

Chu Liang quickly made a shushing hand gesture to him, looking taken aback. He turned back to face Mu Yuetong, his expression growing serious.

"Senior Sister Mu, please."

"Junior Brother Chu, go ahead."

Both sides exchanged courtesies and then Elder Deacon in the center waved his hand, "Begin!"

The moment the match began, Mu Yuetong honed in on Chu Liang’s hands, her sword bursting with dazzling light!

She’d seen Chu Liang’s previous battles and knew that he heavily relied on his strange magical instrument that could take multiple forms with swift attacks and great deal of damage. But as long as she kept her focus, it would not be too hard to guard against.

The plan was to strike first and preemptively, not allowing him the opportunity to make use of his magical instrument!

However, instead of the Green Leaf Magical Instrument, Chu Liang took out a jade talisman.

A storage talisman.

The Shu Mountain had strict rules about what magical instruments the disciples could bring on stage - only one item each time, and it must be checked beforehand. A storage talisman could also be considered a magical instrument that could be brought on stage, but only one, and the cultivation of the stored divine skills couldn’t exceed the participants’ realm by more than one level.

In other words, if Chu Liang brought a storage talisman on stage, he couldn’t bring the Green Leaf Magical Instrument. Moreover, this talisman could only be used once, and it could only contain divine skills performed by Fourth Realm cultivators.

There were quite a few restrictions.

But he chose to bring it anyways, storing a curse cast by Luo Yao.

The Forbidden Land!

Smack.

As the curse descended, a gentle breeze swept through in an instant. Mu Yuetong felt her True Qi stagnate, oppressed by the laws of heaven and earth. Realizing the effect of the curse, her expression changed rapidly.

All her cultivation was embedded in her sword. If she couldn’t use her True Qi, there was no talking about Sword Qi.

But she did not remain idle. She worked vigorously to channel her cultivation, her sword flickering, its sharpness intimidating!

She knew she just had to hit with her full power and the duration of the Forbidden Land would be significantly reduced! Chu Liang could only store a Forbidden Land cast by a fourth realm, which she could break through in a few breaths. After that, Chu Liang would not have any other magical instruments to use, while she retained a lead with her superior cultivation and one magical instrument.

She merely had to endure this short period!

But could she?

...

Chu Liang was already rushing over, swift as the wind.

Through observing the previous two battles, he had seen all of Mu Yuetong’s combat skills, knowing all her training revolved around sword technique with an invincible offensive! If she was allowed to fully activate her abilities, even a Fifth Stage cultivator might not dare to claim they could leave unscathed.

Consequently, her weakness lay in her lack of defense.

Offense is indeed the best defense, but what about when you can’t attack? Especially in the previous two battles, Chu Liang had never seen her displaying any Divine Skills related to her physical body.

So he concluded, as a pure female Sword Cultivator, it seemed Mu Yuetong hadn’t put much emphasis on the cultivation of her physical body.

The way to deal with Mu Yuetong might be a bit more difficult.

He probably only had a few moments to attack, after which she’d break free from the Forbidden Land.

Having practiced the Dragon Blood Secret Method up to now, Chu Liang’s physical body far exceeded his peers in strength. Taking a stride forward, he arrived in front of Mu Yuetong within one breath.

Mu Yuetong held up her longsword, ready for battle.

As a Fourth Stage cultivator, even if her body was weak, she wouldn’t be completely defenseless. She still had her sword technique to rely on, which could in theory hold up against a Third Stage martial arts cultivator. So at this moment, she wasn’t too flustered.

How advanced could Chu Liang’s martial arts be?

Yet, in the face of her longsword, Chu Liang didn’t even unsheathe his weapon. Instead, with one flickering motion, he arrived behind Mu Yuetong. His gaze was cold and a gleam of resolve flashed through his eyes.

I’ve clearly seen through all your strengths, but you know nothing about my methods. The outcome of this fight was already decided long ago.

The Retreat Body Technique!

Here comes a knife-hand strike!

Bang.

Without any resistance, Mu Yuetong collapsed, losing consciousness.

Two breaths of time, the fight was over.

...

"Heh heh, aren’t you going to say something, Elder Huang?" Elder Sun teased from the observation platform, grinning from ear to ear.

"What are you laughing at? Weren’t you wrong too?" Elder Huang looked gloomy; he hadn’t expected the boy to pull another surprise and win the match so easily.

"I only speculated he would lose based solely on my prejudice towards Empress Feng. Ignoring that, I think highly of this young man with the Top Grade Golden Core, and the result is as expected." Elder Sun shook his head, "I didn’t analyze everything crazily with a notebook and still ended up completely wrong."

"Hmph." Elder Huang tossed away the booklet in his hand and snorted, "His victory was merely a fluke. Without concrete power, he won’t go far."

"He knows how to utilize his own advantages and exploit his enemy’s weaknesses, I think highly of him." Elder Sun’s eyes twinkled, and he suddenly said, "Why not make a bet on his next fight, win or lose?"

"Oh?" Huang asked, "What are you betting?"

"If he wins his next fight, you have to loan me ’Ignorant’ from the Tianshu Pavilion for three days." Elder Sun proposed.

"I noticed your longing gaze at ’Ignorant’ a long time ago, show your fox tail now." Elder Huang sneered, "Then if he loses his next fight, you have to give me your writing opportunity for this year from the Tianshu Pavilion."

"Once the words are out, nothing can change!" Elder Sun laughed.

As these two old timers were chatting and laughing, they heard a commotion. Elder Chuan Jian was trying to stop someone.

"Don’t be ridiculous! Is the mountain gate summit a place for you to run wild?" Elder Chuan Jian said sternly.

"I don’t mean any harm, I just heard that surname Huang is here?" the person shouted, "I have long wanted to ask him whether it was his idea for his disciple to constantly blacken my name in the Seven Star Mansion Report."

This fiery voice made the two old men shudder and turn their heads to look. Indeed, they could see a tall and glamorous woman in a long robe, her eyebrows furrowed and eyes wide, trying to rush over.

Seeing this, Elder Huang’s face went pale. He jumped up and said, "Just say my house is on fire, I need to leave first!"
