Chapter 352: Senluo Ghost Claw
On the stage, Fu Qingzhou and Murong Xuan started fighting fiercely.

Below the stage, various sounds of frightened breathing could be heard.

The two of them had no intention of testing each other, and as soon as they started, they used their strongest moves!
It’s simple, they have fought before.

Fu Qingzhou once fought with Murong Xuan by a small river outside the city, but at that time Murong Xuan did not use her full strength in order to help him gain momentum. After her long sleeves were shredded by his sword, she simply withdrew her hand.

This is also why she tore off her long sleeves as soon as she went on stage today.

She is good at dancing with long sleeves, and when she wears long sleeves, she displays the dancing skills she learned at the Qiluo Palace. Although she has improved and changed them many times on her own, they are still the foundation of the Qiluo Palace.

But her real killer move is that pair of ghost claws!

No one knows where she learned this claw technique, and not many people have even seen this ghost claw in use.

Back then in the illusion, as soon as she used this ghost claw, she strangled all the young heroes who pounced on her. Although it was only a flash in the pan, it was enough to show how powerful it was!
So far in today's competition, she has never even demonstrated her claw skills.

But facing Fu Qingzhou, Murong Xuan did not hesitate at all, and her first move was her strongest killer move!
In an instant, eerie claws appeared on the stage and the situation changed drastically!
Those curved nails seemed to have turned into haunted ghosts. They were twisted and weird, carrying a strong smell of death, and pounced towards Fu Qingzhou.

As Murong Xuan's fingers danced, dark claw shadows intertwined and shuttled in the air, like a group of ghosts dancing wildly, and screams came one after another, which was creepy.

Each of her attacks was like a ghost hand reaching out from the abyss of the underworld, trying to drag all living beings into endless darkness.

Fu Qingzhou saw it and was secretly shocked.

This powerful attack was no worse than Ning Wushu's "Wind and Thunder Sword"!
Even between these ghost claws, he could faintly smell the same fearful aura as that of the Demon-Subduing and Karma-Slaying Sword. While dodging the ghost claws, he could also feel the trembling coming from every inch of skin and muscles in his body.

However, since he could shoot dozens of arrows through the gaps in the Wind and Thunder Sword, he could naturally find the flaws in the Ghost Claw.

The next moment, just as Murong Xuan approached his Adam's apple with one claw, a knife flashed!
The long knife drew an arc and nimbly penetrated into the claw shadow that was like a dragnet, piercing straight into Murong Xuan's chest!

The knife was extremely tricky. He found a glimmer of opportunity in the seemingly impenetrable attack and seized the opportunity and killed forward.

But Murong Xuan was not someone who could be easily dealt with. Despite such an unexpected blow, her expression did not change at all. She retreated slightly, and the momentum of her claws suddenly changed, pressing towards the long sword.

She actually wanted to grab the knife!

How could Fu Qingzhou let her succeed? He raised the knife with his backhand, bringing out a blazing blade light.

In an instant, the sword energy overflowed and the sharp air waves whistled away. Although Murong Xuan dodged very quickly, several strands of her long hair were still cut off.

"it is good!"

The audience, who had been watching with bated breath for a long time, finally couldn't help but burst into thunderous cheers at the same time.

With this knife, Fu Qingzhou turned defense into offense and began a fierce attack.

Facing a close combat expert like Murong Xuan, he had no intention of using the bow and arrow at all.

Her moves might not be as domineering and arrogant as Ning Wushu's, but the treacherous and changeable claw shadows were even better. Although she had become passive at this time, her body movements were still terrifying and amazing. From time to time, she would circle behind Fu Qingzhou like a shadow, trying to find an opportunity to counterattack. If Fu Qingzhou had not had the move of not moving the Pluto's Sword, he would have been scratched by her on the back and suffered several deep wounds.

"In terms of exquisite moves, her ghost claws are even better than mine. I haven't learned all the sword techniques. I have been paralyzed for the past month and have not been able to practice swordsmanship properly. I can't use bows and arrows either..."

Fu Qingzhou thought to himself, "What's even more interesting is that her moves are as fast as a shadow, and her evasions are as fleeting as a ghost, forcing me to be unable to break through with force? Zhao Hao's belief that she has the potential to win the championship was no casual talk."

He was just thinking about it, and this moment of distraction gave Murong Xuan an opportunity.

A strong sense of crisis came over him, and he subconsciously dodged to the side, only to see Murong Xuan's ghost claws passing by his ribs, almost piercing through his body!
Just by passing by, Murong Xuan regained the initiative.

"How dare you be distracted?!"

She spoke, her tone was so sinister that it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry. The next moment, she suddenly raised her hands.

In an instant, Fu Qingzhou only felt a flash before his eyes, and Murong Xuan's figure turned into two, two into four, and four into eight, attacking like ghosts in the sky, blocking every way for him to dodge!
But, he raised his eyebrows instead.

This move...he seemed to have seen it before.

This was the case when Yuan Zhen used the second move of the Three Avici Destructions, Lost in the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

It's just that what he used at that time was the sword technique. When he drew his sword, there seemed to be thousands of sword shadows filling the air in front of him. The real sword intent was hidden among the countless sword lights. As long as one was not confused or afraid, one could ignore the thousands of sword shadows and find the real sword.

But Murong Xuan's moves are somewhat different.

The same clones, the same overwhelming force, but she did not hide one claw among hundreds of claws, but every move and every style was real. Fu Qingzhou had no doubt that if he went forward, he would be torn into a bloody mess in the next moment, and there would not be a single piece of good flesh on his body!
How to defend against this?
That’s how you prevent it.

Fu Qingzhou took a half step back, held the sword in front of him, and used the Unmovable Pluto Sword again. At this moment, he figured out one thing.

I can't break Murong Xuan's Senluo Ghost Claw, but isn't Murong Xuan the same?
She tried many times, but couldn't break her own sword skills, right?
Just now, she failed to succeed because of my distraction, she was still just one point short!
Therefore, she had to resort to the dumbest method - giving up defense, concentrating all her skills in one battle, and using her strongest move.

At this moment, Fu Qingzhou had just dodged her fatal move and wanted to counterattack, but it was too late.

All he can do is defend.

But since it was defense, it was now time for him to do what he was best at… using force to defeat clever tactics!
Seeing him use the familiar Immovable Pluto's Sword, a strange look flashed in Murong Xuan's eyes.

But now that this move has been used, there is absolutely no reason to stop!
The next moment, under the nervous gazes of countless spectators, the overwhelming and grim ghost claws began to smash down like raindrops!

The claws cut through the wind, making a ghost-like howling sound, and the air was almost sucked out. Fu Qingzhou even felt a little suffocated for a moment.

And when the first claw fell on the dark earth around him, his counterattack also ended.

A ray of light as bright as fire and thunder appeared between the dark and terrifying ghost shadows.

boom!
On the large platform with an iron base and thick wood floor, a deep knife mark about a meter long suddenly appeared!
The sword energy was whistling in all directions, and the blade was pointing right at the rest area. The heroes in the rest area screamed in surprise and dodged, and several tables and chairs were blown to pieces by the sword energy.

On the big stage, blood was splattered everywhere.

Murong Xuan took a few steps back and landed on the ground staggeringly. Her hands were shaking, and her sleeves had been torn to pieces by the sword energy. Her fair arms were covered with crisscross wounds, and blood flowed down her arms and dripped onto the ground from between her fingers.

But her eyes were filled with extreme fanatical excitement!
“So strong, so strong!”

She said hoarsely: "You are stronger than before!"

Fu Qingzhou let out a light breath and threw the hilt of the knife aside.

Yes, his knife was ruined again...

Last night, he had a fight with Ning Wushu and his sword was broken. Before coming to compete today, he went to Feng Ren's place and got a long sword, but it was broken again...

It wasn't just the knife that was destroyed.

As he threw the knife handle, the clothes on his upper body flew down like snowflakes and scattered all over the ground.

His strong and well-proportioned muscles were covered with claw marks, but the claw marks only left white marks on his body. Some of the deeper claw marks oozed blood, but all of them were just shallow wounds.

Just now, he infused the Immovable Pluto Sword with the power of the Sixth Realm True Essence, and blocked about 80% of Murong Xuan's power.

The long sword was no match for such a huge force, and finally it couldn't bear the weight and was broken after being chopped off.

The remaining 20% ​​of the force fell on him, causing some minor flesh wounds.

Fu Qingzhou didn't tell anyone that now that his muscles and bones could generate true energy, how could he be like an ordinary person?
He doesn't need to do anything to infuse his true energy into every inch of his skin and muscles!
Fortunately, he has entered the sixth realm. If he was still at the fifth realm, this strike would be enough to turn him into a bloody man. This Murong Xuan... is stronger than his previous self!
"it is good!"

On the judging platform, Jiang Baichuan was the first to laugh and clap his hands: "Young Master Fu, you have great skills!"

When he spoke, everyone in the audience suddenly woke up from their dream.

Fu Qingzhou, this is... winning?
Yes...Murong Xuan's hands are both seriously injured. It looks like she can't even lift her hands. Hasn't she already lost?
For a moment, earth-shaking cheers and applause roared up, drowning the entire Luoyi City.

"Now, can you tell me?"

Amid the cheers, Murong Xuan walked slowly towards Fu Qingzhou with anticipation in her eyes: "Who is stronger, me, Ning Wushu, or Yuan Zhen?"

Fu Qingzhou thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "In my opinion, if it is a life-and-death fight now, Lady Ning will definitely be able to kill you, but you will also be able to leave her with extremely terrible injuries."

"As for Yuan Zhen... in the best case scenario, you can probably kill him while being seriously injured; in the worst case scenario, you will die with him."

"But now he is in the fifth realm. If he breaks through to the sixth realm, no matter you, me, or Ning Wushu, I am afraid we may not be his match... This person possesses countless secret treasures of the Jinchan Temple. If you and I do not have other adventures, we will definitely be surpassed by him in the future."

After hearing his answer, Murong Xuan smiled with satisfaction.

"Yes, this is the answer I want."

She smiled and said nothing more, then floated off the stage, leaving the whole audience cheering and applauding.
