Immortality: Starting with Plundering the Talents of Monsters

"The swordsmanship you practiced outside is definitely inferior to that of the Five Elements Sect."

"Therefore, I will stand still. You only need to knock me back one step to win."

Luo Mingfeng's eyes shone brightly, and his boundless fighting spirit radiated without any concealment.

Suddenly, a slender and agile golden beast shadow swept through the air.

Luo Mingfeng's spirit beast, the Liufeng Sword Sable, actually clung to the golden-patterned longsword.

Then, the gilded sword sable transformed into a gilded sword aura, completely merging with the golden-patterned longsword.

A more powerful and sharp sword aura spread out than that emanating from Xu Mo.

It pressed straight ahead, sweeping all the way to the crowd in the stands.

"As expected of the number one prodigy of the Luo family, just this aura alone is unbearable for me, and my body is trembling."

"It seems... Master Xu is destined to lose."

The sword energy, surging like a raging torrent, almost completely enveloped Xu Mo.

Xu Mo stood there silently, expressionless, showing not a trace of fear.

  

"Luo Mingfeng's swordsmanship is indeed far superior to mine; I could never be his match."

But...didn't he just say that as long as I can push Luo Mingfeng back one step, I'll consider it a win?

Although Luo Mingfeng seemed to have made a huge concession.

But as Luo Mingfeng said, Xu Mo's training was indeed in both swordsmanship and internal energy cultivation.

Compared to the Five Elements School, they are all insignificant "cheap goods".

Therefore, Luo Mingfeng's concession is actually quite reasonable.

This can make the battle as pure as possible, rather than simply a matter of overwhelming each other in terms of cultivation level or swordsmanship.

"The first move of my Gengting Shuyang Sword Technique is not just a simple slash, but also includes many tiny golden lightning fragments."

"I refuse to believe that Luo Mingfeng wouldn't retreat an inch in the face of such a sword technique."

"Make your move."

Luo Mingfeng's expression turned serious, and his gaze gradually became solemn.

He doesn't like to hold back when he's fighting someone.

At the same time, we will not underestimate our opponents in the slightest.

I will go all out against every opponent, regardless of their strength.

Upon hearing Luo Mingfeng's words, Xu Mo no longer held back his politeness.

His hand gripped the hilt of the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword tightly, and the Gengjin spiritual power surged forth.

A cold glint flashed as the sword's shadow swept past.

A very faint golden line slashed straight towards Luo Mingfeng.

"Hmph, not bad swordsmanship."

But... in the end, it's nothing more than a trivial skill.

Luo Mingfeng, displaying the demeanor of a master, offered a comment before calmly and unhurriedly wielding the golden-patterned longsword.

Then, without any fancy moves, just a very simple slash.

A golden light shone brightly, and the surging, sword-like Geng metal spiritual power accompanied Luo Mingfeng's sword strike.

Cut them all down at once.

In less than half a breath, he neutralized Xu Mo's sword move.

"Use all your other sword techniques."

Luo Mingfeng stared at Xu Mo, as if he could see right through him.

And Xu Mo.

He knew that the gap between him and Luo Mingfeng was enormous, and that he could not be defeated by ordinary means.

Therefore, Xu Mo took precautions and quietly mobilized his spiritual power the instant before unleashing the final strike.

It suppressed the fine, golden lightning that was about to erupt.

"I can only rely on information asymmetry to win."

Within Xu Mo's sword sheath, Gengjin sword energy rapidly condensed once more, awaiting its opportune moment.

But at this moment, Luo Mingfeng frowned somewhat displeased and asked:

"I have already completely dismantled your sword move... It's just that I first concealed the sword within it, accumulating spiritual power before unleashing it."

"Let's try a different approach."

Luo Mingfeng waited for a moment, but Xu Mo remained in the same position without changing.

He couldn't help but doubt, a hint of disappointment in his voice:

"Could it be... that this is the only sword move you know?"

Xu Mo remained silent, focusing solely on channeling the Gengjin spiritual power downwards, continuously pouring it into the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword.

This time, under Xu Mo's deliberate manipulation, the Gengjin Cold Iron Sword accumulated enough energy to unleash two Cold Thunder Cleaves.

Clang!

A metallic clang rang out, and a long, golden-patterned sword flew out.

Luo Mingfeng then lightly pressed his fingers forward, and countless Gengjin sword energies separated from the sword.

just now.

Luo Mingfeng had grown impatient and lost interest in Xu Mo, no longer wanting to fight him.

He was only thinking about ending it with one sword strike.

With a thought from Luo Mingfeng, the golden-patterned longsword, carrying numerous fragments of Gengjin sword energy, struck Xu Mo.

Xu Mo, however, showed no intention of drawing his sword. Instead, he unleashed the Mysterious Golden Armor Technique.

【Scale Armor Golden Shield】 was also activated at the same time.

Golden, beast-like scales were hidden beneath the golden armor.

Several sword energies bombarded Xu Mo in round after round, and the golden armor gradually cracked with tiny fissures.

"Hold on! Once we withstand this attack, we'll unleash our sword strikes!"

The longsword with golden patterns pierced the golden armor covering Xu Mo.

All the defenses he had put up on his body were destroyed.

However, it successfully blocked Luo Mingfeng's sword strike.

"If it weren't for the fact that golden light talismans cannot be used in magical duels, making it impossible to conceal one's presence..."

Otherwise, if another layer of golden light were added to the outer garment, Luo Mingfeng wouldn't be able to break through the defense.

Luo Mingfeng's offensive ended, and Xu Mo seized the opportunity.

With a burst of lightning, he slashed out two pale golden lines.

Seeing that it was the same move again, Luo Mingfeng yawned boredly, his interest waning.

After casually swinging his sword, he dissolved all the golden threads.

Luo Mingfeng, with unpretentious simplicity, thrust his sword forward once more.

They were attempting to end this battle of wits in this way.

Unexpectedly, a vast, dense ocean of golden lightning erupted in an instant, covering the entire arena.

"That's more like it!"

Luo Mingfeng was not afraid of this; on the contrary, he became very interested, and his eyes seemed to burn with fire.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you, Xu Mo!"

"That's the kind of fierce and relentless attack we need!"

He laughed heartily and kept slashing at Jin Tinghaiyang with his sword.

Countless strands of Gengjin sword energy also separated from his golden-patterned longsword.

Together with Luo Mingfeng, they fought against a vast ocean of sharp golden lightning.

A moment later, Luo Mingfeng deftly deflected the shattered golden lightning, a smile playing on his lips, his pride soaring:

"Let's continue!"

However, they were completely unaware of the dumbfounded expressions of the clansmen in the stands.

"Luo Mingfeng, the prodigy of the Five Elements Sect, was actually defeated by an insignificant talisman-making guest elder from my clan!"

"Luo Mingfeng... has actually lost."

Luo Changfeng and Luo Lingyue were also impressed by Xu Mo's superb fighting skills.

"Xu Mo...didn't he say he was just a talisman master who wasn't good at combat?"

"You're telling me this is called being bad at fighting?"

Xu Mo picked up the Gengjin Cold Iron Longsword and pointed it at the spot where Luo Mingfeng had been standing.

"You took a full ten steps back."

Xu Mo remained calm as he sheathed his long sword, his white robe fluttering in the wind.

"Luo Mingfeng...you've lost."
