Chapter 69: Battle of Arms!

  "My young junior, I've taken such good care of you, why do you look so bitter and resentful?" Shangguan Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his right hand, then rubbed his hands together. Both of his hands were stained with his own blood, but a faint smile still lingered on his face.

  "Hmph, it was just a game before, but now it's for real. Blades have no eyes, if you get hurt, don't blame me!" Xu Mo said with a gloomy tone.

  The martial arts on his fists and feet, Xu Mo had already lost. Xu Mo was a Hou Ji Jing's warrior and also an inner disciple of the Zhen Wu Men. Now losing to Shang Guan Yu here made it really hard for Xu Mo to hold his head up high.

  Xu Mo was truly enraged now, if he were to lose here today, then he would really have no face left to see people in the future. The Void Fighting Stage had also suppressed his martial arts realm to the Tianbing Realm, but after all, Xu Mo was a Houxuan Realm warrior and it was impossible for him to really lose to a true Tianbing Realm warrior.

  Hou Ji Jing's understanding of martial arts and his mastery of it are far beyond what a Tian Bing realm warrior can compare to. And as for Shang Guan Yu, he is only a Tian Bing realm warrior after all, Xu Mo wouldn't believe that he would lose to him.

  The kung fu on his fists and feet, Shangguan Yu had those two strange martial skills. It's also unknown what level Shangguan Yu's martial skills were at. In Shangguan Yu's hands, they were so fierce that if Xu Mo used them, the power would probably be even stronger.

  "Huh......" Qin Shou exclaimed loudly, "Didn't you say that Xu Mo's junior disciple was very formidable? But now it seems, he's not that great after all?"

  "Hmm, it's not over yet, and we still don't know who will win!" one of Xu Mo's junior brothers shouted.

  Xu Mo's three junior brothers had unpleasant expressions on their faces. They hadn't expected Xu Mo to lose to Shangguan Yu by a single move. If someone else had told them this, they would have definitely sneered at it, but now that they had seen it with their own eyes, they had nothing to say.

  But the minds of the crowd were shocked, no wonder Shangguan Yu could worship under Wu Santong's door. Not to mention anything else, just looking at this combat power is enough to be proud of the same realm. Xu Mo was suppressed to Tianbing Realm, but with the foundation of Houji Realm, his fighting power is absolutely more fierce than that of ordinary Jiangyi Realm warriors.

  However, they could only keep this shocking news hidden in their hearts, as it was not the right time to offend anyone. Xu Mo had some reputation among the inner door disciples. But if Xu Mo really lost this battle, then even if they offended Xu Mo, they would still have to fawn on Shangguan Yu.

  "Alright, my little junior apprentice, since you still don't know better, your senior uncle will teach you a few more moves with his sword. How about that?" Shangguan Yu said with a smile.

  Just now, Shangguan Yu also won by a narrow margin, relying only on the "Big Five Elements Fist" and "Big Wheel Turning Palm". If he hadn't learned witchcraft and constantly practiced his senses, it would be unknown whether he could break Xu Mo's "Nine Paths Empty Bright Fist" this time.

  "This is my weapon, Silent Blade." Xu Mo took out a long knife, its blade was very long and unlike ordinary knives.

  Shangguan Yu felt a hint of murderous intent and a thread of sharpness from this sword. This silent sword was absolutely a good sword, at least in Shangguan Yu's eyes it was. Up until now, he had only seen two relatively good swords, one was "Yutong", the other was "Badao", and "Yutong" was still on his ring.

  "The Mo Dao was a reward given to me by my master, this knife is made of precious materials." Xu Mo stroked the blade, his eyes gently closed, as if he were caressing his lover, with an expression of indulgence.

  "It's because I performed exceptionally well in the last Grand Competition, that Master decided to give me the Silent Blade." Xu Mo opened his eyes and looked at Upper Official Yu with a pleased expression.

  Shangguan Yu, however, had an indifferent expression on his face. He pulled out a long spear. "This is my weapon, the You Long Gun."

  Everyone didn't notice that the fresh blood on Shangguan Yu's hand earlier had been absorbed by the Long Dragon Gun. Shangguan Yu's blood flowed along the two dragons' bodies on the gun hilt, directly into their mouths. The two dragons seemed to have come alive, and their eyes appeared to be open.

  However, Shangguan Yu's attention was focused on Xu Mo, while Xu Mo only looked at his own silent knife. The crowd below also fixed their gaze on Shangguan Yu and Xu Mo. Only the empty space's Shangguan Zhangmen and Wu Santong truly noticed the change in the long spear.

  In the void.

  "Senior brother, look at the Dragon Traveling Gun!" Wu San pointed to the Dragon Traveling Gun in Shangguan Yu's hand. "I feel like the two dragons on the gun handle have come to life, what's going on?"

  The officer in charge of the gate naturally also noticed the change in You Long Gun. He let out a light gasp. "How is this possible? You Long Gun has actually acknowledged a master?"

  Shangguan Zhangmen's eyebrows furrowed, and he fell into deep contemplation. Wu Santong didn't disturb Shangguan Zhangmen, but instead became curious. Could the You Long spear really be that spiritual?

  Generally, spiritual weapons are extremely difficult to recognize as their master. But in the case of Shangguan Yu, even if Wu Santong had lived for so many years, he would have never seen such a thing happen before. Shangguan Yu had simply accidentally gotten blood on the You Long spear, and yet the You Long spear actually recognized him as its master.

  "Ah, I see." The officer's brow relaxed, "It must be that your disciple has some sort of technique or his blood is special, making the Dragon Gun extremely dependent on him. Which specific situation it is, I'm not entirely clear about at the moment."

  "Hmm, I think it's because of some special technique on his body. The two martial arts moves he used just now, I've never seen them before. If he has some related techniques on him, that wouldn't be strange at all. As for the unusual blood, that's unlikely." Wu San Tong replied.

  "Hmm, it should be like this." The superior nodded in agreement.

  "I don't know if this spear is made of any precious materials," said Shangguan Yu, pausing for a moment, "but it was given to me by the leader of our Zhenwu Sect."

  Shangguan Yu said, but it was almost enough to make Xu Mo spit blood. Xu Mo originally wanted to show off his silent knife, but he forgot that Shangguan Yu had the Yulong spear given by the Shangguan Palm Gate. I remember that at the time, those disciples of the Zhenwu Gate were envious for a long time.

  "Enough idle talk, let's see who's stronger in a real fight!"

  Xu Mo picked up his silent knife and directly chopped towards Shangguan Yu. The knife energy overflowed, stirring up the surrounding heaven and earth's primordial energy. This one knife had an unstoppable momentum, Xu Mo was angry when he launched it, so the power of this knife was naturally not small.

  "Bagua Swimming Dragon Gun!"

  Shangguan Yu directly used this martial skill, since "Dahwuxingquan" and "Dahuanhui Zhang" did not disappoint him, then "Baguayoulongqiang" should also not disappoint him.

  The spearhead of the Dragon Gun was directly against Xu Mo's knife tip, and neither the spearhead nor the knife tip had any damage. If it were an ordinary iron-made weapon, this blow would have been smashed to pieces.

  "Clang......"

  The tip of the knife and the tip of the gun separated, and the dragon gun began to dance around Shangguan Yu's body. The long gun handle was very thin, and it seemed too difficult to use. However, the "Eight Trigrams Dragon Gun" was strange, and it actually protected Shangguan Yu's entire body.

  "Ling Wu Dao Fa"

  Xu Mo's silent knife, as if transformed into a giant python, opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Shangguan Yu. This knife technique was also taught by the True Martial School. In Xu Mo's hands, the "Lingwu Knife Technique" had greatly increased in power.

  Shangguan Yu's entire body seemed to be enveloped in a protective aura, firmly safeguarding his physique. The "Bagua Youlong Gun" had both defense and offense, its intricacies extraordinary, far surpassing the precision of ordinary spear techniques.

  The sound of "clanging" did not stop, the Dragon Gun and the Silent Knife collided incessantly. Sparks flew everywhere, and the two weapons were also suffering with the two men. It was unknown how many times they had clashed, but a gap had been beaten out on Xu Mo's Silent Knife.

  It used to seem like a cover that wrapped around Shangguan Yu. Now, as Shangguan Yu's understanding of the "Eight Trigrams Dragon Gun" deepened, that cover gradually transformed into a true dragon.

  The Dragon Gun seemed to have transformed into two real dragons, one of which was constantly attacking Xu Mo. The giant python was no match for the real dragon and was slowly repelled by it. The other dragon, however, encircled Shangguan Yu's body, protecting him from harm.

  "How is this possible?" Xu Mo looked at Mo Dao in incredulity, seeing a notch on the blade. Although it wasn't big, it was glaringly obvious. Mo Dao had been used by Xu Mo for so long without any damage, but now, after just one bout with Shangguan Yu, there was already such a large notch on the blade.

  In the void...

  "Junior brother, it seems that what we thought was true after all. You continue to look!" The Upper Palace Master pinched his white beard and spoke again.

  "Hmm, just by looking at this set of gun moves, I can tell that the thing on his body that attracts this gun is probably a skill related to this gun." Wu San Tong nodded and continued to look at Shangguan Yu.

  "Recite"

  Above the official Yu's ear, as if he heard a dragon's roar. That one true dragon was still attacking Xu Mo, forcing Xu Mo to only defend and attack less. And Xu Mo's attacks were always blocked by that defending true dragon.

  "What kind of person is this? How can he have so many strange martial arts moves? What kind of ghostly gun technique is this? Is Wu San Tong's master uncle really that formidable?" Xu Mo was getting more and more shocked, Shangguan Yu's endless stream of martial arts moves were also making Xu Mo's head ache.

  "My little junior apprentice, how are you? Can you still take your master's guidance?" Shangguan Yu said while attacking.

  Listening to Shangguan Yu's words, Xu Mo was so angry that he almost died. If his martial arts realm hadn't been suppressed, Xu Mo believed that with his Houji realm, one slap would be enough to kill Shangguan Yu.

  "Don't be so smug, next, let you see my true skills!" Xu Mo roared.
