Chapter 71: Ominous Signs of a Breakthrough

  Everyone's expression was different, Xu Mo's three junior brothers naturally had a smug face, while Qin Shou's three people's faces were not looking good. Shangguan Yu's current situation is precarious, and Xu Mo's offensive is getting more and more fierce.

  Xu Mo's three junior brothers didn't say a word, but from their expressions, it could be seen that they weren't unwilling to speak, but rather, they were too proud to bother speaking. In their eyes, they and Shangguan Yu's group weren't even on the same level, so there was nothing worth saying.

  As for Xu Mo's three junior brothers' reactions, Qin Shou naturally wouldn't mind. His expression didn't look good, only because of the current dangerous situation that Shangguan Yu was in. Shangguan Yu's right shoulder was already covered in blood, and it was clear to see that his movements were slightly uncoordinated.

  Xu Mo seemed to have regained his confidence and grasped the rhythm of the battle. The previous battles had already made him lose face, if he continued like that, Xu Mo would really lose the courage to fight on.

  Now, Shangguan Yu could only passively defend himself, as the two swimming dragons had already surrounded him. The movements of the two swimming dragons became slower and slower, their silhouettes becoming increasingly vague and illusory, as if they would disperse with the wind at any moment.

  Shangguan Yu listened to Xu Mo's words without refuting anything, and in the current situation, he had no reason to refute anything. He just coldly smiled, his hands tightly grasping the You Long spear. Their battle was still ongoing, and it was unclear who would emerge victorious.

  In the void.

  "Junior brother, it seems your disciple is in a bad situation." The head of the Upper Palace pointed to the virtual fighting platform. "His opponent is after all a Hou Ji Jing warrior, and his understanding of martial arts is definitely not something your disciple can compare with!"

  "My disciple hasn't lost yet, it's not certain who will win or lose until the end." Wu San Tong pulled his white beard and said with difficulty, "I believe in my disciple, he definitely won't disappoint me!"

  Shangguan Zhongmen naturally also saw Wu Santong's concern, judging from the current situation, Shangguan Yu won't be able to hold on for much longer. Shangguan Zhongmen's pupils slightly contracted, Shangguan Yu's movements became more and more normal, and gradually, there was no sign of injury at all.

  This is not the key, Shangguan Zhongmen discovered that Shangguan Yu's strength in his hand was getting bigger and bigger. Moreover, the yuanqi flowing on Shangguan Yu's gun handle was getting more and more, and his shooting technique was also getting more and more exquisite.

  "Junior brother, it's possible your disciple won't lose." Upper Guardian Palm Door said.

  Wu San Tong also naturally noticed Shangguan Yu's transformation, and his face was filled with joy. Shangguan Yu was his disciple, and winning not only gave him prestige but would also highlight this disciple's natural talent.

  Fighting on an empty stage.

  "What's wrong, aren't you always yelling at me to guide you, my junior? Looking at the situation now, it seems like you don't even have the qualifications!" Xu Mo's silent knife continued to attack Ouyang Yu's vital points without stopping, and his mouth was also not idle.

  "With your current abilities, you still want to be my senior? I'm not even using a tenth of my strength and yet you can't defeat me. If it were my full strength, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to withstand a single move!"

  Xu Mo continued to attack Shangguan Yu, not for anything else, but to resolve the hatred from before. And Shangguan Yu still didn't say anything, the wound on his shoulder had long since stopped being a problem. He just pretended to be injured in order to confuse Xu Mo.

  After the first three rounds of tempering, his physical body had become very strong, and his recovery ability was even more abnormal. Xu Mo's silent knife cut into his shoulder, the wound was not deep, but if it were on an ordinary person, it would definitely not heal so quickly.

  Shangguan Yu wasn't without the strength to continue fighting, but rather he felt that the yuanqi within him had finally accumulated to a certain degree. His body was like a bottomless pit, able to accommodate any amount of yuanqi. And this time, taking advantage of this battle, Shangguan Yu saw an opportunity for a breakthrough.

  A warrior's body is like a container. When a warrior's body is filled with yuanqi, it means that the warrior has broken through to the realm of man. And the yuanqi in Shangguan Yu's body had long been able to fill his body, of course, compared to ordinary warriors.

  Through this battle, Shangguan Yu discovered that when he was in a dangerous situation, the yuanqi inside his body seemed to automatically protect him. Normally, those yuanqi didn't help him break through, but when he was in danger, these yuanqi seemed to understand the situation as well.

  Shangguan Yu pretended to be no match for Xu Mo, and in order to make it look more realistic, he didn't mind taking a little risk. This not only deceived the crowd but also deceived Xu Mo. And Yuan Qi seemed to have low intelligence, so it was easy for Shangguan Yu to deceive him.

  Shangguan Yu discovered that the primordial energy within his body was filling up his torso in an organized manner. Threads of primordial energy seeped into his flesh and blood, threads of primordial energy opened up the meridians in his torso, and threads of primordial energy merged with his fresh blood.

  These primordial energies are like generals, with many soldiers under their command. Normally these energies roam the heavens and earth, but when they issue orders, they all gather in the body of Yu Fang.

  The heaven and earth yuanqi around Shangguan Yu all surged into his body, but Xu Mo, who was suppressed to the Tianbing realm, did not perceive the unusual fluctuations of the heaven and earth yuanqi. The yuanqi in Shangguan Yu's body became more and more abundant, and it seemed that he was about to break through. Finally, Shangguan Yu launched an attack.

  The crowd under the virtual fighting platform was immersed in the duel between the two, and those exquisite martial arts made everyone's eyes dazzled. And seeing that Xu Mo was about to win, they didn't feel anything unexpected.

  Xu Mo was originally a martial artist of the Hou Ji border, even if he was suppressed to the Tian Bing border, he would definitely not be comparable to the martial artists of the Tian Bing border. If Shang Guan's Palm Door was suppressed to the Tian Bing border, he might still be able to kill hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of Tian Bing border martial artists with just a raise of his hand.

  No one had expected that at this moment, Shangguan Yu suddenly changed his defensive stance and counterattacked Xu Mo. In the eyes of the onlookers, Shangguan Yu was already in a desperate situation, so he might as well lose with dignity.

  "My young junior, it's not about whether I'm qualified to be your senior uncle, but whether you're qualified to be my junior!" Shangguan Yu finally spoke up, and as soon as he did, Xu Mo was left gasping for breath.

  "Bagua Swimming Dragon Gun!"

  The two swimming dragons on Shangguan Yu's body were becoming more and more substantial. It was clear that they were a black dragon and a white dragon. The black dragon was the attacking dragon, while the white dragon was the defensive dragon.

  Previously, it was only vaguely visible that there were two dragons, and the color could not be seen. But at this time, the colors of the two dragons can be seen. From here, it can be seen that Shangguan Yu's use of "Bagua Youlong Gun" has become more mature.

  But the two dragons, one black and one white, that were coiled around Shangguan Yu's body suddenly came to life and detached themselves from him. This time, Shangguan Yu did not defend himself, and both dragons ferociously attacked Xu Mo.

  Shangguan Yu's every move, not only became more powerful, but also more exquisite. The previous "Bagua Youlong Gun", Xu Mo could see some flaws. But now Shangguan Yu uses it, the flaws are becoming less and less.

  Of course, this is only in Xu Mo's view. His martial arts cultivation was only at the Hou Ji boundary. If it were in Wu San Tong's eyes, Shangguan Yu's "Bagua You Long Gun" would be full of flaws.

  Attack is indeed the best defense, previously Shangguan Yu had been defending but couldn't withstand Xu Mo's silent knife. Shangguan Yu's body had already been slashed three times by Xu Mo, fortunately Shangguan Yu reacted quickly or it wouldn't have just been a scratch on the surface.

  Now, Shangguan Yu's black and white twin dragons were ferociously attacking Xu Mo, and Xu Mo's silent knife couldn't even touch Shangguan Yu's body. Spears are long-range weapons after all, at a disadvantage in close combat, but once the distance is opened up, spears become more deadly than swords.

  Shangguan Yu continuously thrust his long spear at Xu Mo, usually practicing his aim on scattered leaves, and in terms of accuracy, Shangguan Yu was naturally not inferior. Just now, Xu Mo wanted to cripple him, and Shangguan Yu's heart understood this. Since that's the case, then Shangguan Yu naturally didn't need to be polite either.

  Shangguan Yu understood that now was a good opportunity. The current Xu Mo was only a Tianbing realm warrior, and if he left the Void Fighting Stage, Xu Mo would once again become a Houji realm warrior. At that time, Shangguan Yu would definitely not be Xu Mo's opponent. To say something unpleasant, it would be easy for Houji realm Xu Mo to kill Shangguan Yu.

  One black and one white, the two dragons attacked with all their might. The two dragons carved on the hilt of the dragon gun seemed to have flown out from the hilt. It just so happened that they turned into one black and one white dragon, looking so illusory.

  The clash of the sword and spear continued, with the sound of metal ringing in their ears. The two were like needle tips facing a grindstone, neither giving an inch to the other. Shangguan Yu's "Eight Trigrams Dragon Spear" was formidable, but after all, he had only learned it for a short time. As for Xumu's cultivation of the "Lingwu Knife Method", it was clear that he had been practicing for many years.

  Since the Zhenwu Men dared to name it after Zhenwu, the martial arts within it cannot be inferior. And as the martial art of the inner disciples, "Lingwu Knife Method" naturally cannot be inferior either. It's just that the imperial family is after all the imperial family, and casually taking out a martial art won't be weaker than "Lingwu Knife Method".

  "Recite"

  Everyone seemed to have heard the dragon's roar, and Shangguan Yu's attack became even more fierce. The black and white dragons seemed to have turned into real dragons, flying in the sky, swinging their tails, fighting on the ground, attacking Xu Mo one move at a time.

  The scars on Xu Mo's body were getting more and more, and Xu Mo was also gradually unable to hold on.

  "Rustle"

  Xu Mo's clothes were slashed by Shangguan Yu, leaving a series of cuts, and Shangguan Yu's long spear also stabbed Xu Mo's left arm and thigh respectively. Even if Xu Mo used the "Recovery Technique", he wouldn't be able to recover in a short period of time.

  Shangguan Yu's long spear tightened, the spearhead pressed against Xu Mo's knife body. Shangguan Yu's spear was originally intended to attack Xu Mo's chest, but unfortunately, it was blocked by Xu Mo's silent knife at a critical moment.

  "Bastard, are you trying to kill me?" Xu Mo cursed angrily.
