On the boxing ring, Yoshio Mochizuki launched the first attack.
"Hey!"
A blur of motion instantly lunged at Li Mu, and before Li Mu could react, it shifted its position three times in mid-air.
If two equally matched martial artists encounter this kind of ninja, they would probably be at a disadvantage in this round. For example, someone who called himself Lu Tixia suffered this loss last time.
However, he encountered Li Mu. In Li Mu's divine sense, no matter how many changes Mochizuki Yoshio made, it was as if he was actually moving around in front of him.
Mochizuki Yoshio drew his sword in mid-air, followed by three clanging sounds of close combat.
Wang Yue was startled. This young man had actually caught her three consecutive attacks. She had really underestimated him.
While it's true that he used ninjutsu, this "Three Deadly Slashes" technique is not something anyone can easily withstand.
However, he had only used 50% of his strength, and he didn't think the young man could withstand the rest of the moves.
"Fellow Daoist, your skill is excellent. Wangyue underestimated you. Let's see this Swift Strike Technique again." As Wangyue spoke, he had already launched his second move.
Yoshio Mochizuki previously employed a strategy of adapting to changing circumstances and employing feints to attack from different directions.
This move utilizes the speed of ninjutsu for a lightning strike, and he used 70% of his power; he didn't believe Li Mu could dodge it.
"Clang!..." Five more sounds of close combat rang out, startling Wang Yue once again.
This young man is really surprising; he actually caught my attack again. It seems I can no longer hold back.
.
Li Mu was fine with catching the previous three consecutive attacks, but now he was finding it a bit difficult to catch the five lightning strikes.
He believed that Mochizuki Yoshio was holding back, and of course he hadn't used his full strength either. This was the strongest opponent he had encountered since his transmigration, and he wanted to test his abilities.
"boom!"
A wisp of smoke rose, and then Li Mu briefly lost sight of Mochizuki Yoshio; he had vanished. What kind of illusion was this?
After the initial shock, Li Mu immediately sensed a deadly danger behind him. He quickly moved forward two body lengths while remaining invisible, and then moved to the side one body length.
As expected, Li Mu's impromptu decision was correct. Just as he moved to the side, Wang Yue's long sword struck the spot where he had moved forward.
Li Mu also made a move, sweeping his sword horizontally. With another "clang!", this strike was blocked by Mochizuki Yoshio.
The two retreated simultaneously, both feeling they had met their match. Li Mu also gained a general understanding of Mochizuki Yoshio's strength.
If we combine wind blades and fireballs with divine sense, we can probably take him down very quickly.
Mochizuki Yoshio was also somewhat wary; this Li Mu was actually able to evade his Fire Concealment Technique, he was truly a prodigy.
However, even so, I haven't exhausted all my methods yet, and victory will surely belong to me.
Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back. The two then exchanged dozens more blows on the stage, making the seasoned Lu Tixia's eyelids twitch.
So it turns out that Mochizuki didn't go all out last time. I thought I had figured out those moves and was ready to fight again, but now it seems that I still can't beat him.
More and more people gathered below the boxing ring. Such a simple sparring match turned into a fierce battle with sparks flying everywhere. Both fighters used all their moves, but neither could defeat the other.
Li Mu finally came up with a dirty trick: since he couldn't reveal too much and couldn't take down the person, he would take down the person's knife.
As Li Mu began fighting, he used his divine sense to search for the weaknesses of his opponent's two swords. Even if one used immortal techniques to forge weapons, it would be impossible to forge them perfectly, let alone with modern forging methods.
Before long, he actually found the weakness in the opponent's knife.
.
Li Mu made another move, aiming directly at the two knives in his opponent's hand. He also infused his short knife with spiritual power, otherwise he wouldn't be able to cut through the opponent's knives.
Even after the initial clash, Mochizuki still wondered if Li Mu had made a mistake.
To actually use the short sword in his hand to clash head-on with his own sword is like an egg hitting a rock. Although both were forged by himself, the best work is in his own hands.
However, before he could finish his doubts, he felt a lightness in his hands, and his two knives had broken.
"Clang! Clang!" Two sounds followed.
Then, a series of metallic "ping" sounds were heard as the fighting stopped.
Li Mu looked at the stunned Mochizuki Yoshio, without any intention of showing off.
Although this person was Japanese, he was a man of martial virtue and had no intention of killing me.
Therefore, Li Mu was lenient and didn't even want to say "you lost." Of course, he had to get his hands on the Fire Crystal.
Seeing that Li Mu had actually defeated Mochizuki Yoshio, Lu Tixia covered his face and ran away, too ashamed to face anyone.
He said he would go up and help Li Mu get revenge, but now he probably can't even beat Wang Yue. If he doesn't leave, is he just waiting to be humiliated?
Somewhat dejected, Mochizuki Yoshio picked up the broken sword from the ground and bowed deeply to Li Mu: "Li-san, Mochizuki has learned a lot."
Upon hearing Mochizuki Yoshio concede defeat, Li Mu casually tossed the short sword in his hand, and it landed accurately on the sword holder.
Afterwards, Li Mu obtained the Fire Melting Crystal, but feeling somewhat reluctant, he promised to give him a bottle of pills.
However, if Mochizuki Yoshio were to come to his stall to collect it, it would only be done before that afternoon; after that, it would be closed. As for whether he had the nerve to go and collect it, that was none of his business.
It was really hard to get the Fire Crystal. We had to fight it out, but we couldn't kill anyone. It was a tough situation.
.
After running a distance with his face covered, Lu Xiayi arrived at Cihangzhai's stall.
Upon seeing two bottles of pills on the stall, he wondered, "What's going on? Does Cihangzhai actually know how to make pills?"
"Xiao Jingxin, how much does this medicine cost?" Lu Xiaoyi asked as he opened the medicine bottle and poured out a pill into his hand.
Upon seeing it, I was almost furious.
"Isn't this candy?" He knew Cihangzhai couldn't make any pills. He casually slapped the pill in his hand into his mouth.
“Uncle Lu, this pill cannot be eaten. No, this pill does not belong to us and cannot be eaten casually.”
Jingxin was getting anxious and didn't know what to say. This senior uncle was too much. He ate it without even asking. It would be hard to explain to Li Mu.
"What's wrong with eating this? Isn't this candy made by your Cihangzhai? I'll just buy it for whatever price you ask."
As he spoke, Lu Xiayi threw two more into his mouth, and ended up eating three at once.
Jingru couldn't stand it anymore and quickly said, "Uncle Lu, this pill is being sold on behalf of someone else, and we don't know the price yet."
Lu Xiayi was about to say, "We've already eaten it, and it didn't even taste very good. It had a bitter aftertaste. Now, who cares how much it costs? Just pay up."
However, before he could even speak, a surge of heat rose within him.
"Huh! This really is a pill?"
After Lu Xiaoyi finished speaking, he sat down on the ground and began to practice his technique. The heat was quickly carried into his meridians, accelerating the circulation of Qi.
Since breaking through to the Earth Realm, his cultivation had not progressed at all for many years, but he did not expect that it would loosen up now.
Li Mu was in an extremely good mood. When he strolled back to his stall, he saw the guy who had called himself Lu Tixia sitting on the open ground in front of his stall practicing his skills. It was very strange.
