Sword Mountain Tournament 19 Shadow Sword Spirit
Ji Shufeng sat aside with the healing stone and closed her eyes to rest.
Quan Wen is treating Mu Xi.
The other team hadn't finished their match yet, so several people gathered together to discuss the order of the next round. Cong Mo said seriously, "The next round won't be easy. The winning team gets a round to rest. The other team will definitely fight hard, and we have to win at least three rounds..."
Xi Chengming was delighted, "I'm sure I can get it."
Yoongi supported his shoulder, “I’m fine too.”
"No." Cong Mo shook his head, "I'm the only one who has no problem here."
She made the final decision, "I'll open, Xi Chengming will be second, Leng Can will be third, Ji Shufeng will be fourth, and Yin Yi will be last, but..."
She looked at them and said, "Xi Chengming, you have to give your all in this round. Quan Wen still needs treatment and can't get hurt in this round. If you can't beat Yin Yi, you must defend against him. At least you have to fight for a draw. Ji Shufeng, you are injured. Go on the court and pretend to be defeated immediately."
She looked at Leng Can and said, "Leng Can, you brought a lot of spirit stones. You can't lose again. This game must be a draw at least."
"yes!"
Several people spoke in unison. Leng Can transformed the spirit stones and dispersed them. "Yin Yi, this spirit stone can make you invisible, which is beneficial for Quan Wen's poisonous sneak attacks. This is suitable for..."
"Xi Chengming, this can increase your strength. It will be more beneficial if you can absorb the strength into your body. And this..."
"Ji Shufeng has a lot, so I won't give it to you, Xiaomo, you..."
"I don't need it." Cong Mo returned all the spirit stones he had snatched from Yin Yi to him.
The opposing realm was opened, and the results of the battle were announced. Elder Jian Yi announced the results, "The first team won four games, the second team won three games, the third team won two games, and the fourth team won one game. Each team will receive a corresponding number of spirit stone protective clothing, which will be effective until the end of the game."
Yin Yi took the four spirit stones.
"Just let the sword spirit absorb the spirit stone into its body."
Cong Mo gave the spirit stone to Leng Can, "With this, plus the necklace I gave Mu Xue, it's like having three lives."
"Cong Mo, don't you need it? What can you do for him?" Xi Chengming said with disdain.
Leng Can was still feeling a bit worried and guilty, but Xi Chengming's interruption wiped all of that away. He said arrogantly, "You're just jealous of me!"
"I…"
"Don't argue anymore. The protective spiritual energy contained in this protective suit has no effect on fireworks." Cong Mo explained calmly, "He can cut through it with one sword. It's useless. Besides, it's difficult for the opponent's sword spirit to get close to fireworks. Instead of wearing it and adding weight, it's better to protect Xiaocan."
Xi Chengming: “…”
Leng Can squinted his eyes at him, his expression smug, "You really worry about nothing..."
"You..." Xi Chengming gritted his teeth in hatred.
Elder Jian Yi continued, "Teams 1 and 2 won, while teams 3 and 4 lost. One of them will be eliminated in the next round."
"Captains, please decide the order of play."
"Do you have any objections to the order of appearance?" Yin Yi asked.
Several people shook their heads to indicate that they had no objection.
Yin Yi writes the order of the game on the center display screen.
The old man Jian Yi looked at the battle order in his hand and said, "First, please ask the third and fourth teams to fight."
This time the battle will no longer be carried out all at once, but will be divided into two times. The entire battlefield can be used to develop realms, and the battle space is larger, but correspondingly, more mental energy will be required.
The two teams sent their players onto the field and started fighting immediately. This round was an elimination match and both sides gave their all, making it very exciting.
Several people were stunned. If the fourth team had used this kind of strength to fight against them, they might not have been able to gain much advantage.
Leng Can's mouth opened wide, "No, Yin Yi, the water sword spirit you fought against in the first round was so powerful."
“I don’t know.” Yin Yi was just as surprised as him. “Maybe he was attracted by my handsome face.”
Leng Can twitched the corner of his mouth, "..."
You are so arrogant that you can't even see that you are a pig!
He walked around a few people and stood next to Cong Mo. He was still a little restrained. He leaned on the railing and looked at her with his head tilted.
"What's wrong?" Cong Mo stared at the battle on the field, analyzing their combat performance and estimating their chances of winning.
"Xiao Mo..." Leng Can gently tugged at her sleeve, "I admitted defeat in the first round. Are you... angry?"
"No." Cong Mo held his hand, lowered his head, and showed no impatience. "Xiao Can, I won't be angry with you."
Leng Can's ears turned red, and he turned his face away awkwardly, using his arms to cover his mouth, but he couldn't stop the sweetness from overflowing from his eyes. He hummed softly, "Oh..."
In the end, the fourth team won 3-2 and the third team was eliminated.
Cong Mo called a few people to form a circle. "Based on our observations from the first round, the second team played conservatively. I wonder if they'll change their strategy this round. I'll find out once I go up and give it a try."
"It doesn't matter if we lose this round, we still have a chance." Cong Mo put two fingers together between his eyebrows and drew spiritual power into his palm, showing it to them, "Let's fight one last time. I will infuse my spiritual power into you. My spiritual power is strong, and I can win the game if I give it a try."
"Please invite the first player of the first and second teams to come on stage, and the fourth team will take a short rest." The old man Jian Yi called out.
Cong Mo nodded with them, "Yan Huo and I will go."
This time she was facing the Shadow Sword Spirit, whose master was the captain of the opposing team.
"You performed exceptionally well in the competition, truly outstanding." The woman curled her lips in a malicious smile. "But it was just a trick to attract attention. If you meet me, that's the end of it. Your team is doomed to fail."
She seemed very confident in her sword spirit and did not think that Cong Mo, who had never lost a battle, was her opponent.
"I don't accept your assessment. Your sword spirit is merely rare, not invincible or without weaknesses." Cong Mo couldn't understand her inexplicable confidence and frowned. "Besides, we don't know each other. Your malicious words only mask your inner uncertainty and panic. They have no effect on me."
The woman flew into a rage, "Do you know who I am?"
"I don't know." Cong Mo shook his head, his calm eyes not stirring any waves, "But today I will make you remember who I am for the rest of your life."
After saying that, without giving the other party a chance to attack, Cong Mo took the lead in manipulating his mental power to build up his realm.
When the other party saw her movements, he immediately followed.
From the beginning of the realm, the two began a game.
The realm quickly expanded, darkness and light extended from both ends, infinitely occupying the entire battlefield, the mental power crossed and collided, and an explosion occurred when the two spaces intersected with each other.
"Bang"
Fragments of earth splashed all around, and a golden figure rushed out from the thick smoke. The shadow sword spirit was unable to react in time, and after being cut on the arm, it dived into the darkness and disappeared.
The other party looked at him with disdain, "How dare you launch a sneak attack? You are not a gentleman at all."
"It wasn't a sneak attack, I just attacked first, and..." Cong Mo used his spiritual power to blow away the thick smoke, "A sneak attack has nothing to do with being a gentleman. Only a fool would not seize the opportunity."
The thick smoke dissipated, and the figure of Fireworks was fully revealed. He was red and yellow all over, half man and half horse, holding a golden sword. His golden wings were burning with flames, and they were hot when flapping. He had a ferocious look on his face, and in the semi-darkness, he looked like a god descending to earth.
Only then did people see clearly where the boundary was located. It was mostly occupied by bushes and mosses, and seemed to be continuously extending and covering the other side.
"That's Jianshan's most powerful senior sister." The competition had just begun, and Cong Mo seemed to have the advantage, but Ji Shufeng still looked worried, "No one in Jianshan can defeat her sword spirit."
"The Shadow Sword Spirit is difficult to capture and is extremely fast. It can get into any gap. Its weakness is that it is afraid of sunlight." Yin Yi knew a lot about this.
"The realm used by Cong Mo is the sky with direct sunlight, which is completely opposite to the opponent's. The shadow sword spirit has no gap to hide on her side. He will not take a step out of the dark, otherwise he will be burned to ashes in an instant." Xi Chengming took out the glasses from the inside of his sleeve and put them on, saying seriously.
"Amo wanted to force the Shadow Sword Spirit into a corner, but the place is so small, it wouldn't be able to hide anywhere even if it wanted to," Ji Shufeng analyzed. "She and her senior sister were simultaneously using their mental power to invade the realm, which prevented her from taking care of her own Sword Spirit."
"And the attribute of fireworks is fire." Leng Can listened to their explanation and felt that he had become much smarter. "Fire is light."
"Cong Mo will definitely win!" Yin Yi suddenly became confident. "Her mental strength is too strong. The opponent can't defeat her, and it won't be a quick victory. In the end, it will be torture."
"She's just good at talking big." Leng Can shrugged. "If she talks to Xiaomo nicely, Xiaomo will give her 20% and hold back."
Mental power is not like spiritual power. It can be enhanced in many ways, such as external nourishment, absorption of spiritual stones, etc. Mental power is mostly determined by innate foundation, and is stabilized in the later stage through continuous practice and breakthrough of cultivation.
Generally speaking, anyone who can climb the Immortal Mountain has the most basic mental strength to establish a realm. However, it is difficult to improve further and use mental strength to fight or invade the other party. It is also very harmful to one's own foundation. At the very least, it will damage one's internal strength, and at the worst, it will cause dementia and stupidity.
Cong Mo obviously didn't have this worry. She slowed down the speed of her realm infection, as if she didn't want to end the battle too quickly. She said to Yanhuo, "Yanhuo, hold back."
The shadow sword spirit shuttled through the darkness and was invisible, leaving no trace, but...
Yanhuo raised his head. The luminous protective suit on his body really hurt him badly.
Fire burned in his palms, he gripped the hilt tightly, and pulled the sword in his hand across a layer of flames.
Yanhuo raised his other empty hand, and a brilliant dagger appeared in the palm of his hand and shot out in the direction he was aiming.
As he thought, he heard a muffled groan, and in a flash, the sword in his hand chopped down.
With another "bang", the shattered spirit stone fell to the ground. It was the protective clothing given by the old man Jian Yi. Immediately afterwards, the shadow sword spirit flew out and had no time to dodge, revealing its true form.
Yan Huo raised his sword to his head, "The spirit stone is within you, glowing brightly."
The Shadow Sword Spirit sneered, sharing the same arrogant expression as her master. "So? Now that the Spirit Stone is broken, you naturally won't be able to see me anymore."
The fireworks did not reflect the meaning of his words, and the shadow sword spirit disappeared, as if it had evaporated.
