Drag to Death

Chapter 358: Drag to Death

In a life-and-death battle, what affects combat effectiveness is not only cultivation, supernatural powers, and techniques, but also psychology and wisdom.

Qin Mu has a deep understanding of this.

There are many masters in Taoism who, when facing a life-and-death battle, often meditate, burn incense and bathe before the battle. Some even enter a state of meditation for three days, eliminating all distracting thoughts from their minds and not letting any thoughts interfere with their fighting wisdom, allowing their wisdom to be perfect.

Although Xu Shenghua claims that he has defeated everyone in the universe and has no rivals in the same realm, the duels in the universe are often not life-and-death duels.

He has very little experience in this area, and can even be said to be a complete blank slate. And although the lower world is "dirty" to him, all kinds of life-and-death battles emerge one after another. No matter whether it is high-ranking figures like Taoist Master Lin Xuan and Bangong Co, or young masters like Ling Yuxiu, Si Yunxiang, and Shen Wanyun, or well-known existences like National Master Yankang and Emperor Yanfeng, they all stand out in the test of life and death.

In terms of battle wisdom, they far surpass Xu Shenghua.

If it were Qin Mu, he would not check the structure and formation texture of the parts and components of the Sun-Shooting Cannon before the life-and-death battle, because that would consume too much of his brain power.

Qin Mu designed and forged the Sun-Shooting Cannon and invited hundreds of masters of numerology, as well as various experts and talents in refining treasures. He almost redesigned the factory. He gathered the wisdom of these people to create the Sun-Shooting Cannon. Xu Shenghua wanted to explore the secret of the Sun-Shooting Cannon, so he needed to memorize their wisdom in a short period of time. One can imagine how much brain power this would consume.

The loss of brain power will inevitably lead to a loss of strength, and the speed of response in battle will be slowed down.

For a master like Qin Mu, even if Xu Shenghua's reaction speed is a bit slower, it is enough to decide the outcome!

Xu Shenghua checked the texture structures on these parts one by one in the factory, and calculated the shape and power of the Sun-Shooting Cannon. There were tens of thousands of these parts, and the array patterns and runes on each part were different. The array textures used were different, and if there was no order, he would need to use his powerful brain power to deduce the combination, which would consume even more brain power.

Suddenly, he felt a little dizzy, woke up abruptly, and quickly closed his eyes. After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu smiled and nodded.

Qin Mu smiled brightly, like a big boy without any scheming, but in his eyes, this bright and sunny smile seemed extremely evil.

"Thank you, Brother Qin. I learned a trick."

Xu Shenghua calmed himself down and walked over. As he walked, he tried his best to forget the array runes he had just memorized. Although this was only a last-ditch effort, it was still better than doing nothing.

Qin Mu smiled slightly, walked out of the factory, and said leisurely: "Brother Xu, do you still think it's good to stay in Shangcang?"

Xu Shenghua shook his head: "It is indeed difficult for me to grow up in the heaven without experiencing real battles. The turbid world is the place for people to grow. Brother Qin grew up in this turbid world and is truly the strongest and most terrifying opponent I have ever met."

The two walked side by side onto Tujiang River.

Behind them, four girls, Hu Ling'er, Ling Yuxiu, Yuliu and Jingyan, followed and stepped onto the surface of Tujiang River.

At this time, many Taoists walked out of the factory, led by Taoist Master Lin Xuan, who followed them closely and came to the river.

Taoist Master Lin Xuan had a strange look in his eyes. He ignored the four girls and fixed his gaze on Qin Mu and Xu Shenghua who were walking on the river.

"Master, these two young men are very strong!"

An old Taoist whispered, "Master Qin is fine, his methods are profound, but who is the other young man?"

"The Heavenly God created flowers. I met him when I was a guest in Xiaoyujing with my master."

Daoist Master Lin Xuan's eyes flickered: "He defeated me in five moves."

Many Taoist priests from various sects were greatly shocked. Even Qin Mu didn't dare to say that he could defeat Taoist Lin Xuan in just five moves. Over the years, Taoist Lin Xuan has followed the old Taoist master in practicing, and his attainments in numerology have become increasingly profound, and his comprehension of Taoist swords has become increasingly profound.

His strength is in no way inferior to that of the old Taoist master, and he may even surpass it!

Taoist Master Lin Xuan walked forward with the Taoists without stopping, and said softly: "His skills and magical powers become stronger when he encounters a stronger opponent. The stronger the opponent, the more powerful his magical powers and skills can be. He defeated many people in Xiaoyujing. I really want to know if there is anyone who can take on his magical powers, if there is anyone who can force him to break through the limits of his skills and magical powers and make him unbreakable!"

"The Human Emperor might be such a person." His fighting spirit suddenly became strong, but he controlled himself and did not interfere with the two of them.

The river flows like a stream, and time passes by like an arrow.

Qin Mu and Xu Shenghua did not stop and continued walking forward. They soon reached the other side of the river without stopping.

"He's giving me a chance to rest."

Xu Shenghua learned another trick, and his heart was slightly shocked: "He brought me to the factory to supervise the factory, so that I would lose my brain power and he could gain the upper hand. Now he gave me a chance to rest, which shows that he doesn't care whether my brain power is lost or not, because he always has the upper hand! Just now he wasted my brain power, and now he is putting pressure on me on the mental level, making me think that I am weaker than him in my heart!"

Although he understood Qin Mu's thoughts, he was now trapped in Qin Mu's trap and couldn't escape.

From the moment Qin Mu met him again and drank in Tingyu Pavilion in Huaxiang, the battle had already begun!

From then on, he entered Qin Mu's rhythm. Now, Qin Mu's momentum was already established. If the two of them fought, one could imagine how domineering and exhilarating Qin Mu's attack would be!

"The Tyrant Body is indeed extraordinary."

Xu Shenghua calmed down, his eyes flashing: "But I also have a domineering body! As a domineering body, I will not be weaker than him!"

The footsteps of the two people gradually became one after the other. Qin Mu took a step and Xu Shenghua followed. Xu Shenghua was like his shadow, giving people a strange feeling.

The four girls following behind them saw this scene. One of the two big boys was walking in front, exposing his back to the people behind him, while the young man behind him followed closely and did not take the opportunity to kill him. Instead, he seemed to be tied by a rope and followed the person in front involuntarily.

"Young Master is at a disadvantage!"

Yuliu and Jingyan were slightly shocked. It was the first time for them to see Xu Shenghua fall into a disadvantage before they even started fighting.

In the universe, Xushenghua was so stunningly beautiful that it shocked all the gods in the universe and was regarded as the most talented person in the past five hundred years.

And the Xushenghua in the lower world really lives up to its reputation.

He avoided the battle at Pangong Tso in the Golden Palace and did not fight at the Great Leiyin Temple. He challenged Lin Xuan Daozi in Xiaoyujing, defeated the masters of Xiaoyujing, challenged the Sanyuan Hall and Wuqi Hall, and passed the level smoothly.

Now, Xu Shenghua has finally met his most terrifying opponent!

Qin Mu walked over a hundred miles with Xu Shenghua and was somewhat shocked. Until now, Xu Shenghua's steps were still steady and there was not a single flaw on his body!

This is almost impossible to do. Even Pangong Tso, an old monster that has lived for ten thousand years, cannot walk steadily!

Pangong Co is proficient in the skills and magical powers of the Great Leiyin Temple, Taoism, Xiaoyujing and the Tianmo Sect. If he is surpassed by Qin Mu and is led by Qin Mu, he will stagger from side to side after walking ten miles and will have to change his body shape as much as possible to ensure that he does not reveal any flaws.

At the distance of twenty miles, Pangong Tso will reveal its weakness and it will be difficult for it to make any changes. At the distance of twenty-one miles, Pangong Tso must take the initiative to attack Qin Mu and try to seize the initiative, otherwise he will surely die!

If Pangong Tso continued to follow Qin Mu's footsteps without taking any action, he would die in twenty-four miles and would definitely be killed by Qin Mu in one blow!

However, Xu Shenghua always kept up with Qin Mu's footsteps. Although he was led by Qin Mu, his steps and movements were steady and impeccable!

From Tujiang to here, more than a hundred miles, he did not reveal any flaws!

"Wang Muran said that his skills and abilities are very strange. The stronger the opponent, the faster he will be defeated! His abilities are all created on the spot during the battle. This kind of skills must be extremely advanced. Once you start using it, you will surpass the art and enter the level of law!"

Qin Mu became more and more excited. He continued to walk forward without looking back, and his speed was getting faster and faster!

Xu Shenghua's technique was very magical, and it allowed him to directly skip the art and enter the level of creating magical powers. This was the first time he had encountered such a magical technique.

He wanted to test the limits of this technique and see how it compares to the Tyrant Body Three Dan Technique!

His steps became faster and faster, and his momentum became stronger and stronger. He almost flew forward like lightning, but his steps still seemed calm, without any sense of haste.

Xu Shenghua was led by him to follow his footsteps, and his steps were still steady and not at all messy.

The speed of the two men was getting faster and faster. Suddenly, Xu Shenghua's face turned pale, and then became paler and paler. He was led by Qin Mu to run for more than a hundred miles. He could no longer bear it and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

Qin Mu did not stop, Xu Shenghua followed him and ran forward, spitting out blood again.

He was running and spitting out blood, but he still didn't reveal any flaws. However, if he kept spitting out blood like this, sooner or later all the blood in his body would be vomited out and he would die!

From beginning to end, Qin Mu never attacked him, and he was the one who got hurt.

Qin Mu walked forward, which was actually a duel between the two of them in terms of momentum, body movements and magical powers. Although it seemed that there was no danger, the decisive battle had already begun and there was no room for error.

His skills and supernatural powers rely on on-the-spot response and creativity, and require extremely high brainpower.

He had consumed a lot of brain power in the factory. Although Qin Mu gave him a chance to rest and calm down, it was not so easy to replenish the brain power he had lost.

He was now exhausted to the point of vomiting blood. If he continued, his brain power would be depleted too much. Qin Mu would drag him to death without even having to do anything!

If he kept going, his brain power would inevitably be exhausted.

Xu Shenghua's hair began to turn gray, and the black hair turned into strands of white hair. He kept up with Qin Mu's pace while coughing up blood. His brain power loss had already affected his body. It wouldn't be long before he would tire himself to death!

Suddenly, Qin Mu stopped walking and said with a smile: "If I kill you like this, you will definitely not accept it, and I will not be too satisfied. Brother Xu, you should take good care of your injuries and replenish your vitality. We will fight to the death next time."

Xu Shenghua stopped, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but suddenly fell to the ground with a thud and fainted.

"He is a respectable and terrifying opponent." Qin Mu praised, left the unconscious Xu Shenghua there, and turned away.

The corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he quickly swallowed the blood that surged up his throat. He was almost exhausted to death, but he almost couldn't hold on. However, the villagers said that it is better to lose the battle than to lose the battle, and you must never show your weakness.
