Chapter 893 Big Lie (1/2)
In a flash, the situation changed.
Thousands of cultivators in the audience were all stunned with their mouths wide open.
It all happened too fast.
It was too sudden.
It was so fast that people couldn't react and were at a loss.
It was so sudden that people didn't understand and couldn't accept it.
How could Lin Mu still be alive?
How could he suddenly appear and kill Liao Shu with one sword?
How did he survive the bombardment of the Five Yin Thunder Beads that Liao Shu had tempered for tens of thousands of years?
How did he hide his body in the public eye?
Thousands of questions suddenly surged into the minds of all the onlookers.
The white-clothed elder standing in the air outside the ancient forbidden area had an unbelievable look in his eyes.
He was just about to open the ancient forbidden area and announce Liao Shu's victory, when suddenly, Lin Mu appeared and killed Liao Shu with one sword.
After all this was over, he hadn't opened the ancient forbidden area yet!
It was almost to this point!
Liao Shu simply had no power to resist and let Lin Mu slaughter him.
What he regretted most was that even though the distance was so close and separated by the ancient ban, he still didn't know how Lin Mu did all this!
There were too many puzzles and too many incredible places.
The spiritual power flashed, and the elder in white waved his hands quickly, and the spells kept flying out.
Lin Mu glanced at the elder in white, a smile appeared on his face, and then he walked forward calmly and picked up Liao Shu's storage bag and flying sword, as well as the eleven black beads scattered on the battle stage.
The smile on his face remained, but Lin Mu's heart was turbulent.
He was very familiar with this black bead.
Just now, he had already gained the upper hand and was about to win, but Liao Shu suddenly used such a black bead. In a hurry, he was completely helpless and had to use his trump card.
Unexpectedly, Liao Shu actually had twelve such powerful black beads!
Fortunately, only one was detonated just now. If twelve were detonated at the same time, it would be unpredictable whether one would die or not.
Lin Mu could not help but feel a lingering fear.
Picking up one of the black beads and using his spiritual sense to explore it, Lin Mu clearly felt the powerful fluctuations coming from the black bead, which was beyond imagination.
It really deserves to be a thunder power treasure, domineering and unparalleled!
These eleven black beads are Liao Shu's life-saving trump card, which can be used to deal with late-stage fusion cultivators.
Lin Mu was secretly happy.
With these eleven black beads, he will have a greater chance of winning the next competition.
For Liao Shu, these eleven black beads are life-saving trump cards, which are extremely rare, but for him, these are eleven powerful treasures that can be used immediately.
He does not need these eleven black beads as trump cards.
He has his own life-saving trump card.
Without time to check how many treasures and spiritual stones were in Liao Shu's storage bag, the elder in white opened the ancient ban.
Lin Mu calmly put away the storage bag, flying sword and eleven black beads, and saluted the elder in white with a smile.
"This time, Lin Mu wins!" The elder in white looked at Lin Mu with a complicated expression, and immediately announced the result of the competition.
As soon as the result of the competition was announced, Lin Mu heard the discussion of thousands of cultivators in the audience.
It was noisy, like a tide, one wave after another.
Admiration, surprise, doubt, one after another.
Lin Mu flew towards Gu Zhenhao with a faint smile on his face.
Gu Zhenhao was extremely excited and had already come to meet him, smiling and almost crying.
He hadn't felt this way for a long time.
Lin Mu once again made him regain his former passion and frivolity.
Just now, when Lin Mu disappeared from the battle stage, the eyes and discussions of the people around him made him feel as if he had fallen into the abyss and could never turn over again.
At this moment, Lin Mu flew down from the battle stage, and he felt as if he was like a dragon, soaring above the nine heavens.
Seeing the expressions of disbelief, amazement, and regret on the faces of the cultivators who were betting with him, he felt extremely happy.
The most refreshing thing is that the 2 billion spiritual stones that the cultivators had sent to him before now belong to him!
Although he was worried, nervous, and even desperate several times during this process, he would rather have such excitement 10,000 times more to earn 2 billion spiritual stones in such a short time.
"Defeat Liao Shu and enter the fifth round. You have created a miracle again!" Gu Zhenhao came to Lin Mu with a smile on his face and congratulated him, "The whole Jinxiu world is deeply shocked by you!"
"This time it was pure luck." Lin Mu smiled and did not transmit his voice.
He knew very well that killing a powerful mid-stage fusion cultivator like Liao Shu with one sword would cause a shock and sensation. If there was no convincing explanation, who knows how many people would covet it and cause trouble.
In any case, he could not expose the Xuanyue Pei.
Therefore, he had to find a way to conceal the existence of the Xuanyue Pei.
In the ancient forbidden area, the cultivators outside, including the elders in white, could not detect anything on the battle stage, which gave him room to play freely.
Who can't lie?
Lin Mu whispered to Gu Zhenhao about this idea.
"How did you do it?" Gu Zhenhao had a tacit understanding with him and couldn't help asking loudly, "Liao Shu used his powerful trump card, the Five Yin Thunder Pearl that had been tempered for tens of thousands of years. In such a small range, it was impossible for you to dodge. How did you stay safe and sound?"
The surrounding cultivators all gathered around at this time.
The cultivators in the distance also urged their spiritual senses to detect.
The cultivators who participated in the bet and lost were desperately pushing forward.
They wanted to know the truth more than the thousands of onlookers.
Even if they died, they had to be clear ghosts.
"I didn't hide at all." Lin Mu said lightly with a smile on his face.
As soon as this was said, everyone was in an uproar.
"How is it possible?"
"He didn't dodge?"
"I just heard from two fusion stage cultivators that the explosive power of Liao Shu's Five Yin Lightning Beads is so strong that even fusion stage cultivators can't withstand it."
"This is just like bragging."
"Too unbelievable?"
Gu Zhenhao was also very excited, and then asked: "Did you resist the bombardment of the Five Yin Lightning Beads head-on?"
"Why not?" Lin Mu asked back with a smile.
Gu Zhenhao swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "Don't you know that Liao Shu's Five Yin Lightning Beads are difficult for even fusion stage cultivators to resist?"
"Of course I know." Lin Mu nodded and smiled, "But you all misunderstood. Although the incident happened suddenly, the situation was not as critical as you imagined."
Lin Mu paused when he thought of this.
He had to think carefully about how to make up for this lie next.
He was not deceiving a certain person.
He was deceiving the thousands of top cultivators in the entire Jinxiu world.
Any small mistake or loophole would arouse people's suspicion.
His palms were slightly sweaty, and Lin Mu kept a faint smile on his face, but he was nervous.
He felt that this was many times more difficult than killing Liao Shu.
"How did you do it?" Seeing Lin Mu pause, a Return to Void cultivator couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell us about the situation at that time?"
The cultivators around him were also curious, and couldn't help but echoed, "Just tell us."
"What happened?"
"How did you stay unscathed?"
A series of questions made Lin Mu even more nervous.
This time, if he didn't show some real materials, it would be difficult to get away with it.
"To be honest, my swordsmanship has reached the late stage of the sword domain." Lin Mu said generously, "So in the competition with Liao Shu, I completely suppressed him. I believe you can see it under the opposite platform."
Late stage of the sword domain!
As soon as these words came out, many cultivators took a breath of cold air.
Looking at Lin Mu, his eyes were full of shock and amazement.
With the cultivation level of the middle stage of Return to Void, his sword attainment has reached the late stage of Sword Domain. This is something that even the peak cultivators of the Fusion Stage can hardly do!
Too amazing!
"Under the suppression of my Sword Domain, the explosive power of Liao Shu's Five Yin Lightning Beads is not as strong as you think. Of course, it should not be underestimated!" Lin Mu showed a lingering fear, and then said, "Fortunately, I was quick-witted at the time and made an excellent response."
"How did you deal with it?" A Fusion Stage cultivator came forward and asked.
"I tried my best to activate the Sword Domain to suppress the explosive power of the Five Yin Lightning Beads. At the same time, I immediately performed teleportation and teleported to the center of the Five Yin Lightning Beads explosion!" Lin Mu smiled mysteriously.
The center of the Five Yin Lightning Beads explosion?
All the cultivators were puzzled.
"Isn't the center of the Five Yin Lightning Beads explosion the strongest?" A Return to Void Stage cultivator asked puzzledly.
"You are wrong." Lin Mu said with a smile, "No matter how powerful the Five Yin Lightning Bead is, it is still a bead after all. After it explodes, the explosion storm will spread to the surrounding areas at an extremely fast speed. At this time, the closer you are to the explosion storm, the more dangerous it is. But if you teleport to the center of the explosion, there is already a void, which is extremely safe!"
"Is there such a thing?"
"Why have I never heard of it before?"
Even several fusion stage cultivators couldn't help but speak out at this moment.
The shock that Lin Mu brought to them was too great.
The explosion of the Five Yin Lightning Bead was actually the safest at the center.
This is simply unbelievable.
"That's all I have to say. It's useless for me to say more, but I can guarantee that everything I say is true!" Lin Mu said sincerely and righteously, "If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself!"
The crowd was silent.
Who dares to try such a thing easily?
If you don't try well, you will lose your life!
Lin Mu glanced at the cultivators around him and saw that they all looked thoughtful, and he felt relieved.
It didn't matter if he exposed his swordsmanship.
Anyway, in the fifth round, and the subsequent rounds, he would inevitably display his strength in the late stage of the sword domain, and sooner or later everyone would know about it. It would be better to take the initiative to tell them this time, and at the same time shock them, it would also hide the existence of the Xuanyue Pei, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
All the thousands of cultivators wanted was a reasonable explanation.
His original intention was the same. He said these things because he didn't want to let the cultivators with intentions make random guesses.
With precious treasures, it is easy for others to covet them, and they might secretly rob them.
As for the swordsmanship, others can't rob it even if they want to, so it's nothing to expose it, but many cultivators will want to befriend him.
This is the result he wants.
As for the truth, there is no need for thousands of cultivators to know, and he won't let them know.
In the end, they are just watching the fun.
Your life is in your own hands, you must cherish it, even if you tell a big lie and deceive everyone, you will feel at ease and have no guilt.
In fact, if he didn't say it himself, who would know that he lied?
The only person who knew that he lied - Liao Shu, had already been killed by him, leaving nothing behind.
