“My first opponent will be Ning Que, my second will be Jiang Yu, and my third might be Ice Cube...”

Li Mo stood on the arena, silently calculating.

To enter Human City, it’s best to win all three matches, or at most lose one. Losing two matches would essentially mean no chance.

He couldn’t use his hammer treasure now.

So he had to win the first two matches.

Across from him, Ning Que had finished adjusting his Qi and stepped onto the stage. He wore a jade flute at his waist, but it was unclear where his God Weapon, Qinghai Yinyue Qin, was placed.

Before the match even began, he suddenly raised his hand and said:

“Wait a moment!”

“What’s wrong?”

Li Mo, who was poised to strike, was startled.

Ning Que vigilantly said, “Li Mo, I believe you are a true gentleman, so can we make a gentleman’s agreement?”

“Speak your mind.”

Young Master Li’s expression became serious; he felt Ning Que made a lot of sense.

“Since we are both gentlemen, we should have an honorable duel. First, no foul language.”

After observing, Ning Que had discovered one of God Hammer Little Overlord’s killer moves. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Fighting King Profound Meaning!

Firstly, he was a flute player and zither player, so he couldn’t talk back. Secondly, he felt he probably couldn’t out-argue Li Mo.

“Brother, you misunderstand me greatly, I am not...”

“Great Master Funeral Love said he learned it from you.”

...“Alright, anything else?”

“Also, no dirty tricks, like poisoning, monkey stealing peaches, throwing lime powder, or sneak attacks...”

“I really don’t know how to do that...”

“Really? I thought Huang Donglai learned that from you too.”

Ning Que looked suspicious.

“Him... he’s naturally gifted.”

Li Mo sighed and turned his head.

“Eh heh~”

Murong Xiao touched his bald head and smiled, his eyes full of wisdom.

“Heh heh...” Huang Donglai’s smile was a bit dark and lewd, and he gave a ‘thumbs up’ gesture to the stage.

Li Mo: “...”

They weren’t praising you two!

What the hammer are you laughing at!

But soon Li Mo understood what Huang Donglai was laughing about.

Because as Ning Que spoke, his mouth and hands suddenly began to turn red and swell:

“Although I also admit you are very handsome, no less handsome than me, but... Mmm, I really... Huh? Why is my tongue so thick?”

...Below the stage, Murong Xiao was startled. Pointing at Ning Que, he said, “Brother Donglai, have you noticed his mouth suddenly seems swollen, like a sausage, and his hands, like pig trotters...”

“This is my latest research achievement!”

Huang Donglai stood with his hands behind his back, his expression calm.

To make it easier for Brother Li to win, he °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° had recently specifically developed this, using many precious Heaven And Earth Treasure that he had wanted to use before but couldn’t afford.

“Aren’t poisons not allowed in the competition?”

“Dangerous poisons are naturally not allowed, but this is not a dangerous poison, it’s not even a poison.” freeweɓnøvel.com

Huang Donglai took out a small bottle from his embrace:

“This Facial Disfigurement Powder, when applied, causes the area to swell due to blood stasis and Impurities in the body. It will automatically recover after an hour, and it can also clear internal hidden injuries.”

“So, this is just a healing medicine with side effects!”

Murong Xiao leaned back slightly.

He noticed that as Huang Donglai spoke, his own body also began to swell, his face looking like a bear stung by bees after stealing honey.

So Old Huang had just applied Facial Disfigurement Powder all over himself, intentionally letting Ning Que hit him?

No, what about his mouth... Oh, right, the jade flute!

Hiss... Old Huang is truly a wolf man...

“Not good!”

“So I’ve already been hit!”

Ning Que gritted his teeth, his face frantic as he pulled out the jade flute from his waist:

“To make me lose face like this, if that’s the case, don’t blame me for holding nothing back!”

“I really didn’t administer this poison.”

Li Mo hoped he could calm down.

Everyone in the city was watching. He had finally found an opportunity, as an elegant swordsman, to have a friendly martial arts exchange between gentlemen.

Now, with such a huge mess dumped on his head, where could he go to reason!

But Ning Que was already furious. He brought the jade flute to his lips, about to play:

“Pfft~~”

Li Mo: “...”

Everyone present: “...”

Xiao Qin had just returned, looking bewildered: “Who let out such a loud fart?”

After a moment of silence below the stage, low laughter erupted. Ning Que’s lips were swollen like sausages, almost as thick as the jade flute, and his pig-trotter-like hands couldn’t cover the flute holes.

Although he looked miserable, everyone couldn't hold back their laughter at that fart-like sound.

“I know you’re in a hurry, but I might be able to find a way to help you detoxify first...”

“None of your business, I don’t want you to talk!”

Ning Que lost his mind. He slammed the jade flute to the ground, then clasped his hands together and sharply extended them.

Whoosh—

An invisible zither appeared, its entire body composed of water waves, each string like a ripple, naturally imbued with spiritual charm.

A zither sound rang out, ding-dong.

The strings vibrated, High Mountain Flowing Water, and the surrounding air seemed to instantly turn into flowing water. Under the influence of the zither music, strong undercurrents surged, and whirlpools and turbulent flows were densely packed.

If not for the arena being constructed by Abbot Huai Kong’s Dao of Sumeru The Way of Mount Sumeru from a Mustard Seed, the entire Wu Gate might have already been submerged in a zither-music ocean.

Even if the hands playing the zither were a pair of pig trotters... “Alas...”

Li Mo sighed. Why was it so difficult to be a handsome swordsman?

But with things as they were, there was no time to dwell on the Divine Might of the God Weapon.

He could only calm his mind, the Celestial Human Divine Sword in hand, its shimmering sword light like autumn waters rippling across.

This sword strike incorporated his Major Achievement Dugu Nine Swords, simplifying the complex, fully unleashed, and coupled with the divine peculiarity of the Celestial Human Divine Sword, the power of the sword strike escalated layer by layer.

Obscure yet direct, sharp yet strangely cunning.

The zither music seemed to transform from an invisible sound into a tangible object. In Li Mo’s eyes, it became obscure sketch lines on white paper.

This sword strike was the eraser wiping away those lines.

Dugu Nine Swords, breaking all weapons, including musical instruments.

Celestial Human Divine Sword, capable of cutting the formless with form.

It flickered within the zither music tide, separating the interlocking rhythmic whirlpools, severing the rhythm of High Mountain Flowing Water.

It pointed directly in front of Ning Que!

If his Mystic Core hadn’t formed its own circulation, even if the Celestial Human Divine Sword had some of its Divine Might available to him, he wouldn’t be able to wield it.

Ning Que had calmed down by now; it was the gleaming sword tip that forced him to focus completely.

The zither music changed, turning from offense to defense, ethereal and lofty, seemingly layered, coming from a thousand miles away.

Each time the Celestial Human Divine Sword pierced through a layer of sound barrier, its shimmering autumn water dimmed a bit.

This melody, played by a God Weapon, was no longer just making people feel distant through their senses.

Instead, it concretely constructed layers of sound barriers that seemed near yet far.

The sword speed became slower and slower.

But it ultimately rested on Ning Que’s Qinghai Yinyue Qin.

Crack—

A zither string snapped in response, disappearing into nothingness.

“Good swordplay. I underestimated you, thinking your swordsmanship was merely so-so.”

Ning Que’s eyes flickered, but then his tone shifted:

“But if that’s all you have, let alone Jiang Yu, you won’t even beat me.”

He also possessed Major Achievement Supreme martial art.

And while the Qinghai Yinyue Qin was not as high on the God Weapon ranking as the Celestial Human Divine Sword, it also depended on whose hands the God Sword was in.
