"Is this the Meteor Fall Slash?"

"Senior Lu's ultimate killing move, it seems it was used only once in a duel with the Institute Head of Sword Academy, narrowly missing victory by a single move. Unexpectedly, against Mu Jinyu, he used it so quickly!"

"Probably because today, the top thirty-ranked senior students were all challenged by Mu Jinyu, which might have angered him?"

"Yes, and the use of ordinary moves seems to be ineffective against Mu Jinyu, so he decided to directly utilize this move!"

"I don't know if Mu Jinyu can withstand it. If he can't, then that would be such a pity!"

"... "

The senior students below the combat platform couldn't help but exclaim in shock when they saw Lu Kaige leap into the skies, a terrifying killing move unleashed.

In their hearts, they hoped to see Lu Kaige defeat Mu Jinyu with this move, maintaining his unbeaten legend, while also wishing for Mu Jinyu to withstand Lu Kaige's attack.

To break the unbeaten legend from now on!

"Senior Mu, come on..."

Chen Yinlong, who had previously been fainted by Ning Ruofan's terrifying stench, was now fully awake and stood beside a mentor familiar with Teacher Chen, watching the battle.

Seeing Mu Jinyu locked in by Lu Kaige's sword light, his heart was anxious, silently cheering and rooting for Mu Jinyu.

"Hmm?!"

On the combat platform, Mu Jinyu was gazing up at Lu Kaige, who had jumped into the sky, his eyes narrowing slightly.

At this moment, his whole body tingled with a chilling sensation, his heartbeat slightly quickened.

It's hard for outsiders to imagine the pressure he was under, being locked in by Lu Kaige's Meteor Fall Slash!

He felt as if he wasn't facing a Life and Death Realm opponent, but a Creation Realm-level expert.

He had no doubt that facing this move, even Creation Realm experts wouldn't dare to easily withstand it.

"Ha!!"

Mu Jinyu lightly shouted, dispelling the terrifying pressure like being watched by a wild beast, emptying his mind to avoid thinking of too many troubles.

He maneuvered the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth, floating above his head, as a shield to resist Lu Kaige's sword.

But he felt it wasn't entirely safe this way.

Then, he suppressed the thought of using the Earth Emperor's Tome for protection, as he was sure Wang Yeqing wouldn't sit by idly while Lu Kaige truly took him down.

In his mind, the thought lingered: the moves and divine skills he knew were still too few.

In the past, he had only the Firewood Chopping Saber Technique, Sword Dragon Slash, and Life and Death Twin Dragon Fist, but upon encountering Ning Ruofan and others, due to the huge difference in cultivation, these moves could no longer easily crush them.

I need to master more divine skills!

In such a critical moment, his mindset was unprecedentedly calm, his mind repeatedly recalling the fragments of Life and Death Law he refined in the Tiangan Secret Realm.

His Life and Death Twin Dragon Fist was inspired and created from this.

"Swoosh!"

Mu Jinyu's eyes opened and closed, emitting brilliance. He had completely discarded thoughts of defeating Lu Kaige and earning tens of thousands of academic credits.

He only had one thought: first block this move and then discuss further.

Then, inspiration surged in his mind, suddenly having a thought.

"Poof!"

Mu Jinyu abruptly opened his mouth, spewing out a mouthful of blood.

Afterward, the blood directly splattered onto the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth above his head.

It portrayed the life cycle of ordinary people with the blood stains on the cloth, emitting a strong Life and Death mood!

It was a Life and Death Reincarnation Diagram!

"Boom!!"

Once the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth was stained with Mu Jinyu's blood and enhanced by the Life and Death Law, its power surged massively.

Originally, its presence was subtle, like an ordinary divine weapon.

But now, the aura it emanated was comparable to top-quality Life and Death Divine Weapons, even touching the grade of Creation Divine Weapons.

"Boom!!"

At this moment.

The terrifying sword light Lu Kaige had brought down towards Mu Jinyu finally descended.

"Hmm?!"

Wang Yeqing, standing in the high skies, was also tense, eyes fixed on the combat platform without blinking.

If Mu Jinyu were in danger, he would immediately intervene to save him.

It wasn't just Wang Yeqing who was tense.

Everyone watching, whether they supported Mu Jinyu or not, held their breath, feeling extremely anxious.

No one knew what the result would be next.

Could Mu Jinyu withstand this move?

Even if he could block it, how would he have a chance to turn the tables?

"Boom!!"

In the spotlight, the brilliant sword light Lu Kaige brought down finally struck above Mu Jinyu.

Uh.

It didn't hit Mu Jinyu but collided with the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth suspended above him.

With Mu Jinyu's blood and Life and Death Law enhancement, the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth was fully activated with the terrifying might of a Life and Death Divine Weapon.

Immediately...

"Boom!!"

Lu Kaige's terrifying Meteor Fall Slash couldn't tear through the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth; instead, it was swallowed and then reflected back!

Transformed into a more terrifying version, seemingly as if Lu Kaige at the peak of the Life and Death Realm executed it himself!

The slash headed straight towards Lu Kaige in the sky!

"Hmm?!"

"How could this be?!"

Lu Kaige had never seen such a situation; upon witnessing this, his brows furrowed tightly, sensing a great warning.

He instinctively prepared to dodge the attack.

Even though he believed he could withstand this attack.

But he didn't want to risk potential injury facing this move head-on!

"Boom!!"

However, just as he intended to dodge.

He found the amplified Meteor Fall Slash from the Corpse-Wrapping Cloth crashing towards him at an even more terrifying speed.

Then it hit him directly.

Piercing through his body!

"Bam!!"

"Poof!!"

"Whoosh..."

In an instant, Lu Kaige's chest and back were pierced with a huge hole, blood dripping down.

The whole person fell swiftly like a cut kite!

If he hadn't twisted his body at the crucial moment, the area hit wouldn't have been his chest.

Instead, it'd be his head!

He might really have died by his own killing move.

"How could this be?"

"Not good!"

"Help!"

Wang Yeqing, prepared to save Mu Jinyu, was startled seeing Lu Kaige nearly struck half-dead instead.

Then reacting swiftly, he rushed to rescue Lu Kaige.

Nonetheless, Lu Kaige had already flown out of the combat platform's range and lost the ability to fight.

As such, he was automatically adjudicated as defeated by the challenge stele...

"Beep beep!"

Mu Jinyu stood on the combat platform, slowly absorbing the just executed Life and Death Reincarnation Diagram.

Then hearing the sound from his identity plaque, he exhaled deeply.

What a close call!

He almost lost to Lu Kaige!

But in the end, he still won!
