"Ugh..."
As Wu Sa provocatively challenged Jiang Wuming, everyone, from the delegation members at the competition venue to the audience watching through the Divine Net live broadcast, was stunned.
Their eyes widened, faces filled with shock as they stared at Wu Sa, their hearts consumed by the same question: Where did this Wu Sa get his confidence?
There was no answer.
With his martial arts cultivation of a two-star Battle God, sixth stage, Jiang Wuming had killed Sean, a three-star Battle God, fourth stage, achieving something unimaginable for any two-star Battle God and creating an unprecedented myth in the global martial arts world!
Because of all this, after Jiang Wuming stepped onto the stage, almost everyone unanimously believed that no two-star Battle God could defeat Jiang Wuming in this world, and some even thought no one would dare to challenge Jiang Wuming!
At this moment, Wu Sa's actions exceeded everyone's expectations!
"Where did this Wu Sa come from, not only arrogantly claiming to kill Master Wuming but also to snatch Master Wuming's fiancée?"
"Although I don't know if it was Liang Jingru who gave this Wu Sa courage, I can guarantee he will die a miserable death today!"
"Master Wuming, smash this arrogant foreigner who doesn't know his limits!!"
Amidst the shock, the Divine Net live broadcast was once again flooded with frantic bullet comments. Martial artists from all over Long Country exploded with excitement.
Even in the competition venue, the area where the Long Country delegation was located, there was a stir!
"Brother Wuming, teach him how to behave!"
"The Buddha said, if you don't court death, you won't die!"
Ye Kunlun and Yuan He spoke almost simultaneously.
Jiang Wuming, however, remained unfazed.
He did not attack Wu Sa immediately – Xiweiluo Roman had not yet announced the start of the match, and attacking would be a violation!
He could tell with his toes that once he made a move, Xiweiluo Roman would definitely intervene and declare him the loser for violating the rules!
This was a situation he absolutely could not allow.
This battle, regardless of whether it was for him or for Long Country, could not be lost!
While understanding this, he did not feel angry.
Yes.
At this moment, his face showed no trace of anger, only narrowed eyes fixed on Wu Sa.
Hmm?
Jiang Wuming's reaction caused Wu Sa's pupils to contract slightly.
Then, just as Wu Sa was about to say more, Jiang Wuming spoke.
"You think using such low-class, despicable means to enrage me and disrupt my mind is too wishful thinking!"
Jiang Wuming sneered, looking at Wu Sa as if he were an idiot.
So that's how it is!
Hearing Jiang Wuming's words, everyone, including Ye Kunlun and Yuan He, and those who had spoken out and commented, suddenly realized: Wu Sa was deliberately provoking Jiang Wuming, aiming to disrupt Jiang Wuming before the match!
"Methods are neither high nor low, the outcome will not change. You are destined to die today!"
Wu Sa sneered, still arrogant and unbridled.
"In this world, many people want to kill me. Among them, some are already dead, and some will die in the future. You are next!"
Jiang Wuming replied expressionlessly, then ceased further conversation with Wu Sa, directly turning his gaze to Xiweiluo Roman.
"Long Country's Jiang Wuming, Europa's Wu Sa, are you familiar with and understand the competition rules?"
Xiweiluo Roman, sensing Jiang Wuming's gaze, stopped waiting and asked.
"Yes."
Jiang Wuming and Wu Sa replied in unison.
"Both sides prepare, the match begins!"
Xiweiluo Roman spoke again, loudly announcing the start of the match.
As Xiweiluo Roman's voice fell, black light flashed in Wu Sa's eyes, and terrifying mental power surged out, instantly engulfing Jiang Wuming and appearing in Jiang Wuming's mental world.
First strike, best advantage.
As a mental power cultivator at the two-star Battle God, tenth stage, Wu Sa knew very well that if Jiang Wuming got close, he would surely die. Therefore, he immediately acted to kill Jiang Wuming with a mental attack!
Just like this morning, when Xiweiluo Roman questioned Wu Sa's strength, Wu Sa's heart moved, and he instantly killed Xiweiluo Roman's disciple without anyone noticing!
What's happening?
At the same time, whether it was the members of the various national delegations at the venue or the audience watching through the Divine Net live broadcast, they all saw that after Xiweiluo Roman announced the start of the match, Jiang Wuming and Wu Sa stood still, not moving at all.
Among them, the vast majority were bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
However, a small number of powerhouses, judging by their reactions, deduced that they were engaged in a mental battle!
This was indeed the case.
After Wu Sa's mental power entered Jiang Wuming's mental world, it transformed into an ancient war drum.
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
...
Before the ancient war drum, no one beat it, yet the drum sound was deafening, each beat louder than the last, as if to shatter Jiang Wuming's mental world.
Soul-Shaking Drum.
This was a mental attack secret technique Wu Sa learned from Anthonylo Roman.
As the drumbeats sounded, Jiang Wuming's soul trembled, and his mind ached, as if an ordinary person had been startled by a sudden loud noise.
The purpose of "Soul-Shaking" was to scatter the soul, causing it to dissipate and die!
However—
In just an instant, Jiang Wuming in the mental world transformed into a stone Buddha sitting in meditation.
This was one of the eighty-one diagrams from the "Nine-Nine Forging Spirit" scripture.
The stone Buddha transformed by Jiang Wuming sat cross-legged in the center of the mental world, eyes closed, silently reciting scriptures, completely unaffected by the drumbeats, and the stinging pain in his head instantly vanished!
Nine-Nine Forging Spirit?
Wu Sa immediately recognized the stone Buddha as originating from the Nine-Nine Forging Spirit cultivation method. A hint of surprise flashed through his mind, but he didn't pause and immediately changed his tactics.
In an instant, the drumbeats disappeared, the war drum dissipated into mental power, and then transformed into numerous mental chains, rapidly shooting towards the stone Buddha transformed by Jiang Wuming.
Soul Chains!
With this strike, Wu Sa employed a more powerful move than the Soul-Shaking Drum.
The stone Buddha transformed by Jiang Wuming remained motionless, instantly bound by the mental chains, unable to move.
"Die!"
Wu Sa's heart turned vicious, the mental chains rotated, attempting to grind the stone Buddha transformed by Jiang Wuming to death!
Swish!
At this very moment...
The stone Buddha transformed by Jiang Wuming suddenly opened its eyes, and a spiritual flying sword suddenly appeared, slashing towards the mental chains.
Clang!
A crisp sound echoed in the mental world.
The first mental chain was severed by Jiang Wuming's spiritual flying sword.
One sword, two swords, three swords...
Eighty-one swords!
Jiang Wuming's spiritual flying sword slashed out eighty-one swords almost instantly, severing all eighty-one mental chains and breaking Wu Sa's soul chain attack.
Hmm?
With two consecutive moves being broken, Wu Sa's heart trembled, and he went completely berserk. A surge of even more powerful mental energy entered Jiang Wuming's mental world, transforming into countless cones that pierced towards Jiang Wuming.
Mental Cones!
Wu Sa launched his third wave of attack.
In an instant, the cones formed from mental power permeated Jiang Wuming's mental world, like moths to a flame, shooting towards the stone Buddha transformed by Jiang Wuming.
In the critical moment, the stone Buddha transformed by Jiang Wuming still sat in meditation, with the spiritual flying sword floating before him.
Whoosh!
Immediately, the spiritual flying sword shot up, as if a swordsman were wielding an invincible sword art, slashing towards the myriad of mental cones.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
...
Sword light flashed, and crisp sounds continued to ring out.
In the mental world, Jiang Wuming sat cross-legged, his mind as firm as a rock.
The myriad of mental cones were severed by the spiritual flying sword and turned into nothingness.
One sword breaks ten thousand spells!
"How can this be?!"
In the real world, Wu Sa's heart was greatly shaken. The harmless smile on his face vanished completely, replaced by a look of horror!
