The scene seemed to freeze at this moment.
When Liu Xin flew out, everyone in the arena, except for Qin Xiaozhi and Li Lianyi, was stunned.
Under the scorching sun, they stared blankly at the blood-stained Liu Xin flying backward, motionless, like lifelike wooden carvings!
At this moment, they absolutely refused to believe what they were seeing!
Not only them, but also the hosts and the two three-star War Gods in the live broadcast room, as well as all the martial artists watching the life-and-death battle.
Because, in the opinion of the vast majority of them, Liu Xin would crush the Battle Dragon Hall Master in the life-and-death battle until he killed him!
Even more so, they believed that the Battle Dragon Hall Master couldn't even block one move from Liu Xin!
As a result, as soon as the life-and-death battle began, Liu Xin first lost his treasured saber, which was considered his second life by the swordsman, then flew back covered in blood, with his left arm broken…
This stark contrast made many of them feel as if they were in a dream!
Was it a dream?
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Liu Xin's body slammed heavily onto the ground. Cracks, dense as a spiderweb, appeared in the ground beneath him.
This dull thud brought the stunned audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room back to their senses, and also made them realize that this was not a dream, but reality!
"What... what happened?"
Immediately, the silence in the martial arts arena was broken. A young disciple, with a dazed expression, looked at Liu Xin, who was lying on the ground covered in blood, and instinctively asked.
At this moment, he voiced the doubts in the hearts of all young martial artists except Gu Tianlong, Ye Kunlun, and Yuan He.
Due to their inferior strength, they could not clearly see the process of the exchange between Jiang Wuming and Liu Xin, and did not know how Liu Xin was injured.
Gu Tianlong, Ye Kunlun, and Yuan He had managed to see the process and saw Jiang Wuming kick Liu Xin's treasured saber away and slap Liu Xin away with his palm, but they found it very strange—Liu Xin seemed to be standing still and being beaten savagely by Jiang Wuming!
As for Qin Yuanzheng and the three-star War Gods from Kunlun, Longmen, and the Buddhist Sect, as well as the foreign delegation, after their shock, the process of the exchange between the two sides replayed in their minds, and they pondered the hidden tricks.
"The Battle Dragon Hall Master's attack power wasn't particularly strong. Why didn't Liu Xin dodge?"
Ye Kunlun, who liked to act impulsively, found it strange and turned to ask Kun Mu beside him.
"You're right. The Battle Dragon Hall Master's two attacks just now did not exceed the limit of a one-star martial artist. Let alone Liu Xin, even an ordinary two-star War God could have avoided them."
Kun Mu nodded and spoke slowly, both to respond to Ye Kunlun and to clarify for those young martial artists. "Liu Xin must have been disturbed, which is why he didn't dodge."
"Disturbed?"
Ye Kunlun's heart stirred upon hearing this. "Could it be mental interference?"
"Yes."
Kun Mu nodded, then glanced deeply at Jiang Wuming, who was wearing a ghost-faced mask. "The Battle Dragon Hall Master should be a martial artist with a strong spiritual talent."
So that's how it is!
After hearing Kun Mu's explanation, everyone present, except for the older generation of powerhouses, suddenly understood.
At the same time.
In the live broadcast room.
"Masters, someone at the scene said that the Battle Dragon Hall Master used mental attacks to disturb Liu Xin, causing Liu Xin to be unable to dodge the Battle Dragon Hall Master's two attacks. Is that true?"
The host asked, recovering from his shock.
"It should be."
The two three-star War Gods from the War God Hall nodded in unison, their expressions somewhat unsightly.
Just before the life-and-death battle began, they had confidently stated that this battle was without suspense—Liu Xin would surely win. However, in the blink of an eye, Jiang Wuming had slapped them in the face with his actions!
"A War God with spiritual talent, the Battle Dragon Hall Master is awesome~!"
"Hahaha... I said long ago that if the Battle Dragon Hall Master dared to challenge Liu Xin across borders, he must have an unknown trump card!"
"Damn it, where are Liu Xin's supporters? Why aren't you talking? Come on, tell me, who is the idiot? Come out if you dare!"
…
At the same time, the chat interface of the live broadcast room was directly flooded with messages. The martial artists who supported the Battle Dragon Hall Master's victory quickly posted, venting their suppressed emotions.
That's right…
Suppressed!
Since the Battle Dragon Hall Master and Liu Xin agreed to the life-and-death battle, they had endured countless taunts for supporting the Battle Dragon Hall Master.
Especially the predictions made by the two three-star War Gods in the live broadcast room before the battle began, which had dealt them a heavy blow, making them even doubt if their own judgment was wrong.
And now, they felt like peasants who had turned into masters, as if they had returned to heaven from hell!
"The life-and-death battle isn't over yet, and the final result hasn't come out. Aren't you happy too early?"
Immediately, some of Liu Xin's supporters recovered and retorted with a hardened scalp, but they were directly sprayed into oblivion by the Battle Dragon Hall Master's supporters—Liu Xin was already like this, how could he still win?!
"Masters, why is Liu Xin still lying on the ground and not getting up? Is his injury particularly severe?"
Just then, seeing Liu Xin lying on the ground, the host couldn't help but ask the two three-star War Gods from the War God Hall.
"—"
The two three-star War Gods looked thoughtful, and no one answered.
Because, from the image of Liu Xin flying backward just now, they saw that Liu Xin's arm was just broken, and he wasn't spitting blood, which proved it was only an external injury. The injury wasn't very serious, and he could still fight.
In such a situation, Liu Xin lying on the ground like a dead dog also made them confused!
Not only them, but also everyone in the Liu family's martial arts arena, including the older generation of powerhouses, looked puzzled as they saw Liu Xin lying on the ground and not getting up.
"Ah—"
As if to respond to everyone, Liu Xin, who was lying on the ground, suddenly let out a scream. His face became even paler, and his eyes were vacant.
It felt like a young man who had made love seven times in a night, was then given medicine by a wealthy patroness who kept him, and was forcefully made to perform again, leaving him mentally exhausted.
In fact, it was exactly like that.
Liu Xin's spirit was completely dispirited!
Because, just after he fell to the ground, Jiang Wuming, taking advantage of everyone's attention being on Liu Xin and the surrounding airflow, once again activated his spiritual power and launched a mental attack on Liu Xin.
Just like before, Jiang Wuming used his spiritual power to manifest himself, and in Liu Xin's spiritual world, he once again blew Liu Xin up, and then nearly blew up Liu Xin's entire spiritual world!
If Liu Xin's spiritual world had been blown up, Liu Xin would have directly suffered brain death and become a vegetative state!
Liu Xin knew this very well, and a look of unprecedented fear appeared on his face. He looked at Jiang Wuming as if he were looking at a devil.
At the same time, he tried his best to merge his martial will with his spiritual power again, manifesting himself in the spiritual world to resist Jiang Wuming's third mental attack.
However—
This time, Jiang Wuming did not continue to launch a mental attack.
Swish!
Under the scorching sun, Jiang Wuming's feet flickered, and his figure moved like a ghost, directly arriving in front of Liu Xin.
Whoosh!
Liu Xin woke up as if from a dream, got up with a鲤鱼打挺, and then turned his hand into a blade, striking at Jiang Wuming with a palm strike, but the power was far less than before.
On the one hand, there was a huge difference in combat power between a swordsman with a saber and without one!
On the other hand, he had been repeatedly blown up by Jiang Wuming in his spiritual world. His spirit was weakened, and his control over true qi was greatly reduced. The hasty attack at this moment was less than half the power of his peak.
Whoosh!
Facing Liu Xin's counterattack, Jiang Wuming did not dodge. Instead, he used the momentum of his run, swung his right arm, and punched Liu Xin!
This time, he chose to go head-to-head with Liu Xin using martial arts attacks!
