Chapter 1683 Mo Zhenzui Versus Yu Heng
High Grade immortal weapons were still something that could not be easily obtained. Lin Mu having three of them, was already a great thing. But so far, Lin Mu hadn't seen many people with them.
In fact, he could count the ones who had a high grade weapon on one hand.
But that was all, as there were some special weapons that were made as pairs or sets. The fans that Mo Zhenzui was using could also be considered among them.
On their own, the individual fans were merely at the Mid grade, but when both were utilized together, they would reach the level of a High Grade Immortal weapon. There were several reasons for making weapons like this.
The main reason for most people was that making two mid grade immortal weapons was easier than making a single high grade immortal weapon. If it was the same person making both of them, it was even easier to making weapons that would be compatible with each other and bring forth a synergistic effect.
That was what was happening here.
~WHOOSH~
~HUALA~
Mo Zhenzui waved both of her fans, alternating between them. One whipped up winds while the other brought forth waves of fire. The intense fire was further amplified by the wind, as more air was burned up.
The oxygen fueled the fire, increasing its temperature while the pressure of the wind allowed the fire to spread further.
It was a synergistic effect and it looked like a wild fire had broken out on the Savannah!
"I know that!" someone in the audience shouted. "Those fans! They're the Great Savannah Blaze Fan and the Great Savannah Wind Fan! They were made by Grandmaster Weaponsmith Doji!"
"What! An Immortal weapon personally made by Grandmaster Weaponsmith Doji? Aren't they really rare?" others in the audience questioned.
"They are… They're incredibly rare. Even low grade weapons made by him are considered collectible and many experts will pay quite a lot to obtain them. As for the other Weaponsmiths, they will pay even more to get an opportunity to learn from those weapons." An elder in the audience explained.
Lin Mu heard it all too, and was a bit surprised. This wasn't the first time he had heard about the Grandmaster Weaponsmith Doji. He had actually seen a couple of weapons made by the man in the Grand Sky Pavilion.
Of course, they were selling for a lot and Lin Mu had merely glanced at them.
'Since she has those, it either means she has a good enough background or that she has enough wealth.' Lin Mu reckoned.
From the information he had read about Mo Zhenzui, it was stated that she was an independent cultivators. Little information was preset in the booklet other than the fact that she had taken part in a banquet and had demonstrated her skills. But in that, only the name of a single fan was mentioned as she hadn't needed to use the other one.
"Hoho! Seems like Junior Mo is well connected. Obtaining weapons of Grandmaster Weaponsmith Doji is not a simple task." Yu Heng said before clenching his fist.
~CLANG~
Four Metal beads came close and attached to his knuckles. He pulled his fist back and gathered immortal Qi in it before punching forward.
~BANG~
The four metal beads were shot like cannonballs and directly pierced through the wall of fire and wind. The two elements were torn apart by the momentum of the metal beads that were unaffected.
"Uprooting Savannah Wind!" Mo Zhenzui pulled back the green fan, creating an updraft that raised her into the air.
~SHA~SHA~SHA~
The four metal beads went past her just as she rose, allowing her to dodge them.
"She's a wind elemental user, so flying will give her a good advantage."
"Yeah, but flying this way will also raise her energy consumption."
"Do you think she'll have a better chance at winning now?"
"Probably. I'll put my bet on her if she survives this round."
The people in the audience were deep in discussion as they analyzed the fight. It was exciting for them to have weapons made by a grandmaster being used as well as someone who used Buddhist techniques from a different world.
They were feeling excitement from the last fight, and felt like this match was going to be boring. But now their doubts were proven wrong.
"AAHG!" But suddenly a change happened in the ring.
"Junior is too conceited…" Yu Heng mocked as he watched the plight of the woman.
One of the metal beads had torn a wound in Mo Zhenzui's left leg.
"You changed the trajectory." Mo Zhenzui had been caught off guard.
When Yu Heng had punched out, he had thrown the four metal beads. They had missed their target, but in reality, they were actually able to seek it out properly. Thus when Mo Zhenzui had felt like she was safe, the metal beads had automatically flown out and attacked her.
She had managed to dodge three of them, but one had managed to hit her in her leg despite that.
"Everyone has their trump cards. Its up to us when to use them." Yu Heng simply said before making a curling gesture with his fingers.
~SHUA~
The four metal beads spun around Mo Zhenzui, trying to attack her again.
~WHOOSH~
"Great Savannah Twister!" Mo Zhenzui didn't let them get close this time and created a wind vortex around her.
~DENG~DENG~DENG~
The Metal beads tried to get past the vortex, but were slowed down before being thrown out.
"Let's see how long Junior can keep this up." Yu Heng seemed to be a bit more casual now and flicked out his hand, sending eight more metal beads to attack.
The rest of the beads simply spun around him and kept him protected.
It seemed like they had entered a stalemate as Mo Zhenzui was held in one place. Yu Heng's metal beads spun around her and attacked her nonstop while she kept up the wind vortex in an effort to keep them away.
But having the wind vortex around her meant that she couldn't retaliate.
"Yu Heng's attacks are useless."
"Yeah, for how he speaks, he isn't really able to do much to Mo Zhenzui." A few people talked.
But Lin Mu thought otherwise.
'She won't be able to keep that up like this.' Lin Mu knew.
He could sense the energy fluctuations coming from both contestants and while it looked like Mo Zhenzui was perfectly defending against Yu Heng while the man was unable to do much, it was not a fixed thing.
'At the rate at which she is using up her immortal Qi, she won't be able to last that long. Once she runs out, she'll be a sitting duck.' Lin Mu reckoned. 'That Yu Heng has sensed it too.'
Lin Mu's immortal sense was able to tell that while Mo Zhenzui had a strong weapon, she didn't really have a large amount of immortal Qi storage. In fact, this was normal for most immortals.
After all, not everyone had massive Dantians like Lin Mu that had been expanded multiple times.
And this was when she was using two mid grade immortal weapons that were comparable to a high grade immortal weapon.
High Grade immortal weapons were meant for those in the Fifth Tribulation stage of the Immortal realm and above after all. For most immortals below that, using an immortal weapon above their cultivation was possible, but not sustainable.
Yu Heng on the other hand, had immortal Qi stores that were slightly higher than Mo Zhenzui but he was also using an immortal weapon that had lower need for immortal Qi.
In fact, Lin Mu reckoned the usage of immortal Qi for the Metal beads was highly optimized and the man was very proficient with them.
"Give up, junior, it will be better for you." Yu Heng spoke.
"Never!" Mo Zhenzui's voice was heard clearly despite the wind vortex.
In fact, one could find it a bit strained as it was being amplified by her wind.
"Tsk~ Tsk~ You should know when to quit. It is better to surrender with fewer injuries." Yu Heng suggested.
"Why should I listen to you?" Mo Zhenzui scoffed.
"I'm just giving a bit of an advice to a junior. It would be a shame to let an excellent body like that get scars." Yu Heng smirked. "But since junior does not want to take my advice, I'll be forced to finish this." His expression turned cold.
Yu Heng extended his hands outward while making claw gestures.
"Eighteen Mala Mystic Art: Caged Sinner!" Yu Heng chanted.
~HONG~
As soon as he did that, the eighteen metal beads all spread out and glowed like fireballs. Mo Zhenzui tried to take this chance to retaliate, but before she could do that, the eighteen metal beads all released chains made of energy.
These chains linked them up before turning into a large net.
Yu Heng brought his hands closer, making the net close up.
