Essence [Parody] 7723 Brawl: Martial Arts Chapter - Final Chapter

Final Battle:
Mu Qingyang laughed loudly, thinking he had taken down Shenyue. Unexpectedly, that was only a clone of Shenyue. Mu Qing realized it, and both of them dropped their mice.\Mu Qing chanted a spell to summon a long staff: Invincible Little Stick (using this name as a weapon)
\ Shenyue drew a sword from his back: Evil Wind Cold Moon Sword (Forgive me, forgive me, Lord will forgive Qian, Amen.)\ \Shenyue and Mu Qing began exchanging their weapons for several rounds, sparks flying. The sound of metal clashing “Tung! Tung! Tung!” continuously echoed across the battlefield.\ \Mu Qing wildly struck at Shenyue's head three times. This time, Shenyue raised the Evil Wind Cold Moon Sword to block and defend. Although Mu Qing was not a strength-type hero and didn't have the immense power Shenyue possessed, as an agility-type hero, Mu Qing's advantage naturally lay in agility and attack speed. After three wild strikes, Mu Qing immediately lowered his body and aimed a slash at Shenyue's calf. Shenyue lifted his right leg to dodge, and Mu Qing took advantage of Shenyue's staggered step to chase him and slash again over Shenyue's head.\ \Shenyue quickly retreated a few steps, resting the Evil Wind Cold Moon Sword on his shoulder and holding the hilt with both hands. Shenyue twisted his body, causing the sword to spin along, then swung it with force. At that moment, it seemed as if he had become the eye of a storm, and anything around would be blown away by the sword's tip. Even though the sword's tip hadn't reached him yet, the following wind already made Mu Qing feel the danger. But whether or not he felt danger, if someone wants to hit you, you can't just stand there and take it, unless Mu Qing was passive!\ \Mu Qing used a strange movement to transform into a wisp of white smoke and floated upward. When Shenyue's attack arrived, it only struck the trailing part of this wisp of smoke. Mu Qing had just reappeared using this very movement. Relying on his combat experience and instinct, Shenyue looked up at the rising smoke and indeed spotted Mu Qing.\ \Mu Qing was now standing on a corridor several floors up. The battlefield was designed unusually—the top ten or so floors were hollow, like a chimney. Without a ceiling to stop him, he could jump as high as he wanted without worrying about hitting his head.\ \Shenyue immediately jumped up and attempted the same trick. As he was about to land on the corridor, he used the downward impact to forcefully hurl the sword at Mu Qing. But just as Shenyue could repeat the trick, so could Mu Qing.Mu Qing once again used his strange agility, transforming into a wisp of white smoke and drifting up, then landing on the bridge on a higher floor.\ \Seizing the moment while Shen Yue had not yet caught up, Mu Qing quickly used his invincible little divine stick to form seals, and a circular magic array about one meter in diameter, composed of golden light, slowly appeared in front of him. Just as the seals were completed, Shen Yue also arrived.\ \Shen Yue was short, so he couldn't jump very high (nonsense, please forgive me), barely reaching outside the bridge's railing. Not to mention being able to attack Mu Qing, it was uncertain even if he could land on the bridge. But how could Shen Yue make such a low-level mistake? After all, falling back into the battlefield at this layer of the game could mean falling more than twenty floors, certainly resulting in being smashed to pieces. Shen Yue raised his sword and pecked at the bridge with force, hanging himself on the bridge surface, then used the swinging momentum to flip over and took the opportunity to deliver a flying kick to Mu Qing!! Shen Yue's flying kick not only pushed Mu Qing back several steps but also shattered the railing. He then attacked Mu Qing with a flurry of stabs, but every time the Evil Wind Cold Moon Sword struck the golden circular magic array in front of Mu Qing, half of the power was deflected. Clearly, this circular magic array acted as a shield, although judging from how its brightness diminished with each attack from Shen Yue, it likely couldn't last too long.\ \After enduring a barrage of attacks like a storm, with a “bang,” the circular magic array was shattered into pieces by Shen Yue, dispersing into the air as sparkling light points. Seeing this, Shen Yue rejoiced and focused his energy into the sword. The Evil Wind Cold Moon Sword glowed faintly at first, but within seconds, the light covered the entire sword, turning it white.\ \Shen Yue gripped the sword with both hands and thrust it toward Mu Qing's head. Not only did the sword lunge at Mu Qing, but the light on the surface of the Evil Wind Cold Moon Sword also transformed into a fist-sized beam shooting at Mu Qing. Mu Qing twisted his neck, narrowly avoiding both the sword and the beam. The beam did not hit Mu Qing, instead striking the wall, leaving a hole about the size of a well opening. Although the beam pierced the wall, its power seemed undiminished, shooting straight forward.\ \Seeing Mu Qing dodge, Shen Yue released several more beams, but this time they were red.\ \Ultimate Skill: Moon God Slash, activated.The beams of light emitted by Shenyue shot out in all directions, leaving the entire battlefield riddled with holes, a hole on the east side, a hole on the west side, leaving it completely unrecognizable. Mu Qing saw that a single beam just now had such power, and now there were so many beams, each seeming stronger than the previous one, so he naturally kept his distance, fighting and retreating from Shenyue.

As Mu Qing continuously avoided Shenyue's attacks and retreated to the highest few floors, the exhausted Mu Qing finally revealed a flaw and was kicked by Shenyue, flying to the top floor.

Seeing such a favorable situation, Shenyue leapt with full force to pursue and delivered another strike in mid-air. As the crimson beams gradually dissipated in the air, illuminating the floating clouds, and there was no trace of Mu Qing, a victorious smile spread across Shenyue's face.

But this smile didn't last long; it soon stiffened into a grim smirk. This was because Shenyue, still in mid-air, heard a voice from behind: "Die!"

Shenyue turned to look at the source of the sound and saw Mu Qing's figure slowly emerging from a suddenly appearing white smoke.

It turned out that the beam Shenyue had just struck hit only a clone created by Mu Qing using shadow duplication. Now, taking Shenyue by surprise, Mu Qing had the opportunity for a sneak attack. The moment Shenyue descended, the anomaly appeared.

Qing: Divine Demon Annihilation.

Mu Qing's figure blurred, splitting into eight identical copies of himself in the air. The nine Mu Qings formed a mystical formation about the size of a basketball court, centered on Shenyue. Standing at nine positions corresponding to different directions in the formation, the nine Mu Qings coordinated with each other, each corresponding to the eight golden characters within the formation: "Shallow, Evil, Do, Gain, True, Not, Tolerate, Easy, Forward" (for those reading, do you feel it? Do you!!). In front of each Mu Qing, the small golden circular formations that had appeared previously reappeared, spinning rapidly with the runes on the large formation. The golden light surged and finally expanded into light spheres about half the size of a locomotive. The nine Mu Qings simultaneously pushed the light spheres forward, all of which transformed into beams of light and flew toward Shenyue.

Facing the onslaught of beams coming from all directions, Shenyue gritted his teeth and desperately wielded the Evil Wind Cold Moon Sword to defend himself. If he were to just stand and swing the sword, he could only block one side at a time, so Shenyue had to swing while constantly changing his position.Because of the extremely fast movement, it seemed as if three Shenyues were back-to-back defending together. But Shenyue did not copy Mu Qing's shadow clone; the other two Shenyues were merely afterimages. Since they were only afterimages, how could they possibly fully withstand Shenyue's ultimate move?

With a tremendous "boom," nine light pillars collided to create a massive explosion. The blast's shockwave drove away the clouds near the battlefield, revealing a star-studded, pitch-black night sky.

Mu Qing said coldly, "Winning wasn't easy; that guy Qian is really ridiculous."

At this moment, it was just a game heading this way...

As the smoke from the explosion cleared, a battered figure gradually became visible. Shenyue knelt on one knee, gasping for breath. His armor was somewhat damaged, its shine dulled, and the Evil Wind Cold Moon Sword was broken in two. Although Shenyue did not suffer serious injuries, it was clear that he had taken quite a hit.

As Mu Qing approached Shenyue, he said, "Been fighting for so long. Dead yet?"

Shenyue slowly stood up and stared at Mu Qing. From his eyes, one could see that he was completely unwilling to admit defeat. His face twisted into a grimace as he shouted, throwing the lower half of his broken sword into the air and using his ultimate move.

Summon: Snorlax activated.

The half sword rapidly extended into the sky and split to reveal a crack. Inside the crack, one could see a jewel at the center of the half Evil Wind Cold Moon. From the jewel emerged a man named Carl, who continuously unleashed various powerful attacks.

After Carl split into four clones, these four parts surrounded the red core, forming a swirling wind-fire wheel that collided with Mu Qing. The entire transformation process took only five seconds.

Shenyue pulled out a handle from the broken upper half, restoring the sword to its original length. Coordinating with the wind-fire wheel, Shenyue charged at Mu Qing.

Just as Mu Qing struggled to deflect the wind-fire wheel with his small stick, Carl attacked with a sword technique. Although Mu Qing used the small stick to block the straight blade at the hilt of the Evil Wind Cold Moon, he was caught off guard and forced to the edge of the rooftop.

With no way to retreat, the wind-fire wheel spun back. Its sharp edges launched numerous small darts. Seeing countless darts flying toward him like stars across the Milky Way, Mu Qing was shocked and flipped backward to dodge.When those darts flew to Mu Qing's original position, they didn't continue straight to harm Shen Yue; instead, they smartly curved upward and continued chasing Mu Qing. Mu Qing tumbled three and a half rotations in mid-air, falling vertically down the building, while Shen Yue leaped from the high building right after. Shen Yue and Mu Qing were fighting while falling from such a height. Shen Yue used his sword to push against the window ledge, using the reaction force like an arrow leaving a bowstring to dart downward, rapidly closing in on Mu Qing. Shen Yue and Mu Qing exchanged strikes back and forth in mid-air. They kicked, leaped, blocked, grabbed, slashed—every move imaginable, creating an extremely shocking scene. After withstanding Karl's attack, Mu Qing did a forward somersault and landed behind Shen Yue to kick him. Shen Yue turned to block, but at this moment, he became the one closest to the ground. Mu Qing looked ahead and suddenly jumped. Seeing Mu Qing act so strangely, Shen Yue turned his head slightly in realization, and what came into his sight were a series of intricately arranged steel beam-like crossbars. Shen Yue didn't dodge them like Mu Qing did; instead, he used brute force to smash each beam that blocked his path. While Shen Yue was knocking down these beams, Mu Qing didn't forget to harass Shen Yue from the side. The two of them fought while tearing down the beams and walls. Previously, Shen Yue's Moon God Slash and Mu Qing's ultimate skill had already left the battlefield in utter chaos; now they shattered the walls as well, making the battlefield shake and teeter. Meanwhile, just watching the game unfold as if oblivious to everything, Gameplay Alone was eating grapes and spectating. Shen Yue swung his sword in a motion like Karl's wind-fire wheel, spinning and cutting down in a zigzag pattern; Mu Qing jumped onto a beam to dodge. Shen Yue jumped, twirled the sword with both hands, and kicked at the beam. Mu Qing leapt into the air again and clashed with Shen Yue for a moment. Unable to contain himself, Gameplay Alone stood up, straightened his clothes, and said: “Let me take care of them.” At the height of Shen Yue and Mu Qing's intense and chaotic battle, a voice called out from afar: “Stop!” Mu Qing inserted his blade into the wall to halt his fall, while Shen Yue, holding the Wicked Wind Cold Moon Sword and standing on the swirling wind-fire wheel, hovered mid-air, and both looked toward the source of the voice. In short: Stop! Sorry, I can't write anymore. Let's call it a tie for now! Everyone go home and sleep!Shenyue and Mu Qing nodded in agreement and then dispersed. [The End] (It was stated as a parody from the beginning, no explanation. No proper ending, just for viewing.)
