The Sword Light soared through the air. Driven by his physique, his energy condensed and his sword energy erupted. It was like a shooting star, like an aurora. The incomparably sharp sword tip pierced through the Inferno Devil Leopard's neck and was instantly pulled out. Blood sprayed everywhere.
But the Inferno Devil Beast's life force was extremely tenacious. The muscles on its neck contracted and immediately stopped the bleeding.
With a furious roar, the Inferno Devil Leopard's claws tore through the air. With a sonic boom, it wanted to tear apart Chu Mu.
His footsteps intertwined as he instantly retreated, narrowly avoiding the sharp claws. The Five Phase Sword slashed out, cutting off an arm. Then he spun around and cut off its head.
Even though the Inferno Devil Beast's physique was tyrannical and its life force was astonishing, it still couldn't survive with its head cut off.
After cutting open the Purgatory Devil Leopard's corpse, Chu Mu found a fingernail-sized white object near its heart. He held it in his hand and squeezed it. It was a bit like jelly, but it wasn't as brittle as jelly. It was extremely elastic and emitted waves of light fragrance. Smelling it made one feel comfortable.
Although this was his first time seeing it, Chu Mu knew what it was. It was the essence of an Inferno Devil Beast.
"The Essence Source can be directly consumed. It can strengthen the body and also speed up the recovery of injuries and stamina …" Chu Mu looked at the Essence Source in his hand and silently said. Soon after, he flicked it into his mouth and swallowed it.
The Essence Source slid into his stomach and quickly melted. Chu Mu only felt a cool feeling diffuse in his stomach and gradually spread throughout his entire body. His body felt as if it was being washed by a clear spring, and his exhausted stamina quickly recovered.
This feeling only lasted for a dozen breaths of time. During this time, although Chu Mu felt extremely comfortable, he was still vigilant of his surroundings to avoid being ambushed.
The essence had completely melted and been absorbed by his body. His stamina had completely recovered and he felt even better than before. Moving his body, he carefully felt that his physique had been strengthened.
It was only an essence, so its effect on strengthening his physique wasn't obvious at all.
In the Swordless Purgatory, a Swordsman's Sword Intent, Sword Energy, and Rule Power would all be suppressed. Even their physical strength would be suppressed to the standard of an ordinary Ichino Sword Of Gojoseon. Furthermore, the Purgatory had nine layers, and the Purgatory Demonic Beasts grew stronger with each layer.
Just like now, in the fourth layer of Swordless Purgatory, Chu Mu could feel that the Purgatory Magical Beasts were even more tyrannical and their physiques were even stronger. With the astonishing sharpness of the Five Phase Swords, it was starting to feel a little difficult.
If he reached the fifth layer of the Swordless Purgatory, it would be even more difficult to kill the Purgatory Magical Beasts with the Five Phase Swords. After all, the sharpness of the Five Phase Swords was insufficient.
Consuming Essence Source could strengthen one's physique to a certain extent. It would increase one's strength, speed, explosive power, stamina, endurance, recovery, and other aspects. It was also very useful for increasing one's strength.
Comprehending the essence of a sword art would allow one to comprehend sword energy. However, there were very few Swordsmen who could do this. Comparatively speaking, if one continuously strengthened their physique and used a sharper sword to kill their way through the ninth layer of Swordless Purgatory, they would also be able to comprehend sword energy.
Different paths lead to the same destination. It could be said that each path had its own benefits. But overall, the first point was better.
First, one had to comprehend the essence of a sword art and comprehend sword energy. At that time, one's strength would increase greatly. In the Swordless Purgatory, it would be easier to cultivate sword energy and increase the level and power of sword energy. It would also be possible to kill more Purgatory Magical Beasts and obtain more Essence Source.
As for the second point, it was impossible for an ordinary Sword Of Gojoseon to achieve it. The reason was very simple. A low-grade Sword Of Gojoseon would use a low-grade Holy Sword. A mid-grade Sword Of Gojoseon would use a mid-grade Holy Sword. A high-grade Sword Of Gojoseon would use a high-grade Holy Sword. A Nirvana Realm Sword Of Gojoseon would use a top-grade Holy Sword.
The higher the grade of a Holy Sword, the sharper it would be.
Chu Mu was certain that an ordinary low-grade Holy Sword could only cause light injuries to the Purgatory Magical Beasts on the fourth level of the Swordless Purgatory. As for a top-grade low-grade Holy Sword like the Five Phase Sword, which was comparable to an ordinary mid-grade Holy Sword, it would not be able to cause any harm to the Purgatory Magical Beasts on the sixth level.
Chu Mu only had two choices. One, comprehend the essence of a sword art and grasp sword energy before reaching the sixth level. Two, obtain more Purgatory Magical Beasts' Essence Source on the fourth and fifth level, strengthen his physique and leave the Swordless Purgatory. He would then raise his cultivation to the mid-grade Sword Of Gojoseon and exchange for a high-grade mid-grade Holy Sword and re-enter the Swordless Purgatory.
If possible, Chu Mu would naturally lean towards the first option.
However, he did not have much confidence. He could only do his best.
"You've followed me for so long. Still not coming out?" Suddenly, Chu Mu withdrew his thoughts and said indifferently. The surroundings were silent. It was as if Chu Mu was talking to himself.
"You're indeed capable. Looks like you're definitely not an ordinary Direct Disciple in the Five Elements Sword Sect." An indifferent voice sounded. Shortly after, a figure seemed to appear from the darkness and appeared a hundred meters away from Chu Mu. It was Yan Feng's brother, a disciple of the Dark Night Sword Sect.
"I'll give you one more chance. Hand over two hundred thousand low-grade Origin Cores and kowtow to admit your mistake. Then, I'll spare your dog life." Yan Hui threatened coldly.
"I hope the Dark Night Sword Sect's disciple will not disappoint me." Chu Mu said softly. He stomped on the ground slightly and the muscles in his legs twitched. The explosive power pushed his body forward like an arrow leaving the bow. The Five Phase Sword took advantage of the momentum and slashed down.
Chu Mu's decisiveness stunned Yan Hui. He had never imagined that a mere Direct Disciple of the Five Elements Sword Sect would dare to attack him.
Shortly after, Yan Hui smiled. He did not put Chu Mu in his eyes and slashed out with his sword. The sword was like a stream of light, instantly illuminating the surroundings. It pierced towards Chu Mu with unparalleled speed, wanting to kill him in one strike.
The sword was swift, tyrannical, and explosive. It displayed Yan Hui's shocking attainments in sword arts. Chu Mu's heart trembled. He did not dare to underestimate his opponent. The sword he slashed out did not stop. Its speed increased by thirty percent. As his muscles twitched, the power became even more tyrannical. It was like a volcanic eruption.
This was the Swordless Purgatory. It was a place where one did not need a reason to kill. In the face of danger, one would not consider the consequences.
If one did not kill, one would be killed. The logic was simple.
Therefore, Chu Mu and Yan Hui did not hold back. Every sword attack was aimed to kill the other.
Without sword intent, sword energy, and the power of laws, they only relied on their physique and pure sword arts. The range of their attacks was not large. In close combat, every move was extremely dangerous.
The two swords collided. As sparks flew, a tyrannical power erupted. Chu Mu only felt that the power of Yan Hui's sword was difficult for him to resist. He knew that Yan Hui must have consumed a lot of essence. In terms of physique, he had already surpassed him. Of course, if the seal was lifted, Yan Hui's physique might not be stronger than his.
A tyrannical sword energy erupted. The sharp sword slashed through the air, wanting to take Yan Hui's life.
Yan Hui's killing intent was awe-inspiring. He looked like he would not give up until he killed Chu Mu. However, Chu Mu was not that easy to kill. His sword arts were sharp, his reaction was swift, and his application of power was unique. For a moment, it was hard to determine the winner.
The two's faces were cold. A sharp light flickered in their eyes. While fighting, they were also looking for the other's weakness.
The surrounding air shattered. Their swords slashed through the air, bringing with them a terrifying sword wind. They left clear, straight, and crisscrossed marks on the hard ground.
A true expert, even if they were suppressed and unable to use all kinds of power, the sword wind produced by their swords still possessed a terrifying killing power.
After a fierce battle, the two sides were unable to determine a victor. However, Chu Mu was able to grasp his advantage and the opponent's advantage.
In terms of physique, there was a gap between them. In terms of sword arts, their attainments were about the same. But in reality, there was still a gap. This Deep Night Sword Sect's disciple had been in the Swordless Purgatory for much longer than him.
As such, Chu Mu had an idea.
As his muscles trembled, he used the power of vibration. The Five Phase Sword in his hand vibrated as he executed the thirty-two swords of wind and lightning.
Wind whistled, thunder rumbled, and thunder rumbled. The wind and lightning merged with the power of vibration, increasing the power of the Wind and Lightning Sword Technique by several times.
As soon as they came into contact, Yan Hui's expression changed. He felt an irresistible power rushing towards him. The sword in his hand almost flew out of his hand. He hastily grasped it, and the power of vibration made his hand numb.
Although he immediately used a method to disperse the power, the sword in his hand was still pushed away by Chu Mu. Chu Mu's eyes narrowed. The Five Phase Sword continued forward without mercy.
"Stop!" Yan Hui was horrified and hurriedly shouted. At the same time, he moved his feet and used some kind of magical footwork to quickly retreat.
The footwork that Yan Hui used was very mysterious. The distance of each step was very short, but the speed was very fast. Moreover, there was a special pattern to it. It actually caused Chu Mu's straight forward killing strike to miss.
Feeling that Chu Mu was hard to deal with and powerful, Yan Hui wanted to retreat. He used his footwork and quickly retreated, planning to escape. Once he returned to the camp, he would call on the other disciples of the Dark Night Sword Sect to kill Chu Mu together.
With a thought, Yan Hui was about to leave.
Suddenly, the Five Phase Sword flew out of his hand. This move was completely out of Yan Hui's expectations. Unable to dodge, the Five Phase Sword directly pierced his body.
He didn't die, but he was injured. As his body paused, Chu Mu flew forward. His right hand grabbed at the air, avoiding Yan Hui's counterattack. He grabbed the hilt of the Five Phase Sword, twisted it, and pulled it out again. His left hand clenched into a fist and heavily punched Yan Hui's chest. With another slash, he killed him.
"You …" Yan Hui couldn't imagine that he would die under Chu Mu's sword like this. His eyes were wide open, his face full of unwillingness, and he fell back.
Chu Mu panted a few times. This battle had been difficult. If he had been careless, he might have been the one to die. But in the end, he had won.
It had to be said that after the various powers were suppressed, although the battle between swordsmen wasn't as magnificent or vast, it was even more soul-stirring.
