Within Purgatory, time was unknown.
Swordless Purgatory's fourth level. With a peng sound, a shocking sword light pierced through the air, piercing through the air and releasing a shocking explosion. The sword broke through the Purgatory Devil Beast's fur and penetrated deeply. With a twist, blood sprayed out.
In just a few strikes, this Purgatory Magical Beast had died under Chu Mu's sword.
"Three points of force. Sword speed increased by fifty percent, and explosive power increased by thirty percent …" After killing this Purgatory Magical Beast, Chu Mu didn't immediately extract its essence. Instead, he recalled the good and bad points of his sword.
Under normal circumstances, whether it was a stab, a chop, or a slash, the longer the distance, the more powerful it would be. It was like punching out, retracting it, and then punching out again. The power would be much stronger than punching out with a slightly bent arm.
But if one grasped the method of using the Inch Step, even if one's arm was slightly bent, the power would not be inferior to that of retracting it and then punching out again. In fact, if one grasped it to a high level, it could even be several times stronger.
This made Chu Mu recall a martial art technique from Earth called the Inch Punch. Chu Mu had never cultivated it before, nor had he come into contact with it. He wasn't clear on how the Inch Punch was used. Perhaps it was different from what he was currently researching, but the effect should be the same. They were different paths leading to the same goal.
If he spread the points of force all over his arm like the Inch Step, he believed that he could erupt with a shocking power.
Power was determined by strength and speed. The greater the strength, the faster the speed, the stronger the power.
Chu Mu didn't remember how many Purgatory Magical Beasts he had killed before he managed to find three points of force and connect them together to release a shocking power.
That sword could be considered a preliminary success.
"Since it originated from the Inch Step, I'll just call it the Inch Sword," muttered Chu Mu with a smile.
Although the name had been given, this Inch Sword was only on the right track. At the very least, he needed to distribute more force points on his arm. When the time came, the sword would be connected in one fell swoop. The power of the sword would definitely be unbelievably strong.
While Chu Mu was searching for Purgatory Magical Beasts to practice his sword arts, a group of Dark Night Sword Sect disciples were also searching for Chu Mu on the fourth level of Swordless Purgatory. However, the fourth level of Swordless Purgatory wasn't small and Chu Mu was alone. It wasn't that easy to find him.
Today, they met Chu Mu.
"Senior Brothers, that's him." Yan Feng pointed at Chu Mu and shouted.
Immediately, several unfriendly gazes pierced through the void and landed on Chu Mu's face.
"Disciple of the Five Elements Sword Sect, let me ask you, have you ever seen a disciple of my Night Profound Sword Sect?" The leader of the group glared at Chu Mu with a questioning tone. However, Chu Mu ignored him as if he didn't hear him at all.
This disciple of the Night Profound Sword Sect seemed to think too highly of himself.
"Stop right there. We're asking you a question. Why aren't you answering?" Chu Mu didn't reply. Instead, he turned around and was about to leave. The expressions of the Dark Night Sword Sect disciples changed. Their figures shifted and they surrounded Chu Mu as if they had switched positions.
Including Yan Hui, there were a total of four disciples from the Night Profound Sword Sect.
"Senior Brothers, he's the one who extorted two hundred thousand low grade Origin Pills from Senior Sister Ye Yin. My brother went to seek justice from him, but he arrogantly retorted. My brother left the Heavenly Sword Camp to reason with him, but so much time has already passed, and there's still no news from him." Yan Feng pointed at Chu Mu and roared, as if Chu Mu had committed a heinous crime.
Hearing Yan Feng's words, Chu Mu couldn't help sneering. He now had a better understanding of Yan Feng's shamelessness.
"Did you encounter Junior Brother Yan Hui?" The Night Profound Sword Sect's disciples asked once more.
"I finally know why the Night Profound Sword Sect can become a sovereign power. All you have to do is be shameless enough." Chu Mu didn't answer their question. Instead, he said indifferently.
"You're courting death!"
"You dare insult my Night Profound Sword Sect?"
The Night Profound Sword Sect's disciples drew their swords and pointed them at Chu Mu.
"Speak, where's Junior Brother Yan Hui?" asked the leader of the Night Profound Sword Sect's disciples.
Chu Mu didn't reply, because there was no need to. He was calculating how to kill these four Dark Night Sword Sect disciples with the smallest price.
He had seen Yan Feng's strength, and he didn't need to worry about him. The key was the other three. He didn't know how strong they were. If they all reached Yan Hui's level, it wouldn't be easy to kill them all.
If one of them escaped, the other disciples of the Night Profound Sword Sect would definitely seek revenge. The consequences would be unimaginable.
"Take him down." Seeing that Chu Mu wasn't speaking, the leader immediately gave the order. He immediately drew his sword and showed no mercy. Four swords pierced over like snakes coming out of their holes, wanting to pierce Chu Mu's limbs and cripple him.
As the battle erupted, Chu Mu stopped thinking and immediately used the Inch Step. After so many battles, the Inch Step seemed to have fused with his body. He instantly dodged the opponent's attack and unsheathed the Five Phase Sword to counterattack.
"It's the Inch Step!" Yan Feng recognized Chu Mu's footwork. "You killed my brother!"
Hatred erupted, causing Yan Feng's sword to become even more powerful. However, he couldn't hit Chu Mu.
To prove that Chu Mu had killed Yan Hui, the Night Profound Sword Sect's disciples were even more merciless. Each of their swords wanted to kill Chu Mu.
Since they wanted to kill him, Chu Mu naturally wouldn't be polite. He didn't hold back.
The sword he stabbed out was suddenly blocked. At the same time, the other two swords stabbed out from the left and right, displaying the tacit cooperation of the three swordsmen.
Under normal circumstances, Chu Mu might have been injured when facing such a situation. However, he had already practiced the Inch Step to a level close to Dacheng's and had also developed the Inch Sword. He quickly dodged and didn't withdraw his sword, only moving it forward.
The three points of his right arm vibrated, and the power instantly erupted, causing the speed and power of the sword to increase.
This was a sword that defied common sense. The opponent couldn't guard against it at all. Chu Mu directly pierced the space between the eyebrows and into the head.
A terrifying power erupted, directly expanding the wound between the eyebrows and shattering the brain, killing the opponent on the spot.
Just this one sword had killed an expert not inferior to Yan Hui. However, Chu Mu didn't have time to sigh, because there were still three people left.
Using the Inch Step, he hooked the sword of the dead swordsman, and the sword of the dead swordsman immediately shot towards the other swordsman. With a flick of the sword in his hand, it pierced out explosively. Suddenly, there was an unstoppable power.
Unexpectedly, Chu Mu's sword that seemed to be stabbing out with full strength was actually a feint. Midway, he spun around and used the Inch Step, his power erupting once more as his sword changed direction and stabbed towards Yan Feng.
Yan Feng, who was attacking Chu Mu with all his strength, hadn't expected this. He also hadn't expected Chu Mu's speed to be so fast. By the time he reacted, it was already too late to dodge.
With a 'puchi' sound, Yan Feng's head flew high into the air, his eyes filled with astonishment.
The Inch Step and Inch Sword had contributed the most to killing two disciples of the Dark Night Sword Sect in such a short amount of time. The second was Chu Mu's manipulation of the situation. If it were before, he would have only been able to flee when facing these four people.
After two people were killed in a row, the two disciples of the Dark Night Sword Sect were unable to restrain their anger. They almost lost their rationality and disregarded everything, wholeheartedly wanting to kill Chu Mu.
Their sword techniques were even fiercer and more berserk, like a torrential storm. They wouldn't give up until they killed Chu Mu.
Chu Mu, on the other hand, used Inch Step. He was able to advance and retreat freely in a circle, constantly dodging the opponent's sword. The Five Phase Swords waited for an opportunity to move. Using the same trick, they hooked Yan Feng's sword and shot it out. Then, they hooked another sword into his left hand and used Dual Sword Technique.
Then, he used the Wind and Thunder 32 Swords at full strength.
Up until now, Chu Mu had consumed a total of thirty Essence Stones. His physique was constantly being strengthened, reaching the level of an ordinary two-star Sword Of Gojoseon. The Wind and Thunder 32 Swords had also broken through during the battle, reaching the level of thirty-two swords in one breath.
At this moment, under the eruption of his full strength, the Sword Light was like wind and thunder. The wind whistled and thunder rumbled. The thirty-two swords transformed into wind and thunder, blasting toward one of the four.
The sword in his left hand used the Wind Quick Sword, eighteen swords in one breath. Although the power wasn't as strong as the Wind and Thunder 32 Swords, it still couldn't be underestimated.
The Thirty-two Wind and Thunder Swords were blocked, and as expected, the Inch Sword exploded. The speed of the sword was extremely fast, and under the terrifying power, the tip of the Five Phase Swords broke through the opponent's treasured clothes and pierced into his heart. With a fierce twist, the heart was shattered.
Without the sword origin, the heart was even more fragile. Once it shattered, the sword practitioner's body twitched and fell to the ground, dead.
In a short period of time, four people had surrounded one person, but three of them had died. Especially the third person's miserable shriek, it was like a bucket of cold water had been poured over their heads. A chill ran from the soles of their feet up their spines to their heads. The soaring anger in their hearts dissipated. The thought of killing the opponent was also like smoke blown away by a strong wind.
With fear in his eyes, he instantly erupted with a powerful sword art, wanting to force Chu Mu back and then escape. Chu Mu's Inch Step was magical and exquisite. With the combination of two swords, he ignored the opponent's sword art and pressed forward.
"Stop!" Seeing this, the Dark Night Sword Sect's disciple immediately roared, "I can swear that as long as you let me go, I won't cause any trouble for you."
Chu Mu's expression was cold as if he hadn't heard anything. He continued to attack with both swords.
In a one on one situation, unless this Dark Night Sword Sect's disciple's strength was several times stronger, how could he be Chu Mu's opponent? He was killed in three swords.
Chu Mu naturally heard his words, but he didn't believe them. Moreover, even if he didn't cause trouble for Chu Mu, it didn't mean that the other Dark Night Sword Sect's disciples wouldn't. So, killing them was the best choice.
He quickly moved and took the four's spatial rings and holy swords. As for their corpses, there would naturally be Purgatory Magical Beasts to eat them, helping Chu Mu destroy the evidence.
This battle made Chu Mu realize that the combination of the Inch Step and Inch Sword could be said to be perfect. Compared to using them individually, their power was much stronger. If he could perfectly combine them, it would definitely be even more terrifying.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. Chu Mu put the spoils into his spatial ring and quickly left.
