(If you have money, you should support me. If you don't, you should support me.)
The bright white moon seemed to have traces of red spreading across it. It was destined that tonight would not be a peaceful night.
Within the bamboo forest, Chu Mu slowly walked over with his sword in hand. The sound of his feet stepping on the dried bamboo leaves was extremely ear-piercing, causing Wang Qi's heart to beat wildly. His body trembled slightly, but he had no strength to stand up.
His arms, thighs, and abdomen were all pierced through by the terrifying White Cloud Sword Qi. Even his bones were clearly injured. Blood flowed out from the wounds and seeped into the dried bamboo leaves.
As he grew weaker and weaker, Wang Qi's heart was filled with unwillingness and shock. He had trained bitterly for a month. Not only had he successfully broken through to the middle stage of tenth stage, he had also changed to a top grade Yellow Level Wind Sword Qi Technique. He had also trained the Yin Wind Sword Technique to Small Completion. His overall strength had clearly increased by a lot.
Adding on the fact that the five tenth phase peak and late tenth phase swordsmen who wanted to obtain benefits were lying in ambush here, they laid down a killing move. Their goal was to eliminate Chu Mu in one fell swoop and get rid of the worry in their hearts.
But they did not expect that not only had Chu Mu broken their ambush, but he had also escaped from their perfect ambush and counterattacked. What was even more unexpected was that Chu Mu's strength had increased by a lot compared to a month ago. The power of that high level sword technique could be said to be terrifying.
Forcefully turning his head, Wang Qi could see the five corpses not far away. They lay motionless on the ground, allowing their blood to flow freely. Wang Qi faintly saw their eyes open and staring at him, filled with unwillingness and questioning.
If the five of them had not taken the brunt of the countless Sword Qi, Wang Qi would have died just like them. But right now, he was also in a state of near death. It was even more painful.
Forcefully turning his head again, his vision had already begun to blur. He could faintly see a Sword Light stop above his head.
"Don't … don't kill … me …" Wang Qi's lips moved with difficulty. He did not even know what he was saying. If it were not for Chu Mu's powerful hearing, he probably would not have been able to hear it clearly.
"After you die, Wang Lin will soon go down to accompany you." Chu Mu said softly. His voice was like a thread, directly entering Wang Qi's ears. Even if there were others standing beside him, they would definitely not be able to hear it.
That was because Chu Mu had imitated the sword Qi sound transmission of experts in the Qi Transformation Realm. He had directly integrated his voice into the sword Qi and transmitted it to the other party's ears through the sword Qi.
Currently, Chu Mu could control a range of eight meters. That was to say, within eight meters, Chu Mu could transmit his voice using sword Qi like a Qi Transformation Realm expert.
Wang Qi, whose consciousness was already starting to blur, heard Chu Mu's external sword aura sound transmission and was instantly stunned. His eyes opened wide and his entire body began to violently tremble. His right hand was barely able to hold onto the sword. He strenuously tried to raise the sword and stab at Chu Mu.
But because he had lost too much blood, he was already powerless. He fell from the air, his neck twisted and his head tilted to one side. He breathed his last.
Chu Mu glanced at them. After confirming that all six of them were dead, a smile appeared on his face as he started harvesting.
…
When he returned to the Sword Academy, Chu Mu used his movement technique to leap over the wall and silently returned to the Qingfeng Academy. Theoretically speaking, it was not allowed to leave the Sword Academy in the middle of the night. Even if one wanted to leave, they had to go through the main gate and be checked. However, it was best not to let anyone know about the fight in the bamboo forest.
However, what Chu Mu did not know was that his fight in the bamboo forest and his return to the Qingfeng Academy had been seen by someone.
"He's actually a disciple of a low tier sword sect. That's beyond my expectations. Not only did a disciple of a low tier sword sect kill six powerful enemies with his cultivation at the mid tenth phase, he did it so cleanly and decisively." A black figure appeared outside the Qingfeng Academy. He stared at the academy and thought to himself, "Moreover, he has comprehended twenty percent of the Concept of Clouds. The high tier sword skill he used is something I've never seen before."
"This child's talent has already surpassed Chu He, Xu Jianfeng, and the others. I'll observe him for a while longer. Once I've confirmed it, I'll report it to the Alliance." The black figure seemed to be talking to himself. He said this in a voice that only he could hear. Then he disappeared in a flash, as if he had never appeared.
Killing Wang Qi and the other five did not take much time for Chu Mu. Thus, when he left, it was the beginning of the Zi period. When he returned, it was still the Zi period.
Chu Mu did not feel sleepy. He sat on his bed and took out his spoils of war one by one from his spatial bracelet. He carefully examined them.
Of the six killed swordsmen, apart from Wang Qi who was at the mid tenth phase, the other five were at the late tenth phase and two were at the peak of the tenth phase. Looking at their fierce attacks, they should be people with rich experience in fighting.
There were three books. Chu Mu flipped through them one by one. His eyes lit up. He felt that his harvest was not bad.
The Yin Wind Sword Qi Art was a top grade yellow tier sword qi art. Like the Shangyuan Sword Qi Art, it also had seven levels. However, when it was cultivated to the end, it did not condense a strand of xiantian sword qi like the Shangyuan Sword Qi Art. It seemed that overall, it was not as good as the Shangyuan Sword Qi Art. However, the sword qi it cultivated carried a gloomy chill, like a cold wind blowing.
The Great Wind Sword Art was a wind-elemental advanced sword art. After mastering it, one's sword would create gusts of wind that whistled through the air. Among wind-elemental sword arts, it tended to be more imposing, so its power was naturally not weak.
The Fleeting Wind Shadow was a high grade movement skill. After looking at its name and content, it leaned towards the wind attribute, which made Chu Mu's eyes light up.
Up until now, his Wind Travel movement technique was still at the middle stage. Because of the 30% Wind Concept, it was close to a high stage movement technique. However, it was only after being perfectly killed by the six people that Chu Mu felt that his own movement technique, even with the 30% Wind Concept's support, was somewhat powerless.
Now that he saw that this high grade movement skill belonged to the wind attribute, Chu Mu could not help but feel happy. It was like a timely rain.
In addition to these three books, there were six fake swords. Chu Mu also found three Qi Increasing Pills on their bodies. Although it was not much, it was still a good harvest. It had to be known that a disciple of a low grade sword sect could only obtain one Qi Increasing Pill every year.
"The Yin Wind Sword Qi Art is not as good as the Shangyuan Sword Qi Art, but I can keep it. The Great Wind Sword Art is a high grade sword art, which can solve my current predicament of lacking a high grade wind attribute sword art," Chu Mu thought to himself.
Chu Mu's current wind attribute sword art was mainly the Clear Wind Sword Art. However, the Clear Wind Sword Art was an intermediate grade sword art and could not keep up with the pace. Apart from that, there was also the Super Sword Skill, Aspect of Wind, which could only be used at the Qi Transformation Realm. Even the simplified version of Aspect of Wind could only be used as a trump card. The appearance of the Gale Sword Skill was equivalent to solving the current predicament.
Dacheng's Goldtip Sword Art was still some distance away from perfection. As for the cloud attribute, he had created the Cloud Shattering Sword Explosion. Even among high grade sword arts, it was a very powerful sword art. Adding on the twenty percent increase, it was even more powerful. It was almost on par with the simplified version of the Form of Wind.
"Once I master it, my wind attribute shortcoming will be temporarily solved. If I can achieve small success in both sword arts, then my overall strength will increase again," Chu Mu thought to himself. He had decided on the direction of his cultivation.
…
The sky was bright. Wang Qi and the others had not returned all night, so Wang Lin naturally could not rest in peace.
Thus, as soon as the sky brightened, Wang Lin and Guo Chengji left the Sword Academy together. They went to the bamboo forest twenty miles to the west. As soon as they entered the bamboo forest, they saw six corpses.
The six corpses were in different positions, but they all had one thing in common. There were many finger-sized wounds on their bodies. The blood had long dried up, and their skin was pale and dry.
"Second brother …" Wang Lin stared blankly at Wang Qi's corpse. His heart was in a mess. Grief and anger filled his heart and brain. He squatted down beside Wang Qi.
Guo Chengji stood to the side and watched. He felt a bit sad, but more than that, he was shocked. This was because he knew what had happened last night. It was precisely because he knew what had happened that he was even more shocked.
Compared to Wang Lin's grief, Guo Chengji maintained his calm, because the people who died had nothing to do with him. His heart trembled, and he silently rejoiced that he didn't start a conflict with the Qingfeng Courtyard disciple Chu Mu. Otherwise, he would have lost all face.
For example, Guo Chengji was the target of the simulation last night. Even with his powerful strength, he could not escape from their killing intent. But now, it was the six of them who had been killed here.
"Chu Mu … I must kill you …" Wang Lin stood up again. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with killing intent. His hands were clenched into fists. Sword Qi surged from his body. The killing intent on his body was so sharp that it seemed to shoot straight into the sky. Guo Chengji was secretly shocked.
"Junior brother, if they were really killed by Chu Mu, our current strength is not enough to kill Chu Mu," Guo Chengji said. He was optimistic about Wang Lin. Wang Lin was a sixth-grade talent, the same as Xu Jianfeng. Wang Lin's talent in swordsmanship was stronger than Xu Jianfeng's. This meant that Wang Lin had the chance to catch up to Xu Jianfeng, or even surpass him.
Guo Chengji knew his own talent and ability. If he relied on himself, it would be difficult for him to reach a high level. Therefore, he needed someone to rely on. Although relying on Xu Jianfeng was good, it was just icing on the cake. However, relying on Wang Lin was like providing charcoal in snowy weather. The meaning was completely different.
"I know. In half a year, there will be a new round of the top 100 battles. At that time, I will use this opportunity to kill Chu Mu." Wang Lin relaxed his fists and withdrew his killing intent. However, his words revealed a terrifying killing intent that caused the air to tremble.
"Yes, in another half a year, I believe that Junior's strength will become even stronger. I will also be able to break through to the half step Qi Transformation stage. When that time comes, it will be the time of Chu Mu's death." Guo Chengji also let out a cold smile as he spoke.
Everything would be decided in the top 100 battles. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
