"Senior Brother Chu, those five short swords will belong to our Stormy Wave Sword School." The half-step Qi Transformation female swordsman beside Chu He smiled.
"This time, our quota will definitely exceed the other sword schools. We will definitely receive more rewards from the royal family." The other half-step Qi Transformation swordsman was also overjoyed.
Chu He didn't say anything. His expression was very calm, but he had the same thought in his mind.
The triangular-eyed youth finally crossed the swamp and landed on a branch of a withered tree. His body flashed as he reached for the nearest short sword.
Just as he was about to grab the short sword, a gust of wind blew past him. His vision blurred and the short sword disappeared without a trace. He quickly looked up and saw a figure dancing in the wind like a fairy. He circled around the withered tree as if he was weightless and took all five short swords.
"What!?" Everyone was in an uproar. They didn't expect that the one to take the five short swords would not be the half-step Qi Transformation swordsman, but the late tenth phase.
"Sir, don't be too greedy." The triangular-eyed youth's face darkened. A trace of anger flashed through his eyes as he gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand, ready to attack.
Chu Mu stood on an even higher branch of the withered tree. He looked down at the triangular eyed young man with an apathetic expression. Five short swords were stuck at his waist, releasing five rings of red light. It made Chu Mu look like a large light bulb, abnormally conspicuous.
"You can keep one short sword for yourself. The other four should be given to me." The triangular-eyed youth slowly pulled out his sword and spoke slowly. His voice was powerful and full of vigor.
"Give it to you? Sure, but what will you give me in exchange? "Chu Mu said unhurriedly.
"What did you say?" Hearing Chu Mu's words, the triangular-eyed youth was overjoyed at first, but then his face darkened again. He felt like he had been played, which made him even angrier. He pointed his sword at Chu Mu and a sharp sword Qi burst out, locking onto Chu Mu.
Chu Mu only glanced at him, completely unaffected by his aura. His body flashed and turned into a gust of wind, leaving behind an afterimage as he shot out.
"Don't even think about escaping!" The triangular-eyed young man shouted angrily and slashed out a few strands of Sword Qi. Then, he shot out in an earth-shattering manner and chased after them.
Chu Mu's figure drew an arc in the air, and after dodging a few Sword Qi, he quickly descended downwards. His mind was highly concentrated in order to prevent the attack of that terrifying crocodile demon beast.
The tip of his foot tapped on the dried branch, and his entire body floated up again. At the same time, the feeling of being locked on by the fierce and violent aura appeared again. Chu Mu hastily pulled out his sword and slashed downwards. Over ten densely packed sword auras flew through the air and exploded on the swamp. The air currents surged, allowing Chu Mu to borrow the momentum to increase his speed.
The black shadow flew out again, and the triangular-eyed young man happened to be flying over. In the blink of an eye, he was about to collide with the black shadow. His face changed greatly, and he hurriedly stabbed out with his sword, pointing it at the crocodile's body. The sharpness of the pseudo sword could do nothing to the thick skin of the crocodile demon beast. The sword Qi burst out, and the triangular-eyed young man hurriedly used the momentum to rush upwards.
With a whistling sound, the triangular-eyed young man caught a glimpse of a black shadow lashing out like a long whip. The air exploded with a popping sound. Before he had time to react, he was hit. Immediately, he felt as if all the bones in his body had been shattered. An indescribable but extremely terrible pain spread throughout his body, seeping into his bone marrow and soul. His vision turned black, and he could only let out a short scream. His whole body flew out uncontrollably and fell into the swamp.
With a bubbling sound, the triangular-eyed young man's body sank into the swamp bit by bit. His hands waved weakly, and finally, he completely sank into the swamp and disappeared.
Chu Mu also took advantage of this opportunity to leap several times and return to his original place. His body emitted a strong red light, which was extremely dazzling. Therefore, when Chu Mu landed, the surrounding figures swayed and immediately formed an encirclement around Chu Mu.
All of them looked unfriendly, and their eyes shone with sharpness and greed. Their gazes fell on the five short swords at Chu Mu's waist, and they slowly moved closer, shrinking the encirclement.
Chu Mu was not afraid at all. He smiled and his body swayed. Everyone only saw a blur in front of their eyes, and some people felt a gust of wind blowing past them. When they looked carefully, they had already lost track of Chu Mu. A chuckle came from the side. "Do you think you can keep me here with your ability?"
Everyone hurriedly looked back and saw that Chu Mu had appeared outside their encirclement. The red light on his body was still so dazzling.
At this moment, Chu He and the other Four Heroes of the Sword Academy moved. They streaked across the sky and landed not far from Chu Mu, staring at Chu Mu.
Being stared at by four Qi Transformation swordsmen, Chu Mu's body tensed up. It was as if the air around him had been compressed and frozen.
"This short sword is a thank you gift for helping me out that day." Chu Mu pulled out a short sword and transformed into a red light that shot towards Chu He as he spoke. Chu He grabbed it in his hand and didn't say anything. Chu Mu did not look at him again. Instead, he glanced at Xu Jianfeng, Li Huaiyu, and Zhou Hongyu. "I still have four short swords. If you want to take them by force, I guarantee you won't get a single one. However, there is no enmity between us. I'll keep one for myself. If any of you want the other three, give me something in exchange. "
"You've really exceeded my expectations." Zhou Hongyu's attitude was proud as he slowly said, "However, where is the short sword you obtained before?"
"Hand over the short sword obediently. Otherwise, you'll get it." Zhou Ziming threatened, using Chu He's power to intimidate others.
"There's no need to digress. Three short swords. Deal. The highest bidder wins." Chu Mu directly said, ignoring Zhou Ziming's clamor.
"It's good to be confident, but it depends on who you're dealing with." Xu Jianfeng spoke. His voice had a metallic quality to it, causing the pressure to multiply.
"Looks like you don't need the short swords since you already have them." Chu Mu smiled slightly.
"The three short swords are mine. I'll give you two high-grade sword arts and one top-grade Yellow Level sword Qi art." Li Huaiyu suddenly said.
"One top-grade Yellow Level sword Qi art, one low-grade sword, and five Qi Increasing Pills." Chu He suddenly said. The price he offered was even more generous than Li Huaiyu's.
"It's not a good habit to keep everything to yourself." Xu Jianfeng suddenly said. He looked at Chu Mu. His narrow eyes carried a cold light that was as sharp as a sword, causing others to not dare to look at him directly. "One short sword and one top-grade Yellow Level sword Qi art. Chu He, you've already obtained one short sword. There's no need for you to participate in the bidding for the remaining three."
Chu He didn't say anything. However, from his expression, he really didn't have any intention of participating. An extra short sword would indeed give his sect one more spot, but one less spot wasn't a big deal. For a high-grade sword sect like theirs, there were quite a few people who entered the top hundred every year. More than half of them were from high-grade sword sects and provincial heirs.
After Xu Jianfeng finished speaking, he didn't care about what others said. He directly took out a silk booklet from his chest and threw it towards Chu Mu, landing in Chu Mu's hand. Chu Mu quickly flipped through it and confirmed that it was indeed a top-grade Yellow Level sword Qi art. He then took out a short sword and threw it towards Xu Jianfeng.
"A high-grade sword art." Li Huaiyu's voice was somewhat cold. He also took out a silk booklet and threw it towards Chu Mu. After Chu Mu verified it, he took out a short sword and threw it towards Li Huaiyu.
"Now that you have a top-grade Yellow Level sword Qi art and a high-grade sword art, I'll give you five Qi Increasing Pills." Zhou Hongyu suddenly laughed. His expression was still cold and arrogant. "If you're willing to give up two short swords, I'll give you twelve Qi Increasing Pills."
"Give me five Qi Increasing Pills." Chu Mu said.
Zhou Hongyu extended his left hand, and a subordinate beside him placed a porcelain bottle into his hand. With a shake of his hand, the bottle flew towards Chu Mu. Chu Mu opened it and poured it out. After confirming that there were indeed five Qi Increasing Pills, he took out another short sword and threw it towards Zhou Hongyu.
In this way, the number of short swords obtained by the three high-grade sword sects and the Crown Prince's courtyard was almost the same. However, this had always been the case, so there was nothing strange about it.
"A short sword, a high-grade Sword Art, a top-grade Yellow Tier Sword Qi Art, and five Qi Increasing Pills. You have quite a lot of things on you. If I was still in the Sword Qi Realm, I definitely wouldn't let you go," Xu Jianfeng suddenly said before turning around and leaving with large strides.
Chu Mu's expression didn't change, but his pupils slightly trembled. A trace of sharpness flashed through his eyes. Xu Jianfeng's words instantly made Chu Mu the target of everyone. Looking at the surrounding Sword Sect disciples, they were all staring at him like hungry wolves.
Chu He looked deeply at Chu Mu. This unfamiliar cousin of his had made him sigh again and again. He looked around, but didn't say anything and turned around to leave.
Li Huaiyu also looked at Chu Mu, as if he wanted to deepen his impression of him, and also left. Zhou Hongyu's arrogant expression revealed a hint of a smile. Looking at Chu Mu, he said, "You are a talent. I am starting to admire you. Join me, and from now on, listen to my orders. Not only will no one dare to touch you, but you will also get a better cultivation environment and more cultivation resources."
"No need. They are just a bunch of chickens and dogs." Chu Mu said indifferently, which immediately angered those who wanted to make a move on him.
His figure flashed, and everyone's vision blurred. Chu Mu had turned into a gust of wind and quickly left.
"Chase him, don't let him escape."
"I recognize him. He is the guy who stole our short swords." Some of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect and Fierce Gale Sword Sect's disciples' eyes lit up and immediately shouted.
A large group of people shouted and used their movement techniques to chase after Chu Mu.
"Prince, are we just going to let him go like this?" Zhou Ziming gritted his teeth and said in an unwilling tone. He looked at the direction Chu Mu left with hatred.
"There are some things that should not be asked." Zhou Hongyu said indifferently. He didn't scold him, nor did he get angry. However, it made Zhou Ziming shrink his neck and quickly retreat to the side, not daring to say anything.
"This person's movement technique is extraordinary. Even I have a feeling that I can't compare to him. He is truly a talent. I must take him under my wing and use him for my own purposes." Zhou Hongyu said secretly and made up his mind.
He didn't know that his decision and plan would fail.
As for the crocodile demonic beast in the swamp, it didn't leave the swamp, probably because it was restricted. (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.)
