Sword Qi shot out in all directions, shocking everyone.
The battle between Chu Mu and Huyan Zhengting gradually reached its climax and became more and more intense.
During the battle, Chu Mu also understood that Huyan Zhengting's swordsmanship was quite good. He was comparable to Gu Luankong and was slightly better than Yang Zhantian and Lian Hongyun.
On the other hand, Huyan Zhengting felt that Chu Mu's swordsmanship was unfathomable. Even if he used all of his swordsmanship, he wouldn't be able to do anything to Chu Mu. Chu Mu gave him a feeling that the stronger the opponent, the stronger he got.
"In the Hundred Year Secret Realm, I combined all of my knowledge and created two swordsmanship moves." Huyan Zhengting looked at Chu Mu seriously. There was a kind of devotion to the way of the sword in his eyes. "The first move, Silent Snowfall."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cold murderous aura around Huyan Zhengting increased by ten times. The air in the void seemed to be condensed by the cold murderous aura and turned into white snowflakes that danced in the air like butterflies.
Huyan Zhengting's sword slashed out and the snowflakes in the sky all flew towards Chu Mu. The edges of each snowflake emitted a golden glow and were incomparably sharp.
The power of every snowflake was enough to tear a Five Star Saint Realm expert to shreds. Even a Six Star Saint Realm expert would pale in fright.
When Huyan Zhengting used his swordsmanship, Chu Mu knew that it was a perfect and powerful swordsmanship.
However, as Chu Mu's understanding of the Heaven and Earth of the Sword deepened, he could analyze the strengths and weaknesses of his opponent's swordsmanship. Therefore, when he gently slashed out with his sword, the snowflakes under his sword were shattered and turned into ashes.
It seemed like a powerful swordsmanship, but it didn't pose any threat to Chu Mu at all.
"What a beautiful swordsmanship …" Chu Mu said. This was his evaluation.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, Huyan Zhengting's swordsmanship was not only beautiful, but also extremely powerful. Even a Six Star Saint expert would have to use all of his strength to defend against it.
However, in Chu Mu's eyes, such a sword technique was too crude compared to his self-created sword style.
Not only was Huyan Zhengting's attack ineffective, but he had also received such an evaluation from Chu Mu. Not only was Huyan Zhengting not angry, his eyes even lit up.
"Second move, Sword Burial Style!" Huyan Zhengting said. His voice carried a very peculiar metallic texture. The metallic spirit sword in his hand also emitted a golden luster. It spread out, then instantly contracted and condensed on the sword. The metallic spirit sword trembled and emitted a buzzing sound.
An incomparably sharp aura spread out from the sword. The void under the sword seemed to be unable to be restrained and showed signs of being torn apart.
Chu Mu's eyes lit up.
Huyan Zhengting hadn't even displayed his swordsmanship yet, but he had already seen through some of its mysteries.
This move was called Sword Burial Style. It was most likely a sword move based on the spirit sword. It was a sword move that was closely related to the spirit sword in the hand. It maximized the power of the spirit sword without damaging the spirit sword itself.
Strictly speaking, this wasn't a sword move. It was just a technique that maximized the power of the spirit sword in the hand. However, it could also be regarded as a sword move.
An astonishing sharpness rippled outwards as Huyan Zhengting swung his sword. This sword seemed to be a very ordinary sword. When it was swung, it didn't seem to have any special technique. However, a golden ray of light about the thickness of a finger instantly cut through the air and slashed towards Chu Mu as if nothing could stop it.
Chu Mu could clearly feel the sharpness of the sword. It was invincible.
The Sword Burial Style's power was many times stronger than the Silent Falling Snow, capable of killing a Six-star True Saint with a single slash, and even threatening a mid-level Six-star True Saint.
However, Chu Mu's strength wasn't something an ordinary Six Star Saint expert could compare to.
As he raised his sword, thousands of clouds appeared. The Sword Burial Style's golden Sword Light suddenly fell into the clouds. It was as if it had fallen into a swamp. Its speed was slightly affected.
A silent Sword Light appeared. The condensed Sword Light had an astonishing power that could pierce through everything. In an instant, it collided with the golden Sword Light.
There was no earth-shattering explosion. There was only a slight tremor. The moment the aftershock spread out, the golden Sword Light was pierced through by Chu Mu's Cloud Piercing Sword Style.
The Cloud Piercing Sword Style's aftershock didn't dissipate. It still pierced towards Huyan Zhengxiong at an astonishing speed.
Huyan Zhengxiong realized that the sword was too fast. It was so fast that he couldn't dodge it. Especially when he performed the Sword Burial Style, there was a momentary pause. This momentary pause was extremely short, but it was unavoidable. It was seized by his opponent.
Was it a coincidence?
Or was it deliberate?
Huyan Zhengting felt that it was the latter.
That sword was filled with an incomparably shocking sword-light. It pierced through the void and pierced towards Huyan Zhengting's forehead. Huyan Zhengting could clearly feel a tearing pain coming from his forehead. That was because his opponent's sword was too sharp.
The sword stopped at his forehead. The tip of the sword touched his forehead, but it didn't pierce through. However, the feeling of being pierced through made Huyan Zhengting's hair stand on end. His scalp went numb and his primordial spirit trembled.
Chu Mu didn't kill Huyan Zhengting because Huyan Zhengting wasn't his enemy.
"Thank you, True Sword Marquis, for your advice." Huyan Zhengting withdrew his sword and saluted Chu Mu with a serious face. It was a salute of three swords.
One had to know that he and Chu Mu were of the same generation. A salute of one sword was enough. A salute of three swords was completely treating Chu Mu as a senior expert, an expert worthy of respect. The Hermit King and the others in the distance were stunned.
Perhaps it was because of Huyan Zhengting's personality, or perhaps it was because of his background, but his temperament was cold. Geniuses like Huyan Zhengxiong couldn't even dream of receiving a salute of one sword from him. Huyan Zhengting also wouldn't pay attention to ordinary seniors.
However, at this moment, he actually saluted Chu Mu with three swords. It was shocking.
Chu Mu calmly accepted the salute and said, "Silent Snowfall is too beautiful. The Sword Burial Style is good. Its power can be more concentrated."
Rather than a battle between the two of them, it was more accurate to say that Huyan Zhengting was asking for guidance.
In terms of attainments in the Way of the Sword, Chu Mu was far superior to his peers. Even Gu Luankong, Huyan Zhengting and the others couldn't compare to him.
Chu Mu didn't find it strange that someone who was devoted to the sword and the path of the sword would perform the three sword salutes to him. Even though Huyan Zhengting seemed very cold, this coldness was only because his heart was on the path of the sword.
"True Sword Marquis, I will come to find you again." Huyan Zhengting said and turned to leave. His words weren't threatening at all. He was just telling Chu Mu that he would come to find him again in the future. It was probably to ask for guidance again.
…
"True Sword Marquis …"
"What terrifying talent in the Way of the Sword."
"The only terrifying Sword Cultivator in all of history."
"I reckon that it won't be long before his strength surpasses mine." The Sword Of Gojoseon sighed.
For a powerful Nine-star Sword Saint to say this was enough to shock others.
However, Chu Mu was worthy of such an evaluation.
"I think that His Majesty has made a very good decision. It's very beneficial to our dynasty."
"With the True Sword Marquis' talent in the Way of the Sword, given enough time to grow, he will at least be a peerless expert in the future. Moreover, he will be the strongest among the peerless experts."
The princes discussed as they returned to the Imperial Capital.
Chu Mu also re-entered the flying ship and flew in the direction of the True Sword Sect.
Although Huyan Zhengting's strength wasn't comparable to his, he was already very strong. He was a monstrous genius in the Way of the Sword. Moreover, Chu Mu felt that his Sword Burial Style was quite good.
Riding on the flying ship, Chu Mu continued to comprehend what he had gained from the Hundred Year Secret Realm.
After a hundred years of cultivation, he had accumulated a lot of potential. In the future, he could slowly transform it.
Soon, more than ten days passed.
The imperial flying ship stopped outside the True Sword Sect. After Chu Mu flew out of the flying ship, the flying ship turned around and left.
When he left the sect, a large group of people were kneeling outside the sect to repent. Now, they were all gone.
Chu Mu couldn't help but shake his head. From the time he left until he returned, only a month had passed. A month's time, to normal people, may be very long, but to cultivators, it wasn't much.
Since they came to repent, they couldn't even last a month. There was no sincerity at all.
Of course, even if they had the sincerity to continue kneeling and repenting, Chu Mu wouldn't give them the chance to return to the True Sword Sect.
If the rising True Sword Sect was willing, they would only need to open their doors once more to recruit a group of talented and determined disciples. They would not be ungrateful wretches who would abandon the sect at a critical moment and run away at a critical moment.
The reason why Chu Mu didn't plan to open the sect to recruit disciples now was because he wanted to nurture the disciples who didn't abandon the sect at a critical moment. He wanted them to grow as quickly as possible and strengthen the True Sword Sect. When the True Sword Sect was strong enough, he would recruit new disciples.
"Disciples greet the sect master." When the four disciples guarding the sect saw Chu Mu, they hurriedly bowed excitedly.
"When did those people leave?" Chu Mu asked.
"Sect master, those people didn't leave." One of the disciples guarding the sect replied. The four of them all showed surprise and indignation. This made Chu Mu realize that something had happened in the True Sword Sect during the month he wasn't there.
"Tell me what you know," Chu Mu said.
"Yes, Sect Master, the situation is like this." A disciple who was guarding the mountain gate immediately explained in detail, and the other three supplemented for him.
From what they said, Chu Mu gradually understood the situation.
It turned out that around ten days after he left the True Sword Marquis on the imperial family's flying ship, a group of people arrived outside. There were three waves in total.
These people claimed to have a very deep relationship with the True Sword Sect. Just like the True Sword Sect, they were a branch left behind after the True God Sword Sect was destroyed. Because they heard of the True Sword Sect's reputation and found out about its origins, they specially rushed over from other regions to meet up with the True Sword Sect.
As for the disciples kneeling outside the sect, they were allowed to return to the True Sword Sect by the three waves of people.
This was only a rough process, but Chu Mu could imagine it. His face couldn't help but sink.
