Darkness quickly spread from all directions, like a tide sweeping over.
The Heavenly Ancient Sacred Hall was already surrounded by darkness, as though it was being devoured. The darkness kept on surging. It chased after Chu Mu silently from behind and from the left and right. It kept on shrinking.
Chu Mu could feel that the cold aura of darkness was surging towards him from all directions. He felt a strong sense of danger. It was as though there was a terrifying beast of darkness that wanted to devour him silently.
In the face of danger, Chu Mu's speed was pushed to the limit and he increased it a little.
Many gazes fell on Chu Mu. Many people were rejoicing in his misfortune.
They all felt that Chu Mu had obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Ancient Sacred Emperor and his future was limitless. They were jealous and they naturally hoped that Chu Mu would be devoured by the darkness and fall into the void of darkness, unable to leave.
No one was willing to have such a monstrous talent above their heads.
It could be said that being born in the same era as such a monstrous talent was an honour, but it was also a tragedy to be shrouded in darkness.
Of course, Gu Luankong and the other two were an exception. They looked at Chu Mu anxiously, hoping that Chu Mu would be able to rush out in time. Other than hoping, they had no other choice. They couldn't help at all.
One hundred thousand meters wasn't long. However, Chu Mu felt that it was extremely long, as though there was no end to it.
He ran at full speed and didn't dare to relax. Instead, he kept on bursting forth, digging out his potential and increasing his speed as much as possible.
However, the power of darkness that was surging towards him from the left and right were getting faster and denser.
"He's coming out soon." Gu Luankong, Yang Zhantian and Lian Hongyun unconsciously clenched their fists. A tinge of joy flashed across their nervous faces.
Yes, Chu Mu was about to rush out of the range. According to his current speed and the speed of the darkness, he could definitely rush out of the encirclement after the darkness engulfed him.
At this time, Zheng Li suddenly moved. He stretched out his hand and grabbed at the void in front of him like an eagle's claw. Three incomparably sharp claw shadows instantly broke through the air and grabbed at Chu Mu.
This attack was just a casual attack from Zheng Li. His goal wasn't to kill Chu Mu, because that wouldn't be satisfying enough. His goal was to disrupt Chu Mu and interrupt Chu Mu's advance so that he could dodge his attack.
Chu Mu's current speed was almost the same as the speed at which the darkness was spreading. He could rush out before the darkness completely covered him, but the moment he was disturbed, the balance would be broken. At that time, he would not be able to rush out of the encirclement of darkness.
Leaving him in the dark void to be tortured by the dark void was much better than killing him directly.
Even Kong Liu and Lei Ba were unable to stop Zheng Li's sudden attack.
The two of them thought highly of Chu Mu and hoped that Chu Mu could grow up. Therefore, they took the initiative to admit defeat in the final battle in the Heavenly Ancient Sacred Hall. Otherwise, if they continued to fight, the outcome would be unpredictable.
They had never expected that the person they thought highly of would fall into such a predicament.
It was the dark void. Although it was said that exceptional experts could come out alive after entering it, it wasn't that easy. Even though Chu Mu had battle techniques comparable to exceptional experts, his strength was limited. The difference between his cultivation level and that of an exceptional expert was still too great.
An intense sense of danger rushed over from the front, causing Chu Mu's pupils to shrink instantly.
Even though it was just a casual attack from Zheng Li, the difference between an exceptional expert and a Sacred was still too great. Facing Zheng Li's casual attack, Chu Mu had to take it seriously.
With both swords in his hands, he slashed out. Beams of cross-shaped sword light overlapped, but they were all shattered by the sharp claws. The difference in strength between the two was too obvious. It was like comparing a diamond and charcoal.
Even if it was just a small piece of diamond, it was far better than a large truck of charcoal.
However, Chu Mu's continuous attacks were able to stop Zheng Li's claw attacks. However, he couldn't face them head on. Even if he could, Chu Mu's speed would definitely be affected and he would come to a halt.
His mind was unprecedentedly focused. In his eyes, the speed of the claw shadow seemed to have slowed down several times. In fact, the speed of the claw shadow hadn't decreased at all. It was just a visual change caused by Chu Mu's high level of concentration.
His reaction speed was also raised to the extreme in an instant.
Sword Qi Shadow!
Ever since Chu Mu had created the Sword Qi Shadow, it had been used in battle after battle. Similarly, it had been constantly perfected and improved.
At the moment, the Sword Qi Shadow that Chu Mu had displayed had reached an extreme. It was an extreme that he couldn't achieve under normal circumstances.
The extreme Sword Qi Shadow instantly dodged Zheng Li's claw shadow. The Sword Qi Shadow was shattered by the claw shadow. Chu Mu's speed didn't decrease at all. Instead, it increased by a little.
Gu Luankong and the other two heaved a sigh of relief.
While Zheng Li was astonished, he actually attacked again. However, this time, Kong Liu and Lei Ba reacted quickly and stopped Zheng Li's attack.
Chu Mu was safe. He was only a few hundred meters away from breaking out of the encirclement of the dark void.
However, something that no one had expected happened.
The peerless expert You Hou, who had been waiting at the side, suddenly moved. He flicked his finger and shot out a wisp of finger wind. That wisp of finger wind was incomparably sharp and abnormally fast. It shot towards Chu Mu. Chu Mu's mind was still highly focused. He once again displayed the Sword Qi Shadow to dodge. However, although the power of this attack wasn't strong enough, it was very mysterious. It was an attack that You Hou had been prepared for.
The moment Chu Mu displayed the Sword Qi Shadow, You Hou's wisp of finger wind instantly split into dozens of wisps that covered the area in front of him. They completely covered Chu Mu's real body and the Sword Qi Shadow.
The Sword Qi Shadow was penetrated. Chu Mu couldn't display the Sword Qi Shadow for a second time in a short period of time. Also, due to the constant pressure from the surrounding darkness, the distance he could move was limited. Chu Mu was enveloped by You Hou's wisp of finger wind.
In other words, You Hou's wisp of finger wind didn't seem very powerful. However, he had already calculated everything.
Helpless, Chu Mu could only take it head-on.
When he displayed the Six Daos Sword Style, six black vortexes appeared and devoured the wisps of finger wind. The wisps of finger wind were easily devoured. However, the Six Daos Sword Style revealed another flaw. That was, he couldn't move when he was displaying it.
Chu Mu could only stop. The moment he stopped, his speed was greatly affected. The surrounding darkness pressed down on him. When Chu Mu moved again, the darkness had already surrounded Chu Mu.
Chu Mu was surrounded by the darkness of the void, as if he was being devoured.
Gu Luankong and the other two turned pale.
"You Hou, you're courting death!" Lei Ba roared furiously.
However, You Hou ignored Lei Ba. After he displayed the wisp of finger wind and saw Chu Mu being devoured by the void of darkness, he immediately burrowed into the ground. He erupted with his full speed and left quickly in a strange manner.
He wasn't willing to face a peerless expert like Lei Ba, who was stronger than him. Of course, he had his own methods. Lei Ba's battle prowess was indeed stronger than his, but it was impossible for Lei Ba to kill him.
Moreover, Lei Ba wouldn't make an enemy out of him for someone who wasn't related to him. As long as he left in time, Lei Ba wouldn't chase after him.
You Hou's idea wasn't wrong. Although Lei Ba was furious, he didn't chase after You Hou burrowed into the ground.
It was true that he admired Chu Mu, and it was also true that he was willing to befriend him. However, that was under the condition that he was still alive. If he was dead, then he was dead. There would be nothing left, let alone a future.
He wasn't related to Chu Mu. Therefore, it wasn't worthwhile for him to chase after a peerless expert. Moreover, although You Hou's battle prowess wasn't very strong, his life-saving ability was amazing. His ability to burrow into the ground had allowed him to avoid many dangers. Even if he joined forces with Kong Liu, it wouldn't be that easy to kill You Hou.
Seeing Chu Mu being devoured by the void of darkness, Zheng Li revealed a cold smile. Immediately, he retreated and flew into the air, as if he had transformed into a goshawk. In the blink of an eye, he exploded with astonishing speed and left.
You Hou left, and so did Zheng Li. Obviously, they had achieved their goal.
Kong Liu didn't stop them. His thoughts were similar to Lei Ba's.
"What a pity." Kong Liu sighed softly.
"Yeah, what a pity." Lei Ba also sighed.
Although there was no lack of geniuses in the Deep Blue World, monstrous geniuses were different. Monstrous geniuses who were known as once-in-a-lifetime monstrous geniuses were very rare. Moreover, they felt that Chu Mu wasn't someone that could be compared to ordinary monstrous geniuses. He was definitely a genius that was of a higher level than ordinary monstrous geniuses. Otherwise, how could he possess the battle skills of a peerless expert when he was just a two-star Saint.
It was also because of this that they valued Chu Mu and were willing to make a little investment. They didn't expect that he would die before he had matured.
Perhaps Chu Mu was still alive, but he was living in the void of darkness. The void of darkness was a forbidden area that had nothing to do with battle skills. Even if Chu Mu had the battle skills of a Saint Emperor, as long as his cultivation base and realm weren't enough, he wouldn't be able to leave.
The void of darkness was terrifying. Even peerless experts wouldn't be willing to face it. The loneliness was enough to drive people crazy. It was unbearable. Even peerless experts would go crazy if they stayed in there for a long time.
"He's dead." Yan Zhengkang's lips curled into a smile.
"He's dead?" Yang Fan and the others were stunned.
Such a promising Sword Saint was going to die in the void of darkness just like that?
For a moment, they didn't know what to say. Whether it was pity or shock, they suddenly felt that life was fragile. No matter how peerless you were when you were alive, you would have nothing once you died.
Pity, pity, it was really a pity.
