(Legend has it that Christmas Eve is also known as the night of losing one's virginity. One must take good safety precautions.)
The blazing Sword Light, which was like flowing lava, slashed the Sinners with terrifying power.
The strong bodies of the Dark Iron Sinners were unable to resist the sword at all. Like a hot knife cutting through butter, they were sliced open in an instant, unable to resist at all.
With one sword strike, more than a dozen Dark Iron Sinners were killed, which slightly reduced the pressure on the surrounding Ironwing Army soldiers.
The one who attacked was one of the eight commanders of the Ironwing Army. He had the strength of a Nine-star Saint, powerful Level Eight Sword Power, and exquisite Ironblood Swordsmanship, which gave him unparalleled strength. His opponent was a powerful Sinner.
Their bodies were slightly smaller than the Black Iron-level Sinners, but they looked more exquisite and perfect. Their skin was not grayish-black or bronze, but silvery-white.
It was a Silver-level Sinner.
The weakest Silver-level Sinner had the strength of a Nine-star Saint. A powerful Silver-level Sinner could even easily kill an ordinary Nine-star Saint at the peak.
Compared to a Bronze-level Sinner, a Silver-level Sinner was stronger and faster. It moved like the wind, reacted quickly, and had shocking explosive power. Its combat skills had reached a higher level, and its skill in using power was even more amazing.
The commander himself was very strong. He was above average among the Nine-star Saints, but he could not do anything to the Silver-level Sinner. However, he could suppress it. Occasionally, he would help the other Ironwing Army soldiers kill Dark Iron or even Bronze-level Sinners with his sword.
To a powerful Sinner, the more powerful the cultivator's heart was, the more delicious it was. The more power it contained, and the more benefits it would bring to eating it. Naturally, powerful Sinners had no interest in weak cultivators. They would only attack weak cultivators when there were no powerful cultivators as their target.
To a Silver-level Sinner, only high-level Saint-level cultivators could arouse their interest. Middle-level and low-level Saint-level cultivators were like ants.
Therefore, in the process of attacking the camps, Silver-level Sinners would often target high-level Saints, especially Nine-Star Saints.
The aura fluctuations gradually spread further and further, attracting more and more Sinners. New Sinners constantly joined the attack. Some Sinners broke through the defensive line and entered the camp. The patrolling Ironwing Army soldiers caught up in time and killed them.
However, as more and more sinners broke through the encirclement, the pressure on the patrolling soldiers of the Ironwing Army increased. Under such circumstances, the other cultivators took action.
They had no choice but to take action because the sinners had their eyes on them. The sinners were not interested in the campsite at all. The damage they caused was merely the aftermath of the battle. They were only interested in the hearts of the cultivators.
As more and more sinners broke out of the encirclement, not only did the battle at the periphery of the camp become more intense, the battle within the camp also became more intense.
Those who were strong enough could naturally kill Sinners, but those who were not strong enough could only be killed by Sinners and have their hearts eaten by Sinners to increase their strength.
Chu Mu was still engaged in an intense battle with the Bronze-level Sinner.
Under his full concentration, Chu Mu gradually grasped the method of using the Sinner's power. However, this technique was much more advanced than the Dark Iron-level Sinners. For a time, Chu Mu was unable to grasp it.
After all, although a human's body and a Sinner's body looked similar, there was a huge difference in the details of the internal muscle structure. Therefore, in order to grasp the Sinner's power usage technique, one had to first understand, master, and study it. After that, one had to adjust it according to one's own body structure before finally grasping it.
"I've already grasped the power usage technique of this Bronze-level Sinner." Chu Mu thought to himself. Next, he would naturally kill this Bronze-level Sinner and obtain its Bronze Heart.
The value of a Bronze Heart was far higher than a Black Iron Heart. According to the exchange rate, a Bronze Heart was worth ten thousand Black Iron Hearts.
Chu Mu did not have many Black Iron Hearts at the moment. As the ransom, he had killed a total of fifteen Dark Iron-level Sinners, which meant that he had obtained fifteen Black Iron Hearts. In addition, there was the collection in Li Minghe's space ring. It was not rich. Most of them were Black Iron Hearts, and there were close to a thousand of them.
In other words, the Black Iron Hearts that Chu Mu currently had were at most a thousand. Its value was only one-tenth of a Bronze Heart.
The Sinners' weakness was very obvious. It was their hearts. As long as their hearts were dug out, they would lose their strength and die. This was different from cultivators. If a cultivator's heart was dug out, their Primordial Spirit would still exist and they would be able to survive as a Primordial Spirit. However, without their hearts, their bodies would lose their vitality, and their Primordial Spirit could only be stored elsewhere.
Chu Mu raised his sword. Clouds filled the air, and the Bronze Sinner's speed was slightly affected. In an instant, Chu Mu's sword stabbed out. A silent but extremely condensed Sword Light locked onto the Bronze Sinner's heart.
The Sinner's perception of danger was also very sharp. In an instant, it felt the threat of death, and it quickly stretched out its palm to block.
With a puchi sound, the Sinner's palm was pierced through by Chu Mu's sword. The tip of the sword pierced through the Sinner's chest, but it stopped before it reached the heart. The Bronze Sinner's body was strong, comparable to a Level 6 Sacred Body. When the sword pierced through its palm, it was met with great resistance.
It seemed like the Sinner could not feel pain. With its other hand, it ruthlessly attacked Chu Mu. Its sharp claws were cold as they pierced through the void.
In an instant, Chu Mu heard a tsunami-like sound in his ears. He had never heard this sound before. It came from the Bronze Sinner's body. No, it came from the Bronze Sinner's arm.
It felt as if the Bronze Sinner's arm had suddenly surged with power. It was a power that had not been there before. It was a power that had surged from within, and it was not the Sinner's physical strength.
The power of this attack was much stronger than any of the previous ones. It was many times stronger.
Chu Mu's expression turned cold. He was certain that if he was hit by this attack, his outcome would definitely be terrible.
He reacted instantly, drawing his sword to block the attack.
Amidst the ear-piercing sound of metal clashing, Chu Mu immediately felt an extremely tyrannical power directly bombarding the Blazing Brilliance Spirit Sword. The tyrannical power caused the sword to bend instantly, and it touched Chu Mu's chest.
Under the impact of the power, Chu Mu also felt a power that was different from his physical strength. At the same time that it struck the sword, part of it passed through the sword and bombarded his chest. A small part of it passed through his chest and blasted into his body, heading straight for his heart.
Fortunately, this power was not that strong after it had been weakened. It was also fortunate that Chu Mu's heart was strong enough and full of vitality. Otherwise, that attack would have been enough to injure his power.
In an instant, Chu Mu pulled away from the Bronze Sinner. His expression was somewhat solemn. It was as if that attack was enough to instantly kill an advanced seven-star Saint.
"If I'm not mistaken, that attack contained another kind of power in addition to physical strength. It was similar to elemental energy," Chu Mu said to himself.
Chu Mu had killed fifteen Dark Iron Sinners before, but he had not discovered any power outside of physical strength. Now, he felt a power outside of physical strength from a Bronze Sinner.
Simply put, if physical strength was an external power, then the power just now was an internal power, just like the power of the Sacred Body and elemental energy.
This new discovery made Chu Mu temporarily stop the idea of killing the Bronze Sinner.
As the battle continued, the Bronze Sinner did not use that power again. Chu Mu made a guess and once again used the Cloud Piercing Sword Style to threaten the Bronze Sinner.
Sure enough, the Bronze Sinner once again unleashed that power and attacked.
This time, Chu Mu's perception was even clearer. There was indeed a power, a violent power, that instantly rushed out from the Bronze Sinner's heart and rushed to its arm. It then combined with the Sinner's physical strength and condensed into a force that bombarded Chu Mu.
This time, Chu Mu was prepared. Therefore, he could have avoided it, but he did not. Instead, he blocked it and felt the impact of that power even more clearly.
"The Realm of Silence!" In an instant, Chu Mu entered the state he had previously comprehended, the Realm of Silence.
The moment he entered the Realm of Silence, he felt as if the surrounding environment had changed. The gray snow could no longer cause any disturbance to Chu Mu. On the contrary, Chu Mu had become like the gray snow, and his aura was the same.
In this state, his perception of the outside world suddenly increased by more than ten times.
With a perception increase of at least ten times, the Bronze Sinner's technique of using its power appeared even more clearly in Chu Mu's "eyes." Chu Mu's battle became even more flexible. As long as he wanted to, he could kill his opponent in an instant.
However, he did not do so. This was because Chu Mu's main goal was not to kill his opponent, but to study his opponent's power.
It went straight for the enemy's heart, making the enemy feel the threat of death. Under such circumstances, the bronze-grade sinner erupted once again. Violent power instantly rushed out from its heart and poured into its arms. In a strange way, the complex half-rotation, half-contraction, and half-impact method combined perfectly with its own physical strength.
The moment he sensed it, Chu Mu's eyes flashed with joy.
Chu Mu also knew how to combine his physical strength and elemental energy and release it all at once. However, he was certain that he would not be able to do it as well as this Bronze Sinner.
Using numbers as an analogy, if the physical strength and elemental energy that were released at the same time were one, then the combination of the two should theoretically reach two. However, Chu Mu knew that the power released by his combination would not reach two at all. There was still a big gap.
Although he did not know if the power of this Bronze Sinner's combination could reach the theoretical value, it was definitely better than Chu Mu's. This was another technique that he had to master.
