One of them was Zheng Tiejun, the Commander of the Iron-Wing Army from the Iron-Wing Camp. The other was the Elder Snow Sword Saint from the Snowfall Camp.
It could be said that there was hatred between the two of them and Chu Mu. One of them had killed a soldier in the army, and the other had killed his disciple. They had good reasons to seek revenge on Chu Mu. Unfortunately, their real purpose was not revenge, but the so-called treasure that Chu Mu had that could enhance their strength. Revenge was just a pretense.
Benefits could move people's hearts. If they did not move, it was because they did not have enough benefits.
The two of them were of a relatively high status among the practitioners in the Land of Exile. After all, there were five cities and dozens of camps, but there were many practitioners. One of them was the Elder of the Snowfall Camp, and the other had an even higher status. He was the leader of a camp.
Chu Mu did not expect that he would attract the attention of the two of them.
Zheng Tiejun was a middle-aged man with a big beard. His face was full of valiant spirit, and he was surrounded by a kind of bloody spirit that he would not regret even if he died. It was as if he would go to the battlefield to fight with a strong enemy at any time.
The Melting Snow Sword Saint was a skinny old man with a gray beard. However, his eyes were dark and narrowed, flashing with a frightening light. The spirit around him seemed to have turned into pieces of snowflakes spiraling around him. This kind of spirit ensured that he could release the strongest power as soon as he drew out his sword.
Zheng Tiejun and the Melting Snow Sword Saint faced each other on the left and right. At the same time, they each separated a beam of Sword Intent and locked onto Chu Mu, because Chu Mu was their main target.
Chu Mu also found that the two of them had the same cultivation. They were both at the high level of the Nine-star Saint Realm. However, in terms of strength, Zheng Tiejun was probably more powerful. But if it was a life-and-death battle, it would take some time. In the end, even if Zheng Tiejun won, he would not come out unscathed.
The two of them would not fight easily, but they would not back down either.
"Zheng Tiejun, you only killed a few warriors. But I only killed two of my apprentices." The Melting Snow Sword Saint said. What he meant was that Zheng Tiejun had a lot of warriors, so it was not a big deal that a few of them were killed. If he knew that his two disciples were killed by Chu Mu, he probably would not be so calm.
"Every soldier is a member of my army. They are all my brothers. I, Zheng Tiejun, can't kill any of them." Zheng Tiejun said resolutely. If the soldiers of the Ironwing Army were to hear this, they would probably shed tears of gratitude and do their best.
"Commander Zheng, once we fight, this kid will most likely seize the opportunity to escape." The Melting Snow Sword Saint narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze over Chu Mu's face. He spoke darkly and his aura became even colder, "From what I see, why don't we cripple this child first and then we can fight to see who is better."
"Alright." Zheng Tiejun agreed without hesitation, causing Chu Mu to feel a chill in his heart.
He was not a match for just one of them. He would definitely be crushed. Now he was facing two of them.
Being crippled was not an outcome that Chu Mu was willing to accept.
"Looks like I can only take the risk or use the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal." Chu Mu thought. His body trembled slightly. It was not out of fear, but a kind of excitement that came from the depths of his bones. It was the kind of excitement that would only appear when facing a strong crisis. Only such a person would become stronger when facing a strong opponent and continue to advance.
However, before taking the risk or using the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal, Chu Mu still planned to fight for an opportunity for himself.
"Gentlemen, I don't have any treasures that can increase my strength," Chu Mu said.
"Oh." Zheng Tiejun and Melting Snow Sword Saint both looked at Chu Mu. They were extremely shocked. Under the lock of their sword intents, this four star initial stage saint rank was still able to speak.
"Do you mean to say that your strength that is comparable to a seven-star Saint is completely your own strength and not relying on any treasures?" The Melting Snow Sword Saint said with a faint smile. This kind of expression appeared on his skinny face, and it immediately gave people a very sinister feeling.
"That's the truth," Chu Mu said very honestly. Unfortunately, even though he was speaking the truth, no one would believe him.
Without a true understanding, who would believe that a four-star beginner Saint had the strength of a seven-star Saint? It was simply nonsense.
"No matter which it is, you only have two paths." Zheng Tiejun stared at Chu Mu with murderous eyes. "First, you can be crippled by us and be distributed in the end. Second, you can fight with us. If you win, you can naturally leave."
"Why don't you retreat and let me leave? In the future, I won't find trouble with you." Chu Mu said. It was impossible for him to deal with a nine-star Saint with his current strength, but it was definitely possible in the future.
If these two people really forced him, Chu Mu would have to take the risk or use the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal no matter how wasteful it was. In this way, these two people would definitely be regarded as enemies by Chu Mu in the future, and he would definitely take revenge.
Although he was speaking the truth, Zheng Tiejun and the Melting Snow Sword Saint found it very laughable.
"Looks like we can only cripple you first to make you obedient." The Melting Snow Sword Saint laughed strangely. He did not give Chu Mu any chance to speak, and directly attacked.
He used his fingers like a sword and slashed out. As snowflakes danced in the air, a grey-white sword light with shocking coldness tore through the air and swept through Chu Mu's body. In an instant, he felt as if he was in a world of ice and snow. The coldness was bone-chilling, and the coldness seemed to come from within his body.
This sword was not fatal. Chu Mu could see that the Melting Snow Sword Saint's target was his meridians. He wanted to use the cold Sword Qi to freeze and destroy his meridians.
Once his meridians were destroyed, he would not be able to use his Origin Power. For a cultivator of the Origin Power Way, it was equivalent to being crippled.
It was too fast. Chu Mu activated his Primordial Spirit and raised his six senses to the maximum. He used the Sword Qi Shadow and dodged the Melting Snow Sword Saint's attack at the critical moment. However, he was still affected. Traces of coldness seeped into his body like maggots and entered his meridians.
Chu Mu quickly mobilized the Divine Wilderness Sword Essence to attack the traces of coldness. However, the Divine Wilderness Sword Essence was quickly defeated.
Although Chu Mu cultivated a Divine Level Cultivation Technique and the Divine Wilderness Sword Essence was very powerful, his cultivation level was too low. The difference between the Fourth Sky of the Aeon and the Ninth Sky of the Aeon was countless times.
Furthermore, the Melting Snow Sword Saint's Cultivation Technique was not ordinary. In addition to the other powers in his body, the coldness formed by the combination was extremely powerful. It was not something that the Divine Wilderness Sword Essence could contend against.
He increased the output of the Divine Wilderness Sword Essence and used quantity to fight against the coldness. The Divine Wilderness Sword Essence was quickly depleted.
"He actually dodged my attack …" The Melting Snow Sword Saint was in disbelief. Even if he did not use his full strength, the sword attack just now was very mysterious. Zheng Tiejun was also very surprised.
A Four-Star Martial Saint was actually able to dodge the attack of a Nine-Star Martial Saint. He was very clear about the power of the Melting Snow Sword Saint's attack.
However, the two of them could also see that Chu Mu was in a difficult situation. He had dodged the Melting Snow Sword Saint's attack but had fallen into a difficult situation. There was no way for him to dodge the second attack.
The Melting Snow Sword Saint laughed sinisterly and attacked again. He slashed out with his sword finger and an even thicker greyish-white Sword Qi instantly shot out. It swept across the sky and shot towards Chu Mu. The power of this attack was even stronger. Once it hit, Chu Mu would definitely not be able to escape. His meridians would immediately be sealed in ice. Even his Martial Saint body would be sealed in ice and he would become a cripple.
Chu Mu's Divine Wilderness Sword Essence was resisting the coldness in his body. Seeing the second greyish-white Sword Qi shoot towards him, he gritted his teeth and planned to use the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal.
The Sword Sect Spiritual Seal only had two chances left. One was to summon a peak Eight-Star Martial Saint and the other was to summon Bai Ling.
Based on the current situation, a peak Eight-Star Martial Saint was completely useless. No matter how strong he was, he would not be a match for the two of them.
Then, he could only summon Bai Ling.
Chu Mu guessed that Bai Ling was a Saint King level existence. Using a Saint King level existence to deal with two Nine-Star Martial Saints was hilarious. It felt like using a missile to kill ants.
However, Chu Mu had no choice but to use it. Under such circumstances, he could not take the risk even if he wanted to.
Although the chance to summon a Saint King was very precious, it was still more precious than his own life.
Just as Chu Mu planned to use the Sword Sect Spiritual Seal to summon Bai Ling, the greyish-white Sword Qi that shot over suddenly seemed to be hit by an invisible force. It instantly collapsed and dissipated.
The Melting Snow Sword Saint and Zheng Tiejun were shocked. Chu Mu also sensed that something unexpected seemed to have happened and stopped summoning Bai Ling.
"Who is it?" The Melting Snow Sword Saint said sternly. His eyes shone with an extremely sharp light. He swept his gaze across and it was like a sharp sword piercing through the void.
Zheng Tiejun did not say anything, but his aura instantly soared. His iron-blooded aura became even more intense.
Chu Mu had finally defeated all the coldness that had invaded his body. The Divine Wilderness Sword Essence was also mostly used up. He was waiting. If there was a chance of survival, he would definitely grab hold of it immediately.
Faced with the Melting Snow Sword Saint's question and Zheng Tiejun's soaring aura, no one answered.
Soon after, Zheng Tiejun suddenly drew his sword. A scarlet Sword Light that was like lava surged and slashed towards Chu Mu. The moment he drew his sword, Chu Mu felt a shocking heat invade his body. It was as if it was going to burn all his internal organs.
However, before this Lava Sword Light could hit Chu Mu, it seemed to be hit by a force and instantly dissipated.
This time, Zheng Tiejun and the Melting Snow Sword Saint were even more certain that someone was secretly attacking.
Just who was it?
Soon after, Chu Mu discovered that Zheng Tiejun and the Melting Snow Sword Saint's faces twitched slightly. Fear surged into their eyes. They glanced at Chu Mu unwillingly before actually turning around and leaving quickly.
Even an idiot could tell that something was wrong. Chu Mu was not an idiot. On the contrary, he was very smart. As a result, he knew that someone had definitely secretly attacked. Furthermore, it was extremely likely that Zheng Tiejun and the Melting Snow Sword Saint already knew the identity of the person who had secretly attacked. They were extremely fearful, which was why they had voluntarily left.
