Dozens of sinners on the Dark Iron level were just the vanguard. Behind them, more sinners rushed forward.
Chu Mu and Long Yunkong were only two people. They represented two hearts.
To the sinners, the heart was the most delicious food, and it was also what they pursued. There were two hearts, but there were dozens of sinners. How were they going to split them?
Of course, they would snatch them. The heart would belong to whoever grabbed it first and stuffed it into his mouth.
At this time, they felt like two people facing a group of mad dogs. Ordinary people would be frightened and unable to summon any strength, but Chu Mu and Long Yunkong did not feel the slightest bit of fear. Dozens of sinners on the Dark Iron level were just like ants to them.
"Brother Chu, let's have a competition to see who can get more hearts. The loser will give the hearts he got from killing sinners to the winner. What do you think?" Long Yunkong said with a smile. Before Chu Mu answered, he rushed forward first. His right hand touched the void, and a Sword Light suddenly burst out. It was dazzling and sharp, tearing the night apart.
Since they were going to compete, Long Yunkong would not go easy on Chu Mu because he was only at the beginning of the Four-star Martial Saint level. On the other hand, he also wanted to know whether Chu Mu had the strength to kill a Seven-star Martial Saint with his own strength or the power of a treasure.
Chu Mu did not refuse Long Yunkong's challenge.
He clenched his right hand, and the Spiritual Flame jumped out. The Spiritual Sword was unsheathed.
At this moment, there were already a few Black Iron sinners leading the charge. Their sharp claws pierced towards Chu Mu's heart. Once he was hit, his chest could be torn open and his heart would be dug out.
The Sword Light flashed. Chu Mu did not use the Sword Origin. He just drove the power of his Level Five Divine Body. In an instant, the tip of the sword trembled countless times, and the trajectory of the sword changed countless times. One by one, black hearts were picked out.
With one sword, he killed several sinners on the Dark Iron level and directly picked out their hearts.
To Sinners, the heart was the source of their strength and life. Once they lost their heart, their powerful strength and other things would be gone forever.
On the other side, Long Yunkong's sword light drifted like a white cloud. As it changed, it also killed several sinners. However, his sword cut off their heads before digging out their hearts.
The sinners had strong vitality, and their biggest weakness was their heart. Their head was their second weakness. Therefore, after their heads were cut off, the sinners would instinctively launch a final attack. Those who didn't know would probably be hit by the final attack. However, Long Yunkong had hunted sinners many times, so he was well aware of their characteristics. Besides, how could a mere black-iron-level sinner threaten him?
However, Long Yunkong had caught a glimpse of Chu Mu's sword just now. His heart shivered. That sword was even simpler and more direct than his own. One sword took out the hearts of several sinners, instead of killing the sinners first before taking out their hearts. The difference in strength was obvious.
"Brother Chu's swordsmanship is unimaginable," Long Yunkong said to himself. He wasn't jealous at all. He just sighed with emotion. He had misjudged Ye Xuan before.
He was afraid that he was not the only one who misjudged. Others who had seen Chu Mu practice basic swordsmanship a few days ago probably also thought that Chu Mu's swordsmanship was unsightly.
Who would have thought that his swordsmanship would be so exquisite?
Ye Xuan was peerless.
Long Yunkong admired Ye Xuan very much. At the same time, his fighting spirit was aroused. He must not be compared to Chu Mu.
For a moment, Long Yunkong seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. He was full of motivation. His swordsmanship was faster, more powerful, and more exquisite than usual.
Chu Mu didn't know what Long Yunkong was thinking. Every time he attacked, he would definitely pick out several hearts. Soon, more than 20 Dark Iron sinners were all killed by him. The other 20 sinners were also killed by Long Yunkong's sword.
The next batch of sinners had also rushed over.
The two of them cooperated and competed. The prize of the competition was naturally the heart they obtained from killing the sinner. In other words, once the victor was decided, one side wouldn't obtain any substantial gains from the hunt, while the other would obtain nearly double the gains. Such a good thing was something Chu Mu was naturally very happy about.
More and more Dark Iron-ranked Sinners rushed from the front, forming an encirclement.
Both Chu Mu and Long Yunkong's sword attack speed was very fast, and the speed at which they killed sinners was also very fast. However, they were still not as fast as sinners appearing. Soon, the two of them were separated and surrounded.
Fortunately, they were only Dark Iron sinners and were not a big threat. If they were surrounded by Bronze-level sinners, they would have to be careful.
Being surrounded, the two were not afraid at all. Instead, they attacked more fiercely.
With a whoosh, the Sword Light suddenly flashed. Several sinners trembled and their hearts were picked out. While they were still rolling in the air, the Sword Light directly drew a circle. It was as if the sky and the water were intersecting. After one circle, more hearts were sent flying.
Chu Mu seemed to have made a cut, but the tip of the sword changed countless times in an instant. Every time, it pierced the sinner's chest and picked out the heart.
Long Yunkong tried and found that he couldn't do it at all. It required absolute control of the sword in hand and profound attainments in swordsmanship. After a try, Long Yunkong found it very difficult and obscure. His smooth swordsmanship suddenly encountered an unexpected resistance, which almost caused him to be hit in the heart by the sharp claws of a Dark Iron sinner.
Long Yunkong had no choice but to give up on such a method and perform his best swordsmanship.
When the Sword Light struck out, white clouds swirled and surged. Beams of Sword Light shuttled back and forth. Each beam of Sword Light was the convergence of power. It was so powerful that it pierced through the sinners' heads and brains, crushing their wills. They suddenly became like walking corpses and their reflexes decreased.
Under the slashes of Sword Light, the sinners' bodies were cut open, revealing their hearts.
Such a swordsmanship was very powerful and mysterious. With one move, it killed more than 20 Dark Iron sinners. However, the sinners weren't afraid at all. Instead, they surged forward from all directions, as if their ferocity had been aroused.
Chu Mu, on the other hand, didn't use any powerful sword technique because there was no need for it. If he used a powerful sword technique, he would indeed be able to instantly kill more sinners. The problem was that if he couldn't directly pick out the sinner's heart, it would undoubtedly lower his efficiency. Like right now, with each strike, he would definitely pick out four or five hearts. He could also train his Energy Unification technique as well as the sword energy's vibration, killing several birds with one stone.
Countless Black Iron-ranked sinners fell to the ground, but the sinners that rushed in from behind quickly replaced them. There was no end to their numbers.
The Dark Night Period was more suitable for sinners than the Gray Snow Period. The night was their world.
The Sinners had always disliked light and preferred darkness. This was also why the Sinners would return to their underground caves to sleep when they reached the Blazing Sun Stage. Not only did they dislike light, but being in the light would also increase the consumption of their energy, making them even weaker.
Although the sinners didn't seem to have any intelligence to humans, they had their own instincts to judge whether the environment was beneficial to them or not.
During the Dark Night Period, the sinners' power would be constantly replenished. Even if they used their full strength, they wouldn't be drained much. On the contrary, if they could eat hearts, they could accumulate power for themselves and strengthen themselves.
The Dark Iron hearts were constantly picked up by Chu Mu's sword and flew into Chu Mu's Space Ring.
Suddenly, an even louder roar rang out. It was like rolling thunder, and the roar came from the distance in a mighty manner.
The aura contained in the roar far exceeded that of the Dark Iron sinners.
The Bronze sinners had finally woken up and left the underground caves.
Bronze Sinners were not only far stronger than Black Iron Sinners, but their sixth sense was also far better than Black Iron Sinners. The moment they woke up, they could sense the aura of a living person with the help of the dark night environment. The sound of their heartbeats and the sound of their Qi and blood flowing could be heard clearly.
They could sense aura fluctuations more clearly than Dark Iron sinners.
The Dark Iron sinners surged forward like a tide. Chu Mu and Long Yunkong fought with all their might and kept harvesting.
"Brother Chu, the Bronze Heart is far more valuable than the Dark Iron Heart. Now that the Bronze sinners have woken up, I suggest we retreat into the Bronze Earth," Long Yunkong said as he closed in on Chu Mu.
"Okay." Chu Mu had no objections.
The value of killing a Bronze-level Sinner was comparable to the value of killing ten thousand Black-Iron Sinners. Up until now, the total number of Black-Iron Sinners that the two of them had killed was probably less than a thousand.
The hearts of a thousand Dark Iron sinners were only one-tenth of the value of a Bronze Heart.
Immediately, the two of them brandished their swords and broke through the encirclement of the Black Iron-level Sinners. Even though the Black Iron-level Sinners continued to surge over from all directions, the two of them were unable to effectively stop them as they deliberately tried to break through the encirclement.
Not long after, Chu Mu and Long Yunkong fought their way out of the encirclement of the Black Iron sinners. Using their speed, they quickly ran across the Black Iron ground. The group of Black Iron sinners were like mad dogs, roaring as they chased after them.
However, they couldn't catch up with Chu Mu and Long Yunkong's speed.
Soon, Chu Mu and Long Yunkong both crossed the Dark Iron ground and entered the Bronze Earth. The Dark Iron sinners who were chasing after them stopped in front of the Bronze Earth. They seemed to be very afraid and didn't dare to take a step forward. However, under the collision of the Dark Iron sinners who were chasing after them, some of them couldn't help but step into the Bronze Earth. To Chu Mu's surprise, there seemed to be a force in the Bronze Earth that rushed into the bodies of the Dark Iron sinners, causing them to tremble and then explode.
