There was an endless stream of people coming and going in the huge Bloodbath City.
A figure shuttled through the crowd like a ghost, like a fish swimming against the current. His speed was extremely fast, and he seemed incomparably agile. Every time someone seemed to be moving in front of him, he would have already passed by, leaving behind a blurry back view.
Chu Mu's expression was calm, and not a trace of emotion could be seen. His eyes were apathetic, as cold as ancient cold steel. With each step he took, he could often cross several meters. His figure shuttled through the crowd with extreme agility.
Wherever he passed, the surrounding people seemed to feel a chill as he brushed past them.
His expression was calm and indifferent, but the more furious he was, the more his killing intent burned.
Not long ago, someone brought him a piece of news. His little maid Lin Biruo had been captured. If he wanted her to live, he had to rush to the pine forest ten li north of Bloodbath City within six hours. Otherwise, he would only be able to collect her corpse.
It was just a piece of news, and there was no mention of who it was.
But that wasn't important. What was important was that they dared to capture Lin Biruo to threaten him.
Chu Mu wasn't stupid. He knew that the other party's target was him. They wanted to lure him out of Bloodbath City before taking action. Then, those people could be the ones who had bid against him at the auction.
His cultivation base had reached the middle Sixth Sky of the Wangu Realm, and his strength had increased significantly. Chu Mu wanted to test how strong he had become.
… …
"Will he come?"
"Yeah, she's just a maid. Can she lure him out?"
"It doesn't matter. If he doesn't come out, we'll just kill him." The guard glanced at the unconscious Lin Biruo and said casually.
If Chu Mu didn't come, Lin Biruo would be killed by them. Then, they would think of other ways to lure Chu Mu out of Bloodbath City.
"Four hours have passed. If he can't make it in two more hours … Hehe."
"Six hours from the manor to here. Even with his cultivation base at the Seventh Sky of the Wangu Realm, it's still a bit difficult. If he really wants to make it here, he will definitely use up most of his energy."
This was also part of their plan.
They estimated Chu Mu's strength to be comparable to six stars. Therefore, a mid-stage Sixth Sky of the Aeon Realm was equivalent to a mid-level Eight Star Saint.
Furthermore, geniuses could fight across levels. Their strength was stronger than their cultivation, but cultivation was always a limitation.
A sixth level Aeon genius might not be any weaker than an eighth level Aeon genius, but their sword energy was definitely not as much as an eighth level Aeon genius.
It had to be said that in order to kill Chu Mu, they had done their homework. First, they would greatly exhaust Chu Mu's strength before killing him to avoid any accidents.
There was no room for error in the plan. Otherwise, if such a monster escaped and went into hiding to raise his cultivation and strength, the revenge he would exact upon them in the future would be unbearable.
Four hours passed.
A figure appeared in their line of sight.
"Haha, he's here."
"They actually came. Aren't they too stupid?"
"Hehe, maybe they're very confident in their own strength."
Chu Mu's speed was extremely fast. With a single step, he was more than ten meters away. He saw the four guards and the unconscious Lin Biruo.
She hadn't been killed yet.
Chu Mu was slightly relieved. Then, his indifferent eyes swept across the four guards' faces. For some reason, they felt a chill run down their spines.
"Five hours. You're an hour earlier than the time we set. It seems like you really care about this maid." Ying Wei sneered, "I wonder how much sword energy you have left."
Chu Mu's expression didn't change at all.
In fact, Chu Mu didn't use much energy to rush here from the manor in Bloodbath City.
This was because he could use the vibration of his muscles to instantly burst out with power. Especially after mastering the Energy Unification Technique to perfection, he could use the most energy-conserving method to achieve the greatest effect.
Therefore, when they saw Chu Mu walk a dozen meters in one step, it seemed as if he had used up a lot of energy. In reality, this wasn't the case. Moreover, his own energy recovery speed wasn't slow either. Therefore, after five hours of rushing here, he had only used up a small portion of his energy. Moreover, he was rapidly recovering. This was something Ying Wei and the others didn't know. Otherwise, they would have to replan.
However, they didn't have the chance to do so.
"Lin Ziqi, who else?" Chu Mu's voice was indifferent, like a cold wind blowing past.
"Go to hell with your questions." The Camp Guard coldly laughed, and his killing intent was awe-inspiring. The four of them flashed and formed a square encirclement, surrounding Chu Mu and pointing their swords at him.
Attack!
Four sharp Sword Light tore through the sky like lightning and thunder. The Sword Light was blazing with killing intent, attacking Chu Mu from all directions.
Any Eight Star Saint Realm expert would be injured if they were to face such an attack.
Unfortunately, Chu Mu's current strength was no longer limited to the eight-star Saint level.
The four Sword Light, no matter how sharp and powerful, did not escape Chu Mu's perception. The trajectory of the four Sword Light was completely captured by Chu Mu.
He clenched his right hand. Spiritual flames jumped and spread out, turning into a sword.
With the Blazing Glory Spiritual Sword in hand, his killing intent suddenly gushed out like a volcanic eruption.
The terrifying killing intent invaded the surroundings, enveloping the four people. A chill rose from the depths of their bodies.
The Energy Unification Spiritual Sword was swung out.
It was a silent sword. A wisp of red sword Qi streaked across the sky in an arc. There was no beginning and no end, as if it was a line connecting the sky and the water.
This was the last scenery that Ying Wei and the others saw in this world. It was as if they were sitting on top of a mountain facing the sea when the sun was setting in the west, looking at the line where the sea met the sky in the distance and the red glow of the sunset.
"How can the sword be so fast?"
A question appeared in Ying Wei's mind. He felt the strength in his body was rapidly draining away. Darkness fell in front of him. He regretted that he had provoked Chu Mu.
It turned out that his real strength was far above his, and he was not an eight-star Saint.
However, it was too late for regret.
One sword. It was just one sword. He did not use any sword moves. It was just a basic sword technique.
That sword stroke contained several basic sword moves, the Eternal Sword Intent, the True Sword Intent, the True Slashing Intent, and the Energy Unification Technique.
Even a peak eight star saint rank would find it hard to block Chu Mu's sword, let alone an eight star saint high stage or middle stage.
After the sword stroke, the red sword Qi disappeared. Three corpses fell to the ground. There was a thin red mark on each of their necks. The Eternal Sword Intent, the True Sword Intent, and the True Sword Intent had destroyed the consciousness of the other party.
There was still one person alive. It wasn't because Chu Mu couldn't kill him, but because he had stayed behind to interrogate him.
"Other than Lin Ziqi, who else is there?" Chu Mu turned around and looked at the person indifferently.
"I … I won't say anything even if I die." The eight-star Saint gritted his teeth and said. His forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Too terrifying!
Chu Mu was too terrifying. He was only at the mid-stage of the Sixth Sky of the Wangu Realm, but he could kill an eight-star Saint and two eight-star Saints in one strike. The reason he didn't die was probably because Chu Mu wanted to interrogate him.
Even the six star kings didn't possess such strength when they were still at the mid-stage of the Sixth Sky of the Wangu Realm.
He knew that he had provoked the wrong person this time. No matter what, he couldn't reveal his young master's name. Otherwise, he would provoke a terrifying enemy.
This kind of monstrous genius was even more terrifying than the six star kings. If he couldn't kill him, he would be the target of revenge.
"Then die." Chu Mu said. With a flick of his wrist, the Blazing Brilliance Spiritual Sword pierced through the other party's forehead and destroyed his consciousness.
The eight-star Saint didn't expect Chu Mu to be so decisive.
Originally, he wanted to stall for time with Chu Mu. After all, no one wanted to die like this. Unfortunately, when they captured Lin Biruo to threaten him, Chu Mu had already decided to kill them.
With a flash of Sword Light, Huang Xiaolong sliced open their heads and retrieved their primordial spirits. They were primordial spirits that had reached the mid-stage and late-stage of the Wangu Realm.
Then, their interspatial rings became Chu Mu's spoils of war.
"You've been watching for so long. It's time for you to come out." Chu Mu said indifferently as he looked around and locked his gaze in front of him.
However, he seemed to be talking to the air and didn't get any response.
Chu Mu didn't say anything else. His eyes became sharp like a sword. He raised his hand and slashed his sword upward.
The sky seemed to split open. A white sword Qi shot out from the void and slashed down.
Heaven Scar Killing Sword Move!
One of the people hiding in the pine forest was targeted. He couldn't dodge and could only take the attack head-on.
However, although the Heavenly Scar Killing Sword Style was the weakest of Chu Mu's sword styles, it wasn't that easy to block.
The white sword Qi slashed down. A scream was heard. One person was killed.
"Stop!"
"We don't mean any harm."
The remaining people couldn't stay calm anymore. They couldn't continue hiding. They could only show themselves and shout loudly.
If they didn't show themselves and make a sound, they might be attacked again and killed like that person.
These people were the Waning Moon Sword Saint and the others.
Originally, when they noticed Ying Wei and the others' movements, they planned to be the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada. Therefore, they hid in the pine forest and hid their traces and auras. They planned to wait for Ying Wei and the others to kill Chu Mu. Then, they would kill Ying Wei and the others and intercept them.
Unexpectedly, the result was completely out of their expectations.
Ying Wei and the others didn't kill Chu Mu as they wished. Instead, they were killed by Chu Mu with one strike.
What did it mean to be killed with one strike?
Ying Wei was an eight-star Saint at the high level, and the other three were eight-star Saint at the middle level. Even the Waning Moon Sword Saint would have to spend some time to kill them.
Didn't it mean that Chu Mu, who they thought of as their target, was stronger than them?
