In front of Chu Mu were the Waning Moon Sword Saint and the other two peak eight-star Martial Saints. However, at this moment, they did not have the demeanor of an expert. Their faces were pale and their hearts were palpitating.
Wrong, they had made a mistake in their judgment.
This mid-level six-star Martial Saint was not prey at all. He was a powerful hunter.
He had killed two mid-level eight-star Martial Saints and one high-level eight-star Martial Saint with a single strike. He had also injured the other mid-level eight-star Martial Saint. If he wanted to, he could even kill them. Then, he had killed a peak eight-star Martial Saint with a single strike. Such strength was definitely not at the level of an eight-star Martial Saint. He was at the level of a nine-star Martial Saint.
With such strength, it would not be difficult for him to kill them.
"Sir, we mean no harm." To the left of the Waning Moon Sword Saint was the Rock Sword Saint. He hurriedly said in a very sincere tone.
"Yes, sir, we mean no harm." The Waning Moon Sword Saint and the third peak eight-star Martial Saint said the same. As for the fourth one, he had already died under Chu Mu's Heavenly Scar Sword Style.
"Would you believe your own words?" Chu Mu asked as he withdrew his spiritual power from Lin Biruo's body.
She had only fainted because her sword origin was sealed. There were no other injuries.
"Sir, our purpose is only to kill those four people." The Waning Moon Sword Saint's voice was somewhat feminine as he smiled bitterly.
With the Waning Moon Sword Saint's words, Chu Mu immediately understood. Their goal was to wait for the four Camp Guards to kill him before killing the four Camp Guards and being the fisherman.
However, so what? Since they had appeared here, it meant that they did not have good intentions.
"Sir, we are willing to pay a sufficient price." The Rock Sword Saint said.
The other party was too strong. They were not people they could fight against. Since that was the case, it would be too stupid to go against them. They planned to use some treasures and the like in exchange for their lives.
In the Land of Exile, this was not a strange thing to do.
However, at the peak eight-star Martial Saint level, such a thing had not happened for a long time. It had always been others who said this.
This was a long-lost feeling, but there was nothing worth reminiscing about. They would rather not have it, because it was a kind of humiliation.
"What kind of price can be worth the life of a peak Eight-Star Martial Saint?" Chu Mu asked with a faint smile.
The price was not uniform, and there was no standard. It all depended on the situation.
However, under normal circumstances, the life of a peak Eight-Star Saint would definitely be more valuable than that of a Seven-Star Saint.
"I'm willing to hand over most of the items in my spatial ring." The Waning Moon Sword Saint said helplessly. If he had known that this would be the result, he would not have dared to have such thoughts.
What a pity. Humans die for wealth and birds die for food. He might not die now, but he would lose most of his collection. That was his accumulation of hundreds of years.
However, in order to survive, it was worth it. As long as he was alive, he could gain more.
"I need Sword Guards. The three of you are barely qualified." Chu Mu smiled. This was something he had just thought of.
This time, someone had used Lin Biruo to deal with him. Next time, someone might use the same trick. Even without Lin Biruo, the person who wanted to deal with him would definitely think of other ways.
For example, if they captured his friends or Long Yunkong, he would definitely go and rescue them.
However, Lin Biruo was here now. Since she was his maid, Chu Mu would not allow anyone to use her to threaten him, nor would he allow anyone to harm her.
The best way was, of course, to increase Lin Biruo's strength so that she would have the ability to protect herself. However, Lin Biruo's strength was only at the high level of a five-star Martial Saint. Even if she completed the cultivation of the Clear Water Sky Sword Technique and grasped the essence, she would at most have the strength of an ordinary five-star Martial Saint at the peak level.
It would be very difficult to increase Lin Biruo's strength. It would take a very long time.
Since that was the case, he could only rely on external forces and find a few powerful people to be her bodyguards.
It just so happened that the Waning Moon Sword Saint and the other two were all Eight-Star Martial Saints. They were all experienced and powerful. They were very suitable candidates.
The expressions of the Waning Moon Sword Saint and the other two immediately changed.
They would rather give up all their treasures than become someone's bodyguard. Bodyguards were always inferior. In the Land of Exile, they were considered powerful people with some reputation.
Even if the other party was a Nine-Star Martial Saint, they would not agree to become someone's bodyguard.
"Die or become a bodyguard. Choose one." Chu Mu knew what they were thinking just by looking at their expressions. He threw out this sentence directly.
"Sir, please don't force us." The Waning Moon Sword Saint said with difficulty. His originally feminine face became even more gloomy.
The Sword Saint to the right of the Waning Moon Sword Saint suddenly moved. He exploded with his fastest speed. He could swear that this was the fastest speed he had ever exploded with.
He did not run away. Instead, he flew towards Lin Biruo. He planned to capture Lin Biruo to threaten Chu Mu.
From the fact that this maidservant was captured to lure Chu Mu out of the city, it could be seen that this maidservant was very important to him. Therefore, he felt that as long as he captured this maidservant, he could use her as a protective talisman to let him leave alive without any losses.
However, he was right, but he did it wrong.
The moment his body moved, Chu Mu's sword also flicked upwards. In the air, a white sword aura instantly shot out from the void and slashed downwards.
The Killing Sword of Heaven Scar!
The white sword Qi slashed down with unparalleled speed.
This Eight-Star Martial Saint was hit by the Killing Sword of Heaven Scar before he could even get close to Lin Biruo. He could not dodge. The protective sword aura on his body was extremely fragile. It was instantly torn apart like a thin piece of paper.
He paused and raised his sword in an attempt to block.
However, with Chu Mu's strength as a Six-Star Martial Saint, the Killing Sword of Heaven Scar was not something an ordinary Eight-Star Martial Saint could block.
As the sword slashed down, the Sword of Heaven Scar was split into two. Even his Primordial Spirit was cut open and shattered.
The Killing Sword of Heaven Scar was the weakest of all the sword moves. However, compared to other sword moves, it was definitely much more powerful.
Another instant kill right before their eyes. This made the Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Rock Sword Saint's eyelids twitch. They felt cold all over and their palms became wet.
Being killed was nothing. However, to be killed in an instant with such a clean strike, they could not help but feel terrified.
"Have you two thought it through?" Chu Mu's sword fell slowly. It was as if he had not just killed an Eight-Star Martial Saint. Instead, it was as if he had just killed a cockroach. "Or, you can try to end up like him."
This sentence made the Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Rock Sword Saint want to cry. Yes, they really wanted to cry right now.
"I won't make things difficult for the two of you. Let's set a time limit of 100 years. After 100 years, you will be free." Chu Mu lowered the conditions slightly.
"100 years?" The Rock Sword Saint asked.
"Are you sure it's 100 years?" The Waning Moon Sword Saint repeated.
"100 years. Swear by the way of the sword." Chu Mu said seriously.
The Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Rock Sword Saint looked at each other. Compared to losing their lives, a hundred years as a bodyguard was not an unacceptable thing.
Moreover, when he thought about it again, although the other party was only a Six Star Saint, his strength was comparable to an ordinary Nine Star Saint. Such talent was completely above the Six Star Saints. It would not be a waste to follow such a person.
Thinking of this, they felt much better.
Then, they swore by the way of the sword. Chu Mu naturally swore as well. The content of the oath was that he would let the two of them go free after 100 years.
After swearing, the Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Rock Sword Saint were relieved.
Since it was already a done deal, there was no way to go back on it.
"Young master." The two of them also changed their greetings and called Chu Mu "young master".
To Chu Mu, this greeting was more appropriate.
Then, Chu Mu woke Lin Biruo up. After a brief explanation, Lin Biruo calmed down, but she looked a little depressed.
"Young master, I'm really sorry." Lin Biruo said, "I'm too useless."
"Just work hard and improve your strength." Chu Mu said. Then, he introduced the Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Rock Sword Saint to Lin Biruo.
Lin Biruo made up her mind to work harder and improve her strength. After hearing Chu Mu's introduction, she was very surprised.
The Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Rock Sword Saint were two very famous experts in Bloodbath City. They were at the peak of the Eight-Star Martial Saint level. Now, they were the young master's guards.
Lin Biruo felt that the young master was becoming more and more mysterious. But so what? She just needed to focus on serving the young master and improving her strength.
After collecting the spoils and disposing of the corpses, Chu Mu brought Lin Biruo and the two new guards back to Bloodbath City.
The two guards' purpose was to protect Lin Biruo. Sometimes, they had to help Chu Mu deal with some matters.
"Young master, two of the four guards are Lin Ziqi's guards, and the other two are Fei Yang's guards." The Rock Sword Saint said.
"Fei Yang …" Chu Mu frowned slightly.
"Young master, Fei Yang is the one who stood on Lin Ziqi's side against you at the auction. He's the only son of a vice sect leader of the Ghost Dragon Sect in Zhan Long City. He's at the early stage of the Seventh Sky of Wangu. He can be considered a genius of the second division."
"Fei Yang." After repeating this name, Chu Mu changed the topic. He had his own plans, but he didn't say it yet. "At the auction, what was the final price for the last nine spots of the Black Mystery Realm?"
After bidding for the first spot, Chu Mu left the auction. He was curious about the final price of the last nine spots. After all, his bid was one thousand Silver Hearts.
The Waning Moon Sword Saint and the Rock Sword Saint also left after Chu Mu. However, they heard the news later, so they knew the final price of the last nine spots.
The second to eighth spots were sold for more than one thousand Silver Hearts, but not by much. The ninth spot was sold for more than one thousand one hundred, and the tenth spot, which was the last spot, was sold for one thousand three hundred.
