The Dark Dragon Guards were the most secretive force of the Evil Dragon Hall. They were nurtured by the first Palace Master. Their purpose was to protect the Evil Dragon Hall in times of danger and preserve the Evil Dragon Hall's legacy.
Throughout the generations, only the First Palace Master knew of the existence of the Dark Dragon Guards. Only the First Palace Master had some authority to mobilize the Dark Dragon Guards.
This time, the First Palace Master of the Evil Dragon Hall, Gu Xingdao, had sent the Third Elder to lead the eighteen Evil Dragon Secret Guardians to take revenge and kill Chu Mu. He was afraid of failure, so he sent the leader of the Dark Dragon Guards, Dark Dragon, to secretly assist.
The Dark Dragon had sent out two Dark Dragon Guards to secretly follow the Third Elder. They had unparalleled attainments in the art of concealment. Along the way, the Third Elder and the eighteen Evil Dragon Secret Guards did not notice them at all. They did not discover any clues at all.
To the Dark Dragon Guards, they only had one purpose in coming out, which was to assist the Third Elder and the Evil Dragon Secret Guardians in killing Chu Mu. They were extremely skilled in concealment and had been hiding in the surroundings, waiting for the best time to attack.
It was fine if they did not attack, but once they attacked, blood would be shed. This was the fighting style of the Dark Dragon Guards.
Even with Chu Mu's powerful spiritual perception, he did not discover the Dark Dragon Guards hiding in the surroundings. Only when he created an opportunity to attack and use the fourteenth strike of the Thirteen Meteor Strikes to take Cai Zhenye's life did the Dark Dragon Guards suddenly appear.
This was the moment when Chu Mu's sword was about to pierce the Third Elder. As long as he killed the Third Elder, the remaining Dark Evil Dragon would not be able to resist Chu Mu. It would only take a bit of time for him to defeat it. After all, although the Dark Evil Dragon was powerful, it was formed from a battle formation. Chu Mu was rather skilled in breaking formations. Unknowingly, the Dark Evil Dragon was somewhat restrained.
It had to be said that the Dark Dragon Guards' grasp of timing was impeccable.
With this attack, Third Elder Cai Zhenye would definitely die. However, Chu Mu would also have to face the Dark Sword of the Dark Dragon Guards.
The black Sword Light shuttled through the space cracks. Its speed was extremely fast. It seemed to ignore the distance between space and time. The moment it appeared, it arrived in front of Chu Mu.
Gloomy, cold, and sharp, it caused Chu Mu's skin to tremble. An extreme chill rose from his tailbone and rushed to his head. The hair-raising feeling caused his expression to change greatly.
This sword was too terrifying. It was impossible to describe it with words. Chu Mu smelled the breath of the abyss and saw the shadow of death. He was certain that this sword would be extremely difficult to defend against. It was very likely that if he insisted on killing Cai Zhenye, he would also be struck by this sword and be seriously injured or even killed.
The strong sense of crisis was like the ringing of a great bell. Chu Mu's expression returned to normal, as cold as ice. His eyes flashed with a sharp light, restrained, and became deep.
The sword in his right hand was still stabbing out with the fourteenth attack. The sword in his left hand was instantly raised. It seemed slow, but the surrounding space seemed to be affected and became sluggish.
The sword light of the Eternal Spiritual Sword in his left hand seemed to transform into a bright moon that rose slowly, releasing a deep white light. It went from weak to strong, from weak to full, and then from full to weak. Then, the light went from bright to weak, from full to weak.
The sixth art of the Moon Severing Art — Waning Moon!
Chu Mu's Waning Moon had a unique mystery. It affected a small area of space and time, causing it to freeze for an instant. Even if it was only for a very short moment, not even one-hundredth of a blink of an eye, it was enough for an expert like Chu Mu to react.
"Don't kill me …" An incomparably terrified roar sounded. Cai Zhenye's face was filled with shock and fear. His vertical pupils instantly shrank by a sliver.
Facing the threat of death, Cai Zhenye was terrified. Following that, someone appeared to attack Chu Mu. Cai Zhenye thought that Chu Mu would give up on killing him, and he would be able to survive. He quickly adjusted himself. Unexpectedly, Chu Mu did not intend to give up on killing him.
This sudden turn of events caused Cai Zhenye's mind to fluctuate greatly. He lost his composure and cried out.
Chu Mu remained unmoved. Sword Light shot out, piercing through Cai Zhenye's forehead and shattering his Yuan Spirit.
The Evil Dragon Hall's Third Elder, Cai Zhenye, died!
The other Sword Light of Waning Moon fell. The frozen space had already recovered. The incoming sword of darkness instantly collided with the descending Waning Moon.
There was no sound, as if it had been sucked in. Chu Mu only felt an indescribably gloomy coldness follow the Eternal Spirit Sword, pass through the silver divine equipment, and instantly enter his arm.
The blood in his arm seemed to instantly freeze. A bone-chilling coldness spread through his entire arm, reaching his shoulder. He practically lost all feeling in his arm.
The terrifying gloomy energy unstoppably pressed towards Chu Mu's heart. In the blink of an eye, half of his body seemed to freeze.
"Pure Yang!"
Without hesitation, Chu Mu activated the Holy Body's Pure Yang Energy.
Like a raging fire burning his body, the Pure Yang Energy spread out and quickly filled his entire body.
Pure Yang Energy was the nemesis of practically all gloomy energy. However, this gloomy energy was too condensed and too tenacious. It was extremely terrifying. Even when activated by the Pure Yang Energy, it could not instantly disperse it.
The Dark Dragon Guard's second sword strike arrived with the same gloomy coldness.
Chu Mu quickly retreated, pulling away from the Dark Dragon Guard. At the same time, the Dark Evil Dragon recovered. Due to the Dark Dragon Guard's appearance, Chu Mu lost the opportunity to further injure the Dark Evil Dragon.
The Dark Dragon Guard was a variable. Furthermore, its strength had reached the level of a Dark Star Sword Sage. Furthermore, that gloomy energy was extremely terrifying, making Chu Mu fear it.
Now that Xiao Chen had already killed the Evil Dragon Palace's Third Elder, he had already achieved half of his goal. Without hesitation, Chu Mu chose to retreat.
With one foot in the air, Xiao Chen immediately fell to the bottom of Dragon Head Mountain. Face up, he continuously attacked with his two swords. Many meteor-like Sword Lights shot into the sky, shooting towards the Dark Evil Dragon and the Dark Sword Light that was diving down.
He did not seek to kill the enemy. He only wanted to block it.
After landing, the Dark Dragon Guard immediately executed his Movement Technique and quickly left. All of this was within Chu Mu's expectations.
However, another unforeseen event occurred.
Another Dark Sword Light silently pierced through the air behind Chu Mu, bringing with it a shocking gloomy coldness and sharpness.
This attack came from the second Dark Dragon Guard. The timing of the attack was impeccable.
The expressions of Bai Chen and the others changed drastically. They could not help but exclaim. In such a situation, if they were in Xiao Chen's place, they would most likely be injured.
How should Chu Mu deal with this?
Despite the shock in his heart, Chu Mu did not panic. Instead, he became increasingly calm. His Heart Sword moved as one. The trajectory of the sword that suddenly appeared behind him was also within Chu Mu's grasp. However, while he could grasp it, he could not dodge it. Firstly, he was falling from behind and did not expect this sudden sword attack. Secondly, that sword attack was too fast.
"I can only take a risk now," Xiao Chen said to himself.
He was not sure if the Silver Divine Equipment could block the other party's sword attack. Even if it could, it would not be able to defend against the cold energy.
In a pincer attack, he could not afford to make any mistakes.
"Shadowless Ghostly Dragon!" Xiao Chen shouted. Only he could hear that voice.
Chu Mu executed the Shadowless Ghostly Dragon Body that he had been cultivating for some time. Instantly, a gray fog spread out in the surroundings, wrapping around Chu Mu. It seemed like a ghostly dragon was swimming around in the fog.
Xiao Chen was in midair. As the gray fog spread out, it blocked the Dark Sword Light stabbing at him from behind, reducing its speed slightly. At the same time, Chu Mu's figure seemed to leave his original position at an incredible speed.
The Dark Sword Light missed, and the Dark Dragon Guard's figure instantly vanished as well.
After failing to hit, they immediately hid. This was the Dark Dragon Guard's way of survival. They were like assassins. Even if Chu Mu used his Heart Sword as one, he could not detect them.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and executed the Realm of Silence, releasing his Sword Domain.
As the two swords moved, they produced beams of light. They looked weak but were actually resplendent. They reflected off and spread out in the surroundings, filling up the area within five meters.
The light from the two swords seemed to contain a unique power, mysterious and unfathomable.
"Mirror Flower … Water Moon!"
A deep voice rang out from Chu Mu's mouth. It contained a unique charm and fluctuation that affected the surroundings.
The light brought about by the two swords became gorgeous and resplendent. It spread out and instantly turned into mirrors. It was unknown how many mirrors formed the world, but it was only within a radius of five meters.
It was like the world in the mirror. Nothing could hide, and everything was revealed.
The flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water were clearly visible.
In the Mirror Flower, Water Moon, the figures of the two Dark Dragon Guards appeared clearly. The concealment technique that they were so proud of seemed to have lost its effect at this moment.
However, their concealment technique was still very shocking. The Mirror Flower, Water Moon only revealed their figures for an instant. That instant was enough.
The reason why the Dark Dragon Guards could rival a Dark Star Sword Saint was because of their extraordinary concealment technique, their powerful attacks, and the unblockable cold power. The combination of these allowed them to assassinate a Dark Star Sword Saint.
However, their frontal combat ability and ability to deal with attacks were not that strong.
When they appeared, it was as if they had been stripped naked and thrown into a crowd.
Chu Mu's sword attacked again.
The Waning Moon Sword caught the two Dark Dragon Guards the moment they appeared. Time and space stopped for a moment. Then, a blazing sword light pierced through the void like a shooting star. It was Fourteen.
The Sword Light was swift and pierced through the void. Just as the two Dark Dragon Guards were about to disappear, they were pierced through. The Sword Light contained the power of True Meaning that was released in their bodies, killing their Primordial Spirits.
"15!"
Another sword slash was like a meteor falling from the sky towards the dark evil dragon. Chu Mu's body also accelerated as he fell. He landed at the foot of Dragon Head Mountain and stomped his feet on the ground. With a boom, he burst out with terrifying speed and used Ghost Dragon Shadowless Body. Without a sound, he quickly flew towards the eighteen evil dragon secret guards.
To many people, the 18 Dark Dragon Guards were indeed powerful experts. However, in front of Chu Mu, they were as weak as chickens. Especially when the Dark Evil Dragon could not return in time.
Sword Light flashed and the massacre reappeared.
