(Thank you to "One Mr. M" and "Little Yi Su" for your support. How many chapters can Chu Mu last until? The answer will be revealed in this chapter. Have you guessed it yet?)
Violent gales roared as huge waves surged forward, destroying everything in their path as easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood.
Two figures, one on the left and one on the right, used their high level killer moves. Sword Qi was extremely violent and sharp, shaking the surrounding air as it surged towards Chu Mu.
Chu Mu's expression changed slightly. Both of them had half-step Qi Transformation Realm Sword Qi cultivation, slightly surpassing Chu Mu's. Moreover, the high level killer moves they used were at Dacheng's level. They were extremely powerful.
If it were any other opponent with the same level of strength, they would only be defeated by the two of them.
However, Chu Mu's left foot took a step forward and a phantom appeared. In the next moment, the phantom was destroyed by the two killer moves. Chu Mu's sword had already turned into a cold star, piercing through the void and entering the throat of one of them.
Without the slightest hesitation, his movements were as smooth as flowing water. With a single slash, the second person was killed, and the killing move disappeared.
At the same time, another person appeared. Before he had fully formed, he had already attacked with his sword.
Chu Mu's killing speed was extremely fast, but the speed at which these people appeared was also increasing. In the blink of an eye, two of them appeared and used their high level killer moves. They were extremely powerful.
Before Chu Mu could kill the two of them, the third one appeared and attacked with his sword. The sword Qi was extremely threatening.
The Small Sword Pagoda could allow 100 people to enter at the same time. After these 100 people entered, they would be sent into a small independent space to face wave after wave of enemies.
The enemies that appeared at the beginning were all the same. They were all ordinary tenth stage peak warriors. Moreover, they did not appear quickly. However, once they were killed, the enemies that appeared would become faster and faster, and their strength would also become stronger.
In other words, the faster you killed the enemies, the faster the enemies would appear. Every time an enemy appeared, their overall strength would be slightly stronger than the previous one. Perhaps it was reflected in the cultivation of Sword Qi, or the power of the swordsmanship, or the level of mastery of the swordsmanship.
Some of the people in the other ninety-nine small spaces were already empty because they had been "killed" by the enemy and teleported outside. Some of them were still fighting, and the battle was very intense. Both sides went back and forth, and in the end, they killed the enemy with great difficulty, but in a flash, a new enemy appeared.
After Li Yingrui killed a strong enemy with a few sword strikes, another strong enemy would appear immediately. Furthermore, after one sword strike, a second one would immediately appear, causing the pressure on Li Yingrui to multiply.
Although he was very strong, and the speed at which he killed his enemies was fast enough, far surpassing the others, he was still far behind Chu Mu.
Each of the three enemies had a profound cultivation of half-step Qi Transformation Realm. Once they attacked, their killing moves were relentless, and their power was not inferior to the Goldtip Sword Art. Besieging Chu Mu, he was in a precarious situation.
Chu Mu used the Phantom Step, and seven phantoms alternated between each other. He immediately broke free from their killing moves and swept past them in an instant, leaving behind an afterimage as he swung his sword.
There seemed to be a slight shattering sound as the three enemies instantly collapsed. Three streams of blood sprayed out, splattering onto the ground like ink.
The originally milky white ground had long since been dyed red, turning into a bloody purgatory. It was a shocking sight. Even the milky white walls were splattered with scarlet, giving off a demonic feeling.
Powerful enemies continued to appear. There were already four of them, and each of them had a profound cultivation of half-step Qi Transformation Realm, close to the peak of half-step Qi Transformation Realm. Moreover, Chu Mu was surprised to find that when these four used their killing moves, they actually contained ten percent of the intent fluctuations.
Chu Mu's seven phantoms were all destroyed, and even his own body was affected. His protective sword Qi was also destroyed, and he was almost hit. It was extremely dangerous.
With a calm expression, Chu Mu alternated between the Phantom Step Art and the Windwalk Movement Art. His body floated like a ghost, like a willow swaying in the wind, and his sword was like a phoenix flying through the nine heavens.
Blood splattered across the sky, dyeing the ground red like a bloody hell.
Chu Mu exhaled slightly. He felt the pressure increase, but at the same time, he felt a little excited. This kind of continuous killing made his blood boil. Layers of power surged through his body, and the thick and pungent smell of blood made him unable to help but let out a long howl.
The Sword Light flashed, and the tip of the golden blade tore through the air. Sword Qi surged and condensed, and with a single slash, the three enemies that had appeared at almost the same time and attacked him before they had even fully condensed were instantly cut in half.
Kill! Kill!
Kill! Chu Mu displayed his sword skills bit by bit. Vibration, deflection, rotation, and all kinds of sword techniques were not held back. He displayed his sword skills to the fullest.
There had never been a moment that could make Chu Mu feel so satisfied. Wenren Yun couldn't, Wei Hong couldn't, Xiao Qianfeng couldn't …
One step, one kill, one sword, one life!
… …
One figure after another was ejected from the small sword pagoda, and the hundred sticks of incense continued to burn.
"It's the thirtieth section now, and there are still eight people who haven't been ejected."
"I remember that among the eight people, one of them is a new student."
"That's right, it's a new student. However, he is ranked third among the new students in the three stages of the natural barrier. I guess he can at least last until the thirty-third section of the incense."
Not long after, at the thirty-second section of the incense, another person was ejected.
At the thirty-third section of the incense, another person was ejected, but it wasn't Chu Mu.
"Amazing, could it be that this new student can last until the thirty-fourth section of the incense, or even the thirty-fifth section?"
At the thirty-fourth section of the incense, two people were ejected at the same time.
At the thirty-fifth section of the incense, another person was ejected.
At the thirty-sixth section of the incense, another person was ejected at the thirty-seventh section of the incense, yet it wasn't Chu Mu.
Instantly, everyone was shocked.
Lian Qingyun, Huangfu Changtian, and the others were even extremely shocked.
Even though Chu Mu defeated Huangfu Ba with a single sword strike earlier, they were able to discern that even though the might of that sword strike was formidable, Chu Mu would surely exhaust an enormous amount of energy, and it would be difficult for him to execute a second sword strike.
All of them were confident that they could compete with Chu Mu and even defeat Chu Mu in the end. Especially after they'd gone through a month of cultivation in the outer court, they felt that their strengths had obviously improved.
But no matter if it was Lian Qingyun or Huangfu Changtian, both of them had only persisted until the thirty-fifth section of the incense stick. Presently, the incense stick had already burned until the thirty-eighth section of the incense stick, yet Chu Mu still hadn't been ejected, so how could they not be shocked?
Didn't this indirectly indicate that Chu Mu's strength was actually above them?
Lian Qingyun and Huangfu Changtian shook their heads as they felt it was impossible. With their natural talent and various other aspects, how could they possibly be inferior to someone from a low grade sword sect?
When the thirty-eighth section of the incense stick started to burn, Chu Mu and Li Yingrui still hadn't been ejected, yet Lian Qingyun, Huangfu Changtian, and the others were unable to maintain their composure.
"As expected of the greatest dark horse this time."
"Senior Brother Chu is really formidable," said Chen Tao and Zhou Yi. Luo Yufeng's face was covered in smiles as he felt extremely refreshed.
The thirty-eighth section of the incense stick swiftly burned and had already burned to the end, and when it was about to burn to the thirty-ninth section, a figure suddenly shot out from within the small sword pagoda.
"He's finally out." Lian Qingyun and the others had always been staring fixedly at the small sword pagoda. At this moment, they heaved a sigh of relief, but persisting until the thirty-eighth section of the incense stick still caused them to be unable to maintain their composure in their hearts.
"It isn't that new student."
"It's Senior Brother Li."
A series of exclamations resounded. Lian Qingyun, Huangfu Changtian, and the others looked over and actually didn't see Chu Mu, but another person. Instantly, the corners of their eyes kept twitching.
When Li Yingrui appeared, he first looked at the thyme stick and discovered that it was only the thirty-eighth section. He was first stunned when he saw that the red-robed deacon hadn't extinguished the thyme stick, which meant that there was still someone in the small sword pagoda that hadn't come out.
Who exactly was it?
Li Yingrui quickly swept a glance and his expression slightly changed as he was somewhat in disbelief. He abruptly turned back to look at the small sword pagoda.
Inside the small sword pagoda, the milky white room had long been covered in scarlet blood from the endless spray of blood. The viscous blood flowed on the ground as if converging into a stream.
The air was completely filled with an intense and pungent smell of blood. If an ordinary person were to stay in this place, they would suffocate to death within a few seconds.
However, seven phantoms could be seen shuttling back and forth. There were a few wounds on Chu Mu's body, which were caused by the sword killer moves of powerful enemies. Even his clothes were dyed red with blood. His expression was calm, but his eyes were abnormally bright like the Sword Light that contained 100% sharpness. One could faintly see a trace of … madness flashing in the corner of his eyes.
Chu Mu had long forgotten about everything else and was completely immersed in the massacre. His sword had taken away countless lives, and he had also forgotten how many times he had been struck.
Ten powerful enemies surrounded Chu Mu. Their bodies swayed like a gale and lightning, and their speed was unbelievably fast. Their swords were like gray pythons and flood dragons with unparalleled strength. They were also like violent thunderstorms and torrential rain. The entire room was enveloped by this terrifying high-grade killer move that contained 20% of the concept, and there was nowhere to dodge.
Mobilizing the little remaining sword qi, Chu Mu slashed out with his sword, and white clouds converged and revolved.
Cloud Shattering Sword Explosion!
Puchi puchi sounds rang out as the wind, thunder, torrential rain, and torrential rain were all penetrated. The ten powerful enemies vomited blood and died. However, Chu Mu was also swept by the aftershock of the sword qi. A large number of wounds appeared on his body, and blood spurted out.
Immediately, five powerful enemies appeared again and attacked Chu Mu. Chu Mu barely killed two of them before he was struck by the other three killer moves and died.
He turned into a white light and disappeared with a swoosh.
A figure shot out of the small sword pagoda. Everyone looked and saw that the Hundred Knots Incense had just burned to the 39th segment. It only needed to last for three more breaths of time to burn to the 40th segment.
Chu Mu landed on the ground with a pale face. His eyes had an unconcealable look of exhaustion, but there was also a hint of excitement and madness. The surrounding sounds entered Chu Mu's ears and woke him up. He realized that he had already escaped from that place filled with powerful enemies. The strange thing was that his body was filled with sword qi, and there were no injuries on his body.
He turned around and looked at the small sword pagoda. Everything that happened just now was like a dream. Chu Mu's eyes flashed with a hint of realization. "What an incredible place."
He sheathed his sword and strode into the crowd, ignoring everyone's gazes. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
