"Hahahaha … Take my sword again!" Huangfu Kuang's sword missed, and he suddenly twisted his body while laughing wildly. He held his sword with both hands and slashed horizontally. A terrifying sword aura burst forth as if he wanted to cut a mountain in half.
Chu Mu's figure had just landed on the ground when it split into a phantom.
The phantom was shattered, but Chu Mu appeared beside Huangfu Kuang. His sword was like a breeze.
Blocking with a sword, Huangfu Kuang didn't retreat. Instead, he pressed forward and lifted his heavy sword upwards. Chu Mu's sword light changed and the vibrating force slightly knocked the heavy sword aside. His sword stabbed straight towards Huangfu Kuang's face.
Huangfu Kuang's left hand released the hilt of his sword and flicked his finger towards Chu Mu's sword. Unexpectedly, his eyes flashed and his finger missed. The cold and sharp light was still locked on, and a cold star was reflected in his pupils.
Huangfu Kuang's eyes trembled and his expression changed slightly. He stomped heavily on the ground and flew back like a cannonball. He once again held his sword with both hands, and slashed out sword aura that could split mountains and stones, crisscrossing and slashing towards Chu Mu.
Chu Mu shattered the first sword aura with a single slash, and then used the momentum to use Wandering in the Wind to shuttle through the sword aura. The fake Clear Wind Sword fiercely attacked.
"Pay attention, I'm going to use my full strength." Huangfu Kuang shouted openly.
Suddenly, a strange fluctuation rose from his body. Chu Mu knew that it was the fluctuation of a concept, but it was different from the various concepts that he had grasped or even felt.
It was a very pure concept fluctuation, giving people a feeling of a thick and explosive power. There was nothing else but power.
Moreover, the level of this concept fluctuation was not low. Just as the deacon of the Hundred Affairs Hall said, his concept had reached 29%.
In the Outer House, there were twelve cultivation holy lands, but none of them could accelerate the comprehension of the concept of power. From this point, Huangfu Kuang was already behind others.
However, he had already comprehended 29% of his power. This level of comprehension was astonishing. Chu He and Xu Jianfeng were nothing compared to him.
If it weren't for the gap between 30% and 40%, many people wouldn't be able to cross it at all. Even those with strong comprehension abilities would have to spend a long time before they could cross it.
It was precisely because of this that Huangfu Kuang had chosen to remain at the peak of half-step Qi Transformation Realm. He was 80% confident that once he broke through to the Qi Transformation Realm, his strength would definitely increase to 40%.
At this moment, Huangfu Kuang unreservedly displayed 29% of his power. Terrifying energy waves gushed out like lava from a volcano, ferocious and unparalleled. The people around the Sword Battle Arena had no choice but to retreat because their expressions changed drastically. They felt extremely uncomfortable and oppressed, and even breathing became incomparably difficult.
"What a terrifying concept!" Chu Mu's eyes flashed with a trace of seriousness as he muttered to himself.
The Concept of Power was different from the Concept of Wind. It was a kind of special Concept, and special Concepts often had their own uniqueness. They were even more powerful than normal Concepts.
In other words, a 29% Concept of Power was comparable to a 30% Concept of Wind.
"Ranked fifth with such strength, just how strong are the top four?" Chu Mu still had the leisure to ponder this question.
"Stone Splitter!" With an explosive shout, Huangfu Kuang, who was under the influence of his Concept of Strength, was like a human-shaped tyrannosaurus rex. He slashed out with his heavy sword, and a terrifying sword Qi condensed and gushed out. The sword slashed out, and a trench actually appeared on the Sword Battle Stage.
The speed wasn't fast, but the power was extremely strong. Even Huangfu Shenglong and the others had a trace of seriousness in their eyes.
"Big guy's strength is even stronger," Huangfu Feiyan said with a smile, shaking her head.
"What a powerful sword skill." Chu Mu was inwardly shocked, but he didn't fight back. He clearly knew that strength wasn't his forte. Using something he wasn't good at against something his opponent was good at was a stupid thing to do.
He used his Phantom Body Art, and three phantoms appeared, staggered left and right. The three phantoms were instantly destroyed by the Stone Splitter, and Chu Mu appeared in front of Huangfu Kuang like a breeze. Wind Shaking the Forest!
Huangfu Kuang was shocked, and he hurriedly waved his sword. The pitch-black heavy sword's momentum was huge, and it shattered the incoming wind.
"Ground Splitter!" With another shout, Huangfu Kuang borrowed the force of the collision with the Wind Shaking the Forest to soar into the sky. Sword Qi surged, and his power was violent. His sword landed on the ground like a meteor.
Chu Mu's scalp went numb, and he hurriedly used his Wind Sweeping Shadow to dodge.
With a bang, dust flew everywhere, and rocks flew everywhere. The Sword Battle Arena, which had already been torn apart, had another hole. Huangfu Kuang's sword was stuck in the hole, and there were still countless Sword Qi shooting out.
Chu Mu's figure swayed, and he avoided the incoming rocks and Sword Qi. Golden Edge Splitting Sky!
Huangfu Kuang's hair stood on end. He pulled out his heavy sword and placed it in front of him, and his Sword Qi turned into an armor.
A clanging sound exploded, and a golden light flashed past. Huangfu Kuang only felt his hands tremble, and a terrifying sharpness penetrated through. The Sword Qi armor was shattered in an instant.
His reaction was extremely fast, and the moment the Sword Qi armor shattered, he soared into the sky, avoiding the follow-up attack.
"Mountain Breaking Slash!" Huangfu Kuang's heavy sword was raised high above his head, and Sword Qi gathered around his body. He didn't hold back at all. This sword was Huangfu Kuang's strongest sword.
Before the killing move landed, the terrifying aura had already condensed the surrounding air, and people had no choice but to retreat again to maintain their breathing. Huangfu Shenglong and the others' expressions changed slightly. This kind of sword already made them feel a great threat.
On the Sword Battle Arena, Chu Mu only felt the air being compressed, as if there was a mountain above him pressing down, wanting to squash him into a meat patty.
Then, a Sword Light that seemed to come from outer space, dazzling and filled with a sense of destruction, split the mountain in half, and heavily smashed it to the ground.
A cool breeze blew past Chu Mu's eyes, and Sword Qi surged, causing his clothes to flutter.
He swung his sword upwards, without the slightest trace of smoke or fire. In the next breath, a gentle breeze blew, the wind rippled, the wind howled, and the wind roared.
Simplified Form of Wind!
"It's that sword!" Lian Qingyun and the others were stunned.
The Moon Breaking Slash and the simplified Form of Wind collided, and violent explosions sounded out continuously.
A cold killing intent spiraled in the wind, and it drew an arc in the air, shooting towards Huangfu Kuang.
Huangfu Kuang's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly raised his sword to block in front of him, barely blocking the killing intent.
With a bang, the killing intent shattered, and the huge impact caused Huangfu Kuang to fly out uncontrollably. Below him was the Sword Battle Arena, and once he fell out of the arena, it would be his loss.
Turning around in midair, Huangfu Kuang slashed out with his heavy sword, and the sword Qi hit the ground, creating a recoil. Huangfu Kuang's body paused for a moment, and his palm was wrapped in sword Qi, slapping the ground that was shot out, and he flew back to the Sword Battle Arena.
Just as he landed on the stage, he saw a figure approaching from the corner of his eyes, and he subconsciously slashed out with his sword.
Chu Mu dodged Huangfu Kuang's sword, and brought out layers of afterimages. There were nine of them surrounding Huangfu Kuang, and it was hard for Huangfu Kuang to distinguish between real and fake.
"I don't care if you're real or fake, I'll break you with one sword!" Huangfu Kuang didn't care anymore. The muscles on his hands bulged, and a terrifying power burst out. Under the Intent Realm, his strength doubled, and his heavy sword swept out in all directions, looking like a mighty army sweeping away a thousand soldiers.
It wasn't a sword technique, but pure strength. Chu Mu was excited to see this, and the Sword Light turned gentle.
The sword stabbed out, light and slow, allowing people to clearly see the trajectory. It seemed soft and powerless, but when it came into contact, Huangfu Kuang found that his powerful sword seemed to have fallen into a quagmire, and it became extremely difficult.
His expression changed, and he exhaled. He used even more strength, but he still couldn't turn the situation around.
Huangfu Kuang couldn't help but think back to the time when he practiced his sword technique in the pool. Now, he felt that it was even more difficult than when he practiced in the pool, and it greatly restricted the power of his sword technique, making it difficult for him to fully display it.
Using softness to overcome strength!
As a sword grandmaster, Chu Mu only practiced one basic sword technique on Earth. However, the basic sword technique had been summarized and modified by generations of sword masters, and it was all-encompassing.
After Chu Mu reached the level of a sword grandmaster, he gradually realized that the basic sword technique he practiced seemed to be the same as the basic sword technique on the Ancient Sword Continent, but the essence it contained was much deeper. He had just opened a new door and stepped into a new world of sword techniques.
The rhythm began to be controlled by Chu Mu, and Huangfu Kuang's sword became slow and powerless. He couldn't help but feel depressed.
The two sword techniques and one killing move that he refined couldn't do anything to Chu Mu, and his 29% Intent Realm couldn't suppress him either. Even in the final clash of sword techniques, he was at a disadvantage.
This kind of weak and powerless feeling when he swung his sword with all his strength was as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. There was a kind of difficulty that came from the depths of his body, and it made Huangfu Kuang almost vomit blood.
After a few sword strikes, the feeling of difficulty became deeper, and it made him dumbfounded.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting. You win this time," Huangfu Kuang shouted. He withdrew his sword and quickly retreated with a depressed look on his face. "This kind of fighting isn't satisfying enough."
He comprehended the Intent Realm of Strength, and he mainly focused on strength. What he liked the most was a head-on clash of strength. Obviously, Chu Mu didn't focus on strength.
"He won just like that?" The spectators were all stunned. They felt that this kind of ending was a little strange, and they wanted to continue. What they wanted to see was a complete victor between the two of them. That kind of ending naturally meant that someone would be truly suppressed or even injured.
Chu Mu also withdrew his sword and smiled slightly.
Huangfu Kuang was very strong. Chu Mu didn't need to hold back and used all his strength.
The simplified version of Wind Image had also incorporated 30% of the Intent Realm of Wind, but it was only slightly better than the opponent's Mountain Slashing Slash. Chu Mu didn't have much sword qi left in his dantian.
If the fight continued and Huangfu Kuang used another killing move, he might have to use his Sword Force and Phantom Steps to perfection.
At that time, even if he could win in the end, it wouldn't be easy for him. He might even be injured.
"You're very strong, and I don't have the confidence to win against you. The fifth sword tower will belong to you from now on." Huangfu Kuang continued, "However, let's compete again to see who can break through first and raise their intent realm to 40%. The bet is … there's no bet."
"Okay." Chu Mu smiled. The battle came to an end. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
