The two swords danced in the air like a bolt of lightning. This swift and violent attack instantly killed the last enemy, filling the air with a bloody mist.
Outside the Small Sword Pagoda, the ninety-ninth incense stick began to burn.
"Ninety-ninth incense stick …"
"He really did it. He broke the legendary record …"
Everyone's mouth was wide open as they sucked in a breath of cold air. Their brains were about to short-circuit.
Another ten strong enemies appeared, and their strength was obviously stronger. The pressure on Chu Mu increased as he fought. There were three wounds on his body, and blood kept flowing out.
The third style of the Golden Edge Sword Art in his left hand, and the eighth style in his right.
"It's rumored that when the dual sword technique is trained to the large success stage, one will be able to use two swords to perform different sword techniques. The power will be even more powerful." Chu Mu thought to himself as he used the Golden Edge Sword Technique to fight. Now, his lower level dual sword art had finally stabilized under this bloody battle. He could execute any basic style of the same sword art as he wished. His overall strength had increased by thirty percent compared to when he used a single sword.
Phantom Steps was executed to the limit, and the ten phantoms were unpredictable.
Cloud Shattering Sword Explosion!
Cloud Shattering Sword Explosion!
The two swords separated as they executed their respective cloud sword arts. Suddenly, countless cloud sword qi as thick as a finger shot out in all directions, almost covering the entire room. Only the spot where Chu Mu was standing was spared.
"Ninety-nine incense sticks have finished burning!" An ear-piercing scream sounded.
Thousands of eyes were focused on the hundred sticks of incense. The ninety-ninth incense stick had finished burning, and finally …
"One hundred incense sticks … One hundred incense sticks …" This scream was incomparably mournful, as if someone's chrysanthemum had been ruthlessly stabbed with a mace.
Breaking the record, one hundred incense sticks!
Huangfu Kuang was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that a competition with Chu Mu would break the record.
Inside the Small Sword Pagoda, the endless scarlet blood on the ground and walls suddenly emitted a dazzling light. A figure slowly condensed and rapidly absorbed all the scarlet blood.
In the end, a swordsman wearing a red swordsman's robe with long hair as red as blood shot out a demonic scarlet light from his eyes and instantly landed on Chu Mu's body. Immediately, Chu Mu's hair stood on end and his muscles unconsciously tightened, almost unable to breathe.
He felt as if all the muscles in his body had been struck by a high-voltage electric current. His entire body was paralyzed, and he couldn't move at all. A kind of trembling feeling came from the bottom of his heart, and it wanted to destroy his soul and body.
It was as if his soul was being pulled by an invisible bloody hand into a bloody purgatory, sinking deeper and deeper.
"Even if it's hell, I'll break it with my sword!" Chu Mu's eyes suddenly shot out an incomparably sharp light that pierced through the void. His sword aura surged violently, and with a mysterious trajectory, it gathered on the fake Clear Wind Sword in his hand like a cool breeze. Immediately, the fake Clear Wind Sword became as heavy as ten thousand jin.
With a loud shout, Chu Mu released all the power in his body. With a slash of his sword, the terrifying sword aura turned into a thunderous force that tore a hole in the Blood Purgatory.
With a kacha kacha sound, like a mirror shattering, the Blood Purgatory collapsed.
In the milky white room, Chu Mu's face was pale. Cold sweat seeped out of his forehead and slid down his cheeks. A feeling of weakness emerged from his soul and body, making it difficult for him to even stand. The sword in his hand almost fell to the ground.
The bloody figure in front of him was like a demonic god from purgatory. With a light wave of the bloody sword in his hand, a solid bloody sword light shot through the air. Chu Mu was unable to dodge and was directly killed.
A figure was ejected and landed on the ground.
"He's out, he's out …"
"He's finally out …"
"One hundred incense sticks. Although it's only the hundredth stick, it has already broken the previous record and created a new record."
"Unbelievable."
All kinds of discussions could be heard, and it was extremely noisy.
Chu Mu shifted his gaze and looked. The hundred sticks of incense had already burned to the last stick, but it had only just begun to burn.
He let out a breath and dispelled the depression in his heart. His pale face gradually regained its color.
"You've won, big brother." Huangfu Kuang said sincerely. He was now sincerely convinced. He believed that even the current Huangfu Shenglong would not be able to persist until the ninety-ninth stick of incense, let alone the hundredth stick.
Calling such a person big brother was not only a disgrace to him, but it was also his fortune.
Nodding, Chu Mu smiled slightly. Although the sword Qi in his body had completely recovered, and his physical strength had also recovered, waves of weakness came from his soul. It was as if he had overused his brain and was giving off bursts of stabbing pain.
Without waiting for the Iron Sword Leaderboard to announce the rankings, Chu Mu left first. He was certain that the first place would be none other than him.
Another round of the Small Sword Pagoda ranking battle ended. Lian Qingyun and the others looked at Chu Mu's back as he left, unable to produce any thoughts of resistance. The gap between them was too big, and it was getting bigger and bigger. They were not in the same world.
They all knew that in this world, there was a kind of person who was born to be looked up to. This kind of person was destined to live an extraordinary and brilliant life. Wherever they went, they would leave their shadow behind and be branded in people's hearts.
It was like the legends they had heard one after another. In a daze, they seemed to have seen a new legend slowly unfold.
…
"What, you actually persisted until the hundredth stick of incense?!" Huangfu Feiyan jumped up in shock. Her expression was very comical. Compared to persisting until the hundredth stick of incense, first place was nothing.
"Fortunately, I left in time." After a while, Huangfu Feiyan reacted and revealed a proud smile. She said to Huangfu Kuang, "Look at how smart I am. Otherwise, who knows what kind of conditions that cold-faced man would have brought up. No, if he comes to me with conditions, I'll pretend I'm not here and focus on cultivation. My will is almost at thirty percent. Once I reach thirty percent, I'll immediately prepare to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm. At that time, he definitely won't be able to find me. Big guy, you must remember not to tell the cold-faced man anything. Otherwise, I'll definitely find out and settle accounts with you. "
Huangfu Kuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Huangfu Feiyan was usually too lazy to cultivate. He didn't expect her to be determined to cultivate diligently and break through to the Qi Transformation Realm as soon as possible.
Shaking his head, Huangfu Kuang didn't say anything and left the fourth tower. He walked back to his own tower.
At the same time, a meeting was being held in the Palace Lord's tower. The content of the meeting revolved around Chu Mu. After reaching an agreement, a deacon from the Hundred Affairs Hall was sent to Chu Mu's tower.
Chu Mu, who had won first place, was qualified to challenge Huangfu Shenglong. However, Huangfu Shenglong was currently in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Qi Transformation Realm. Therefore, Chu Mu couldn't challenge him.
"Although I don't know why such a powerful enemy appeared in the Small Sword Pagoda at the end, I'm sure that guy's sword Qi cultivation was at the Qi Transformation Realm. Moreover, he wasn't an ordinary Qi Transformation Realm cultivator." Chu Mu said with certainty. His eyes were filled with contemplation. "That casual sword strike contained a strange Concept. It wasn't a Concept I've seen before, but it was similar to the Concept of Water. Could it be the Concept of Blood?"
"But that's not the main point. The main point is that I successfully condensed the Sword Force on my sword and released it. The power of that strike was earth-shattering." Chu Mu's eyes burst with a shocking light. He suddenly stood up and pulled out his sword. The Sword Force surged out, but he was still unable to condense it on his sword.
"No, it still doesn't work …"
"Why not? What is it that I'm missing? "
Chu Mu frowned. He sat down again and pondered.
The situation at that time was that his soul seemed to have been pulled into a bloody purgatory. He couldn't extricate himself and kept sinking. It was as if he was going to die.
Chu Mu didn't know if his soul would fall into oblivion and he would become a living dead person if he fell into oblivion. But in that dangerous situation, his potential was completely stimulated. He released a sword strike that he couldn't normally release, surpassing his own limits.
And now, Chu Mu wanted to grasp that momentary flash of inspiration to once again release that inconceivable sword and then control it.
It was a difficult process.
Not long after, the seal of the Sword Pagoda was triggered, alarming Chu Mu.
When he walked out of the Sword Pagoda, he saw a deacon of the Hall of Hundred Affairs standing outside. He was looking at Chu Mu with a smile.
"Chu Mu, congratulations on obtaining first place on the Iron Sword List," the deacon said.
"Thank you," Chu Mu responded politely.
"I'm looking for you because I have something very important to tell you. At the same time, it's also very good news," the Hall of Hundred Affairs said with a smile. The deacon of the Hall of Hundred Affairs smiled and did not keep them in suspense. He continued, "Since you have broken the previous record and created a new one, the Chief has decided to reward you by increasing your time in the Cultivation Holy Land by a hundred times. In other words, in addition to the one hundred and seventy-eight hours that you should have for first place, you will receive an additional one hundred and eighty-eight hours in total. "
When Chu Mu heard this, he immediately let out a smile. To him, this was indeed a pretty good piece of news.
"Okay, I'm done. I believe that with so much time in the Cultivation Sanctum, your strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds again," the deacon said. He then said goodbye.
Although he was in the Qi Transformation Realm and was not someone that ordinary Qi Transformation Realm cultivators could compare with, when facing people like Chu Mu, he would always treat him as an equal or even humbly.
This was because he was very clear that his lifetime achievement would probably only be in the Qi Sea Realm or the Ninth Transformation Realm at most. However, people like Chu Mu could at least reach the Ninth Transformation Realm or even the Origin Realm.
Even if they were in the same realm, he would not be Chu Mu's opponent. The gap between them had already determined each other's achievements.
"Not bad, two hundred and eighty-eight hours is enough for me to raise my Metal Essence to thirty percent. At that time, I will break through to the Qi Transformation Realm and directly raise my Metal Cloud Dual Wills to the Initial Success," Chu Mu said to himself. He returned to the second floor of the Sword Pagoda and pondered over the problem from before. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
