"Since the two of you have already signed the life and death agreement, no matter who is killed, you are not allowed to seek revenge." The supervisor of the life and death arena put away the agreement and said seriously, "In addition, signing the agreement does not mean that the two of you have to fight to the death. If one of you admits defeat and the other agrees, it can be resolved in other ways."
After saying this routinely, the supervisor immediately retreated and left the life and death arena, leaving the arena to the two parties.
"I once heard a joke. An ant thinks that it is very strong, so it challenges an elephant, just like now," said Xiahou Yuan.
"Did you bring the Yuan Stones?" Chu Mu asked. He had two goals. One was to earn Yuan Stones. If he could get a thousand high-grade Yuan Stones, he could immediately begin to recultivate after returning. Of course, if he could get more high-grade Yuan Stones, the efficiency of recultivation would increase.
"Right here." Xiahou Yuan revealed a disdainful smile and waved his hand. Instantly, ten small chests appeared beside him. When they were opened, they immediately emitted a rich fluctuation of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. Each chest contained a hundred high-grade Yuan Stones.
A thousand upper-grade Primordial Stones made the eyes of many people around the Life and Death Arena brighten. If it weren't for the fact that they had scruples, they would have already snatched the Primordial Stones. They also disdained and despised the practice of asking for money after death.
"This is the deed to the Chu Sect Sword Academy." Chu Mu also took out a deed from his interspatial ring.
The deed to the Chu Sect Sword Academy and the thousand high-grade Yuan Stones belonged to the two of them. They had to be handed over to a notary for temporary safekeeping. This notary was usually the supervisor of the life and death arena.
"I don't like to kill." Xiahou Yuan spoke again with a tone of alms and superiority. "I'll give you one last chance. Admit defeat, kneel, and kowtow. If you do, I will spare your life."
Hearing Xiahou Yuan's words, Chu Mu wanted to laugh because he couldn't help but recall that in the past, there seemed to have been people who had said the same thing. However, in the end, they had all died under his sword. He had forgotten the specifics.
"There's no need to say more. Draw your sword." Chu Mu said unhurriedly. He held the hilt with his right hand and slowly pulled out the sword.
Chu Mu's sword was precisely the mid-grade Prized Artifact left behind by the father of the Chu Royal Court — the Vastsky Sword.
The Vast Sky Sword's body was shining brightly. As Chu Mu pulled it out, a faintly discernible sharp aura spread out.
"It's a mid-grade artifact."
"Can a Mortal Realm warrior control a Prized Artifact?"
"Of course, ordinary cultivators won't be able to do it, but rumor has it that some geniuses are able to do it."
"Looks like this Chu Wangting is truly a genius. Unfortunately, he overestimated himself."
Mortal weapons were suitable for the Qi Refining Realm. Bejeweled weapons were suitable for the Origin Returning Realm and Nirvana Realm. Spirit weapons were suitable for the Immemorial Realm and Peerless Realm.
This was a normal situation. There were some exceptions, such as some geniuses who were able to use swords of a higher level.
"I already find it very embarrassing to agree to your challenge," said Xiahou Yuan. In other words, there was no need for him to draw his sword when fighting Chu Mu.
Indeed, for a ninth level Origin Realm martial artist to deal with a twelfth level Mortal Realm martial artist was a piece of cake. It was like facing an ant, a single finger would be enough to squash it to death.
Chu Mu could clearly feel his opponent's contempt. He wasn't angry, nor did he show any dissatisfaction. His face was calm and his heart was as calm as an ancient well.
At this moment, to fight against a Level Nine Origin Realm martial artist with a Level Twelve Qi Refining Realm martial artist was a huge leap. Even when Chu Mu was at the peak of the Qi Hai Realm, he could only fight against a Level Nine Transformation Realm martial artist. Therefore, Chu Mu wouldn't underestimate his opponent. He knew very well that he wasn't the same as before.
As for the later stages, it was because of Chu Mu's continuous increase in strength. With various methods, he was able to fight against a higher level martial artist. Today, in terms of cultivation, he was infinitely close to the Dominator Realm. He even had one foot in the Dominator Realm. Who knows how many times stronger he was than Xiahou Yuan.
Cultivation level didn't represent one's strength, but it could increase one's strength to a certain extent. After all, a high cultivation level would allow a martial artist to use their own strength to a more precise level.
"Don't blame me for not giving you a chance." Xiahou Yuan sneered. His eyes emitted a shocking killing intent. He quickly raised his right hand. His index finger and middle finger were like a sword. With a slight tremble, the sword pierced through the air.
A Sword Yuan pierced through the air. It was just a Sword Yuan without any sword intent or profound.
In the eyes of Xiahou Yuan and the others, a Level Nine Origin Realm Sword Yuan was enough to kill the opponent. Even if the opponent's strength was ten times stronger, he still wouldn't be able to defend against it.
When Xiahou Yuan closed his sword finger, Chu Mu had already predicted the trajectory of his attack. He took a step forward. It was as if the two of them had discussed and rehearsed this move many times. The Sword Yuan that shot out at high speed didn't kill Chu Mu as expected. Instead, it narrowly flew past him. Just a little bit more and it would have killed Chu Mu.
When the finger missed, the crowd below the Life and Death Ring exclaimed in disbelief. Xiahou Yuan's face darkened. It was a little ugly. He had previously bet that he could kill the opponent easily.
Thinking of this, Xiahou Yuan became ruthless. His sword finger continuously shot out. Sword Yuan pierced through the air like a storm and all of them shot towards Chu Mu. Similarly, the Sword Yuan that shot out didn't contain any sword intent or profound.
The storm-like Sword Yuan densely covered all directions. It completely sealed off all of Chu Mu's paths. At least in the eyes of the others, that was the case. But in Chu Mu's eyes, the storm-like Sword Yuan had clear trajectories. Their speed and trajectories were all under Chu Mu's perception.
His small steps moved at a high frequency. His body moved left and right along with his footsteps. Before he dodged, he kept moving forward.
In the realm of the Sword of Heaven and Earth, the essence of the Heart and Sword as One was still there. Although the range was greatly reduced due to various reasons, it could still cover a range of ten meters. Moreover, with his extraordinary eyesight, Chu Mu could make judgments earlier. The application of his own strength beyond the limit made Chu Mu's explosive power stronger and his reaction more flexible.
Everyone thought that Chu Mu would be pierced through by Xiahou Yuan's Sword Yuan and turned into a beehive. Chu Wangdao was even more anxious.
However, they saw that Chu Mu was like a flexible fish, shuttling through the dense Sword Yuan and rapidly approaching Xiahou Yuan. That kind of speed was completely not the speed that a Level Twelve Qi Refining Realm cultivator should have. Even the speed of a True Realm cultivator couldn't compare with it.
"So fast!" The Nirvana Realm cultivator was surprised. He could see that Chu Mu didn't use any profound footwork, but he had such an amazing speed, which made him extremely shocked.
In between flashes, his figure was erratic and unpredictable. A Sword Light streaked across the sky. It was as if it had hit a star and caused it to fall.
Sky Sword Art – Sky Falling Stars!
After being improved by Chu Mu, the Sky Sword Art had reached the level of Nirvana Realm. Its power was even more tyrannical. Moreover, under the enhancement of the Sword Dao's origin, its power was further enhanced. Under the boost of a Level Twelve Qi Refining Realm cultivator, its power made Xiahou Yuan feel threatened.
Without any hesitation, Xiahou Yuan pulled out his sword.
His sword's spine was blood red. It was called the Blood Spine Sword and was a mid-grade Bejeweled Weapon.
"He pulled out his sword!"
"I lost."
"I lost too."
Seeing Xiahou Yuan pull out his sword, many people immediately wailed.
"Kill, kill him with one strike!"
Those who bet on the sword move all clenched their fists and shouted with a ferocious expression.
Sword Light suddenly appeared and the sword intent burst out. Under the Profound of Blood, the blood red light condensed. The tyrannical power of a Level Nine True Realm cultivator was fully displayed.
However, this tyrannical sword didn't hit Chu Mu. Like dancing on the tip of a knife, he dodged it by a hair's breadth.
Sky Breaking Moon!
The resplendent starlight was like a meteor, shattering the moon.
Once the Sword Light was released, Xiahou Yuan's expression changed. In his eyes, he could only see the Sword Light, like a meteor descending from the sky. A strong sense of danger made his hair stand up. He didn't even have the time to think about how a mere Level Twelve Qi Refinement Realm cultivator could threaten him, a Level Nine True Realm cultivator.
"Blood Sea Overflowing Sky!" With a furious roar, Lin Fan unleashed all of his power. Blood-red sword Qi transformed into a torrential wave of blood that surged out unceasingly. The crowd below the Life and Death Arena seemed to see a shocking wave of blood surging over. A dense smell of blood assaulted their nostrils. The terrifying aura made it difficult for them to breathe. They were all extremely terrified.
Under Chu Mu's perception, the Blood Sea Overflowing Sky wasn't a real Blood Sea. It was a sword infused with the Profound of Blood. In an instant, dozens of swords burst out, forming a torrential Blood Sea.
The Sword Light flashed and turned into a shadow. It brought Chu Mu's figure into the Blood Sea as if he was walking into a trap.
Sky Chasing Shadow!
This move of the Sky Sword Art wasn't for killing. Instead, it was for the user to burst out with a shocking speed, causing the user to turn into a shadow. To a certain extent, it could avoid some damage.
Passing through the Blood Sea, Chu Mu changed his sword move.
Dao Seeking Sword Art – Rise From Nothing!
Sky Emptiness!
Spirit, Qi and Soul were forcefully combined. The resplendent Sword Light seemed to have lost all its brilliance in an instant. It disappeared, along with the sword and Chu Mu's figure, it seemed to have merged into the void.
Xiahou Yuan opened his eyes wide, but he couldn't see anything. He could only use his spiritual sense to scan and lock onto Chu Mu's figure. However, his spiritual sense was obviously disrupted.
He forcefully reversed his cultivation method and instantly condensed his Sword Qi into a point of Sword Origin to drive the Sky Sword Art. He also used one-millionth of the original power of Sword Principle, causing the power of this sword to reach the extreme.
In an instant, Chu Mu and Xiahou Yuan passed each other and appeared a few meters behind Xiahou Yuan. However, Xiahou Yuan stood where he was and didn't move. A dark red dot appeared between his eyebrows and slowly spread out.
