Chu Mu estimated his own strength. After accepting a few missions, he quickly left the Massacre Divine Palace. He didn't even go to the rune store. Instead, he directly left the Human City.
Among the missions he had chosen, the one with the shortest time limit was the one to leave his name on the Sword Cliff. Therefore, he had to be the first to complete it. It was better to get the reward as soon as possible.
Apart from Chu Mu, there were many others who had chosen to leave their name on the Sword Cliff. The time limit was also three months. Therefore, they all set off immediately.
Most people could accept the mission, but those who had already left their name on the Sword Cliff couldn't accept it.
The Sword Cliff was located in the boundary of the Human City. It could also be said that it was located at the edge of the Human City. If a peerless expert traveled at full speed from the Human City, theoretically, they could reach the Sword Cliff in half a month. However, the problem was that on the way to the Sword Cliff, they would have to pass through the territory of the low-level Slaughtering Beasts, and then the territory of the mid-level Slaughtering Beasts. If the route was slightly off or if they were unlucky, they might even encounter high-level Slaughtering Beasts.
High-Level Slaughtering Beasts were monarch level Slaughtering Beasts. Once a peerless expert encountered one, there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that they would be killed and turned into nutrients for the Slaughtering Beasts.
Therefore, although it sounded like a lot of time to reach the Sword Cliff from the Human City in three months, it wasn't. Along the way, they would encounter many Slaughtering Beasts. There was no need to worry about the low-level Slaughtering Beasts, but they had to pay attention to the mid-level Slaughtering Beasts, especially those that had surpassed the fifth rank.
"Hey, friend, did you also accept the mission to leave your name on the Sword Cliff?" Not long after they left the Human City, someone came to Chu Mu's side and asked.
"Yes." Chu Mu looked back. It was a young man with a smile on his face. He gave off a good impression at first glance.
"My name is Ming Jing. What's your name?" The young man caught up with Chu Mu and walked side by side with Chu Mu.
"Chu Wangting." Chu Mu said, giving the name he used in the Slaughtering Royal Palace. After all, the Slaughtering Royal Palace was connected to the Slaughtering World. Who knew if the Slaughtering Royal Palace would send some information about him into the Slaughtering World when he entered?
"Chu Royal Court, a good name. Just hearing it gives off the aura of a king." Mingjing said smoothly, "Look at Brother Chu. His temperament is extraordinary. He must be a dragon among men."
Chu Mu couldn't help but be speechless. Not only was this person friendly, but he also had a glib tongue.
"What advice does Brother Mingjing have for me?" Chu Mu asked.
"I wouldn't dare to give you advice. I just want to find a companion to accompany me to the Sword Cliff so that I won't be bored on the way." Mingjing grinned. "From now on, we'll be companions once we reach the Sword Cliff."
Chu Mu felt that this person's skin must be very thick. Perhaps he could even defend against his Snow Night Sword.
After that, Chu Mu began to regret his decision. If he had known earlier, he would have resolutely rejected the idea of going together with the other party, even though he didn't know if he would succeed.
"Brother Chu, which domain did you come from?"
"How old is Brother Chu?"
"Is Brother Chu betrothed yet?"
"What kind of woman does Brother Chu like?"
"Brother Chu, I have a younger sister. She's extremely beautiful and peerlessly beautiful. How about I introduce her to you?"
Chu Mu decided to ignore the other party, but the other party kept talking. He finally understood why the other party wanted someone to accompany him.
The low-level Slaughtering Beasts discovered Chu Mu and Mingjing and immediately charged over. Mingjing spoke endlessly as he casually waved his hand. Sword Qi shot out, instantly killing the low-level Slaughtering Beasts one after another.
Mingjing's cultivation was even higher than Chu Mu's. He was a peerless Second Refinement. Chu Mu could see that his strength was even higher than his cultivation. He was a genius, but he didn't know exactly how strong he was. Only when Mingjing used most of his strength would he be able to tell.
Soon, the two of them entered the area of the mid-level Slaughtering Beasts. The Slaughtering Beasts in the periphery of the mid-level Slaughtering Beasts were mostly Rank One, Rank Two, and Rank Three. Mingjing would occasionally attack and kill the mid-level Slaughtering Beasts.
Three Slaughtering Beasts surrounded them from three directions. Mingjing directly took down two of them, while the remaining Rank Three Slaughtering Beast charged at Chu Mu.
A frosty Sword Light flashed and pierced through the mid-level Rank Three Slaughtering Beast, killing it in one strike. Mingjing also killed the other two mid-level Rank Three Slaughtering Beasts. He glanced at Chu Mu's sword from the corner of his eye and was secretly shocked.
He could see that Chu Mu's cultivation was at the early stage of the First Refinement of the Exceptional Realm. However, he was able to kill a mid-level Rank Three Slaughtering Beast with one strike. He was able to easily kill a mid-level Rank Three Slaughtering Beast that was two whole levels higher. This meant that Chu Mu's strength was several times stronger than an ordinary Third Refinement Exceptional Realm expert. He might even be comparable to an ordinary Fourth Refinement Exceptional Realm expert.
"My eyesight is really good. I can find a genius that isn't inferior to me just by randomly finding a partner." Mingjing said narcissistically, "It seems that I should really introduce my sister to you."
Chu Mu's body trembled for no reason. He subconsciously looked at Mingjing. He just happened to see Mingjing's shining eyes. He knew that Mingjing was thinking about something.
When Mingjing saw Chu Mu kill a mid-level Rank Three Slaughtering Beast with one strike at the early stage of the First Refinement of the Exceptional Realm, she estimated Chu Mu's strength. When Chu Mu saw Mingjing kill two mid-level Rank Three Slaughtering Beasts with one strike, he also secretly estimated Mingjing's strength. He came to the conclusion that Mingjing's strength was probably at the level of the Fourth Refinement Exceptional Realm, or perhaps even stronger.
Thinking back, it made sense. Only a true genius would dare to take on a mission like leaving their name on the Sword Cliff. Otherwise, they would just be looking for trouble. If they weren't careful, they might even die on the way.
Along the way, other than Chu Mu and Mingjing's team, there were many other teams formed by geniuses. There were groups of three, four, or five people.
"Oh, Mingjing, you've actually found another person. Did you make the last one go crazy?"
When they met a three-person team, one of them saw Mingjing and sneered. It was a handsome young man with long hair that reached his shoulders. Behind him was a man and a woman.
Then, this person looked at Chu Mu.
"Pitiful guy, I advise you to leave Mingjing as soon as possible. Otherwise, that mouth of his will definitely give you nightmares. You won't even be able to concentrate on your cultivation. Who knows when you'll suffer from cultivation deviation," this person said to Chu Mu. It sounded like he was trying to persuade him, but at the same time, he was trying to drive a wedge between them.
Chu Mu didn't say anything. He noticed that after this person appeared, Mingjing's expression became a little ugly. Although it was only for a moment, Chu Mu firmly believed that he hadn't seen wrong.
"It looks like there must be some deep conflict between Mingjing and this person," Chu Mu said to himself.
However, this had nothing to do with him.
"You two still don't know what kind of person this person is. Be careful. You don't even know when you'll be sold." Mingjing ignored this person and instead spoke to the man and woman behind him. A dark look flashed across the man's face.
Clearly, he understood Mingjing, and Mingjing understood him.
"Nonsense, Senior Brother Ye isn't that kind of person. He's definitely more reliable than you." The man didn't react, but the woman retorted as if she had been provoked.
This was just a small interlude on their journey to Sword Cliff. They had been at each other's throats for a while, but they hadn't attacked. This was because Mingjing wasn't confident in killing this person, and the other person wasn't confident in killing Mingjing either. Since that was the case, what was the point of killing the others?
They continued forward. Mingjing became much quieter, completely different from her previous behavior. Chu Mu knew that Mingjing must have a lot on her mind, and it was related to the man surnamed Ye. However, he and Mingjing had only met by chance. They couldn't even be considered friends, so he naturally wouldn't ask too much. Even if he did ask, Mingjing might not tell him.
Mingjing didn't say anything, so Chu Mu's ears naturally became much quieter.
The two of them hurried forward. Along the way, they were attacked by mid-level Slaughtering Beasts from time to time, but they were killed by them. However, Chu Mu didn't even have the chance to attack. The mid-level Slaughtering Beasts died under Mingjing's sword, as if they were venting their anger.
Mid-level Slaughtering Beasts could be divided into nine ranks and the invincible king rank. They encountered a mid-level fifth-rank Slaughtering Beast. Mingjing erupted with her true strength. Her sword technique was incomparably sharp, and her killing intent was astonishing. Every strike was ruthless, completely different from her previous attacks. This was her true strength, and this was the sword technique she had truly cultivated.
Chu Mu didn't attack. He just watched from the side.
This mid-level fifth-rank Slaughtering Beast was about the same strength as the black bear he had killed before. It could be seen that Mingjing's cultivation was at the Second Refinement of the Exceptional Realm, but her true strength had reached the Fifth Refinement of the Exceptional Realm.
She unleashed her full strength. Her sword technique was incomparably sharp, and her killing intent was astonishing. She fought fiercely with the mid-level fifth-rank Slaughtering Beast. After a hundred moves, Mingjing killed the mid-level fifth-rank Slaughtering Beast.
"She's a relatively strong Fifth Refinement Beast. She's not even a Little Sacred Master," Chu Mu thought. Her strength was about the same as his current strength.
Of course, it was also because his cultivation was one level lower than Mingjing's. If they were at the same cultivation, Chu Mu's cultivation would definitely be stronger than Mingjing's.
However, it was also the first time Chu Mu had encountered such a genius cultivator. She was definitely a rare genius to be able to display the strength of the Fifth Refinement of the Exceptional Realm at the Second Refinement of the Exceptional Realm. She was much more of a genius than the Azure Holy Son and the Sword Of Gojoseon from the Scarlet Red Region's Scarlet Flame Region.
The difference between each refinement of the Exceptional Realm was definitely much greater than the difference between each Heavenly Layer of the Eternal Realm. Therefore, it was very difficult for a genius who could fight across three Heavenly Layers in the Eternal Realm to fight across two Heavenly Layers after entering the Exceptional Realm.
After killing the mid-level fifth-rank Slaughtering Beast, Mingjing's anger seemed to have mostly been vented.
"Brother Chu, have you been stunned by my valiant appearance? Have you been frightened by my strength?" Mingjing giggled as she spoke in an infuriating manner.
"Yes, I didn't expect Brother Mingjing's Second Refinement to have the strength of the Fifth Refinement. You're really too strong and shocking. Where did Brother Mingjing come from?" Chu Mu smiled.
"I'm from the Great Sky Region. I'm the top genius of the Great Sky Region. How about it? You'll feel very honored to be my brother-in-law." Mingjing said with a smug look.
