(Monthly Vote Lord, Where Are You?)
Three words, one name. Radiance flickered as they slowly descended.
Everyone's attention was drawn to it. Chu Mu glanced at Mingjing from the corner of his eye. Mingjing's pale-white hands were clenched into fists.
In Mingjing's opinion, this was the moment that would decide the outcome of this battle.
Although 1,000 Bronze Massacre Secret Runes wasn't a small amount, he could still afford it. The main reason was that if he lost, he would be constantly suppressed by Ye Jingyun. Mingjing absolutely couldn't allow that to happen. He and Ye Jingyun had an undying hatred for each other. Unfortunately, his current strength wasn't enough to kill Ye Jingyun, which was why he had held himself back.
His enemy was right in front of him, but he had no choice but to resist the urge to attack. It was a kind of torment, a kind of torture. Because of this, he forced himself to act like a heartless person and become a chatterbox. He used this method to temporarily forget the hatred in his heart. However, every time he saw Ye Jingyun, his emotions would fluctuate greatly and he would almost lose control of himself.
Ye Jingyun also understood this. Hence, he kept attacking Mingjing. He knew that his strength wasn't inferior to Mingjing's, but it would be very difficult for him to kill Mingjing. Hence, he didn't make a move. Both sides were waiting for a suitable opportunity. That would be the time to decide life and death.
When Ye Jingyun's name finally fell, Mingjing's body swayed, and his face instantly turned pale. Ye Jingyun, on the other hand, let out a complacent laugh.
Fourteenth place!
Yes, Ye Jingyun's name had appeared at the fourteenth place, suppressing Mingjing's name.
If Mingjing's condition hadn't been affected in the slightest, he might've been able to compete with Ye Jingyun. Unfortunately, his emotions had been affected by Ye Jingyun, causing him to become unstable. This caused his performance to be slightly off. The consequences of a slight influence were obvious.
"Mingjing, you've lost," Ye Jingyun said as he turned and walked towards Mingjing. He didn't take Chu Mu seriously at all.
In Ye Jingyun's opinion, geniuses of their level were already very rare. It wasn't easy to encounter one, let alone someone more talented than them.
"Don't worry, I'm still here." Chu Mu stepped forward, walking towards the Sword Cliff step by step.
"Let's take a look." Ye Jingyun said with a smile, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. Mingjing looked deeply at Chu Mu. She remained silent, but her fingernails dug into her palms.
"You dare to compare yourself to Senior Brother Ye?" Ye Jing Yun's woman mocked and ridiculed Chu Mu, but Chu Mu ignored her as if he did not hear her.
Everyone's gaze fell on Chu Mu. They had all heard the exchange between Ye Jingyun and Ming Jing.
Chu Mu's footsteps seemed to be slow, but at the same time, it was fast. Very soon, he reached the bottom of the Sword Cliff. The Truth Seeking Technique had long been activated. Great True Power filled his entire body. The origin of the one hundred thousandth of the Sword Dao was also flourishing.
Xiao Chen exerted force in his legs and his strength erupted. He struck the ground and his body soared into the sky like a rocket. His speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had covered a distance of five hundred feet.
"So fast!"
"This person's cultivation is not high, but his speed is so fast. It's too shocking."
Ye Jingyun and Ming Jing's expressions changed greatly, but their feelings were completely different.
At five hundred feet, Chu Mu felt that the pressure was getting stronger and stronger. It kept crashing down from the sky, trying to knock his body down to the ground. However, Chu Mu's strength erupted a second time. He charged upwards again, reaching a height of seven hundred feet. But this was not enough.
The third time, he reached a height of eight hundred feet. Then, his feet stepped on the void as if there were stairs beneath his feet.
Sky Climbing Stairs!
Step by step, he quickly reached a height of eight hundred and fifty feet. This had already surpassed the height of Ming Jing and Ye Jingyun.
Ye Jingyun's right hand clenched into a fist. Ming Jing's eyes flashed with excitement.
"So high!"
"If his name is not bad, he may even be in the top ten."
"Even if he reaches a high height, he may not be able to leave his name," the woman who was with Ye Jingyun mocked again.
In the past, this kind of situation had happened before. However, most of the time, it was because they had used their strength to reach a high height. As a result, they had not been able to leave their name successfully and had failed at the last moment.
However, eight hundred and fifty feet was not Chu Mu's final height. His body continued to climb.
Eight hundred and sixty feet!
Eight hundred and seventy feet!
Everyone held their breaths, as if they were afraid of disturbing Chu Mu. However, they all stared with wide eyes, their faces full of shock.
Eight hundred and eighty feet!
Eight hundred and ninety feet!
This height was enough to suppress countless geniuses. If he could leave his name successfully, he would at least be in the top five.
Ye Jingyun's left hand clenched. He wanted to attack with his sword. He did not want to kill his opponent, but at least he wanted to disturb his opponent and prevent him from leaving his name. However, he could not do so in front of so many people.
The woman who was with Ye Jingyun suddenly attacked. She lowered her right hand and bent her fingers slightly. She quickly flicked her finger. A ray of light shot out like Sword Qi towards Chu Mu.
It was so fast that Ming Jing could not react in time.
"Despicable!" Ming Jing was furious.
The ray of light had already shot towards Chu Mu. Strangely, the ray of light was not suppressed by the power of the Sword Cliff. In fact, it was not affected at all. It was as if the Sword Cliff would not care about such a thing, or perhaps they did not have the ability to distinguish.
In short, the ray of light was already closing in on Chu Mu.
Under normal circumstances, it would definitely be disturbed, which would cause the fluctuation of one's power to become unstable and ultimately lead to failure.
Chu Mu's ability to adapt to the situation was fully demonstrated. A ray of Sword Light descended like frost, directly shattering the ray of light. Then, he cleverly used the impact of the collision between the sword and the ray of light to fuse with his own power, causing his body to rise higher again.
Nine hundred feet!
This was a new height, a height that made one's blood boil.
Ming Jing clenched her fists, her face flushed red, and her heart was filled with excitement.
The frost-like sword light bloomed high up in the sky like a blooming ice lotus. It was beautiful and magnificent. It was a strange phenomenon caused by the speed of the sword. It was also a strange phenomenon caused by an extremely high level of swordsmanship.
The Sword Light swirled in the air. It seemed like a thousand years, but it was also only an instant. The frost-like Sword Light vanished and the ice lotus faded. In the end, it dissipated into the air, and Chu Mu's figure descended.
The three words' Chu Imperial Court 'exploded with light, incomparably resplendent, surpassing any other name in the past.
"He'll definitely be in the top three."
"He might even be in the top two."
"First. Perhaps he can fight for first place."
The first place was so frightening that it made one's heart tremble.
Chu Huangji had already been in first place for a thousand years. Every year, many geniuses would come here to leave their names, but no one had ever been able to surpass Chu Huangji. Let alone surpassing him, no one had even managed to tie with him. The difference between second place and Chu Huangji was a full five feet.
That five feet was like a heavenly moat. For a thousand years, countless people had challenged it, but no one had been able to surpass it.
Would he be able to do it this time?
Everyone was looking forward to it, but their hearts were filled with complicated emotions. They wanted to see it, but they also didn't want to see it. Chu Huangji had already suppressed so many geniuses for a thousand years. If another one appeared, how would these geniuses feel?
Especially if this person was called Chu Imperial Court, and also had the surname Chu.
The three shimmering words of Chu Imperial Court finally landed on the mirror-like Sword Cliff. The place where they landed caused everyone's eyes to widen. Their breathing became rapid, and their chests rose and fell rapidly like bellows.
"Impossible!" Ye Jingyun exclaimed in a low voice. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"This guy … no, I must introduce my sister to him and make him my brother-in-law," Ming Jing muttered to herself, but her tone became more and more certain.
First place!
Yes, the place where Chu Imperial Court's name landed was exactly five hundred feet, directly above Chu Huangji's name. Moreover, there was a gap of ten feet between them.
Looking at all the names below, there were at least a thousand of them. The biggest gap was only five feet between Chu Huangji and the name below him. The other names were less than a quarter of a foot apart. Now, only Chu Imperial Court's name was above Chu Huangji's name, a gap of more than ten feet.
A gap of ten feet was undoubtedly very obvious. It was like a super heavenly moat, as far as the distance between them was as great as an entire world.
Some people cried on the spot.
One Chu Huangji had suppressed countless geniuses for a thousand years. Now, another Chu Imperial Court had appeared, a height that surpassed Chu Huangji's by ten feet. Was he planning to suppress the other geniuses for ten thousand years?
"Too savage," Ming Jing couldn't help but say. Originally, she thought that Chu Imperial Court was inferior to her. At best, they were barely on par. She hadn't expected that she was far inferior to Chu Imperial Court.
Those who had personally experienced the Sword Cliff knew very well how difficult it was to climb a height of ninety feet.
Surpassing the past and present!
This was the only word that everyone present could think of. It was the most appropriate word to describe the scene before them.
"Ninety feet!" Chu Mu withdrew his gaze and sighed softly. Although he felt a little dissatisfied, this was the height that he could reach with all his strength. Of course, if he had exploded with more Sword Principle Source power, perhaps the height would have been higher.
However, there was no need for that. Ninety feet was already above the original first place, a full ten feet higher. It was estimated that before the end of the task, no one would surpass him. Even if there was, he would have a second chance to attack.
Turning around, Chu Mu smiled and glanced at the woman who had sneakily attacked him. His calm gaze made the woman tremble involuntarily and her heart turn cold. Immediately, Chu Mu's gaze fell on Ye Jingyun's face.
"I think you will admit defeat," Chu Mu said to Ye Jingyun unhurriedly.
Ye Jingyun left behind a thousand Bronze-level Massacre Sigils and turned to leave with a pale face. He was afraid that he would go crazy if he stayed.
