Of the 1,000 Bronze Slaughter Runes, Chu Mu only took 500 and gave the other 500 to Mingjing. However, Mingjing refused to accept it at first, but she later changed her mind.
"Alright. I'll treat these 500 Bronze Massacre Secret Runes as a gift from you to me, your brother-in-law," Mingjing said shamelessly.
"Hand it over," Chu Mu demanded rudely, his expression darkening.
"You're shameless enough to take back a gift you've already given me? Your face can definitely withstand an Emperor's attack," Mingjing mocked.
"I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I'm going to move on to my next mission," Chu Mu said. If he continued to argue, who knew what world he would end up in?
"What mission?" Mingjing asked.
"Kill ten people from both the God and Demon races," Chu Mu said.
"Alright. My next mission is different from yours. It seems we'll have to part ways for now, but that's fine. I have high hopes for you, brother-in-law. We'll meet again in Human City." Mingjing patted Chu Mu's shoulder and spoke sincerely. Without waiting for Chu Mu's response, her figure flashed and she immediately left.
Chu Mu shook his head, speechless. However, he paid her no mind and headed in another direction.
He hadn't received his reward yet, as there was still over a month before the mission ended. Only after the mission ended would he receive his reward according to his final ranking.
Chu Mu estimated that no one would be able to surpass him in the next month or so.
…
Not long after Chu Mu and Mingjing left Sword Cliff, two more figures arrived. One was a youth, and the other was a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man's aura felt as vast as the sea. He was definitely an expert who had surpassed the Exceptional Realm.
With this expert's escort, the youth, who had only reached the Second Refinement of the Exceptional Realm, could reach Sword Cliff from Human City in a short 20 days.
"Uncle Yuan, I'll go leave my name," the youth said, his voice neither cold nor warm.
"Mhm." The middle-aged man nodded. He then looked at Sword Cliff and noticed the changes. He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, but when he took a closer look, shock filled his face.
"When did someone surpass Chu Huangji and surpass him by ten feet?" The middle-aged man was incomparably shocked. He knew Chu Huangji very well. In terms of seniority, Chu Huangji was younger than him. However, in terms of cultivation and strength, Chu Huangji was superior to him. To be in the same generation as such a person was simply a tragedy.
Chu Huangji's name had been the number one on the Sword Cliff for a thousand years, causing countless challengers to feel despair. Now, someone had actually broken this legend and surpassed Chu Huangji.
"Chu Royal Court, who is this? What does it have to do with Chu Huangji? "
They were both surnamed Chu, and they were both such geniuses. It was inevitable that others would suspect them.
The young man's eyes were fixed on the three words, the light in his eyes flickering.
"Originally, my goal was to surpass Chu Huangji. Who would have thought that there would actually be someone who succeeded before me. Chu Wangting, since that's the case, I will surpass you." The young man muttered to himself in a low voice. He took a step forward and as if he had teleported, he directly appeared at the bottom of the Sword Cliff.
Without any movement, even the fluctuations of his power were difficult to sense. The young man's body soared up. His body flickered as if he was not suppressed by the power of the Sword Cliff. He continued to soar up at a steady and rapid speed. In the blink of an eye, he had reached a height of eighty feet.
At this point, the pressure of the Sword Cliff had increased to an astonishing level.
Eighty three feet!
Eighty five feet!
Eighty six feet!
The young man's body flickered faster and faster. Eighty nine feet!
This height was already Chu Huangji's height, but the young man seemed to feel that it was still not enough. In an instant, the power he had accumulated burst out and his body rose even higher, reaching ninety feet.
"Is there another ninety feet?"
"Too amazing."
"I didn't come here in vain."
Ninety feet, this was the highest height that the young man could reach.
With a flash of cold light, a long blade was unsheathed. In an instant, hundreds of blades slashed towards the Sword Cliff. It was like a meteor shower falling from the sky.
Immediately after, the young man's body descended.
Nie Kong!
The two words shone brightly, illuminating the surroundings.
When the name landed, it did not land at ninety feet, nor did it land above ninety feet. Instead, it landed below ninety feet and above eighty nine feet.
In other words, Nie Kong's name finally landed above Chu Huangji's. It was only a few inches away from Chu Huangji's name, and close to ten feet away from Chu Wangting's name.
"Another one has surpassed Chu Huangji."
"What's happening recently? There are actually two geniuses who have surpassed Chu Huangji."
Ten feet was surpassing. A few inches was also surpassing.
"Chu Wangting!" Nie Kong muttered to himself and turned to leave. The middle-aged man quickly followed.
…
Within the Slaughter World, there were different cities according to different races, and there was a long distance between each city.
However, in general, the cities in the Massacre World could be divided into three camps. The first camp was an alliance formed by the humans, the Vajra Race, the Beastmen Race, the Soldier Race, and other cities that belonged to the Origin Realm. The second camp was the Celestial Race, and the third camp was the Demon Race.
The three camps were clearly separated. They were entrenched in three different directions of the Massacre World. The central area was a battlefield, known as the Massacre Battlefield. It was a chaotic place that did not belong to any camp.
On the Massacre Battlefield, there were many Massacre Behemoths. There were even some King Level Massacre Behemoths that were rarely seen. It should be known that King Level Massacre Behemoths represented rare Massacre Runes. The effects of rare Massacre Runes were often better than ordinary runes. Even if one did not use them, they could sell them and obtain a large sum of wealth.
Therefore, many people took the risk to enter the Massacre Battlefield to hunt King Level Massacre Behemoths.
In addition to hunting for King-level Slaughterer Beasts, they might also encounter inheritances left behind by some powerful warriors in the past. Moreover, they might also encounter people from other races who could be hunted down and made a fortune.
All in all, entering the Massacre Battlefield was like killing three birds with one stone. Of course, one had to have enough strength. Otherwise, one would just be delivering food to others.
Chu Mu's purpose was to enter the Massacre Battlefield. There, he could find traces of the God Race and the Demon Race. Of course, in addition to entering the Massacre Battlefield, one could directly enter the camp of the God Race and the Demon Race to find more God Race and the Demon Race. However, that method was like throwing meat buns at a dog. One careless mistake would cause one to lose one's life.
Chu Mu was not that stupid. He was not that naive to think that he could break into the camp of the God Race and the Demon Race alone. That was not self-confidence, but ignorance.
Ten days later, Chu Mu officially left the boundary of the Human City and stepped into the Massacre Battlefield.
An incomparably strong Evil Spirit pervaded the air. The ground that was dyed red and dried brown by blood constantly emitted a pungent smell. The sky seemed to be shrouded by a layer of blood-red clouds and the sky could not be seen.
As soon as he stepped into the Massacre Battlefield, he happened to encounter a five-man team coming out of the Massacre Battlefield.
"Friend, are you alone?" The leader of the team asked.
Chu Mu nodded.
"If you dare to enter the Massacre Battlefield alone, you must have extraordinary skills. However, the Massacre Battlefield is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. Friend, you must be vigilant and do not trust others easily." The man advised.
"Thank you." Chu Mu said.
The other party smiled and led the team forward.
"It's too bold of him to enter the Massacre Battlefield alone."
"Maybe he really has the ability."
"Or maybe he doesn't know anything. He just foolishly went in and didn't come back."
Usually, people who entered the Massacre Battlefield tended to form groups. At the very least, they would form a small team of several people to look after each other. Of course, the strength gap between the members of the team could not be too great. Otherwise, the weaker members would drag the team down.
However, there were some exceptions. A small number of people acted alone. They might be used to acting alone, or they might feel that it was easier and more flexible to act alone than in a team. In short, people who dared to act alone were either naive and ignorant, or they had tyrannical strength.
Only with strength would one have more confidence.
This was just a small interlude. Although Chu Mu was confident in his strength, he would not blindly think that he was invincible. After all, he was just a sword cultivator who had just reached the First Refinement of the Exceptional Realm. Even if his strength far exceeded his cultivation, he would only be slightly stronger than an ordinary Fifth Refinement of the Exceptional Realm. He was not even comparable to a Little Sacred Master. With such cultivation, he would be considered an expert in the Deep Blue World. However, in this place, he could only be considered to have stepped into the threshold of an expert.
He was on high alert and carefully observed all the movements around him.
However, the place where he had just entered the Massacre Battlefield was usually a safer place.
Not long after, Chu Mu encountered a middle class Slaughtering Beast. It was a middle class third stage Slaughtering Beast. Under Chu Mu's sword, this Slaughtering Beast died, leaving behind three bronze rank Slaughtering Secret Runes.
As he continued to move forward, he continued to encounter Slaughtering Beasts. Most of them were Intermediate Rank One, Rank Two, Rank Three, and Rank Four. Chu Mu discovered that the Slaughtering Beasts on the Massacre Battlefield seemed to be slightly stronger than the Slaughtering Beasts of the same rank outside the Massacre Battlefield. The probability of obtaining the maximum number of Slaughter Secret Runes after killing them was much higher.
Just based on this point alone, it was much better than outside the Massacre Battlefield.
Not long after, Chu Mu's Bronze Rank Slaughter Secret Runes increased by a few dozen. Now, he just had to wait for the completion of the mission to leave his name on the Sword Cliff to obtain the reward. According to many people's speculations, the mission reward would definitely be a rare Slaughter Rune. It might even be a rare Growth-type Slaughter Rune. If it was really the latter, his Slaughter Secret Runes would come in handy very soon. He might even have to kill more Slaughtering Beasts to obtain more Slaughter Secret Runes.
This mission to kill ten Divine Race and ten Demon Race had a time limit of one year. Almost two months had passed, so there were at least ten months left. It should be enough.
