The Sword Light was sharp and as fast as lightning, sweeping across the void.
This strike did not use sword energy or artistic conception. It was not even a basic move of swordsmanship. It was just a simple horizontal strike of basic swordsmanship.
The One-stripe Blood Demon that was charging at him paused. Its head flew high into the air and fell to the ground.
The Blood Demons did not have sword energy similar to human swordsmen's sword energy. They relied on the strength of their blood and the toughness of their skin. Moreover, the strength of their blood would create an invisible layer of protection on their tough skin.
Even the skin of a One-stripe Blood Demon could not be cut open by a pseudo sword, unless the pseudo sword was imbued with innate sword energy.
Even with the sharpness of an inferior-grade sword, it was not easy to cut open the skin of a one-mark Blood Demon without using his innate sword aura and intent realm, let alone cut off his head with a single strike.
Chu Mu did it.
It was not that his Breeze Sword was sharper than other inferior-grade swords. It was just a very ordinary inferior-grade sword.
The reason why he could cut off the head of the One-stripe Blood Demon with one strike was that Chu Mu had unleashed 100% or even 120% of the sharpness of the Breeze Sword.
When the sword cut the neck of the Blood Demon, Chu Mu had used the swordsmanship techniques he had inherited. He had shaken the blade at a high speed, causing a high frequency of vibration and creating an even more terrifying cutting force.
This was completely based on his unfathomable swordsmanship attainments and his compatibility with the sword.
An excellent swordsman had to understand the sword in his hand. He had to be 100% compatible with the sword in his hand in order to unleash 120% of the sword's power.
Otherwise, even if he was given a better sword, he would not be able to unleash the sword's power perfectly if he was not 100% compatible with the sword. He would not be able to unleash the sword's power perfectly, and he would not be able to inflict too much damage.
There was a saying in the world of swordsmen on Earth: When you are perfectly compatible with the sword in your hand and your swordsmanship is cultivated to an unfathomable level, even ghosts and gods will have to retreat when the two become one.
"The frequency of vibration is higher. My swordsmanship attainments have indeed improved."
When his gaze fell on the front, Chu Mu was immediately shocked.
The one-striped Blood Demon's head rapidly shriveled until only a piece of skin was left on the ground. However, there was no blood spurting out from the headless body of the little blood demon. The wound on its neck kept wriggling, and a mass of red suddenly shot out. At first, it was only the size of an egg, but it quickly expanded, and a brand-new head appeared.
"No wonder it's said that the heart is the Blood Demon's only weakness." Chu Mu calmed down and stabbed out. The condensed Sword Light pierced through the little Blood Demon's heart.
After picking out the Blood Demon Core, Chu Mu felt strange. The Blood Demon Core was found in the head of the little Blood Demon.
There was no Blood Demon Core in the head that he had cut off earlier, but it just so happened that there was one in this newly born head.
After thinking for a while, Chu Mu could not figure out the mystery. He gave up thinking about it. There were too many things that he needed to think about. There was no need for him to waste his time on things that were not of direct and practical help to him.
During the trip to the Blood Demon Realm, Chu Mu had shifted his focus from collecting more Blood Demon Cores to honing his basic swordsmanship. He was striving to improve his mastery of basic swordsmanship again in the short period of one month so that he could reach a higher level of swordsmanship.
Swoosh … Bang …
Suddenly, a sharp sound came from afar. Chu Mu looked over and saw a ray of light shooting into the sky from the ground and exploding like fireworks.
"It's similar to a signal flare. Blood Demons don't have such things. It should be a swordsman who has entered the Blood Demon Realm."
With a thought, Chu Mu performed Quick Wind Shadow and rushed toward the signal flare.
Since there was a signal flare, it meant that there was danger. The danger in the Blood Demon Realm usually came from the little Blood Demons.
Based on this conjecture, it was possible that the students of the Sword Mansion had sent out the signal flare for help because there were many little Blood Demons surrounding them. Chu Mu's goal was to get closer and take a look. If it was within his ability, he would kill them.
But if the little Blood Demons were too strong, he could only watch them die.
"Kill!"
"Why are there so many of them?"
"Delicious, delicious blood."
"This is mine."
When Chu Mu arrived, he was shocked. There were dozens of little Blood Demons in front of him. They formed a circle and surrounded the three students of the Sword Mansion.
Among the group of little Blood Demons, there were several shriveled and almost decayed corpses. They were the corpses of human swordsmen. Their bodies were covered with bloody fangs.
The three students stood back to back and leaned against each other to form a triangle. They were bathed in blood. The blood belonged to both the little Blood Demons and humans.
The three of them looked tired. Their eyes were filled with madness and fear.
There were too many little Blood Demons. Although most of them were One-Stripe Blood Demons and there were only a dozen Two-Stripe Blood Demons, their fearless fighting style made them tired.
The only weakness of a Blood Demon was its heart. Perhaps with their initial Qi Transformation Realm cultivation and superb swordsmanship, they could quickly pierce through the heart of a little Blood Demon and kill it in a one-on-one fight.
But surrounded by dozens of little Blood Demons, each of them had to face the attacks of at least three little Blood Demons at the same time. It was impossible for them to pierce through a little Blood Demon's heart.
Not piercing through the heart but only causing damage to other parts of the body would make the little Blood Demons even crazier. On the contrary, if they were scratched by the claws of the little Blood Demons, the wounds would be difficult to heal. Blood would continuously flow out, and their essence, Qi, and spirit would decline. In the end, they would either die from blood loss or from the sharp claws and fangs of the little Blood Demons.
Their blood would also stimulate the little Blood Demons, making them crazier and more bloodthirsty.
Chu Mu glanced over and discovered that although there were many little Blood Demons, they were only One-Stripe and Two-Stripe Blood Demons. This made him heave a sigh of relief.
'There are a total of 53 little Blood Demons, which means 53 Blood Demon Cores.' Chu Mu thought to himself. He turned into a gust of wind and attacked. The Clear Wind Sword pierced through the air, creating a green streak. The Connate Sword Qi condensed at the tip of the sword and pierced through the void like a cold star.
The sword directly pierced through the back of a little Blood Demon, where its heart was. The Sword Qi strangled it.
Chu Mu did not stop. He killed one with each step he took.
His appearance was too sudden and too fast. It was not until the fourth little Blood Demon died under his sword that he attracted the attention of the other little Blood Demons and the three Sword Mansion students.
"Someone is here to help." The three swordsmen were immediately delighted. But when they saw that there was only one person, the joy on their faces froze, and their hearts sank.
One person?
Even if Dacheng was in the Qi Transformation Realm, it would not be easy for him to kill so many little Blood Demons with his Sword Qi. If he was not careful, he might even be tortured to death by these little Blood Demons.
In the next second, a scene that made their hair stand on end and their bodies tremble appeared.
One sword strike, one kill. It was as if there was no one around.
They saw that person standing still. The little Blood Demons all let out sharp howls as if they were enraged. The little wings on their backs flapped crazily, and they flew toward Chu Mu.
Chu Mu's face was calm, but his eyes were sharp. Sword Light condensed, and his sword was like a dragon.
He did not need to look with his eyes or turn his head to know what was going on around him.
The little Blood Demons surrounded Chu Mu from all directions. They opened their sharp claws and bared their fangs as they flew toward him. They were extremely ferocious.
The three swordsmen only saw that under the encirclement of the little Blood Demons, there seemed to be wisps of dark Sword Light shooting into the void.
The darkness was a sign that the Sword Light had been condensed to a certain limit. Under such condensed Sword Light, the power of the sword would multiply and become extremely terrifying.
The three swordsmen looked at each other, and their hearts trembled. They all felt that this reinforcement, who they had yet to see his true face, was terrifying. To be able to possess such condensed Sword Light meant that his swordsmanship attainments must be extremely high. It was something that they could never hope to catch up to.
The three-meter forbidden zone reappeared!
Any little Blood Demon that flew within three meters of Chu Mu would be greeted by a cold green star that contained a wisp of Innate Sword Qi.
One-stripe little Blood Demons could not dodge the cold green star at all. Their hearts would be pierced in an instant, and the wisp of Innate Sword Qi would explode in their hearts and mince them into pieces.
Killing a one-stripe little Blood Demon in the three-meter forbidden zone was a piece of cake.
However, Chu Mu discovered that the three-meter forbidden zone was somewhat difficult for him to deal with a two-stripe little Blood Demon.
The two-stripe little Blood Demon was obviously superior to the one-stripe little Blood Demon in terms of strength, speed, and other aspects.
The cold green star could only barely hit the left side of the two-stripe little Blood Demon's chest and split it open. However, the wisp of Innate Sword Qi contained in it was consumed, and it could not mince the two-stripe little Blood Demon's heart at all.
As a result, he could not kill the two-stripe little Blood Demon with one strike.
'This has nothing to do with my swordsmanship attainments. It's purely because the power of the Innate Sword Qi is not strong enough. If my cultivation base can reach the initial level of the Qi Transformation Realm, the power of the Innate Sword Qi will be even stronger, and I'll be able to kill the two-stripe little Blood Demon with one strike.
'Or, if I've already cultivated the Nine Transformations of Heaven Origin, the Innate Sword Qi will definitely be purer and more condensed than it is now, and I'll be able to kill the two-stripe little Blood Demon with one strike.'
That was what he said, but there were no ifs. It was just a hypothesis.
Even if he could not kill the two-stripe little Blood Demon with one strike, he could still injure them by eliminating all distracting thoughts.
When the two-stripe little Blood Demon flew into a rage and pounced at him again, two cold green stars pierced through the air one after another.
With a puff, the first cold green star contained a wisp of Innate Sword Qi and opened a small wound on the left side of the two-stripe little Blood Demon's chest. The wound was blocked by the Innate Sword Qi and could not heal immediately.
The second cold green star immediately pierced through the small wound that was about to heal and went straight for the heart. The Innate Sword Qi exploded in the heart and destroyed it.
The two-stripe little Blood Demon let out a shrill scream and dashed around in midair.
After all, the two-stripe little Blood Demon was not directly pierced by a sword, so it could not kill it instantly. However, the destruction of its heart also quickly cut off its vitality. Amid its shrill screams and struggles, it fell to its death.
The little blood demon fell to the ground like a bird that had been shot. The three swordsmen who were saved were dumbfounded. The little blood demon's struggles and screams before its death made their scalps go numb, and they couldn't help but shiver. A wisp of fear surged up in their hearts … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
