(Thanks to the fan of Phoenix Legend for the tip. Third update.)
Of the fifty-three little Blood Demons, only three two-striped ones were still attacking Chu Mu.
On the ground, within a radius of three meters around Chu Mu, the bodies of the little Blood Demons were scattered all over the place. Their shriveled bodies piled up in a weird circle.
There were drops of blood on the ground within a radius of three meters. That alone was enough to make the pupils of the three swordsmen constrict violently. Their hair stood on end, and they were trembling all over.
Such swordsmanship was enough to scare away ghosts and gods.
Another two blue stars appeared and killed a two-striped Blood Demon. When the blood dripped down, the other two two-striped Blood Demons suddenly let out ear-piercing shrieks.
They turned around in midair and flew into the distance.
The two two-striped Blood Demons, who were not afraid of death, were scared and ran away …
Chu Mu could only watch the two two-striped Blood Demons run away. It was not that he did not want to kill them, but that he could not.
Right now, the three-meter forbidden zone was only a prototype. It would take three breaths to enter or leave the zone.
With the speed of the two-striped Blood Demons, and with all their strength, they would be able to fly more than a hundred or two meters away in three breaths. It would be impossible to catch up with them.
The three students of the Sword Mansion finally came to themselves. One of them hurriedly saluted Chu Mu. "Thank you for your help, senior brother." Their hair was disheveled, and their faces were stained with blood. Chu Mu could not see their faces clearly.
"It's nothing." Chu Mu said. Of course, he would not tell them that his purpose was not to save them, but to get the Blood Demon Cores of the little Blood Demons.
Although his main purpose of entering the Blood Demon Realm had changed, it was still a good thing that he could get more Blood Demon Cores.
Of the three, only one person didn't perform a sword salute to Chu Mu, but Chu Mu didn't mind.
The man shook his head, making his hair even messier and covering his face even more. However, his eyes stared at Chu Mu through the gaps in his hair.
Chu Mu walked to the shriveled corpses of the small blood demons on the ground. He cut open the skulls with his sword and picked out the blood demon cores one by one and put them into his space bracelet. He was already very familiar with such things and was very used to it.
"Space bracelet …" The swordsman, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sent a message to the other two. "He has a space bracelet."
The other two took a closer look and were shocked.
A spatial bracelet! That was a treasure that could only be exchanged for with one million credits. They didn't have it. They didn't expect that the person who saved them would have one.
"A space bracelet is worth a million credits. You've seen his swordsmanship. I believe there must be a lot of Blood Demon Cores in that space bracelet. Together with the fifty-one here, they're worth a lot of credits …"
"No, he just saved us. If it weren't for him, we would probably have died at the hands of those little Blood Demons."
"Humph. I'm afraid his purpose wasn't to save us, but to kill those little Blood Demons and obtain their Blood Demon Cores."
"That may be true, but it's an indisputable fact that the three of us were saved because of him. I can't do such an ungrateful thing to attack him."
The argument between the three of them was carried out using sword auras. They were some distance away from Chu Mu, so Chu Mu couldn't hear them.
"You can choose not to attack. As long as you don't make a sound, I can give you two hundred thousand credits from the loot after killing him. With these two hundred thousand credits, I believe you can exchange them for something very helpful to you."
The man immediately fell silent. The reason he took the risk to enter the Blood Demon Realm was to obtain Blood Demon Cores and exchange them for credits. Two hundred thousand credits! If converted into Blood Demon Cores, it would be equivalent to two thousand one-stripe Blood Demon Cores. It meant that he had to kill two thousand one-stripe Blood Demons, which was simply impossible for him.
Compared to the so-called life-saving grace, the two hundred thousand credits were more tempting.
"Remember what you said, Gu Xiping. After killing him and leaving the Blood Demon Realm, you must give me two hundred thousand credits," he finally said.
"Don't worry. You won't be left out." Gu Xiping coldly snorted and transmitted his voice.
Yes, he was Gu Xiping, a member of the Heavenly Kings Palace. He was the one who was dissatisfied and even jealous because Chu Mu refused to join the Heavenly Kings Palace.
From the moment he recognized Chu Mu, the jealousy in his heart burned like a raging fire. Coupled with the fact that Chu Mu had a space bracelet and so on, it gave him more than enough reason to kill him.
As for the life-saving grace, how much could it be worth?
They could all see that Chu Mu's cultivation was only at the Qi Transformation Stage. Even if he had terrifying swordsmanship, if they suddenly attacked him and caught him off guard, they would definitely be able to kill him.
Gu Xiping and the other person subconsciously walked towards Chu Mu quietly.
"Senior Brother, let us help you." The swordsman next to Gu Xiping said aloud. He pulled out his sword and stabbed at the head of a shriveled little Blood Demon on the ground.
Gu Xiping also pulled out his sword and suddenly stabbed at Chu Mu's back. In a flash, the sword aura and murderous intent filled the air. This sword was determined to kill.
The swordsman who stabbed at the little Blood Demon's head suddenly turned the tip of his sword and slashed at Chu Mu's neck. It was too sudden and extremely dangerous.
Gu Xiping's eyes were filled with murderous intent. There was a hint of joy and madness in them. This sword was unexpected and had a 100% chance of killing.
In the next second, the joy and madness in Gu Xiping's eyes froze and turned into astonishment.
This was because the sword had indeed pierced through Chu Mu's body, but there was no force behind it. In other words, the sword had missed. The Chu Mu in front of them had unknowingly turned into an afterimage and slowly dissipated under their swords.
"What are you waiting for?!" Gu Xiping's reaction was extremely fast. He sensed that something was wrong and immediately roared. He wanted the third person to attack as well. With the strength of the three Initial Qi Transformation Realm, they might be able to fight Chu Mu.
It had to be said that the terrifying swordsmanship that Chu Mu had displayed to kill the little Blood Demon had already thrown the three of them into disarray. Their fear of Chu Mu had risen to a level higher than that of Dacheng, who was in the Qi Transformation Realm.
The three of them attacked again. This time, they didn't need to hide. Innate Sword Qi surged and their killer moves were displayed.
In an instant, sand and stones were swept across the sky. Flames burned the ground and lightning flashed across the sky. The lightning was dazzling!
However, their killer moves all missed. What they destroyed was only Chu Mu's phantom.
The perfected Phantom Step made it difficult to distinguish between real and fake.
A dim Sword Light seemed to come from the void and broke through one of the swordsmen's Protective Sword Qi. The sharpness of the sword made his heart contract instantly.
It was as if he had killed the little Blood Demon. The sword pierced the right side of his chest and pierced his heart. Innate Sword Qi burst forth and crushed his heart.
The heart was also one of the weaknesses of humans!
"How did you avoid our attack?" Gu Xiping roared. He was extremely unwilling. This attack should have been foolproof.
Chu Mu didn't answer. The reason he knew about their attack was completely due to his sharp sense of killing intent. In that instant, when Gu Xiping and the others had the intention to kill, traces of killing intent leaked out. Chu Mu immediately sensed it.
He wasn't stupid. Even if he had saved these three people in passing, Chu Mu wouldn't let down his guard.
However, he didn't need to tell Gu Xiping. There was only one outcome if they wanted to kill him — they would be killed by him!
Human swordsmen were not like the little Blood Demon. Chu Mu used the perfected Phantom Step and took advantage of their confusion to kill one of them. This made the remaining two even more terrified.
Using the 44% Wind Concept to the limit and combining it with the perfect Phantom Step, it caused Chu Mu's body to become even more unpredictable as it alternated between true and false.
If Gu Xiping and the other swordsman could get rid of the fear in their hearts and calm down, they might be able to contend with Chu Mu. It would be extremely easy for Chu Mu to kill them in a one versus two situation.
However, they couldn't even use 50% of their strength right now. From the moment they decided to attack Chu Mu, their fates had already been decided.
After a few consecutive moves, Chu Mu's sword knocked away Gu Xiping's sword and slashed his neck. Blood spurted out like a fountain.
"You …" Gu Xiping pointed at Chu Mu but couldn't say anything. He covered his neck with one hand and fell weakly to the ground with eyes full of unwillingness. He was extremely unwilling. The ending shouldn't be like this. The one who should die should be Chu Mu, not him.
Even when he was about to die, Gu Xiping didn't feel any regret. If such a despicable person didn't die, he would only bring more unnecessary trouble to Chu Mu.
"Wait!" The third swordsman hurriedly shouted, "It was all Gu Xiping's idea. I even objected to it. You are our savior …"
"But you also attacked me." Chu Mu's words left the other party speechless.
"I can compensate you. You didn't lose anything. I'll give you all the blood demon cores I obtained," the other party hurriedly shouted.
"If I kill you, the blood demon cores will still be mine," Chu Mu said coldly.
"No, Gu Xiping is a member of the Heavenly King Palace. If you kill him, the Heavenly King Palace might investigate this matter. I can make up a reason," the other party said again.
"Leaving you alive is the worst thing to do." Chu Mu wasn't moved at all. Regardless of whether the Heavenly King Palace would investigate or not, leaving no one alive was the best thing to do. Otherwise, if he let this person go and reported to the Heavenly King Palace, Chu Mu wouldn't be able to fight against them.
Phantom Step, Wind Sweep, Wind Sweep, continuously changing and pushing it to the limit. It made the other party's vision a mess. They couldn't tell what was going on and could only attack randomly. Their sword Qi was quickly consumed.
Chu Mu quickly moved, avoiding the other party's attack. Just when the other party's attack stopped, he seized the opportunity and stabbed out.
With a puchi sound, the sword pierced through the throat.
Shaking off the blood on the tip of the sword, Chu Mu calmly looked at the person in front of him. He covered his throat with both hands. Blood kept flowing out through the gaps between his fingers. His eyes were fixed on Chu Mu, filled with unwillingness and anger. His body softened and fell down.
"Those who kill will be killed, not to mention those who bite the hand that feeds them. The sword of my generation should be happy to repay kindness and revenge." Chu Mu softly muttered to himself. He put the Breeze Sword back into its scabbard. His gaze slowly swept across the three corpses, and he began to organize the spoils. (To be continued.)
