(Thanks to "Burning Skeleton" for the tip. Fourth update.)
The counting was complete.
In addition to the 51 Blood Demons killed by Chu Mu, there were 23 Blood Demons killed by Gu Xiping and the others. Among them, 54 were one-striped Blood Demons, 20 were two-striped Blood Demons, and the three swordsmen killed by Gu Xiping, as well as the Blood Demon Cores in the bags of the dead swordsmen whose blood had been sucked dry by the Blood Demons.
This time, Chu Mu obtained a total of 275 one-striped Blood Demon Cores and 45 two-striped Blood Demon Cores. A one-striped Blood Demon Core was worth 100 credits, and a two-striped Blood Demon Core was worth 200 credits.
This time, Chu Mu would obtain 36,500 credits. If the Blood Demon Cores obtained by Chu Mu were included, the total credits would exceed 50,000 credits.
"Nine Cycles of Heavenly Origin … Once I leave the Blood Demon Realm, you'll be mine," Chu Mu said to himself.
In addition to the Blood Demon Cores, Chu Mu also found some elixirs on these people. There were 23 Qi Renewal Pills, 18 Scarlet Blood Pills, and 16 Gold Recovery Pills.
The Qi Renewal Pill was used to replenish Innate Sword Qi, the Scarlet Blood Pill was used to replenish blood, and the Gold Recovery Pill was used to heal injuries. It was very effective on external injuries and had a soothing effect on internal injuries.
Comparatively speaking, elixirs that could heal internal injuries and increase cultivation were rarer and more valuable.
What made Chu Mu sigh inwardly was that apart from the Blood Demon Cores and elixirs, he didn't find any sword techniques.
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt relieved. After all, killing Blood Demons didn't require those things. Moreover, even if someone brought them in and he found them, so what?
Although the manuals exchanged from the Sword Mansion's Scripture Tower were all handwritten copies, the Sword Mansion had a clear record of who had exchanged for what manuals and so on.
According to the Sword Mansion's rules, apart from the person who exchanged for the manuals, no one else was allowed to practice them. Otherwise, once the Sword Mansion found out the truth, they would be punished according to the rules.
A light punishment would be expulsion from the Sword Mansion, and a heavy punishment would be death on the spot!
Therefore, although some people had thought of cheating, when they thought of the consequences of their mistakes, they felt that the gains did not make up for the losses.
Even if he was only expelled from the Sword Mansion, it would still be a huge stain on his life.
After putting all the blood demon cores and pills into the space bracelet, the space inside was almost full.
"How good would it be if my spatial bracelet was a middle-grade spatial bracelet?" Chu Mu thought to himself.
After entering the Inner Mansion, there were related books in the independent Sword Tower that could be read at any time, including the classification of the Space Bracelet.
The Black Iron Space Wristband was a Low Rank Space Wristband, the Bronze Space Wristband was a Middle Rank Space Wristband, the Silver Space Wristband was a High Rank Space Wristband, and the Gold Space Wristband was a Supreme Rank Space Wristband.
Different colors, different grades, and different internal spaces.
The internal space of a low-grade space wristband was only one cubic meter, the internal space of a middle-grade space wristband was ten cubic meters, and so on. The internal space of an upper-grade space wristband was one hundred cubic meters, and the internal space of an extreme-grade space wristband was one thousand cubic meters.
The spatial bracelet was too precious. Just the low-grade bracelet would cost a million credits, and the mid-grade bracelet would cost an unknown amount. Chu Mu did not even dare to think about the high-grade bracelet.
Now, he felt that if he could obtain a middle-grade space wristband with an internal space of ten cubic meters, he would be very satisfied.
Seven corpses, seven low-grade swords. Chu Mu chose a metal-elemental sword called the Gold Point Sword and carried it on his back. As for the other six low-grade swords, they were inconvenient to carry, so Chu Mu did not care about them.
With the Gold Point Sword, the Dual Sword Art could be put to good use.
…
The Dual Sword Art danced, and the Sword Light filled the air. In the three-meter forbidden zone, only death awaited!
With the Dual Sword Art, the Two-Striped Blood Demon was also beheaded in an instant, dying an unnatural death.
After using the Dual Sword Art, Chu Mu's strength increased by another thirty percent.
He picked up the Blood Demon Nucleus and stored it in the Space Bracelet, and inserted the Gold Point Sword into the scabbard on his back.
The Dual Sword Art could actually be regarded as one of Chu Mu's less important trump cards. If the enemy was not very strong, he could deal with it with a single sword. If the enemy was strong, he would use both swords.
…
The blood-red Sword Light was swung. With a squelch, the sword pierced the neck of a Two-Striped Blood Demon.
A strange scene appeared. The Two-Striped Blood Demon's body rapidly shriveled, and its blood flowed continuously through the blood-red longsword to the sword wielder.
After a while, the Two-Striped Blood Demon was left with only its skin. It did not even have a Blood Demon Nucleus. It was flung away by the sword.
The sword wielder put away the blood-red longsword and looked into the distance. There seemed to be a blood-red vortex in his strange eyes, which were incomparably deep.
"Another swordsman has entered the Blood Demon Realm. Their blood is not inferior to the Blood Demons at all." He muttered to himself. A hair-raising voice came out of his thin lips and dissipated with a gust of wind.
In a flash, the sword wielder turned into a blood-red stream of light and quickly flew into the distance.
Walking on the vast, dark-red land, Chu Mu searched for Blood Demons to kill while looking for the so-called Blood Evil Stones and Blood Essences.
Compared to the Blood Demon Nucleus, Blood Evil Stones and Blood Essences were much more valuable. They could be exchanged for many times more credits.
There was no day or night in the Blood Demon Realm. There was no alternation between the sun and the moon. Chu Mu did not know how many days he had been here. He could only feel that a long time had passed.
In front of him, there were three corpses on the ground. They were human swordsman. Their bodies had long shriveled up because they had lost all their blood.
Human swordsman hunted Blood Demons, and Blood Demons hunted human swordsman. There was nothing unusual about this. Moreover, after Blood Demons sucked the blood of human swordsman dry, they would often take away the swords and bags of the swordsman. These were their spoils of war.
When Chu Mu passed by the three shriveled corpses, he inadvertently glanced at them and was startled. This was because he found the three corpses somewhat familiar. Weren't they He Zhen, Zhang Cun, and the others who had mocked him earlier? He turned his gaze and saw the three swords and three open bags. This was very unusual. His pupils constricted as he slowly scanned the corpses. His gaze landed on the wound on one of the corpses, and then slowly slid to the other two corpses.
Squatting down, Chu Mu carefully examined the corpses. He found that there was only one wound on each of the three corpses. It was on their necks.
"This wound is different from the claws and fangs of the Blood Demons. Instead, it seems to have been left by a sword." Chu Mu thought to himself, "If it was really a wound left by a sword, then the blade of the sword should be narrower than the blade of a regular sword. The thickness of the sword should also be thinner."
Chu Mu stood up and looked around. He was even more perplexed.
There were traces of sword aura in the surroundings. Clearly, a battle had taken place. However, other than the three corpses, there were no corpses of the young Blood Demons. There was not even a trace of them.
However, there was nothing in the three open bags.
"Could it be that the three of them had an internal conflict? That's not right. The wounds on their necks were not caused by any sword. Could it be that a fourth person killed the three of them and took away all the Blood Demon Cores in their bags? "
"No. In addition to the wounds on their necks, their blood was also sucked dry. If it was a swordsman … if it was a Blood Demon …" For a moment, Chu Mu was so confused that he could not find a clue.
"Could it be … that they encountered … a mutated Blood Demon …" Chu Mu speculated in the end.
Unable to find a conclusion, Chu Mu temporarily suppressed his confusion and moved on.
…
"Human, I'm going to suck your blood dry."
Strange cries rang out. Several Blood Demons flew at him from different angles.
Chu Mu's expression was cold. His Sword Light was like a dragon. Several Sword Lights took away a few lives and picked out a few Blood Demon Cores.
Suddenly, Chu Mu felt his scalp go numb. A fatal sense of danger swept over his body. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a bloody Sword Light. It was extremely swift and fierce and would hit him in the blink of an eye.
With a flick of his sword, the last Blood Demon Core flew toward the bloody Sword Light with a whistling sound. Chu Mu quickly turned around and thrust his sword forward. The Sword Light condensed.
With a bang, the Blood Demon Core was shattered by the bloody Sword Light. Not only was the bloody Sword Light unhindered, it locked onto Chu Mu's body with incomparable sharpness, intending to stab Chu Mu to death with one strike.
The cyan Sword Light and the bloody Sword Light collided, producing an ear-piercing sound of metal and countless sparks.
The bloody Sword Light flickered and split into a dozen bloody sword shadows, enveloping Chu Mu from all directions.
Chu Mu swung his Sword Light at an oblique angle. Wherever the dim Sword Light passed, the bloody sword shadows were shattered, revealing the original bloody sword light. When the two collided, an ear-piercing sound rang out again.
His opponent didn't say a word and kept attacking. His swordsmanship surprised Chu Mu.
Fast, ruthless, fierce, and indomitable!
This was a ferocious man. Each of his sword strikes contained an extremely frightening killing intent. Those with a weak will would be so frightened that they couldn't move, let alone fight back.
However, Chu Mu's soul was strong and his sword momentum had reached a small success. This killing intent, which was like killing thousands of soldiers and horses, couldn't shake his mind. It only surprised him.
In comparison, Chu Mu's swordsmanship seemed ordinary, but he could always make his opponent's sword strike miss. His swordsmanship seemed to contain everything. This was the level of a Grandmaster.
The blood-colored sword light was incomparably sharp. Every slash seemed to be able to pierce through the void. Every slash could easily kill a one mark small Blood Demon. However, every slash was easily blocked by Chu Mu and counterattacked.
"Kill!" A thunderous shout rang out. Chu Mu only felt the baleful aura increase by several times, almost surpassing his limit. His entire body instantly froze.
An extremely condensed blood-red sword-light with earth-shattering power had already arrived, and blood-red Sword Qi was entwined around it.
Chu Mu raised his eyelids. His pupils were astonishingly sharp. The muscles on his arms trembled. Innate sword aura poured in layer by layer. The Clear Wind Sword condensed into a cyan star and pierced through the air.
The terrifying collision was like a steel plate shattering. The ear-piercing sound made Chu Mu frown. It was as if his eardrums had been pierced.
A huge force rushed over. Chu Mu quickly retreated to dissipate the force. His opponent also retreated quickly, increasing the distance between them.
"Blood Demon?" Chu Mu finally saw his opponent clearly. He was stunned. "No, it doesn't look like a Blood Demon, but it doesn't look like a human either. Could it be a mutated Blood Demon? A mutated Blood Demon knows how to use a sword and has a high level of swordsmanship? "
Chu Mu's gaze fell on the blood-colored longsword the opponent was pointing at. His pupils shrunk, and he naturally thought of the wounds on the necks of the human swordsman corpses he had seen before. They seemed to match the tip of the blood-colored longsword in front of him.
