"One-eyed Dragon … Tiger in the Mountain … Snake in the Cave … Wolf in the Forest … Crane in the Cloud … Vicious Five of the Desolate Border …" Chu Mu quickly rushed back to the mining area as he recalled all the information he knew about the Vicious Five.
This information was obtained from a few swordsmen who were weaker than him on his way back. He directly captured them and interrogated them.
The Vicious Five of the Desolate Border lived in the Desolate Border region. They came of age ten years ago, and their methods were cruel and ruthless. They were merciless and merciless. They had committed many sect extermination cases, as well as many unreasonable massacres. They had become the most fearsome villains in the Desolate Border region.
In the Desolate Border City, there were people who put out a bounty. As long as one killed the Desolate Border Five, they would be able to obtain their family heirlooms and other treasures. In the end, before the Desolate Border Five were killed, they were exterminated by the Desolate Border Five.
The Vicious Five of the Desolate Border region were all extremely powerful and united. Their residences were extremely secretive as well. Apart from themselves, almost no one else knew about it.
In short, the Vicious Five of the Desolate Border region were terrifying existences that made children not dare to cry at night.
This time, no matter what the reason was, the fourth of the Vicious Five, Wolf in the Forest, wanted to kill Chu Mu. It seemed like it was for Chu Mu's Spirit Devouring Orb, but in the end, he was killed by Chu Mu instead.
This news would definitely spread quickly and eventually fall into the ears of the other Vicious Five of the Desolate Border region. They would then seek revenge on Chu Mu. At that time, he would definitely not be able to avoid a bloody battle with these villains.
Before the bloody battle, Chu Mu had to take care of one thing first.
Yan Kaiming!
The moment Wolf in the Forest was killed by Chu Mu, he shouted "Yan Kaiming, you tricked me!". With the personality of a villain, shouting something like this was most likely to drag Yan Kaiming down with him.
Combining everything that had happened in the past and the piece of paper that Lin Zhonglang had seen, Chu Mu was ninety percent sure that Yan Kaiming was behind all of this. Yan Kaiming was the one who wanted his life.
Furthermore, he and Yan Kaiming did not know each other and had no enmity with each other. Why would he want to kill him?
There must be some other reason behind this. Perhaps someone wanted him dead and couldn't do it themselves. Coincidentally, he was here, so they asked Yan Kaiming to do it.
But who was it?
Chu Mu couldn't think of anything.
Since he couldn't think of it, there was no need to think about it. It was a waste of brain cells. He just needed to attack Yan Kaiming and force him to say it. If he didn't say it, he would just kill him.
The news of the appearance and death of the wolves in the Five Ferocious Forests of the Desolate Border quickly spread from the mouths of the onlooking swordsmen. The speed at which the news spread was beyond imagination. It was even faster than Chu Mu's traveling speed.
"What? The Wolf in the Forest was killed by Chu Mu? Chu Mu isn't injured? " Inside the cave, Yan Kaiming suddenly stood up. His pupils were trembling and the corners of his eyes were twitching. His face was filled with intense shock. He couldn't accept this news for a moment.
After a long while, Yan Kaiming sat down again. His fingers lightly clasped the back of the chair. A rhythmic sound spread out. His brows were tightly knitted, as if they were locked and couldn't be unlocked.
He was very clear about the strength of the Wolf in the Five Ferocious Forests of the Desolate Border because he had fought with him before. Although both sides had held back in that battle, Yan Kaiming also knew that even if he used all his trump cards, he might be able to kill the Wolf in the Forest. However, the price would be serious injuries or even death.
Since Chu Mu could kill the Wolf in the Forest without being injured, didn't that mean that Chu Mu's true strength was even higher and stronger than his, Yan Kaiming's?
But his sword Qi cultivation was only at the peak of the Qi Transforming Dacheng. Once he broke through to the Qi Transforming Consummation, wouldn't he be even more terrifying?
Thinking of this, Yan Kaiming felt his scalp tingle. He couldn't help but shudder. He felt some regret in his heart.
Wasn't it too unwise to offend such a person with such a terrifying talent for the sake of benefits?
"I don't care anymore. Since I've already made my move, then Chu Mu must die. Otherwise, when he comes back to his senses and suspects me, then it will be very troublesome." Yan Kaiming's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness. His face was ferocious as the corners of his mouth curled up: "Moreover, now that he has killed the Wolf in the Forest, the other four of the Five Ferocious Forests of the Desolate Border will definitely not let him go. Especially the boss, One-eyed Dragon, who was already at the peak of the Qi Transforming Consummation five years ago. I haven't heard from him for a long time now. I wonder if he has broken through to the Qi Hai realm."
Just as Yan Kaiming was thinking to himself, a Sword Guard ran in.
"Commander Yan, Chu Mu wants to see you." The Sword Guard said directly.
"Oh, let him in." Yan Kaiming waved his hand. His expression returned to normal, but his mind was spinning. What was Chu Mu's goal? Did he discover something?
At this moment, Chu Mu strode in. The Sword Guard retreated and left. Only Chu Mu and Yan Kaiming were left in the cave.
"Brother Chu, Brother Chu, sorry to trouble you. How is the situation in the Sky Wasteland Valley? Did anything strange happen? " Yan Kaiming immediately stood up and walked down. He had a bright and gentle smile on his face as he asked with concern.
"Nothing strange happened." Chu Mu replied calmly as he stared at Yan Kaiming. Yan Kaiming's expression was normal, as if he didn't feel guilty at all: "But, I encountered something strange."
Yan Kaiming's heart skipped a beat, but the cunning old fox didn't show any abnormal expression. Instead, he showed a look of concern and curiosity: "Oh, what strange thing did you encounter?"
"There was a fierce man nicknamed Wolf in the Woods. I don't know where he got a portrait of me." Chu Mu took out a piece of paper from his space bracelet. It was a portrait.
Yan Kaiming's pupils shrank because he remembered that Chu Mu had a space bracelet. This thing was very precious, and he didn't have it. In the whole spirit stone mining area, only the commander and the two deputy commanders had it.
"Yan Kaiming, you asked me to patrol the Sky Wasteland Valley, and I was found by Wolf in the Woods. I believe that I have no enmity with you. Why do you want me to die?" Chu Mu said directly, saving him the trouble of beating around the bush.
Yan Kaiming was startled. He didn't expect that Chu Mu would ask him so directly. He couldn't use all the answers he had prepared. But Yan Kaiming's reaction was very fast. An innocent look flashed across his face: "Brother Chu, this is a coincidence, absolutely a coincidence. Just as you said, I have no enmity with you. I have no reason to harm you."
"Benefits can move people's hearts, but you need to be alive to take them." Chu Mu sighed. His voice was very soft. Before, he was 90% sure, but now, seeing Yan Kaiming's reaction, Chu Mu was 120% sure.
Yan Kaiming didn't reveal any flaws because he was very cunning. But Chu Mu's Sword Observation Technique was not to be trifled with. Plus, his powerful soul force was far stronger than ordinary people. Chu Mu could feel the change in Yan Kaiming's heartbeat in an instant.
If he didn't have a guilty conscience, when he heard Chu Mu's words, he would only be surprised and even angry. But the change in Yan Kaiming's heartbeat was obviously caused by his guilty conscience.
"What?" Yan Kaiming didn't hear Chu Mu's words clearly because he was a little distracted. He was thinking about how to deal with Chu Mu.
"Wolf in the Woods said that he wants you to go down and accompany him." Chu Mu said in a low voice. His voice was like a breeze blowing into Yan Kaiming's ears. At the same time, he unsheathed his Wind Beheading Sword and slashed towards Yan Kaiming unexpectedly.
Yan Kaiming was very experienced in fighting. Years of fighting had made his intuition better than others. The moment Chu Mu unsheathed his sword, his heart couldn't help but jump, and he felt his hair stand on end.
Retreating in the blink of an eye, Chu Mu's sword shot out a Heaven Origin Sword Qi that contained the power of ripping mentality. It instantly tore through the air and attacked Yan Kaiming.
The speed was too fast, and Yan Kaiming couldn't dodge it. He didn't even have time to unsheathe his sword. He could only wave his hands continuously, shooting out Xiantian Sword Qi that contained the power of fire mentality.
The Sword Qi kept colliding with each other and exploding. Countless sounds were heard.
After destroying Chu Mu's Sword Qi, Yan Kaiming immediately pulled out his own sword. It was a fire element upper rank sword.
The temperature in the cave instantly rose. The sword in Yan Kaiming's hand was burning with flames, and the air was boiling.
"Since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish." Yan Kaiming shouted. At this time, he couldn't care about anything else. Chu Mu wanted to kill him, so he had to fight back. Otherwise, he would be killed by Chu Mu.
As for what punishment he would receive after killing Chu Mu, it didn't matter anymore. Saving his own life was more important.
With a slash of his sword, a huge flame burned fiercely, and slashed towards Chu Mu.
"Fire mentality, fifty-three percent …" Chu Mu instantly judged Yan Kaiming's level of fire mentality.
Although Yan Kaiming's Sword Qi cultivation was obviously better than his, but in terms of the purity of Sword Qi, Chu Mu was not below Yan Kaiming.
Using the Phantom Steps, layers of phantoms alternated, dodging Yan Kaiming's sword and appearing beside him. The Windcutter Sword was raised from bottom to top, as if it was going to cut the waterfall.
Yan Kaiming's face slightly changed. He turned around and slashed towards Chu Mu's waist.
Both sides attacked dozens of times in an instant. Every attack was aimed at the other's vital points, trying to kill him in one blow.
"This guy's swordsmanship is powerful." Yan Kaiming's eyes darkened as he pulled away from Chu Mu. He continuously slashed out dozens of sword Qi that contained the power of fire mentality as he thought to himself.
In a battle between swordsmen, they usually wouldn't directly use powerful sword moves.
Unless they were extremely confident that they could kill the other party in one move, making it impossible for the other party to dodge or resist.
Otherwise, when a powerful sword move was used, there would often be an unavoidable flaw.
Because they didn't know the other party's background, although a powerful sword move was very powerful, it also consumed a lot of energy. If they rashly used it without understanding the other party, the situation would often be disadvantageous if the other party dodged it.
Once the other party grasped that flaw, the following battle would become more passive.
Therefore, a battle between swordsmen would start with a clash of swordsmanship. If they could kill the other party with their swordsmanship, it would naturally be better. Otherwise, it would be a process of figuring out the other party's background and fighting style, as well as looking for a fatal flaw. (To be continued.
