"Lackey of the royal family, die in the storm, gaga …" The swordsman who fired the sword aura at Chu Mu was wearing a black robe. The edge of the robe had a bronze border. It was the uniform of Moro Sword Sect's inner disciple.
When he saw Chu Mu get sucked into the black storm, he immediately let out an incomparably joyful laugh. That laughter even entered Chu Mu's ears who had just been sucked into the black storm.
Chu Mu imprinted this person's appearance in his mind and added him to his kill list.
But before that, he had to first stay alive in the black storm. Otherwise, everything would be empty talk.
He had personally witnessed several swordsmen being sucked into the black storm. Some were sucked in for as short as three breaths, while some were sucked in for as long as ten breaths before they were torn to shreds by the black storm. They turned into a bloody mist and completely disappeared into the black storm.
Therefore, Chu Mu was extremely wary of the black storm.
Naturally, knowing that he could not escape from the black storm, Chu Mu did not waste his sword Qi on struggling. Instead, he condensed his Tianyuan sword Qi to protect himself, forming an even stronger defense.
At this time, another dozen people were sucked into the black storm.
They tried their best to resist, but no matter how pure their sword Qi was, they could not withstand the twisting of the black storm. In a few breaths, their protective sword Qi was torn apart.
"Treasure armor, open!" Someone shouted in a low voice. Under the shredded robe, an armor with fine and delicate patterns was suddenly revealed. The armor clung to the body like a layer of skin, and under the stimulation of the Sword Qi, it emitted a dense light.
The light seemed like smoke that would dissipate easily, but it was actually extremely tough. No matter how the black storm attacked, it remained unshakable.
However, if one were to observe carefully, they would discover that as the black storm continued to attack, the layer of dense light was still dissipating bit by bit. Then, it would be replenished bit by bit. Clearly, it was replenished by the sword energy.
After persevering for a while, the man quickly took out some sword qi recovery pills from his space bracelet and threw them into his mouth. Then, he took out a spirit stone and held it in his hand to absorb it.
Chu Mu's Heavenly Origin Sword Qi had been torn apart by the black storm. Perhaps he would die in the next breath.
At that critical moment, the third layer of the Sword Qi Protective Secret Technique that he had been practicing for more than half a year suddenly trembled and turned into a backflow that surged through his entire body.
The third layer of the Sword Qi Protection Secret Technique was completed!
The moment it was completed, the impact of the formless Sword Qi actually caused the destructive storm to be shaken away in an instant, forming a temporary vacuum zone.
According to the records of the third layer of the Sword Qi Protection Secret Technique, after mastering the third layer, the defensive strength of that layer of invisible Sword Qi was equivalent to the defensive strength of a low-grade armor, which meant that it could withstand the sharpness of a low-grade sword.
The vacuum soon disappeared, and the black storm attacked again.
"I can't go on like this. Even if the formless Sword Qi can block it for a while, it can't block it for long. With my current strength, it's simply not enough to break through this black storm." Chu Mu's expression was calm and his mind was clear. His thoughts were unprecedentedly clear as he quickly calculated.
He glanced at the center of the black storm. According to his knowledge, the center of the tornado, which was the eye of the storm, was the calmest place.
"What is he doing?"
"Is he courting death?"
"He doesn't want to come out. He actually wants to go in."
All the swordsmen who saw Chu Mu's actions were dumbfounded. Then, they sneered, thinking that Chu Mu was courting death. The reason why they had this free time was that although the black storm was terrifying, there were only a few dozen of them, and each one would automatically dissipate after killing a swordsman. So now, all the remaining black storms had a swordsman in them. No other black storms would kill them.
The Ancient Sword Continent had a long history, but some common knowledge was different from that of Earth.
Knowledge spread very quickly on Earth, and it could be easily found on the Internet. Therefore, a lot of knowledge was not a secret.
However, on the Ancient Sword Continent, some knowledge was treated as a secret, and only a very small number of people knew about it. Moreover, things like storms were very powerful, and it was best not to get involved. Once one was involved, one had to think of a way to break out of the storm as soon as possible, and not go to the center of the storm.
According to the thoughts of ordinary people who did not understand, the storm's periphery was so powerful, so the storm in the center must be even more powerful.
It was precisely this thought that made most people on the Ancient Sword Continent think that the center of the storm was the most dangerous place. However, a small number of people who knew the truth would not announce it.
After all, there were only a few swordsmen who knew how to use storm attacks. There were also many types of storms in the natural world. Sometimes, this was related to whether one could obtain more and better resources before others. Only a fool would be willing to announce it.
Therefore, when they saw Chu Mu go to the center of the storm, they all sneered.
Screams rang out as another person could not hold on and died in the storm.
The swordsmen who activated their armor were constantly resisting the black storm to protect themselves.
Not long after, a black storm swept a swordsman towards the palace and slammed into it. The palace did not move at all, and the black storm suddenly dissipated. The swordsman immediately seized the opportunity and rushed out, landing at the edge of the palace.
"What? He actually used such a method to enter the palace?" Some swordsmen thumped their chests and stomped their feet when they saw this. They did not expect someone else to be the first to arrive.
"Haha, I didn't expect to profit from a disaster." The swordsman laughed out loud and hurriedly ran along the edge of the palace toward the entrance. He wanted to enter the palace first before the others.
"Let's go."
"We can't let him get ahead of us."
One by one, they ignored the swordsmen who were swept into the black storm and quickly ran toward the palace.
"A mere storm wants to trap the successor of my Seven Kills Sword Path." Within the black storm, a terrifying killing intent erupted from the swordsman's body. The killing intent condensed like a sword and actually caused the black storm to pause for a moment.
After that, this swordsman shouted coldly as he condensed all his Slaughter Intent into a single sword strike, and then he slashed it forward. This sword strike contained extremely dense Slaughter Intent, all his Innate Sword Qi, and all his Metal Concept. It directly tore open a small gap in the black storm, and then he transformed into a ray of light that swiftly shot out.
"It's Ying Jianyi from the Black Eagle Sword Mansion. Rumor has it that he obtained the inheritance of the Seven Kills Sword Path. Looks like it's true." Ying Jianyi's voice was not soft, and many people heard it, causing a series of exclamations.
"It's actually the inheritance of the Sword Path. He'll probably be the biggest beneficiary of the underground palace this time."
"Hmph, so what if it's the Seven Kills Sword Path? My senior brother Wu Kongyan from the True Flame Sword Sect also obtained a Sword Path inheritance."
"Don't think that you're amazing just because someone from your True Flame Sword Sect obtained a Sword Path inheritance. Someone from my Black Water Sword Sect obtained one as well."
With a rip, Chu Mu's protective sword Qi was ripped apart by the storm. The terrifying power of the storm surged over, directly tearing apart Chu Mu's body. Finally, he made it into the eye of the storm.
His azure robes had been ripped apart, and there was a bone-deep cut on his arm. Blood flowed out.
If he had not reacted in time, he probably would not have been injured like this.
He hurriedly took out a blood-forming pill and consumed it. After the pill's power spread, the wound began to stop bleeding and heal bit by bit.
"I'm safe for now, but how do I get out of this storm?" Chu Mu thought. Through the darkness of the storm, he could vaguely make out that many people had already charged into the palace, rushing through the open door.
"I can't break through the storm with my strength, unless I'm like the others and let the storm charge into the palace on its own."
The black storm that swept Chu Mu away was the last of the several dozen. It was currently drifting towards the palace.
Chu Mu decided to carefully feel the power of the black storm around him.
The power of this black storm was very terrifying, and it was filled with a destructive aura. At that moment, when his protective sword Qi was sliced open and his arm was injured, Chu Mu could clearly feel the terrifying tearing power contained within.
"Comprehending this black storm might be helpful for my Ripping Mentality." Thinking to himself, Chu Mu divided a large part of his attention to comprehend, and a small part of it to pay attention to the movements around him.
For someone like him who could divide his attention into two, this was a piece of cake.
The tearing power contained within the black storm was indeed very terrifying. Chu Mu did not dare to touch it too much. He could only feel it bit by bit, analyze it bit by bit, and then verify it with his Ripping Mentality.
In the past, Chu Mu had comprehended the Ripping Mentality through the Wind Mentality and Gold Mentality. However, this time, he directly started from the tearing power, which was much more direct than before.
In this way, not only did Chu Mu skip the introductory step, but it also allowed him to enter the main topic more directly, allowing him to comprehend it faster than before.
The black storm quickly rolled towards the palace. At this moment, all the swordsmen had already entered the palace.
The huge palace had a total of four doors, and they were all open. As long as one could land on the palace, they could enter through the open doors.
"Ripping, ripping … So that's how it is … It's actually like this …"
Various comprehensions appeared in Chu Mu's mind. The dark golden sword light in his spiritual world was constantly fluctuating, and it seemed to show signs of increasing in size.
Not long after, the dark golden sword glow really did increase by a sliver. This meant that Chu Mu's ripping concept had deepened again. From the original 32%, it had increased to 33%.
Don't underestimate this 10% increase. His overall strength would also increase by quite a bit.
At this moment, the black storm hit the palace and shattered it. Chu Mu took the opportunity to land on the edge of the palace. Unfortunately, if he stayed in the black storm for a longer time, he might be able to continue comprehending it, and perhaps increase his Ripping Mentality to 34% or even 35%.
Without stopping, Chu Mu quickly headed towards the palace door. With a flash, he directly entered the palace door. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
