The terrifying killing intent was like a surging tide, instantly creating a whistling sound as it rushed out in all directions, causing the air to tremble.
In an instant, with Ying Jianyi as the center, the air within a ten meter radius was pushed out by an indescribably dense killing intent. The killing intent was as viscous as water, creating ripples as it spread out.
This dense killing intent caused Chu Mu's heart to tremble. He frowned and became extremely vigilant.
"Seven Kill Sword Art, First Strike!" Ying Jianyi seemed to have changed into a different person. His eyes were filled with a faint silvery-white color, cold and emotionless, causing others to not dare to look at him directly. The killing intent around his body was as cold as purgatory.
Ying Jianyi waved his sword with his right hand, and the killing intent almost materialized on the blade. As he waved his sword, it seemed as if it was moving through water, creating layers of ripples that spread out.
Chu Mu only felt his eyes blur for a moment. The cold sword that contained the terrifying killing intent suddenly stabbed in front of him. The terrifying killing intent seemed to have materialized and invaded his body, causing Chu Mu's skin to feel waves of numbness.
This sword was enough to instantly kill an ordinary Qi Transformation Sword Artist.
However, Chu Mu was not an ordinary Sword Artist. In just a tenth of a breath, Chu Mu woke up and reacted quickly. The Heaven Origin Sword Qi circulated throughout his body like lightning, and the ripping concept was fully activated. Even the surface of his skin seemed to be covered in a faint layer of dark golden luster.
In an instant, Chu Mu seemed to have turned into a dark golden lightning bolt, tearing through the sky at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared under Ying Jianyi's First Strike of the Seven Kill Sword Art, causing Ying Jianyi's sword to miss.
The terrifying First Strike missed and directly pierced the air, creating an ear-piercing sound that was like rolling thunder, causing people to tremble.
With the naked eye, one could see a cone-shaped vacuum mark appear in the air under Ying Jianyi's sword, and then the air twisted like a storm. It was enough to show that this sword was extremely powerful. Chu Mu did not have the confidence to resist, so he could only dodge.
When Ying Jianyi executed the Seven Annihilation Swordsmanship, it was as if he had transformed into a completely different person. He was cold and emotionless, ignoring everything and exterminating all life.
The First Strike was executed once again. The terrifying killing intent was so condensed that it was almost tangible, once again locking onto Chu Mu. It caused the Heavenly Origin Sword Qi that Chu Mu was channeling to stop for a moment. Waves of numbness once again appeared all over his body. His nerve endings felt like they had been electrocuted, causing his reaction speed to drop.
The sword transformed into a cold star of slaughter that appeared in front of him. A terrifying killing intent gushed forth, and Chu Mu's black hair fluttered behind him.
Ying Jianyi's sword was even faster than the previous one, and Chu Mu had no way to dodge.
Wielding his sword, the Earth Essence Sword had a dense Heaven Essence Sword Qi condensing on it. The thirty-three percent Ripping Intent Domain was not held back at all. The dark golden light flowed on the sword like water. Chu Mu's eyes shrank, his pupils like needles, reflecting the tip of Ying Jianyi's sword.
The tip of the sword collided with the tip of the sword in an instant. The Stone Quake was fully activated. Chu Mu's muscles were vibrating at a high frequency, and his blood and Qi were surging.
The one hundred percent Stone Quake Sword against the First Strike of the Seven Kills Sword Art!
An ear-piercing buzzing sound rang out, like a swarm of bees dancing in the air. The collision of the two swords caused the surrounding air to freeze in an instant. The entire secret room lost its color, as if it had turned from colorful to black and white.
In the next moment, an indescribably terrifying explosive sound blasted out, spreading out in all directions. It turned into a sound wave that rushed towards Chu Mu and Ying Jianyi.
Chu Mu and Ying Jianyi's expressions changed slightly. Their black hair fluttered in the wind, and their robes were almost torn apart. Both of them felt a terrifying power surging out from their opponent's sword.
Rapidly retreating, Ying Jianyi used his own method to disperse the terrifying power from Chu Mu's sword. At the same time, Chu Mu was also resisting the terrifying power from Ying Jianyi's sword.
This power was very unique. It was a combination of killing intent that had almost materialized, sword Qi, and the concept of metal. Moreover, under the influence of the First Strike of the Seven Kills Sword Art, it had undergone a completely new transformation.
Ying Jianyi's metal concept had reached the level of sixty-five percent. In terms of power, it was not inferior to Chu Mu's ripping concept. In fact, it was even above it. Moreover, the Seven Kills Sword Art was the main sword art after the inheritance of the Seven Kills Sword Principle. It was an extremely terrifying ancient sword art.
Chu Mu rapidly retreated. His expression changed slightly, and a dark golden light flowed in his eyes. He could only feel a strange power drilling into his meridians through his sword, attempting to destroy them.
This power had the sharpness of metal, as well as a gentleness. The combination of the two made it impossible to guard against.
As everyone knew, the power of metal was a kind of extreme Yang power. It was incomparably sharp. But right now, the power of metal that Chu Mu had come into contact with was different from what everyone knew. Not only was it not extreme Yang power, but it had a gentleness to it.
The gentleness of the power of metal was hard to guard against. It was constantly drilling into Chu Mu's meridians, and with its sharpness, it wanted to cause damage to Chu Mu's meridians.
The ripping concept was activated, surging violently, resisting the gentleness of the power of metal. Chu Mu's body shook, and the blood in his body surged. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chu Mu knew that if he spat out this mouthful of blood, his aura would be greatly weakened, and it would be very disadvantageous for him in battle. He forcefully swallowed this mouthful of blood, and only felt a slight tightness in his chest. He knew that because of the power of the First Strike of the Seven Kills Sword Art, he had already suffered some internal injuries.
"Could it be a kind of mutated concept?" Chu Mu stared at Ying Jianyi, who was surrounded by killing intent, and thought to himself.
Ying Jianyi's body paused, and the killing intent rushed into the air behind him, causing an explosion. The powerful impact pushed his body towards Chu Mu like a rocket. He performed the First Strike of the Seven Kills Sword Art again, and a dense killing intent condensed and chopped towards Chu Mu.
Before the sword arrived, the terrifying aura had already locked onto Chu Mu, and once again, it made Chu Mu's skin feel numb. The sword moved, and his body flashed. He performed the Phantom Steps, and eleven phantoms appeared, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.
"The power of the Seven Kills Sword Art is too strong. Unless my strength can increase again, it will be difficult to resist."
He thought to himself while dodging.
"If I can increase the ripping concept to thirty-five percent, or if my sword Qi cultivation can break through to the peak of Qi Transformation, it will be enough to increase my overall strength significantly."
The Tianyuan Sword Qi flowed through his meridians. Chu Mu's sword Qi cultivation had already reached the peak of Qi Transformation Dacheng long ago. The reason why he had not broken through to the peak of Qi Transformation was because his comprehension was not deep enough.
After that, Chu Mu continued to deepen his comprehension through cultivation and battle. Now, he had barely reached the level where he could make a breakthrough. However, he still needed at least a month to make a real breakthrough. Chu Mu did not have the time to wait. He had to forcefully make a breakthrough now, even if it would cause some unfavorable consequences.
The Tianyuan Sword Qi flowed through his meridians like water, and every time it flowed, it would absorb all the pure Spiritual Qi in the surroundings.
There was too little Spiritual Qi in the Heaven Wasteland Palace. Chu Mu had to take out a mid-grade Spirit Stone and hold it in his hand. While using the Phantom Steps to make it difficult for Ying Jianyi to distinguish between the real and the fake, he could not launch an accurate and effective attack. At the same time, he used the Tianyuan Sword Qi Technique to absorb the pure Spiritual Qi from the mid-grade Spirit Stone in his hand.
Ying Jianyi's cold and emotionless eyes quickly swept around like lightning. As he waved the sword in his hand, a unique Sword Qi shot out, piercing through the sky and destroying Chu Mu's phantoms one by one.
The pure Spiritual Qi absorbed from the mid-grade Spirit Stone was constantly accumulating in the body, waiting for the critical moment to break through.
Eleven phantoms were destroyed and then reappeared. The entire secret room was filled with phantoms.
Ying Jianyi's terrifying Seven Carnage Sword Beams shot out in all directions. Some of them directly struck the seals around the statue, breaking them apart. Layer after layer of ripples spread out as they unknowingly weakened the seals around the statue.
"Break for me!"
When the pure Spiritual Qi accumulated in his body to a certain extent, Chu Mu shouted in his heart, like a sudden clap of thunder.
All the pure Spiritual Qi was integrated into the Tianyuan Sword Qi in an instant. In an instant, the total volume of the Tianyuan Sword Qi increased sharply, breaking through the limit of the Qi-Transforming Dacheng.
Chu Mu knew that this breakthrough was only temporary. He had to maintain this state to truly break through to the Exceptional Qi-Transforming Realm.
The unprecedentedly powerful Tianyuan Sword Qi was moving through his meridians along the route of the Seventh Turn of the Nine Turns of Tianyuan. Chu Mu immediately felt a tearing pain coming from his meridians.
It was hard to imagine that if Chu Mu's body had not been strengthened by the pure Desolate Qi time and time again, such a forced breakthrough would have caused irreparable damage to his meridians.
The pain in his meridians did not affect Chu Mu. It was as if he could not feel it.
At this time, if he could not break through and improve his overall strength, he would definitely not be Ying Jianyi's match. His swordsmanship attainment in the Initial Grand Master Realm was not so effective at this time. His opponent's Seven Kills Swordplay was too powerful.
There was a saying in the swordsman's world on the Ancient Sword Continent: The Way of the Sword is supreme!
The meaning was obvious. Swordsmen who had inherited the Way of the Sword were often more powerful than those who had not. Moreover, they were more powerful than those who had inherited the Way of the Sword.
Even if their Sword Qi cultivation was similar, there was a very obvious gap in strength between those who had inherited the Way of the Sword. Especially as time passed, the gap would become more and more obvious. It would become a legend that one could only look up at the opponent's back and see the distance between them constantly widening.
Ying Jianyi was very shocked that Chu Mu could fight against Ying Jianyi when his Sword Qi cultivation and comprehension were not as good as his opponent's. However, Ying Jianyi was in a special state at this time and did not pay attention to it.
If other swordsmen knew about this, they would all look at Chu Mu in a new light.
However, for Chu Mu, this was not enough. It was far from enough. What he wanted was not just to fight against Ying Jianyi, but to fight against a powerful swordsman like Ying Jianyi and not be at a disadvantage. He even wanted to be able to defeat Ying Jianyi.
"With the surge of Tianyuan Sword Qi, I have temporarily broken through to the Perfection of Qi Transformation. However, to make a real breakthrough, I need to stabilize my cultivation. For this, breaking through to the Eighth Turn of Tianyuan is the most effective way." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
