Getting up, Chu Mu's eyes shone with a sharp light. It pierced through the air and was extremely cold. He took a step forward and walked out of the cave.
"It's time to settle the score." A soft voice resounded in the cave and disappeared along with the flow of the air.
The Sky Wasteland Sword Heart had been completely refined. The beating of the heart was even more powerful than before. The thumping sound made Chu Mu feel that it could even kill a cow.
Because the heart had become even more powerful after the Sky Wasteland Transformation, the blood it spat out was even more powerful. It rushed through the whole body, causing the power in his body to explode like a volcano. Every movement of his had more power, and his blood was extremely vigorous.
If someone with exceptional eyesight saw the current Chu Mu, they would feel that Chu Mu's dragon-like steps were like a blazing sun rising into the sky. His body naturally emitted a faintly discernible tyrannical aura that was extremely shocking.
After twelve days of training, not only had the heart successfully undergone the Sky Wasteland Transformation, but there were also obvious improvements in other areas.
His sword aura had reached the peak of the Small Success level, and was only one step away from the Dacheng level. He only needed an opportunity or a period of time to understand it, and then his sword aura would be able to break through to the Dacheng level and become even more powerful.
Because his body had become more powerful and he had used it many times in the underground palace, the Stone Shaking Power had also broken through from the Beginner level to the Small Success level, and its power had doubled.
The Lacerating Mentality had deepened from 33% to 34%. This kind of mentality was already very difficult to understand, and the possibility of improving in a short period of time was very small. Chu Mu being able to improve by even one point was already not bad.
As for the Mentality of Clouds, it was not very powerful, and there was no suitable sword art to use it. Therefore, Chu Mu had almost forgotten about it.
"With my current strength, even if I meet a Qi Hai warrior like the one-eyed dragon again, I only need to use the Wind Aura to kill him, and I won't suffer any obvious injuries." Chu Mu muttered to himself. He removed the seal of the cave and strode out towards Yan Kaiming.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that Chu Mu met Yan Kaiming on the way.
In a flash, before Yan Kaiming could react, Chu Mu had already appeared beside him. He unsheathed his Rapid Air Sword and placed it on Yan Kaiming's neck.
Yan Kaiming's face was filled with shock, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Previously, although Chu Mu was more powerful than him, it was very limited. Now, Chu Mu was so fast that he did not even have time to react. If he wanted to kill him, that sword would be able to cut off his neck.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his face turned pale. Yan Kaiming didn't dare to move at all. He could only look at Chu Mu with frightened eyes and plead.
"Chu Mu, what are you doing? Hurry up and put away your sword." The Sword Guard beside Yan Kaiming was also shocked. He quickly shouted and grabbed the hilt of his sword.
At the same time, the other Sword Guards were alerted and quickly surrounded Chu Mu. They all pulled out their swords and pointed them at Chu Mu. Their expressions were cold. It seemed that as long as Yan Kaiming gave the order, they would attack and kill all of Chu Mu.
Did Yan Kaiming dare?
No, he was like a piece of meat on a chopping board. If Chu Mu moved his hand slightly, he would lose his life.
"Don't do anything … Don't do anything …" Yan Kaiming angrily shouted at the Sword Guards. He was afraid that they would be impulsive and kill him. Then, he looked at Chu Mu and said in a low voice: "Chu Mu … Let's talk nicely … Let's talk nicely …"
"Let's talk nicely. Who ordered you to kill me?" Chu Mu stared at Yan Kaiming and asked in an indifferent tone.
"It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding … It's all a misunderstanding. How could I kill you …" Yan Kaiming said anxiously.
"Since that's the case, it's also a misunderstanding if I kill you now." A cold smile flashed across Chu Mu's face. His hand moved slightly and the blade of the Rapid Sky Sword cut open the skin on Yan Kaiming's neck. A stream of blood flowed out.
The pain made the corner of Yan Kaiming's eyes tremble. He panicked even more. Chu Mu's tone was full of killing intent. He understood that Chu Mu really wanted to kill him.
"Wait …" For his life, Yan Kaiming didn't care about anything else: "I'll talk … I'll talk … But I have a condition. You have to promise me that you won't kill me. Otherwise, I won't talk even if I die."
"Okay." Chu Mu thought for a moment and agreed to Yan Kaiming's words.
"It's Zhu Tianzhao. Zhu Tianzhao promised me a top-grade sword to kill you." Yan Kaiming immediately said. At this time, he couldn't care about anything else. His life was more important. Everything else was secondary.
Where there's life, there's hope!
When the Sword Guards heard Yan Kaiming's words, they also understood the cause and effect of the matter. For a moment, they all revealed hesitant expressions.
It was Yan Kaiming who wanted to kill Chu Mu for his own benefits. In the end, he didn't manage to kill Chu Mu. Instead, Chu Mu came to seek revenge. What about them? Should they stand on Yan Kaiming's side?
"Zhu Tianzhao … So it's you." Chu Mu's eyes flashed with killing intent. Yan Kaiming only felt the sword on his neck quickly move away.
He hurriedly used his movement skill to distance himself from Chu Mu and flashed into the crowd. With a fierce glint in his eyes, he waved his hand and shouted, "Go, capture him. If he resists, kill him without mercy."
Yan Kaiming felt that although Chu Mu was stronger than him, if he joined forces with the other Sword Guards around him, they would definitely be able to kill Chu Mu. Even if some of the Sword Guards had to die, he wouldn't hesitate.
Unfortunately, after the Sword Guards heard the truth, they were already hesitant. After hearing Yan Kaiming's order, they didn't immediately move. Chu Mu moved first.
His figure flashed, and the Sword Light of the Void Sword flashed across the sky like lightning. The moment of brilliance was mesmerizing.
Yan Kaiming had just pulled out his sword, but before he could use his sword move, he felt a cold blade sweep across his neck. His eyes widened and his pupils dilated, filled with disbelief and questioning. It was as if he was questioning Chu Mu. Didn't Chu Mu agree to his condition of not killing him?
Perhaps, after Yan Kaiming was released by Chu Mu, he would have behaved himself. If Chu Mu really didn't kill him, he would have planned to cripple him. At least, he would have kept his life.
Unfortunately, Yan Kaiming didn't know what was good for him and even tried to kill Chu Mu. He really had a pig's brain. He naively thought that he could kill Chu Mu by relying on his numbers. In the end, he died under Chu Mu's sword.
The Sword Guards looked at each other and didn't dare to move. Only after Chu Mu left did they come to their senses. Seeing Yan Kaiming's corpse lying in a pool of blood, their expressions changed. Some hurriedly turned and left, while others stayed where they were.
Not long after, a figure flew through the air and landed beside Yan Kaiming's corpse. It was Vice Commander Wu Ya.
"What happened?" Vice Commander Wu Ya's eyes flashed with electricity. The aura around his body surged violently, as terrifying as heavy waves. The air around him seemed to have solidified. The Sword Guards around him only felt an extremely tyrannical pressure pressing down on their bodies. Their legs went soft and they almost knelt down.
Vice Commander Wu Ya happened to be returning from his patrol outside and met the Sword Guards who were panicking. After learning that Yan Kaiming had been killed, he immediately rushed over. He didn't know what had happened.
No one answered. It wasn't that they didn't want to answer, but that Wu Ya's aura was too strong, causing them to be unable to move.
Wu Ya also realized this and consciously controlled his aura. The Sword Guards only felt their bodies lighten, as if a heavy burden had been removed from them. They all breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Ya asked again. Only then did a Sword Guard fearfully tell him the whole story. There wasn't any falsehood. In front of such a serious matter, they didn't dare to lie. Otherwise, if they were found out, they would be severely punished, or even lose their lives.
Wu Ya didn't say a word. His brows were tightly knitted together.
Earlier, after resolving the conflict between Chu Mu and Yan Kaiming, he thought that Chu Mu had given up. He didn't expect that he hadn't. Moreover, Yan Kaiming admitted in front of everyone that he really wanted to kill Chu Mu. Moreover, he didn't give up even after Chu Mu let him go.
Wu Ya understood that if he was in Chu Mu's position, he would definitely kill Yan Kaiming.
For a moment, Wu Ya felt a headache coming. Reason was on Chu Mu's side. Yan Kaiming was purely stupid to the point of seeking his own death. No matter what, he couldn't punish Chu Mu.
Most importantly, Chu Mu was a disciple on the Bronze Sword Ranking. His future was limitless. He couldn't be killed or offended.
"Dispose of his body." After a while, Wu Ya's brows relaxed. He waved his hand and gave the order. He turned and walked towards Chu Mu's cave dwelling. No matter what, he had to find Chu Mu and have a talk.
Wu Ya's arrival wasn't out of Chu Mu's expectations. When he decided to make a move on Yan Kaiming, he had already considered this point.
Even if Wu Ya wanted to make a move on him, Chu Mu wouldn't let himself be trampled on. The current him might not be Wu Ya's match, but he had the ability to fight back. If he wanted to escape, Wu Ya might not be able to keep him here.
"Yan Kaiming's death was his own fault." After seeing Chu Mu, Wu Ya's first words were out of Chu Mu's expectations. His expression was slightly startled.
Chu Mu didn't reply. He waited for Wu Ya's next words.
"I'm not here to condemn you. The fight on the Bronze Sword Ranking has nothing to do with me. I only hope that when you're still in the mining area, you won't cause any more trouble." Wu Ya didn't threaten or beg. He only said this in a calm tone.
"Okay." Chu Mu agreed without any hesitation.
Wu Ya nodded. He looked deeply at Chu Mu. There was too much surprise in his eyes. He realized that the current Chu Mu was completely different from the Chu Mu from a few months ago. There was a clear change in his temperament. It even made him feel a trace of fear.
He turned and left. Only his back was left for Chu Mu to see.
After Wu Ya walked out of the cave dwelling, Chu Mu activated the seal again. He sat cross-legged on the bed again and began to cultivate the Heavenly Desolate Sword Body.
The Heavenly Desolate Qi contained within the Ancient Heavenly Desolate Elixir was extremely vast. Ever since he took the first elixir to successfully transform his heart into Heavenly Desolate, there was still half of the Ancient Heavenly Desolate Elixir left. Chu Mu estimated that this half of the Heavenly Desolate Qi could once again transform into one of the five viscera and six bowels.
After killing Yan Kaiming, the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhu Tianzhao, could only wait until he returned to the Sword Mansion to deal with him. (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.)
