There were 297 low-grade Sky Desolate Pills, 118 mid-grade Sky Desolate Pills, and 20 high-grade Sky Desolate Pills. These were all the Sky Desolate Pills that Chu Mu had obtained from the Heavenly Pill Pavilion. In addition, there was also a bronze Heavenly Pill Sword Token that represented his status as a VIP of the Heavenly Pill Pavilion.
After rejecting Master Hong's invitation to stay, Chu Mu bid farewell and left the Earth Desolate Building. He walked towards the gates of the Desolate City as fast as he could, but he did not immediately leave the city.
Chu Mu's movements were very fast, and the people who were monitoring him were not bad either. The moment Chu Mu left the Earth Desolate Building for the city gates, they reported the news.
In the end, Chu Mu did not leave the city. Instead, he walked around the gates of the Desolate City before walking towards another small street. He walked into a shop, walked around, and walked out again.
Chu Mu knew that there were spies monitoring him. Once he left the city, Chang Zizai would immediately chase after him. So, what he was doing now was to disrupt the spies' vision as much as possible.
Inside the city, he could not use his movement skills. Otherwise, he would attract the attention of the Iron Blood Swordsmen. That was not a good idea. Chu Mu could only try his best to go to places with more people.
The more people there were, the livelier it would be. And the livelier it was, the harder it would be to monitor him.
Chu Mu was very patient. A swordsman must have patience. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to achieve anything.
Walking around, Chu Mu spent four to six hours strolling around the Desolate City. He also walked towards the gates of the Desolate City many times. After pausing for a while, he did not leave the city. Instead, he turned and walked towards other shops.
Every time Chu Mu walked to the gates of the Desolate City, the spies would report the news. Every time, Chang Zizai would rush over in excitement. In the end, before he arrived, he would receive news that Chu Mu did not leave the city.
After many times, Chang Zizai became furious. He ordered his spies to only report when they saw Chu Mu actually walk out of the Desolate City.
The spies were also very clear about Chu Mu's intentions. He must have sensed their surveillance, and the purpose of doing this was to interfere with their surveillance and judgment. They had no choice but to work even harder, afraid that something would go wrong.
However, people would always be careless. Chu Mu once again came to the desolate city gate. This time, just as the scouts thought that Chu Mu was going to intentionally disturb them, Chu Mu suddenly charged towards the city gate and left.
The spies were stunned at first. At this moment, Chu Mu had already walked out of the city gates and sped away. Only then did the spies come to their senses and hurriedly report.
Chang Zizai had been waiting for this opportunity. As soon as he received the news from the spies, he immediately left a teahouse not far from the city gate and went to the city gate at the fastest speed.
At this moment, Chang Zizai wished that he could grow a pair of wings on his back and rush out of the Desolate City at lightning speed. However, he had no choice. Although he had mastered a secret flying technique, he was not allowed to fly in the Desolate City. Otherwise, he would be targeted by the Iron Blood Swordsmen.
When Chang Zizai could not wait to rush out of the Desolate City, he looked around and did not see Chu Mu's figure. His face became extremely gloomy.
"Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will find you," Chang Zizai muttered to himself. Chang Zizai muttered to himself. His voice was cold and contained a shocking murderous intent. This Qi-transforming Swordsman, who dared to reject him twice in public, had long been on his must-kill list.
Sword Qi surged around him like a surging tide. Light blue waves moved behind him and finally condensed into a pair of light blue Sword Qi wings. The wings flapped, and Chang Zizai soared into the sky. He turned in midair and shot forward like an arrow.
He did not believe that this damned Qi Transforming Swordsman could escape from under his nose.
In the blink of an eye, Chang Zizai had rushed hundreds of meters away, but he still did not see Chu Mu's figure.
The moment Chu Mu walked out of the Desolate City, he used the Sky Traversing Secret Art. He did not care about his Sword Qi consumption and quickly left. Although his overall strength had increased a lot, Chu Mu still did not want to fight with Chang Zizai who was only at the Low Qi Hai Realm.
However, Chang Zizai was still a Sword Warrior at the Low Qi Hai Realm. He was also from the Chang family and had a lot of resources. This made him stronger than other Sword Warriors at the Low Qi Hai Realm.
Not long after, Chang Zizai saw Chu Mu who was also flying in midair. He was happy and the Sword Qi wings on his back suddenly flapped even faster. With a swoosh sound, his speed increased by 50%.
Feeling the strong killing intent coming from behind him, Chu Mu knew that the interference he had done before had only bought him some time. In the end, Chang Zizai still caught up with him. His speed increased again, but his Sword Qi was also being consumed faster. Luckily, he had the Soul Devouring Orb that was constantly absorbing the Spirit Qi around him. He also had a Mid Rank Soul Stone in his hand that was constantly extracting Spirit Qi to replenish his Sword Qi.
His original plan was to use the Sky Traversing Secret Art to quickly leave the Desolate City so that Chang Zizai would not be able to catch up with him. This was the ideal ending, but it was not like that. Chang Zizai's speed was much faster than he had expected.
"Then let me try out the power of the second stage of the Sky Traversing Secret Art." Chu Mu thought to himself. He activated the Sky Origin Sword Qi in his body and started to circulate it at a high speed in a special way. Suddenly, the Sword Qi wings on Chu Mu's back started to change strangely. They seemed to have become thinner and sharper like a sword.
In an instant, the changed Sword Qi wings started to vibrate at a high speed. They vibrated over a hundred times in a single breath, causing the surrounding air to shatter and producing a faint and ear-piercing buzzing sound.
With a sharp whistle, Chu Mu's speed suddenly increased by several times. He streaked across the sky like a bolt of lightning and disappeared from Chang Zizai's sight in a flash. Only after that did a powerful explosion sound like thunder.
Chang Zizai seemed to have seen the air in front of him explode as if it was solid.
His eyes were wide open and his mouth was slightly agape. His face was filled with surprise. He even stopped in the air and watched the changing air flow in front of him. He watched as his target turned into a black dot in front of him.
"What secret art is that?"
"Hmph, no matter what secret art you use, it won't last long." Chang Zizai quickly recovered and snorted coldly. He knew very well that the more profound and powerful the secret art was, the more energy it would consume. With his Sword Qi cultivation that had not even reached the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm, it was impossible for him to last long. In terms of endurance, he was much weaker than Chang Zizai.
Thinking of this, Chang Zizai's Sword Qi surged again. He did not care about the energy consumption. His speed increased a lot in an instant as he rushed forward to catch up.
Countless streams of air flowed backwards. Each stream of air was comparable to the sharpness of a low rank sword. It was extremely terrifying and they all charged towards Chu Mu, slicing past his protective sword aura.
Even though Chu Mu's protective sword aura was very powerful, in front of so many streams of air that were comparable to the sharpness of a low rank sword, it was unable to withstand the attacks and was immediately broken open. In the next breath, the formless protective sword aura was also broken open, and the low rank inner armor was activated, barely holding on.
Chu Mu truly experienced what it meant to be as fast as lightning. The speed that he used to think was very fast was nothing compared to what he was doing now.
Unfortunately, it could only last for ten breaths. Otherwise, if he continued, not only would his Sword Qi be used up, his inner armor would also be broken, and his body would be severely injured.
Three thousand meters in ten breaths!
The second level of the Sky Traversing Secret Art: Soaring into the Sky!
The Sky Traversing Secret Art was a very profound secret art. The first level was the foundation, where the Sword Qi wings appeared on the back. This level was the same as the other flying secret arts, and there was not much difference in speed.
The second layer was the first application of the secret technique. It used a special sword qi transportation method to change the shape of the sword qi wings, causing the speed to increase by several times in an instant. Although the duration was very short, it was unique whether it was used in escaping or chasing.
Soaring into the Sky!
As for the third level of the secret art, it was even more mysterious. However, Chu Mu had only reached the second level so far. It would take him a long time to reach the third level, which was even more difficult.
The Barren City was quite far from the mining area. One month ago, Chu Mu used his movement art to rush from the mining area to the Barren City. It took him eight hours to reach the Barren City. Right now, using the Sky Traversing Secret Art was even faster, but it would still take him at least four hours.
Obviously, his Sword Qi cultivation was not enough for him to use the Sky Traversing Secret Art for four hours in a row. Not to mention, using Soaring into the Sky had consumed one-third of his Tian Yuan Sword Qi.
After consuming the Qi Returning Pill, with the help of the Spirit Eating Bead and the Mid Rank Spirit Stone, his recovery speed could not keep up with his consumption speed.
Not long after, Chang Zizai saw Chu Mu's figure again.
Chang Zizai's Sword Qi was at least ten times more than Chu Mu's, and its purity was also above Chu Mu's Tian Yuan Sword Qi. Although the flying secret art he cultivated was more ordinary and did not have the application of Soaring into the Sky, it was better in terms of endurance.
Chang Zizai's Qi came again and quickly approached, making Chu Mu feel very helpless.
"There's still a long way to go to the desolate mining area. Before I reach the mining area, I'm afraid Chang Zizai will catch up to me," Chu Mu thought to himself as he flapped his Sword Qi wings.
"Junior, I advise you to surrender and obediently give up all your treasures, and I will leave you with an intact corpse. Otherwise …" Chang Zizai said as he sped up to catch up. His voice ignored the obstruction of the air under the effect of the Sword Qi and shot towards Chu Mu, falling into Chu Mu's ears. The last sentence became extremely cold and creepy. "I will make you wish you were dead."
Chang Zizai's threat was not taken seriously by Chu Mu. He was still thinking of countermeasures.
"Junior, you don't have much Sword Qi left, do you? Even if you have a way to recover Sword Qi, you can't compare to me." Chang Zizai kept talking to disturb Chu Mu's mind.
"Junior, unless a miracle happens, once I catch up to you, I will capture you and torture you. I will let you know the consequences of offending me twice." Chang Zizai did not care whether Chu Mu heard his words or not. He said them one after another. This was a psychological tactic to disturb his mind.
