The dark golden sword radiance of the Sky-splitting Sword Strike was like a lightning bolt that pierced through the air with unparalleled power.
Everything happened so quickly that even the elders felt that the dark-golden sword light that flashed before their eyes was extremely fast. The students of the Great Qian Sword Mansion subconsciously drew their swords to block it, and an ear-piercing sound of metal clashing exploded.
In the next moment, a terrifying force erupted along with an unparalleled sharpness. It pierced through his upper-grade sword weapon and pierced towards his chest. Instantly, there was a sharp pain in his chest as though he was being pierced by a sword tip. He felt as though he was being torn apart and his blood was churning violently, almost gushing out of his blood vessels.
He took a few steps back uncontrollably before his feet left the ground and he flew backward. When he landed, he was already below the arena.
The student of the Great Qian Sword Mansion forcefully suppressed the churning blood in his body and felt a piercing pain in his chest. When he lowered his head and saw that there was no wound, he couldn't help but feel horrified.
The Power of Conception. That was the effect of the Power of Conception. What kind of conception was it that it could penetrate his upper-grade sword weapon and affect his body?
"One stroke," Chu Mu said softly. His voice was soft but it sounded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.
One stroke!
With just one stroke, Chu Mu defeated the student who was ranked 37th on the Great Qian Sword Mansion's Bronze Sword Ranking. It was so effortless that everything felt like a dream.
The elders and students of the Great Qian Sword Mansion were all stunned as they looked at Chu Mu in disbelief. His figure was deeply imprinted in their hearts.
The Great Kun Sword Mansion's students were all in a daze, as if they were lifeless pieces of wood. Their eyes were wide open as they stared blankly at Chu Mu on the stage. For a moment, they were in disbelief, as if everything before them was just a dream.
Great Elder Duanmu Xingkong and the rest were first stunned before they revealed smiles. Chu Mu really didn't disappoint them. He was a hundred percent sure and a single stroke was a hundred percent sure.
"Good, good, good." One of the elders felt the resentment in his chest dissipate, and he felt extremely carefree. Three 'good's resounded in the surroundings, as if thunder had exploded.
"Chu Mu is indeed a good person." Another elder loudly yelled and couldn't stop laughing.
Only then did the Great Kun Sword Mansion's students come to their senses. All of them were beaming with joy and felt elated. Much of the depression in their hearts had dissipated. Looking at Chu Mu, they suddenly recalled their previous thoughts and could not help but feel ashamed.
"It's too early for you to be happy." A furious roar came from the Great Kun Sword Mansion's camp. A figure flashed and charged towards the battle arena like fire. Even though he was far away, Chu Mu could feel a wave of heat surging towards him, as though a volcano had erupted. "You merely caught Junior Brother Wang off guard. Do you really think you are extraordinary? Let me, the thirty-sixth ranked on the Great Kun Sword Mansion's Bronze Sword Ranking, fight you and see what you are made of."
His voice was blazing like fire, and fiery-red Innate Sword Qi surged out from his body. His entire body was like a flaming meteor as he charged towards Chu Mu. He unsheathed his fiery-red Superior Sword and slashed out.
In an instant, the fire-attributed Innate Sword Qi surged between his body and his sword, causing him to become one with the sword. His power increased tremendously, and his sword was like a falling meteor that could destroy heaven and earth.
"Be careful." Many of the Great Kun Sword Mansion's students widened their eyes in shock as they instinctively shouted out a warning.
The corner of Chu Mu's mouth lifted slightly, and a sneer flashed across his face. He swung his Rapid Sky Sword, and a dark golden luster flowed. It turned into a dark golden sword light that was as thick as a finger and shot out again.
Sky-splitting Sword Strike!
The speed of the dark golden sword light was extremely fast. In an instant, it struck the blazing fireball.
With a popping sound, like a bubble bursting, the blazing fireball paused for a moment before collapsing rapidly. The figure in the fireball also paused in mid-air before flying out at an even faster speed. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood that splattered across the sky.
After landing on the ground, he staggered back over ten steps before sitting down. He couldn't control the inertia of his retreat, causing his body to roll back twice before coming to a stop. He laid on the ground with his arms and legs spread out. His face was pale, and there was blood flowing down from the corner of his mouth. He looked extremely miserable.
"This …" Regardless of whether it was the Great Kun Sword Mansion or the Great Qian Sword Mansion, everyone was dumbfounded. Their mouths were so wide open that a fist could be stuffed in.
If it was said that the 37th student on the Great Qian Sword Mansion's Bronze Sword Ranking was defeated by Chu Mu in a single strike because he had underestimated Chu Mu, and if Chu Mu's speed of attack was a fluke, then the fact that the 36th student on the Great Qian Sword Mansion's Bronze Sword Ranking was defeated by Chu Mu in a single strike was enough to show that Chu Mu's strength was extraordinary.
"Junior Brother Li, how are you?" The Great Qian Sword Mansion's students hurriedly helped up the student who spat out blood after being struck by Chu Mu and asked with concern. Immediately after, they looked at Chu Mu furiously, but didn't rush up to the arena impulsively.
Indeed, the ranking of the Great Qian Sword Mansion's Bronze Sword Ranking was a true portrayal of one's strength. For example, the 36th student was indeed more powerful than the 37th student, but there was a limit to it. It would usually take a few hundred moves to determine the victor.
Therefore, even if he went up to the arena, he most likely wouldn't be a match for Chu Mu. It was very likely that he would be defeated in a single strike.
"Alright, alright. Let me, Liu Zongshan, take you on." In the Great Qian Sword Mansion, Liu Zongshan's expression kept changing. In the end, he laughed out loud and leaped up like a willow swaying in the wind, landing directly on the arena.
Liu Zongshan didn't directly attack. Instead, he landed in front of Chu Mu, facing him from a dozen meters away. His entire body's aura was condensed into one, and his sword aura surged. Around him, a cyclone was created that swept outwards with extraordinary might.
There was a piercingly cold gale and a strong wind blowing. Wuwu sounds filled the entire Sword Fighting Stage, causing Chu Mu's black hair and robes to flutter. However, his eyes stared unblinkingly at Liu Zongshan, not affected in the slightest.
On the way here, he had already found out that Liu Zongshan was the most outstanding one among the ten students from the Great Qian Sword Mansion. It was said that his Wind Willow Swordsmanship was very magical. Not only was it powerful, but it also had other profoundness.
Liu Zongshan was delighted to see this, but he was also very fearful of Chu Mu.
He saw that Chu Mu defeated his opponents in a single strike twice. If the first time was due to luck, then the second time was a display of his true strength.
In the Great Kun Sword Mansion's camp, the students held their breaths. Liu Zongshan had defeated many people and caused the Great Kun Sword Mansion to lose face. He was a strong opponent. Now that he was facing off against Chu Mu, they wondered if Chu Mu would be able to defeat him.
If Chu Mu couldn't defeat him, then no one in the Great Kun Sword Mansion would be a match for him. Even if Fang Tianxing, who was ranked first, and Huangfu Mang, who was ranked second, came, it would be useless. The Great Kun Sword Mansion would still be humiliated.
They could only rely on Chu Mu for everything.
Liu Zongshan smiled gently and a green radiance flowed in his eyes. The cyclones around him suddenly exploded with a shocking aura. As he waved his sword, a strong wind whistled and spiraled, filling the entire arena.
He used the Wind Willow Swordsmanship right away.
The Wind Willow Swordsmanship had three major sword moves. The power was different and the timing of their application was different. When they were used together, it would be even more effective.
Raging Wind Willow, Willow Shadow Thousand Wind, Whirlwind Willow Shadow!
The three major sword moves were executed one by one by Liu Zongshan. In an instant, the entire arena was swept up by gusts of strong wind. Countless willow shadows covered the entire arena, making it impenetrable.
"Junior Brother Liu is actually executing all three major sword moves. Even I have to be wary of this power." The Great Kun Sword Mansion's Senior Brother Yao's expression changed slightly.
"The Great Kun Sword Mansion's students are indeed qualified for Senior Brother Liu to execute the Wind Willow Swordsmanship at full strength."
Looking at the Great Kun Sword Mansion's side, the Elders' expressions were solemn while the students' expressions changed drastically. They were extremely worried. As far as the eye could see, there were only willow shadows. They were so densely packed that they covered the sky and the earth.
The willow shadows were everywhere and attacked Chu Mu from every angle. They didn't let go of any blind spots.
Chu Mu was completely surrounded. It was as if he was swallowed by countless willow shadows. No one could see his figure.
The Elders couldn't help but reveal a look of worry. The Great Kun Sword Mansion's students also looked gloomy. On the other hand, the people from the Great Kun Sword Mansion revealed a look of joy. Even Liu Zongshan's face revealed a trace of complacency. They all thought that Chu Mu would definitely lose.
At this moment, a dark golden sword gleam flickered among the countless willow shadows. It released an astonishing brilliance. As soon as it appeared, it immediately made everyone feel an irresistible and terrifying sharpness. It was as if nothing in the world could stop it.
When the dark golden sword gleam appeared, the countless willow shadows rapidly melted and disappeared like snow under the scorching sun. The complacent look in Liu Zongshan's eyes froze. A dark golden cold gleam was reflected in his eyes as it tore through the layers of willow shadows and charged straight at Jian Wushuang.
Fast, too fast!
Liu Zongshan's expression froze. He couldn't dodge and instinctively blocked with his sword in front of his chest. At that moment, he only felt the dark golden sword gleam shoot over and accurately hit the sword.
An ear-piercing sound of metal clashing rang out. The terrifying sharpness directly penetrated the sword and shot towards Liu Zongshan's chest. Liu Zongshan immediately felt as if his chest was pierced and torn by a sword. The pain was unbearable.
With a groan, he couldn't help but retreat continuously under the bombardment of the dark golden sword gleam. He retreated to the edge of the arena and almost fell off before barely stabilizing himself.
The sky full of willow shadows on the Sword Fighting Stage had completely disappeared. The blowing gale also quickly calmed down. Only Chu Mu's sword was pointing diagonally at the ground. His expression was indifferent as he looked straight at Liu Zongshan. He slowly opened his mouth and calmly said: "You aren't my opponent either."
As he spoke, Chu Mu glanced past Liu Zongshan and looked at the other nine students from the Great Kun Sword Mansion. He said loudly and domineeringly, "Which one of you can block my sword?"
As soon as he spoke, the wind and clouds surged. It was earth-shattering and caused everyone's expression to change.
Was he arrogant or arrogant?
At that moment, Chu Mu was like a god that had descended to the mortal world. That moment was imprinted in the depths of one's heart and was irreplaceable. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
