Chu Mu's first impression after entering the Demon Shaking City was that it was in chaos.
There weren't many shops on both sides of the street. Most of them occupied a large area. They looked neat and orderly. However, Chu Mu didn't know why he felt that it was in a mess.
This was also a desolate city. However, Chu Mu felt that it was really neat and orderly.
For a moment, Chu Mu had a strange feeling that he didn't know north, south, east, or west.
He composed himself and looked to the left and right. He wanted to look for someone who sold books similar to the "Chronicle of the Desolate Border" in the desolate city. He wanted to have a deeper understanding of the Demon Shaking City. Unfortunately, he didn't find anyone.
He had done some research on the Demon Chaos Plain and the Demon Shaking City before he had set off. However, it wasn't detailed. It was just a general idea.
A group of more than ten swordsmen wearing red robes was walking toward him. The swordsmen on the street dodged one after another wherever they passed. It seemed as if they were ordinary people who had seen a flood or a ferocious beast.
Chu Mu's eyelids trembled. He followed the others and quickly dodged to the side of the street.
These more than ten swordsmen in red robes were at the level of Qi Transformation Small Success Stage. Their sword Qi cultivation was at the level of Dacheng's. Their eyebrows were vertical, and their appearance was fierce and fiendish. Chu Mu recalled the red-robed swordsmen he had killed to save the old man and the young man of the Ou Clan a month ago. Their attire was very similar.
"Sure enough, it's really troublesome." Chu Mu said inwardly. Looking at the situation before his eyes, these red-robed swordsmen must belong to a powerful force. However, he didn't regret it even if this was the case.
The sword was either unsheathed or unsheathed!
Moreover, he would wash up and change into a new robe. Even the old man and the young man wouldn't be able to recognize him after he tidied himself up.
"The people of the Red Clothed Association are getting more and more arrogant."
"Speak less. If they hear you, you're dead meat."
Chu Mu could vaguely hear the whispers of the swordsmen beside him. Their voices were filled with fear. He wanted to continue listening, but the two swordsmen were really worried that the people from the Red Specters Association would overhear their discussion, so they quickly shut their mouths. Chu Mu could not hear any more useful information.
After the dozen or so swordsmen from the Red Coat Association walked past them, the swordsmen returned to the street and walked forward. Chu Mu did not do anything out of the ordinary. He just followed the crowd.
Every single swordsman here had a ripple of Sword Qi. In addition, there was also an aura of blood and fire surrounding them. This meant that every single swordsman here was not a flower in a greenhouse. Every single one of them definitely had experience in life and death battles.
Chu Mu focused his attention on his surroundings, hoping to hear more information about Demon Shaker City. Unfortunately, these swordsmen were only talking about their gains in the Demon Shaker City, the demon beasts they encountered, and so on.
After listening for a while, Chu Mu finally heard someone talk about the relevant forces within Demon Shaker City. This made him even more focused, instantly ignoring the outside world.
Suddenly, three figures walked over in a row. They seemed to be rampaging. Chu Mu quickly shifted his feet to the side, but the three figures seemed to have planned it beforehand. They actually shifted their feet as well.
They were too close to each other and there were too many people around them. Add to that the fact that his attention was suddenly focused on something else, Chu Mu was unable to avoid making contact with one of them.
"Do you have a death wish? How dare you bump into me!" The other party was like a volcano that had suddenly erupted. His eyes shone with a terrifying light as he roared and extended his hand to grab Chu Mu's shoulder.
Chu Mu took a step to the side and easily avoided the other party's grab. At the same time, the other two quickly moved to form a triangular encirclement. The surrounding swordsmen seemed to have realized what was going to happen and quickly scattered.
Chu Mu was startled at first, but then his eyes flashed. He immediately understood that the sudden appearance of these three people and the fact that they were charging at him in a row was definitely premeditated.
Could it be that the matter of him killing those red-robed swordsmen had already been discovered?
No, that couldn't be right. These three people's attire was completely different from the red-robed swordsmen. They shouldn't be from the Red Coat Association. Since they weren't from the Red Coat Association, why would they attack him?
They were looking at him with mocking and ferocious gazes, like hungry wolves staring at a fat lamb. Although he still didn't know what their intentions were, Chu Mu wouldn't just sit there and wait for his death.
The sword aura emitted by these three people wasn't strong. Chu Mu could tell that two of them were at the peak of the initial Qi Transformation Stage, and one of them was at the level of Qi Transformation Stage Dacheng. Judging by their age, they should all be above 30.
A Qi Transformation Stage cultivator in their thirties would be an elder in the Qingfeng Sword Sect. Unfortunately, Qinglan Mountain was located in a remote area with thin Spirit Qi. It was not suitable for cultivation, so there were very few Qi Transformation Stage swordsmen.
In places like the border cities and this Demon Shaking City, there were not many Qi Transformation Stage swordsmen in their thirties. There were even many Qi Transformation Stage swordsmen in their twenties because of the environment.
"You son of a bitch, you offended me. How are you going to pay for this?" the swordsman on Chu Mu's right said with a face full of hostility. His cheeks twitched as he grinned.
The surrounding swordsmen seemed to be used to it. They looked at Chu Mu with pity in their eyes.
Chu Mu seemed to understand that the purpose of these three people seemed to be to treat him as a fat lamb and wanted to extort him. However, he couldn't rule out other reasons.
"What's with that look? Are you going to resist? " The swordsman in front of Chu Mu grinned malevolently as he stared at Chu Mu. He chuckled and said: "From the moment you appeared outside the city, I noticed you. It's your first time in Demon Shaking City, right? You must be very curious about Demon Shaking City and want to understand its rules as soon as possible. Right now, we're here to teach you the rules of Demon Shaker City. Since you bumped into one of my brothers, you have to pay for it. Considering that his injuries aren't serious, I'll give you ten thousand low-grade spirit stones or something of the same value, and we'll forget about it. "
"Or else what?" Chu Mu's expression didn't change as he asked unhurriedly.
"Hahahaha, listen, where did this stupid bird come from? How dare he ask what else?" The swordsman on the opposite side of Chu Mu laughed wildly. Then, he stopped laughing and stared coldly at Chu Mu. "No matter where you come from, the Demon Shaking City has its own rules. Here, you are not allowed to use Sword Qi to attack. Otherwise, you will be violating the rules of the city and will be executed. Do you think you alone can fight against the three of us with just your sword skills? "
Chu Mu suddenly understood. So, there was such a rule in the Demon Shaking City. Sword Qi was not allowed to attack because they were afraid that Sword Qi would cause large-scale destruction.
Chu Mu also understood something else from the swordsman's words. Fighting was allowed in the Demon Shaking City as long as they did not use Sword Qi.
"Stupid bird, I will give you two choices. First, obediently hand over ten thousand low-grade Spirit Stones or something of the same value. Second, we will take it from you. If you do that, you will be killed by us." The swordsman on the opposite side of Chu Mu sneered. The swordsman on the left and right side of him also had a ferocious expression on his face.
Looking at the surrounding swordsman, not only did they not stop him, they even looked as though they were watching a good show. Some of them even yawned out of boredom. It was as though something like this was not uncommon in the Demon Shaking City.
Chu Mu quickly sorted out what he had learned. He roughly knew that killing was allowed in the Demon Shaking City. As long as one did not use Sword Qi to attack, killing people would not violate any rules.
"What a chaotic place." Chu Mu secretly sighed. An inexplicable feeling of excitement rose up from the bottom of his heart. Was he excited about being able to kill people?
Chu Mu's pupils instantly contracted and he felt an impulse to unsheathe his sword.
The sword was a lethal weapon and the sword technique was a killing technique!
That was Chu Mu's motto. It was also the core of his sword technique.
"I have always believed in getting what I want with my own hands. Since you fellows want what I am carrying, I will have to do it myself," Chu Mu said calmly.
The three swordsman were stunned. The same was true for the surrounding swordsman. All of them stared at Chu Mu with looks of disbelief. It was as though they were looking at a monster.
"In that case, you can die." The three swordsman surrounding Chu Mu instantly unsheathed their swords. The three swords stabbed towards Chu Mu from different angles. As expected, there was not a single trace of Sword Qi fluctuation. Instead, there was a faint trace of Sword Intent, which increased the power of the three swords.
In the next moment, the three swords would tear apart Chu Mu's Protective Sword Qi and pierce through his body.
The Void Velocity Sword was unsheathed. No one saw how Chu Mu had unsheathed his sword. They could only vaguely see three blurry Sword Light appear and disappear in an instant. By the time they could focus and see clearly, Chu Mu's posture had not changed. The sword in his left hand was also the same as before.
However, the three swordsman surrounding Chu Mu maintained their posture of thrusting their swords out. Their swords were halfway out, almost touching Chu Mu's Protective Sword Qi. However, their eyes were wide open. They were filled with confusion and confusion. Flowers of blood bloomed from their throats as streams of blood flowed down.
In the next moment, the three of them swayed slightly and fell backwards. There were three bangs, and dust filled the air. The sound also woke up the surrounding swordsman.
"Hiss … hiss …" The swordsman all gasped. Their faces were filled with disbelief and shock. They no longer looked at Chu Mu with pity or ridicule. Instead, they were filled with fear and awe.
"What kind of sword speed is that …"
"That's too terrifying …"
"I didn't even see how he attacked."
All sorts of discussions rang out uncontrollably. When Chu Mu swept his gaze over them, these swordsmen who roamed the Chaotic Demon Plains with their heads hanging at their waists suddenly felt their hairs stand on end. They all subconsciously took a small step back.
Chu Mu withdrew his gaze and looked at the three corpses. He very skillfully took out some spiritual stones from their robes. As for their three swords, Chu Mu did not care for them at all. They were only medium grade swords.
"Sir, if you don't care for these three medium grade swords, why don't you sell them to me?" Suddenly, a voice rang out in the crowd. The person squeezed through the crowd and appeared before Chu Mu. He smiled at Chu Mu and waited for Chu Mu's reply. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
