Twenty swordsmen quickly approached and appeared in front of Chu Mu. Each of them was either grinning maliciously or brimming with killing intent. Their sharp aura was threatening as they rushed towards Chu Mu, stirring up sand and dust.
Chu Mu's eyes flashed with understanding.
More than half of these twenty swordsmen were the ones he had met before. They were the Wild Lion Gang members who had surrounded him in the Demon Shaking City and were about to kill him, but were interrupted by Han Ye.
"This is indeed a good place to be buried." Chu Mu smiled faintly as he stood up in a neither fast nor slow manner. His figure was as straight as a sword.
It seemed like he had no intention of finding trouble with them, but the Wild Lion Gang had no intention of letting him go.
Among the twenty swordsmen of the Wild Lion Gang, the strongest was the Qi Transforming Dacheng, while the weakest was at the Qi Transforming Realm. It seemed like the Wild Lion Gang had underestimated Chu Mu's strength and overestimated their own. They thought that they would be able to deal with Chu Mu with just these twenty weaklings.
"I will chop off your head and send it to the Iron Sword Gang as a gift to Han Ye. I wonder what kind of expression he will have when he sees your head. I am really looking forward to it." The leader of the Wild Lion Gang grinned maliciously, as if victory was already in his hands. Chu Mu would not be able to escape even if he grew wings.
"Kill!" With a single command, twenty clanging sounds of swords being unsheathed rang out. Twenty Sword Light flashed, and twenty different colored sword Qi shot towards Chu Mu, bringing with it a sharp whistling sound as if they wanted to tear Chu Mu into pieces.
At the same time, after the twenty swordsmen of the Wild Lion Gang had sent out their sword Qi, their bodies swayed as they shuttled back and forth. It seemed like they were using some kind of joint attack. Killing intent filled the air, chilling sword Qi, and Sword Light flashed, stabbing, slicing, chopping, and slashing at Chu Mu from all directions.
His front, back, left, right, up, and even his feet became the target of the attack. Traces of dense killing intent permeated the air, causing people to tremble in fear.
The twenty swordsmen of the Wild Lion Gang showed a tacit understanding of each other. They knew when to advance and when to retreat. Under their joint attack, they were able to maximize the power of their attacks, even exceeding their usual power. This made Chu Mu slightly surprised.
"If an ordinary Qi Transformation Realm swordsman were to suddenly face such an attack, he would be injured even if he didn't die." Chu Mu thought to himself. Perfect Vision Sword allowed him to clearly see the attack trajectories of the twenty swordsmen from the Wild Lion Gang. It was precisely because he could see them so clearly that he was even more surprised.
These 20 swordsmen's footsteps and the trajectories of their swords did not come directly at him. Instead, they covered each other and relied on each other to form a supporting force. They were able to instantly launch powerful attacks that could deal great damage, and they could also instantly switch to defense. While defending, they would also be able to launch attacks.
This move clearly showed the extraordinariness of these swordsmen who had been living in the Demon Chaos Plains for many years. Perhaps it would be difficult for them to survive here by themselves, but once they joined hands and cooperated with each other, they would be able to unleash even more power and achieve miraculous results.
That's right, this was the joint attack method the Wild Lion Gang used to deal with low-grade, high-grade, and even supra rank demonic beasts. Every single member of the Wild Lion Gang had to master this method before they were qualified to enter the Demon Chaos Plains to hunt.
Under such a sudden attack, low-grade and high-grade demonic beasts would often die on the spot, and low-grade supra rank demonic beasts would most likely be injured as well. Their strength would be greatly reduced, and they would ultimately die under their swords.
The leader of the swordsmen from the Wild Lion Gang revealed a smile. In his opinion, not only would Chu Mu not be able to escape even if he had wings, he would even die under their attacks.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated Chu Mu too much.
Chu Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, and a bright light shot out from the bottom of his eyes. His right hand gripped the hilt of his sword.
Without any reason, the swordsmen from the Wild Lion Gang felt their hearts skip a beat. Their instincts, which had been cultivated from countless life and death battles, suddenly made their hair stand on end.
They didn't even have the time to find out where that feeling came from. A bright Sword Light flashed in front of their eyes, like a cold star shooting through the sky.
All of a sudden, twenty cold stars appeared around Chu Mu's body, and shot out like a meteor chasing after the moon.
Almost at the same time, the twenty swords that were flying towards Chu Mu all stopped moving. It was because their masters had stopped moving. Their bodies seemed to have frozen, and all of them maintained their sword attacking posture. Their faces were filled with confusion and disbelief.
Flowers of blood bloomed on their throats, and streams of blood flowed down from the flowers of blood. Their lips moved slightly, and they stared at Chu Mu with eyes filled with confusion and fear. They slowly raised their left hand as if they were trying to cover their throats. Halfway through, they lost all their strength, and their whole bodies slowly fell backwards or to one side.
The swordsmen from the Wild Lion Gang had no idea that their target, who they thought they had to kill, was actually a terrifying person who could kill a Beginning Qi Hai Stage Sword Artist and fight against a Low Qi Hai Stage Sword Artist.
Their combined attack, which was able to injure a low level Super Rank Demonic Beast, was far from enough to deal with Chu Mu. Unless all twenty of them had Sword Qi at the Peak of the Qi Transformation Stage, they would not be able to threaten Chu Mu.
Ye Chen searched the twenty swordsmen's bodies with ease. In the end, he only found a few dozen Low Rank Soul Stones, and the rest were the twenty Mid Rank Swords that they used.
"What a fast speed of drawing and retracting your sword. Even I am surprised." A mocking voice suddenly sounded out. Chu Mu was shocked. He quickly turned around to look at the source of the voice, and his pupils shrank.
He saw a figure wearing a grey robe standing under a tree thirty meters away. It was as if he had merged with the tree, and Chu Mu didn't notice him at all.
A chill rose from the bottom of his feet to his spine. Chu Mu couldn't help but shiver. His pores opened up, and he was trembling.
He was able to let someone come within thirty meters of him without him noticing. If this person attacked him, he would most likely be injured, or even …
Thirty meters, for a strong swordsman, was not much different from three meters.
The grey figure thirty meters away was a man who looked like he was in his thirties or his twenties. His bald head was like that of a monk, and there was a red mole in between his eyebrows. His long and narrow eyes made his entire face look weird. In other words, he looked a bit abstract.
Because the person's Qi seemed to have merged with the trees and the surroundings, Chu Mu couldn't see his Sword Qi level. He could only tell that he was a Qi Hai Stage Sword Artist, and not just any Qi Hai Stage Sword Artist.
He quickly adjusted his breathing, and the Sky Origin Sword Qi slowly moved through his meridians. He was also ready to use the Sky Traversing Secret Technique. Although this person didn't reveal any Qi, Chu Mu's instinct told him that he was definitely not a match for him.
Since he wasn't a match for him, there was no need to fight to the death. It would be best if he could escape.
"Peak of the Qi Transformation Stage Sword Qi level. You only need one more chance to break through to the Qi Hai Stage." The bald man in the grey robe said calmly, which made Chu Mu's pupils contract.
"Don't worry, the current you does make my blood boil, but it is only a little. If you want me to use my sword, you are far from enough." The bald man in the grey robe seemed to have seen through Chu Mu's current state. He said slowly, but his tone was very strange. It was as if there was admiration, expectation, and disdain, "Hurry up and break through to the Qi Hai Stage. I will only give you half a year. After half a year, no matter if you break through to the Qi Hai Stage or not, I will come and find you again. When that time comes, if you are not strong enough, you will die."
"You are Void Butcher …" Chu Mu was slightly startled when he heard this. He then said with an uncertain tone.
"That's right, I am Void Butcher. Hahahaha …" The bald man in the grey robe suddenly laughed and admitted his identity. At the same time, the feeling of being one with the surrounding environment disappeared. A terrifying aura, like an ancient beast awakening, rushed out in all directions like a tsunami.
The surrounding trees were hit by the terrifying aura and started to sway crazily, making creaking sounds. The leaves were broken into pieces, and the sand and pebbles were thrown into the air. Chu Mu, who was thirty meters away, contracted his pupils again. He felt that Void Butcher had suddenly become a terrifying beast that had awakened and was roaring towards the sky. It was as if his roar was going to tear the sky apart.
This kind of aura would make a normal Qi Transformation Stage Sword Warrior's legs go soft.
The terrifying aura was like a tidal wave, rushing out and filling the sky with dust. Void Butcher looked deeply at Chu Mu, his eyes shining, "Work hard."
Then he quickly turned into a streak of light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When the dust settled, the tree had tilted to one side from the terrifying aura. More than half of the leaves on it were gone, making it look very miserable.
Chu Mu looked in the direction that the bald man in grey robes had left and was speechless for a long time.
He never thought that he would be targeted by Void Butcher, and become his target.
Just as Void Butcher had said, he would come looking for him in half a year. If he was not his opponent by then, he would die by his sword. Unless he left the Demon Shaking Plains and the Demon Shaking City within half a year, it would be unavoidable.
"Half a year …" Chu Mu withdrew his gaze and looked at the sky. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly in a voice that only he could hear, "Vicious Sword Void Butcher, I'm afraid you've found the wrong person. In half a year, the person who will die might not be me."
No matter what Void Butcher's intentions were when he said that he would fight Chu Mu in half a year, at the end of the day, if Chu Mu was not his opponent, then he would die by his sword.
Chu Mu would not let go of anyone who wanted to kill him. Reaping their lives was only a matter of time.
If Void Butcher chose to attack him at this time, then Chu Mu would most likely have to run. As for whether he could escape, that was another matter altogether.
However, all in all, the chances of killing Chu Mu right now were higher.
If he waited for half a year, Chu Mu was very sure that his strength would have improved significantly within this half a year. He would have become much more powerful. At that time, it would be hard to say whether it would be Void Butcher who killed him or him who killed Void Butcher.
Chu Mu put the twenty swords of the twenty swordsmen into his spatial bracelet. If there were only two or three swords, then he wouldn't be interested, but twenty of them could be sold for tens of thousands of low grade spiritual stones. (To be continued.)
