About three thousand meters away from the Chaoyao Mountains, a large number of swordsmen had gathered. There were even more swordsmen who had rushed over from the foot of the mountain.
Not long after, a moon-white figure flew over like a startled swan and landed lightly like a feather. The newcomer was Chu Mu.
Earlier, he had been surrounded by a dozen swordsmen who had tried to capture Chu Mu alive and bring him back to Mister Yun. Unfortunately, Chu Mu was too nimble for them to catch. So they gave up on the idea of capturing Chu Mu alive and instead focused on killing Chu Mu.
Unsurprisingly, there were only a dozen or so Qi Transforming Sword Practitioners who hadn't even comprehended the surface of Sword Force. How could they be Chu Mu's opponent? One breath, one sword, one kill. In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so Sword Practitioners all died under Chu Mu's sword. The only one left alive was interrogated by Chu Mu before being sent to the afterlife.
Because of this, Chu Mu learned of the location of the cave and quickly rushed over. He didn't want to be too late and end up empty-handed.
As soon as he appeared, many eyes fell on Chu Mu. Soon after, many of them revealed looks of ridicule and killing intent as they locked onto Chu Mu.
What was even more interesting was that the ten Golden Lion Swordsmen of the Wild Lion Gang had also arrived. Moreover, some of the gang's main force had also arrived. When Chu Mu appeared, all of their gazes fell on Chu Mu, killing intent shooting out from their eyes.
"The target has appeared." One of the Golden Lion Swordsmen said with a cold expression.
The other nine Golden Lion Swordsmen also had cold expressions, killing intent rising in their hearts. They had been tracking Chu Mu for several days now, but they hadn't been able to find him. This made the Golden Lion Swordsmen, who were quite confident in their tracking skills, very angry.
Now that Chu Mu had appeared in front of them, it was tantamount to delivering meat to their mouths. Each and every one of them gripped the hilts of their swords, thinking of drawing their swords and directly killing Chu Mu.
"Brat, you clearly have the cultivation of the Qi Transformation Realm. Why are you pretending to be at the initial stage of the Qi Transformation Realm? Are you planning to sneak attack us?" A swordsman with the Qi Transformation Realm said coldly to Chu Mu. His words were like a fuse. Even more people stared at Chu Mu with malicious gazes. However, for a moment, no one made the first move, causing the atmosphere to become extremely strange and desolate.
Chu Mu only glanced at him indifferently. He didn't answer because he didn't need to. The purpose of this person's words was to provoke him. No matter what Chu Mu said, it would only incite the other party to further pressure him with words, which would eventually lead to him becoming everyone's enemy.
"You have nothing to say, you treacherous villain. You even injured Great Mister Yun. Great Mister Yun is kind enough to not bicker with you, but I have received a favor from Great Mister Yun. Today, I will capture you, you treacherous villain." As soon as he finished speaking, the swordsman's body flashed. He was like a poisonous snake slithering out of its cave. He wasn't fast, but he was strange and unpredictable.
With a slight clang, he pulled out his sword and stabbed it towards Chu Mu. Sword Qi and the power of Intent Realm were infused into the sword, causing it to be incomparably swift and fierce. It was like a cold light shuttling through the air.
Before the sword arrived, its sharpness had already cut through the air with a hissing sound, causing a chill to sweep through the air.
Many people's gazes contained traces of ridicule. The Golden Lion Sword Guards of the Wild Lion Gang also released their grip on their swords. They all stared at Chu Mu with sharp eyes, wanting to see how Chu Mu would deal with this sword attack.
If Chu Mu's cultivation was at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm, then it wouldn't be so easy for him to deal with this sword attack.
Chu Mu didn't move at all. His expression didn't change. It was as if he was scared stiff.
Just when the sword was three meters away from Chu Mu, Chu Mu moved his hand. The crowd only heard a clanging sound, and they could vaguely see a blurry flash of sword light. The Qi Hai Realm Swordsmen squinted their eyes to see more clearly, but it was still a bit blurry.
The Sword Light was like a dream. It shattered and disappeared in an instant. The sword that was stabbing towards Chu Mu stopped two meters away from Chu Mu. In the eyes of others, Chu Mu's sword was still in the scabbard and had never been unsheathed.
The swordsmen in front of Chu Mu didn't know what was going on, but the swordsmen behind Chu Mu all had a change in expression. Their pupils contracted as they looked at the throat of the swordsman. There was a flower of blood there. It was sad but beautiful.
With a bang, dust filled the air. The swordsman fell backwards with his sword in hand. His eyes were wide open and filled with confusion. He died with his eyes wide open.
Suddenly, the crowd became silent. Even the Qi Hai swordsmen felt their hairs stand on end. They looked at Chu Mu's sword and couldn't help but swallow their saliva. They felt a slight pain in their throats.
Fast, it was too fast. It was as if Chu Mu didn't even use his sword. But the wound on the corpse's throat told them that the young swordsman in the moon white robe had used his sword.
The ten Golden Lion Sword Guards suddenly felt their hairs stand on end. They were all at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm. The leader was even at the peak of the Qi Transformation Realm. Any one of them was stronger than the swordsman who was killed. But there was a limit to how strong they could be. It was impossible for them to kill the swordsman in one strike. They all had a feeling that if they were to face Chu Mu's sword, they would have died as well.
At this moment, all of the Sword Artists present were extremely afraid of Chu Mu. This was because the strongest Sword Artist here was only at the Low Qi Hai Realm. Chu Mu's sword attack speed was so fast that even a Low Qi Hai Realm Sword Artist would be shocked.
"He is only one person. No matter how fast his sword is, can he kill dozens of people in an instant?" Suddenly, someone said coldly, waking everyone up, "Don't forget, after the cave appears, the less people there are, the more rewards there will be."
With this, Chu Mu became everyone's target again.
The other swordsmen were all in groups. Only Chu Mu was alone. But the strength he showed was so terrifying that he could kill Qi Transformation Realm swordsmen in an instant and shock Low Qi Hai Realm swordsmen. It was obvious that this person was cruel and merciless. Once he entered the cave, he would become everyone's biggest obstacle.
"You dare to kill people from the Mayor's mansion? Only death awaits you."
"The twenty three brothers of the Wild Lion Gang are waiting for your head to be sacrificed."
"Mister Yun is a righteous man. You dared to injure Mister Yun. We will settle this score with you on behalf of Mister Yun."
Shouts sounded out one after another. Many Qi locked onto Chu Mu. Most of the swordsmen took a step forward. Their aura was cold and murderous. Gusts of wind blew and dust filled the air.
Chu Mu's heart tightened. There were hundreds of Qi locked onto him. Among them, there were even Qi Hai Realm swordsmen. He didn't show it on his face, but he knew in his heart that this was the first time he had encountered such danger since he came to the Ancient Sword Continent.
If all of these people attacked at the same time, even if they didn't have a combined attack skill, he would be in big trouble. The violent Sword Qi was enough to tear him to pieces.
Although Chu Mu didn't show it on his face, he was calculating quickly in his mind. His brain was spinning fast and all kinds of possibilities appeared in his mind. He eliminated them one by one.
Danger, this was a danger he had never faced before. Being surrounded by so many powerful swordsmen, Chu Mu didn't have the confidence to escape safely.
But he wasn't afraid. The Heavenly Origin Sword Qi was moving faster in his meridians. In a short while, it had completed a full cycle. Moreover, it was moving faster and faster. Even Qi Hai Realm swordsmen would be shocked by this speed.
If it was in the past, Chu Mu would definitely restrain it. However, ever since his meridians had undergone the Heavenly Desolation Transformation, they had become even more resilient. This level of sword aura transport was unable to place any burden on his meridians, so Chu Mu allowed the sword aura to continue to accelerate.
He realized that with this speed of movement, the Sword Qi was purifying bit by bit.
To reach the ninth revolution of the Nine Revolutions of Heavenly Origin, one had to start from the purity of the Sword Qi. When the Sword Qi reached a certain level of purity, it would naturally break through to the ninth revolution.
Chu Mu had also been purifying the Sword Qi. According to his progress, he estimated that within three months, the Sword Qi would reach the requirement to break through to the ninth revolution.
And now, under the pressure of hundreds of swordsmen's killing intent, Chu Mu also gained a lot of motivation. Naturally, the Sword Qi moved faster.
"Kill him." A deep voice suddenly sounded. In a split second, hundreds of swordsmen were about to pull out their swords.
Suddenly, a ferocious aura descended from the sky. It was as if an ancient beast had awakened. This kind of ferocious aura was earth-shattering. It crushed down and made everyone feel like ants. For a moment, they were unable to move. Everyone's faces turned pale and cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Including Chu Mu, everyone immediately raised their heads and looked up. Their eyes were filled with vigilance.
This ferocious aura that came out of nowhere like a flash flood gave Chu Mu a familiar feeling.
Then, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky. It was not big, but it gave people the feeling that it covered the sky. Everyone felt as if they were covered by a shadow. Anyone would tremble under this figure.
The figure landed right in the middle of everyone. It was a bald monk's head that could reflect light. It was wearing a grey robe that resembled a monk's robe. There was a red mole in between his eyebrows. His eyes were long and narrow. His appearance was indescribably strange.
Sky Slaughterer!
"This person is my target. I will kill anyone who touches him." Sky Slaughterer's narrow eyes first landed on Chu Mu, then slowly scanned through everyone. There was no threat or intimidation. He only said that sentence in a very calm tone.
Everyone was shocked. They quickly let go of their swords and retracted their killing intent. They looked at Chu Mu with pity.
So, he was the target of the Sky Slaughterer.
They were all very familiar with the Sky Slaughterer's way of doing things. Anyone who was targeted by him was definitely not someone a normal swordsman could compare with. It was not an exaggeration to call him a genius. However, once targeted by the Sky Slaughterer, it was indeed safe for a certain period of time. Once the time was up, they would die under the Sky Slaughterer's sword. This had been proven many times and had never been wrong.
Although they did not want to die under the Sky Slaughterer's sword with their own hands, since he was already the target of the Sky Slaughterer, he would die sooner or later. There was no need to offend the Sky Slaughterer for someone who was already dead.
Even a force like the Red Dress Association would not want to offend an enemy like the Sky Slaughterer. (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.)
