"The negotiation failed." Fu Tiesheng left the Windward Inn and returned to the Red Dress Association. He immediately reported the result to the Red Dress Association's leader, "He is very strong. I am not confident that I can defeat him. I believe that he has the strength to defeat a Perfect Qi Hai Realm Sword Artist. So once he leaves the city, it will be very difficult to catch him."
"If that is the case, then kill him in the city." The Red Dress Association's leader said slowly after a few breaths of silence, "Send someone to keep an eye on the Windward Inn. Once he leaves the Windward Inn, ask Sunsets for help."
"Sunsets …" Fu Tiesheng's voice trembled as his pupils contracted.
Sky Slaughtering Sword, Sunsets Sword, Blood Burning Sword, and Ghost Mist Sword!
These were the four people that must not be provoked in the Demon Shaker City because they were lone wolves. They did not belong to any organization and were extremely powerful. Once they were provoked, even if they did not die immediately, they would continue to attack until they died.
Even a force as powerful as the Red Coat Association would not be willing to provoke such an existence. If they could not kill it, they would have to face their revenge. Constantly being on guard against such a powerful enemy was an incomparable headache.
They also never made friends with others. Perhaps they thought that others did not have the qualifications to do so.
In short, they were a group of people who were difficult to deal with. Someone once offered a high price to hire them, but was immediately rejected. These four people had their own principles and were not influenced by others.
Therefore, when Fu Tiesheng heard that Sunsets was asked to help, he could not hide his shock. He knew that the Red Dress Association would have a follow-up plan to deal with Chu Mu. He did not expect that they would ask Sunsets for help.
Hearing the leader's words, it seemed that Sunsets had agreed to help. This was quite unbelievable. The Red Dress Association must have given him something that he needed. Otherwise, he would not have agreed to help.
"Good. With Sunsets, this person will die without a doubt. When the time comes, everything he has will be ours." Fu Tiesheng clenched his fist and said coldly. A sinister smile hung on his lips.
If one wanted to kill someone in the Demon Shaker City, they were not allowed to use their Sword Qi. The best way to kill someone was to use their Sword Arts. Using a high level of attainment in Sword Arts together with the Power of Concept would result in a terrifying lethality.
Among the four of them, Sunsets' swordsmanship was publicly acknowledged to be the second best. As for the number one, it was Ghostly Mist Sword. Even Void Slaughterer and Bloodblade Foulness acknowledged this. However, Ghostly Mist Sword's whereabouts were unpredictable. No one even knew what he looked like.
There were even rumors that Broken Sword Sunsets' swordsmanship was the second best in Shifter City. No one refuted this claim.
…
The threat Fu Tiesheng left before he left didn't scare Chu Mu. After closing the door, Chu Mu took out the piece of paper from his space bracelet.
This piece of paper was very thin, about the length and width of a palm. It was almost translucent, like a piece of oiled paper. Densely packed ancient black characters were written on it.
The ancient black characters were very strange. They didn't seem to have any pattern to them. They overlapped and overlapped with each other. At first glance, it was very difficult to distinguish them. In fact, the closer one looked at them, the messier the characters became.
This time, Chu Mu had the time to properly study the paper. Calming his heart, he focused all of his attention on this piece of paper.
In the first breath, Chu Mu felt dazzled. In the third breath, Chu Mu felt dizzy. His body swayed as if he was about to collapse. In the fifth breath, Chu Mu felt as if his stomach was overturning. However, Chu Mu's tenacious willpower and nerves allowed him to forcefully hold on.
In the tenth breath, Chu Mu felt his vision turn blurry. The ancient black characters on the paper seemed to come alive, transforming into tadpoles. They flew out of the paper and swam in front of Chu Mu as if they were wandering in a river.
Every tadpole carried an indescribable might as they continuously battered Chu Mu's mind and willpower. It was as if a hammer was violently hammering him.
Ordinary Swordsmen wouldn't be able to endure this kind of hammering. Every hammering would shatter their mind and willpower. It was a pain that penetrated deep into their soul.
However, Chu Mu's soul was ten times stronger than an ordinary Swordsman's. His mind and willpower had also become incomparably resilient due to his repeated training. Under the repeated assault of these tadpoles, Chu Mu was able to endure.
After enduring, Chu Mu discovered the benefits.
The ancient black characters battered and hammered again and again. It was as if a hammer was hammering a red-hot soldering iron. The impurities within the soldering iron were expelled bit by bit, making the soldering iron purer, tougher, and harder. It was as if a piece of soldering iron had been forged into a sword embryo.
Chu Mu could feel his mind and willpower strengthening at an imperceptible rate, little by little.
No matter what he obtained in the end, just the tempering of his mind and willpower was a great harvest.
Mind and willpower originated from the soul. The soul was the foundation. The stronger one became, the stronger one's mind and willpower would be. However, this was only one of the fundamental methods. There were other methods to strengthen one's mind and willpower.
For example, pain. After enduring inhuman pain again and again, one's mind and willpower would grow. Another example was a high-intensity battle. Fighting for a short period of time was easy, but fighting for a long period of time not only tested one's physical endurance, but also their mind and willpower. Otherwise, they would collapse.
In short, there were many ways to strengthen one's mind and willpower, but none of them were easy to bear.
Chu Mu now felt that his mind and willpower were like a red-hot soldering iron, being hammered again and again. Every hammering seemed to remove a trace of impurities from the soldering iron, causing the soldering iron to constantly change.
In fact, Chu Mu's soul force was strong enough, but most of it had not been developed. What he displayed now was only a small part of it. His mind and willpower could not be fully displayed.
Therefore, the ancient characters on the paper hammered Chu Mu's mind and willpower again and again. It was also a process of developing his soul, although it was very, very slow.
Every time the ancient characters battered Chu Mu's mind and willpower, they would shatter and turn into strands of energy that entered Chu Mu's soul, turning into characters one after another.
Chu Mu forgot the passage of time. He was completely immersed in it, as if thousands of years had passed.
When he came back to his senses, he felt that the paper in front of him had returned to its original state. No matter how hard he tried, it was still covered in ancient black characters. However, no matter how focused he was, he would not feel dizzy or nauseous.
Then, Chu Mu felt as if something had appeared in his mind, some information.
He quickly put the paper into his space bracelet and checked the changes in his body. He felt that his mind, energy, and spirit were full, unprecedentedly full.
His mind and willpower had been strengthened by a lot, and the effect was even more obvious than when he used the Blood Evil Stone. As for how much it had increased, Chu Mu could not be sure, because mind and willpower were intangible and difficult to measure.
In any case, the strengthening of his mind and willpower was greatly beneficial to him. He suddenly remembered that he still had a high-grade Blood Evil Stone. He hadn't used it before because he didn't have enough endurance. Now, he should be able to use it.
Chu Mu did not immediately take out the high-grade Blood Evil Stone. Instead, he checked the information that had appeared in his mind.
Read!
The amount of information in his mind was not large, but it was not easy to understand. Even with Chu Mu's monstrous comprehension, it took him half an hour to finish reading it, and he only understood one-fifth of it.
Chu Mu continued to read it again patiently. He read it ten times in a row, comprehending it word by word, and then integrated it to understand it. Finally, he understood that section of information.
That section of information recorded the Sky-shaking Energy Fusing to Forge a Sword.
This was not out of Chu Mu's expectations. What really shocked and surprised Chu Mu was that he could practice the Sky-shaking Energy Fusing to Forge a Sword.
Perhaps this was not accurate, because as long as one could obtain the cultivation method of this Great Sword Forging Technique, anyone could cultivate it. However, a swordsman's main goal was to cultivate the sword. If one were to divide their attention to cultivate the Great Sword Forging Technique, they would only waste their time and energy. In the end, they might achieve nothing.
After all, a person's energy was limited. If one wanted to achieve outstanding achievements in one area, they had to invest more time and energy, and could not be distracted.
Walking the path of a swordsman or walking the path of a swordsman, one had to make a choice.
Just like the Ou Clan, they had to make such a choice, which led to the Ou Clan's eventual destruction, because they did not have enough strength to deter others.
Originally, Chu Mu only wanted to see the secret of this paper out of curiosity, and he also expected to obtain the Sky-shaking Energy Fusing to Forge a Sword. However, he had his own ideas, and even if he obtained the Sky-shaking Energy Fusing to Forge a Sword, he would not practice it.
Now, Chu Mu changed his mind.
"The Sky-shaking Energy Fusing to Forge a Sword … The reason why it can surpass other Sky-shaking Energy Fusing to Forge a Sword is because its secret lies in the power of vibration and the Energy Fusing." Chu Mu's eyes flickered with light, "I have mastered the power of vibration, and it just so happens that this Sky-shaking Energy Fusing to Forge a Sword can assist me in practicing the Stone Trembling Energy."
Combining the Sky-shaking Energy Fusing with the Sword, and contributing to the improvement of one's strength, this was the best way, and it was also the way that Chu Mu was most satisfied with.
However, there was still a focus.
Chu Mu would focus on practicing the Sword, and the Sky-shaking Energy Fusing to Forge a Sword would be an auxiliary.
First, his spirit and will had been hammered by the ancient characters on the paper, and his soul had been tempered, developing more, and his spirit and will had become stronger. Now, Chu Mu had obtained a Sky-shaking Energy Fusing to Forge a Sword that could assist him in practicing the Stone Trembling Energy, killing two birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, Chu Mu almost could not help but let out a long howl, if not for the fact that he was in the tavern.
After ten breaths, Chu Mu calmed down, and took out the only high-grade Blood Evil Stone to temper his will. (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.)
