Han Ye's return made the entire Iron Sword Gang happy. At the same time, they were filled with admiration and gratitude towards Chu Mu.
At least in their memories, Chu Mu was the first person to walk out of the Red Coat Society unscathed while facing an enemy. Moreover, he even brought out their Gang Master.
Han Ye gave out an order under the witness of all the gang members. No matter when or where, as long as Chu Mu needed help, the entire Iron Sword Gang would help him, even if it meant using up all the power of the Iron Sword Gang.
Although Chu Mu did not join the Iron Sword Gang, after this incident, there was a slight connection between the Iron Sword Gang and himself.
No matter what, this incident made Chu Mu's name even more famous. The title of Sky Sword was also recognized by the public. As for the reputation of the Red Coats Association, it took a huge hit.
"Chu Mu will die sooner or later. We can't deal with him now, but soon, once Cruel Sword's master knows that his beloved disciple has been killed, he will definitely take action." The Red Coats Association's Gang Leader said darkly.
Most people thought that Cruel Sword was alone. Only a few people knew that Cruel Sword Setting Sun had a master, and that the master was an Origin Realm warrior.
When an Origin Realm warrior was angered, the consequences would not be pleasant.
After leaving the Iron Sword Gang, Chu Mu returned to the Windward Inn. He continued to feed the Wind-Winged Demon Dragon's Intermediate Demon Cores and stored them into the Beast Seal Pearl. After that, Chu Mu began his own training.
Although the progress of his Sword Qi was very slow, and he could not feel any improvement after a few days, Chu Mu still persisted in training the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Origin. However, the Nine Transformations of Heavenly Origin was not enough for a Qi Hai warrior like him. If he wanted to continue improving, he would need to change to a higher level Sword Qi Art. At the very least, it would be a Profound Level Sword Qi Art. It would be better if he had an Earth Level Sword Qi Art.
In order to directly cultivate the Heavenly Desolation Sword Mantra, Chu Mu was still persisting on his own path.
The reason he didn't use the King Level Soul Devouring Pearl was because of the limitations of the Sword Qi Spell. Even if he used the pearl, the effect wouldn't be obvious. Secondly, there might be an Origin Realm warrior guarding the Windward Inn. Once the pearl appeared, it would cause an abnormal gathering of spirit qi.
The King Tier Soul Devouring Pearl was a treasure that even Origin Realm experts would covet.
Basic sword techniques were compulsory. Comprehending sword force, concept, and Seismic Rock Energy, cultivating Heavenly Desolate Sword Body, cultivating sword techniques, and giving pointers to Ou Chengluo on his cultivation and sword techniques. Chu Mu's schedule was packed to the brim every day. If he had some free time, he would flip through the human rank ancient sword techniques and earth rank ancient sword techniques he obtained from killing enemies. Though he didn't cultivate them, he could read them and gain knowledge.
As the days passed, the title of Sky Sword became especially famous. Many people were looking forward to the battle between Sky Slaughterer and Sky Sword Chu Mu.
After the last Ancient Heavenly Desolation Pill was consumed, Chu Mu's exposed skin flickered with a layer of yellowish-brown luster. The aura of desolation spread out.
Black cracks appeared on the yellowish-brown skin, as if it was dry land.
After ten breaths of time, the black cracks seeped into the skin. The yellowish-brown luster gradually dimmed, and the skin returned to normal. From the outside, one could not see any difference from before. However, Chu Mu could feel the changes within.
His finger forcefully pressed against the skin on his arm. Chu Mu immediately felt a feeling full of elasticity, as if it was high quality rubber. A powerful resistance was resisting the force of his finger pressing down.
When he released his finger, the sunken skin immediately bounced back and returned to normal. This amazing elasticity would make countless women scream.
Even though he did not try it, Chu Mu knew that not only was his skin shockingly elastic and tough, it was also shockingly strong. It was definitely much stronger than before.
He took out another low-grade Spirit Stone. He extended his finger and used the Stone Shaking Force to touch the low-grade Spirit Stone. With a bang, the low-grade Spirit Stone exploded into pieces. Chu Mu's finger was as good as new. It was not injured at all. This was clearly different from before.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Chu Mu flicked his Sword Qi to open the door. Han Ye walked in anxiously.
"Brother Chu, Brother Chu, something bad has happened." The moment Han Ye opened his mouth, Chu Mu did not understand.
"What's bad?" Chu Mu asked.
"The demonic beast riot has begun again." Han Ye immediately said, "Right now, the swordsmen outside have all returned to the city. They have also set up defenses outside the city. According to the news, the demonic beast army has already gathered at the foot of the Chaotic Demon Mountain. They are ready to attack at any time."
"Demonic beast riot." Chu Mu was shocked. He did not know if his luck was good or bad. He actually encountered a demonic beast riot.
However, before entering the Demon Shaker City, Chu Mu had thought that he might encounter a demonic beast riot.
"This time, according to the information reported by our scouts, the demonic beast army might reach a million. It is very dangerous. Brother Chu, Brother Chu, now you only have two choices. The first is to defend the Demon Shaker City and fight the demonic beasts until the demonic beast army is killed or repelled. The second choice is to leave the Demon Shaker City before the demonic beast army arrives, "Han Ye said seriously.
"Every time a demonic beast riot happens, many people will die." Chu Mu did not answer. Instead, he asked, "What about you guys?"
"The Iron Sword Gang is the Iron Sword Gang of the Demon Shaker City. Naturally, we will stay and die with the Demon Shaker City." Han Ye did not hesitate to answer with a resolute tone.
An army of a million demonic beasts. So far, such a demonic beast riot had only happened once. Although they were lucky enough to repel the demonic beast army, hundreds of thousands of swordsmen had died. It was a great loss.
This time, no one had the confidence to repel the army of a million demonic beasts. Regardless of whether they could repel the army of a million demonic beasts or not, the Demon Shaker City would definitely suffer great losses. No one knew how many swordsmen would die.
Even a Sword Hero rank swordsman couldn't guarantee that he would survive to the end in such a fight. Therefore, Han Ye asked this question. After all, Chu Mu wasn't a Demon Shaking City swordsman. He came from somewhere else.
"A demonic beast riot is a rare occurrence. Since I am here, there is no reason to retreat." Chu Mu smiled. Not only was there no fear, there was an unconcealable excitement in his voice. Even Chu Mu himself could not explain why he was so excited.
"Good." Han Ye's eyes lit up as he shouted.
If Chu Mu chose to leave, no one would say anything. After all, this was a battle where life and death could not be guaranteed. But in the face of such an unpredictable crisis, he chose to stay. Han Ye felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
"We may not lose this battle," Han Ye said. He had more sources of information and knew more about the situation. "A few days ago, after the demonic beast riot was confirmed, the few Venerables in the Demon Shaker City have already sent out the news to the outside world. I believe there will be even more powerful swordsmen rushing over."
Chu Mu nodded and followed Han Ye out of the inn. He wanted to see the current situation.
Walking on the street, many swordsmen immediately made way for Chu Mu because they recognized Chu Mu's identity.
Sky Sword!
Chu Mu glanced around and discovered that the number of swordsmen on the street seemed to be several times more than usual. They seemed to be very crowded, as if they were rushing to the market. Moreover, he smelled a trace of something unusual. He felt that the air was somewhat oppressive, making him uncomfortable and uneasy. It was like the feeling before a storm.
He subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky. There were layers of dark clouds. The dark clouds were constantly accumulating, becoming thicker and heavier, as if they were about to crush down.
These dark clouds were different from the usual dark clouds. It seemed to be filled with demonic Qi.
From the conversations that came from time to time, Chu Mu knew that the demonic beasts on the Demon Shaker Mountain had become strange since more than a month ago. They were more violent and appeared everywhere. Combining all these, it was determined that this was the sign of a demonic beast riot.
However, they could not be sure at that time. A demonic beast riot was a big deal. If they made a wrong judgment, it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Thus, when the demonic beast army began to gather a few days ago, they were finally 100% sure that a demonic beast riot was about to begin. Thus, all the defensive fortifications against the demonic beast army began to be built.
With a boom, a sound came from the direction of the Demon Shaker Mountain, attracting the attention of countless swordsmen in the Demon Shaker City. Immediately after, a strong wave of demonic Qi surged over like a wave.
Chu Mu could even see that in the Demon Shaker Mountain, which was very far away from the Demon Shaker City, a terrifying grey demonic Qi soared into the sky. The grey demonic Qi was like a pillar that pierced through the dark clouds in the sky, causing the already thick dark clouds to become even thicker and heavier. It was like a huge cloud of lead was crushing down. It was so oppressive that it made people feel suffocated.
The demonic Qi constantly entered the dark clouds, causing the dark clouds to become thicker and heavier at the same time. It created a terrifying pressure on most of the swordsmen in the Demon Shaker City.
Most of the swordsmen in the Demon Shaker City were at the Sword Qi Realm and the Qi Transformation Realm. Only a small portion of them were at the Qi Sea Realm. This kind of terrifying pressure could only be completely resisted by Qi Sea Realm swordsmen. The Qi Transformation Realm swordsmen felt the heavy pressure as if they were carrying a thousand pound rock. As for the Sword Qi Realm swordsmen, even breathing became difficult, as if they were about to suffocate to death.
At this moment, waves of incomparably powerful auras burst out from every corner of the Demon Shaker City. The auras were like swords that pierced through the void and pierced through the thick dark clouds. Rumbling sounds were constantly heard as bursts of explosions spread throughout the entire Demon Shaker City.
All the swordsmen realized that the terrifying pressure on their bodies had disappeared.
Those who had some understanding of demonic beast riots knew that the Astral Realm experts in the Demon Shaker City were releasing their auras to resist the suppression of the demonic Qi in the dark clouds.
There were quite a few Astral Realm experts in the Demon Shaker City. They all released their auras at the same time. Every aura was like a sword that could break through the heavens. The dense demonic Qi was instantly shattered, and the thick dark clouds were also shattered by the sword-like auras. In just ten breaths of time, the dark clouds in the sky above the Demon Shaker City were only left with a few bits of black color. They quickly dissipated, revealing a clear sky.
However, the sky outside the Demon Shaker City was still filled with thick dark clouds. They tried to rush into the sky above the Demon Shaker City, but they were all blocked by the auras of the Astral Realm experts. There was a clear distinction between the two.
This situation meant that the attack of the demonic beast army was about to begin. (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.)
