Golden light shot out and smashed one of the phantoms. Ninety-eight of the 99 phantoms disappeared in the blink of an eye. Chu Mu appeared again, his face slightly pale.
This was the third level of the Heaven Traversing Secret Technique: Phantom Crack.
As the name suggested, the body would produce many phantoms that would rush in all directions. It would look like the body had exploded into a hundred phantoms, and one of them was the real body.
However, because the phantoms were too fast and had a certain degree of confusion, it was difficult to distinguish the real from the phantoms. It was an excellent dodging technique, and it was also an excellent counterattack technique if used properly.
It was the first time that someone had been able to dodge the Thunderwing Golden Roc's attack. The Thunderwing Golden Roc let out a sharp cry and flapped its wings. A thunderbolt appeared above Chu Mu and struck down.
Chu Mu felt his scalp tingle and his hair stand on end. Before he could think, his body had already reacted instinctively and quickly moved to the side.
Just a small step away, a purple thunderbolt as thick as an arm struck down from the side. Chu Mu's Protective Sword Qi was affected and shattered. The protection of the feathered armor was not activated in time. Half of his body felt numb from the electric shock.
At the same time, the four swordsmen released their sword moves. They rushed toward the Thunderwing Golden Roc like flood dragons and torrents.
The Thunderwing Golden Roc did not have strong defensive abilities like the Mountain Splitting Ape and the Black Mountain Bull. Once it was hit by the four sword moves, it would definitely be injured. Its body flashed and disappeared into a golden light, causing the four attacks to miss again.
The Thunderwing Golden Roc was too fast. Even Chu Mu's Perfect Vision Sword could only capture a vague figure. It was very difficult to lock onto the Thunderwing Golden Roc and hit it.
How could they fight without locking onto it?
In theory, more than two hundred swordsmen could easily kill the Thunderwing Golden Roc. The problem was that they could hit it. However, the Thunderwing Golden Roc was too fast and could not be hit at all. It also had the ability to control thunder and lightning. Its attack power was terrifying.
Up until now, the Thunderwing Golden Roc had not been injured at all. However, nearly twenty of the two hundred swordsmen had died.
The swordsmen watching from afar were trying their best to recover as they watched the battles around them with wide eyes. They were extremely nervous.
The 300,000-strong demonic beast army was also watching the battle between the four mid-grade demonic beast overlords and the human swordsman. Without orders, they wouldn't attack.
The tall Mountain Splitting Ape stood there unmoving, using its powerful body and its pair of palms to fight against more than two hundred swordsmen. The two hundred swordsmen were unable to do anything to it, and it had instead killed nearly ten of them.
As the saying went, enough ants could bite an elephant to death. Under the combined attacks of over two hundred swordsmen, more and more wounds appeared on the Mountain-Splitting Ape's body. Although each wound was very small compared to its body, when there were so many wounds, the Mountain-Splitting Ape still felt waves of pain as blood flowed out.
The Black Mountain Bulls rushed here and there, shaking their heads and horns. The swordsmen all used their movement techniques to dodge and counterattack, but the Black Mountain Bulls' defense was too strong. At most, their attacks only left white scratches on their bodies, unable to cause any damage.
Similarly, only three swordsmen were killed by the Black Mountain Bulls.
The number of swordsmen that died to the Silver Dipper Monstrous Wolf's claws was the most. There were already thirty-two of them. Its sharp claws were indestructible and extremely fast. As long as one was locked onto, it was almost impossible to dodge.
Fortunately, the Silver Dipper Monstrous Wolf's defense was far inferior to the Black Mountain Bulls, and its speed was far inferior to the Thunderwing Golden Roc. There were eight wounds on its body, and each of them was dripping with blood. This began to affect the Silver Dipper Monstrous Wolf's movements, causing its speed to decrease.
Chu Mu took a pill to recover his sword qi.
The previous slaughter had used up a small portion of his sword qi. Using the Heaven Traversing Secret Technique's third level, Phantom Hundred-Crack, had used up a large amount of sword qi. With his current cultivation, he could only use it three times at his peak.
Now, Chu Mu's remaining sword qi was only enough for one Phantom Hundred-Crack. He had to take a pill to recover as soon as possible.
"The Thunderwing Golden Roc's speed is too fast. Whether it's using the Stone Shaking Wave Sword or the Space Splitting Sword, it's hard to hit it. The best time to attack is when it's close to me." Chu Mu's eyes shone brightly as he stared at the rapidly moving golden light. The Thunderwing Golden Roc could cover a distance of several dozen meters in an instant.
With such speed, even the Space Splitting Sword, which was extremely fast, could not lock onto it.
Therefore, if he wanted to injure or even kill the Thunderwing Golden Roc, the only way was to get close to it. Moreover, there was only one chance. With the Thunderwing Golden Roc's intelligence, it kept making the same mistake.
"This time, let's try out the power of my new sword technique." Chu Mu thought to himself. He took a deep breath and stared at the Thunderwing Golden Roc without blinking. He focused his mind, and everything around him disappeared. There was only the constantly moving golden light in his eyes.
The benefits of having a powerful soul showed once again. Chu Mu quickly entered a special state. This state had a name: Hyperfocus. In this state, there was only a target in his eyes. His thoughts became clearer than ever, and his vision was pushed to the limit. Everything that could be captured was captured by his eyes.
Time passed bit by bit. The golden light's movement seemed to have slowed down. The moving tracks formed tiny golden lines that connected together and appeared in Chu Mu's eyes.
The space in front of him seemed to be a world of countless tiny golden lines. They crisscrossed without any pattern.
Chu Mu's eyes fell on the golden light and followed its high-speed movement.
In an instant, the golden light changed direction. Chu Mu suddenly realized that the Thunderwing Golden Roc's target was him!
As soon as he thought of this, the golden light had already rushed toward Chu Mu. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of Chu Mu. The highly focused mind and powerful soul power made Chu Mu's vision clearer than ever. He could even see the dust in the air.
In his eyes, a pale golden Thunderwing Golden Roc was rushing toward him at an indescribable speed. Its sharp claws were open, and the cold light on the claws was clear and dazzling.
Because it was so fast, the sharp claws seemed to tear the space apart, leaving tiny scratches.
In the hundredth of a second, Chu Mu didn't even think. He instinctively reacted in Minute Subtlety. The sword aura wings on his back didn't move. Instead, he relied on the vibration of his muscles to move three feet in the air, narrowly dodging the Thunder Winged Golden Roc's sharp claws.
Sword!
It was impossible to describe the magnificence of this sword because Chu Mu had just slashed out. Its speed was not fast or slow, and it was very even. It maintained the same speed from the beginning, as if it would be maintained until the end.
With a sharp sound, the sword slashed through the air, leaving a faint black shadow. The black shadow emitted a frightening aura, as if a layer of skin had been peeled off.
A strong sense of danger welled up in the Thunderwing Golden Roc's heart. This was the first time it had felt this way when facing a human. It suddenly flapped its wings, and its speed instantly increased by thirty percent. It rushed forward and was about to escape the attack range of this sword.
As if it had sensed the Thunderwing Golden Roc's outburst, the speed of the sword suddenly increased by several times. It slashed through the air, and a faint black shadow spread out like an ink painting.
An extremely terrifying power condensed on the sword, but it did not emit any fluctuations. It was as if the terrifying energy had squeezed into the sword and become a part of it, causing the sword to undergo an indescribable change. The weight of the sword seemed to have increased by three times.
Like a stream of light, the sword slashed horizontally. Following that, an incomparably sharp scream resounded throughout the world. The Thunder-Winged Golden Roc suddenly flapped its wings and its speed increased a little. It transformed into a golden bolt of lightning and shot forward.
A few drops of blood dripped down, and a broken claw fell down. Chu Mu picked up the claw with the tip of his sword. It was very big.
The Thunderwing Golden Roc had two claws, and now that one of them had been cut off by Chu Mu, it was severely injured.
Surprisingly, the injured Thunderwing Golden Roc did not fight back. Instead, it turned into a golden lightning and flew towards the direction of the Chaoyao Mountain. In the blink of an eye, there was only a small golden dot left, and then it turned into a black dot. An ear-piercing sound was heard, and the terrifying airflow made the surrounding swordsmen stagger and almost fall to the ground.
These swordsmen were all stunned. It was as if their brains had rusted, and they could not react.
After three breaths, some of the swordsmen finally woke up. It was obvious that the powerful Thunderwing Golden Roc had escaped. Yes, the terrifying Thunderwing Golden Roc that had killed more than twenty Qi Hai swordsmen had escaped.
At this moment, all of the Qi Hai swordsmen in the sky looked at Chu Mu. Their eyes were filled with confusion and a trace of respect.
With their eyesight, they couldn't clearly see what happened in that instant because the Thunder Winged Golden Roc was too fast. Chu Mu's horizontal slash seemed ordinary, neither fast nor slow, but in reality, it was extremely fast. Otherwise, how could it have hit the Thunder Winged Golden Roc?
Although they did not see it, the hundred swordsmen understood that the Thunderwing Golden Roc had escaped because of Chu Mu. The few drops of blood in the air and the broken claw in Chu Mu's hand were enough to prove this point.
Therefore, while they were surprised and confused, they also had a trace of respect for Chu Mu.
The Thunderwing Golden Roc's shrill cry was also heard by the other three middle ranked beast overlords. Even the hundreds of Qi Hai swordsmen and other swordsmen could hear it. They all looked up to the sky and saw the Thunderwing Golden Roc's back as it flew away. They were all stunned.
The Silver Gale Monster Wolf, Mountain Splitting Ape, and Black Mountain Bull were even more surprised. Although they were intelligent, they could not understand what was happening in front of them. They did not see the collision between the Thunderwing Golden Roc and Chu Mu, nor did they see Chu Mu's sword slash.
Thus, the three middle class overlords didn't understand why the Thunder Winged Golden Roc wanted to leave. However, the three middle class overlords' intelligence told them that the situation wasn't good and they already had thoughts of retreating. Especially when they saw the broken claw in Chu Mu's hand, they understood that this human probably had the ability to injure them.
Immediately, the three mid-level overlords roared. The army of demonic beasts behind them also roared and started to move again. They madly rushed forward and launched another assault.
The beast army rushed past the three middle ranked beast overlords and charged towards the swordsmen without fear of death. The three middle ranked beast overlords quickly retreated.
