(Thanks to "Wind Riding Sword" for the tip. Something came up at the last minute, so this chapter was delayed.)
"Demon Sword Ghostmist, you really live up to your name." Chu Mu muttered to himself as he strode towards the city gate.
The person who suddenly attacked just now, although he didn't reveal his identity, from his sword technique and his retreating figure, Chu Mu was sure that he was the Demon Sword Ghost Fog whose whereabouts were the most unpredictable.
The reason why he did not show any killing intent was because he wanted to test Chu Mu's swordsmanship. As for why he wanted to test Chu Mu? The reason was simple. Chu Mu had used his swordsmanship to kill Broken Sword Sunsets.
Broken Sword was known as the number one swordsmanship in Monster Shaker City, while Demon Sword was number one. Since Chu Mu could kill Broken Sword Sunsets with his swordsmanship, some people thought that his swordsmanship was comparable to Demon Sword Ghostmist.
The result showed that Chu Mu's swordsmanship was indeed unfathomable. Ghostmist was not confident that he could defeat Chu Mu in swordsmanship. There was also no enmity between them, so the matter was left unsettled.
As soon as he walked out of Monster Shaker City, the dark red ground was even darker than before. It was almost black.
A thick smell of blood floated in the air. Countless cold killing intent lingered on the ground. Even the scorching sun could not help it.
This was because a fierce battle had happened here a few days ago. It was an asura killing field. However, other than the almost black ground, there were no broken limbs to be seen. Everything had been cleaned up by the people of Monster Shaker City. It was hard to imagine the fierce battle that happened a few days ago.
Without using any movement techniques, Chu Mu paced around the battlefield that was once a battlefield. He could feel the cold killing intent condensing in the air. It was as if he could see demon beasts charging towards him and swordsmen waving their swords in a life and death battle with the demon beasts.
These were all illusions. However, those with weak willpower would be affected and go crazy. Moreover, if the killing intent did not dissipate after a long time, something bad might happen.
However, this was not something that Chu Mu should be worried about. He believed that the five Venerables of Monster Shaker City would understand and know how to deal with it.
Walking for ten miles would take some time. When Chu Mu arrived, there were already more than ten black-robed swordsmen gathered here. They were all core disciples of the Moro Sword Sect.
Originally, the Moro Sword Sect had more than 20 core disciples, but some of them had died under the attack of the Demonic Beast Army, leaving only 15.
As soon as Chu Mu arrived, the fifteen black-robed swordsmen's gazes all landed on Chu Mu's body. Every one of them flashed with an incomparably sharp light. Their leader, Fang Hao, strode over.
"Very good. Since you are willing to settle your grudges, it will save us a lot of trouble." Fang Hao's expression was cold and harsh as he directly drew his sword and pointed it at Chu Mu. His footsteps suddenly accelerated as he rapidly approached. The tip of his sword trembled slightly as rays of sword light shot out like a torrential rain.
Chu Mu's figure flashed as he shuttled through the rain, dodging the sword beams. He held the Demon Slaying Sword in his left hand.
Fang Hao's speed was extremely fast. He was like a bolt of lightning tearing through the air. He stabbed out with his Extreme Rank Sword and performed his Ancient Sword Art. The Sword Light exploded like thousands of lightning bolts. Chu Mu could only see lightning bolts in front of his eyes. They passed through the air and touched his skin, causing his skin to feel numb.
"Ten Thousand Lightning Breaking Sky … Senior Brother Fang wants to kill him with one sword attack." The black-robed swordsmen were all shocked. The Ten Thousand Lightning Breaking Sky was the most powerful Earth Realm Ancient Sword Art that Fang Hao had trained. It was extremely terrifying.
Using the Flying Swan Illusionary Steps, Fang Hao's body was constantly changing. It was as if he was standing still, but at the same time, it was also as if he was dashing forward at an extremely fast speed. It was hard to tell.
Every single lightning bolt contained a powerful force that could easily kill a Sword Warrior of the Qi Hai Realm. Hundreds of lightning bolts were densely packed together like pythons coming out of their caves.
Chu Mu squinted his eyes and his pupils contracted. Hundreds of lightning bolts were reflected in his eyes. The trajectory of each lightning bolt was blurry and hard to tell. Every single lightning bolt brought him great pressure, as if it wanted to shatter him into pieces.
Under this pressure, Chu Mu focused all of his attention and cleared away all of his distracting thoughts. His mind went blank and everything around him seemed to disappear. All he could see were the powerful lightning bolts in front of him.
Hyperfocus!
The powerful soul power and the pressure from the outside world made Chu Mu enter the Hyperfocus state again.
The hundreds of blurry lightning bolts suddenly became clear. Chu Mu used his movement art and jumped through the hundreds of lightning bolts, quickly approaching Fang Hao.
In the eyes of the other black-robed swordsmen, Chu Mu did not move at all. He was just waiting for the lightning bolts to break the sky and kill him. But in the next moment, Chu Mu's body disappeared. Only when they looked again did they realize that he had already passed through the lightning bolts and was quickly approaching Fang Hao.
Fang Hao was also shocked. He changed his sword attack and the hundreds of lightning bolts suddenly exploded into countless lightning bolts. The body of the sword seemed to have a suction force. The surrounding lightning bolts were all sucked into the body of the sword. The Heaven and Earth Qi were all attached to the sword as well. In the blink of an eye, the body of the sword was covered with horrifying electric arcs that were jumping crazily, releasing a shocking destructive force.
Chu Mu rushed out of the lightning zone and appeared in front of Fang Hao. Fang Hao's eyes shot out cold electricity. His pupils seemed to have been struck by lightning. He raised his sword and locked on to Chu Mu.
This sword's momentum was not as powerful as the thousands of lightning bolts breaking the sky, but it made Chu Mu's heart palpitate. The power was even more powerful. The protective Sword Qi was directly shattered by the powerful sword pressure. His black hair danced wildly in the wind. The powerful sword pressure made it difficult for Chu Mu to breathe.
In the Hyperfocus state, the trajectory of Fang Hao's sword was clearly perceived by Chu Mu. Its speed, angle, and everything else appeared in Chu Mu's mind. Even the electric arcs jumping crazily on the sword were clearly perceived by Chu Mu.
"Die!"
The sword slashed down, accompanied by Fang Hao's roar.
"You're the one who's going to die." Chu Mu growled. His right hand grabbed the handle of the Demon Slaying Sword with lightning speed and attacked.
Suddenly, the cold Sword Light burst out like an aurora. It was so blinding that Fang Hao couldn't help but squint. Chu Mu's sword slashed horizontally.
This sword was not fast or slow. It was not as fast as Fang Hao's sword. There was no fluctuation of power on the sword. It was like a simple horizontal slash.
A trace of disdain flashed through Fang Hao's heart. A trifling sword like this simply didn't have any power. He had even more confidence that he would be able to hit Chu Mu before Chu Mu's sword could hit him and instakill him.
The sword suddenly sped up. It was completely out of Fang Hao's expectations. The sword wind brought by the Demon Slaying Sword was terrifying. It tore through Fang Hao's protective Sword Qi slightly. Fang Hao's expression changed.
This ordinary sword strike suddenly made him feel great danger. It was as if he was a rabbit a second ago and a lion a second later.
At this time, it was too late to dodge. Fang Hao gritted his teeth and turned the sword slashing towards Chu Mu to the Demon Slaying Sword.
He had a feeling that if he continued to slash at Chu Mu, he would be killed by Chu Mu's sword first.
No matter what, he had to block Chu Mu's sword.
The electric arcs on the sword became denser. Fang Hao's hair stood on end. Thunder burst out from his body like a thunder god.
Slash Iron!
The Demon Slaying Sword collided with Fang Hao's electric sword. In an instant, Fang Hao's face turned pale. The Demon Slaying Sword cut through Fang Hao's top-grade sword like tofu. Its power was reduced, but its speed was still the same.
Chu Mu's figure passed by Fang Hao. The dozen or so black robed swordsmen only heard a cryptic breaking sound. Fang Hao seemed to have become a statue that didn't move. In the next breath, Fang Hao's upper body fell forward, but his lower body was still standing. Fresh blood spurted out from his broken waist.
One sword kill!
"Senior Brother Fang …" The black-robed swordsmen were shocked. They roared in grief and anger. They immediately pulled out their swords and rushed towards Chu Mu: "Avenge Senior Brother Fang!"
Every black-robed swordsmen used their sword skills to attack Chu Mu. Under their swords, Chu Mu's body disappeared and reappeared on the other side. He counterattacked with the Demon Slaying Sword.
In terms of numbers, the black-robed swordsmen were not a small number. In terms of cultivation, they were all at the Qi Hai realm. Two of them were at the Peak of the Qi Hai realm. The rest were all at the Qi Hai realm. But in terms of strength, they were not as good as Fang Hao and Chu Mu.
Using the Flying Swan Illusory Steps, he seemed to be motionless, but in reality, he was swift and light. He shuttled through the dozen or so black-robed swordsmen. His Monster Slaying Sword slashed through the air with a cold sword light, and a slight slashing sound could be heard.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Mu shuttled between the black-robed swordsmen. With his back facing them, he lightly swung the Demon Slaying Sword. Blood spilled out from the tip of the sword as he put the sword back into its scabbard.
The black-robed swordsmen with different postures fell to the ground one by one. There was a dot or a horizontal line on their throats.
"The grudge has been settled." Chu Mu said softly. But he also understood that this was only temporary. The Mo Luo Sword Sect would not give up on their mission to kill him.
Next was the time to reap the rewards. Chu Mu obtained a dozen Space Bracelets.
Fang Hao had two Space Bracelets. One was his, an upper rank one. The other was his reward from the Demon Slaughter Leaderboard. The other fourteen black-robed swordsmen all had mid rank Space Bracelets.
Not to mention the other rewards, just these Space Bracelets were already a great reward. Plus, the Demon Slaughter Leaderboard that Fang Hao had obtained was not bad.
"Let's postpone our battle. When I break through to the Origin Realm, I will come find you." A voice came from afar.
"Anytime." Chu Mu smiled without turning his head. He was not surprised at all. He already knew that Void Butcher was nearby.
Now that he saw Ye Chen kill Fang Hao with one sword attack, Void Butcher knew that he did not have the ability to kill Ye Chen. Since that was the case, why should he torture himself?
Right now, Void Butcher was feeling very depressed.
Originally, in his eyes, Chu Mu was just a talented young swordsman who could pique his interest. That was why he agreed to meet him in the next half of the year. He did not expect that in less than half a year, Chu Mu would grow so fast. He had broken through to the Low Qi Hai Realm, and his strength was even more horrifying than before.
Especially the sword attack that killed Fang Hao. Even Void Butcher felt a chill run down his spine. That sword attack seemed normal, but it was actually extremely dangerous. If he was Fang Hao, he would not be able to handle it either.
After collecting the rewards, Chu Mu did not care about the corpses. Someone would take care of them.
After returning to the Demon Shaking City, Chu Mu went straight to the inn to rest and organize the rewards. Fang Hao did not get the Mind Raising Pellet. Only the top three of the Demon Slaughtering Leaderboard would get it. However, he did get a Mind Training Pellet. The rest of the demon cores and soul stones were not as many as Chu Mu's. Only the Primary Extreme Experience and the three gourds of pellets were the same.
After resting for a day, Chu Mu said goodbye to Han Ye and left the inn with Ou Chengluo. They walked out of the Demon Shaking City.
Then, Chu Mu took out the Beast Seal Pearl and released the Wind-Winged Dragon. It had reached the High Mid Rank, and its body had grown by one third.
"Let's go. We will come back when you are strong enough." Chu Mu said as he grabbed Ou Chengluo's shoulder and jumped onto the back of the Wind-Winged Dragon. The Wind-Winged Dragon flapped its wings and shot into the sky. Ou Chengluo turned around and looked at the Demon Shaking City, as if he wanted to imprint the city in his mind.
Soon, the Wind-Winged Dragon turned into a small black dot and left the Demon Shaking City. Here, only the legend of the Sky Sword remained. (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.)
