"I wonder when I can see you again?" The Iron Sword Gang members, led by Han Ye, stood outside Demon Shaking City. They all looked up at the sky. After a long time, Han Ye retracted his gaze and muttered to himself.
Not long after, a figure soared into the sky from Demon Shaking City. After a slight pause, it turned into a stream of light and flew out of the city like lightning, chasing after the Wind-Winged Devil Dragon.
…
The Wind-Winged Devil Dragon's flying speed was 50% faster than ordinary flying demonic beasts of the same level. It was extremely fast. Of course, it was much slower than the Thunderwing Golden Roc.
Even so, the mid-tier Wind-Winged Devil Dragon was still extremely fast. It had already broken through the speed of sound.
Chu Mu expanded the range of his protective sword aura, enveloping Ou Chengluo. Otherwise, at such a supersonic speed, Ou Chengluo would definitely be killed by the countless streams of air.
"Demon Shaking City, I will definitely return." Ou Chengluo clenched his fists tightly as he muttered to himself.
"Don't think too much. You are currently very weak. It is far from enough to deal with the Red Coats Association." Chu Mu said, "So, suppress your hatred for now and work hard to improve your strength. At the very least, you need to have the strength of a Sword Grand Master before you can take revenge on the Red Coats Association."
"Sword Grand Master …" Ou Chengluo clenched his teeth and clenched his fists even tighter. "I will definitely have the strength of a Sword Grand Master or even stronger."
The conviction that Ou Chengluo had in that instant shocked Chu Mu. It was very strong. With the support of such conviction, Ou Chengluo should be able to reach the Sword Grand Master level.
Of course, reaching the Sword Grand Master level did not mean that one could become a Sword Grand Master. This was because there was a limit to obtaining the title of Sword Grand Master.
Currently, there were only 81 Sword Grand Masters in the entire Great Kun Dynasty. However, there were far more swordsmen with the strength of a Sword Grand Master. There might be hundreds or even thousands of swordsmen. However, when they obtained the strength of a Sword Grand Master, they were already past the age limit. Therefore, they did not have the chance to obtain the title of Sword Grand Master.
"I will give you two choices." Chu Mu said. Ou Chengluo listened quietly. "First, I will bring you back to your clan. However, my clan is only a small clan. It is not strong and has no experts. However, it is suitable for you to live in peace. Second, I'll bring you back to the Sword Sect and let you cultivate there. That will be the starting point for you to enter the Sword Academy and then the Sword Mansion. "
"Brother Chu, did you enter the Sword Academy from the Sword Faction before entering the Sword Mansion?" Ou Chengluo asked.
"Yes," Chu Mu replied.
"Alright, I choose the second option." Ou Chengluo's tone was firm.
"Okay." Chu Mu nodded.
His original plan was to bring Ou Chengluo back to the Chu Clan and let him stay in the Chu Clan for the rest of his life. This was also Old Master Ou's wish.
However, Ou Chengluo had his own thoughts and was very stubborn. Chu Mu was unable to forcefully change his mind. Since that was the case, he had to provide him with a relatively good environment.
"Use this time to comprehend your swordsmanship," Chu Mu said.
"Alright." Ou Chengluo nodded.
The two of them didn't speak again. Chu Mu entered a state of deep thought. He pondered over the experience of this trial, slowly pondering, slowly chewing, and slowly settling down.
Leaving the Great Kun Sword Manor, watching the battle between the Gold Shattering Sword Hero and the Wild Dragon Sword Hero, comprehending one percent of the swordsmanship. Arriving at the Demon Shaker City, entering the Cavern of Demon Shaker Mountain, obtaining treasures, breaking through to the Qi Hai realm, suppressing the Wild Lion Gang, forcing the Red Shirt Association to retreat, the monster army rioting, the life and death battle, comprehending the claw of the Thunder Winged Golden Roc … and now, riding the Wind Winged Demon Dragon and leaving the Demon Shaker City.
Scene after scene was replayed like a movie, clearly visible. Chu Mu felt that he had gained something from it.
After recalling everything, Chu Mu felt that his cultivation level had increased. Now, as long as he had enough sword Qi, he would be able to reach the peak of the Qi Hai realm and quickly break through to the Dacheng realm.
However, the limitations of the Nine Transformations of Sky Origin had already been revealed. It would not be easy for Chu Mu to break through to the Dacheng realm.
This time, Chu Mu left the Demon Shaker City with a very clear itinerary.
The first stop was the Desolate City. First, he would go to the Heaven Dan Pavilion to get the Desolate Dan. Then, he would rush back to the Chu Family. After that, he would go to the Green Edge Sword Sect and settle the matter with the Green Orchid Sword Sect. After that, he would cultivate in peace for a while.
Even though the Wind Winged Demon Dragon was fast, the Demon Shaker City was very far from the Desolate City. It was basically on the opposite side of the Great Kun Sword Manor.
At this moment, the Wind Winged Demon Dragon's body trembled as if it had encountered something terrifying. Then, Chu Mu's body trembled as well. He felt a terrifying murderous intent coming towards him. This murderous intent even made his skin feel numb.
Chu Mu was shocked. He turned around and saw a small black dot quickly approaching him.
Even though they were so far apart, just a strand of murderous intent was able to affect him. It was enough to prove that this small black dot was terrifyingly powerful.
"Speed up, let's go." Chu Mu patted the Wind Winged Demon Dragon. The Wind Winged Demon Dragon also understood that if it did not speed up, it would be very dangerous. Therefore, it flapped its wings with all its might, increasing the frequency and speed by two times. With a swoosh, it flew away.
However, that strand of murderous intent was still locked onto Chu Mu. Waves of numbness came from his skin, like maggots in his bones.
Chu Mu had the Desolate Sky Sword Physique. This murderous intent did not affect him much. However, it affected the Wind Winged Demon Dragon greatly. The Wind Winged Demon Dragon's blood almost froze.
Flapping its wings with all its might, the Wind Winged Demon Dragon's speed increased bit by bit. This was a desperate speed that consumed a lot of energy.
The small black dot gradually grew bigger and closer. Vaguely, they could already see the silhouette of a person.
A small whirlwind blew on the Wind Winged Demon Dragon's wings, making a whooshing sound. Traces of green light spread across the wings. The wings flapping at high speed seemed to create illusions. Its speed doubled again.
The Wind Winged Demon Dragon had already used its secret technique.
Even so, the silhouette of the person chasing behind them became clearer bit by bit. It was getting closer and closer.
Chu Mu could feel that the person was coming for him. A strand of murderous intent had locked onto him. However, Chu Mu was very confused. He did not know why such a powerful swordsman would want to kill him.
This person's strength was definitely beyond the Qi Hai Realm. After analyzing, Chu Mu came to the conclusion that the person was an Origin Realm swordsman. This conclusion shocked Chu Mu.
Right now, he was definitely not a match for an Origin Realm swordsman. A single sword Qi would be enough to kill him.
"This Origin Realm swordsman is too fast. The Wind Winged Demon Dragon could not get rid of him even after using its secret technique. If this continues, only death awaits. Even Ou Chengluo and the Wind Winged Demon Dragon would not be able to escape." Chu Mu thought to himself. He was extremely anxious.
"A Luo, there is someone chasing after us. Just stay on the back of the Wind Winged Demon Dragon. Whether you can survive or not will depend on your luck." Chu Mu said in a low voice. Without waiting for Ou Chengluo's reply, he suddenly jumped up and performed the Sky Traversing Secret Technique.
The sword Qi wings condensed on his back and flapped fiercely. Chu Mu immediately flew in a different direction from the Wind Winged Demon Dragon.
With all his might, his speed was extremely fast. With a swoosh, he was already two hundred meters away. With another flap of his wings, he flew another two hundred meters away, quickly increasing the distance between him and the Wind Winged Demon Dragon.
Chu Mu could feel that the strand of murderous intent was still locked onto him, and it was getting stronger by the second. Indeed, this Origin Realm swordsman's target was him.
After confirming this, Chu Mu immediately performed the second level of the Sky Traversing Secret Technique: Sky Traversing.
The sword Qi wings became even longer and thinner. With a flap, the speed increased by a few times, surpassing the speed of sound by a thousand meters per breath.
After three breaths, Chu Mu had rushed out three thousand meters. However, the Origin Realm swordsman was not left behind. He quickly caught up and a strand of murderous intent was still locked onto Chu Mu.
Sky Traversing … Sky Traversing … Sky Traversing …
After performing the Sky Traversing Secret Technique, Chu Mu was as fast as lightning. However, he was still unable to shake off the figure chasing after him. Instead, as his speed increased, the figure's speed increased as well.
It felt like a cat playing with a mouse.
Anger surged out from his heart and filled his chest. Like a volcano erupting, Chu Mu dove down.
"Since I can't shake him off, then let's fight." Chu Mu was roaring in his heart. Even though he knew that he was no match for this Origin Realm swordsman, even if the opponent only needed one strand of sword Qi to hit him, he still wanted to fight.
The spirit of a swordsman was to cut through all obstacles and go against the current. He would rather break than surrender.
Even if he were to die, he would fight back and injure the opponent. As for killing the opponent, that was an extravagant hope.
As if sensing Chu Mu's determination, the Origin Realm swordsman also dove down and chased after him.
After landing, Chu Mu pulled out the Monster Slaying Sword and looked up. After a few breaths, the figure also landed and stopped about ten meters above the ground. It was a hundred meters away from Chu Mu, staring down at Chu Mu from above.
It was a skinny and short old man who looked to be in his seventies or eighties. His skin was dark and his face was full of wrinkles. His hair was grey and messy, and his nose was like an eagle's beak. His eyes were sunken and gloomy, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike.
His gaze landed on Chu Mu, which immediately made Chu Mu's muscles tense up. A very bad feeling spread throughout his body.
From the opponent's aura, Chu Mu was finally able to confirm that he was an Origin Realm swordsman.
"May I ask what kind of advice the supreme has for me?" Chu Mu focused his mind and was extremely alert. He increased the speed of the Heavenly Yuan Sword Qi and his sword force was ready to erupt like a volcano. He made all kinds of preparations as he asked.
"At such a young age, you are already at the Small Success of the Qi Hai Realm. Your sword force has also reached the Completion stage. Your strength is even above most of the swordsmen at the Completion stage of the Qi Hai Realm. You already have the qualifications to challenge for the title of Sword Hero." The gloomy skinny old man didn't reply. His eyes flickered as if he was examining his prey. His voice was sharp like fingernails scratching glass, causing goosebumps to rise all over Chu Mu's body, "Originally, you should have had a boundless future. Of all the things you shouldn't have done, you shouldn't have killed my disciple."
"Who is the supreme's beloved disciple?" Chu Mu resisted the goosebumps all over his body and asked again.
"Xie Yang." The skinny old man's voice was still as terrifying as before. His eyes turned violent. "Since you killed my disciple, I will avenge him. But don't worry, I won't kill you that easily. I will let you have a taste of my, the Venerable Yin Snake's, methods and let you die in endless pain."
In his eyes, Chu Mu was only a genius, a genius that he could crush with one hand. There was no need to treat him with caution. It was like a normal person facing an ant.
Chu Mu took a deep breath and felt suffocated. His left hand gripped the dark red dagger tightly. This was his only chance to fight back. (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.)
