The super dark horse Chu Mu's reputation was extremely resounding. Everyone in the East Saint City knew about him.
This was because the Million Swordsmen who were watching the Battle of Providence would spread the news of what they had seen every day after they left the Heaven-Extinguishing Sword Arena. There were even people who were in charge of compiling the daily battle reports, which recorded the details of every single match.
A battle report cost a thousand low-grade spiritual stones. This price was rather high, but there were many people who wanted to buy it. Every day, the supply could not meet the demand.
Since they could not see it with their own eyes, they could only see the situation from the battle reports. It was better than not knowing anything.
Some merchants in the East Saint City had also opened bets for four people — Lie Kong Yang, Lu Yuan, Ao Xing Yun, and Chu Mu.
Chu Mu's odds were rather high. It was a pity that he was in the East Saint Palace and did not know about it. Otherwise, he would have made a fortune by betting on himself.
On the thirteenth day, the Battle of Providence started again.
One battle after another, each with their own victory and defeat. Chu Mu once again appeared on the battle arena.
His opponent was a female swordsman from the Bright Moon Sword Mansion. Her name was Yan Yurou, and she was known as the Extreme Ice Sword Hero. She was very beautiful, but her expression was very cold. Her eyes were even colder. She constantly emitted a cold aura, as if she was a block of ice.
She was dressed in a moon-white long robe with traces of icy blue. She looked like a glacier under the sunlight, and there was a soul-stirring beauty to her.
The Extreme Ice Sword Hero, Yan Yurou, had won twelve matches and lost eleven. She had lost one match, and that match was under the sword of Lu Yuan.
The strength of the Extreme Ice Sword Hero was obvious to all, and Chu Mu was equally strong. However, none of the opponents he had faced so far could compare to the Extreme Ice Sword Hero.
"Who do you think will win, the Zhen Tian Sword Hero or the Extreme Ice Sword Hero?"
"I support the Extreme Ice Sword Hero."
"We will only know the outcome after the battle."
"I heard that the Extreme Ice Sword Hero possesses the rare Extreme Ice Sword Body. In my opinion, Chu Mu's winning streak will be broken this time."
"The Extreme Ice Sword Body is an Innate Sword Body that is one level higher than the Ice Spirit Sword Body. It can easily comprehend the concept of ice and raise it to perfection in the shortest amount of time. Moreover, it can increase the power of the concept of ice by 20%, which is one level higher than the Ice Spirit Sword Body."
"Under the Extreme Ice Sword Physique, one can unleash one hundred and twenty percent of the Ice Concept's power. How terrifying."
"Her Extreme Ice Sword Technique is also very powerful."
The Concept of Ice was originally stronger than the Concept of Water. The power of the 100% Concept of Ice was probably close to the 110% Concept of Water. If it was increased by another 20%, its power would be close to the 130% Concept of Water.
Thinking of this, Chu Mu felt a little excited.
In terms of Sword Qi cultivation, he had just broken through to the Qi Hai Realm last night. Dacheng, on the other hand, had been at the peak of the Qi Hai Realm for a few years and had accumulated a lot of experience. In terms of Sword Qi purity, Chu Mu was not inferior to his opponent at all. This was because the Sword Qi Art that he cultivated was of the Earth Level.
The higher the level of the Sword Qi Art, the more precious it was. Among the hundred Sword Heroes participating in the Battle of Fortune, other than Chu Mu, the highest level Sword Qi Art was Lie Kong Yang's. It was of the Earth Level Upper Level.
The higher the level of the Sword Qi Art, the thicker and purer the Sword Qi cultivated.
Therefore, in terms of sword aura, Chu Mu's Desolate Sky Sword Aura was only slightly inferior to Yan Yurou's in terms of density and purity. However, the opponent had the Extreme Ice Sword Body. Other than the 20% increase in ice concept, it also had a clear increase in ice type sword aura.
As Elder Long announced the start of the battle, Yan Yurou slashed out with her sword.
Her Extreme Rank Sword was the Ice Soul Sword. It looked like it was made out of ice and was emitting a shockingly cold Qi. As she slashed out with her sword, a ray of ice shot towards Chu Mu.
Extreme Ice, Ice Break!
As the cold Qi descended, the air was filled with countless ice shards. Chu Mu could clearly feel the shocking cold Qi rolling towards him, as if it was going to freeze him. The entire arena was covered by the cold Qi, as if it had suddenly entered a cold winter.
Yan Yurou's sword attack looked simple, but it actually contained the Qi of heaven and earth. Her Ice Sword Qi and Concept of Ice had been enhanced by the Extreme Ice Sword Body, making it extremely powerful.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, wanting to see how Chu Mu would deal with it.
Would he use the same method as before to defeat his opponent with one sword attack?
In the previous twelve battles, Chu Mu did not try to dodge at all. Instead, he faced his opponent's Sword Skill head-on and defeated his opponent with one sword attack.
Now, facing Yan Yurou's Sword Skill, what would Chu Mu do?
After slashing out her sword attack, Yan Yurou's body flashed. Her feet seemed to be skating on ice, but her speed was unbelievably fast. In the blink of an eye, she appeared behind Chu Mu and stabbed out again.
Extreme Ice, Ice Thorn!
With a simple slide, Yan Yurou's surroundings immediately changed. A layer of frost covered the ground of the arena. The cold Qi was biting cold, and a world of ice and snow was descending.
To Yan Yurou, this kind of environment was the most beneficial for her. To the others, it was disadvantageous. Their strength would be limited, and in this kind of situation, Yan Yurou's chances of winning would be higher.
The spectators could also see this, and could not help but worry for Chu Mu. Only Lie Kong Yang, Lu Yuan, and Ao Xing Yun did not have any thoughts about this.
Indeed, there was a connection between the environment and strength. However, when the difference in strength was too big, no matter how good the environment was, it would only give one a slight advantage. In the end, one would still lose to absolute strength.
Of course, their thoughts were directed at themselves. In their opinion, this was the end for Chu Mu.
In front of him, there was a powerful blast of ice with astonishing power. Behind him, there was a sword stabbing out. This sword was wrapped in cold Qi and made a whimpering sound. The sword was condensed with 100% ice concept, and the entire sword seemed to be one size bigger. The power was very condensed and terrifying.
Just as the sword stabbed out, Chu Mu felt a layer of ice spread over his protective sword Qi. It was as if it was about to be broken, and it made a creaking sound.
If it was the Tianyuan Sword Qi of the past, it would have already been broken. However, the protective sword Qi formed by the Tianyuan Sword Qi was very strong, and it also had corrosive properties. When Yan Yurou's sword stabbed out, a large part of the cold Qi was corroded by the Tianyuan Sword Qi. The remaining small part only covered the surface.
Yan Yurou's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise. The speed of her sword suddenly increased by 30%, and its power also increased by 30%.
How would Chu Mu deal with a pincer attack from the front and back?
Everyone's attention was lifted. This was a very important scene.
Other than Chen Bu 'er, everyone from the Great Kun Sword Mansion stood up and subconsciously clenched their fists.
Even though Chu Mu had won 12 matches in a row, and this result was much better than any tournament in the past 60 years, they still felt very happy. However, at this moment, they still hoped that Chu Mu could continue to win.
Perhaps it was an extravagant hope, but it was the deepest expectation in their hearts.
Yan Yurou made full use of her advantage and raised her speed to the extreme. With a pincer attack from the front and back, Chu Mu's situation was critical.
Yan Yurou's fighting style also exceeded Chu Mu's expectations, but it was not enough to shock Chu Mu.
This was the first time Chu Mu used the Flying Swan Illusory Steps on the battle arena.
A strange scene appeared. In everyone's eyes, Chu Mu seemed to be retreating, and the angle of Yan Yurou's sword also adjusted. It was as though she had locked onto Chu Mu.
In the next moment, everyone realized that Chu Mu was advancing. He appeared on the other side of Yan Yurou. When he was a few meters away, he unsheathed his sword and slashed down. A dark golden waning moon that was more than ten meters long appeared again.
Whether it was the world of ice and snow or the daytime, all the light disappeared. Only darkness enveloped the area. A dark golden waning moon was extremely resplendent. It instantly broke through the darkness and slashed towards Yan Yurou.
Yan Yurou's expression, which was like a ten-thousand-year-old iceberg, suddenly changed. Not only did the ice that she slashed out not attack Chu Mu, but it was also bombarding her. Her second sword technique was aimed at the other side, where the illusion was.
More importantly, Chu Mu's counterattack had already arrived. Yan Yurou had already seen the power of the dark golden waning moon twelve times.
It was because she did not want to face Chu Mu's sword technique head-on that Yan Yurou had come up with this strategy. She wanted to make full use of her advantage and freeze the ground, which would increase her speed to the extreme. At the same time, she wanted to cover the surroundings with cold air, which would affect Chu Mu's agility to a certain extent.
Strengthening herself and weakening her opponent was a very correct strategy. At the same time, it was also unexpected. Yan Yurou was sure that she had an eighty percent chance of winning.
Unfortunately, she had underestimated Chu Mu. Everyone had underestimated Chu Mu.
The second level of the Flying Swan Illusory Steps was more than ten times more exquisite than the first level.
Yan Yurou reacted quickly. Her feet slid on the ice surface to the side. The ice that was bombarding her swept past her side, making her black hair flutter. She tried her best to pull back her sword. The dark golden waning moon was not far away from her. Unless she could increase her speed by two times, she would not be able to dodge it.
She drew a circle in front of her with her sword. The ice sword Qi and the ice mentality mixed together. A diamond-shaped circular mirror appeared in front of her.
Extreme Snow – Cold Ice Mirror!
The Cold Ice Mirror was the only defensive sword move of Yan Yurou's Extreme Snow Sword Arts. Its defensive power was very strong.
With a boom, the Stone Shaking Wave Sword slashed onto the Cold Ice Mirror. The Cold Ice Mirror instantly shook and exploded. It turned into countless ice shards that shot out in all directions. The powerful impact crashed onto Yan Yurou's body, shattering her protective sword Qi and sending her flying back.
Yan Yurou was very powerful. She did not crash into the seal or fall down. However, her face was pale and there was blood at the corner of her mouth. That sword attack had already damaged her organs. Following that, Yan Yurou's expression changed. She felt that there was a strange sword Qi inside her body that was constantly corroding and destroying. She had to use her ice sword Qi to suppress it.
The scene suddenly became silent. Everyone stared with their eyes wide open, speechless.
"You win," Yan Yurou said after a long while. Her voice was very cold, almost freezing everyone.
Following her words, a fate dragon rushed out of Chu Mu's body and rushed towards Yan Yurou. When it came back, it was already more than ten meters long. (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.)
