Once Chu Mu's words came out, there was an awkward silence.
Even Lu Yuan, who was spewing out his sword intent, paused for a moment. His sword intent was somewhat unstable.
After a long while, everyone finally came to their senses.
"Am I hallucinating?"
"Chu Mu said he also has sword intent? How is that possible! "
"Yeah, sword intent. That's not sword force. Chu Mu wouldn't have been scared silly, right?"
Obviously, no one believed that Chu Mu also had sword intent.
In the entire Eastern Sword Domain, it was already very rare to have three swordsmen who had comprehended sword intent in the Qi Hai realm. It could be said that they were the most outstanding generation in the Eastern Sword Domain in the past hundred years.
No one dared to think about it.
Chen Bu 'Er's eyes, which had been squinting all this time, suddenly widened. A terrifying light shot through the air like cold lightning, leaving a trail of several meters long. On the other hand, Baili Jiang He and the others widened their eyes and opened their mouths wide.
"Chu Mu said … said he also has … sword intent …" Bai Li Jiang He's throat was extremely dry, as if he had walked in the desert for three days and three nights without drinking a drop of water.
The elders and the other nine swordsmen all nodded with difficulty like dumbfounded geese.
"Haha, I'm dying of laughter. He actually said he also has sword intent. What does he think sword intent is …" A swordsman, who was defeated by Chu Mu with one sword and was filled with unwillingness, laughed out loud and ridiculed without restraint.
There were also people with dignified faces.
For example, Ao Xing Yun's face was dignified. Lie Kong Yang, on the other hand, had an interested and somewhat surprised expression.
Faintly, everyone seemed to have heard a rumbling sound, as if a storm was descending and thunder was wreaking havoc.
From Chu Mu's vigorous body, a shocking sharpness and aura gushed out and rushed into the sky. It was like a peerless divine sword that could ignore all obstacles. Zhen Tian moved the ground.
The sword pressure brought by Lu Yuan was instantly shattered and swept away.
"Sword … sword … sword …"
Facts were the best proof. Many people stuttered and pointed at Chu Mu, their fingers trembling. They couldn't say the words "sword intent".
The Sword Hero who mocked Chu Mu almost bit his own tongue. His face was full of shock, and then it turned into dejection. Once the Sword Intent came out, he didn't even have the qualifications to challenge Chu Mu. Not even the slightest bit. They were basically people from two different worlds.
Elder Long's eyes shone with an incomparably intense light, as if it was going to pierce through the void and land on Chu Mu's body. There was a raging storm in his heart that could not be suppressed and almost rushed out of his chest.
"Sword intent … and it's five points …" Elder Long muttered in a voice that only he could hear. His tone was filled with unconcealable shock and astonishment. "No matter if it's Lie Kong Yang, Lu Yuan, or Ao Xing Yun, it's indeed surprising that they could comprehend Sword Intent. But if you think about it carefully, it's not that surprising. After all, their talents are the best in the entire Eastern Sword Region, and they've been Sword Heroes for more than ten years. They're already in their thirties. And this Chu Mu is only twenty-three years old this year. To comprehend Sword Intent at the age of twenty-three … "
Elder Long didn't dare to continue thinking.
It seemed that in the history of the Eastern Sword Region that he knew, there had never been a twenty-three year old Sword Hero who had comprehended Sword Intent in the past three thousand years. The highest record in the past three thousand years was a Sword Hero named Gu Tiancheng who had comprehended Sword Intent at the age of twenty-five. However, it was only one point of Sword Intent, and not the five points that Chu Mu had displayed.
In other words, the time that Chu Mu had to comprehend Sword Intent had to be pushed back. It might be one or two years.
To comprehend Sword Intent at the age of twenty-one or twenty-two, how monstrous was that?
This was no longer something that could be described with just three thousand years. Elder Long was certain that Chu Mu was definitely the first to comprehend Sword Intent in the past five thousand years of the Eastern Sword Region.
A monstrous genius that only appeared once every five thousand years in the Eastern Sword Region!
Elder Long had already decided that once today's battle ended, he would immediately report everything about Chu Mu to the Temple Master. Then, he would report it to the Hundred Saints Alliance in the central main sword region.
Extremely excited, extremely excited. Elder Long's wooden face was filled with excitement.
The Ancient Sword Continent had five major sword regions. The central sword region was naturally where the Hundred Saints Alliance was located, while the four major sword regions each had a Holy City. They were the Holy Cities of the East, West, North, South, and East, West, North, and South Holy Temples.
Where there were people, there would be competition. There was also competition between the five main sword regions. This competition came from various aspects, and one of them was the geniuses in the respective sword regions.
A sword cultivator that could be labeled as a genius by the Hundred Saints Alliance was at least at the level of a peerless genius. Before Chu Mu, Lie Kong Yang was already a peerless genius. His information had long been reported to the Hundred Saints Alliance.
In the past hundred years, although there weren't many peerless geniuses in the Eastern Sword Region, Lie Kong Yang wasn't the only one. It was just that compared to the Southern, Western, and Northern Sword Regions, there were a lot less.
In the past, when the Hundred Saints Alliance gathered, the Eastern Sage Hall would inevitably be ridiculed and even mocked by the Southern, Northern, and Southern Sacred Palaces.
But now, there was a Chu Mu.
Elder Long was certain that Chu Mu wasn't some peerless genius. He was the kind of genius that stood above the peerless geniuses. Such people had a name: Monstrous genius.
A monstrous genius would bring more glory to the Eastern Sage Hall than ten peerless geniuses.
If it wasn't for the fact that the battle for karmic luck was extremely important, Elder Long would have already stopped the battle and immediately returned to the Eastern Sage Hall to meet with the Temple Master.
In an instant, Lie Kong Yang's eyes shone with a terrifying light. Chu Mu, who he didn't put in his eyes from the beginning, had finally aroused some interest in him.
"Let's see if you can defeat Lu Yuan …" Lie Kong Yang muttered to himself. Carefully recalling Chu Mu's information, his interest increased by a bit, and he even had a bit of battle intent. "However, fifty percent sword intent …"
Ao Xingyun's hand gripped the hilt of his sword, trembling slightly. His heart was filled with excitement. "It's actually fifty percent sword intent, two percent higher than mine."
Ao Xingyun's sword intent was thirty percent, Lu Yuan's sword intent was fifty percent, and the sword intent Chu Mu displayed was also fifty percent.
A Sword Grand Master could control the power of the sword force. One percent, ten percent, or even one hundred percent could be controlled freely. However, sword intent couldn't.
Sword intent was much more mysterious and illusory than sword force. It was already inconceivable for a Sword Grand Master to be able to comprehend sword intent. To be able to control the output of sword intent, that was just wishful thinking.
In other words, the amount of sword intent one had comprehended would be the amount of sword intent displayed. It couldn't be strengthened or weakened. Therefore, no one doubted whether Chu Mu still had any hidden sword intent.
Possessing sword intent was already shocking enough, not to mention that it had reached fifty percent.
"I take back what I said just now. You have the qualifications to make me use my full strength," Lu Yuan said excitedly. At the same time, he felt a bit depressed. He had taken back what he said just now, and now he had to take it back again. Even with his temperament, he couldn't help but feel his cheeks heat up.
Soon, the trace of embarrassment and depression in his heart disappeared. Holding the sword in his hand tightly, the sword intent that gushed out seemed to be even sharper. It turned into an invisible sword, ignoring the distance between space and time, and directly slashed towards Chu Mu.
Sword intent was invisible. Not only was its power many times stronger than sword force, it could also cut through the void. It was rumored that those who possessed sword intent would be invulnerable to all evils and wouldn't be affected by inner demons because sword intent could kill them.
Facing the impact of Lu Yuan's sword intent, Chu Mu didn't show any weakness. His sword intent also turned into an invisible sword and slashed towards Lu Yuan.
It was a silent collision, and the killing intent was awe-inspiring. The air in the arena was pushed away, and a formless vacuum was formed under the impact of the sword intent. In the next breath, a large amount of air flowed backwards, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea. There was a loud explosion, and the momentum was horrifying.
Fifty percent sword intent, no difference in strength.
Lu Yuan and Chu Mu's robes fluttered in the wind, as if they were going to be blown away by the wind.
"Take my sword," Lu Yuan growled. The impact of the sword intent was only to pave the way for his sword skill.
Endless golden light shot out from the sword in Lu Yuan's hand, shooting into the sky. The entire arena seemed to have turned into a golden ocean.
Even the audience who were far away could feel the sharpness and sharpness of the golden light that filled the arena. It was as if their bodies were going to be pierced through. It contained one hundred percent of the piercing mentality.
In the blink of an eye, the golden light that filled the arena shrank and turned into sword lights that were half a meter long and as thick as a finger. They hovered around Lu Yuan and coiled around him as if they were protecting his swords.
There were a total of ten golden sword lights.
Lu Yuan held the long sword in his hand with a serious look on his face. The Qi around him was fluctuating violently. It seemed like performing this attack was a burden on him.
Chu Mu's pupils shrank. From the ten golden sword lights, Chu Mu could feel the sharpness and sharpness. Each of the sword lights was formed by the Peak of Qi Hai's gold element sword Qi. Not only did it contain one hundred percent of the piercing mentality, it also contained five percent of the sword intent. It was extremely powerful, and was at least a few times more powerful than the Sky Shattering Sword Attack.
From this, it could be seen that there was a huge difference in power between sword artists who didn't understand the sword intent.
"This attack … could it be the new sword skill that Lu Yuan was talking about?" The Hidden Dragon Sword Palace's Wang Palace Leader thought to himself with his eyes wide open. Lie Kong Yang also showed an interested expression.
They could all feel the power of this sword skill. At the same time, there were only a few people who could see the flaws of this sword skill.
"Chu Mu, I will remember your name. Because you will be the first person to make me perform this new sword skill. At the same time, you will also be the first person to be defeated by this new sword skill." Lu Yuan's voice was extremely low, and it sounded like the clanging of metal. His eyes shone with a golden light that could pierce through steel. "Remember, my new sword technique is the first form of the Heaven Sundering Sword Technique: Ten Blades."
"Ten Blades …" Chu Mu repeated in a low voice. He looked at the ten golden sword lights around Lu Yuan and nodded. This name was very normal, but it was quite appropriate, "If that's the case, then let me see the power of these ten blades."
"As you wish." Lu Yuan's voice was even lower. He couldn't hold on for too long.
As he waved his long sword, it was as if there was an invisible mountain pressing down on his sword. Lu Yuan's movements were very slow and strenuous. In the next moment, as Lu Yuan waved his long sword, a golden sword light broke through the air and shot towards Chu Mu. Immediately after, a second golden sword light shot out.
