"Ten percent … sword intent …" Lie Kong Yang's expression froze as he repeated it in a low voice. His expression immediately changed as his pupils shrank to the size of needles. This was because he remembered that Chu Mu had used five percent sword intent against Lu Yuan and Ao Xing Yun.
In just one night, Chu Mu's sword intent had increased from five percent to ten percent?
No, it was definitely impossible. Lie Kong Yang knew very well how difficult it was to comprehend the sword intent. Especially for sword artists like him who had comprehended the sword intent in the Qi Hai realm, the difficulty was ten times higher.
The reason why Lie Kong Yang was able to comprehend the sword intent and reach ten percent was because of his extreme talent, his three years of continuous hard work, and the last reason was because of the huge amount of luck he had right now.
Before receiving the huge amount of luck, his sword intent had only reached nine percent. After half a month, it had increased again and reached ten percent, making it even more powerful.
It should be known that the luck he had received was even more powerful than Chu Mu's. Even if Chu Mu's comprehension was higher than his, it was already not bad for him to be able to increase his sword intent by one percent in half a month. How could he increase it by five percent in one night?
After eliminating this possibility, Lie Kong Yang could only think of another shocking fact. Chu Mu could control the strength of his sword intent at will.
Lie Kong Yang almost exclaimed that this was impossible. Sword intent was much more powerful than sword aura and was much more illusory. Even most of the True Realm sword artists could not control the strength of their sword intent at will. How could a mere Qi Hai sword artist do it?
This was not only what Lie Kong Yang was thinking, but it was also what countless people present, including Elder Long, the Sword Of Gojoseon, were thinking.
Elder Long looked at Chu Mu, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he was. He had already reported Chu Mu's information, but he did not expect that Chu Mu would exceed his expectations again. Ten percent sword intent!
"Chu Mu, this guy … really surprises me time and time again …" Baili Jiang He gasped for breath. His voice was filled with excitement and depression, and his face was flushed because of excitement.
"Hahahaha … I admit that you have surprised me once again. You are qualified to make me use my true strength." Lie Kong Yang suddenly roared with laughter, and his heroic spirit shot into the sky. He'd completely changed his casual and carefree appearance from before, and his battle intent mixed with Sword Insight shot into the sky, causing the wind and clouds to surge and shake the heavens and the earth.
This was the true Lie Kong Yang, the Burning Heaven Sword Hero!
The previous him was just a disguise because he didn't have a strong enough opponent.
The vast and boundless aura impacted the entire battle arena, but it was blocked by the seal. Because it was too powerful, it caused layers of ripples to spread out on the seal. Just the aura alone was able to achieve such an effect that other Sword Grandmasters would have to use their full strength to display their sword skills. It was extremely shocking.
Chu Mu, who bore the brunt of the attack, did not move at all. Only his black hair and robes fluttered in the wind. There seemed to be a dark golden flame springing up in his eyes, rapidly growing larger and burning fiercely.
Lie Kong Yang's powerful aura finally aroused Chu Mu's raging fighting spirit. His sword intent seemed to have received a boost as it became even stronger and sharper.
The two seemed to have a tacit understanding as they pulled out their swords at the same time.
A dazzling red light shot through the air, condensing into a phoenix phantom that spread its wings and soared high into the sky. The terrifying heat wreaked havoc, and the temperature of the battle arena rose rapidly. In a breath's time, it had already reached over a thousand degrees. Ordinary swordsmen would immediately die from dehydration if they stayed in the arena.
A clear cry seemed to rush out of the Heavenly Duelling Arena and resounded across the horizon. The huge phoenix phantom flapped its wings, causing a flaming storm that covered the sky, and then rushed towards Chu Mu.
Dozens of meters away, Chu Mu could clearly feel the terrifying heat that was about to burn him to ashes. It was like a huge wave that was crazily surging towards him.
Vaguely, Chu Mu seemed to smell something burning.
Burning Phoenix Break!
The incomplete sword skill of the Burning Heaven Sword Hero Lie Kong Yang, and also the one that defeated Lu Yuan. It was a powerful sword skill based on ten percent of Sword Intent.
The heaven and earth seemed to be burned by the phoenix phantom. There was no place that wasn't scorching hot, and it could instantly melt steel.
Then, the sky suddenly darkened, as if it had lost all light sources. Even the huge phoenix phantom was swallowed by the darkness. A dark golden light cut through the darkness, piercing through the sky, and a crescent moon rose.
In an instant, the Moon Slaying Sword and the Burning Phoenix Break collided.
A mournful cry resounded through the Heavenly Duelling Arena. The millions of spectators all covered their ears, and their faces were filled with pain. The sound was too sharp, and it was like a demon's voice piercing through the brain.
The flames on the phoenix's body suddenly expanded, contracted, expanded again, and exploded with a boom. Countless flame shockwaves as thick as an arm wreaked havoc, carrying bits of broken dark gold, instantly covering the entire battle arena.
The battle arena seemed to have turned into a sea of flames.
The phoenix phantom disappeared, and so did the Moon Slaying Sword. The power of the two incomplete sword skills was about the same.
Lie Kong Yang and Chu Mu stood on the battle arena, allowing the flame shockwaves as thick as an arm to hit their bodies. Their feet did not move at all. The flame shockwaves mixed with broken dark gold hit their protective Sword Qi, and tore it apart in a few hits.
They waved their longswords, and sword shadows appeared one after another, shattering countless flames.
Some of the flames hit the seal of the battle arena, and immediately, countless clear ripples appeared. The power of each flame shockwave was above the Stone Shaking Wave Sword.
With a whoosh, Lie Kong Yang broke through the flame shockwaves and rushed towards Chu Mu, thrusting his sword forward.
This sword was too sudden, too fast, and unexpected.
Chu Mu did not even have time to think before his sword was already thrusting towards his face. He instinctively leaned to the side, and the sharp sword wind swept past his ear. Chu Mu felt a tearing pain as if his ear was cut off, and a few strands of hair flew in the air.
Attacking with his sword had long since become an instinct in Chu Mu's countless training sessions. Before Lie Kong Yang could attack a second time, a sword light that seemed to come from nowhere appeared in front of his eyes, sweeping upwards.
He quickly dodged, and only a slight sound could be heard. Lie Kong Yang's sleeve fluttered like a butterfly.
Sword, sword, sword, and sword!
There was no time to think at all. He was almost instinctively thrusting his sword, dodging his sword, and blocking his sword.
Since he could not win with sword skills, Lie Kong Yang chose to fight with sword skills in close combat.
This sword skill was a basic sword skill, and not some ancient sword skill.
Sword Masters like them deeply understood the importance of walking their own path. They had long since abandoned the useless ancient sword skills, and only used the sword skills and basic sword skills that they had comprehended to fight their enemies.
Although it was a basic sword skill, it contained a pure and dense sword Qi and sword intent. The power of each sword was extremely terrifying, and because of the sword intent, the power of each sword was not below the Stone Shaking Wave Sword. Its lethality was shocking.
The protective sword Qi of both sides was useless, as if it was just an illusion, and was instantly torn apart. The armor on their bodies did not even have the time to activate a protective shield, and even if it was activated, it would not be able to block such a sword attack.
The battle between Chu Mu and Lie Kong Yang was several times more dangerous than the battle between Chu Mu and Lu Yuan, because Lie Kong Yang's sword skills were much more profound than Lu Yuan's.
The two of them did not use any movement techniques, and only dodged with their instincts trained from life and death situations. It seemed like there were traces to follow, but in reality, it was impossible to predict where they would move next. Everything was adjusted according to the sword.
Sword Light flashed, and sword shadows flashed. The two swords became extremely blurry. The two figures moved at high speed, but did not leave. Instead, they entangled with each other, and continuously counterattacked as they dodged.
The sounds of splattering rang out continuously. Every sound was extremely sharp, and it spread out of the arena and into the ears of every spectator, causing their scalps to go numb and goosebumps to rise.
The two swords collided, and blazing sparks flew into the sky.
Everyone stared with their eyes wide open, and forgot to breathe. The entire arena was deathly silent.
"So this is his true strength …" Lu Yuan stared with his eyes wide open, and his hands clenched into fists. He felt the blood in his body boil, but it immediately cooled down as if cold water had been poured over it. He felt a little depressed.
With such sword skills, Chu Mu would have been able to completely defeat him in the previous battle.
Chu Mu did not know about Lu Yuan's depression. He gradually recovered, and his powerful soul allowed him to replace his instincts and regain control of his body.
Lie Kong Yang's sword style was very ordinary at the beginning, but it was very fast. Moreover, it was refined and simple, and there were no superfluous movements. Then, it slowly changed, and became a sword technique with extremely terrifying explosive power. With a stab, wind and thunder would explode, accompanied by a terrifyingly high temperature that wreaked havoc in the surroundings. Although the speed was reduced, the momentum was great, and the power was even stronger.
After regaining control of his body, his powerful soul, and his many years of training in sword skills allowed Chu Mu to gradually feel the trajectory of Lie Kong Yang's sword. However, each of Lie Kong Yang's sword gave him a huge pressure, and under this pressure, Chu Mu gradually entered an ethereal state.
It was as if the entire world had disappeared, and there was only a Sword Light in front of him like a bolt of lightning.
Chu Mu suddenly stopped moving, and his entire body seemed to be rooted to the ground. Only the Monster Slaying Sword continued to swing out, stabbing, slicing, chopping, slashing, and lifting. All kinds of basic sword moves were perfectly displayed, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
Lie Kong Yang suddenly realized that he was gradually being suppressed, even though he was about to gain the upper hand in the battle. The speed of his opponent's sword was getting faster and faster, and although the power of the sword did not increase, the increasing speed of the sword was starting to tire him out.
He was slowly beginning to understand how Lu Yuan felt back then.
Lie Kong Yang even realized that he felt like he was in a quagmire, and his sword skills were starting to lose. He wanted to escape, but he realized that every time he showed signs of escaping, Chu Mu's sword would immediately stab at him from an unbelievable angle, making it impossible for him to retreat. He had no choice but to respond.
This feeling was as if he was being forced by Chu Mu to cultivate his sword skills.
Thinking of this, Lie Kong Yang's heart surged with anger for no reason.
As the King of Sword Heroes, he was being forced to become someone else's practice target. What kind of contempt was this? His anger exploded, and a boom sounded from Lie Kong Yang's body, and a terrifying aura exploded … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me.
