One of the three prefectures adjacent to the Thousand River Prefecture was the West City Prefecture. The Cheng Clan was the number one family in the West City Prefecture.
"Yuanchuan, this is your mistake. According to the Cheng Clan's rules, you should be punished with ten thousand swords piercing through your body. However, you have been loyal to the clan for many years. Even if you have not made any contributions, you have worked hard. I will make an exception and give you a chance to capture that little bastard alive and redeem yourself." The Cheng Clan's Master was furious. A terrifying sword pressure swept out and filled the surroundings. Everything seemed to be frozen. Even the air was about to turn into nothingness.
The middle-aged Sword Guard kneeling below was pale. Cold sweat dripped down from his forehead. He was extremely terrified. Yuanji Dacheng's cultivation base did not even have a chance to resist under such sword pressure. Just this sword pressure alone was enough to suffocate him to death.
"Go." The Cheng Clan's Master withdrew that terrifying sword pressure and said coldly.
"Yes, Master. I swear on my life that I will definitely capture that damned little bastard alive and let the young master get rid of his inner demon." Cheng Yuanchuan said. He stood up, turned around, and strode away.
…
"Damned thing. I didn't expect you to dare to enter the Central Main Sword Region. You even dared to challenge others along the way. Just as well. It saves me the trouble of investigating your whereabouts." Cheng Yuanchuan soared into the sky and quickly left the Cheng Clan. He was secretly furious. His eyes flickered with killing intent.
He was the bodyguard of the Wild Wave Sword Hero, Cheng Tianlan. Cheng Tianlan was too arrogant. In the end, she was defeated by Chu Mu in one strike at the East Sword Region's Tong Ming River Harbor, leaving behind an inner demon. Originally, he wanted to kill Chu Mu directly and help Cheng Tianlan get rid of the inner demon. However, he was stopped by the six Primary Realm swordsmen from the East Sword Region and lost his chance.
After bringing Cheng Tianlan back to the Cheng Clan, he would definitely be punished. If it wasn't for his loyalty over the years, he would have been executed by the Cheng Clan for negligence of duty.
Now, he had a chance to redeem himself by capturing Chu Mu alive.
If possible, Cheng Yuanchuan wanted to kill Chu Mu even more. However, he dared not disobey the orders of the family head. He wanted to capture Chu Mu alive and bring him back to the Cheng family, severely injure him, and then let the young master, Cheng Tianlan, kill him with his own hands. This way, the devil in the young master's heart could be removed.
The reason why they didn't bring anyone else was because both the head of the Cheng Clan and Cheng Yuanchuan believed that no matter how powerful a Sword Hero was, he would not be a match for a Swordsman of the Origin Realm like Dacheng. He would be killed in one strike.
Yuanji Dacheng's speed was extremely fast. In addition to Cheng Yuanchuan's hatred for Chu Mu, he couldn't wait to appear in front of Chu Mu, injure him severely, and bring him back to the Cheng family to complete his mission and make up for his mistakes.
…
"Number one in the Qianchuan Prefecture …" Chu Mu had a faint smile on his face. His body moved and leaped, traversing through the forest. His speed was extremely fast, like a flash of light, traveling a hundred meters in an instant.
Just as the slight sound of the wind breaking was heard, the moon-white figure had already appeared more than a hundred meters away. He quickly disappeared, leaving behind only wisps of wind.
After defeating Leng Wufeng in the Tianhe County, Chu Mu stepped into the next county and continued to challenge.
Following the challenges, his reputation grew more and more resounding. In fact, the moment Chu Mu entered the next county, before he even issued a challenge, someone immediately issued a challenge to him. The result was naturally that person being defeated by Chu Mu in one strike.
Until now, Chu Mu had fought dozens of battles. In every battle, he would first engage in a fierce battle with his opponent's sword techniques. He would clearly see his opponent's characteristics, absorb their strengths, and then defeat his opponent with one strike using less energy.
The current Chu Mu was like a huge sponge, constantly absorbing everything that he could absorb and then quickly transforming it into his own ability. This allowed him to constantly improve and improve in all aspects.
Sword Techniques … Sword Skills …
Compared to the current Chu Mu before entering the Central Main Sword Region, there was an obvious difference in his strength.
Even if he used the same amount of strength, Chu Mu was confident that he could defeat his previous self within ten strikes. His improvement was very obvious.
Half a day ago, Chu Mu had defeated the number one Qi Hai warrior in the Qianchuan Prefecture. This person was indeed very powerful. He had actually comprehended 19% of the sword intent, and had inherited the Mountain Sword Dao. Every strike of his contained the power of the mountains, and was extremely powerful. When he waved his sword, the air around him would be suppressed, as if a mountain was descending.
When the swordsmen who were not as strong as him faced his sword, they would feel like they were being suppressed, unable to move their limbs, and would be easily defeated.
But Chu Mu was stronger than him.
In the intense battle of sword techniques, Chu Mu fully understood the essence of Mountain Sword Dao. He could feel the pressure of mountains pressing down on him from all directions. Illusions of mountains condensed around him, as if they were about to crush his body.
The power of the Sky Desolate Sword Body was displayed once again. Chu Mu's sword techniques actually had a breakthrough under this pressure, and he had also absorbed a trace of the essence, making his sword techniques even more powerful.
In the end, he still used the Moon Slashing Blade to defeat his opponent's ultimate move. He did not kill his opponent, because this was a challenge, not a battle to the death.
After defeating his opponent, the number one Qi Hai warrior in the Qianchuan Prefecture was naturally Chu Mu. His reputation was even greater, and in a short period of time, almost all the swordsmen in the Qianchuan Prefecture knew of his existence.
Thus, many families sent out people in an attempt to invite Chu Mu to become their family's guest.
Passing through the forest, Chu Mu officially left the Qianchuan Prefecture and entered the Xicheng Prefecture.
The Pingyang Prefecture belonged to the Xicheng Prefecture, and Chu Mu's first destination was the Li Family of the Pingyang Prefecture.
First, he had to complete the task entrusted to him by the Headmaster of the Sword Mansion, Li Daoyuan. Then, he continued to head west towards the Heavenly Sword Pagoda.
After running madly all the way into the Xicheng Prefecture, Chu Mu stopped to rest for a moment.
Suddenly, he raised his head to look at the sky. His brows furrowed slightly, and he vaguely felt uneasy.
After three breaths, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the sky. It rapidly approached, and in the blink of an eye, a blurry figure appeared. In the next breath, the blurry figure became clear, and in the next breath, Chu Mu could already see his opponent's face.
"It's him …" Slightly startled, Chu Mu's face became serious, but he did not leave.
This was because Chu Mu knew that with his speed, it was impossible for him to escape from an Origin Realm swordsman Dacheng. The Origin Dacheng swordsman's speed was too fast. Even if he did not use any secret techniques to increase his speed, he was still ten times faster than Chu Mu.
Taking a deep breath, Chu Mu felt the Meteor Sword Energy that was emitting a terrifying wave in his spiritual world. Perhaps this time, he had no choice but to use this Meteor Sword Energy.
He really did not know how much of it would be consumed after using it.
A majestic aura that was as heavy as a mountain descended from the sky, crushing down. The surrounding rocks and plants creaked as if they could not bear the weight. Chu Mu only felt this terrifying aura crushing down on his body. His blood almost stopped flowing, and his bones felt like they were about to shatter.
Clenching his teeth, his body stood straight, unyielding. The ground beneath his feet shattered, and his feet sank into the ground.
In a flash, Cheng Yuanchuan appeared a few dozen meters above Chu Mu. He looked down at Chu Mu with a mocking expression.
"You actually did not escape. It seems like you know your place. You know that with your strength, you have no chance of escaping from me," Cheng Yuanchuan said with a cold face. Cheng Yuanchuan's face was gloomy as he spoke. Seeing Chu Mu, he remembered the punishment he almost had to endure. His hair stood on end and his anger burned high.
"Against you, I don't need to escape." Chu Mu coldly replied as he resisted the other party's aura. He felt his bones and muscles trembling.
With the Meteor Sword Energy as his trump card, Chu Mu was naturally not afraid of the other party. Moreover, maybe the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon in the dark red sword hanging around his neck would not just stand by and watch. After all, he needed Chu Mu to send it back to the Asura Sword Sect.
However, Chu Mu was not willing to let others interfere in matters that could be solved by himself.
Moreover, Chu Mu always had a thought in his heart, and that was to test the power of the Meteor Sword Energy. Ever since he obtained the Meteor Sword Energy, he was very curious. He wanted to see how powerful the Meteor Sword Energy was.
However, Chu Mu was not stupid enough to waste the power of the Meteor Sword Energy. But in this situation, he had no choice but to use it. It also satisfied the curiosity in his heart.
"Is that so? You are very confident, and I am also willing to believe that once you break through to the Origin Realm, I might not be your opponent. Unfortunately, you are just an ant in my eyes right now. No matter how strong you are, you are still an ant in the end. You are a weak existence that I can crush with a single finger. "Cheng Yuanchuan's face was a little ferocious as he stretched out his finger and twisted it.
Chu Mu did not answer. He focused his mind and began to mobilize the Meteor Sword Energy in his spiritual world.
Fortunately, the mobilization of the Meteor Sword Energy only required one to concentrate. Otherwise, he would not be able to fight back under the pressure of the other party's sword.
The Meteor Sword Energy that contained a terrifying power trembled. Just as it was about to release an earth-shattering power.
"Let me deal with him." A faint voice sounded in Chu Mu's ears.
Immediately, before Chu Mu could react, the dark red sword under his robe flew out automatically. With a flash of light, a shadow emerged from the sword and condensed above.
With a stretch of his hand, the dark red sword enlarged and fell into his hand. The Shura Sword Of Gojoseon reappeared.
Cheng Yuanchuan's eyes widened as he looked at the Shura Sword Of Gojoseon that suddenly appeared. The huge sword pressure instantly disappeared without a trace, like smoke blown away by the wind. It could no longer exert any pressure on Chu Mu.
"You … You … Who … Who … are you …" Cheng Yuanchuan said with difficulty. From the Shura Sword Of Gojoseon, he felt something that made his hair stand on end. It was unimaginable. Even when he faced the head of the Cheng family, he did not have such a terrifying feeling.
Could it be that the person who suddenly appeared in front of him was an existence even stronger than the head of the Cheng family?
Unfortunately, the Shura Sword Of Gojoseon did not say a word. He did not even look at Cheng Yuanchuan. He just waved his sword casually.
With that sword, the sky turned blood-red. This was the last color that Cheng Yuanchuan saw in this world.
With a splat, Cheng Yuanchuan was cut in half by the Shura Sword Of Gojoseon. The two halves of his body fell to the left and right. Blood poured down like a torrential rain, reflecting the sky in Chu Mu's eyes … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
