(Last two hours of the month. Hurry up and vote! Hahahaha!)
His surroundings suddenly lit up. Chu Mu found himself in a sealed space. This space was very strange. It didn't seem big, but it also seemed to be infinitely big.
To Chu Mu's surprise, a figure seemed to walk out of nothingness. It didn't have the slightest bit of aura and appeared in front of Chu Mu.
He was expressionless. His long hair was tied behind his head, and he wore a long white robe. Chu Mu felt that his appearance was familiar, as though he had seen him somewhere before. However, Chu Mu was sure that he had never seen this person before.
There was an ear-piercing clang. A Sword Light descended like a bolt of lightning from the heavens. The sharp killing intent attacked Chu Mu's entire body.
Chu Mu had been on high alert ever since he entered the Heavenly Sword Pagoda. When he saw the other party directly attack, his expression didn't change. He wasn't surprised at all. He unsheathed the Demon Slaying Sword and counterattacked.
In an instant, the two swords crossed. Chu Mu crossed with his opponent and stood still with his back to his back.
After three breaths, Chu Mu's virtual opponent exploded. In the previous exchange of swords, Chu Mu's sword had pierced his throat.
Under normal circumstances, no matter how powerful a swordsman was, once his throat was pierced, he would die. The virtual character created by the spirit of the Sword Pagoda also had this feature.
The moment the virtual swordsman disappeared, a strand of Chu Mu's hair fell by his ear.
In that instant, it was extremely dangerous. If there had been a slight deviation, the one whose throat was pierced wouldn't have been the virtual swordsman, but Chu Mu.
Of course, Chu Mu wouldn't really die. He would only be sent out of the Heavenly Sword Pagoda by the spirit of the Sword Pagoda.
After a breath of time, Chu Mu felt his body change slightly, and he recovered to his peak state. He knew that he had entered the second level of the Heavenly Sword Tower. However, the second level didn't seem to be any different from the first level.
Immediately after, two figures seemed to walk out of nothingness and appeared in front of Chu Mu. Both of them were wearing white robes and were similarly expressionless. Their appearances seemed to be the same, but upon closer inspection, they were different. After looking at them, Chu Mu realized that he had already forgotten what his opponent on the first level looked like. He had no impression of him at all.
The two virtual swordsmen drew their swords and attacked at the same time, one stabbing and the other slashing. Their killing intent was incomparably sharp, and they attacked from the left and right sides of Chu Mu. They grasped the perfect timing, and it was as if the two of them were telepathically connected, working together perfectly.
Under the cooperation of these two powerful opponents, Chu Mu couldn't kill them in one strike like before, because their combined power was significantly enhanced.
When he drew his sword, the Sword Light was sharp, and the sword shadow was cold. The Demon Slaying Sword broke apart the two swords and slashed out like a line between the sea and the sky, cutting towards the throats of the two virtual swordsmen.
Kill!
However, the swordsmanship of these two virtual swordsmen was extraordinary. Every strike contained the same powerful sword intent and terrifying mutated intent realm as Chu Mu.
After avoiding Chu Mu's killing sword, the two of them moved quickly, stabbing and slashing their swords at Chu Mu. Their swords were unusually sharp, and their killing intent was awe-inspiring.
Chu Mu used the Flying Swan Illusory Steps to move around. The three figures moved unpredictably like butterflies among flowers. For a moment, both sides couldn't do anything to each other.
Chu Mu didn't obtain any sword dao inheritance, so his opponents didn't have any sword dao inheritance either. However, Chu Mu's strength was extremely strong. Even swordsmen who had obtained sword dao inheritance might not be his match. Naturally, his opponents were also very strong.
Of course, the strength of these virtual swordsmen was fixed. Their combat talent was also fixed. They surpassed ordinary swordsmen, but they were definitely not as good as swordsmen like Chu Mu.
Otherwise, if everything was on the same level, then no matter which swordsmen, even if they could pass the first level, it would be difficult for them to pass the third level, let alone the third level. As for the 30th or 31st level, it was completely wishful thinking.
Although they were not as good as Chu Mu, they were very close. At least in terms of Sword Qi cultivation, the purity of Sword Qi, the power of intent realm, and the strength of sword intent, they were not inferior to Chu Mu.
If he wanted to defeat his opponents, he could only rely on his well-tempered swordsmanship and extraordinary combat talent.
Chu Mu discovered that his opponent's swordsmanship was extremely high. Compared to him, his opponent's swordsmanship was only slightly weaker. Moreover, his opponent's footwork was also very advanced. It was almost no weaker than the Flying Swan Illusory Steps.
He was excited to see his opponent and started to move around. He was not in a hurry to kill his opponent.
No wonder Xiao Qianfeng wanted him to challenge the Heavenly Sword Tower. An opponent like this could completely increase his overall strength.
It should be known that the current Chu Mu, other than increasing his cultivation and sword intent, could only increase his strength through swordsmanship and footwork. Moreover, every bit of improvement was extremely difficult, unless he broke through the Qi Hai realm and reached the Ninth Transformation realm.
After 15 minutes, Chu Mu had completely grasped the swordsmanship and footwork of these two virtual swordsmen. Although they were also using basic swordsmanship, they each had their own unique characteristics.
Of course, basic swordsmanship was only the most basic thing. When a powerful swordsman cultivated his basic swordsmanship to a certain level, he would make some changes according to his own characteristics, making the basic swordsmanship more suitable for him to unleash his power.
Different powerful swordsman's basic swordsmanship had their own unique characteristics. Each of them had their own advantages and advantages. The unique characteristic of Chu Mu's swordsmanship was that it could accommodate everything. It could absorb all the advantages and remove all the disadvantages, allowing his own swordsmanship to improve bit by bit and the power of his swordsmanship to increase bit by bit.
Seizing an opportunity, Chu Mu's sword slashed across the throat of one of the virtual swordsman. Then, his figure leaped back like a swallow and his sword slashed across the neck of the other virtual swordsman, severing it.
Since Chu Mu entered the Heavenly Sword Tower, many people had been paying attention to him. Although they did not know Chu Mu, they had already seen part of the strength that Chu Mu displayed last night. That strength was enough to place him in the top ten of the Heavenly Sword Ranking.
"Look, that person has already reached the third level."
"What's so strange about reaching the third level? With the sword intent that he displayed at 21%, I reckon that reaching the 28th level should not be a problem."
"That may be the case, but it's not necessarily true. Some people have powerful sword intent but ordinary battle talent."
"That's true. There are differences between geniuses. Some geniuses are suited for cultivation, but their perception and combat talent are average. Some geniuses have average cultivation talent, but their perception and combat talent are extraordinary. Some geniuses have average cultivation talent, but their perception and combat talent are extraordinary. Some geniuses have average cultivation talent and perception, but their combat talent is astonishing."
"That's right. There are too few geniuses who have both. And perfect geniuses who have extraordinary cultivation talent and astonishing comprehension and battle talent are even rarer. At least, I have never heard of such a person."
"Jue Wudao and Yan Jiuyou barely qualify. I wonder if this Zong Qingtian is such a perfect genius."
After about 15 minutes, Chu Mu reached the fourth level.
There was a special feature of the Heavenly Sword Tower. When someone challenged the tower, no one else could enter, unless the challenger left the Heavenly Sword Tower.
Of course, because the Heavenly Sword Tower had 99 levels and was divided into 33 levels, there could be a Sword Master, a Sword Venerable, and the Sword Of Gojoseon challenging the tower at the same time.
However, compared to Sword Master level swordsmen, Sword Venerable level swordsmen and Sword Of Gojoseon level swordsmen were even rarer. This was because it was ten times or a hundred times more difficult for them to improve their strength compared to Sword Master level swordsmen.
Therefore, it was very rare for a Sword Venerable to challenge a Sword Pagoda, and it was even rarer for a Sword King to challenge a Sword Pagoda. Usually, it would attract a large number of swordsmen to watch, and it would become a popular topic for a long time.
"Isn't this person challenging the tower too slow?"
"Yes. I saw that the top ten swordsmen challenging the tower were much faster than this person in the first ten levels."
"It seems that he is a genius with good comprehension, but his combat talent is average. Otherwise, with such a powerful sword intent, he would be able to challenge the tower very quickly. He might have already reached the tenth level or above. How could he still be lingering on the fifth level?"
That's right. Chu Mu had reached the fifth level, and five powerful virtual swordsmen were besieging him.
These five virtual swordsmen had different sword styles. One was sharp, one was full of vitality, one was continuous, one was explosive and fierce, and one was steady and heavy. They corresponded to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The swords they used were also unique. The five of them worked together and stood in five positions, forming the five elements.
Chu Mu was trapped in the center. His figure changed, and the Flying Swan Illusory Steps made him invincible.
Chu Mu dealt with them while observing their swordsmanship, footwork, and so on, absorbing the essence. He was glad that although the five virtual swordsmen worked together and their power increased greatly, they didn't use the sword formation.
Chu Mu estimated that if these five swordsmen used the Five Elements Sword Formation, Chu Mu wouldn't be a match for them.
After all, no matter how good their cooperation was, it couldn't be compared to the sword formation. The sword formation was a kind of technique that followed the heaven and earth. It was mysterious and profound.
Under the siege of the five powerful virtual swordsmen, Chu Mu dealt with them while counterattacking. When he felt that it was about time, he started to use his killer move.
Chu Mu didn't use the incomplete Moon-Slashing Sword Technique because he knew that once he used the sword technique, his opponents would also use the same sword technique. The number of times he used the sword technique would be the same as the number of chances his opponents would have to use the sword technique. Moreover, it was hard to say when they would use the sword technique. These virtual swordsmen's combat talent wasn't bad, and they could accurately grasp the timing.
Therefore, every swordsman who challenged the sword pagoda had to remember one thing. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they definitely wouldn't use any sword techniques.
Think about it. For example, if you reached the tenth level and there were ten powerful virtual swordsmen, it would be impossible for you to kill all of them in a short period of time. If you used your sword technique, would you be able to survive the sword techniques of ten powerful swordsmen who were close to your level?
The power of that sword technique was on the same level as the sword technique that you possessed. It was the kind of killing sword technique that would cause serious injuries or even death upon contact.
If it evolved into a clash of sword techniques, it was basically certain that no sword grandmaster-level swordsman would be able to clear the tenth level. That wouldn't be displaying a swordsman's true strength. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
