"Big Brother Chu, you're too powerful." Xia You exclaimed, "You actually made it to fourth place. Even Gu Jianghe fell behind."
The Eighth Elder of the Heaven Burying Sword Sect was also looking at Chu Mu with an uncertain expression. He was sure that he had never seen Chu Mu before. When he heard the discussion around him, he suddenly shivered. He knew that Chu Mu came from the Eastern Sword Region.
The Eighth Elder's impression of the Eastern Sword Region was that it was a very barren place. The overall level of the swordsmen was very low. He also knew that Xiao Qianfeng came from the Eastern Sword Region. He originally thought that Xiao Qianfeng should be the most outstanding young swordsman in the Eastern Sword Region, the king of sword heroes. He didn't expect that there would be someone stronger than him.
"Zhen Tian Sword Hero, Chu Mu …" The Eighth Elder pondered. His gaze swept over Chu Mu, then looked at Xiao Qianfeng. His whole body trembled, "This Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng know each other. From the way they talk, they seem to be quite familiar with each other. Could it be that the assassins during the Dark Night were the two of them?"
Soon after, the Eighth Elder rejected this idea. He felt that it was impossible, but the seed of this idea had already been planted in his heart.
"Xia You, do you want to challenge him?" Chu Mu asked.
"No, Big Brother Chu. I'll challenge him after my strength increases a bit." Xia You said.
"Senior Brother, let's go back." Chu Mu said. Xiao Qianfeng nodded. Suddenly, he transmitted his voice to Chu Mu, "… He's the Eighth Elder of the Heaven Burying Sword Sect. He's at the early stage of the Origin Realm. Once we leave the Heaven Piercing Peak, he'll immediately chase after us and attack me. I'll leave first and lure him away. Junior Brother, you and Xia You can leave after that."
"Early stage of the Origin Realm …" Chu Mu didn't feel much. After all, he had already killed two Origin Realm swordsmen. "Senior Brother, how confident are you?"
"I'm not confident." Xiao Qianfeng said after a moment of silence.
"In that case, let me lure him away." Chu Mu said. He had the Meteor Sword Energy and the protection of the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon. A mere Origin Realm sword artist was nothing in his eyes.
"The Lifeless Sword Dao I inherited has a forbidden art. Once I use it, I'll definitely be able to kill my opponent. However, I'll be weakened for a period of time. At that time, I'll need Junior Brother to protect me." Xiao Qianfeng was silent for three breaths before he sent a voice transmission.
"Senior Brother Xiao …" Just as Chu Mu was about to persuade Xiao Qianfeng, the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon's voice rang in his ears. The Asura Sword Of Gojoseon wanted Xiao Qianfeng to give it a try.
With the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon around, Xiao Qianfeng's life wouldn't be in danger.
"Junior Brother, there's no need to say anymore. We can't stay at the top of Skyreach Mountain forever." Xiao Qianfeng's tone was extremely resolute and unshakable.
"Xia You, you stay here for now." Chu Mu nodded to Xiao Qianfeng and then said to Xia You.
"Boss Chu, Boss Xiao …" Xia You was anxious, but when he saw the resolute expressions of Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng, he didn't say anything else and just nodded. However, only he knew what he was thinking.
"Let's go." Xiao Qianfeng let out a low shout. Sword Qi surged as his figure flashed and turned into a stream of light, rapidly flying away from the top of Skyreach Mountain. A pair of sword Qi wings appeared on his back, allowing him to travel a thousand meters in the blink of an eye. It was obvious that he had used some kind of secret technique to increase his speed.
Chu Mu didn't fall behind either. He was almost neck to neck with Xiao Qianfeng as they quickly flew away.
The Buried Heaven Sword Sect's Eighth Elder was startled. Then, his expression changed drastically. With a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, his Sword Energy surged as he turned into a stream of light and chased after them.
Xia You's face was filled with anxiety. He paced back and forth a few times before he immediately used a secret flying technique and chased after them.
Some of the swordsmen on the top of Skyreach Mountain reacted. They all realized that there was a good show to watch.
Two Sword Masters ranked in the top ten of the Heavenly Sword Hero Ranking and an Origin Realm swordsman. It seemed like there was a grudge between them.
"Let's go."
"Quick, follow them. There's a good show to watch."
"I wonder if Sword Master Zhen Tian and Lifeless Sword Master can escape from that Origin Realm swordsman?"
"I recognize that Origin Realm swordsman. He's the Buried Heaven Sword Sect's Eighth Elder. He's at the Origin Realm."
Accompanied by various discussions, whooshing sounds of breaking wind quickly followed. One figure after another flew out, transforming into streaks of lightning as they quickly chased in the direction Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng left in.
… …
Chu Mu used the Sky Traversing Secret Technique's second stage, Soaring Into the Heavens. With his Sword Qi that had just reached the peak of the Qi Hai Realm, the consumption of Soaring Into the Heavens was nothing. What Xiao Qianfeng used was a flying secret technique that was similar to Soaring Into the Heavens, so it didn't seem to consume much energy.
Their speed was extremely fast, but the Buried Heaven Sword Sect's Eighth Elder wasn't slow either. He quickly caught up and closed the distance between them.
"Junior Brother, I'm going to use the Lifeless Forbidden Art." Xiao Qianfeng shouted. His body suddenly stopped in mid-air. A strong and sharp aura surged from his body and shot into the clouds.
Chu Mu also stopped and turned around to face the Eighth Elder, who was chasing after them. His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Let's kill them together." A sinister smile appeared on the Eighth Elder's face. Within a thousand meters.
A huge sword pressure rolled over, toppling the mountains and overturning the seas. The air produced a tsunami-like whistling sound, as if it was going to swallow Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng.
The rumbling sound was like ten thousand horses galloping. The momentum was terrifying.
With a boom, Xiao Qianfeng's body exploded, and an even more terrifying aura burst out. This aura was very strange. The moment it appeared, it quickly changed and brought with it traces of death Qi. After a breath, the death Qi became denser.
The Eighth Elder's tsunami-like sword pressure was blocked in an instant. The Eighth Elder's face revealed a look of surprise.
"This kid must die." The Eighth Elder's face became sinister. There was a trace of shock in his eyes because the aura that Xiao Qianfeng released made him feel a trace of fear. It was as if death was approaching.
Chu Mu glanced at Xiao Qianfeng and found that his Lifeless Forbidden Art wasn't ready yet. However, the Buried Heaven Sword Sect's Eighth Elder was already within five hundred meters. In less than two breaths of time, he would appear in front of them.
The Demon Slaying Sword was unsheathed, and a ten-meter-long dark golden crescent moon slashed through the air.
The Eighth Elder only felt that the sky in front of him seemed to have lost its light in an instant, becoming dark and gloomy. Then, a dark golden waning moon seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. It suddenly appeared and tore the darkness apart. With an unparalleled sharpness, it descended in an overbearing manner and filled his eyes.
"You dare to show off an unfinished sword technique in front of me? Break!" The Eighth Elder's body suddenly stopped. His hair and beard were fluttering in anger. It was as if he was in the middle of a storm. His sword pressure was raised to the extreme.
The moment he unsheathed his sword, it was as if he could cut the heavens and the earth in half. A huge condensed cyan sword light slashed out and collided with the dark golden crescent moon.
With a loud boom, the dark golden crescent moon was shattered by the cyan sword light. The cyan sword light paused for a moment, then continued to slash towards Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng.
The cyan sword light locked onto Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng. The terrifying aura made it difficult for Chu Mu to breathe.
The Origin Realm swordsmen from the Central Main Sword Region were much stronger than the Origin Realm swordsmen from the Eastern Main Sword Region.
Chu Mu knew very well that with his strength, he wouldn't be able to withstand this cyan sword light. In an instant, he and Xiao Qianfeng would be killed.
However, Chu Mu didn't have the slightest fear. He knew that the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon wouldn't let him be killed. Moreover, Xiao Qianfeng's Lifeless Forbidden Art was already prepared.
A thick aura of death gathered on Xiao Qianfeng's body. It was as if Xiao Qianfeng had changed into a different person.
"Lifeless Forbidden Art … Death without Life …" A hoarse voice sounded from the side. It was filled with deathly stillness. It made Chu Mu's hair stand on end. At this moment, Xiao Qianfeng seemed to be possessed by the God of Death.
With a swing of his sword, Chu Mu only saw a greyish white sword light break through the air. Then, the cyan sword light dissipated as if it was being eroded. The Eighth Elder of the Heaven Burying Sword Sect was terrified. He hurriedly waved his sword in front of him to block.
However, Xiao Qianfeng's attack was simply unstoppable. There was no way to block it.
With a boom, the Eighth Elder's sword was shattered. The greyish white sword light slashed through the Eighth Elder's body without any hindrance, splitting it into two. Then, the two halves of the Eighth Elder's body rapidly shriveled up, as if their vitality was draining away in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the aura on Xiao Qianfeng's body disappeared. His eyes closed as he lost consciousness and fell down.
Chu Mu hurriedly caught Xiao Qianfeng's body. When he felt that Xiao Qianfeng's aura was faintly discernible, he hurriedly left. He didn't even pay attention to the Eighth Elder's spatial bracelet.
"Senior Sword Of Gojoseon, what should we do now?" Chu Mu asked somewhat anxiously.
"He only used the Lifeless Forbidden Art and consumed ten years of his lifespan. He'll be fine after resting for a while." The Asura Sword Of Gojoseon's voice sounded. It was extremely calm, causing Chu Mu to be stunned.
Consuming ten years of his lifespan and still being fine? Chu Mu couldn't understand.
"The Central Main Sword Domain also has elixirs that can replenish lifespan. Although they are precious, as long as your strength increases, you'll be able to obtain them." The Asura Sword Of Gojoseon added, "Moreover, your Senior Brother Xiao is a genius. When I return to the Asura Sword Sect, I'll take him as my disciple. The Asura Sword Sect has some elixirs that can replenish lifespan."
Chu Mu suddenly understood. No wonder the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon was so calm. The reason was this.
"Senior Sword Of Gojoseon wants to take Senior Brother Xiao as his disciple. This is naturally Senior Brother Xiao's fortune." Chu Mu smiled and said, "I'll head to the Asura Sword Sect as soon as possible."
"There's no rush. The Asura Sword Sect is on the other side of the Central Main Sword Domain. With your current strength, it's almost impossible for you to go there. Wait until you have the strength of a Sword Sovereign before you go." The Asura Sword Of Gojoseon said.
Chu Mu transmitted his voice to the Asura Sword Of Gojoseon as he quickly left with Xiao Qianfeng.
The death of the Eighth Elder of the Heaven Burying Sword Sect was witnessed by many swordsmen. The Heaven Burying Sword Sect would soon know about it. At that time, they would also know that Xiao Qianfeng and Chu Mu were the murderers. At that time, the entire Heaven Burying Sword Sect would definitely move out. It wouldn't take long.
Therefore, returning to Tongtian Town wasn't a wise choice. It was best to stay far away and find a secluded place for Xiao Qianfeng to have a good rest. The best way was to get through this period of weakness.
A group of swordsmen quickly rushed down to snatch the Eighth Elder's Space Bracelet. After all, it was an Origin Realm swordsman's Space Bracelet, so it shouldn't be ordinary. (To be continued.
