(Tired ah)
"Hahahaha … … Great, with these spirit stones, our Li Family will have more funds to develop." In the hall of Li Family, Li Mingxin laughed heartily without any fear of the prestige of the Patriarch. He was truly too happy.
The Great Elder of Li Family and the other elders were also incomparably happy. Each and every one of them had a gratified appearance.
This time, Li Family had cut off all means of retreat. They had reached a consensus and used 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. A portion of these high-grade spirit stones were obtained from Long Family's Third Young Master and his sword guards. The majority of the spirit stones were pooled together by Li Family. Now, they had received a huge return.
One to ten!
Other than recovering their capital, the Li family had also earned a total of nine hundred thousand high grade spirit stones. To the Shentu and Long families, this was nothing, but to the Li family, this was a huge fortune. To the Li family, this was the first bucket of gold for the Li family to rise again, and it was extremely important.
As for Chu Mu, other than getting back one million high-grade spirit stones, he also obtained nine million high-grade spirit stones. Yang Wudi, Shentu Wudi, and the others who had bet on Chu Mu's victory all received generous returns.
Of course, those swordsmen who had bet on Long Yi's victory all lost. They continuously cursed Long Family for being trash. A veteran Origin Realm swordsman, Dacheng, was actually killed by a swordsman who had broken through to Origin Realm less than a year ago. This caused them to lose a large amount of spirit stones.
Some were happy and some were sad.
The members of the Fan Clan all had ashen faces, especially the eldest daughter of the Fan Clan, Fan Fenghua. Her gorgeous face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping water. The reason was very simple. The Fan Clan had suffered a great loss this time, and the impact on their reputation was also very great. It could be said that they had made a loss.
Among the three major clans of Jinsha County, Fan Family was ranked second. In terms of martial strength, Fan Family was actually not much stronger than Long Family. However, in terms of financial resources, Fan Family was above Shentu Family. This was because Fan Family was different from Long Family and Shentu Family.
The Fan family was born with a rich business mind. Every investment they made was just right. Even if they failed due to an unexpected situation, they would react quickly and minimize the losses. Therefore, the Fan family's financial resources grew larger and larger each time.
The gambling house of this life and death fight between Chu Mu and Long Yi was opened by the eldest miss of Fan clan, Fan Fenghua. Since childhood, Fan Fenghua had shown incomparable talent in business, and her vision was extremely accurate. From the time she was in charge of the big and small business of Fan clan, she had never made a mistake. Just like her name: Fenghua.
This time, she saw the opportunity and opened a big bet to sweep through Jinsha County. Almost eighty percent of the swordsmen in Jinsha County were involved, and the number of spirit stones involved could be counted with a sea of spirit stones. If they won, the Fan Clan's profits would be a small matter, but their reputation would be greatly shaken once again.
However, all of this came to nothing because Long Yi died under Chu Mu's sword.
Before the start of the battle, who could have predicted that Chu Mu would be able to kill Long Yi and win?
Even at the start of the battle, no one could have predicted the final outcome.
"Fenghua, you didn't make a mistake. It's just that Chu Mu is too monstrous." The head of Fan clan smiled bitterly.
"No matter what reason you give, it won't change the fact that I lost." The gloominess on Fan Fenghua's face disappeared, and that beautiful face became cold, "However, I will learn from this."
… …
"Damn it, damn it, damn it …" The Long clan was filled with gloom. The head of the Long clan violently smashed the tables and chairs, making the entire room look like a ruin.
Originally, Chu Mu had killed a swordsman of Origin Realm in the Li clan, which was a loss that had never happened in the past ten years. Now, two more Origin Realm swordsmen of Dacheng had been killed. This was the biggest loss the Long clan had suffered in the past thirty years.
Both Long Yi and Long Er were very important experts of the Long clan. Now that both of them had died, the impact on the Long clan was unimaginable. The Long clan's strength had declined, and their reputation had also fallen greatly.
All of this was caused by that person called Chu Mu.
Everyone in the Long Family hated Chu Mu like a torrential river. They wanted nothing more than to skin Chu Mu alive and torture him for seven days and seven nights before killing him. Only then could they vent the hatred in their hearts.
"Gather all the elders." The head of the Long clan said gloomily after venting his anger.
In the main hall of the Long clan, the head of the Long clan and all the elders had gathered. They were all sitting upright with serious expressions.
… …
"Brother Chu, I originally only admired your swordsmanship and thought that in terms of true strength, you were inferior to me. But now, I'm truly convinced." In Shentu Wudi's courtyard, Shentu Wudi laughed loudly.
Other than Shentu Wudi and Chu Mu, Yang Wudi was also present.
Compared to Shentu Wudi's agitation, Chu Mu was indifferent.
"This time, the Long clan has suffered a double loss. However, I firmly believe that the Long clan's hatred for you is very deep, Brother Chu. They will definitely not let this matter rest." Shentu Wudi frowned and said worriedly, "With our Shentu clan's deterrence, the Long clan will definitely not dare to do anything on the surface. However, it's hard to say in the dark. As long as the Long clan doesn't personally act, they can spend spirit stones to hire assassins to assassinate you."
"I'll deal with whatever comes my way." Chu Mu smiled faintly. He had long understood that the Long clan would continue to deal with him. That was a hundred percent certain. However, when? What kind of methods would they use? That was all.
Assassination was indeed the most likely method.
His worries were superfluous. In the face of an assassination that could come at any time, Chu Mu could only work hard to increase his strength. Only then could he survive the assassination and counterattack.
"Other than the Long clan, the Fan clan has also suffered a great loss this time. Fan Fenghua will probably bear a grudge against you." Shentu Wudi smiled again. He was very heartless. "Being hated by a beautiful woman, especially a beautiful and intelligent one, is a very troublesome matter. Of course, it might also be a good thing."
Chu Mu only shook his head and smiled. He didn't take it to heart. No matter how intelligent or beautiful Fan Fenghua was, it had nothing to do with him.
In Chu Mu's heart, as long as someone wanted to deal with him or become his enemy, no matter who it was, they would have to pay the price.
After spending half a day in Shentu Wudi's courtyard, Shentu Wudi's father, who was the current head of the Shentu clan, also met with Chu Mu. He didn't act overbearing or put on airs, giving Chu Mu a good impression of him.
Of course, Shentu Wudi's father also had a good impression of Chu Mu.
…
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. The Long clan didn't take any action, and the Fan clan was as calm as a lake. It looked like everything had passed, and time continued to move forward.
However, Chu Mu knew that the Long clan would definitely not give up. This was his intuition, and it had never been wrong.
The reason why they hadn't taken any action until now was probably because the timing wasn't right, or some other reason. It was definitely not because they had given up on this grudge.
As for Chu Mu, in these three days, other than cultivating, he focused on comprehending the Dual Extreme Sword Technique.
The foundation of the Dual Polarity Sword Skill originated from the profound of water and the profound of fire. There was more than one way to fuse these two opposing profound powers.
For example, when water and fire met, the two would cancel each other out. That could barely be considered a fusion, but it was a fusion with the least power.
For example, water would remove the high temperature on the surface of the flame, turning it into a powerful cold flame. Once struck, the cold flame's power would be unleashed, turning the target into ashes in an instant. The cold flame's power was several times more terrifying than fire.
Chu Mu had taken the most difficult path of fusion.
In the process of fusion, the profound of water and the profound of fire would constantly collide and explode, and the explosion would be controlled to the smallest extent. In other words, the explosion caused by the collision of the two profound of water and fire would not be complete, but only a very small part of it.
Even so, the two opposing profound powers would experience countless tiny explosions and be controlled to fuse as a whole. Not only would the explosion not affect Chu Mu, but it would also generate a powerful force, making the Dual Polarity Sword Skill extremely fast. Moreover, its power would also be maximized under the continuous explosions.
This was the most difficult way of fusion, and at the same time, it was also the most powerful way of fusion. It was full of danger, and if one wasn't careful, it was very likely that one would explode into pieces.
Fortunately, Chu Mu had successfully taken the first step under the effect of the Soul-cleansing Profound Pill. After that, every time he deepened the fusion, he would have to go through some danger, just like walking on a tightrope. However, as long as the fusion was successful, the power of the Dual Polarity Sword would constantly increase.
This was a path that ordinary people wouldn't dare to take. It could even be said that it was very crazy, because if one wasn't careful, they would die from the collision of the two profound.
The profound of water and the profound of fire were opposites. Once they exploded, the power would be extremely terrifying. Not only would it destroy the body, but it would also destroy the spiritual world.
A broken body could be repaired through some means, but if the spiritual world was destroyed, the soul would lose its foundation. It was like a snail that had lost its shell. There was no doubt that it would die.
If others knew that Chu Mu had taken such a dangerous path, they would definitely be very surprised, and even laugh at him for overestimating himself.
During these three days, Yang Wudi and Chu Mu constantly fought, not only in terms of sword arts, but also in terms of overall strength. In terms of sword arts, he wasn't as good as Chu Mu. In terms of strength, he originally thought that he was better than Chu Mu, but now it seemed that he wasn't as good as Chu Mu. Therefore, after sparring with Chu Mu one last time, Yang Wudi left to pursue his own path of the sword.
Yang Wudi was very clear that Chu Mu was very dangerous right now, but even if he stayed, it would be useless because he was weaker than Chu Mu.
If it was a strong enemy that even Chu Mu couldn't deal with, then it would be useless for him to stay. Since that was the case, he might as well leave and pursue his own path of the sword, making himself stronger.
"I hope I can hear the news of you becoming a sword sovereign soon." These were Yang Wudi's last words before he left, filled with deep hope.
At this moment, the sun was setting in the west. Yang Wudi faced the setting sun and gradually walked further and further away. Chu Mu's shadow was being pulled longer and longer … … If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
