Taking a step forward, Chu Mu's figure disappeared into the golden door of light. In the next moment, the golden door of light automatically disappeared.
In front of him was a corridor of a palace. Bright pearls were embedded in the ceiling every ten meters, making the corridor as bright as day.
Chu Mu did not sense any danger as he strode forward. Not long after, he heard a commotion.
…
"Looks like your two families are determined to go against my Shentu family," said Shentu Kuangkuang coldly. The five people from the Shentu family drew their swords and pointed them forward, looking murderous.
"Hmph, from the moment your Shentu family helped that damned thing, you have already set yourself against our two families." The Long family's patriarch said gloomily. Commander Long Ling and the Great Elder stood beside him, staring at the five people from the Shentu family. They maintained a high level of vigilance, surrounded by murderous intent.
"The Shentu family is already strong enough. These things should be nothing to you. As long as your Shentu family is willing to retreat, our Fan family will definitely not do anything to you." The person in charge of the Fan family this time was not the patriarch of the Fan family, but the Great Elder of the Fan family.
Perhaps because they had two more spots than the Long family, four people from the Fan family passed the third round this time.
This was a chore hall. There were two piles of spirit stones piled up like small mountains. In addition, there were some elixir jade bottles on the shelves and some swords on the shelves.
There were Upper Grade Spirit Stones and Top Grade Spirit Stones. Although he didn't know the exact number, it shouldn't be a small amount. Coupled with the elixirs, swords and so on, it was definitely a huge fortune.
The Shen Tu family members were the first to discover this Chore Hall. However, before they could take action to collect it, the Long and Fan family members had also entered. Hence, in order to compete for the spirit stones, pills and swords, the three parties were at odds with one another.
As the Shentu family was the number one family in the Jinsha region, they had a deep foundation and powerful strength. It was inevitable that the Long and Fan families would be hostile in private, but they would not show it.
And now, there were five Shentu Family members that had entered the Heavenly Dragon Sword Palace. The Fan Family had four, and the Long Family had three. In theory, the Shentu Family was the strongest, so they had the highest chance of obtaining the most benefits. As a result, even if they did not obtain the Sword Saint's inheritance, the Shentu Family would still be able to advance further due to the benefits they obtained, widening the gap between them and the Fan Family and the Long Family.
This was something that the Fan and Long families would absolutely not allow. Hence, these two families temporarily came to an agreement and joined forces to fight against the Shentu family.
If they were outside, they would definitely not dare to do so. That was because the Shentu Clan had a deep and profound foundation and was extremely mysterious. It was very likely that they would not be a match for the Shentu Clan even if they joined forces. However, in this place, Sword Qi, Sword Intent, and Profound Force were all restricted. They could only rely on their bodies and sword techniques. With the Fan and Long Clans joining forces against the Shentu Clan's five people, their chances of victory were not small.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Dragon Sword Saint had said that entering the Heavenly Dragon Sword Palace was different from the previous three trials. There was danger to one's life. In other words, if one was killed here, one would truly die.
As long as the five Shentu Family members were all killed here, the Shentu Family would not know. Furthermore, with the death of the Patriarch and Eldest Young Master, as well as the Great Elder, the Shentu Family would be like a headless dragon. They would definitely fall into chaos. At that time, the Fan and Long Families would return from a rewarding journey and join forces again. They could completely disintegrate the Shentu Family and divide the Shentu Family to strengthen themselves.
Just thinking about it, what a wonderful ending that would be.
The Shentu Family members could also think of this. Their faces turned gloomy and extremely ugly.
This time, it was really dangerous.
"Wudi, once you take action, immediately find a chance to leave this place. It would be best if you can obtain the Sword Saint's inheritance. If you can't, you must find a chance to leave and return to the Shentu Family. Do your best to reorganize and prepare to deal with the danger." Shentu Kuangsha whispered to Shentu Wudi beside him. As Sword Qi was restricted, he could not use Sword Qi to transmit his voice. The Fan and Long Family members could not hear him from a distance.
"Shentu Kuangsha, stop dreaming. I will not let your son go." The Long Family's Long Ling sneered. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness. His words caused the Shentu Family members' expressions to change.
Seeing the Shentu Family members' expressions, Long Ling seemed to be a little proud. "Although I can't hear what you are saying, unfortunately, I can read lips."
Long Ling's words immediately caused the hearts of the five Shentu Family members to sink. Reading lips meant that no matter what they said, as long as Long Ling could see their lips moving, he would know what they were saying. There was no way to keep it a secret, which meant that they had lost the initiative.
The four Fan Family members and the three Long Family members formed an encirclement, almost blocking the entrance to this side hall. The murderous intent emitted from their bodies was extremely strong. It was oppressive, almost suffocating the Shentu Family members.
"Kill as many as you can." Since the other party could read lips, Shentu Wudi did not deliberately lower his voice. Instead, he shouted with murderous intent.
The only thing they could do now was to fight to the death for a chance of survival. As long as one of them could rush out of here, they could immediately find a way out of the Heavenly Dragon Sword Hall and return to the Shentu Family. That was the most important thing.
With the determination to cut off all means of retreat, the five Shentu Family members calmed down. However, the aura on their bodies became more condensed. The murderous intent was intense, causing the seven Fan and Long Family members to feel some fear.
"Everyone, we have the advantage. Fight steadily and kill all five of them." The Long Family's Patriarch sneered.
"Of course." The Fan Family's Great Elder laughed.
Swords were drawn and bows were drawn. The battle was on the verge of erupting. It was like a string that had been stretched to its limit. The slightest touch would break it.
Strong murderous auras collided. The surrounding air became as thick as water, suffocating. Suddenly, a series of light footsteps sounded. It was rhythmic, and the rhythm seemed to contain a unique charm. It instantly broke the suffocating atmosphere.
"Someone else has appeared." The Long and Fan Family members' expressions changed drastically, while the Shentu Family members revealed a trace of joy.
No matter who it was, as long as someone else appeared, they could break the current situation. It was a good thing for the Shentu Family, but it was not necessarily a good thing for the Fan and Long Families.
A figure appeared at the entrance of the branch hall. His appearance was clearly seen by everyone.
"It's you!" The Long Family's Patriarch exclaimed. Immediately, his murderous aura soared. "Good, you came at the right time. I was worried about where to find you. I didn't expect you to come here yourself. You and the Shentu Family will be eliminated together."
"Patriarch, leave him to me." Long Ling licked his lips and grinned. His gaze towards Chu Mu was filled with ferocity, as if he was staring at his prey.
"Kill him as soon as possible. The situation might change if we delay." Although the Long Family's Patriarch wanted to ruthlessly torture Chu Mu, there were too many variables here. It was better to kill him as soon as possible.
"Patriarch, don't worry. I know what I'm doing." Long Ling grinned as he walked towards Chu Mu.
"Brother Chu, leave quickly." Shentu Wudi roared. Although Chu Mu's swordsmanship was very powerful, Long Ling had been in seclusion for twenty years. No one knew how good his swordsmanship was now. Subconsciously, Shentu Wudi felt that this was a dangerous situation. He hoped that Chu Mu could leave this place and bring back the news that the Fan and Long Families had joined forces to deal with the Shentu Family.
"Go, I'll see where you can go." Long Ling's footsteps sped up. Like a wheel, it was as if it was flying. It charged towards Chu Mu like a gust of wind and stabbed its sword forward. The sword light was like a venomous snake that flew out of the darkness. It opened its mouth and revealed its venomous fangs, biting towards Chu Mu's neck.
Before the Sword Light arrived, the sharp and gloomy killing intent made one's hair stand on end.
When the Sword Light was three inches away from Chu Mu's neck, Long Ling twisted his wrist and the Sword Light instantly changed. It was like splashing ink, covering the surrounding space. It made Chu Mu feel that there was nowhere to hide. Within the splashing ink of the Sword Light, there were streaks of sharpness that were like the fangs of a venomous snake.
Chu Mu only felt an itch on his neck. It was a little painful, as if it had been pierced.
In an instant, Chu Mu determined that Long Ling's swordsmanship was much more profound than the guardian of the third stage.
As spectators, whether they were from the Shentu Family, Fan Family, or Long Family, they only felt a chill on their necks.
"Brother Chu, be careful." Shentu Wudi's expression changed drastically. He could not help but remind him.
"Commander Long Ling has been in seclusion for twenty years. His swordsmanship has become several times more profound." The Long Family Patriarch laughed. The Fan Family Patriarch frowned.
Chu Mu seemed to be unable to dodge. He stood there in a daze, waiting for Long Ling's Sword Light to arrive. In the eyes of others, it would only take a breath's time for Chu Mu's neck to be pierced by Long Ling's Sword Light, killing him on the spot.
Suddenly, everyone felt a blur in front of their eyes. It was as if a blurry Sword Light had streaked across like a dream. Long Ling's splashing ink of the Sword Light instantly dissipated. The Sword Light hidden within the Sword Light like a venomous snake's fang also stopped an inch away from Chu Mu's neck. It was as if it had exhausted all its strength and could not advance any further.
Long Ling's eyes were wide open, almost protruding out. He was filled with disbelief. His mouth was wide open as if he wanted to shout something, but he could not make a sound. There was a wound on his neck that was bleeding profusely.
With a bang, Long Ling fell forward. Blood flowed down, dying the ground around his neck red. The smell of blood permeated the air.
"Commander Long Ling!" The Long Family Patriarch was shocked. Their expressions turned ugly.
"He's … dead …" The Fan Family Patriarch was in a daze.
"Chu … Brother Chu …" Shentu Wudi seemed to have turned into a wooden puppet. The Shentu Family Patriarch was also in a daze.
Everything that had happened before their eyes was completely out of their expectations.
Chu Mu, who should have died under Long Ling's sword, was still alive. However, the insufferably arrogant Long Ling was dead, lying in front of Chu Mu.
This scene was so unbelievable that everyone could not react for a moment. Their minds were still stuck at the moment when Long Ling's splashing ink Sword Light was about to pierce Chu Mu.
Instant kill, instant kill with one sword!
"Who else wants to die?" Chu Mu's gaze moved away from the corpses on the ground and swept towards the Long and Fan Family Patriarchs. His calm voice suddenly rang out. (To be continued.)
