Su Haosha was thirty-eight years old this year. He had used less than ten years to advance from a beginner Sword Hunter to an advanced Sword Hunter. Moreover, he was one of the stronger ones among the advanced Sword Hunters.
In the Sacred Wildlands, Su Haosha was vaguely known as the number one Sword Hunter. He was also known as the number one Sword Venerable in the Sacred Wildlands. His title was Vast Sword Venerable.
In addition, Su Haosha had another identity. He was a member of the Sacred Sword Guard in the Sacred Wildlands. Moreover, he was a Deputy Commander in the Sacred Sword Guard. Rumor had it that Su Haosha had a master on the level of the mysterious Sword Of Gojoseon from the Hundred Saints Alliance.
All of these had created Su Haosha's legend in the Sacred Wildlands. No one dared to offend Su Haosha. Even first-rate forces like the Barbarian Sword Association and the Ancient Desolates Building didn't dare to challenge Su Haosha.
Whether it was Su Haosha's strength or his background, he wasn't someone that others could contend against.
"Now, I announce the start of the Life-and-Death Duel between Yang Lianfeng and Chu Mu!" Su Haosha announced in a clear voice. He flew to the edge of the arena, leaving the arena to Chu Mu and Yang Lianfeng.
A clanging sound was heard. Yang Lianfeng unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Chu Mu. A murderous aura burst out from the sword and condensed into a line that shot straight at Chu Mu.
The surrounding swordsmen suddenly fell silent. Everyone's gaze fell on Yang Lianfeng. They wanted to see how Yang Lianfeng would make his move.
"One strike!"
"Instakill Chu Mu with one strike!"
The swordsmen who bet on Yang Lianfeng defeating Chu Mu with one strike roared in their hearts.
"Chu Mu, you have to work hard. Even if you die, you have to at least withstand three strikes from Yang Lianfeng."
"Ten strikes. Chu Mu, even if you have to give it your all, you have to withstand ten strikes from Yang Lianfeng."
No one cared about Chu Mu's life or death. What they cared about was whether they could win the bet and whether they could earn spiritual stones. That was all.
"I'm going to kill you with my strongest strike!" Yang Lianfeng's eyes suddenly became dark and deep, as if they were absorbing all the light in the surroundings. Then, a black flame sprang up in his pupils, burning fiercely as if it wanted to burn Chu Mu and turn him into ashes.
Around Yang Lianfeng's body, wisps of black aura appeared out of nowhere. This aura was like a demon baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. It condensed into a flame and connected into a black demonic flame. It burned fiercely, as if it was igniting the void around him.
It was as if a peerless demon was being nurtured within the raging black flames. Yang Lianfeng's eyes emitted an astonishing light that shot into the void.
In the blink of an eye, the black flames spread to the sword pointed at Chu Mu. A terrifying aura spread out, sharp to the extreme, tearing the world apart.
All of this seemed to take a very long time, but in reality, it was only a very short moment.
Yang Lianfeng waved his sword, and a strange whistling sound, like the roar of a demon from the abyss, was heard. A black flame left the sword and slashed through the air, locking onto Chu Mu's body.
Chu Mu only felt that his body was locked by a cold and blazing aura. His blood was dry and hot, and a feeling of falling into darkness and loneliness arose from the spiritual level. It was as if a demonic flame had appeared in his body, burning him from the inside out.
"A sword skill fused with the profound meaning of darkness and fire …" Su Haosha nodded imperceptibly.
"It's Yang Lianfeng's strongest sword skill: Black Flame God-shocking Wave!"
"Originating from the fusion of the profound meaning of darkness and fire, not only does it have the blazing of flames, but it also has the coldness of darkness. The perfect combination of the two produces a black flame with terrifying power. Once hit, one will be burned. It's impossible to extinguish it until one is burned to ashes."
"The most powerful thing is that the Black Flame God-shocking Wave can target the spiritual level and shake the spiritual world. Although it won't cause any substantial damage, once the spiritual world is shaken, it will produce a momentary trance. For a swordsman in a life and death battle, a momentary trance is enough to be fatal."
These two sentences explained the terror of Yang Lianfeng's strongest sword skill, the Black Flame God-shocking Wave.
At this time, Chu Mu also clearly felt the tyrannical power of the Black Flame God-shocking Wave. Before the black flame bombarded him, he already felt that his spiritual world was constantly being attacked by a strange force.
However, Chu Mu's spiritual world was many times more tyrannical than a swordsman of the same level. The impact of the Black Flame God-shocking Wave was simply unable to shake Chu Mu's spiritual world.
Unless the power of the Black Flame God-shocking Wave could be increased tenfold, otherwise, it simply couldn't do anything to Chu Mu.
"How are you going to deal with it?" Su Haosha secretly thought as he looked at Chu Mu with interest.
"Dodge, quickly dodge." Those swordsmen who bet on the second or third option all clenched their fists as they roared in their hearts.
However, Chu Mu seemed to be in a daze as he stood motionless in the same place.
"Haha, fifty thousand upper grade spirit stones are about to be mine."
"This is really easy."
Those swordsmen who bet on the first option were secretly excited.
On Yang Lianfeng's face, there was also a victorious smile.
Strictly speaking, this sword move wasn't his strongest move because he didn't use any secret techniques to increase its power.
Yang Lianfeng felt that with his current cultivation of the Origin Realm Dacheng, his sixty percent sword intent, forty percent fire profound, and fifty percent darkness profound to form his strongest sword skill, the Black Flame God-shocking Wave, it was enough to kill an opponent like Chu Mu with one sword move.
It wasn't that he was looking down on Chu Mu, but that he was full of confidence in himself.
At his age, not even thirty years old, he was already able to possess such cultivation and comprehension. He could be considered an absolute genius. His future achievements might not be inferior to Su Haosha's.
"Die!" Yang Lianfeng roared. He could almost see Chu Mu being burned to ashes.
At this most crucial moment, Chu Mu, who seemed to be in a daze, moved. He raised his eyelids and a purple cold lightning shot out, leaving two clear traces in the air in front of him.
Immediately, the Desolate Sky Swords were unsheathed. Even an expert like Su Haosha could only vaguely see Chu Mu's hand move and a vague Sword Light burst out. The others could see even more vaguely. Some of the weaker swordsmen couldn't even see Chu Mu's sword unsheathing.
In everyone's eyes, they could only see a deep purple aurora that seemed to come from the void and shot towards the black flame.
"What a fast sword unsheathing speed!" Su Haosha was shocked.
The deep purple aurora had already collided with the black flames. Silently, the purple aurora pierced through the black flames, causing the black flames to begin to disperse. At the same time, the purple aurora shot towards Yang Lianfeng at an unparalleled speed.
Yang Lianfeng had just seen a deep purple appear in his eyes. Just as he was about to be surprised, the deep purple aurora had already pierced through Yang Lianfeng's protective sword aura and became the last color that Yang Lianfeng saw before he died.
The sound was like a clap of thunder, resounding through the entire area. Everyone's eyes widened, their eyeballs almost popping out of their sockets. They only saw that the deep purple aurora shot through Yang Lianfeng's forehead and came out from the back of his head in an instant.
Yang Lianfeng's pupils contracted and his eyeballs bulged out. His entire body slowly fell backwards.
As for the black flame, it dissipated a foot in front of Chu Mu.
Until his death, Yang Lianfeng couldn't believe that with his strength, he would be killed by a single sword strike.
Instant kill!
With a bang, Yang Lianfeng's body landed heavily on the hard floor of the battle arena. His pupils were dilated as he looked towards the sky in a daze, as if he was silently questioning something.
Why?
The hundreds of thousands of sword practitioners were all silent. Their brains couldn't process what had just happened.
Instant kill!
Chu Mu had killed Yang Lianfeng with a single sword strike!
Was this for real?
Shouldn't it be Yang Lianfeng who killed Chu Mu with a single sword strike?
How could this be?
Even Su Haosha, a powerful warrior, was dumbfounded and couldn't react in time.
Originally, he thought that Chu Mu wasn't bad and should be able to compete with Yang Lianfeng. As for the possibility of him defeating Yang Lianfeng, it was less than thirty percent.
However, he didn't expect that not only could Chu Mu compete with Yang Lianfeng, he could even kill him with a single sword strike.
And this Chu Mu was only at the peak of the initial stage of the Origin Realm.
Monster, he was definitely a monster!
Su Haosha's heart was trembling. It wasn't fear, but excitement.
"Great!" Su Haosha couldn't help but yell out in excitement. His "great" was like a thunderclap that rumbled and shook the crowd, instantly waking everyone up.
"Yang Lianfeng is dead …"
"One sword strike, he killed Yang Lianfeng with just one sword strike."
"We've misjudged him. This Chu Mu is actually so terrifying."
"That sword strike made me shudder."
"So powerful!" Feng Qi's palms were trembling, and his entire body was shaking uncontrollably. Apart from excitement, there was also a trace of fear.
It was because even if his ability was more powerful than Yang Lianfeng's, it wouldn't be by much. If Chu Mu could kill Yang Lianfeng with a single sword strike, it was highly possible that he could kill him with a single sword strike as well.
"I still need to become more powerful!" Fear turned into motivation. Feng Qi felt that he had found a new goal to pursue. This goal would make his path forward clearer.
On the other hand, Barbarian Jiu and Ye Wushuang clenched their fists. They had a strong fighting spirit, but at the same time, there was fear hidden deep in their hearts.
"It's really … terrifying …" Gu Yue, the captain of the Bloody Mang Squad, exhaled and sighed from the bottom of his heart. It was a pity that he couldn't recruit Chu Mu into the Bloody Mang Squad. He could vaguely see a new star rising.
The tall and thin old man from the bank who raised his hand was pale. All the blood had drained from his face, and he collapsed to the ground weakly.
He was the one who proposed the bet with Chu Mu. If he won, he would naturally have nothing to say. However, if he lost, he would definitely be punished. Being kicked out of the Giant Beast Bank was just a small matter, and he might even have to pay a serious price.
As for the sword guards from the Jade Sword Gang who were supporting Yang Lianfeng, their minds went blank as if they had turned into wooden men.
Chu Mu stood on the Sword Fighting Stage. At the edge, he became the center of attention. At the center, his sword was still in its scabbard, as if it had never been unsheathed. Only Yang Lianfeng's corpse and the deep purple aurora that, despite disappearing, still remained in everyone's hearts like an imprint. It showed the amazement of the sword just now.
