In the blink of an eye, forty breaths of time had passed.
Chu Mu's figure flickered as he walked out of the light door.
Even Yan Jiuyou had a stunned and dazed look on his face.
The Southwestern Palace Master stared at Chu Mu in a daze, thinking that he was hallucinating.
Chu Mu's body did not have the slightest fluctuation of a sharp aura. It was the same as before. It was as if he had entered to sightsee and not to fight.
Yan Jiuyou stared at Chu Mu, his pupils shrinking to the size of needles. The cold aura on his body fluctuated more and more, and the surrounding air began to turn cold. Traces of fighting spirit radiated from his body.
The difference between fifteen minutes and sixty breaths was obvious, and the difference between sixty breaths and forty breaths was equally obvious.
What did this mean? It meant that the other party had killed his opponent with a single strike, while Yan Jiuyou had dodged his opponent's attack before counterattacking. Moreover, it had taken him three strikes to kill his opponent. It had taken him even more time.
The Southwestern Palace Master finally came to his senses.
"Good, good, good!" The three words in a row reflected his surging emotions. He could not hide the smile on his face at all.
As for the other swordsmen, their gazes towards Chu Mu were full of reverence. In their hearts, Chu Mu's originally insignificant status had suddenly risen to a level where they had to pay great attention to him. They definitely could not offend him.
He looked so young, at most thirty years old, but he actually had such strength. It was really too terrifying.
At this time, Chu Mu's name appeared on the Sword Sovereign's Sword Stele, followed by the title of Sword Sovereign Zhen Tian.
"Chu Mu!" Yan Jiuyou's pupils dilated and contracted as he stared at the name on the Sword Stele. An astonishing light shone from his eyes, like a Sword Light that could pierce through everything.
Others might have forgotten this name, but Yan Jiuyou had a deep impression of it. Because this name was engraved on his soul like a brand.
Originally, the Heavenly Sword Hero Ranking was just a competition between him and Jue Wudao. It was difficult to determine who was better. Who would have thought that Zong Qingtian would appear and push them all down.
But there was a limit to Zong Qingtian's strength. After that, he was surpassed by them.
At this time, another person appeared and surpassed all of them in one fell swoop.
Number one on the Heavenly Sword Hero Roll, the name that had suppressed him, Zong Qingtian, and Jue Wudao, and was unable to make a comeback in the end, was Chu Mu.
Yan Jiuyou only knew this name, but he had never seen Chu Mu before. He had always had one thought in his mind, and that was to find Chu Mu and fight him.
However, the Central Main Sword Domain was vast and there were countless swordsmen. Finding a swordsman was like finding a needle in a haystack. It was extremely difficult.
Who would have thought that he would actually meet Chu Mu during the Sword Venerable assessment?
In fact, he wasn't the only one. Zong Qingtian and Jue Wudao had also been thinking about Chu Mu, but just like him, they couldn't find him.
"Chu Mu, fight me." Yan Jiuyou turned around and a sharp light shot out of his eyes, piercing through the void and shooting straight at Chu Mu. The cold aura around him instantly intensified, as if he had fallen into the Yellow Springs of the Nine Hells.
Yan Jiuyou's fighting spirit was monstrous and shocking. The other swordsmen couldn't withstand it at all and had to retreat. Only Chu Mu allowed the fighting spirit and the cold aura to attack him without moving an inch.
Everything seemed to disappear, and only Chu Mu and Yan Jiuyou were left facing each other. The surroundings seemed to have become the water of the Yellow Springs of the Nine Hells, flowing endlessly.
"Stop." An unexpected voice seemed to fall from the sky and instantly disintegrated Yan Jiuyou's cold and sharp aura. It was the Southwest Palace Master.
With a wave of his hand, twenty Sword Venerable Sword Tokens flew out and landed in the hands of each swordsman.
Chu Mu could feel that the illusory fortune in his body had increased a little.
"If you want to fight, you will have plenty of opportunities." The Southwest Palace Master swept his gaze over Chu Mu and Yan Jiuyou and said with his hands behind his back, "In a little more than a year, there will be an excellent opportunity."
"What opportunity?" Yan Jiuyou looked at the Southwest Palace Master and asked coldly.
"The Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly." The Southwest Palace Master said with a smile on his face.
"The Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly?" Chu Mu and the others were puzzled as they looked at the Southwest Palace Master.
"I won't go into the details. You just need to remember that the Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly will be held in a year and four months. If you want to participate in the Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly, you'd better get to the Hundred Saints Mountain before then." The Southwest Palace Master said, "When the time comes, almost all the Sword Venerables of the Ancient Sword Continent will be present to compete."
"All the Sword Venerables of the Ancient Sword Continent …" Everyone's emotions surged.
The Ancient Sword Continent was very vast and no one knew how many Sword Venerables there were. If the Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly could gather most of the Sword Venerables and compete, it would definitely be an unparalleled event.
It was believed that no Sword Venerable would be willing to miss such an event. Think about it, at that time, they would be able to meet many experts and see all kinds of Sword Dao. They would be able to fight with many experts and constantly improve their strength.
Yan Jiuyou was tempted, and so was Chu Mu.
Suddenly, Chu Mu remembered what Su Haosha said to him when he left the Sacred Wild City.
"Maybe we will meet again in three years. At that time, there might be a battle between you and me."
These words vaguely rang in his ears again.
"I see, Su Haosha already knew about the Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly and will also be there."
"It seems that only Sword Venerables are qualified to know about this event." Chu Mu thought in his heart and suddenly understood.
However, what puzzled him was that, according to the records, the Ancient Sword Continent had never held such an event. It could be said that this Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly was the first.
Why was it not held in the past, but now?
Chu Mu didn't know, but perhaps there was a special reason.
After thinking about it, Chu Mu felt that this had nothing to do with him. Everyone was not a fool and would definitely have such doubts. If it was some kind of conspiracy, someone would see through it and stop it. After all, the Hundred Saints Alliance had one hundred Sword Saints. They were not to be trifled with.
Moreover, the Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly was a grand event organized by the Hundred Saints Alliance.
"There is still one year left. There are more than four months left. I will go into closed-door training for one year and then rush to the Hundred Saints Mountain." Chu Mu thought to himself and turned to leave the Hundred Saints Alliance's Southwest Sub-Palace.
Seeing Chu Mu leave, Yan Jiuyou also quickly stepped out of the Southwest Sub-Palace. The other swordsmen also left one after another.
"Wait." Outside the Southwest Sub-Palace, Chu Mu had just soared into the air when Yan Jiuyou's voice sounded. He also soared into the air and chased after Chu Mu. "Chu Mu, fight with me."
This was Yan Jiuyou's wish, and also his obsession.
"Why not wait until the Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly?" Chu Mu turned around and said indifferently.
"We will wait until the Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly," Yan Jiuyou said. Yan Jiuyou said. He pulled out his sword and a cold and sharp aura surged. Like a surging tide, the waves charged towards Chu Mu. Behind Yan Jiuyou, a yellow river vaguely appeared. It was cold and sinister, as if there were countless dead souls howling in pain and countless white bones floating up and down.
"Sword Dao Manifestation!" The other swordsmen were shocked when they saw this.
"Oh, this boy has actually mastered the Yellow Spring Sword Dao to such an extent. Sword Dao Manifestation. Although he is just a beginner, at such a young age, it is enough to show that his talent is extraordinary." The Southwest Sub-Palace's Hall Master stood at the entrance and exclaimed.
Sword Dao Manifestation was the sign of a level after inheriting a certain Sword Dao. Only when one's comprehension of the Sword Dao had reached a certain level would they be able to achieve Sword Dao Manifestation. It also meant that the swordsman had truly entered the threshold of the Sword Dao.
Many swordsmen were unable to achieve Sword Dao Manifestation even after inheriting the Sword Dao. Yan Jiuyou had achieved it at such a young age, no wonder the Southwest Sub-Palace's Hall Master was shocked.
Chu Mu's expression was solemn. Sword Dao Manifestation had brought him a kind of pressure.
"Take this!" Yan Jiuyou shouted and swung his sword. The Yellow Spring water behind him flowed faster as if it had merged into the sword and rushed toward Chu Mu.
"Moon Severing!" With a shout in his heart, Chu Mu drew his sword and slashed out.
The metallic dark golden crescent moon cut through the air and slashed at the Yellow Spring water. With a splash, the Yellow Spring water drowned the dark golden crescent moon, but the dark golden crescent moon broke through the Yellow Spring water and tore it apart as it continued to attack Yan Jiuyou.
The Yellow Springs' water contained a terrifying power, causing the dark golden waning moon's power to be constantly depleted as it grew smaller and smaller. When it reached Yan Jiuyou, it was easily shattered by Yan Jiuyou's sword. The Yellow Springs' water also lost its power under the shredding of the dark golden waning moon, unable to cause any damage to Chu Mu.
"This time, I will only use this sword." Yan Jiuyou sheathed his sword, "Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly, I hope you won't disappoint me."
Saying so, Yan Jiuyou turned around and flew in the other direction.
"What a powerful Sword Dao." Looking at Yan Jiuyou's back, Chu Mu secretly said.
It was said that the true power of the Sword Dao could only be displayed when the Sword Dao manifested. Before that, the power of the Sword Dao wasn't particularly strong.
Chu Mu knew that Yan Jiuyou hadn't used his true strength in that sword attack just now. Similarly, Chu Mu also hadn't used his true strength. Moon Severing was just the weakest move among all his sword skills.
That sword attack was just a test from Yan Jiuyou against Chu Mu.
"Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly, let's fight again." Chu Mu muttered to himself, turned around and flew away quickly.
"I must participate in the Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly." The other swordsmen secretly said as they clenched their fists to express their determination.
However, when they thought of Chu Mu and Yan Jiuyou, they felt discouraged. It seemed that there was no comparison.
However, there was still more than a year left. Maybe in the next year or so, they would be able to advance by leaps and bounds. The Central Main Sword Domain was full of opportunities and fortuitous encounters.
The Unparalleled Sword Venerable Assembly was destined to attract the attention of countless Sword Venerables and make their hearts beat faster.
Everything would be revealed one year and four months later. Who would be unparalleled in the world! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
