The battle between Chu Mu and Tao Fang ended with Chu Mu's overwhelming victory, leaving countless people in shock.
Chu Mu demonstrated the power of sword techniques to the Sword Venerables. It turned out that one could be so powerful without using sword techniques, defeating the strong as the weak and killing the strong.
However, after thinking about it carefully, the Sword Venerables felt that they couldn't do what Chu Mu did. That kind of sword technique was unfathomable, and only that kind of sword technique could reach such a level.
Of course, the Sword Venerables were shocked, but they wouldn't change their path. They were very clear and firm about their path, so they wouldn't change it easily. Moreover, the path of sword techniques wasn't that easy to walk.
Chu Mu stood calmly in his seat, not saying a word. He was recalling the battle just now in his mind. He wanted to see if he could have done it more perfectly as a spectator.
As for Tao Fang, he had an ugly expression and was somewhat dejected.
In terms of sword techniques, he was defeated by Chu Mu in a single strike. Now, in terms of overall strength, he was still defeated by Chu Mu. Was it because he didn't have a chance to show his true strength?
Excuses, those were all excuses. The real reason was that he wasn't strong enough.
If he was strong enough, he would naturally be able to deal with Chu Mu's attacks. He would naturally be able to pull away from Chu Mu and kill Chu Mu with his sword techniques.
There were no ifs. If he wasn't strong enough, he would only be defeated.
"If he had the strength of a peak Sword Venerable, perhaps he could contend with an Ultimate Sword Venerable." The Sword Venerables' divine wills collided and discussed. So far, Chu Mu hadn't shown the strength of a peak Sword Venerable in two battles. The Sword Venerables weren't strong enough to see through Chu Mu's true strength with a single glance.
The shock gradually died down, and the battles continued.
There were five thousand people in the second round, so there were a total of two thousand five hundred battles. After that, the third round began immediately.
The first battle of the third round ushered in a climax, because the two Sword Venerables in this battle both had the strength of an Ultimate Sword Venerable.
It could be said that this battle was the first clash between Ultimate Sword Venerables.
"Just how strong is the Ultimate Sword Lord? Let me see for myself." Chu Mu muttered to himself as a glint flashed across his eyes.
These two Sword Venerables knew each other and seemed to have had some conflicts in the past. After they mocked each other for a while, they drew their swords and attacked with all their might.
The swordsmen of the Ancient Sword Continent all had the same fighting style. When they didn't have any sword skills, they would often use all sorts of sword techniques to fight. For example, when Chu Mu was still in the Sword Qi realm, he would use the Breeze Swordsmanship and other sword techniques. Only when the time was right would he use the ultimate sword moves of his sword techniques.
When the swordsmen gradually became stronger and those sword techniques were no longer suitable, they would abandon those sword techniques and focus on sword techniques. When they were in close combat, they would use sword techniques as support.
The moment the two Sword Sovereigns attacked, Chu Mu's heart shook. Their sword techniques were very powerful. Chu Mu shot towards himself to replace one of them, but he was unable to resist the might of the sword techniques.
"He has comprehended at least ninety percent sword intent!" Chu Mu muttered to himself. He was still shaken.
Ninety percent sword intent was much stronger than Chu Mu's current sword intent. Adding on the profound, his comprehension was much deeper than Chu Mu's. The combined might of these two sword techniques was even more terrifying.
Of course, if it were Chu Mu, he wouldn't be so foolish as to take it head-on.
When the sword came out, the sword technique roared. The sword light tore through the air, unstoppable.
The collision of sword techniques turned into surging energy waves that wreaked havoc in all directions. The Myriad Battle Platform's seal flickered with all sorts of lights as the energy waves dispersed.
It was as if the sea was roaring, the heavenly river was upside down, and the stars were chasing after the moon.
"Kill!"
"Die!"
The two Sword Sovereigns roared. After using their sword techniques, they approached each other. Their swords collided with boundless momentum and stabbed out at tricky angles.
Sparks flew as an ear-piercing sound reverberated. The sound waves wreaked havoc.
As the sword techniques collided, they looked for an opportunity to use their sword techniques.
There were strong and weak sword skills, and there were also close-range and long-range attacks. Weak sword skills were not necessarily useless. The key was to grasp the timing and use the environment. Only a suitable sword skill would be able to unleash the strongest power.
These two Sword Sovereigns had rich battle experience and deeply understood the timing. Therefore, they used their sword techniques when they were close to each other. Occasionally, they would use weak but fast sword techniques to attack each other. They wanted to make each other reveal flaws.
Their strength and experience were equal. The battle was intense.
The Sword Sovereigns in the seats outside the Myriad Battle Platform were immersed in the battle.
Fifteen minutes passed, and the battle between the two Ultimate Sword Sovereigns continued.
Under such circumstances, the battle would probably end in a draw. However, on the Myriad Battle Platform, only life and death could be determined.
In the end, one Sword Sovereign was severely injured and the other died.
The second battle was between Lie Mountain Sword Sovereign, Lie Mountain Tiger, and the other Ultimate Sword Sovereign.
Lie Mountain Tiger was recognized as one of the top ten Sword Sovereigns. However, until now, he hadn't displayed his true strength. Therefore, no one knew how strong he was.
"Lie Mountain Tiger, I will use my strength to tell you that you are not one of the top ten Sword Sovereigns." Lie Mountain Tiger's opponent, the Ultimate Sword Sovereign, said. As an Ultimate Sword Sovereign, it was inevitable that he would be dissatisfied and jealous if he wasn't listed as one of the top ten Sword Sovereigns.
"Make your move." Lie Mountain Tiger's gaze was as if he was looking at a jumping clown.
Su Haosha and the others smiled. Within their smiles, there was a trace of disdain. The top ten Sword Sovereigns were recognized, and only they knew how strong they were.
Among all the Sword Sovereigns present, only they could compete with the other top ten Sword Sovereigns. There might be exceptions, but they were very rare.
"Heavenly Dragon Slash!" The Sword Sovereign was furious. He felt that he was being looked down upon. Under his anger, he used his sword.
The roar of a dragon was heard as the sword slashed down. Vaguely, it was as if a flood dragon broke through the sky, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. With a domineering attitude, it rushed towards Lie Mountain Tiger.
Lie Mountain Tiger didn't move an inch, allowing the flood dragon to rush towards him. A faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth. "The power is not bad, but … it's still too weak …"
As his voice fell, the flood dragon was already halfway through. In the blink of an eye, it would hit Lie Mountain Tiger.
"First move, Tiger Swallows the Dragon!" Lie Mountain Tiger's voice was like a tiger roaring in the forest. He slashed out with his sword. In an instant, a ferocious tiger jumped out from the void and rushed towards the flood dragon in the air. It opened its mouth and swallowed the flood dragon into its stomach.
The ferocious tiger expanded in the air and became even bigger and more ferocious. It fell from the sky and clawed at the Sword Sovereign.
The Sword Sovereign was stunned. He had never seen his sword technique being defeated like this. It was actually swallowed. What was going on?
As the ferocious tiger fell, its claws tore the Sword Sovereign's body apart. Blood splattered everywhere as the Sword Sovereign turned into white light and disappeared.
After the ferocious tiger landed, it let out a roar. The fur on its body opened up. It was very lifelike, as if it was a real tiger from ancient times.
After three breaths, the ferocious tiger collapsed. It was formed by Lie Mountain Tiger's sword energy, sword intent, and profound power. It was not a real tiger with flesh and blood.
"So powerful!"
"He is also an Ultimate Sword Sovereign, but he defeated his opponent so easily."
"This Lie Mountain Tiger is indeed one of the top ten Sword Sovereigns. His strength is so terrifying. I don't have any confidence in winning against him." One of the Ultimate Sword Sovereigns exclaimed.
Chu Mu's pupils shrank rapidly. He was shocked by the tip of the iceberg of strength that Lie Mountain Tiger had shown.
With his eyesight, he could often see a lot of information from the details. For example, the move "Tiger Swallows the Dragon" used by Lie Mountain Tiger just now was not a sword technique.
The reason why Lie Mountain Tiger called it "Tiger Swallows the Dragon" was probably just a bad joke. The reason was that his opponent's sword technique was called the Sky Dragon Slash, and it had even formed a flood dragon to attack Lie Mountain Tiger.
Although it was not a sword technique, it was more powerful than many sword techniques. From this point, it could be seen that Lie Mountain Tiger's control of his own strength had reached a level that ordinary Sword Sovereigns could not reach.
He could control it as he wished!
Of course, this kind of sword technique could not be compared to the sword techniques that he had mastered. Those were the sword techniques that had been tempered over and over again. They were the truly powerful sword techniques.
How could Chu Mu not be shocked by the strength of a sword technique that he had mastered on the spot to defeat his opponent's sword technique?
"If it was an ordinary Ultimate Sword Sovereign, with my current strength, I might be able to fight him. But if it is an Ultimate Sword Sovereign like Lie Mountain Tiger, I am still far from being able to defeat him." Chu Mu thought to himself and let out a breath. Even he himself wasn't sure how many strikes he could take if he were to face an Ultimate Sword Venerable like Lie Shan Hu.
One strike? Two strikes? Or three strikes?
Without a fight, it was unknown. The only thing that he could be sure of was that he was absolutely no match for an Ultimate Sword Sovereign like Lie Mountain Tiger, even if he used all of his strength.
Thinking of this, Chu Mu did not feel frustrated. Instead, a fighting spirit grew in his heart, like a seed that was about to take root and germinate.
First place!
Of course, it was gratifying to be the first place. But after that, one would often lose their goal and need to find a new one. Now, Chu Mu knew that he could not be the first place, because there were at least five Sword Sovereigns who were stronger than him. Therefore, within a certain period of time, he only needed to surpass them. As for what would happen after that, it was a matter for the future. There was no need to think about it now.
"But before that, I need to fight with one of the top ten Sword Sovereigns. Only then can I know how big the gap is between me and them." Chu Mu clenched his fists and said to himself with a determined look. He only hoped that in the following battles, he could meet one of the top ten Sword Sovereigns. Even if he had to stop in the third round, it did not matter.
However, Chu Mu's wish was destined to fail.
In the third round, there were a total of 2,500 Sword Sovereigns fighting. When it was Chu Mu's turn, his opponent was also an Ultimate Sword Sovereign. Compared to Tao Fang, this Ultimate Sword Sovereign was slightly weaker. What was more unfortunate was that this Ultimate Sword Sovereign was good at close combat. If he encountered Chu Mu, his defeat was inevitable. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
