"He's … dead …"
The head that was rolling in mid-air attracted the attention of countless swordsmen. It also attracted the full attention of the dozens of consciousnesses that were circling in mid-air. They were all stunned.
Just when they thought that Chu Mu was going to lose, Chu Mu made a shocking comeback. He used reality to tell them that he was going to win this battle!
As his body converted into white light, Chu Mu appeared on his seat. His depleted sword origin and spiritual awareness were all recovered. The Extreme Ice Swordmaster also appeared on his seat. As he looked at Chu Mu, his gaze was cold and filled with a strong sense of unwillingness.
Under normal circumstances, Chu Mu should have been "killed" by her. But the result was the opposite. This made the Extreme Ice Swordmaster unable to accept it. That was because in her heart, Chu Mu was not as powerful as her.
Chu Mu did not bother about the gaze of the Extreme Ice Swordmaster. Instead, he was thinking about the battle just now. The difference in their powers was too obvious, causing him to be suppressed by the Extreme Ice Swordmaster. If it was another top swordmaster, he would have been defeated by the Extreme Ice Swordmaster in less than three moves.
At the last moment, he used the Inverted Space Step twice to avoid the attack of the Extreme Ice Swordmaster's Icy Frost Ring. Only then did he grab the best opportunity to use the Steel Slashing Sword Technique to destroy the Extreme Ice Swordmaster's Icy Frost Armor before killing him.
In terms of timing, even a slight difference in the outcome would have led to a different outcome.
It could be said that besides not using the Dual Sword Mantra and the Heaven-Burying Secret Sword, Chu Mu had already used his full strength.
"This person's swordplay has shocked me once again."
"Yes, I thought that his swordplay was already shocking enough. I did not expect him to hold back. He actually has such a frightening swordplay that is comparable to other sword techniques."
"I thought of a legend …"
Suddenly, the consciousnesses of the swordsmen became silent. Obviously, they knew about the legend. But a legend was ultimately a legend. It was an unproven fantasy.
"His swordplay is divine …"
"That is ultimately a fantasy …"
"No, since there is a legend, there must be someone who can do it. It's just that we don't know who and when."
"Don't tell me you think that Chu Mu can reach the level of divine swordplay?"
"Maybe it's possible, maybe not possible."
It was a legend that swordsmanship could reach divinity. Since ancient times, some Sword Saints had spent a lot of time studying it, but they were still unable to do so.
Legend had it that only the Sword God was capable of doing so.
However, in the Ancient Sword Continent, Sword God was just a title. It had never appeared in legends.
The Sword Saints' divine senses fell silent again. Although they were talking, they didn't think that Chu Mu could reach the level of Godlike Swordsmanship, even if the swordsmanship he displayed was so profound.
"Let's not talk about his sword skills. Did you all notice the profoundness that this child comprehended?"
"One is a mutation of the Metal profound. It should be a very high-level profound. The other is even more powerful than the True and False profound. The last one is the rare Space profound."
"If that old man in the void knows about this, he might just rush out and forcefully take him in as a disciple."
The Sword Saints were shocked by Chu Mu's swordsmanship. Almost every one of them decided that if they were to become Chu Mu's opponent, they couldn't let Chu Mu get close to them no matter what.
"The power of his close-combat swordplay is shocking. That unknown footwork is also very mysterious. He's really a tough opponent."
Many of the Sword Saints felt their heads hurt. This was because they simulated a battle between themselves and Chu Mu. In the end, they realized that it was very difficult to finish off Chu Mu in a short period of time. Chu Mu's ability to dodge was too shocking.
If they couldn't finish off Chu Mu in a short period of time, it meant that Chu Mu could get close to them. Once Chu Mu got close to them, the Extreme Ice Swordmaster had already explained the consequences to everyone.
"His powers are at the level of an elite Sword Saint, but his close-combat skills are at the level of an Ultimate Sword Saint. Maybe only the top ten Sword Saints can really suppress him."
After the sixth round of battles ended, the seventh round started. For Jue Wudao and the rest, they had already been eliminated and became spectators.
There were a total of 157 Sword Saints who advanced to the seventh round. One of them was destined to get a bye. The remaining 156 Sword Saints would fight 78 battles. The losers would be eliminated and the winners would advance to the eighth round.
In this round of battles, Chu Mu became a spectator. No one knew whether it was because the Sword Saints were taking care of him or because of his luck, but he got a bye.
In the seventh round of battles, the top ten Sword Saint cultivators didn't encounter each other. It could be seen that this was a selective battle and not truly random. Otherwise, the top ten Sword Saint cultivators wouldn't have encountered each other even once in the seventh round.
The last round was always the best. No one had any opinions about this. Maybe they were used to leaving the most powerful Sword Saints to fight at the end.
With regards to Chu Mu being able to advance to the eighth round, many Sword Saints were envious and jealous. They felt that he was too lucky.
There were a total of 79 Sword Saints who advanced to the eighth round, which meant that another Sword Saint would be lucky enough to get a bye. The other Sword Saints would have to fight 39 battles.
The first battle of the eighth round began. One of the top ten Sword Saints, Sword Saint Xiaolou, Lou Xiaolou, would fight against another Ultimate Sword Saint called Dong Muye.
So far, Lou Xiaolou hadn't shown much of his strength. He hadn't used his Ultimate Sword Way either because he didn't have a strong enough opponent. As for Dong Muye, he hadn't shown his true strength either. It made people feel like they couldn't see through him.
Therefore, the two of them fighting was more or less exciting.
Without saying anything, he attacked directly. It was a probing attack from the beginning. He used a sword technique that wasn't powerful but was fast.
After fighting for a few breaths, it seemed that they were evenly matched.
"You're quite capable. Have a taste of my Ultimate Sword Way." Lou Xiaolou smiled faintly.
"I'll let you have a taste of my Boundless Sword Way too." Dong Muye replied.
Most of the ten thousand Sword Saints who participated in the Unparalleled Sword Saint Gathering didn't receive any Sword Way inheritance. Sword Way inheritance wasn't something that could be obtained from the mainland. It wasn't something that could be obtained just because one wanted to.
It didn't mean that swordsmen who received Sword Way inheritance were stronger than those who didn't. It was just a relative term.
But no matter what, under most circumstances, those who obtained the inheritance of the Sword Dao would often be able to go further and obtain greater strength.
Lou Xiaolou versus Dong Muye. It was a clash between the Ultimate Sword Way and the Boundless Sword Way.
Fight!
"Sword Way Manifestation!"
Behind Lou Xiaolou, there seemed to be the embryonic form of a Boundless Small World, while behind Dong Muye, there was a vast expanse of heaven and earth. That was a sign that they had comprehended their respective sword arts to a certain extent.
Sword Way Manifestation!
As a veteran Sword Saint and one of the top ten Sword Saints, it was impossible for them to not have comprehended Sword Way to the Sword Way Manifestation.
A terrifying aura spread out. Even with the seal of the Ten-Thousand Battle Platform, the Sword Saints in the seats could still feel it.
The Ultimate Sword Way had no beginning and no end. Only the Ultimate Sword Way existed eternally. The Boundless Sword Way was vast and boundless.
It was a clash between people, swords, and Sword Way.
In terms of Sword Origin cultivation, Lou Xiaolou and Dong Muye were actually on par. In terms of the power of their sword techniques, they also seemed to be on par with each other. In terms of battle experience, it could be said that they were evenly matched. The only way to determine the winner was to see how much they had comprehended their respective Sword Ways.
Sword Way Manifestation was still divided into different levels.
However, the two of them were really evenly matched. The battle was unusually intense. They each had their own means and were equally matched.
"Dong Muye is so strong. It seems that he's qualified to be one of the top ten Sword Saints."
"Don't be silly. The top ten Sword Saints represent ten people."
"If he defeats Lou Xiaolou, Dong Muye will be one of the top ten Sword Saints."
"Dong Muye is strong, but how can he defeat Lou Xiaolou?"
"Now that they're evenly matched, it's hard to say who will win. Let's wait and see."
The other nine Sword Venerables, who were also part of the top ten Sword Venerables, were also watching the battle attentively. Lou Xiaolou's strength was not much different from theirs. Since Dong Muye was able to fight Lou Xiaolou to this extent, it was enough to prove that Dong Muye was strong enough to make them take him seriously.
At the thought of this, some of the Honorable Swordsmen looked at Wu Ping. This Honorable Swordsmen had an ordinary name and an ordinary appearance. Just like Dong Muye, no one could see through him. They wondered if he was as strong as Dong Muye.
The battle between Lou Xiaolou and Dong Muye was unusually intense. The Ultimate Sword Way and the Boundless Sword Way continued to collide. Terrifying energy raged in the Ten-Thousand Battle Platform. Fortunately, the platform was not ordinary. Otherwise, it would have been destroyed by the impact.
After a long battle, both Lou Xiaolou and Dong Muye used secret techniques to temporarily increase their strength.
Even if they died in the Ten-Thousand Battle Platform, they would recover once they were outside. Therefore, although there were repercussions from using secret techniques, they would disappear quickly. Killing the opponent was the most important thing.
Under the secret techniques, Lou Xiaolou and Dong Muye's strength increased exponentially. The battle became even more intense. It was a visual feast for the eyes of the Sword Saints.
"Die!" After a long battle, Dong Muye took a blow in exchange for Lou Xiaolou's life. He broke out and cut Lou Xiaolou in half. As for himself, his left arm and shoulder were cut off by Lou Xiaolou.
"Dong Muye won!"
"Dong Muye is ranked among the top ten Sword Saints."
"I can't say that Dong Muye is stronger than Lou Xiaolou, but there is no doubt that he won."
"Next time, I will win it back." Lou Xiaolou's face did not show any signs of depression. His defeat did not make him feel bad. He was very determined.
Then again, if they were to fight again, it would be hard to predict who would win in the end. Dong Muye was not confident that he would win.
The battles continued, and the other nine Honorable Swordsmen did not meet each other. Wu Ping, who could not be seen through, steadily defeated his opponent and successfully advanced to the ninth round. His fighting style was obviously different from Dong Muye's.
One battle after another, the thirty-ninth battle was soon over. One of the contestants had a bye. It was Chu Mu.
"This guy actually advanced to the ninth round."
"He's so lucky."
"It's not necessarily luck. But he definitely won't be able to win next." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
