The sword was like a stream of light, extremely fast and silent. It was so fast that the spectating swordsmen did not even have time to react. Using the initial level of control over his strength, Sword Essence, Sword Intent, and Mountain Shaking Energy instantly merged into the eight Desolate Sky Swords. The moment it touched the head of the Sword Puppet on the left, a terrifying power exploded.
The spectators only saw an unbelievably fast and weak Sword Light flash before their eyes. Before they could recover their vision, they heard a shocking explosion.
With a bang, the head of the Sword Puppet on the left exploded into pieces that shot in all directions. With a flash of light, the arm of the Sword Puppet on the right flew high into the air.
Simple, direct, and violent!
Chu Mu used such a method to quickly pass through the first trial. This caused the spectating swordsmen's eyes to suddenly light up and their hearts to involuntarily beat wildly.
"So fast!"
"Such terrifying power!"
The spectating swordsmen all exclaimed. The strength that Chu Mu displayed was much stronger than the dozens of swordsmen who had attempted the sword formation.
"Maybe he can pass through the second trial and enter the third."
After passing the first trial, Chu Mu quickly entered the second trial. The two swordsmen who had been injured in the first trial quickly recovered under a strange power, as if they had never been injured.
As soon as he entered the second trial, Chu Mu immediately felt an enormous pressure, which was double that of the first trial.
The second trial of the Sword Puppet Formation: Tripartite Sword Formation.
The Tripartite Sword Formation was divided into Heaven, Earth, and Man. It could also be up, down, front, middle, back, and so on. It was even more exquisite than the first trial's Yin-Yang Sword Formation.
The three Sword Puppets immediately launched an attack at Chu Mu. Their swords stabbed and waved. Their speed was fast, and their auras were small. When they were an inch away from Chu Mu, they poured their power into them and exploded, causing their speed to explosively increase. The terrifying sword pressure caused the air in front of them to be pushed aside, creating a vacuum.
Whether or not he could dodge was relative. The dozens of swordsmen before were unable to dodge the attacks of the three Sword Puppets because their overall strength was not enough. Even though Chu Mu did not see the Sword Puppets' attacks with his own eyes, his incomparably powerful mind allowed him to clearly know the trajectories of the three Sword Puppets' attacks, and thus he could accurately dodge them.
Just by shifting his feet slightly, the three terrifying Sword Light brushed past him. It seemed that he was very lucky.
The interest of the surrounding swordsmen was piqued. They all stared with wide eyes at Chu Mu who was in the sword formation.
"This is a good opportunity. Quickly counterattack."
"Dodge, quickly dodge …"
Many swordsmen clenched their fists and roared. It was as if they had become Chu Mu.
However, Chu Mu, who was inside the sword formation, could not hear their shouts, nor could he see their figures. This was because the sword formation seemed to be a separate place. Moreover, his mind was completely focused on the sword formation.
In the eyes of the other swordsmen, there were some places where Chu Mu could immediately counterattack after dodging. However, Chu Mu, who was in the middle of them, felt differently. After dodging, there was indeed a chance to counterattack, but the timing was not suitable. This was because as soon as he counterattacked, he would immediately be hit. Even if he did not fly out of the sword formation, he would still be injured, which was not beneficial for the next stage.
The difficulty of the second stage of the Puppet Sword Formation was much higher than that of the first stage.
Chu Mu had also done some research on sword formations, but it was only at the beginner level. Now that he was challenging the Puppet Sword Formation, it was also a chance for him to have a deeper understanding of sword formations.
Dodging and blocking, Chu Mu shuttled back and forth within the Tripartite Sword Formation like a fish. Although the range was small, he was very flexible and agile, which gave people a visual pleasure.
After about ten breaths, Chu Mu roughly grasped the trajectory of the three Sword Puppets' swords and so on.
The Tripartite Sword Formation was more exquisite than the Yin-Yang Sword Formation, but there was still a limit. With Chu Mu's strong spiritual will and comprehension, as well as his personal experience, he quickly understood it.
With a slight sway of his body, three Sword Light swept past Chu Mu's body. Chu Mu drew his sword at lightning speed and slashed at the Sword Puppet in front of him. He poured his power into it and exploded. The power of the Realm Expert was once again displayed.
Under the power of the Mountain Shaking Energy, the Sword Puppet's neck was cut off, and its head was shattered into pieces by the terrifying vibrating power.
The two Sword Puppets attacked again. In the eyes of other swordsmen, the two swords were moving at the same speed and would fall on Chu Mu at the same time. However, in Chu Mu's perception, there was a difference between the two swords.
Taking advantage of the situation, he turned around and slashed down. Under the power of the Ripping Profound, the second Sword Puppet's head was split open, and it lost the ability to attack. He lifted his foot and kicked the third Sword Puppet, causing it to sway and the sword to deviate from its target. Chu Mu's sword flicked upwards, cutting off the arm of the third Sword Puppet that was holding the sword. He then sheathed his sword.
From the moment Chu Mu unsheathed his sword to the moment he sheathed it, everyone only saw a not so dazzling sword light streak through the air. Left, right, down, down, and up, it formed a nearly perfect arc. The three Sword Puppets all lost their ability to move, and they stood lifelessly in place, motionless.
After passing the second stage, Chu Mu proceeded to the third stage.
In the third stage, there were four Sword Puppets standing in the four directions. Their swords were in their sheaths, waiting to be unsheathed.
The third stage of the Sword Puppet Formation was the Sword Formation of Four Symbols.
As soon as Chu Mu entered the third stage, he appeared in the center of the sword formation. The eyes of the four Sword Puppets lit up, emitting a fiery red, aqua blue, light green, and wood green light respectively. Their right hands moved at the same time, unsheathing their swords and slashing out.
The four Sword Puppets not only had Sword Yuan at the peak of the Complete Origin Realm, they also had Complete Sword Intent and Complete Profound Power. They were Fire Profound, Water Profound, Gold Profound, and Wood Profound respectively.
The Azure Dragon was Wood, the White Tiger was Wind, the Vermillion Bird was Fire, and the Black Tortoise was Water.
Different profound auras were emitted from the four Sword Puppets. When each sword was an inch away from Chu Mu, the Sword Yuan, Sword Intent, and Profound Power would all explode.
The swiftness of the wind, the fierceness of the fire, the continuous flow of the water, and the tenacity of the wood.
Four swords, four different attacks. Under the control of power, each of them released their own terrifying power. With the coordination of the Sword Formation of Four Symbols, the power was even more obvious.
Chu Mu, who was in the middle of it, instantly felt the danger, giving him a feeling that he had nowhere to run.
The power of the Sword Formation of Four Symbols was far superior to the Three Talents Sword Formation, at least two times stronger.
Don't underestimate the increase of two times. Although it didn't sound like much, the difference was huge.
The Sword Formation of Four Symbols made Chu Mu feel the real pressure. One hundred Tianfeng Coins was not that easy to earn.
Chu Mu released his Spiritual Sense and raised his perception to the extreme. Everything around him was clearly captured by Chu Mu. The trajectories of the swords of the four Sword Puppets appeared in Chu Mu's perception.
It was faster than light and faster than lightning. Chu Mu's thoughts spun quickly. He immediately used the trajectories of the four swords to deduce where the four swords would land and the various possible changes.
Xiao Chen drew his sword and drew a circle in front of him. At the same time, his left foot took a step to the left. Following that, his right foot took a small step to the right. Xiao Chen turned around and charged at Chu Mu's four swords. He knocked away one of them and dodged the other three.
When the four Sword Puppets' swords missed, they quickly moved, changing their positions and attacking again. The intervals between their attacks were extremely short, making it impossible for Chu Mu to find an opportunity to counterattack.
Outside the Sword Formation of Four Symbols, the number of spectators increased from the original one thousand to over two thousand. All of them stared at Chu Mu, who was inside the Sword Formation of Four Symbols. They did not blink, afraid that they would miss out on any exciting moment.
"If he can clear the third stage, his strength will definitely be in the top ten thousand among the official disciples."
The top ten thousand might sound like a lot, but one should not forget that there were more than two million official disciples in the Sky Edge Sword Palace.
These top ten thousand disciples were all famous existences in the Sky Edge Sword Palace.
The same level of control over power could be different due to the different profoundness that was fused into it.
Fused with the profoundness of metal, the sharpness was astonishing. Fused with the profoundness of wind, the speed was faster. Fused with the profoundness of fire, the explosive power was stronger. Fused with the profoundness of water, the attacks were endless …
The four Sword Puppets under the Four Symbols Sword Formation had different movement methods, different profoundness, and different attacking methods. They combined together in a nearly perfect way. They coordinated well and strengthened each other. Every time they attacked, Chu Mu had to be completely focused in order to block and dodge and find an opportunity to counterattack.
More and more spectators gathered outside, and soon, there were over three thousand.
"Isn't that person Chu Mu?" A swordsman who had just arrived looked and said with his eyes wide open.
"Chu Mu?"
"Could it be that swordsman who came from a small world and grasped the control of Boundary Realm power in just over a month?"
"That's right, it's him."
"Ever since this Chu Mu came to our Sky Edge Sword Palace, he has been in the limelight. Now, he's going to be famous again."
"How on earth did he cultivate? How could he cultivate his control of power to Boundary Realm in just over a month? And now, he can even pass the third stage of the Sword Puppet Formation … "
Ever since that swordsman called out Chu Mu's identity, a frenzy of discussion broke out among the swordsmen.
As the center of the discussion, Chu Mu didn't know anything. His mind was completely focused on the four Sword Puppets around him, carefully sensing every change in the Four Symbols Sword Formation and grasping for an opportunity to counterattack.
Opportunities were fleeting. Even if Chu Mu discovered them, the four Sword Puppets would immediately change their positions and attack again, giving Chu Mu a good opportunity to counterattack.
At this time, he couldn't be anxious. He had to maintain his heart and be extremely patient. All distracting thoughts were expelled, and his mind, energy, and spirit were highly coordinated, fusing into one. His mind was fully released, and in Chu Mu's mind, a simulation of the Four Symbols Sword Formation appeared.
The movements and swords of the four Sword Puppets were all reflected in Chu Mu's mind, allowing Chu Mu to perceive them even more clearly.
The mysteries of the Four Symbols Sword Formation slowly appeared in Chu Mu's mind. As he familiarized himself with it and comprehended it, the movements and attacks of the four Sword Puppets were no longer so unfathomable.
A powerful soul and comprehension once again brought benefits to Chu Mu.
"Here …" With a thought, Chu Mu was the first to react. As expected, the swords of the four Sword Puppets brushed past him at the angle that Chu Mu had thought of.
The time to counterattack had come. (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.)
