A large number of swordsmen had gathered in a battle arena in the middle of the Sky Edge Sword Palace, forming two distinct camps.
On one side were swordsmen from the Archean World, numbering over ten thousand. On the other side were swordsmen from the nine continents. Most of them came from the Archean Sword Continent, while a small portion came from the other eight continents. There were only around a thousand swordsmen in total.
The two camps stood opposite each other. Every swordsman gave off a sharp aura that surged and clashed with each other. They glared at each other angrily, showing signs of a major conflict.
It could be foreseen that once a major conflict erupted, the swordsmen from the Archean World would crush the swordsmen from the nine continents with an overwhelming advantage. This was because the two sides had more than ten times the number of people. Moreover, the swordsmen from the Archean World held the advantage in terms of individual strength.
Even though they were at a disadvantage, the swordsmen from the nine continents were determined not to take even half a step back. This was a conflict between the swordsmen from the nine continents and the swordsmen from the Archean World. Retreating was equivalent to admitting defeat.
Even if they were heavily injured and viciously trampled, they would not back down.
"A bumpkin will always be a bumpkin. What right do you have to compare yourself to us?" A swordsman from the Archean World's camp sneered loudly.
"That's right. Just like that Chu Mu. He thinks that he's a little more talented and has a little more outstanding, so he's arrogant and conceited. He doesn't know his place and actually dares to boast about challenging lord Sikong Zhan. He's just asking to be humiliated," another swordsman said loudly. His voice was filled with disdain. His words immediately elicited mocking laughter from many other Immemorial Swordsmen.
"You're just jealous. Chu Mu can go from having never touched energy control to reaching the advanced-level in just a little more than a month. Can that Sikong Zhan you speak of do that?" A swordsman from the Archean Sword Continent immediately retorted.
"That's right. Not only can Chu Mu reach the advanced-level in just a little more than a month, his strength has also increased by leaps and bounds in such a short amount of time, passing the sixth stage of the Golem Sword Array. Can any of you compare to him at such a speed of improvement? Can that Sikong Zhan you speak of do that? "Another swordsman from the Archean Sword Continent roared.
Unknowingly, Chu Mu became the idol of the swordsmen of Ancient Sword Continent.
This was also because in their original world, they were all at the elite level and were treated like heaven's chosen. But after coming to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, they suffered all sorts of disdain and setbacks. Chu Mu's rise was absolutely domineering, and he became a beacon in their hearts.
The recent conflicts were all caused by Chu Mu.
"I admit that Chu Mu does have some ability, but what right does he have to be compared to Minister of Public Works?"
As the number one official disciple, Sikong Zhan still had many admirers. It was unknown how many people wanted to become his followers.
"Cut the crap. If you have the ability, then call Chu Mu over and let him compete with Minister of Public Works' third general. The third general will let you know how weak the Chu Mu you worship is."
As soon as these words were spoken, the gazes of many people shifted to the Sword Battle Arena. A man stood there with a tall and mighty figure. He stood ramrod straight, like a huge sword that was stabbed into the ground. He emitted a domineering and fierce aura.
He was the third general of Sikong Zhan's thirteen generals.
Previously, the swordsmen from the Archean Sword Continent had all been defeated by the third general in one strike. Even Su Haosha, who had obtained the glory of unparalleled combat strength, was not a match for the third general. In just three strikes, Su Haosha was defeated.
It could be said that no one present was a match for the third general.
It was also because of this that Jiang Chuan hurriedly went to find Chu Mu. He felt that this matter had to be handled by Chu Mu.
Not long after, Chu Mu and Jiang Chuan walked over with large strides.
At the same time, a figure flew over, leaping over the crowd and onto the arena.
"I've come to challenge you," the person said coldly, a light flashing in his eyes.
"It's him."
"Fan Bufan …"
"Can Fan Bufan defeat the third general?"
Fan Bufan suddenly appeared on the arena, facing the third general from afar. Chu Mu also told Jiang Chuan to keep quiet and approach the crowd. At this moment, everyone's attention was attracted by the two people on the arena, so no one noticed Chu Mu's arrival.
"You're called Fan Bufan? I heard that you're the only person in the nine continents to obtain three unparalleled honors. That means you're the most powerful person in the nine continents, "the third general said slowly with an indifferent expression.
"That's right," Fan Bufan admitted bluntly.
"Is that so?" A trace of mockery flashed across the third general's face, "Why do I feel that Chu Mu's reputation is much greater than yours?"
"He is him, and I am me. I will defeat him and let everyone understand that I'm the most powerful person in the nine continents," Fan Bufan's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness as he took a deep breath and said.
"Draw your sword," the third general said with a trace of mockery on his lips, "Otherwise, you won't have the chance to draw your sword."
Fan Bufan did not decline modestly. The third general was a powerful opponent that gave him an inexplicable pressure.
Sword Light flashed as he unsheathed his sword. It was like an aurora streaking across the sky. His body shot out like an arrow leaving the bow, straight and straight, piercing towards the third general at an extremely fast speed.
When the sword approached the third general's protective sword aura, sword intent was injected into the sword, instantly piercing through the third general's protective sword aura. It pierced towards the third general at an even faster speed. When the tip of the sword was an inch away from the third general's throat, Sword Origin and Profound Meaning were injected into it, instantly erupting.
The shocking whistling sound was extremely ear-piercing.
Su Haosha and the others were stunned. A trace of astonishment also flashed across the third general's eyes. He did not expect Fan Bufan to have cultivated his power control to such a level. This was a level that many Immemorial Sword Practitioners would need five to six years of hard work to achieve.
No wonder he was the winner of three unparalleled honors. He was indeed extraordinary.
Fan Bufan's sword intent and Profound Meaning had already reached perfection. The martial arts he cultivated was a mid-grade Heaven Level martial arts. His Sword Origin had been refined time and time again, becoming extremely pure. He had already reached the peak of the Complete Origin Realm.
Now that he had cultivated his power control, he could unleash even more power. Every sword strike did not seem as powerful as a sword skill, but its power was not inferior to any of the sword skills he had mastered.
All in all, Fan Bufan's strength was even more powerful. This gave him a lot of confidence, and was also the reason why he came here to challenge the third general. He wanted to defeat the third general and let everyone know that he, Fan Bufan, was the real powerful person, and that he was the true genius.
The third general's strength was extraordinary. He reacted quickly and quickly retreated, pulling away from Fan Bufan's sword.
Under the explosion of power control, Fan Bufan immediately took advantage of the fact that his sword missed. His sword stabbed forward, faster and more accurate.
The third general attacked with his sword. In an instant, his sword pierced through the sky like lightning, but the sound was very weak.
The third general's sword was even faster than Fan Bufan's sword. With a swing of his sword, he slashed towards Fan Bufan's neck. If Fan Bufan insisted on thrusting his sword out, his neck would be cut by the third general's sword first.
Making a prompt decision, Fan Bufan quickly shifted his footsteps. He controlled his power and turned into an afterimage. The third general's sword narrowly passed through Fan Bufan's afterimage.
Fan Bufan's body turned and flicked like a boneless dragon snake. His sword stabbed out again, increasing its speed as it stabbed towards the third general's heart.
This sword was different from the previous one. It was much more tricky.
All the swordsmen's attention was completely attracted. The third general was slightly surprised as he forcefully twisted his body to avoid the attack. He swept his sword horizontally, wanting to cut Fan Bufan's body in half.
Fan Bufan changed his sword moves again.
Fan Bufan displayed his talent. His sword was either upright, crafty, soft and powerless, or firm and fierce. In short, in his battle with the third war general, Fan Bufan displayed a variety of different sword styles. Each style was targeted at a specific situation, bringing out the full potential of his sword.
"As expected of the Sky Sword Continent's heaven's pride." Behind the crowd, Chu Mu nodded inwardly: "His sword style is varied and adaptable. His control of the environment and the enemy's reaction are all on point. With such talent, given enough time, he will definitely shine in the Sky Edge Sword Palace."
Chu Mu did not dare to talk about the immemorial world because it was simply too big. There were countless geniuses there. Even he did not have the confidence to shine in the immemorial world, let alone Fan Bufan who was inferior to him.
If Fan Bufan knew of Chu Mu's thoughts, he would definitely turn around and fight with Chu Mu.
Fan Bufan's fighting style was varied and adaptable, allowing the third general to constantly dodge and counterattack.
The third general's fighting style was rather simple, belonging to the steady and steady type. He was most proficient in fighting force with force, using absolute power and tyrannical aura to defeat the enemy. Encountering an opponent like Fan Bufan, he felt somewhat helpless for a moment.
However, the third general was not ordinary either. To be able to be taken in as a follower by Sikong Zhan, his talent was much better than ordinary swordsmen. Adding the environment of the immemorial world and Sikong Zhan's guidance, in terms of absolute strength, the third general was only above Fan Bufan.
Soon, after dodging a dozen of Fan Bufan's attacks, the third general had adapted to Fan Bufan's fighting style. His body stood on the spot without moving an inch as he waved his sword. It became slow and heavy. Every sword carried a terrifying sword wind and sword pressure, forcing Fan Bufan to dodge again and again.
Finding an opportunity, the third general waved his sword. It looked very slow, but in reality, it exploded with speed in an instant. Fan Bufan was startled and could not dodge in time. He hurriedly raised his sword to block.
When the third general's sword was about to touch Fan Bufan's sword, he poured in his power and then exploded. With a boom, Fan Bufan's body flew out, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he landed on the stage.
"He is only one step away from entering the immemorial realm. This third general's strength is definitely within the top hundred official disciples." Chu Mu's pupils shrunk as he thought to himself.
