"Is that all of you? You're just a mob." On the stage, one of Nie Yingjie's followers sneered.
Lie Shanhu was defeated, and so was Ji Chengyu. A total of more than a dozen swordsmen went up the stage, but they were all easily defeated by Nie Yingjie's followers.
Each of Nie Yingjie's followers was very strong, and they could be ranked among the top ten thousand official disciples. Lie Shanhu and the others couldn't compare to them.
In the end, Ji Lingfeng also went up the stage, but he was still defeated.
Su Haosha didn't go up. He was the leader. Although everyone knew that Su Haosha would lose if he went up, not being defeated was a different feeling.
If Su Haosha went up and was defeated, it would be a huge blow to the Ancient Sword Union.
It was very likely that today's Ancient Sword Union Opening Ceremony would become a joke.
The members of the Ancient Sword Union had ashen faces. As for the surrounding swordsmen, some of them had a common enemy, and some of them were gloating from time to time.
Maybe the Ancient Sword Union Opening Ceremony would be a joke.
"Who else wants to fight with me?" One of Nie Yingjie's followers' eyes emitted a cold light as he swept his gaze across the crowd. His lips curled into a mocking smile, and all kinds of contempt and disdain were very obvious.
"Sorry, I was cultivating too much and forgot the time." A calm and gentle voice sounded, and Su Haosha immediately revealed an expression of ecstasy.
Everyone quickly turned around and saw a figure slowly walking over. It seemed very slow, but in fact, it was very fast. In the blink of an eye, it was already in front of them.
"Grand Elder, you're finally here." Su Haosha smiled.
"It's Chu Mu …"
"Chu Mu is the Ancient Sword Union's Grand Elder."
"Chu Mu is here, there's a good show to watch."
All kinds of discussions sounded out.
Nie Yingjie and the others naturally heard the discussions, and their gazes were all focused on Chu Mu.
Chu Mu's name was like thunder to everyone's ears.
"Finally, someone with some weight has come." One of Nie Yingjie's followers laughed and said, "Come, Ancient Sword Alliance's Supreme Elder Chu Mu, let me see your strength."
"You're not qualified." Chu Mu glanced at him and said indifferently.
The swordsmen of the Ancient Sword Alliance all felt a little better, while the other party's expression turned gloomy.
"You don't dare to." The voice became strange.
"I've already said that you're not qualified to fight me." Chu Mu said indifferently. His gaze shifted to Nie Yingjie's face. "Nie Yingjie, ranked fifth among the official disciples. Ancient Sword Alliance has just been established. Thank you for your gift."
"I've already prepared the gift. Let's see if you have the ability to accept it." Nie Yingjie sneered.
"Whether or not I have the strength, you will know very soon," Chu Mu said indifferently.
He even dared to challenge the first ranked Sikong Zhan, let alone the fifth ranked Nie Yingjie.
Moreover, his sword intent and tearing profound had been refined to the first revolution, and his sword art domain had also broken through to the fourth layer. His Mountain Shaking Energy's power had also increased. Chu Mu's overall strength had improved significantly.
"Very good, I'll wait for you." Nie Yingjie sneered. Chu Mu's recent fame was very loud, but Nie Yingjie didn't put him in his eyes. After all, he was ranked fifth among the two million official disciples.
"Sir, there's no need for you to do it yourself. We can do it for you," one of Nie Yingjie's followers said.
"Chu Mu, I'll give you a chance. If you want to fight me, you have to defeat my followers first," Nie Yingjie said with his hands behind his back.
Chu Mu didn't say anything. He walked towards Nie Yingjie's followers step by step.
"Come, let me see what kind of strength the recently famous person has." One of Nie Yingjie's followers jumped out and unsheathed his sword, thrusting it towards Chu Mu.
His vision blurred, and then a pain came from his abdomen. His whole body trembled, and he bent down like a prawn, kneeling on the ground. His sword fell from his hand, and his hands pressed on his abdomen. His face was pale, and sweat kept pouring out.
In that instant, many swordsmen didn't have time to react. Nie Yingjie's follower had already knelt on the ground.
Nie Yingjie's pupils shrank. In that instant, he saw Chu Mu and his follower pass each other. His follower's sword was dodged by Chu Mu, and Chu Mu's sword was still sheathed. He only used the tip of his sword to point at his follower's abdomen.
The three followers behind Nie Yingjie also moved. They unsheathed their swords and formed a line to attack Chu Mu. From their actions, one could see that they often cooperated with each other, and there was almost no blind spot.
However, when Chu Mu passed by them, their swords fell from their hands. Their hands pressed on their abdomen as they knelt on the ground, their faces pale and their bodies trembling.
"Can't take a single blow." Standing in front of Nie Yingjie, Chu Mu indifferently said.
Nie Yingjie's face was extremely ugly.
As the saying went, before beating a dog, one had to look at its master. Chu Mu had easily defeated his four followers in front of him, and he hadn't even unsheathed his sword. This made Nie Yingjie feel like he had lost face.
Looking around, he saw all kinds of proud and gloating eyes. Nie Yingjie felt a ball of anger burning in his chest.
Although angry, Nie Yingjie didn't lose his mind. He raised his guard against Chu Mu.
Without unsheathing his sword, just the tip of the sword was enough to defeat his four followers. This kind of method was very shocking.
"Nie Yingjie, do you plan to give the congratulatory gift now, or do you plan to give it after you're defeated by my sword?" Facing Nie Yingjie, Chu Mu spoke without mercy.
"Arrogant, take my sword!" Nie Yingjie angrily said. His right hand touched his waist. In an instant, a dazzling Sword Light swept out in an arc. The sword Nie Yingjie used was a flexible sword that was usually kept in his belt.
This sword was very sudden. Because Nie Yingjie's flexible sword was not unsheathed, it was always in his belt. People who didn't understand the situation would be caught off guard by his sudden sword.
Chu Mu's sword was also unsheathed.
Nie Yingjie's wrist turned. The flexible sword was like a spirit snake, but also like seaweed in the water. A dazzling Sword Light interfered with people's vision.
The Sword Light was very flexible, densely packed, forming arcs that attacked Chu Mu from all angles.
Chu Mu seemed to be surrounded by countless arcs of Sword Light.
In an instant, Nie Yingjie's eyes shone with a sharp light. He exerted his control over his strength, pouring it in and erupting it. The speed of one of the arcs of light increased dramatically as its strength increased explosively. It shuttled through the countless arcs of light, slashing out at an inconceivable angle.
Just from this sword, it could be seen that Nie Yingjie's strength was extraordinary.
Chu Mu's sword was unsheathed. The Sword Light disappeared, as if it had disappeared into the air. Sword Essence and Sword Intent were all poured in and exploded. Under the sword, all the arcs of light were shattered.
Nie Yingjie's expression changed. He hurriedly retreated, but he was still a step too late. Chu Mu's sword slashed across his chest.
The protective sword aura was like an illusion. Under the sword, a wound appeared on his chest. Blood spurted out.
When powerful swordsmen fought, the duration would not be too long. Swordsmen were synonymous with attacks. They were powerful and sharp. Especially when there was a difference in strength, victory and defeat would usually be decided within a few swords.
Nie Yingjie's strength was very strong. Just by looking at his sword, one could tell. However, Chu Mu was even stronger. He saw through Nie Yingjie's sword attack and used an even more tyrannical strength to defeat Nie Yingjie's attack and counterattack.
In terms of sword intent and profound, Chu Mu was the same as Nie Yingjie, both at the first rank. Perhaps Nie Yingjie's was a bit more profound, but as long as he didn't reach the second rank, his strength would be limited compared to Chu Mu.
In terms of power control, Nie Yingjie was only close to the Advanced Realm, but had not reached the Advanced Realm. On the other hand, although Chu Mu was only at the initial Advanced Realm, the power he erupted with was above Nie Yingjie.
In addition to the various factors such as eyesight and reaction, it was natural for Nie Yingjie to be defeated by Chu Mu.
Chu Mu had been merciful in this sword attack. Otherwise, the injury on Nie Yingjie's chest would have been several times worse.
"Leave your congratulatory gift and you can leave," Chu Mu said.
Nie Yingjie's face was pale and gloomy as he stared at Chu Mu. Then, with a wave of his hand, Sky Edge Coins flew out from his interspatial ring and pounced on Chu Mu like a swarm of locusts.
Chu Mu waved his hand and the three thousand Sky Edge Coins were all stored in his interspatial ring.
"Thank you for your gift. I won't send you off," Chu Mu said.
"Let's go." Nie Yingjie gave Chu Mu a deep look and roared. He turned and strode away. His four followers also got up and left with Nie Yingjie.
"Grand Elder, you've become even stronger," Su Haosha said. Although he didn't know what level Chu Mu's strength had reached, Su Haosha felt that Chu Mu's strength had increased again after defeating Nie Yingjie in one sword attack.
Nie Yingjie's arrival and departure formed a sharp contrast. The Ancient Sword Alliance's swordsmen only felt elated and happy. They looked at Chu Mu with eyes full of worship and respect.
After this matter, Chu Mu's strength was deeply ingrained in their hearts.
Many of the spectating swordsmen were tempted and secretly decided to join the Ancient Sword Alliance and become one of its members.
Chu Mu had defeated the fifth ranked official disciple, Nie Yingjie, in one sword attack. This meant that Chu Mu's strength was at least in the top three. For them, this was a great motivation.
They believed that with such a powerful swordsman, the Ancient Sword Alliance would definitely develop.
With Chu Mu's timely appearance and defeat Nie Yingjie, the Alliance Opening Ceremony continued. The atmosphere became even more lively because of what had just happened. The host of the Alliance Opening Ceremony was still Su Haosha. Chu Mu wasn't good at it. He only needed to sit in the Grand Elder's seat.
Su Haosha's tone was filled with motivation, causing the blood of the Ancient Sword Alliance's sword practitioners to boil. Their fighting spirit soared, and a powerful aura spread out from their bodies. It soared into the sky, wanting to break through the clouds.
When the Alliance Opening Ceremony was coming to an end, several figures came from afar. Each of them emitted a shocking aura. (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.)
