The two silhouettes collided like comets, exploding with a shocking amount of energy. In an instant, everything around them was blown away. Qin Shanhe and the core members of the Demon Slayer Battle Team were all sent flying hundreds of meters away.
The terrifying collision caused the dark brown ground to shatter and become riddled with holes.
Countless sparks flew everywhere, each one containing a terrifying amount of energy that pierced through the void.
The two silhouettes flew back. In mid-air, their eyes met. Sharp light shot out like swords. They couldn't help but feel surprised.
After fighting many times, Chu Mu understood his own strength. He was surprised that Nangong Jie could block his attack.
Chu Mu was only surprised, but Nangong Jie was in disbelief.
Chu Mu was merely a newly promoted elite disciple. In less than a year, he had grown from an ant to someone who had the strength to contend against him.
"Fortuitous encounter. They must have had a great fortuitous encounter." Nangong Jie's heart trembled with excitement. "This fortuitous encounter must be mine."
Thinking of this, Nangong Jie's eyes flashed with viciousness. He landed on the ground and with a boom, his speed exploded. He charged at Chu Mu with unparalleled speed, his Sword Light shooting towards him.
Chu Mu's figure paused. Like a feather, he blew forward like a breeze. Without a sound, he slashed out with his sword.
Violent and gentle, two completely different yet contrasting forces collided once again.
This time, Chu Mu wasn't pushed back. Nangong Jie's sword rained down like a storm. Chu Mu's figure was like a ghost, moving with the wind. He circled around Nangong Jie's body in an arc. As he spun, he flew back like a swallow. His sword slashed out again, cutting into Nangong Jie's blind spot.
Nangong Jie's reaction was extremely fast. With a twist of his head, he dodged Chu Mu's attack.
Unexpectedly, Chu Mu's sword changed direction again. Following the momentum, he slashed down vertically. His strength exploded and his speed increased tenfold. Nangong Jie's pupils contracted. Almost instinctively, he raised his sword and used all his strength to slash at Chu Mu's neck. He wanted to die together with him.
Ruthless, extremely ruthless. This was Nangong Jie.
If Chu Mu persisted with this strike, he might be able to kill Nangong Jie. However, at the same time, he would also be attacked. There was a high possibility that his neck would be severed and he would die.
However, Chu Mu's sword didn't change and continued to slash down. Nangong Jie was still in shock. He gritted his teeth and used a secret technique. The arm holding the sword suddenly swelled up in exchange for a violent power. In an instant, the sword's speed increased by fifty percent.
Nangong Jie was confident that he would be able to kill Chu Mu with this strike before Chu Mu's sword struck him. As for the fortuitous encounter, he didn't have time to think about it in this life and death situation.
With a clang, Nangong Jie's eyes bulged. His sword had been blocked. He didn't know when, but a sword had appeared in Chu Mu's left hand, blocking his sword firmly.
"Wait …" Nangong Jie was shocked. He hurriedly opened his mouth to speak. However, before he could say anything, Chu Mu's sword slashed down and split Nangong Jie's head open. He couldn't be more dead. Only his eyes bulged out, filled with shock and disbelief.
In just a few short exchanges, one of the three core teams of the Demon Slayer Battle Team had been completely annihilated. Murderer: Chu Mu.
Like a serial killer, Chu Mu skillfully removed the swords, interspatial rings, and other items from Nangong Jie and the other team members. Then, he let Bawang devour their corpses.
After eating the corpses of ten powerful swordsmen, Bawang burped. The blood in his body churned and his aura surged. He became even more powerful.
The stronger the swordsman, the more powerful the energy in his body. After being eaten by Bawang, the energy in his body was extracted and absorbed to strengthen himself.
Eating the corpses was more thorough than destroying the corpses. At the very least, he wouldn't be able to find any clues.
Qin Shanhe stood up with difficulty and spat out two mouthfuls of blood. He took out a pill and ate it to heal his injuries.
Chu Mu kept Bawang in his Beast Space. Then, he continuously attacked with his sword, destroying the surrounding terrain and all kinds of traces, creating signs of a chaotic battle. Then, he leaped and flew away. He grabbed Qin Shanhe's arm and quickly left, leaving behind only the devastated ground.
… …
"I knew it. Captain wouldn't die so easily." Qin Shanhe looked at Chu Mu and smiled. The wounds on his shoulders and legs had basically healed. His internal injuries were almost healed as well.
"I met with some things." Chu Mu said. He didn't go into details. That day, after he broke through the seal, he left the stone tomb with Tu Gang. Because they were trapped for five months, Tu Gang only said that they would meet again if fate brought them together. Chu Mu naturally had to return to Sky Peak Valley.
When leaving the stone tomb, Chu Mu thought of the mutated Wild Beast Bawang that he kept in his Beast Space and summoned it.
Previously, he didn't summon it because he was cultivating and improving himself every day in the Sword Palace. There was no need. Now, his strength had reached a certain level.
The Beast Space was a special space. In it, Bawang wouldn't die. Instead, it would fall into a deep sleep and grow little by little in its sleep. Therefore, Bawang that was summoned by Chu Mu had grown to the level of a First Transformation Swordsman.
This wasn't enough. It was far from enough. Chu Mu decided that he would try his best to improve Bawang's strength in the next period of time.
"Fifth Transformation Sword Essence and Fifth Transformation Profound Meaning. Not bad." When Chu Mu knew about Qin Shanhe's progress, he smiled.
Now, Qin Shanhe barely had the strength to fight side by side with him.
"I have 86 battle points now. Captain, how many do you have?" Qin Shanhe asked.
"890 points," Chu Mu said.
"890 points!" Qin Shanhe exclaimed. While he was shocked, he revealed a hint of excitement. "Our battle points added together are close to 1,000 points. If we hunt some more Primordial Beasts, we'll be able to reach 1,000 points. At that time, our Zhentian Battle Team will be officially established."
"What big events have happened in the past few months?" Chu Mu asked. In the past five months, he was trapped in a stone tomb and focused on studying seals. He raised the defense and counterattack seals to the beginner level of the Great Grandmaster. He also raised the fusion of the two seals to the beginner level. He didn't know anything about the outside world.
"There are a few things. A Slayer appeared in the Crimson Wasteland. All the targets were killed with one slash. However, there has been no news for a few months." Qin Shanhe glanced at Chu Mu and said, "Also, one of the twelve first-rate battle teams, the Red Flame Battle Team, was annihilated. The one who killed them was a genius from the Underworld God Clan called Ming Xiu. Third, Sikong Zhan's battle team was officially established a month ago. It's called the Stardust Battle Team."
"Oh, Sikong Zhan's battle team is officially established. It's called the Stardust Battle Team." Chu Mu repeated with a faint smile on his face.
Ever since Sikong Zhan proposed the battle, there had been no news of him. He didn't expect that when there was news, it would be the official establishment of his battle team.
If they were competing to establish a battle team first, then Chu Mu would have already lost. However, they were competing to surpass the three Super Battle Teams first. In that case, establishing an official battle team was just the beginning.
The three Super Battle Teams had a long history, a deep foundation, powerful strength, and many experts. It wasn't impossible to surpass the three Super Battle Teams, but it was very difficult. Even if one could surpass them, it would take a lot of time.
"Do you have any information on the Stardust Battle Team?" Chu Mu asked.
"The Stardust Battle Team's Captain is Sikong Zhan. Aside from him, there is also a Vice Captain and three other members," Qin Shanhe said. This wasn't considered a secret. One could easily find out by asking around.
"They have more members than us." Chu Mu smiled.
"Captain, it won't be easy to surpass the three Super Battle Teams," Qin Shanhe said. Qin Shanhe said, "Based on the current situation, it's almost impossible for us to recruit a large number of members."
"I never wanted to recruit too many members." Chu Mu said calmly.
"Then, what do you plan to do?" Qin Shanhe was stunned.
"Walk the path of elites." Chu Mu smiled and said, "Our Zhen Tian Battle Team doesn't need too many members. At most, ten members will be enough. Moreover, every one of them must be a true elite. What I want is not a battle team with a large number of members, but a battle team made up of true elites. What matters is quality, not quantity."
Chu Mu's words made Qin Shanhe fall into deep thought.
After careful analysis, he realized that Chu Mu's words made a lot of sense.
Walk the path of elites, and not the development method of other battle teams.
Although the stronger a battle team, the more members and experts there were, there was no rule that said that the ranking of a battle team required numbers and strength. As long as one's strength met the requirements, it would be fine.
In the current Sky Edge Sword Palace, the majority of the elite disciples of the unrated battle teams had average talent. If they were recruited into the battle team, they might drag the battle team down if they wanted to develop it.
If that was the case, it would be better to follow what Chu Mu said. They only wanted true elites. Although true elites were hard to find, once they were obtained, they only needed to be nurtured slightly to form a true fighting force, allowing the battle team to quickly grow stronger.
"Since we are on the path of creating a battle team, I will develop the battle team into the strongest battle team," Chu Mu said calmly. His tone had an unquestionable dominance, as if he was looking down on the world.
After a period of time, Chu Mu summoned Bawang. After devouring the corpses of the core members of the Demon Slayer Battle Team, Bawang's aura had become stronger and stronger. His strength had increased significantly, and he had reached the level of a second transition swordsman.
"Let's go. Continue to hunt and earn more battle points." Chu Mu said as he got up. At the same time, he glanced at Bawang. He thought to himself that he should also let Bawang devour more corpses to gain more strength and become stronger.
"Let's go," Qin Shanhe said excitedly. One thousand battle points were almost reached. Their battle team was about to be established, and they would complete the first goal. As for him, he would become one of the founders of the battle team and personally participate in the creation of a battle team. The creation of a battle team with amazing potential, how could he not be excited?
Chu Mu was also excited, but he was calmer than Qin Shanhe.
