The day of the third assassination had arrived.
When Chu Mu finished refining pills and walked out of the pill refining room, it was already night outside. It was only two hours away from midnight.
"You guys go back first," Chu Mu said to Nalan Fenghua and the others, "I'll go meet this high-profile assassin Jin Yi."
"Be careful, you must stay alive," Nalan Fenghua said as she gazed deeply at Chu Mu, various emotions flowing in her eyes.
Chu Mu nodded. He could feel that Nalan Fenghua's attitude towards him had changed compared to before. Although they were both single, but Chu Mu also understood what the change was, but he pretended not to know.
Because one day, he would eventually leave Heaven Wasteland Domain and return to the ancient world. He should not leave anything behind. Nalan Fenghua's talent was also relatively ordinary, and the ancient world was not suitable for her to live in.
The most important point was that Chu Mu was still pursuing his own way of the sword, and did not have any thoughts of romance.
Therefore, he could only disappoint the beauty's kind intentions. He only hoped that everything would remain the same, and that nothing would be exposed until he left.
Nalan Fenghua and the others left, returning to the house, and Chu Mu casually closed the [Little Pill House], slowly strolled out of Desolate City.
His speed seemed slow, but in fact it was very fast. Every step he took, he covered a distance of one foot. Fortunately, at this time, in Desolate City, the vast majority of people had already gone to bed, and on the streets, only the night watchmen would pass by.
Like a gust of wind, very quickly, Chu Mu walked out of Desolate City, and came to the outskirts of Desolate City.
North of Desolate City, Chu Mu displayed his body movement technique, and after a quarter of an hour, came to a small hill. Sitting on a rock on the hill, he looked at the bright moon in the sky.
Such a moonlight was very beautiful, and very picturesque.
Unfortunately, this was a night of murder.
There was still about half an hour before midnight. Chu Mu wasn't anxious at all. He was relaxed and casually sat on the rock in a comfortable position, admiring the bright moon. With a thought, a dark red wine gourd appeared in his hand.
Pulling open the cork of the gourd, an extremely strong wine fragrance with a trace of bloody smell immediately pervaded the air. Drinking a mouthful, his mouth was immediately filled with enthusiasm, the lofty iron blood, the galloping of ten thousand beasts, the heroic feelings in his heart.
This was the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood, a fine wine that Tu Gang had gifted to Chu Mu.
As Chu Mu drank the Ten Thousand Beast Blood and looked at the dark night and bright moon, his thoughts unconsciously drifted away. It was like he had passed through space and time, returning to the Immemorial World and the Heavenly Edge Sword Palace.
Unknowingly, time flew by and it was already midnight. A figure silently floated over from afar like a ghost and approached Chu Mu.
The strength of the space in Heaven Wasteland Domain was similar to that of the Ancient Sword Continent. Therefore, Yuan Realm swordsmen could fly here.
It was as if Chu Mu hadn't sensed it. The ghost-like figure flew through the air and soon after, it transformed into a pitch black sword light that was covered in a layer of silver moonlight. It was as if it had become one with the moonlight as it pierced through the air.
Under the bright moon, on the green rock, Chu Mu slowly withdrew his thoughts and drank another mouthful of the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood. Only then did he put the wine gourd into his space ring. Turning his head, he looked at the Sword Light that was flying towards him. It was already in front of his face.
This Sword Light was silent. All of its power was contained within, which surprised Chu Mu.
As the Sword Light fell, Chu Mu's figure was instantly pierced through. The Sword Light directly pierced a hole in the green rock.
It was Chu Mu's afterimage that was pierced through. Seeing that his attack didn't hit, the assassin didn't stop and attacked again. The silent Sword Light once again flew over.
Chu Mu didn't counterattack, but instead dodged time and time again. He realized that this assassin's attacks were two to three times fiercer than Golden Number Seven's. They were also more concise and efficient. Often, the attacks would come from a blind spot. It was so strange that it made one's heart tremble.
However, the blind spots were opposite. Chu Mu dodged them one by one. What shocked him even more was that the assassin's attacks seemed to contain a trace of power control.
In other words, this assassin's every sword attack contained power control. It was just that it hadn't reached the Immemorial Realm. Even so, each of his sword attacks was several times stronger than other swordsmen of the same level.
Chu Mu thought as he used the [Flying Swan Illusory Steps] to dodge.
The Heaven Wasteland Domain and the Ancient Sword Continent belonged to the same level of world. Chu Mu had been in the Heaven Wasteland Domain for more than a year, and also understood that there were no cultivation methods of power control and sword intent here. In other words, whether it was the swordsmen of the Heaven Wasteland Domain or the Ancient Sword Continent, in the case of the same level of cultivation, they were simply no match for the swordsmen of the Ancient Sword Continent. The difference between the two would become more obvious as one's cultivation increased.
But now, Chu Mu saw power control from this assassin. He immediately understood that this world wasn't as simple as he thought. Thinking back, the Ancient Sword Continent probably wasn't as simple as he thought. Perhaps there were people who knew of power control and other cultivation methods, but it hadn't been spread out.
But so what?
Chu Mu's power control had already reached the peak of the Immemorial Realm. Although his sword intent and profound meaning were sealed, and his power was greatly reduced, when he displayed it, after integrating sword yuan and Mountain Quaking Energy, it was still extremely strong. If he integrated his spiritual will, it would be even stronger.
This assassin was Jin Yi.
His speed was extremely fast, even faster than Chu Mu's. His attacks were extremely sharp and strange. He had also cultivated power control, and was several times more powerful. It was no wonder that he could carry out so many assassinations, and all of them were successful when the target was fully prepared.
After exchanging blows, Chu Mu knew Gold One's strength. His sword intent and dark profound had both reached the perfect stage. However, he hadn't refined them, so he probably hadn't obtained a method to refine them. However, this Gold One was already very powerful.
Jin Yi constantly attacked, attacked, and attacked again, as if it was his instinct. Every sword released a terrifying power, leaving a clear trajectory in the air.
But every sword strike missed, which made Jin Yi shocked by Chu Mu's strength.
In an instant, the sword in Jin Yi's hand shook, releasing an amazing light like a bright moon, filling the surroundings. Silver sword shadows filled the air, and wherever they passed, traces of darkness spread.
This light shone on Chu Mu, confusing Chu Mu's eyes and senses. The fatal Sword Light was among them, stabbing towards Chu Mu's throat.
This was a sure-kill sword, and also the strongest sword that Jin Yi was proud of. In the face of this sword, Chu Mu just shook his head slightly. He immediately understood that Jin Yi had not received the guidance of a real master at all. He was afraid that his power control was obtained by accident.
The swordsmen of the ancient world all knew that when cultivating power control, before reaching the unity of man and sword, there was no need to use any sword skills, because the power of power control was not weaker than those sword skills.
Jin Yi did not understand this. While cultivating power control, he was also obsessed with the so-called sword skills, which made it difficult for him to truly enter the threshold of power control.
On this point, Chu Mu would not guide him.
The eight-sided Tian Huang Sword was unsheathed, and the sword cut through the air, drawing an arc in the air. It was simple, but it seemed to have been tempered thousands of times.
Under this sword, Jin Yi was shocked to find that his strongest attack was blocked. All the light quickly melted like ice and snow under the hot sun. Even his body, which had merged with it, could not hide.
Chu Mu's sword was simple, but all the power was deeply contained in it. Jin Yi also saw a trace of power control, and that sword seemed to be made by nature, enlarging in front of him, filling and occupying the world in front of him.
Jin Yi made a prompt decision. His left hand grabbed behind him, and then he threw forward, passing Chu Mu in an instant. Chu Mu immediately felt a sharp force appear behind him, stabbing towards his back, making him feel cold.
The sword turned and cut behind him, splitting the sharp attack. At the same time, he was surprised to see that there was another Jin Yi behind him.
Then he quickly looked in front of him. It was still one Jin Yi. There were actually two Jin Yi. What was going on?
The two Jin Yi attacked Chu Mu from the front and the back. The pressure on Chu Mu suddenly increased several times. The eight-sided Tian Huang Sword blocked the attacks of the two Jin Yi. Chu Mu keenly grasped that there was some kind of close connection between the two Jin Yi. Their cooperation could be said to be flawless.
The assassin Jin Yi never hid his face during an assassination. It was because of this that Chu Mu was sure that there were two Jin Yi.
After several exchanges, Chu Mu carefully observed and determined that one Jin Yi was like a puppet, and the other Jin Yi was a living person.
The cooperation of the two Gold Ones increased the power of their attacks by three to four times. It was no wonder that he could carry out ninety-nine assassinations, and all of them were completed when the other party was fully prepared. This was inseparable from Gold One's own ability.
But now, all of this was going to end. Because the person he wanted to assassinate was Chu Mu, and Chu Mu was his terminator.
After some exchanges, Chu Mu also figured out the cooperation and attack between the two Jin Yi. It was time to counterattack.
With a slash of the sword, the Sword Technique Domain opened. The power of the seventh level of the Sword Technique Domain suddenly distorted the surrounding air, and also caused the attacks of the two Jin Yi to be deflected. Then, Chu Mu's sword struck one of the Jin Yi. The sword of the Extreme Realm, integrated with the impact of spiritual consciousness.
The two Jin Yi were both shocked. Their spiritual consciousness was impacted, and their bodies produced a moment of sluggishness.
In a battle between masters, one breath was enough to determine life and death. This moment of sluggishness made Jin Yi extremely shocked. Before he could react, he saw a Sword Light bloom in front of him. Then, darkness descended.
The sky and earth spun, and the silver moon in the sky seemed to be flying up and down. Then, as if it had disappeared, it gradually disappeared into darkness.
One sword cut off the head.
The other Jin Yi moved, bursting out with all his speed. He turned into a stream of light and fled far away in an instant. His speed was indeed faster than Chu Mu's, but slower than Chu Mu's sword light. The Extreme Realm sword light broke through the air, leaving a passageway in the void, and pierced through the back of Jin Yi's head.
