Nan Wu's figure did not stir up any wind. Silently, his sword had already chopped down.
The sharp edge was restrained, which made Chu Mu's scalp tingle.
His feet moved, and his sword followed him. Sword light flashed as he faced Nan Wu's sword. Flipping, circling, and twisting, the two swords instantly twisted dozens of times. The sword light was like a dragon soaring into the sky. Nan Wu's attack was instantly dispelled by Chu Mu and he was able to counterattack.
His left index and middle fingers pointed out like a sword. Sword Essence and Sword Essence condensed at the fingertips and pointed at Nan Wu's ribs. Once it hit, Nan Wu would definitely be affected.
Nan Wu's reaction was extremely fast. His figure turned translucent again, as if blending into the air. Chu Mu's Sword Finger missed, but the tip of his foot strangely appeared behind Chu Mu's back and stabbed at him like a sword.
In close combat, the two sides tangled with each other like dancing dragons and snakes. In the blink of an eye, they had exchanged countless blows, and it was difficult to tell who was better.
The two-hit combo of fused sword moves consumed a lot of energy, so Nan Wu did not dare to use it too many times. He would only use it when he found the best opportunity. However, he had already used it once, and Chu Mu was on guard, so it was difficult to find the right opportunity.
In an instant, the two swords collided, one high and one low. Nan Wu's figure flickered and disappeared along with his sword. As if he had teleported, he appeared behind Chu Mu and chopped down with his sword.
Chu Mu's sword, with the tip of his foot as the axis, spun and drew a semicircle arc. The arc of light was so sharp that it seemed to cut the air behind it into two halves.
When they clashed again, various fused sword moves were displayed one after another.
After watching many battles, Chu Mu's understanding and mastery of the Heavenly Desolation Sword Art gradually deepened. He was able to display other people's fused sword moves one by one, and even formed a simple connection between them, which was a bit like a combo of sword moves.
Although Namo didn't have Chu Mu's ability, he had come into contact with the Sky Desolation Sword Art many years earlier than Chu Mu. After many years of immersion, coupled with his extraordinary talent and attainments in swordsmanship, he had a unique understanding of the Sky Desolation Sword Art and created various fused sword moves.
For a time, both sides were equally matched, and they fought intensely without end, causing the spectating disciples to be completely immersed in the battle.
"So my Autumn Water Long Sky can be used like this." Luo Qiushui's eyes sparkled with a cold luster like autumn water. He thought to himself and admired Chu Mu.
Not only Luo Qiushui, but the other swordsmen were also amazed and felt that their swordsmanship had improved.
Their attention was more focused on Chu Mu, because watching Chu Mu's swordsmanship was more beneficial. But watching Namo's swordsmanship, they couldn't understand it. In comparison, Chu Mu's swordsmanship was more direct and pointed to the essence of swordsmanship.
Namo had many methods, excellent swordsmanship, and astonishing battle strength. Chu Mu wasn't any worse. Of course, this was because he controlled his sword intent to the early stage of rank seven. If he increased his sword intent, his battle strength would multiply, and it wouldn't be difficult to defeat Namo.
However, Chu Mu didn't plan to win like this. He wanted to train himself until he couldn't train himself anymore, then he would defeat Namo.
Namo didn't know that Chu Mu was using him as a sword test stone. Of course, he also used Chu Mu as a sword test stone.
Using the opponent as a sword test stone to train oneself and strive for a breakthrough, or to see a higher level, a higher realm. This was what true geniuses always did.
After a long battle, ordinary people would have become impatient. But Namo and Chu Mu were still as calm and composed as before. Every move seemed to have been calculated in the most precise way. It looked like a heavenly steed soaring across the sky without any trace.
This was the interpretation of swordsmanship. It was pleasing to the eye.
"Chu Mu is indeed extraordinary. After the competition, I plan to take Chu Mu as my personal disciple," said the second elder of the True Palace.
"My swordsmanship still lacks a true inheritor. I think Chu Mu is very suitable," the first elder of the True Palace suddenly said. Everyone was speechless. Even the third palace master was a little surprised.
The True Palace Great Elder had a lofty status and was almost comparable to the Palace Master. He was highly respected and was the strongest among all the True Palace Elders. He was even stronger than the Third Palace Master. The Grand Elder of the True Palace usually cultivated in seclusion and rarely appeared. He would only pay attention to events like the centennial competition. However, there was a difference between the Grand Elder of the True Palace and the other Elders of the True Palace. The other Elders of the True Palace all had disciples, but he did not.
Many years ago, the first elder of the True Palace took in a disciple and taught him wholeheartedly. But later on, that disciple died in an accident. Since then, the first elder of the True Palace never took in another disciple. This time, he was tempted and took a fancy to Chu Mu.
No matter how one looked at it, since the first elder of the True Palace had spoken, the other elders couldn't compete with him. Even the third palace master, who wanted to take Chu Mu as a disciple, could only suppress his thoughts.
"Congratulations, first elder." The other elders could only congratulate him.
"Hahahaha …" The first elder of the True Palace was very happy and comforted.
The battle continued. Those who didn't think highly of Chu Mu and even had some enmity towards him had increasingly unsightly expressions. Their hearts were increasingly unhappy. The better Chu Mu performed, the more uncomfortable they felt.
Nan Wu used all of his abilities. His eye technique was mixed in as well. All sorts of transformations were unpredictable and impossible to defend against. However, Chu Mu displayed shocking tenacity. No matter what technique Nan Wu used, he was able to deal with it.
It didn't seem like much, but truly powerful people knew that Chu Mu's qualities were the rarest. He didn't have any obvious shortcomings, and was tolerant of everything. He was able to absorb the strengths of others for his own use and continuously strengthen himself.
Even though he was wounded, Chu Mu was still tenacious and resilient. After attacking for a long time without success, Nan Wu had no choice but to use the combined sword style double strike in an attempt to break the stalemate. However, Chu Mu, who had already experienced its power once, was already prepared. He activated the peak Mountain Shaking Energy and completely activated Ice Soul Energy. Even his mental remembrance was merged into it.
This was an opportunity, a very good opportunity to counterattack.
The power of the two consecutive strikes was still so terrifying. Chu Mu's body shook and he was sent flying again. His blood and Qi churned and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Nan Wu also suffered from the recoil, and it was Chu Mu who was prepared for it.
The impact of the spiritual consciousness forced Nan Wu to fight back. The ultimate Mountain Quake and the recoil of the collision of the two swords also made his sword tremble. The tyrannical power hit his arm and shook his body. The power of Ice Spirit spread and the temperature dropped, affecting Nan Wu's flexibility.
In an instant, Nan Wu's body paused for a short time and appeared in the air. Chu Mu, while flying back, unloaded the force and borrowed the force to perform Swallow Return. His body drew a perfect arc in the air and flew toward Nan Wu at a faster speed like a swallow.
He waved his sword and arrived in a flash like a swallow.
When Nan Wu dispelled all the force and recovered, Chu Mu's sword had already appeared in front of him.
Unable to dodge, Nan Wu could only block.
Feihong Illusory Void Six Consecutive Slashes was used. Six figures appeared in the air and surrounded Nan Wu. Nan Wu had seen this move before, but when he personally experienced it, especially when Chu Mu's grasp of timing was so precise, it made him exclaim in admiration.
Flying Swan's Controlling Six Consecutive Strikes were all blocked. Chu Mu's next move was the combination of the 33 moves of the Heavenly Desolate Sword Art, which contained the power of the Boundary Realm. It burst out in an instant and was very powerful.
This powerful sword was successfully blocked by Nan Wu and he found a chance to fight back. However, Chu Mu's sword broke out again and reached the Boundary Realm.
It was like a tempest, a massive wave that seemed capable of crushing mountains. Nan Wudi was sent flying backward, blood spraying out of his mouth. Blood sprayed out of his mouth as he flew backward, blood spraying out of his mouth.
"So … so strong …"
"What … what kind of sword is this …"
Countless exclamations and gasps were heard.
Nan Wu landed on the ground. His qi and blood were surging like a tide. His arms were sore and his strength was almost exhausted. He almost couldn't hold the sword steadily.
He knew that he could do 12 consecutive bursts of the Boundary Realm, but it would be very difficult. Chu Mu was really terrifying.
His lips moved, and three words came out of Nan Wu's mouth. "You win."
Nan Wu knew very well that he could continue to fight, but he had already suffered internal injuries after taking on the 12 bursts of the Boundary Realm from Chu Mu. In addition, his arms were sore and couldn't recover immediately. He could only exert 50% of his strength. On the other hand, Chu Mu was calm and seemed to have strength left.
It was clear who was stronger.
Chu Mu had planned to continue attacking, but after hearing Nan Wu's words, he sheathed his sword.
Defeating Nan Wu was not difficult for Chu Mu. The only difference was how to defeat him.
The next match was between Chi Xiao and Chu Mu.
After resting for a quarter of an hour, Chu Mu fought with Chi Xiao. With the power of defeating Nan Wu, Chu Mu defeated Chi Xiao with unstoppable strength.
At this point, the thirteenth round of the competition was over.
"After the discussion of the elders, if Nan Wu and Chu Mu have no objections, the century-old competition of the outer palace is over." The referee announced loudly.
It was possible to continue the competition. Chi Xiao lost two matches in a row and was eliminated. The final match was between Chu Mu and Nan Wu.
But they had already fought. Nan Wu lost and Chu Mu won. So, if there were no objections, it was the final result.
"I have no objections." Nan Wu said.
"No objections." Chu Mu also said. As a sword test, Nan Wu's role ended here. Unless Nan Wu could improve by leaps and bounds in a short time, the gap between him and Chu Mu would only widen. This was the absolute gap between a genius and a monster.
Since there were no objections, the inner palace elders began to announce the rankings of the century-old competition.
Although they already knew, when the elders announced the rankings, they were still excited from the bottom of their hearts. The cheers grew louder and louder.
Starting from the tenth place, he continued to announce the fourth place. Then, the elder's tone became serious.
