Lin Ye was ranked twenty-ninth in the top thirty. He seemed to have the upper hand in the beginning, but he was defeated by Chu Mu in the blink of an eye. This turn of events was hard to accept, and the whole place was silent.
In fact, all the inner elders thought that Chu Mu was already very powerful to be able to defeat the top one hundred, and that there was no way he could be a match for the top thirty. However, the scene in front of them had changed their minds.
With a gloomy face, Lin Ye turned around and walked down the stage, returning to the Seven Sword Tower's camp without saying a word.
However, Chu Mu did not care at all. He was still trying to understand the fusion of profound power that he had just experienced.
In the past, he had spent some time on the fusion of profound power, but he had not made any progress since there were too many things that he needed to train. However, he did not expect that after reaching the realm of man and sword, he would be able to understand it immediately after battling with a powerful opponent.
Right now, it was the fusion of the Gold Profound and the Wind Profound. The power after the fusion had the sharpness of the Gold Profound and the speed of the Wind Profound. Under the enhancement of each other, the power would be multiplied. If he could fuse a third Profound, it would become even more powerful.
However, fusing three profound was definitely more difficult than fusing two profound. It would be a few times more difficult.
Right now, he had only fused two profound, and Chu Mu did not expect to be able to fuse three profound immediately. Instead, he wanted to continue fusing the two profound until he could fuse them perfectly. Then, he would work hard on fusing three profound.
With Lin Ye's defeat, many of the top thirty disciples pondered for a bit and decided not to fight. Speaking of which, among the inner palace's top thirty, the top ten were relatively strong. The strength difference between the bottom twenty wasn't too obvious. If they were to fight again, the rankings would definitely change greatly. Therefore, even the eleventh ranked disciple didn't have much confidence that he could defeat Chu Mu.
Since he did not have the confidence, he would not fight. Otherwise, if he was defeated like Lin Ye and failed to beat Chu Mu, it would be a big blow to his reputation.
"Hehehe, my hands are itching." A sword warrior with short hair that looked like steel needles said. Although he was wearing a long robe, his muscles still looked like they were filled with explosive power. With a smile full of battle intent, he strode onto the stage.
"Kong Zhan."
"Kong Zhan is ranked sixth, and he loves to fight. He becomes stronger when he meets a strong opponent. With him taking action, it will definitely be safer."
Kong Zhan was indeed as his name suggested. He loved to fight. Whenever there was a strong opponent, his hands would itch and he had to fight. Even if he was beaten until he was covered in injuries, he would still fight.
Chu Mu saw a kind of temperament on Kong Zhan. He recalled that Chi Xiao also had this kind of temperament, but it was much fainter.
"Chu Mu, I will fight you with all my strength. I hope you won't disappoint me." Kong Zhan's words were also very direct. He unsheathed his sword and pointed it at Chu Mu. A gust of battle intent blew over like a storm, as if wanting to drown Chu Mu.
Chu Mu's spirit was shaken, and his muscles tensed up naturally. This was a natural reaction when encountering a strong opponent.
Since it was an all-out fight, Kong Zhan wouldn't hold back at all. The sword pointed straight at Chu Mu suddenly trembled and a shocking explosion rang out. It was like a clap of thunder exploding next to one's ear. Heavenly thunder rolled. It was a sound wave attack.
Chu Mu only felt a shocking thunder rumble in his eardrums. He felt waves of piercing pain, and his head shook as if he was about to faint. Soon after, Kong Zhan's sword pierced through the air. With a cracking sound, it was like a lightning bolt tearing through the sky, tearing apart the heaven and earth of the stage.
Thunder flashed!
Everyone's eyes darkened and brightened. Kong Zhan's figure disappeared, and he became one with his sword. He turned into a thunderbolt and hacked at Chu Mu. Its power was terrifying, and it was much stronger than Lin Ye's sword skill.
In front of Chu Mu's eyes, he saw a thunderbolt tearing through the air. The terrifying power attacked first, making his whole body numb. His protective sword aura did not have the slightest effect and shattered instantly.
The terrifying sword skill was so fast that it almost surpassed Chu Mu's reaction speed.
Fortunately, Chu Mu's thunder profound had been refined to the peak of the ninth revolution, which was much stronger than Kong Zhan's. Sensing the power of the thunder profound, he took a step back and quickly turned his body to dodge. He unsheathed his sword and slashed out. The power of metal and wind profound was integrated into it.
It was not a sword skill, but it was a combination of the peak of the seventh revolution gold profound and wind profound, as well as the peak Mountain Trembling Energy. With man and sword as one, the power of this sword was extremely tyrannical.
Kong Zhan was not surprised at all. His sword slightly shook and adjusted its direction. With a thunderbolt, he still attacked Chu Mu.
Sword skills were the essence of using the sword. It was the essence of all kinds of power. It was not easy to deal with.
If he had hit Kong Zhan, Chu Mu would not have been hit by Kong Zhan's sword skill and ended up in such a terrible state.
In an instant, Chu Mu activated Sword Shadow Kill and slashed at Kong Zhan's sword.
Kacha sounds rang out, followed by the sound of something shattering. The lightning shattered, and the powerful impact caused Chu Mu to fly backwards. The electric current went straight to his arm. He hurriedly used the thunder profound to disperse the electric current, but it was still very uncomfortable.
His Qi and blood were surging. If not for his powerful spiritual sense, he would have vomited blood and been injured on the spot.
Kong Zhan slashed out again. This time, it was not a thunderbolt, but a sound wave. It emitted an incomparably sharp sound, causing the surrounding people to cover their ears with their hands, their faces filled with discomfort.
Sword skill, it was yet another sword skill.
Facing Kong Zhan's sword skill head on, Chu Mu felt his arm go numb. He did not want to face the second sword skill head on. Left with no choice, he could only use the profound of space.
The peak of the seventh revolution profound of space had unfathomable power. Under a wave of spatial fluctuations, he used the Inverse Space Step and disappeared in front of Kong Zhan, causing Kong Zhan's sword skill to miss.
"Profound of space!"
"Peak of the seventh revolution profound of space!"
In an instant, the Sword Saints' soul powers contacted and conversed.
"Good kid, other than the three profound of metal, cloud, and wind, you actually comprehended a high level profound of space." The third palace lord's tone was very excited.
Profound of space was more difficult to comprehend than other profound, but it was also more powerful.
Not only did Chu Mu use the profound of space, but he also reached the peak of the seventh revolution. How could they not be shocked?
Using the Inverse Space Step, Chu Mu appeared behind Kong Zhan and slashed out.
The sword skill missed, but Kong Zhan reacted quickly. He leaped into the air and slashed down like thunder. Not only did he avoid Chu Mu's sword, but he also counterattacked with a sword skill.
Kong Zhan's battle awareness was very shocking.
The sword skill's power was too tyrannical. The one who would be injured in a head-on clash would definitely be him. Even with Sword Shadow Kill, it was difficult to face it head-on. Currently, he could only rely on the profound of space to fight.
While fighting, Chu Mu comprehended at the same time, trying to see if he could create a sword skill.
Among the various profound, metal profound was the one he was most familiar with. If he wanted to create a profound, metal profound should be the first one.
The sword skill created under the One with the Sword was different from the previous sword skills. However, there were some similarities between the two. The biggest difference was that the One with the Sword was the One with the Sword.
How to truly gather all the power of sword intent, profound meaning, and so on? Only when one was in the state of One with the Sword could one do it perfectly, without wasting too much energy.
Chu Mu's comprehension was very high. He divided his mind into two, fighting and thinking at the same time. Gradually, he had a clear idea.
At present, his sword intent was in the recovery stage. If he could avoid using it, then the sword skill he created would definitely be incomplete. But it didn't matter. With Profound Meaning and Mountain Shaking Energy, the power of this sword skill wouldn't be too weak.
Fighting, observing, and comprehending. Gradually, the idea became clearer.
Chu Mu's sword vibrated and a golden light pierced through the body of the sword all the way to the tip. Following that, Chu Mu slashed out with his sword. There was no wind profound, only pure metal profound and extreme Mountain Trembling Force. If one were to use a microscope to zoom in, they would be able to see that Chu Mu's sword was vibrating at a high speed. Coupled with the extreme sharpness of metal profound, it instantly sliced through the air without any stagnation.
The sword's aura was completely different.
"Sword skill …"
"He actually created a sword skill on the spot …"
The elders of the inner palace did not know what to say.
Chu Mu's sword technique was clearly incomplete. It still had a rusty feel to it, as if it had just been created. Creating a sword technique in the middle of a fight wasn't an easy task.
The sword skill was just created, so it was naturally incomplete. Chu Mu did not care. He slashed out with his sword. The sharpness of the sword made Kong Zhan's expression change. He quickly dodged and slashed back. The Thunder Clap broke through the air and collided.
In an instant, the Thunder Clap was cut open by Chu Mu's sword. Chu Mu also felt a powerful force raging.
To perfect a sword skill, it was best to test the results in actual combat.
Chu Mu immediately used the newly created sword skill to fight with Kong Zhan. Although it was only one move, Chu Mu won in terms of timing and extraordinary fighting talent.
This move was named Iron Slash by Chu Mu. It was gradually perfected. Although it was destined to be incomplete because of the lack of sword intent, its power was increasing little by little.
The fight between the two had already lasted for a quarter of an hour. At the beginning, Chu Mu was at a disadvantage, but after the sword technique was created, he gradually turned the tables around. They were evenly matched, and it seemed that the victor wouldn't be decided in a short period of time.
Kong Zhan's tenacity was shocking, and so was Chu Mu's. They were both the type of people who would become stronger when facing a strong opponent. The more they fought, the more intense the battle became.
However, Hou Qingming's expression did not look good.
The two swords clashed and separated. Chu Mu performed his sword skill again. He slashed out, and a golden color filled the sword. It vibrated at a high speed as he activated the Sword Shadow Kill.
The sword technique's power abruptly increased under the Sword Shadow Kill. Kong Zhan couldn't see through the profundity of this sword, so he once again used his sword technique to meet it head on. Immediately, he was cleaved apart by Chu Mu's sword, which went straight for his central palace. His protective sword aura shattered, and he was sent flying. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. If not for the protection of his armor, this sword would have been enough to heavily injure him.
"Again!" Kong Zhan wiped the blood off his mouth and slashed out again.
"Alright." Chu Mu's battle intent was also ignited. He jumped up and performed his sword skill again.
With such an excellent opponent like Kong Zhan, it was also a rare opportunity. How could Chu Mu let it go?
