"Awesome, this is awesome." Kong Zhan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth again and laughed. His hair was a little messy and sweat could be seen on his forehead. The Qi and blood in his body were surging, but his fighting spirit was gradually weakening.
After an hour of intense battle, Kong Zhan was enjoying himself.
Chu Mu's tenacity and strength made Kong Zhan very happy.
"Chu Mu, I have lost this battle." Kong Zhan admitted frankly.
Although there was no winner, Kong Zhan knew that he was at a disadvantage. If he continued to fight, he would definitely lose. Since he had enjoyed himself, there was no need to continue.
"Why did he admit defeat?" After all, only a few people understood. Most of them thought that Kong Zhan was on par with Chu Mu. If he continued to fight, he might be able to defeat Chu Mu with his experience.
No matter what, Kong Zhan had admitted defeat. What could they do?
At least until now, no one could defeat Chu Mu.
"Brother Li, why don't you go and try?" Shang Jun, who was ranked fourth, said to Li Jianxiong, who was ranked third.
"Even Kong Zhan is at a disadvantage. I am not confident either." Li Jianxiong replied.
They were indeed stronger than Kong Zhan, but there was a limit to it. If they were to fight with Kong Zhan now, they could not be 100% sure that they would win.
Instead of encouraging Chu Mu's prestige, it was better to wait for someone stronger to take action and destroy Chu Mu's prestige.
They all believed that even if they did not take action, Chu Mu would not be able to get away so easily.
No one said anything, but many people looked at the same person: Hou Qingming.
At this moment, only Hou Qingming could defeat Chu Mu.
Kong Zhan liked to fight and was somewhat lawless. Even the person who was ranked second was often challenged by him. Only Hou Qingming and Kong Zhan did not dare to do so because the gap between them was too big.
Hou Qingming also realized that it was time for him to take action because he discovered that Chu Mu was continuously improving in the fight. At the beginning, he could barely fight against Lin Ye, but now, he was able to fight to his heart's content against Kong Zhan. He was even able to comprehend sword techniques in the fight, causing Kong Zhan to admit defeat.
What kind of person was Kong Zhan? If he didn't have strength, how could he possibly admit defeat?
Learning and improving in battle was a necessary ability for every true genius. However, this ability of Chu Mu's was too strong.
The feeling in Hou Qingming's heart became even more obvious. He wanted to suppress Chu Mu. Even if one day, Chu Mu's power surpassed his, he would still have the memory of being defeated by Hou Qingming.
With Hou Qingming's temperament, he should not have had this kind of thought. However, as soon as this thought appeared, it immediately sprouted like a seed with a tenacious vitality.
Jumping up, everyone only saw a figure flash in front of them and Hou Qingming was already on the stage. Facing Chu Mu, his expression was calm and relaxed. He seemed to have an extraordinary temperament, worthy of being the number one inner palace disciple.
"You only have one chance to strike." As soon as Hou Qingming opened his mouth, it made people feel that he was extraordinary. As the number one inner court disciple, he was qualified to say such words. It sounded so natural.
Although his tone was very calm, the arrogance contained in it was clearly heard by everyone. The strange thing was that everyone felt that it was very normal and that this was how it should be.
Chu Mu did not mind. Hou Qingming was definitely the number one inner court disciple. It was normal for him to be arrogant.
Moreover, Hou Qingming's strength was definitely the strongest. Without a doubt, Chu Mu might have to use all of his strength to fight against Hou Qingming.
With a change of thought, Chu Mu unsheathed his sword. Everyone only saw a flash of golden light piercing through the sky. Chu Mu's figure seemed to have disappeared. The eyes of the inner court elders suddenly brightened. Chu Mu's sword skill had become even more perfect.
Sword Skill Cutting Iron!
Because of the extreme Mountain Shaking Energy, this sword skill could only be used in close combat. However, its power was still quite strong.
Chu Mu's sword was already fast. The golden light pierced through the sky and arrived in front of Hou Qingming. Hou Qingming's expression did not change. His face was calm. He only reacted when the golden light was right in front of him. He unsheathed his sword and raised it. Swoosh! A golden light appeared. It was also a gold elemental sword skill.
Hou Qingming's gold elemental sword skill was called Cutting Gold.
At that moment, Cutting Iron collided with Cutting Gold and Cutting Jade. Chu Mu only felt that the sharpness almost cut him in half. His sword almost flew out of his hand. A strong power of divine consciousness rushed into his spiritual world. It was like a golden sword was slashing everywhere. Chu Mu hurriedly used his divine consciousness to extinguish it.
At the same time, Hou Qingming also felt the terrifying sharpness. The sharpness was still vibrating at a high speed, forming an even more terrifying cutting force. However, Hou Qingming's strength was already very strong. His talent was also very shocking. His sword skill was close to perfection. Its power was also very strong. Moreover, his divine consciousness was several times stronger than ordinary swordsmen at the limit of the God Condensing Realm. It was not inferior to Chu Mu's at all. His sword intent had even reached the limit of the Seventh Revolution.
To put it simply, Hou Qingming was even more experienced than Chu Mu in the use of various powers.
Under the collision of the sword skills, Hou Qingming immediately dissolved the power of Chu Mu's sword skill. He looked very calm.
Chu Mu took three steps back. Hou Qingming's body only swayed. He did not move. It was obvious who was stronger.
As expected, even though my strength has increased tremendously, it is still a bit difficult to fight against Hou Qingming in this state, Chu Mu thought to himself.
Sword intent was the most important factor in a sword skill. A sword skill without sword intent would not even be half complete. Naturally, its power would be greatly reduced.
This time, Hou Qingming took the initiative to attack. The tip of his sword flickered. The Sword Light was like a river flowing endlessly. This was a water sword skill. It flowed towards Chu Mu. It looked soft and weak, but Chu Mu felt a chill run down his spine.
Vaguely, the sound of the flowing river could be heard in his ears.
Cutting Iron!
In an instant, the river was split apart and flowed past Chu Mu. Chu Mu also felt that the sword in his hand had become heavier. The Sword Light followed, bypassing Chu Mu's sword and slicing towards his throat.
Cutting Iron was a sword skill that focused on pressing forward. It used the sword in one's hand to cut through everything in front of one's eyes. Water was not hard enough, so it was not suitable to use Cutting Iron. However, the problem was that Chu Mu only had one sword skill.
Since he had already created one, it would be more difficult to create a second one. Moreover, Hou Qingming had already decided that he would not give Chu Mu any chances.
Once the sword skill was used, it was a continuous attack.
Metal sword skills, water sword skills, wind sword skills, wood sword skills.
Hou Qingming had mastered a total of four Profound Meanings. All of them had been refined to the limit of the Seventh Revolution. Some of these sword skills were self-created, while others were obtained from the inheritance of the sword skill crystal. Every move was close to perfection and was extremely powerful.
Cutting Gold and Breaking Jade, Flowing River, Sweeping Wind, Sweeping Green Wood, every sword skill had a vague vision. Under the continuous attacks, Chu Mu could only retreat again and again. He had to use the Profound Meaning of Space at the limit of the Seventh Revolution many times. His Inverse Space Step was becoming more and more proficient.
He could only continuously dodge. Even blocking was difficult. With one look, one could tell that he was at a disadvantage. There were a few times where he was almost hit. Fortunately, he used the Iron Slashing Sword Technique to slightly resist, giving him a chance to dodge. Even so, Chu Mu was still in a difficult situation.
Hou Qingming's strength was indeed too strong.
If it were not for the fact that the Sky Barren Sword Body had reached the limit of the third level and the Divine Barren Sword Body had made his body stronger, it would have been difficult for him to deal with Hou Qingming.
Seizing an opportunity, Chu Mu immediately rushed forward and used Cutting Iron again. His figure flashed and two Chu Mu's appeared, one on the left and one on the right. They used sword skills at the same time and slashed at Hou Qingming.
Hou Qingming's expression changed slightly. The two Chu Mu's seemed to be real.
Before he could think about what kind of cultivation technique it was, Chu Mu's sword slashed at him. The two Cutting Iron sword skills were extremely powerful. Hou Qingming waved his sword calmly. In an instant, the sword in his hand seemed to have turned into circles of flowing water. Under the strong wind, ripples spread out and surrounded him, blocking Chu Mu's two Cutting Iron.
This was a defensive sword skill that had fused the Profound Meaning of Wind and Water.
The sword skills with two Ultimacies were even more powerful. Chu Mu's Cutting Iron was not complete, so it was blocked directly.
In an instant, Hou Qingming changed from defense to offense. The ripple-like sword shadows gathered and turned into a giant sword. It was like a tree that grew in an instant. It stabbed out and slashed down. It was extremely heavy and full of vitality. It pressed down heavily.
The terrifying pressure made Chu Mu feel suffocated.
This move was a sword skill that combined the Water Ultimacy and the Wood Ultimacy.
Among all the inner disciples, Hou Qingming was the only one who had mastered a sword skill that combined two Ultimacies. Moreover, he had mastered more than one move.
The space around him was oppressed and there was no way to dodge. Chu Mu could only block it. He used Sword Shadow Kill and Sword Heart Shadow at the same time. The two Cutting Iron were in sync.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Mu had slashed out three times. He slashed at the weak points of the sword skill and disintegrated it. The strong rebounding force also hit Chu Mu. He groaned and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.
The difference in power between a sword skill with one Ultimacy and a sword skill with two Ultimacies was too big. Chu Mu could fight against a sword skill with one Ultimacy, but he could barely fight against a sword skill with two Ultimacies.
Luckily, he had Sword Shadow Kill and Sword Heart Shadow. Otherwise, he would have been severely injured and unable to continue fighting.
Hou Qingming did not have any intention of holding back. Chu Mu's power was completely out of his expectations. He could not believe that Chu Mu could fight with him to this extent.
Chu Mu was injured and his Qi and blood were in turmoil. The situation was not good. He quickly used Flying Illusory Steps and Inverted Space Steps to fight with Hou Qingming. Hou Qingming's sword skills were powerful and his sword speed was fast. It was very difficult to fight against. Chu Mu was also trying his best to move his position so that Hou Qingming could not lock onto him.
"Use the Divine Wilderness Sword Skill?" The moment this thought popped up, Chu Mu rejected it. Although he was much more familiar with it than before, he still needed about fifty breaths of time to convert his Heavenly Desolate Sword Energy into Divine Desolate Sword Energy. Hou Qingming wouldn't even give him a single breath of time.
"Could it be that I have to reveal a more powerful Ultimacy?" The second idea popped up.
"There is still that move. I can use this opportunity to test its power. If it is not enough, I will reveal the Ultimacy."
