With this thought in mind, Chu Mu quickly mobilized the remaining power of the Heart Sword, preparing to release the most powerful attack.
Hou Qingming's strength made Chu Mu feel even more pressured. In the situation where he could not use his sword intent, his counterattack power was limited.
Many people could see that Chu Mu's sword technique did not contain any sword intent. They were also curious as to why Chu Mu did not use his sword intent. Was there some unknown secret?
Or was he hiding his strength?
There was no reason for that. At this point, it would be unwise for him to hide his strength.
Hou Qingming was also very confused and surprised. However, in his opinion, a battle was about determining the winner and the loser, or even life and death. If he did not use his sword intent, it would be stupid. If he lost, he could not blame others.
Chu Mu was forced back by Hou Qingming's sword. In an instant, he raised his sword high. The powerful power of the Heart Sword gushed out from his heart like a flood. In an instant, it was infused into the sword with a unique fluctuation.
The sword released a shocking aura that made Hou Qingming's body tremble. The sword technique that he was about to use immediately dissipated. He waved his sword around and spun it around, performing a defensive sword technique.
A low shout was like a thunderclap, making everyone tremble. It was as if an electric current had run through their bodies, making them feel numb.
Chu Mu raised his sword and slashed down. A sword light that was hard to see with the naked eye broke through the air like a crescent moon, tearing everything in front of it apart. The aura of the sword light was so sharp that it seemed as if even heaven and earth could not stop it.
It was extremely fast. When everyone only felt the sword light appear and Hou Qingming's defensive sword technique was only half performed, the almost transparent crescent moon had already broken through the air.
With a slight tearing sound, Hou Qingming's defensive sword technique was cut open in an instant. The terrifying sword light rushed towards his body, wanting to cut him in half.
With a boom, the power was completely unleashed. Hou Qingming's sword emitted an astonishing light, rising like a scorching sun, blocking the transparent crescent moon. The collision caused the air to tremble, as if the world was about to shatter.
The third level of the 《Heart Sword Secret Manual》: The Heart Sword slashed the heavens, releasing its sharpness for the first time.
The Heart Sword Sky Slash was very powerful, but Hou Qingming was not weak at all. He used two Profound defensive sword skills to resist the Heart Sword Sky Slash, and then used two Profound offensive sword skills to fight back.
That sword attack had consumed all of Chu Mu's Heart Sword power, but it still wasn't enough to defeat Hou Qing Ming. Chu Mu seized the opportunity and unleashed his Gold Profound. It was the pinnacle of the Eighth Revolution, which was several times more powerful than the pinnacle of the Seventh Revolution. In order to defeat Hou Qing Ming with one sword attack, Chu Mu had even used his sword intent, which was the pinnacle of the Eighth Revolution.
Chop Iron!
It was the complete version of Slash Iron, which contained sword intent and the profound meaning of gold. It was also infused with the ultimate Mountain Quaking Energy and the power of divine sense.
The sword skill that contained the terrifying peak eighth rank metal profundity instantly split apart Hou Qing Ming's incomplete sword skill and killed him in one strike.
Theoretically, a sword skill with only one Profound was not as powerful as a sword skill with two Profound, but it also depended on the specific situation.
There were different levels of Sword Intent Profound refinement. The Sword Skill unleashed by a higher level Sword Intent Profound would naturally be more powerful.
Since Chop Iron was infused with the pinnacle of the Eighth Revolution sword intent and the pinnacle of the Eighth Revolution gold Profound, it was far more powerful than a single Profound sword skill. It was close to two Profound sword skills. Moreover, it was infused with the ultimate Mountain Quaking Energy, which made the sword skill even more powerful. It had already surpassed two ordinary pinnacle of the Seventh Revolution Profound sword skills.
This sword had endless sharpness and was unstoppable. Hou Qing Ming's expression changed drastically. He roared and performed all of his sword skills in an attempt to fend off Chu Mu's sword attack.
It was too fast and too sudden. Hou Qing Ming had lost his chance and Chu Mu had suddenly unleashed the pinnacle eighth rank sword intent. Hou Qing Ming could not fend off the attack.
All of his sword skills were shattered under Chop Iron. Hou Qing Ming held his sword in front of his chest to fend off the attack. Chu Mu's sword fell and a terrifying power exploded out. The power of vibration spread throughout his body and shook his organs. Hou Qing Ming could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood as his body flew backwards.
"Pinnacle of the Eighth Revolution sword intent and the profound meaning of gold!"
"Breaking an Earth Class Rank One Human Sword Skill!" The elders gasped in astonishment.
Deflecting the attack, Swallowback, and Hou Qing Ming attacked again.
Hou Qing Ming was too powerful. It was not easy for Chu Mu to seize this opportunity. He would not let it go and give his opponent a chance to regroup.
Sword after sword, the pinnacle eighth rank profound meaning alternated and fused. Sometimes, it would release the powerful Chop Iron Sword Skill. Hou Qing Ming could only retreat and fend off the attacks. He was shaken again and again and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.
With the last sword, Chu Mu's body flew across the sky like a swallow. The Chop Iron Sword Skill killed Hou Qing Ming and he flew backwards again. At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of blood. His back heavily hit the seal of the battle arena, creating layers of ripples.
"Big brother!" The people of the Seven Sword Tower cried out in shock.
Even so, Chu Mu did not intend to let up. He thrust out his sword and placed it on Hou Qing Ming's neck.
He wanted to hear Hou Qing Ming admit defeat. Otherwise, the battle would continue.
Hou Qing Ming did not panic. He wiped off the blood at the corner of his mouth and stared at Chu Mu with sharp eyes. It was as if he wanted to see through Chu Mu.
Chu Mu's expression did not change. He met Hou Qing Ming's sharp eyes and did not show any weakness.
Even though Hou Qing Ming did not want to admit defeat, at this very moment, Chu Mu's sword was placed on his neck. It was not hard for Chu Mu to kill him.
"You won." Hou Qingming exhaled and said, "However, you know very well how you won. Soon, we'll fight again."
"Anytime." Chu Mu smiled softly.
As for how to win, it wasn't much. It was nothing more than catching the opponent off guard and finally seizing an opportunity to defeat Hou Qingming with overwhelming strength. If Hou Qingming had been on guard from the start, the one who lost may have been Chu Mu.
But that was only a possibility. Plus, Hou Qing Ming had already lost. Before everyone's eyes, there was no disputing this fact. It did not matter if he threw the fight or if he was not capable enough. It was an undeniable fact.
Even the number one inner disciple, Hou Qing Ming, had lost. Naturally, out of all the inner disciples, nobody was Chu Mu's opponent.
After Hou Qing Ming lost, he turned around and left the battle arena. Chu Mu was still standing there. His body was tall and straight. His expression was calm and his temperament was extraordinary. Nobody could tell if he was real or fake.
But right then, Chu Mu was having a hard time. His sword spirit had been split into two, and his sword intent had been split into two as well. He had not recovered yet, and before he recovered, it would be best if he did not use his sword intent. But in order to defeat Hou Qing Ming, Chu Mu had to use his sword intent.
The result of using his sword intent was that his sword spirit had become unstable. It was as if it was about to collapse. Chu Mu had to use his spiritual energy to suppress it. On the surface, he had to make sure nobody could tell.
"Who else?" Chu Mu glanced around and said softly.
No one responded. They were not as powerful as Hou Qing Ming.
"Since no one continues to challenge Chu Mu, this challenge ends here. As for Chu Mu assuming the position of Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace's young palace master, no one is allowed to object." A quarter of an hour later, an inner palace elder spoke in a low voice.
Now that things had come to this, it was a foregone conclusion. Even if there were still some people who were unwilling to accept the fact that Chu Mu was the Young Palace Master, they could not object.
Since it was a foregone conclusion, Chu Mu heaved a sigh of relief. He wanted to leave as soon as possible and return to his small palace. He wanted to have a good rest, stabilize his sword spirit, and eliminate any future troubles.
"Alright, disperse. In the future, when you see Chu Mu, you know how to treat him," the inner elder said. He waved his hand and dismissed the crowd.
"Wait." When Chu Mu was about to leave, a voice rang out. It was like a sharp sword piercing straight into his heart. The inner elder's expression changed.
He had asked the crowd to disperse, but someone asked him to wait. That was not giving him face. Then, he saw that the inner elder was angry because the person who spoke was a disciple of the True Palace.
Both the inner elder and the disciple of the True Palace were experts at the same level as the Sword Of Gojoseon. But in terms of status, the disciple of the True Palace was still higher.
The one who spoke was a disciple of the True Palace surnamed He. His name was He Hao. From the first time he saw Chu Mu, he did not like Chu Mu because of Ren Duxing. Previously, because Chu Mu was just a small character, he did not take him seriously. But now, Chu Mu was going to be the Young Palace Master of the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace. Wasn't that a higher status than him?
He Hao's sharp eyes fell directly on Chu Mu's face, appearing aggressive.
"The position of Young Palace Master is not a child's play. It is not enough to convince the disciples of the Inner and Outer Palace, you must also convince the disciples of the True Palace." He Hao's lips curled into a cold smile. "And now, I don't remember when Chu Mu convinced us disciples of the True Palace."
It was a little shameless to say such words, but He Hao did not care. He was a thick-skinned person and simply did not care what others thought of him.
"What do you want?" Chu Mu asked indifferently. His strength was not as good, but his aura could not be weak.
"Nothing. If you want to be the Young Palace Master, you naturally have to convince everyone in the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace." He Hao chuckled and said, "If you can convince me, I will acknowledge your position as the Young Palace Master."
"You mean, I have to defeat you?" Chu Mu stared at He Hao and said unhurriedly, "If I'm not wrong, you are at least twice as old as me. The time you have spent cultivating is also at least twice as long as mine. You have been a True Palace disciple for some years, while I have just become an Inner Palace disciple. Putting all this aside, let me ask you, how was your strength when you were my age?"
Chu Mu's rhetorical tone was flat, but it was extremely sharp, causing He Hao's expression to faintly change before returning to normal. It was as if he didn't understand Chu Mu's words, "You're saying that you don't have enough time to cultivate, right? I can give you some time to properly cultivate …"
"Alright, if a True Palace disciple wants to challenge Chu Mu, wait until Chu Mu becomes a True Palace disciple." An old but vigorous voice rang out from the void. It was a True Palace Elder who had spoken.
He Hao's expression changed and he did not say anything else. He dared to contradict an Inner Palace Elder, but he did not dare to challenge a True Palace Elder. This matter had come to an end.
