The bets had been placed. At this time, the battle on the battle arena had reached the most critical point. The outcome was about to be decided.
Xiahou Shan and Longzun were both calm. Originally, they didn't like each other, but this time, they were united against a common enemy. They both targeted Chu Mu.
They believed that they would definitely win because the arena master seemed to be at a disadvantage in the battle arena.
"Brother Chu, the arena lord's situation …" Although Tianqiaoyu came from an extraordinary background, his swordsmanship attainments were far from Chu Mu's. Therefore, he also thought that the arena lord was showing signs of weakness and would be defeated.
"Brother Tianqiaoyu, don't worry." Chu Mu looked indifferent.
Tianqiaoyu smiled slightly and didn't say anything. Ten thousand high-grade Yuanjing was nothing to him.
The arena lord was gradually showing signs of weakness, while the challenger's sword was becoming fiercer and fiercer. It was like endless thunder across the sky.
Everyone thought that Chu Mu was going to lose. They even looked at his face. However, they found that Chu Mu's expression didn't change. He was still as indifferent as before. There was even a faint trace of confidence.
"Deliberately mystifying." Xiahou Shan snorted coldly.
At this moment, the arena lord revealed a flaw. The challenger seized the opportunity and sped up his attacks. Who knew that the arena lord had purposely revealed a flaw? The challenger's frenzied attacks were equivalent to abandoning all defense. It was exactly what the arena lord wanted.
The arena lord dodged and immediately counterattacked. The fierce attacks immediately caught the challenger off guard. The challenger's sword was split apart and the arena lord's sword was placed on his neck. If it was a battle of life and death, his head would have been cut off.
The challenger was also very straightforward. A loss was a loss. There was nothing to be unsatisfied about. He cupped his hands, put away his sword, turned around, and jumped off the battle arena.
Xiahou Shan and Longzun were like ducks that had been grabbed by the throat. Their mouths were agape. The smiles on their faces were turning into astonishment. They were caught off guard.
"Brother Chu not only has profound swordsmanship, but his eyesight is also outstanding." Tianqiaoyu clapped and smiled. Since he had decided to befriend Chu Mu, he naturally stood on Chu Mu's side.
Immediately, someone sent over ten thousand high-grade Essence Crystals. Chu Mu accepted them without any trace of politeness.
Xiahou Shan and Longzun naturally wouldn't lose face for the sake of 10,000 high-grade Origin Crystals. They also took out 10,000 high-grade Origin Crystals and gave it to Chu Mu.
In a twinkle, Chu Mu obtained 30 thousand pieces of high-grade essence crystals.
One had to know that most of his upper-grade Meta Crystals came from the Space Ring of the Burning Blood Sword Of Gojoseon back in the Crimson Wasteland. There was a total of thirty thousand pieces, and he gave a portion to Qin Shanhe. After that, he obtained very few upper-grade Meta Crystals from killing strong enemies. Including the ratio of mid-grade Meta Crystals to low-grade Meta Crystals, he only had about twenty thousand upper-grade Meta Crystals.
He did not expect that in a short few days' time, he earned 40 thousand pieces of high-grade essence crystals.
Arena Champion Number One won and stepped off the stage to rest. He had used up a lot of energy in that battle. Next, it was Arena Champion Number Two's turn to accept the challenge.
The second champion was Li Jiwen. His eyes shone brightly and he was in high spirits.
"Who will fight with me?" Li Jiwen looked around and said coldly. He was very confident in his swordsmanship.
"Let me." Immediately, someone stepped onto the stage.
"Take my sword!" Li Jiwen said coldly. He unsheathed his sword, and it turned into a violent storm, attacking the Nine States at night. His opponent was able to obtain 100 consecutive victories, so his swordsmanship was not ordinary. However, compared to Li Jiwen, it was not enough. In less than fifteen minutes, he was defeated by Li Jiwen's sword.
"Not bad swordsmanship," Chu Mu said secretly.
The competition continued. Compared to ordinary people, the bodies of Divine Condensation Tier swordsmen were much stronger in all aspects. After their energy was used up, their recovery was also many times faster. Basically, as long as they did not overuse their energy, they could completely recover in a short fifteen minutes.
It was Arena Champion Number One's turn. This time, Arena Champion Number One was defeated and replaced. One battle after another continued.
The competition went on for about ten battles. Four Arena Champions Number One had changed, but Arena Champion Number Two had always been Li Jiwen. He had always defeated his opponents. His swordsmanship was so profound that it made people have a whole new level of respect for him. Even Tian Qiaoyu had the thought of recruiting him.
"For this battle, I will go up and get some exercise." Xiahou Shan suddenly stood up and strode towards the arena. He wanted to challenge Li Jiwen.
Seeing Xiahou Shan, Li Jiwen was also shocked. He immediately calmed down. Xiahou Shan's sword intent had been refined to the limit of the eighth revolution. He was indeed a rare genius. In terms of strength, Li Jiwen was far from being his opponent. However, they were competing in pure swordsmanship. He was not afraid of anyone.
"Make your move." Xiahou Shan was even more confident in himself.
"Take my sword." Li Jiwen stared at Xiahou Shan. His sharp sword was unsheathed. Sword Light spilled out in a violent storm.
Xiahou Shan did not move. He stared coldly at the Sword Light that came like a flash flood. His figure was also drowned by the Sword Light.
Li Jiwen's heart suddenly jumped. He did not feel like he had stabbed anyone. A blinding light appeared in front of him, accompanied by a heavy aura. It was so powerful that he could only forcefully withdraw his sword to block it. He was sent flying by Xiahou Shan's sword.
Xiahou Shan took a step forward. His powerful strength trampled on the ground. He was very fast. He charged like an immemorial beast and appeared in front of Li Jiwen. He raised his sword and slashed down again. It was like a mountain crushing down.
Xiahou Shan was tall and muscular. He was very strong. Although he was not very fast, his every move would affect the surrounding air, forming a powerful pressure.
After losing the initiative, Li Jiwen was under Xiahou Shan's attack. He was defeated by Xiahou Shan in the end.
When he stepped off the stage, Xiahou Shan deliberately looked at Chu Mu. He raised his eyebrows. It was a provocation.
Arena Master Number One stepped onto the stage. Revered Dragon stood up. He first glanced at Chu Mu. Then, he laughed as he walked. "I'll try too."
Landing on the arena, arena lord number one immediately took two steps back. His aura had weakened significantly. The Revered Dragon was laughing maniacally. He looked extremely arrogant and his aura was overflowing. His physique wasn't as strong as Xiahou Shan's, but he gave off the feeling of explosive power. It was as if every muscle on his body was like a volcano.
Whether it was Xiahou Shan or Revered Dragon, their bodies were different from ordinary Divine Condensation Realm swordsmen. It was either their bloodline or they had cultivated some kind of powerful body-refining technique.
Long Zun struck out with his sword. A terrifying power erupted from his not-so-strong body. With a boom, it was like a thousand-year-old volcano erupting. With a single strike, he defeated his opponent and replaced him.
Actually, if his opponent had calmed down, he could have fought Revered Dragon for a while. Unfortunately, Revered Dragon carried a tyrannical aura as soon as he stepped onto the stage. He was also a peerless genius whose sword intent had been refined to the limit of the eighth revolution. His opponent was a little weak against him. Without enough aura, how could he fully unleash the power of his sword arts? Moreover, he had lost the initiative. It was not strange that he was defeated in one sword strike.
When Revered Dragon stepped off the stage, he also provoked Chu Mu.
"Hehe, it's my turn." Xiahou Shan strode onto the arena. He and Revered Dragon had fought many times. They were basically tied. Usually, they disliked each other. But today, they had a common enemy, and that was Chu Mu.
"Chu Mu, to be able to stand on par with us and obtain a hundred consecutive victories, your sword arts should be pretty good. Come up and play." Xiahou Shan pointed his sword and scabbard at Chu Mu. This was a strong way to provoke his opponent. Coupled with his words, the provocation was even more obvious.
Chu Mu was also angry. Such a strong provocation made him raise his eyelids. His eyes shone with a sharp light.
He stood up and walked towards the arena step by step. Everyone's gaze, whether intentionally or not, was focused on Chu Mu. It was as if the moment Chu Mu appeared, he became the center of attention.
An indescribable and unique aura spread out from Chu Mu, silently covering the entire area. This was the bearing of an expert. Facing Xiahou Shan's repeated provocations, Chu Mu did not plan to keep a low profile. He wanted Xiahou Shan to understand the consequences of provoking him.
With a light tap, his body leaped into the air and landed on the arena.
"Unsheathe your sword. Let me see what you're capable of." The more outstanding Chu Mu's performance was, the more displeased Xiahou Shan was. There was no reason for it. In short, he was displeased.
"Take this." Since Xiahou Shan wanted to do so, Chu Mu did not hold back. As soon as his voice fell, Chu Mu's body seemed to leave the ground and soared into the sky like a swallow. His right hand grabbed the sword hilt and instantly unsheathed it. It cut through the air, drawing a perfect arc as it slashed towards Xiahou Shan.
The moment an expert made a move, one would know whether or not he was a real expert.
Seeing Chu Mu's sword move so smoothly and fluently that there were no signs before it was launched, Xiahou Shan was startled. Long Zun, Jiang Caidie, and the others were also shocked.
Clearly, Chu Mu's sword arts were beyond their expectations.
Xiahou Shan did not dare to underestimate him anymore. He quickly retreated and unsheathed his sword. A huge Sword Light seemed to split the arena apart as it slashed towards Chu Mu.
The Sword Light collided and shattered, turning into countless sparks that sputtered in all directions like fireworks. Swish! Swish! Swish! Chu Mu attacked from three different directions, catching Xiahou Shan a little off guard.
Xiahou Shan had rich battle experience, and his attainments in sword arts were not to be underestimated. He immediately adjusted himself and slashed his sword to deal with Chu Mu's changes.
After exchanging a few moves, Chu Mu could see that Xiahou Shan was worthy of being called the number one genius of the younger generation of a big clan. Xiahou Shan's sword arts domain had actually reached the peak of the seventh level. Vertically, he had also reached the peak of the physical realm. He was just one step away from entering the physical realm.
Even so, the difference between him and Chu Mu's peak of the tenth level was obvious. Vertically, the peak of the physical realm was perhaps one step away from the physical realm. It was more difficult to break through compared to the sword arts domain.
When the two were combined, the difference in sword arts was even more obvious.
After testing out Xiahou Shan's sword arts attainments, Chu Mu displayed even more strength. As the Sword Light danced, Xiahou Shan was suppressed. Even though Xiahou Shan's strength was much stronger than Chu Mu's, it was useless.
Strength could defeat ten, but when one's technique reached a certain level, it could counter the opponent's strength. Under Chu Mu's sword, Xiahou Shan was unable to withstand it. He hastily resisted and was ultimately defeated.
