"Good, good, good." The three pavilion elders took turns patting Chu Mu's shoulders. Their beards twitched in excitement. Then, they looked at the Black Extreme Palace Elder and said, "You're right. In the future, when we recruit new disciples, we will have to strengthen the test. It would be best if they were like our Flying Heaven Pavilion."
The faces of the Black Extreme Palace Elders and disciples were as black as the bottom of a pot. This was a naked slap to the face, and a naked slap to the face in public at that. The loud slaps made them feel so ashamed that they couldn't even show their faces.
The Black Extreme Palace disciples wished they could dig a deep hole and crawl into it. But, the Black Extreme Palace Elder was a wily old fox. His complexion quickly returned to normal. He chuckled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations. Having such a genius is the great fortune of our human race. If you need anything, you can let us know. Our Black Extreme Palace will do our best to help you find heavenly materials that can increase your cultivation talent."
"There's no need for you to worry." The Flying Heaven Pavilion Elder coldly snorted.
As for the Black Extreme Palace disciples, their faces darkened as they stared at Chu Mu. Their gazes were extremely unfriendly.
"I was wrong just now. I apologize to Chu Mu." Suddenly, the Black Extreme Palace's Hou Shaohui spoke to Chu Mu. He was the number one disciple of the Black Extreme Palace. His status in the Black Extreme Palace was similar to Cang Mo's status in the Flying Heaven Pavilion.
Chu Mu glanced at him and didn't say anything. His intuition told him that since Hou Shaohui had taken the initiative to apologize, he wasn't really apologizing. He was probably plotting something.
As expected, Hou Shaohui faintly smiled. His expression was a bit gloomy. In fact, after becoming a disciple of the Black Extreme Palace and cultivating their cultivation methods, a person's temperament would subtly change and become somewhat dark.
"I heard that a new disciple had appeared in the Flying Heaven Pavilion and I wanted to meet him one day. Now, this person has become the number one disciple on the Good Fortune Heaven Tablet. I can't help but want to meet him." Hou Shaohui stared at Chu Mu and said provocatively, "What do you think, number one disciple? Let's spar."
As he spoke, Hou Shaohui pulled out his sword and drew a sword flower in full bloom. It was vivid and lifelike as it pointed at Chu Mu. His provocation was even more obvious.
"Hou Shaohui, if you want to play, I'll play with you." Cang Mo took a step forward and said coldly.
The number of disciples in the Flying Heaven Pavilion was many times smaller than the number of disciples in the Sky Splitting Sword Sect, the Extreme Black Palace, and the Myriad Mountains Villa. This also made the disciples of the Flying Heaven Pavilion more united in most situations.
Internal strife was one thing, but once there were external enemies, they would unite against them.
"Cang Mo, if you want to challenge me, sure. Wait until I defeat Chu Mu." Hou Shaohui glanced at Cang Mo and said casually, not taking him seriously at all. He revealed his contempt for Chu Mu and felt that he could easily defeat Chu Mu.
"I'm afraid you won't have that chance." Chu Mu lightly said. His figure flashed and he appeared in the distance.
There were too many people around the Good Fortune Heaven Tablet; it wasn't convenient to use it.
"Don't worry, I will show mercy." Hou Shaohui's eyes flashed with a dark glint. He chuckled.
Appearing in front of Chu Mu, Hou Shaohui lightly tapped his foot and his figure instantly exploded, turning into numerous black figures. They were incomparably fast as they attacked from all directions.
This was a fourth-grade movement sword skill.
After comprehending the mysteries of good fortune, one's understanding and application of sword skills had deepened. It was much easier to use, and its power had increased by a great deal.
"Hou Shaohui's Glimpse of Black Demon movement sword skill has become even more skillful." An Extreme Black Palace Elder nodded, not stingy with his praise. "In the past, when I was at his cultivation level, I feared I would have been defeated by this move."
Many people nodded inwardly. Hou Shaohui's movement sword skill was indeed exquisite.
The reason Chu Mu agreed to fight with Hou Shaohui, besides Hou Shaohui's cheap mouth, was because he also wanted to test just how much the power of his sword skills had increased after comprehending the mysteries of good fortune.
Hou Shaohui didn't warn Lin Ming at all. He directly attacked, displaying a fourth-grade movement sword skill. It was incomparably exquisite. Even divine sense couldn't distinguish between real and fake, much less lock onto it.
Hou Shaohui had made up his mind. He would erupt with his full strength in an instant and defeat Chu Mu. He would let everyone witness just how the number one disciple had been defeated by his sword.
Towards those who provoked him, Chu Mu would never be polite.
His eyes flashed like cold stars as he caught sight of over a hundred black figures. His right hand moved and he grasped the hilt of the Retractable Sword with lightning speed. Then, Chu Mu closed his eyes.
His ears trembled slightly. All the pores on his body opened and closed, contracting. His skin instantly became very sensitive, and he could clearly feel all the aura fluctuations in the outside world.
Chu Mu suddenly realized that after comprehending the mysteries of good fortune, he could feel all the energy fluctuations in the world more clearly. When he used both the sword sense and the sword sense at the same time, the feeling was even more wonderful. It was even more wonderful than seeing with his eyes. It was completely different from seeing with his divine sense, but it wasn't any weaker.
True and false, false and true!
Hou Shaohui closed in and unleashed a fourth-grade close combat sword skill. From a strange angle, he slashed towards Chu Mu's ribs. If he was hit, Chu Mu's treasured clothes and inner armor wouldn't be able to withstand it. His entire body would be cut in two.
The Retractable Sword was unsheathed and he instantly displayed the fourth-grade defensive sword skill, Immovable Mountain.
Hou Shaohui's sword was successfully blocked by Chu Mu. Chu Mu also took advantage of the momentum to lean back slightly. His purpose was to display the defensive counterattack sword skill, Cloud Breaking Flash.
The collision of the fourth-grade sword skills caused a shocking aftershock. Rays of light shot into the sky and cut open the ground. Under the strong rebounding force, Hou Shaohui's sword was bounced up. Chu Mu seized the moment and displayed the Cloud Breaking Flash.
The dark golden Sword Light condensed. In an instant, it seemed to have traversed the sky, causing those who were watching it to be shocked.
"He immediately canceled the defensive sword skill after displaying it, and then displayed the defensive counterattack sword skill in an instant. This child's grasp of the timing of the battle can be said to be extreme. This kind of talent is really amazing." The middle-aged man from the Heavenly Sword Hall looked at Chu Mu and nodded slightly. There was a trace of admiration in his eyes.
The timing of Chu Mu's counterattack sword skill was really amazing. Many people thought that they would not be able to do it.
Hou Shaohui's expression changed greatly. His eyes were filled with the dark golden Sword Light. He only had time to barely block with his sword in front of him. Immediately, he was struck by Chu Mu's sword.
The sonorous collision was as if a tyrannical Primordial Ferocious Beast had collided head-on. The sword shook violently. The terrifying impact caused Hou Shaohui's palm to go numb. At the same time, there was a tearing pain. The bones in his forearm let out cracking sounds. He knew that the bones in his palm and forearm must have been injured and cracked.
However, he did not have the time to care about this because the terrifying impact was coming. A portion of the tyrannical power passed through the sword and blasted towards his chest.
The treasured robe and inner armor weakened a portion of the power, but there was still a portion of the power that hit his chest. His breastbone let out a slight cracking sound as if it was about to crack. The sword flew out of his hand and Hou Shaohui's body flew back like a cannonball. Blood gushed up from his mouth. He couldn't help but open it and spit it out.
With a bang, Hou Shaohui was sent flying over a hundred meters before smashing heavily into the hard ground, creating a crater. Cracks spread out at lightning speed.
Everyone's mouths were wide open. Only after three breaths did the disciples of the Extreme Black Palace react. They quickly ran over and helped the pale and heavily injured Hou Shaohui up.
Chu Mu was also a bit surprised. He didn't think that the power of this sword skill would be so strong. It had to be known that he had only used half of its power. The moment he struck Hou Shaohui, he had pulled back some of its power. Otherwise, Hou Shaohui's injuries would have been even worse. He might even have been killed by his sword.
If it was another occasion, killing Hou Shaohui wouldn't have been a big deal. However, it was not appropriate here.
The faces of the elders of the Extreme Black Palace were incomparably gloomy. Their eyes emitted a sharp light and were overflowing with killing intent. One of them suddenly made a move. A pitch-black sword light shot out and tore through the air.
Chu Mu was greatly alarmed. He felt a pain between his brows. He could only feel the shadow of death enveloping him. The darkness was invading him and he was unable to dodge.
"Dammit, you actually dared to make a move." The expression of the pavilion elder of the Flying Heaven Pavilion greatly changed. He hurriedly tried to save Chu Mu, but he was a step too late. The black sword light had already closed in on Chu Mu. At the moment of crisis, a shadow flickered and the black sword light was shattered. It was the middle-aged man from the Heavenly Sword Hall who had appeared to save Chu Mu.
Chu Mu couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. His heart was wildly beating. In that instant, he was so close to death.
"As an elder, you actually dared to attack a junior. You've gone too far." Before the pavilion elder of the Flying Heaven Pavilion could open his mouth to question him, the middle-aged man from the Heavenly Sword Hall spoke first. His tone was light, but it was somewhat heavy. His eyes flickered as he stared at the elder of the Extreme Black Palace.
"I only acted because I saw that one of our disciples was injured. I guarantee that there won't be a next time." The tall and thin elder of the Extreme Black Palace hurriedly said. However, he knew very well what he was thinking in his heart. His reason was only thirty percent true. Seventy percent was probably to get rid of Chu Mu.
"If there's a next time, the Flying Heaven Pavilion and the Extreme Black Palace will not rest until one of us is dead." One of the pavilion elders of the Flying Heaven Pavilion stared into the elder's eyes.
"It's a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding." The elder of the Extreme Black Palace's expression changed and he immediately began to laugh.
If the Flying Heaven Pavilion and the Extreme Black Palace really didn't rest until one of them was dead, then they would become sinners. This was a crime that they couldn't bear.
"Many thanks for senior's help." Chu Mu formally performed a sword salute to the middle-aged man from the Heavenly Sword Hall. As for repaying the favor, he didn't say anything. There was no need for that because he currently didn't have the ability to do so.
The middle-aged man from the Heavenly Sword Hall smiled and nodded.
Chu Mu looked at the elder of the Extreme Black Palace who wanted to kill him and asked in a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing, "May I ask for this elder's name?"
"Hehe, this old man is called Xu Jing. My cultivation base is at the second layer of the Aeon Realm." The elder of the Extreme Black Palace chuckled, not bothering to hide his disdain. "You're welcome to take revenge on me at any time. The prerequisite is that you have to live until then."
