Fierce Gale Cliff was a place where strong winds blew all year round. The wind was as sharp as a knife, forcefully blowing a cliff out of the mountain, hence the name Fierce Gale Cliff.
"Senior Brother Wang, I've heard that Chu Mu, that little bastard, went to the Hundred Beast Valley to train." A young man with a hedgehog head delivered food to Wang Feng and said at the same time. The way he looked at Wang Feng was a little strange, like … admiration.
"Hundred Beast Valley training …" Wang Feng stood up, his eyes flashing with hatred. He opened his mouth and laughed with his back facing the wind. There was too much ruthlessness in his laughter, "Chu Mu, you damned bastard. In the Sword Faction, Xiao Qianfeng protected you, and because of the Law Enforcement Hall, I couldn't kill you. However, you actually went to the Hundred Beast Valley to train. You're completely seeking your own death. Wu Qiang, I'll have to ask you to help me with this matter, although I really want to personally chop off Chu Mu's head. "
"Don't worry, Senior Brother Wang. I'll break the tendons of that little bastard's arms and legs, let him feel the taste of despair, and then chop off his head." The hedgehog head licked his lips and laughed sinisterly, then turned around and left in large strides.
"Chu Mu, little bastard of the Chu Clan, the Hundred Beast Valley will be your burial ground." After Wu Qiang left, Wang Feng turned around and faced the wind. His black hair and long robe fluttered as he muttered to himself in a low voice. Now was the second day of his punishment, so he couldn't personally go to the Hundred Beast Valley. Therefore, he asked Wu Qiang to do it. He wanted Chu Mu dead, and he couldn't wait for even a second.
… …
"Awooo … …" Low and angry howls continuously sounded. The wind whistled as three grey figures attacked from different directions like lightning. They pounced over, their sharp claws flashing with a cold luster, tearing everything apart.
A figure with messy footsteps, his body seemed to have turned into a willow branch. A gust of wind blew, and his body swayed along with the wind, almost brushing past the cold claws.
Chu Mu's expression was relaxed and carefree. It was as if he wasn't surrounded by three Ferocious Fanged Wolves, but was instead enjoying the scenery. The combination of Chaotic Steps and Swaying Willow in the Wind was almost perfect. Within a small area, he dodged the sharp claws of the three Fierce Fanged Wolves, creating countless afterimages, causing the attacks of the Fierce Fanged Wolves to all miss. Suddenly, a hint of sharpness flashed through his eyes.
With a clanging sound, the Snow White Sword Light flashed. It was as if a gust of wind was blowing, condensing into a faint green light. Thrusting, chopping, cutting, one sword split into three, leaving behind three sword shadows. Three blood-curdling screams were heard, and three streaks of blood blossomed.
The three Vicious Fanged Wolves' left eyes were tightly shut, and a wisp of scarlet blood flowed out.
Even though one of the Fierce Fanged Wolf's eyes was damaged, its ferocious nature was stimulated and it became even more violent. One of the Fierce Fanged Wolves charged from the front. Its head protruded and its mouth opened, revealing its frightening sharp teeth. It was like a sword piercing towards Chu Mu, wanting to tear him apart.
One of the Fierce Fanged Wolves charged from behind, waving its sharp claws. The afterimages of the claws crisscrossed, grabbing towards Chu Mu's legs, wanting to tear Chu Mu's legs apart.
One of the Fierce Fanged Wolves suddenly jumped up high, and from top to bottom, it opened its front claws, wanting to tear Chu Mu into pieces from top to bottom.
The three Fierce Fanged Wolves, at this moment, actually showed an extremely skilled cooperation, surrounding Chu Mu from top to bottom. Their speed was extremely fast, unbelievably fast. If it were any swordsman at the sixth level of the Sword Qi Realm, he would definitely die.
At the moment of danger, Chu Mu's expression was calm. His body moved, swaying violently like a willow branch being blown by a strong wind. In an instant, three figures appeared, as if they were split from his body. Three heads and six arms, each of the three figures attacked with a sword.
It was as if three gusts of wind blew over. These three sword attacks did not use the Breeze Brushing Faces, but were just basic sword techniques that incorporated some understanding of the wind.
The three sword attacks once again pierced the eyes of the Fierce Fanged Wolves … in their right eyes.
The Sword Light condensed, and the power penetrated the tip of the sword. A tyrannical force pressed against the tip of the sword, breaking into the right eyes of the Fierce Fanged Wolves. The Sword Light twisted, and the right eyes of the Fierce Fanged Wolves were crushed. Blood splattered, and they screamed in pain, flying backwards.
This time, he did not hold back at all. After the three Fierce Fanged Wolves fell to the ground, they kept crying out, struggling, twitching, and whimpering. However, one of their eyes was tightly shut, and the other was a terrifying bloody hole with blood gushing out. The terrifying power penetrated their brains through their right eyes and destroyed them.
"Ten days. Every day, I will fight with the fierce beasts." Chu Mu glanced at the three struggling Fierce Fanged Wolves and said to himself, "Swordsmanship is indeed the art of killing. In these ten days, although I did not practice swordsmanship as usual, my attainment in swordsmanship has improved in a straight line. In just ten days, my progress in swordsmanship has surpassed that of a year of hard practice."
"After the baptism of blood, I feel that whether I attack or withdraw the sword, there is a sense of returning to the original. My basic swordsmanship has reached a bottleneck. If I break through again, I will reach the level of a swordsmanship grandmaster."
As he spoke, his heart beat faster, and his tone was somewhat excited.
"A swordsmanship grandmaster can have sword Qi. What is the difference between this sword Qi and the sword Qi of a swordsman?"
After a long while, Chu Mu calmed down. He knew that although his basic swordsmanship had reached a bottleneck, he also knew that once he broke through, he would definitely become a swordsmanship grandmaster.
However, many swordsmanship grandmasters were stuck at this bottleneck for their entire lives, unable to break through even when they died.
However, once they broke through, they would be able to use the sword Qi to nourish their bodies, rejuvenate their bodies, and extend their lifespan by thirty to forty years.
At this time, the three Fierce Fanged Wolves stopped struggling and died completely. Chu Mu once again removed the fangs of the Fierce Fanged Wolves.
In ten days, he had eaten all the dry rations he had brought. He had also refilled his water bottle several times. His steel sword had been damaged and thrown away. Now, there were many small cracks on his current sword.
After all, the steel sword was only used by outer disciples to practice swordsmanship. Its quality was average, and the fierce beasts' fur was very tough. After being cut many times, it was quickly damaged.
Fortunately, his swordsmanship was superb, and he always killed the fierce beasts with the smallest price. If it were other swordsmen, the steel sword would be completely damaged within two days.
"This sword probably won't be able to last for many days. My basic swordsmanship has reached a bottleneck. Although the increase in power is not as great as the Breeze Sword Art, it still allows me to attack faster and more nimbly." Chu Mu muttered to himself, "The only pity is that my sword Qi cultivation is still at the early fifth stage of the Sword Qi realm. I haven't found any spiritual herbs that can increase my cultivation."
Walking to the side of a stream, he took down his water bottle and refilled it. At this time, four people in their twenties and thirties walked over. They were dressed in tight clothes and had swords on their backs. Their steps were steady, and it seemed that they had a solid foundation. When they saw Chu Mu, they had different expressions.
"Are you an outer disciple of the Azure Edge Sword Sect?" The leader of the four swordsmen was around thirty years old. He had a square face, and his eyes flickered. He swept his eyes over Chu Mu's body and glanced at Chu Mu's steel sword. He squeezed out a smile and cupped his hands towards Chu Mu as he spoke politely.
"What's the matter?" Chu Mu hung up his water bottle and replied indifferently. He was secretly impressed by this guy's observation skills. He was able to recognize his identity from the symbol on his grey robe and steel sword.
"Sir, let's talk in private." The leader's eyes flashed with a mysterious light. He approached Chu Mu and said in a low voice, "We found a stalk of Three Sun Grass that is about to mature. However, there is a Black Back Bear guarding it. The Black Back Bear is a mid-level fierce beast with the strength of a seventh stage Sword Qi realm warrior. The four of us might not be able to do anything to it. And sir, you are a disciple of the Azure Edge Sword Sect. Your strength is not something that loose swordsmen like us can compare to. I believe that with your help, we will definitely be able to kill that Black Back Bear and get the Three Sun Fruit. "
"Is that so? After we get the Three Sun Fruit, how will we split it?" Chu Mu's eyes flashed with a hint of playfulness as he asked.
"We have admired the Azure Edge Sword Sect for a long time. Unfortunately, our talents are not good enough. We are not fated to be with your sect." The leader of the loose swordsmen sighed and then changed the topic, "We are not greedy. As long as we have the corpse of the Black Back Bear and the Three Sun Grass, it will be enough. As for the Three Sun Fruit, it will belong to you. How about it? Sir, I believe that with the Three Sun Fruit, your sword Qi cultivation will improve significantly. At that time, please don't forget about us. "
"No problem." Chu Mu purposely showed a smug expression and smiled.
