"Don't … don't kill me …" One of the two outer disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect who worked as a coolie sat on the ground and stepped back. His face was full of fear as he begged for mercy. "You killed Senior Brother Li He and his master, Elder Yao Ri, will definitely investigate. If you let me go, I will make up a reason and tell Elder Yao Ri that Senior Brother Li He was killed by a fierce beast."
The other outer disciple had already been killed by Chu Mu and fell in a pool of blood.
"A swordsman should have a sharp edge and a proud character." Chu Mu looked indifferent and his sharp eyes stared straight at the outer disciple. He was a little disappointed with the performance of the outer disciple of the Qinglan Sword Sect and looked down on him.
At the same time, he did not think that letting the outer disciple go was tantamount to leaving himself a future problem.
Even at this time, he could kill an eighth stage Sword Qi Realm swordsman. However, every elder of the Sword Faction was a great expert who had surpassed the Sword Qi Realm. No matter how profound his swordsmanship was, in front of a gap of at least a hundred times in strength, the elder could kill him with a single strike.
The outer sword qi gathered and attached to the sword. Chu Mu's wrist shook and the outer sword qi shot out.
"No … Elder Yao Ri will not let you go …" The outer disciple roared in despair as the outer sword qi cut his neck. The wound was like a mouth and blood spurted out. He fell to the ground and died with a face full of fear and unwillingness.
Next, it was time to harvest.
After searching the five corpses, they found some good things.
Four Qi Gathering Pills, eight Qi Recovery Pills, five Blood Clotting Pills, and one Qi Training Pill, which was found on Li He's body. In addition, he also found an old silk booklet. On the cover of the booklet, there were four mottled golden words: Sword Qi Protection.
After a little flipping through, they knew what the so-called Sword Qi Protection was.
"It's a secret method …" It was very surprising.
Sword Qi, swordsmanship, sword skills, body movement, and footwork were indispensable to a swordsman. The secret method was rarer and more precious and often could significantly improve the strength of a swordsman.
"Sword Qi Protection. Judging from the content, it is to use sword qi to temper the body. When the skin and hair become transparent, it will naturally form a layer of invisible protective sword qi on the skin to protect the body." Chu Mu muttered to himself, "It's a pity that this secret technique is incomplete. It only has the first and second level. I wonder what level it belongs to?"
Although he was curious, this was clearly not a place for cultivation.
Other than that, there was nothing else. After all, silver taels were not of much use to the disciples living in the Sword Faction. If they did not go outside, they would naturally not bring it with them.
Then, he opened the two big bags carried by the two outer disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect. Inside were all materials from the fierce beasts, and they were all mid-level fierce beasts.
"The fierce teeth of the Ferocious Teeth Wolves are worth more than the fierce teeth of the Ferocious Teeth Wolves."
The Ferocious Fanged Wolf was a mutated version of the Ferocious Fanged Wolf. It was a mid-level ferocious beast and was equivalent to a seventh stage Sword Qi Realm Swordsman.
"Steel-armed Ape Hand Bone … Hemostasis Flower … Earth Dragon Root …"
The harvest of the disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect was quite rich. Once brought back to the Qinglan Sword Sect, it could be exchanged for a lot of contribution points. Unfortunately, it was Chu Mu's.
Here came the trouble. There were too many things. If he brought them all, he would not be able to go up the mountain. He had to discard some of them and keep the spiritual medicine and some smaller fierce beast materials. After packing, it was a bulging bag, at least forty to fifty pounds.
"Now I'm at the early stage of the sixth stage of the Sword Qi Realm. With one Qi-training Pill and four Qi-gathering Pills, I can at least reach the late stage or even the peak of the sixth stage. After that, I have to prepare for breaking through to the seventh stage. The experience in the Valley of Beasts is over." Chu Mu said to himself. Immediately, he looked at the Sword of Hundred Refinements in his hand. "This sword has the symbol of the Qingfeng Sword Sect. Bringing it back will do more harm than good. It will bring me trouble. I can only discard it."
He was satisfied with the toughness and sharpness of the Sword of Hundred Refinements. However, considering the trouble he would face when he returned to the sect, he had to discard it.
"The Sword of Hundred Refinements of the three inner disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect is not bad. Unfortunately, I can't bring it back. Otherwise, the deaths of the three disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect may be traced back to me. But I can't go empty-handed. Otherwise, if I encounter danger without a sword in hand, my strength will be greatly reduced. "
As he spoke, Chu Mu picked up a sword of the outer disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect. It was also a fine steel sword. The blade was smooth and the blade was complete and sharp. On the guard, there was the symbol of the Qinglan Sword Sect.
Chu Mu grabbed a Sword of Hundred Refinements and scratched off the symbol. It looked like it was worn out and could not be distinguished.
"It's time to go back." He put the bag on his back and held the sword in his left hand. He strode forward and walked to the entrance.
"With my strength now, I can kill someone at Level 8 Sword Qi Realm. Wang Feng's strength is also at Level 8 Sword Qi Realm. It shouldn't be too difficult to kill him."
"But I'm still an outer disciple. Although I have the right to challenge the inner disciples, it can only be a winner and there is no rule of life and death. It seems that I can only wait until I break through to Level 7 Sword Qi Realm to have a life-and-death battle with Wang Feng. I'm afraid that at that time, I won't have to take the initiative to challenge him. My strength will increase a lot. By then, it will be easier to kill Wang Feng."
When he walked past a few big stones, suddenly a strong wind whistled and a fishy smell hit his face. He saw a Ferocious Fanged Wolf attacking him from above. Its mouth was open and four sharp fangs were protruding, like the tip of a sword.
Chu Mu didn't even look at it. He put his right index and middle finger together like a sword. The surrounding sword Qi jumped and gathered. He casually waved his finger and a transparent sword Qi shot into the Ferocious Fanged Wolf's mouth. Blood splashed out. The Ferocious Fanged Wolf screamed and flew to the side. It crashed into a rock and fell down. The ferocious look in its eyes disappeared and was replaced with fear.
Chu Mu didn't chase after it. It was just a Ferocious Fanged Wolf. To him, it was not a big deal.
…
"The outer sect disciples of the Green Edge Sword Sect really disappoint me. Out of the hundreds of outer sect disciples, you can't even find someone who can fight me. Even your so-called number two outer sect disciple could only take three of my sword strikes. Sigh …"
Chu Mu had just returned to the Sword School. When he walked past the North District of the outer disciples, he suddenly heard such a loud voice filled with arrogance and disdain. He was startled. He looked over and found that there was a crowd of people surrounding him. Out of curiosity, he walked over.
In the middle of the crowd, there was an open space of about a hundred square meters. On the open space stood a young swordsman in a brown robe. The steel sword in his hand was pointed straight ahead. The person who was pointed at by the sword was a young swordsman in a grey robe. He was one or two years older than the young swordsman. Half-collapsed on the ground, his hands supporting him. His steel sword had fallen to the side. With the sword pointed at his throat, he didn't dare to move. However, in his eyes, there was anger and a trace of fear.
"I heard that there's someone called Li Yang in the Green Edge Sword School. He's the number one outer disciple. Call him out." At this time, another voice sounded from the side. It was also filled with arrogance. Chu Mu looked over and saw that it was another young swordsman in a brown robe. He was holding a sword in his left hand. His arms were crossed in front of his chest. His face was filled with arrogance.
"These two outer disciples of the Green Edge Sword School are too arrogant!"
"How dare they come to our Green Edge Sword School and behave so atrociously!"
The outer disciples of the Green Edge Sword School were discussing among themselves. Their voices were filled with dissatisfaction.
"But his swordsmanship is so strong. Even Senior Brother Yang Yi couldn't take a hit from him."
Yang Yi, the swordsman who was pointed at by the young swordsman, was at the middle stage of the sixth stage of the Sword Qi Realm. He was quite famous among the outer disciples. Unexpectedly, his steel sword was sent flying by the young swordsman's sword, and he was knocked to the ground with a sword pointed at his throat. He didn't even have time to use his swordsmanship.
Before Yang Yi, there were more than ten disciples at the sixth stage of the Sword Qi Realm who had fought with him. All of them were defeated with a single hit.
"Only Senior Brother Li Yang can defeat him."
"Make way, make way. Senior Brother Li Yang is here. Disciples of the Green Edge Sword School, don't think you can be so smug."
As the voice sounded, the outer disciples of the Green Edge Sword School were all agitated. They consciously made way for a young swordsman in a grey robe. He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. His body was tall and straight like a sword. His eyebrows were sharp like swords, and his eyes were sharp. As he strode over, he naturally exuded a fierce aura.
"You're Li Yang? Looks like you're quite capable. I hope you won't disappoint me. You can take a few more hits from me and make me happy. " The outer disciple of the Green Edge Sword School looked surprised. Then, he chuckled and turned his steel sword to point it at Li Yang. His tone was threatening.
"As you wish!" Li Yang said. His voice was a little deep. He slowly pulled out his steel sword and pointed it at his opponent. His aura was fierce.
A great battle was about to begin.
