At the foot of Qinglan Mountain, there was a small town called Qinglan Town.
Qinglan Town was the only town at the foot of Qinglan Mountain. Almost everyone who went in and out of Qinglan Mountain had to pass through it. Over time, Qinglan Town became lively and crowded.
Chu Mu brought some dry food and water down Qinglan Mountain. When he arrived at Qinglan Town, it was already past noon. He found a small shop and had a bowl of beef noodles. After a short rest, he left Qinglan Town and headed in the direction of Kaiyang City.
Kaiyang City was not particularly far from Qinglan Town. As long as he walked along the road, he would be able to reach it in about two days.
Chu Mu did not use any means of transportation. Walking was also a kind of practice. Besides, his grandfather's birthday was in a few days. There was still time.
What Chu Mu did not know was that since he entered Qinglan Town, pairs of eyes were secretly watching him and spreading the news to each other. Shortly after Chu Mu left Qinglan Town, some people also left with swords.
The sun was setting in the west and the sunset dyed half the sky red. Chu Mu was already quite far away from Qinglan Town.
Tonight, he would have to sleep in the wild.
Unknowingly, the sky was dark. Chu Mu walked to the side of the road. There were a few stones. He planned to stay here for the night and continue his journey in the morning.
Eating jerky and drinking water, Chu Mu's movements paused. Looking back at the path he came from, three figures appeared. They sped up and leapt over. This let Chu Mu know that they were coming for him.
"Hehe, I finally caught up."
The three men spread out to form a triangle and surrounded Chu Mu. One of them was a strong middle-aged man. In the early winter, he was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt. His muscles bulged like rocks and he carried a sword on his back.
The other was a short middle-aged man with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks. He had triangular eyes and looked very sinister. Two short swords hung from his waist.
The third person looked very ordinary. He was a middle-aged man without any protrusions. He was expressionless and carried a very ordinary sword. However, it was him that made Chu Mu feel a trace of danger.
"What business do the three of you have?" Chu Mu wordlessly put down the jerky and glanced at the Hundred Refinement Sword to the side as he spoke indifferently. His Aura Observing Art could not see through their cultivation, which meant that their Sword Qi cultivation was above Chu Mu's.
"Nothing serious." The brawny man grinned, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth. His eyes flashed with a strange light. "I just want to borrow something from you."
"What is it?" Chu Mu followed the other party's words and suddenly threw the jerky to the ordinary-looking middle-aged man. He grabbed the Hundred Refined Sword and unsheathed it with a clang. The snow-white Sword Light illuminated the darkness like lightning. This sword, with an incomparably swift and fierce posture, pierced towards the brawny man like a fierce wind.
"Borrow your …" Before the last two words came out, the brawny man was shocked by Chu Mu's actions. It was completely unexpected. The Sword Light was so dazzling that he subconsciously narrowed his eyes. At the same time, he fiercely stomped on the ground and quickly retreated, holding the sword hilt with a backhand grip.
Unsheathing and slashing down, the big sword could split mountains and split rocks. The strong wind whistled and a strong pressure rolled. In an instant, this brawny man's rich battle experience and adaptability were displayed.
At the same time, the ordinary-looking middle-aged man unsheathed his sword. The sword was extremely fast. It drew an arc and cut open the jerky. A light green Sword Qi shot through the air towards Chu Mu.
The short middle-aged man crossed his hands and pulled out his short sword. He was almost close to the ground. He was silent and fast. The short sword was sharp and flashed with a cold and sharp light. It stabbed towards Chu Mu's feet.
Top, middle, and bottom. The three sides cooperated skillfully and the power was shocking.
However, Chu Mu used Wind Travel and his body seemed to float in the air as if he was weightless. The Hundred Refined Sword lightly knocked against the large sword, causing the sword to vibrate and knock the large sword away. His body borrowed the force to shift to the side, drawing an arc and dodging the sword aura and the short middle aged man's attack.
Turning around, like a swallow flying back, the sword cut horizontally. It was extremely beautiful and full of killing intent.
The brawny man's eyes were filled with shock. He desperately wanted to dodge, but he was still a bit too slow. With a swoosh, Chu Mu's sword cut through the brawny man's neck. Blood spurted out like a fountain.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Chu Mu's body was light as a feather. His sword was like the wind, stabbing towards the short middle-aged man. The speed was too fast. The short middle-aged man's face was filled with shock. He hurriedly waved his two short swords and desperately retreated.
The ordinary-looking middle-aged man was shocked. He used his killer move. The sky was filled with sword shadows like a fierce wind, completely enveloping Chu Mu.
Intermediate Sword Art: Hurricane Sword Art's Killer Move – Hurricane Kill!
Chu Mu changed his sword style and used the Dazzling Breeze. Under the twenty percent Wind Mentality, the power of the Dazzling Breeze was not inferior to a normal intermediate Killer Move. The cold killing intent and the sword shadows clashed and canceled each other out.
Chu Mu's left hand pointed forward. The Sword Qi cut through the air and attacked the short middle-aged man.
"Damn it! How is this a new inner disciple of the Sword Faction?" The short middle-aged man cursed. He waved his short sword continuously, blocking Chu Mu's Sword Qi and counterattacking. He held his two swords and stabbed out in a cross. His body rose into the air and spun at high speed. He rushed towards Chu Mu like an electric drill. Around him, the air was torn into pieces. It was extremely sharp, and dust was flying everywhere.
The air flow intensified. Chu Mu's right foot tapped on his left foot and used his Wind Travel Body Art. He followed the air flow and floated to the side. Clouds mentality, Shocking Cloud Kill!
"This guy is so hard to deal with!" The ordinary-looking middle-aged man's face changed. He used his killer move again: Hurricane Kill!
As the killing moves collided, Sword Qi crisscrossed and sliced through the air, creating a sizzling sound that caused one's scalp to go numb. Chu Mu took the opportunity to retreat and avoid the Violent Wind Kill.
"Hurricane Kill!"
Under the twenty percent Wind Mentality, the power of the Hurricane Kill increased by several times. The one meter long light blue wind blade followed Chu Mu's attack and flew towards the short middle-aged man.
"No …" The short middle-aged man panicked. He waved his two swords again and again. The Sword Qi surrounded him and tried to block the wind blade.
With a 'puchi' sound, the Sword Qi was shattered and the two swords were blown away. The wind blade chopped off the short middle-aged man's two forearms and finally landed on his neck. His head flew up into the air. The wound was squirming and blood was gushing out like a fountain.
The short middle-aged man was scared out of his wits. He released two Sword Qi and attacked Chu Mu. Meanwhile, he retreated and ran for his life, trying to escape.
"Since you are here, then go down and accompany your companions." Chu Mu's eyes were filled with killing intent. He shouted and used his Wind Travel with all his strength. He avoided the sword Qi and shot out like a gust of wind.
The killing intent behind him made the middle-aged man pale. His face was full of shock and fear.
He had never thought that the guy he thought was his prey would turn into a hunter and kill two of his companions in such a short time. This kind of strength was not something he could mess with.
Gritting his teeth, the middle-aged man poured Sword Qi into his feet and used his movement art to run away. However, Chu Mu's movement art was better and faster. He quickly closed the distance.
Sword Qi shot out, and the middle-aged man had no time to dodge at all. He only felt a pain in his calf, and blood spurted out, almost causing him to fall forward. Sou! A figure flashed past him, and a cold sensation spread from his neck. A sword was placed on his neck.
The middle-aged man's face was full of fear. His eyes were full of shock. His face was pale and his lips were trembling.
"Why do you want to kill me?" Staring into the middle aged man's eyes, Chu Mu's voice was as cold as the northern wind in the middle of winter: "Speak."
"I … I said, you can't kill me." The middle-aged man endured the pain in his calf and trembled.
"If you don't speak, I will make 360 cuts on your body and let you slowly experience the feeling of death." Chu Mu's voice was even colder.
The middle-aged man seemed to be imagining that scene. His face was even paler and he could not help but tremble.
"It's … it's Qinglan … Qinglan Sword Sect. They asked us to kill a new inner disciple of the Qingfeng Sword Sect. They even had a portrait …" The middle-aged man was almost crying. This Qinglan Sword Sect was too f * cking deceitful.
"Qinglan Sword Sect …" Chu Mu hesitated for a moment.
"You … … you can't kill me … … I'm … …" the middle aged man seemed to have sensed Chu Mu's killing intent, but before he could finish speaking, Chu Mu's sword had already pierced his throat, causing his eyes to widen with boundless unwillingness. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell limply to the ground.
