A gust of wind blew past and became stronger. It whistled, causing people's hair and clothes to flutter. Their eyes unconsciously narrowed.
It was close to winter. The wind that blew over carried a bone-piercing chill, causing many disciples to involuntarily tremble. They tightened their bodies and slightly moved their sword qi to disperse the chill.
The circular sword platform had a diameter of ten meters. The two figures stood facing each other with a distance of five meters. Their gazes met, and sharp lights shot out from each other. When they collided in the air, it was as if sword qi had shot out and exploded, creating countless ripples.
When the wind blew past them, there was a faint sword qi jumping in the air, causing the wind to immediately collapse and become disorderly.
"From the first time I saw you, I have been waiting for this day for a long time." Xiao Qianfeng said slowly. His voice was like a sword, extremely sharp. He held the sword hilt with his right hand and slowly pulled it out.
The slight friction between the sword and the scabbard drifted in the wind. It was ear-piercing. A dazzling light slowly bloomed, and an incomparably sharp aura spread out. It filled the surroundings, tearing the wind apart and shaking the void.
Chu Mu also held the sword hilt and slowly pulled it out. Pulling the sword out was only a process. It was the process of adjusting one's breathing and condensing one's aura. As the sword was pulled out inch by inch, the aura released from his body became denser and denser. The wind that blew over was completely absorbed and crushed, turning into his own.
The aura quickly spread out and filled the surroundings. It was as if countless invisible swords were attacking. The aura became denser and denser, and actually formed two spheres that surrounded Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng.
A faint green and gold light formed a three meter sphere that surrounded the two of them. Streaks of tiny sword qi shuttled back and forth like lightning, completely isolating the wind that blew over. Soon after, the sphere slowly spread out, and the two auras instantly collided.
Crackling sounds like electric shocks rang out. Faintly, one could see sparks from the collision of countless sword qi. It was as if electric arcs had exploded and jumped in the air. The faint green and faint gold light caved in.
"My sword is the Endless Sword. Take this!" Xiao Qianfeng muttered in a low voice. The speed at which he drew his sword increased, and it transformed into an incomparably fierce faint golden light that seemed to pierce through space as it pierced towards Chu Mu with earth-shattering might. It was fast, fierce, and incomparably fierce, and it directly pierced a hole in the air.
"What a fast sword!" Chu Mu was secretly surprised, but he did not show any weakness. He drew his sword at an even faster speed, and his sword was like the wind.
Clang!
Countless sparks flew out as if two meteors had collided in an instant. It was earth-shattering, and an extremely ear-piercing explosion tore through the air and spread out, heavily piercing the eardrums of everyone. Waves of pain, as if their eardrums had been pierced and torn apart, it was unbearable.
Xiao Qianfeng seemed to have long known that Chu Mu would pull out his sword. His speed was extremely fast, and the instant his sword was sealed, he instantly changed. In the blink of an eye, he had already stabbed out dozens of times. Each sword was extremely swift and fierce, and each sword pierced through the void. Each sword was an absolute killing move, and it was as if the air was completely twisted and shattered.
Extremely fierce auras descended successively onto Chu Mu, causing Chu Mu's expression to change as shock filled his heart. Xiao Qianfeng's sword was extremely fast, and every single strike was extremely powerful. His power was compressed within the sword, and when he stabbed out, not only did it pierce through the air, it also emitted intense banging sounds, as if the air was exploding.
"If you're fast, I'm faster!" With a low shout, Chu Mu's sword transformed into a boundless wind that blew over. It was already impossible to tell how many swords there were. All that could be seen was a stretch of azure that completely sealed Xiao Qianfeng's dozens of swords.
The clanging sound was endless. The sound tore through the air and was extremely ear-piercing. It caused the disciples twenty metres away to retreat one after another. Their hands covered their ears, and their faces were filled with pain. Their eyes were filled with shock.
The Qi Transformation Realm experts didn't move, but their expressions changed greatly. Li Yi, Yuwen Hua, and Wang Tinghao were even more shocked.
"What a fast sword …"
"Is this their true strength?"
"Could it be that the two of them didn't bring out their true strength when they were fighting with us?"
One of them said in a low voice. After speaking, the three of them looked at each other and bitterly smiled. Suddenly, they felt as if they didn't belong to the same generation. It was as if they were swordsmen of a generation higher than them, and they needed to look up to them.
The eyes of the monastery heads were also filled with shock. It was hard to imagine that such a high speed sword attack would appear from two disciples of the eighth and ninth stage. How could they, as seniors, endure this?
When they were at this cultivation level back then, they couldn't even be considered trash. When they thought of this, whether it was Sect Master Luo Tianxiong himself, the three monastery heads, or the various elders, they all felt extremely ashamed from the bottom of their hearts.
Suddenly, they were both happy and shocked.
They were happy that such a talented disciple had appeared in their sect. In the future, when he matured, it would be of great help to the development of the Sword Faction. They were shocked because if such a talented disciple was discovered by an even more powerful Sword Faction, they would definitely use all their strength to snatch him away. It would be a disaster for their sect.
Every one of Xiao Qianfeng's sword attacks was blocked by Chu Mu and successfully counterattacked. Xiao Qianfeng once again made his move to block Chu Mu's sword.
The two sides continuously clashed with each other. Over a hundred high-speed swords collided with each other. The swords clashed with almost all of their strength. One could only see countless Sword Light from both sides colliding with each other, creating circles of light arcs that spread out in the air like ripples of water.
When the numerous disciples adapted to this ear-piercing sound, they all turned from shock to sluggishness. They stared dumbfoundedly at the two people who were attacking at high speed on the circular sword platform.
Because of the constant collisions between the two swords, an incomparably ear-piercing sound rang out. Accompanied by visible ripples, the two swords exploded from the point of collision and spread out in all directions. The air seemed to have turned into water as countless ripples spread out.
Those disciples who thought that their sword speed was fast were instantly ashamed. Compared to Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng, the sword speed that they were so proud of was like a snail compared to a rabbit.
"As expected of Senior Brother Chu and Senior Brother Xiao. It's really too shocking." The eyes of the disciples of the three courtyards, especially the disciples of the Soaring Wind Courtyard, were shining brightly. They were extremely dazzling, like light bulbs. Suppressed cries of surprise rose and fell.
Every time the swords collided, Chu Mu would feel a wave of energy rebound that passed through the sword and into his hand, causing his hand to feel slightly numb. He almost lost his grip on the sword.
Although Xiao Qianfeng's sword Qi cultivation was only at the middle stage of ninth stage, Chu Mu felt that the purity of his sword Qi was not inferior to Chu Mu's. His cultivation was also higher than Chu Mu's. Moreover, Xiao Qianfeng seemed to be adept at condensing energy into his sword, making it even stronger.
In addition, when an eighth stage swordsman broke through to ninth stage, their body would be strengthened. In terms of theoretical explosive strength and other aspects, there would be a substantial increase. This caused the overall strength of a ninth stage swordsman to surpass that of an eighth stage swordsman by a large margin. This was also the standard used by the Azure Edge Sword Sect to differentiate between inner disciples and elite disciples.
Chu Mu had no choice but to use his basic sword technique's Force Dissipation, Vibration, and Perfect Fusion to the fullest in order to draw away the powerful recoil from each collision. Otherwise, Chu Mu would have already been defeated by this kind of high-speed collision due to the difference in cultivation.
"Xiao Qianfeng's sword technique attainments have definitely reached the level of a sword master. Moreover, he's extremely adept at condensing and compressing energy onto his sword, causing his sword to be even faster and have even greater explosive power. Adding on the sharp and forceful nature of the metal type sword aura, normal sword masters simply aren't his opponent." Chu Mu's heart trembled as he silently spoke.
However, Chu Mu was a swordsmanship master. Not only was he a swordsmanship master, but he was also a swordsman at the peak of eighth stage. With the combination of the two, his strength multiplied. He was completely fearless against Xiao Qianfeng and did not fall into a disadvantage at all.
Chu Mu was shocked, but Xiao Qianfeng was even more shocked. He originally thought that his full speed sword would be able to defeat Chu Mu, but he did not expect that even with an absolute advantage in cultivation, he would still be unable to do anything to Chu Mu.
He couldn't help but become even more excited, his battle intent surging.
