With a loud clang, as if meteors from outer space collided, the air exploded and shook the heavens and the earth. Countless sparks exploded like fireworks on a summer night. Terrifying sword Qi swept out in all directions, bursting forth with dazzling rings of light like a supernova explosion.
Two figures surrounded by light green and light gold flew back like two meteors. The area between them was shaken into a vacuum by the intense collision. A large amount of air rushed in and formed cyclones.
The loud ear-piercing sound caused the disciples twenty meters away to cover their ears with their hands again. They clenched their teeth, and their faces twisted with malevolence.
The terrifying force of the rebound almost caused Chu Mu's sword to fly out of his hand. His palm even felt numb, and he was secretly shocked. If he hadn't used the Deflecting Technique and the Vibration Technique in time to weaken the rebound force, he would have been in a very difficult situation this time.
Sure enough, when the opponent's attainments in sword arts were also very profound, the difference in sword Qi cultivation would become even more obvious, especially in a situation where they were fighting head-on.
Xiao Qianfeng's sword was too fast, almost not inferior to Chu Mu's. Moreover, it was very strange, and had a feeling that it was endless. The final collision was even more unavoidable.
Chu Mu was one hundred percent sure that Xiao Qianfeng had definitely obtained an extraordinary fortuitous encounter or even some kind of powerful inheritance in the past few months.
Xiao Qianfeng was even more surprised. He didn't underestimate Chu Mu from the beginning, but in the short period of time since the start of the battle, he had already used seventy percent of his strength. Yet, Chu Mu was still able to fight against him without falling into a disadvantageous position.
He was very clear that he had obtained an enormous fortuitous encounter in the outside training this time. He had obtained an inheritance in the way of the sword. It was an existence that surpassed sword arts. Even a great expert of the Qi Transformation Realm would not be able to touch it. Although he could only use a small part of it now, its power was unparalleled. Not long ago, Xiao Qianfeng had used it to kill an early tenth stage Sword Qi Realm sword practitioner.
He'd originally thought that no matter how formidable Chu Mu was, he would definitely be able to defeat Chu Mu with the Sword Dao he'd inherited. But now it seemed like that wasn't the case.
With this thought in mind, Xiao Qianfeng's body paused in midair. His feet stepped on the air as if he was stepping on an invisible wall. He suddenly exerted his strength and with a loud bang, it was as if a rock had been shattered. Xiao Qianfeng's entire body was like an arrow that had left its bow as it pierced through the air and shot out. As he waved the sword in his hand, a layer of faint golden light flowed and gathered on the body of the sword, causing it to look dim and golden.
Soon after, the half-inch light golden sword radiance swallowed and spat out as it slashed out. It was as resplendent as flowing fire, and the air was torn apart, leaving behind a clear light golden slash.
Chu Mu's pupils instantly shrank to the size of needles. His heart was filled with shock. Endless sharpness tore through the void, causing his scalp to go numb. Chu Mu was sure that if he was cut by this kind of sword radiance, the second layer of the Sword Qi Protection Secret Technique wouldn't be much tougher than paper.
He paused and took a deep breath. Using the Windwalker movement technique at full strength, he flew backwards and pulled away. A trace of seriousness flashed through Chu Mu's eyes.
Immediately after, the Sword Qi around him surged violently. All the Sword Qi within a five meter radius was mobilized. An intense light shot out from Chu Mu's eyes as he let out a low shout. The Sword Qi around him gathered and was compressed onto the Hundred Refinements Sword.
The Hundred Refinements Sword already had Sword Qi attached to it. At this moment, the Sword Qi outside was constantly being compressed. The entire sword seemed to be unable to withstand it and started to tremble violently.
The terrifying Sword Qi was like a storm that swept through the surroundings. It was incomparably cold. The sword in Chu Mu's hand seemed to have become huge.
"What secret technique is that? It can actually mobilize the Qi outside of the body and compress it! " The Headmaster and the other elders were all shocked. They didn't know about the Sword Dao Grandmasters using Sword Qi outside of the body. Their intuition told them that it was a secret technique.
This was because mobilizing the Qi outside of the body could only be done after breaking through to the Qi Transformation Realm.
The Sword Qi Realm trained the potential within the body to be developed and transformed into Acquired Sword Qi.
At this moment, Chu Mu held nothing back.
The amount of Sword Qi within a five meter radius was already not inferior to the total amount of Sword Qi of any eighth stage swordsman. To completely compress it into a sword, especially one that already had Sword Qi attached to it, and to merge the Sword Qi inside and outside, was even more difficult.
"Condense!" With a low shout, Chu Mu's black hair danced wildly, shooting straight into the sky. Each strand of hair was as straight as a sword. His entire body's aura was incomparably sharp, like a sword that could cut through the air. His eyes glared, a terrifying light shooting out. His left hand opened and curved into a claw, surrounded by a faint green light, like green sand flowing through his fingers.
Starting from the sword guard, he slowly wiped his hand across the blade. His hand trembled slightly, and his green robe rustled as if it was being blown by a gust of wind.
His left hand was incomparably heavy, as if it was dragging a mountain. Wherever it passed, the incomparably turbulent and surging external Sword Qi was forcefully compressed into the Hundred Refinement Sword, adhering to the layer of internal Sword Qi and forcefully fusing with it.
When his left hand swept across the tip of the sword, all the Sword Qi was forcefully compressed into the Hundred Refinements Sword. It looked like the entire Hundred Refinements Sword was flowing with a faint green light, like wisps of wind blowing from the sword guard to the tip. There was even a faint green light in the surroundings, like flowing fire.
With a light wave, a faint green flowing fire seemed to burn in the air, leaving behind countless afterimages, bringing with it gusts of wind.
"So beautiful …" Many disciples, especially the female disciples, screamed with red hearts in their eyes.
The sword in Chu Mu's hand was indeed very beautiful. It was as if a faint cyan colored flame had condensed into it.
A trace of seriousness flashed through the eyes of the Sect Master, the Sect Master, and the Elders.
As for Li Yi and the other two, the bitterness on their faces was even more obvious. It turned out that this was their true strength. It was laughable that they thought that they were only able to defeat them because of a moment of luck. There was not much difference between their true strength.
Xiao Qianfeng was suddenly startled. He even thought that Chu Mu was like him, and had obtained some kind of Sword Inheritance.
The half-inch faint golden sword light flickered, and the dark golden Hundred Refinements Sword pierced through the air, tearing apart layers of obstacles. No wind could stop it at all, and it attacked with absolute sharpness.
A cool breeze seemed to blow past Chu Mu's eyes as he slowly swung his sword. This sword seemed to carry the weight of a thousand kilograms. It was incomparably slow, but it brought with it an incomparably strong gale, violently blowing over.
The Sword Qi within a five-meter radius was compressed and condensed. Chu Mu could clearly feel the weight of the sword in his hand increase by more than ten times, and he needed to use even more strength to swing it.
Under the gale, Xiao Qianfeng's forward charge was heavily hindered. He had no choice but to continuously swing his sword, using the incomparably sharp edge of the sword to cut through the gale. His left hand shook the air, and its speed increased by two times, shooting over.
The half-inch sword light broke through the air.
