"Help …"
A shrill scream startled the surroundings. It pierced through the sky and fell into Chu Mu's ears.
"Roar …"
It was followed by a huge and brutal roar. The roar was like a muffled thunder.
The scream stopped abruptly like a duck being strangled by the neck. It was silent. Only the intermittent roar and the slight sound of a drum could be heard.
Chu Mu's eyes lit up sharply. He looked into the air and looked in the direction of the sound. In front of him was a sparse forest.
"It's a fierce beast, and it should be a powerful one!" Chu Mu secretly rejoiced.
In the Qinglan Virtual Realm, where there were powerful fierce beasts, there would generally be other treasures.
At least, the gray rock wolf had verified this point.
With a flash, Chu Mu activated his movement technique and quickly charged into the small forest. Transforming into a green shadow, he sprinted away.
The small forest was not big. After a few dozen meters, there was a mountain wall. Chu Mu also saw about five meters high on the mountain wall, there was a dark hole.
"Roar …" Another huge roar was heard. It was approaching quickly and the ground was shaking. Chu Mu quickly looked and saw a tall and strong figure not far away running wildly.
This tall and sturdy figure was like a small hill that was moving quickly, causing the ground to shake continuously. It had gray skin and short gray hair. There were pieces of bulging muscles on its body, which were very obvious, like rocks.
There was a ferocious glint in his eyes. His sturdy arms were covered in blood, and the hair on his chest was also dripping with blood. A ferocious and murderous aura surged out like a tidal wave, accompanied by a foul stench.
Chu Mu's face changed slightly.
"Vigorous Stone Ape!" He whispered.
The Herculean Stone Ape was a high level vicious beast. Its strength was equivalent to a tenth phase early stage swordsman. Its fur was tough, and its skin was tough and tough. Even the Hundred Refined Sword could not harm it. Moreover, his strength was incomparably great. His arms had a terrifying strength of several thousand kilograms. Once caught by those thick and terrifying arms, one would be torn in half in an instant.
Even an ordinary early tenth phase swordsman might not necessarily be its opponent.
Chu Mu's heart was heavy. The fingers on his right hand moved gently, and his breathing became long and even. As the Sword Qi moved, his muscles relaxed slightly, and he pulled out his sword in a split second.
Sword Light was like a fleeting glimpse, Sword Qi attached to the blade, slashing out two rays of Sword Qi, tearing through the sky, killing towards the Herculean Stone Ape. Immediately after, Wind Travel used his body movement technique, drawing an arc, swinging his sword from the side.
With a loud roar, the Herculean Stone Ape waved its thick right arm, as if it was waving away flies. With two popping sounds, the two rays of Sword Qi shattered and dissipated. On the Herculean Stone Ape's arm, only a few hairs were cut off, leaving a faint mark on its gray skin.
Already expecting this, Chu Mu was not surprised at all. Like a gust of wind, he appeared on the left side of the Herculean Stone Ape. The Fake Clear Wind Sword condensed the early ninth phase Sword Qi, and like a crescent moon, it slashed out.
The Herculean Stone Ape's skin was very tough, and its strength was incomparably powerful. However, its reaction speed was a little slow. Suddenly, Chu Mu's sword slashed on its left arm. With a ripping sound, blood spurted out.
"Roar … Roar …"
The Herculean Stone Ape's simple intelligence made it think that the weak thing in his hand would not be able to harm it. However, it did not expect that he was different from those weak things from before, and was able to injure it in an instant.
The Herculean Stone Ape's eyes emitted a bloody light, and it was incomparably furious. Ignoring the wound on its left arm, its thick hands ferociously grabbed Chu Mu, intending to tear him apart.
The thick arms brought up a strong airflow, and Chu Mu used the Wind Walk Technique to dodge. Once again, he slashed out with his sword.
With a ripping sound, the skin on the Herculean Stone Ape's chest was cut open, and blood spurted out.
"Such tough skin!" Chu Mu was secretly shocked. With the sharpness of the Fake Clear Wind Sword and the Sword Qi, when he cut open the Herculean Stone Ape's skin, there was a kind of obscure feeling. One could imagine how bitter it would be for those swordsmen holding the Hundred Refinement Sword when they encountered the Herculean Stone Ape.
Being injured again did not make the Herculean Stone Ape retreat. Instead, it aroused its ferocious nature, and it became even more brutal. A thick fiendish aura rolled out from its body like a tide, and both of its arms continuously waved. Its power was huge, and when it hit the air, it let out a popping sound. One could imagine that once he was hit, under the power of a few thousand pounds, Chu Mu would definitely be heavily injured.
The Herculean Stone Ape's arms waved and hammered, bringing up an extremely powerful storm. With a roar, Chu Mu's body swayed like a willow branch in the wind, and also like a small boat in the middle of a huge wave.
Taking advantage of the gap, he struck out with his sword. The Fake Clear Wind Sword continuously cut open the Herculean Stone Ape's arms and chest, leaving behind one wound after another.
With one strike, a cool breeze blew over, and twenty-four extremely sharp killing intent rushed over like a violent wave.
"Roar … …"
Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the Herculean Stone Ape raised both of its arms up high, and the beast power in its entire body surged. With a buzzing sound, each strand of gray hair became as straight as steel needles. Vaguely, one could even see a formless power flowing on its skin, making the gray skin look like it was shining.
Puff puff puff sounds kept ringing out, and the twenty-four cold killing intent slashed onto the Herculean Stone Ape's body, but they were all shattered, and did not cause any damage to the Herculean Stone Ape.
"Beast Power Protection!" Chu Mu exclaimed in a low voice.
Like a ninth phase swordsman, high level beasts also had the ability to activate their beast power to the surface of their body, forming a protective layer.
Furthermore, the beast power of a beast was even more violent than a swordsman's sword Qi.
After the Herculean Stone Ape activated its beast power, it did not retract it, but instead channeled the beast power to its arms. Chu Mu's sharp eyes could clearly see that the beast power on the Herculean Stone Ape's body was flowing towards its arms.
Without any reason, Chu Mu's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of danger emerged, and he hurriedly retreated.
Faster than words could tell, the Herculean Stone Ape once again roared, and its thick, hammer-like fists clasped together, and fiercely smashed towards the ground.
The wind whistled, and with a loud bang, the ground shook.
The incomparably violent beast power instantly blasted into the ground, and in an instant, the ground within a radius of ten meters seemed to be boiling, violently shaking, and completely shattering, turning into pieces of hard rock the size of a human head. Sandwiched under the violent beast power, it was like a cannonball being shot out.
Boom boom boom!
"It's a beast technique!" Chu Mu was shocked, but the range was large and the speed was fast. He could only retreat about five meters, and it was impossible for him to retreat more than ten meters.
Moving, sword Qi formed an armor that covered his entire body.
In an instant, Chu Mu could only feel pieces of hard rock heavily bombarding his sword Qi armor, and the huge impact caused his body to uncontrollably fly upwards.
Clear cracking sounds rang out, like glass shattering next to his ears.
The sword Qi armor shattered under the powerful impact, and the hard rock was also shattered. However, there was still a portion that bombarded Chu Mu's invisible protective sword Qi, causing it to vibrate, stop, and dissipate.
Chu Mu flew more than ten meters in an instant, the blood Qi in his entire body shaking. Waves of pain came from where he was bombarded, as if his bones were broken.
Raising his Qi to lighten his body, he barely managed to use Windwalk and quickly flew backwards, pulling away from the Herculean Stone Ape.
After the beast technique, the ground within ten meters was shattered into countless pieces. It was a scene of devastation, and it was a shocking sight.
The Herculean Stone Ape faced the sky and stood upright. As its thick and solid arms waved, its huge fists heavily smashed onto its own hard and strong chest, producing a 'dong dong dong dong' sound similar to that of a drum. It opened its mouth and let out a 'wu wu wu' roar.
Its simple intelligence made it feel that this weak little thing couldn't possibly survive after receiving its beast technique. Therefore, it won. It won. It won. It should cheer, and it shouldn't even care about the wound.
Chu Mu landed more than twenty meters away, his blood Qi still shaking. His entire body felt uncomfortable, but he resisted this uncomfortable feeling and hurriedly used his movement technique to quickly retreat, pulling away another ten meters.
His face was a bit pale. The Herculean Stone Ape's beast technique was too powerful. If it was another ninth phase sword practitioner, even if they didn't die, they would definitely be seriously injured with just the protection of the sword Qi armor.
Luckily, other than the sword Qi armor, Chu Mu also had two layers of sword Qi armor to protect himself. The combination of the two prevented him from being injured, but the blood Qi in his entire body shook, making him very uncomfortable.
Taking advantage of the time to adjust his breathing, his blood Qi eased and calmed down. The place where he was hit also didn't hurt as much. Chu Mu let out a sigh of relief. His eyelids trembled, and his pupils emitted a sharp light like a sword.
The sword Qi in a six meter radius was immediately mobilized and gathered. Like a gust of wind, it made a whistling sound, making Chu Mu feel as if he was going to ride the wind.
The Herculean Stone Ape also noticed Chu Mu's movements. It stopped beating its chest in celebration and looked over. Seeing that this weak little thing wasn't dead or seriously injured, and seemed to be completely unharmed, it immediately became furious.
With a loud roar, the Herculean Stone Ape's thick arms supported itself on the ground and quickly rushed forward. It was like an armored vehicle rumbling as it rushed towards Chu Mu, causing the ground to shake.
Chu Mu's eyes became increasingly sharp. Under his control, the sword Qi in a six meter radius quickly condensed and followed Chu Mu's left hand that was on the sword, slowly sweeping past.
The Herculean Stone Ape was fifty meters away from Chu Mu. It would take about three to four seconds for it to rush over.
Two seconds later, Chu Mu's right hand held the fake Clear Wind Sword and slowly waved it. On the entire blade, there was a faint azure color that flowed slowly like water. It was also like a faint azure flame that burned, making it exceptionally gorgeous.
Dong dong dong sounds continuously rang out and the ground shook. The Herculean Stone Ape's figure quickly enlarged in front of his eyes. A violent aura surged forth like a wave, causing Chu Mu's black hair to fly. Moreover, there was also a stench that caused Chu Mu to almost suffocate.
Closely staring at the Herculean Stone Ape, Xiao Chen saw each of its movements clearly. Shortly after, a faint azure color flashed in his eyes. It was extremely sharp, as if it could pierce through the void.
With a low shout, Chu Mu rushed forward and rushed towards the Herculean Stone Ape. A streak of Sword Light slashed out like a meteor.
The two figures crossed each other in an instant, each of them rushing a few meters away.
The faint azure flame on the fake Clear Wind Sword flickered like a candle that had been blown by a strong wind and was instantly extinguished. The Herculean Stone Ape's arms supported itself on the ground and suddenly let out a mournful whimper. With a 'chi la' sound, a huge wound appeared on its abdomen, as if it was about to be cut in half. Blood spurted out like a fountain, mixing with its internal organs and intestines.
The ground in front of it was instantly dyed red. The Herculean Stone Ape's large and robust body slowly fell forward, its entire body constantly twitching.
Even though a high level Vicious Beast's vitality was strong, this kind of wound was too fatal. Moreover, Chu Mu's sword Qi had entered the Herculean Stone Ape's body and destroyed its weak internal organs.
