A figure quickly rushed out of the crowd and rushed towards Chu Mu, intending to kill Chu Mu. He felt that Chu Mu was motionless at this time, most likely unable to move. It was the best time to kill him.
Xiao Qianfeng caught a glimpse of the figure from the corner of his eye and suddenly turned into a pale golden light, piercing the sky with his sword.
"The Qinglan Sword Sect will not let you go …" The last threat was shrill, a pale golden light flashed, and abruptly stopped like a duck being choked by the neck.
The last disciple who tried to kill Chu Mu glared at Xiao Qianfeng with eyes full of unwillingness and resentment. His body slowly fell back and died. The blood that flowed out soaked his body and seeped into the dry ground.
Xiao Qianfeng shook off the blood on his sword and glanced at it. The sharpness in his eyes was extremely threatening. He withdrew his gaze and looked at Chu Mu, sheathing his sword.
"The elite disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect are finally all dead." Yuwen Wenhua breathed a sigh of relief. He only felt a kind of exhaustion and weakness. Both the sword aura and physical strength in his body had been greatly consumed.
Li Yi's face was even paler. The wound on his back had not healed and now it was torn again, oozing a lot of blood and staining the back of his clothes red. However, under his tired expression, there was a bit of excitement and excitement.
The same expression appeared on the faces of everyone who was still alive. The 13 elite disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect were all at the late and peak of the ninth stage. At this time, not a single one of them was left alive. They were all turned into thirteen corpses lying on the ground. Their blood became the nutrients that soaked the dry ground.
The eyes of the thirteen corpses were full of unwillingness and resentment. Their expressions were ferocious like evil spirits, staring at the sky as if they were silently asking why. Why did they end up like this? Should this not happen to the disciples of the Qingfeng Sword Sect and the Qingshui Sword Sect?
Killing these elite disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect, especially at the end when they knew that they would not be able to leave this place alive, caused a lot of damage to the Qingfeng Sword Sect and the Qingshui Sword Sect.
The Green Edge Sword Sect originally consisted of Li Yi, Yuwen Hua, Wang Tinghao, Xiao Qianfeng, and Xie Chunlei. However, Xie Chunlei was the only one left out of the three of them. Moreover, he had lost an arm. Fortunately, it was his left hand that was cut off and not his right. Otherwise, his swordsmanship would have been crippled.
As for Qingshui Sword Sect, the loss was even greater. Two elite disciples at the late stage of the ninth level and two at the middle stage of the ninth level were all killed, leaving only Yao Bifeng and another disciple at the peak of the ninth level alive.
Originally, most of the elite disciples of the Qingshui Sword Sect had died under the sword of Wei Hong. Now, after this battle, only two people survived in the end. Both of them suffered some minor injuries. This loss was also very heavy. It could be said that it was the worst loss that the three major sword sects had ever suffered when entering the Qinglan Void Realm.
Even though they had won, there was still a sense of sadness in their hearts. All of this was because of the conspiracy of the Qinglan Sword Sect. If the Qinglan Sword Sect did not have such a conspiracy, at least a dozen disciples from each sword sect would have left the Void Realm alive.
Everyone took out the Energy Recovery Pill and threw it into their mouths to recover their Sword Qi. Those who were injured also used the Hemostasis Pill to stop bleeding and heal their wounds. Xie Chunlei, who had lost his left arm, looked frighteningly pale. The wound was dripping with blood, and the pain made him gasp for breath.
After some time, Chu Mu's physical strength recovered a little and he could barely move. He sheathed his sword, took out some Energy Recovery Pills, and swallowed them. He sat down cross-legged and channeled the Zhongyuan Sword Qi, turning it into a gentle Qi that flowed in his meridians, restoring his Sword Qi.
All of the Energy Recovery Pills were refined, and a small part of the Sword Qi was restored. Chu Mu immediately took out a stone that contained pure spiritual energy and held it in his hand. He channeled the Sword Qi and absorbed it. The recovery speed of the Sword Qi had obviously increased by several times.
Not long after, the Sword Qi of the peak of the ninth level was completely restored. However, the physical and mental consumption had only recovered a small part, but it was enough to support Chu Mu's normal movements.
Putting away the stone that contained pure spiritual energy, Chu Mu quickly got up and looked back. He found that all the disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect were dead. He withdrew his gaze and glanced at Wei Hong's body. In a flash, he appeared next to Wei Hong's body.
Five Energy Training Pills, twenty Energy Recovery Pills, and fifteen Hemostasis Pills. There was also a Yellow-Level Upper Grade Fire Sword Qi Manual and a pseudo-sword. These were the spoils that Chu Mu got from Wei Hong. As for the other elixirs and the like, they had been thrown out by Wei Hong as bait and were torn apart by the Horned Python.
The Energy Recovery Pills and the Hemostasis Pills were the upgraded versions of the Energy Recovery Pills and the Hemostasis Pills. Naturally, the effect was much better, and the value was higher. However, what really made Chu Mu happy was the Yellow-Level Upper Grade Fire Sword Qi Manual and the pseudo-sword.
"Pseudo-Fire Python Sword …" Chu Mu stared at the words on the pseudo-sword and read, "It seems that this should be a replica of the real Fire Python Sword. Yes, I used to practice dual swordsmanship for a period of time. When I return to the Sword Sect, I will take some time to review and master the dual swordsmanship. This way, I will be able to use dual swordsmanship against enemies in the future. "
"As for this Yellow-Level Upper Grade Fire Sword Qi Manual, it is not of much use to me. However, I will keep it first. Who knows, it might come in handy in the future."
The value of a Yellow-Level Upper Grade Sword Qi Manual was extraordinary. It far exceeded the value of a Yellow-Level Middle Grade Sword Qi Manual. Even in the Qingfeng Sword Sect, Yellow-Level Upper Grade Sword Qi Manuals were rare. Whether it was to contribute to the Qingfeng Sword Sect, give it to his family, or keep it for himself, it was a good choice.
He casually drew a few sword flowers and familiarized himself with the fake Fire Python Sword in his hand. He sheathed the sword and tied it to his back. Then, he tidied up everything else and grabbed his fake Qingfeng Sword. He strode towards the Ancient Tree of Qinglan.
Chu Mu's target was the horn on the forehead of the Deadwood Horned Python that was heavily injured by the two of them. His body turned into a gust of wind and quickly blew towards the Ancient Tree of Qinglan. After a careful scan, Chu Mu found the Deadwood Horned Python that was hanging limply on a tree trunk.
The Deadwood Horned Python looked very miserable. There were three to four holes on its body that were caused by Chu Mu and Wei Hong's Sword Qi. There were also more than ten cuts on its body. It was a ghastly sight and there were even some burn marks around the wounds. However, Chu Mu could still feel a faint breath from the Deadwood Horned Python's body, indicating that it was not completely dead yet.
"What an amazing vitality." Chu Mu sighed. The more powerful the beast, the more tenacious its vitality.
With a clang, he drew his sword and slashed out a Sword Qi. With a puff, the Deadwood Horned Python's body was sent flying. At the same time, a mouthful of dark green venom was shot towards Chu Mu like an arrow. However, because the distance was too far, the venom fell to the ground before it could reach Chu Mu, corroding a hole in the dry ground.
"What a cunning and ferocious thing." Chu Mu was slightly surprised. Fortunately, he was vigilant enough to send out a Sword Qi to test the waters. Otherwise, if he got too close, he would probably be counterattacked. Once the venom touched his body, he would probably die.
He slashed out a few more Sword Qi and all of them hit the Deadwood Horned Python's body. The Deadwood Horned Python was sent flying, but it did not make any other movements. The remaining breath was completely annihilated.
After confirming that the Deadwood Horned Python was truly dead, Chu Mu approached it with ease. However, he was still highly vigilant.
Staring at the horn on the Deadwood Horned Python's forehead, Chu Mu immediately waved his sword and cut off the horn like a carving. With a light flick of his sword, the horn fell into his hand.
The horn was not big, only as long and thick as a thumb. There was no blood or flesh on it, which showed Chu Mu's unparalleled control over the sword in his hand. Looking at the horn, Chu Mu did not see anything special about it. However, since Wei Hong said so, there should be some basis. After returning to the Sword Sect, he might be able to find out if he checked the relevant books.
He wrapped up the horn and placed it in his arms, then swept his gaze over the Deadwood Horned Python's corpse. Originally, the body of such a high-level fierce beast was also very valuable, especially the skin, which was extremely tough and could be made into inner armor and so on. However, the injuries on the Deadwood Horned Python were too serious. The skin was broken and was not of much use. Chu Mu naturally did not bother to peel it off.
At this moment, another strange change occurred.
The bare Ancient Qinglan Tree suddenly trembled, causing the surrounding ground to shake and make a rumbling sound, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Then, the Ancient Qinglan Tree shrank rapidly as it shook. In just a few breaths, the original height of 30 meters shrank to 20 meters, and then quickly shrank to 10 meters.
After a while, under everyone's eyes, the entire huge Qinglan Ancient Tree shrunk to the size of a finger. With a swoosh, it disappeared under the dry and dark ground, leaving not even a trace.
"This …" Chu Mu and the others were shocked.
Whether it was the way the Ancient Qinglan Tree appeared or disappeared, it was extremely shocking. It felt as inconceivable as a spell, completely beyond their understanding.
If it were not for the harvest and the surrounding corpses, they would have thought that everything just now was just an illusion, like a dream.
Exhaling a turbid breath, Chu Mu withdrew his gaze and the shock in his heart gradually calmed down. Then, he looked at Xiao Qianfeng and the others and strode over.
Wei Hong was dead, and the elite disciples of the Qinglan Sword Sect should all be dead. In the entire Qinglan Void Realm, only the disciples of the Qingfeng Sword Sect and the Qingshui Sword Sect were still alive, but the Void Realm of Qinglan was not closed. This meant that these people could join forces and form a team to sweep the entire Void Realm of Qinglan and find all the valuable things and bring them out.
Sometimes, victory and defeat, life and death, were so simple and direct.
