Qinglan Mountain was located in a relatively remote part of Lizhou. Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng left Luo Yufeng and the others and traveled together. Fortunately, they had the topographic map of the sword sect for them to consult. Before they left, they had already memorized the topographic map.
After going down the mountain, Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng did not go to Qinglan Town. Instead, they went in the direction of Qinglan Town along a remote road. Both of them carried a bag on their backs. Inside the bags were naturally some things that must be used. As for the elixirs and the like, of course, they were kept in their arms.
Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng were both people of few words. Along the way, they used their movement techniques to leap forward. Although they didn't say anything, neither of them fell behind. Their speed was extremely fast, and they were like two strong gusts of wind blowing forward, causing the tender green grass on the side of the road to bend over.
At the same time, from the Qinglan Sword Sect, there was also a masked figure in gray with a sword on his back. He used his body movement extremely fast, leaping up like an eagle, and went down the mountain.
"Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng … the two genius disciples of the Qingfeng Sword Sect. If such disciples were placed in the Qinglan Sword Sect, it would be a blessing for the sect. But if they were placed in other sword sects, especially the Qingfeng Sword Sect, it would be a disaster for the sect." The masked man said to himself in a voice that only he could hear. In his long and narrow eyes, there was an astonishing murderous intent. "These two people must be killed. With my Sword Qi cultivation at the beginning of the Qi Transformation Realm, no matter how strong they are, as long as they have not broken through to the Qi Transformation Realm, there is no way they can be my opponents. If I want to kill them, it will be a piece of cake. "
It was said that it was easier to go up the mountain than to go down the mountain. However, the masked man in gray was incredibly fast. The rugged Qinglan Mountain did not pose the slightest hindrance to him. Instead, he used the terrain to be faster and more flexible.
The two figures in the running suddenly stopped and looked at each other. From each other's clear eyes, there was a trace of seriousness in their own eyes.
It was a feeling that came from the mind. They felt that there seemed to be some kind of danger coming, and the target was the two of them.
A glint flashed across his eyes. Immediately, he smiled in a carefree manner and the two of them moved once again. Crisis? To be able to make them feel a sense of danger, the opponent must be very powerful or have all kinds of schemes and plots. However, he believed in the sword in his hand. With the sword in his hand, he would be able to break through all schemes and schemes. No matter how strong the enemy was, he would not be afraid!
As he ran, he approached a cliff. The bottom of the cliff was so deep that he couldn't see the bottom. It was as if it was shrouded in clouds all year round. It was full of mystery.
Suddenly, a gust of wind whistled from behind them, causing Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng's expressions to slightly change as they subconsciously separated to the left and right. At the same time, from the middle, a figure wrapped in an incomparably strong gale swept past, blowing the sand and stones on the ground into the air, and the tender green grass was almost uprooted.
Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng were blown away by the wind, and they quickly retreated. Their eyes narrowed slightly, and as their pupils contracted, a trace of sharp light shot out as they stared at the figure in front of them who had stopped and turned around.
A pair of long and narrow eyes that were exposed to the outside shot out a sharp light that was like the edge of a sword. They swept across Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng's faces from dozens of meters away. The sharpness of the light was very threatening, causing Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng to feel slightly suffocated. It was as if the surrounding air was being compressed, causing them to feel oppressed.
"Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng, that's the two of you. Go to hell." A strange cackle rang out, and the voice was deliberately lowered. A trace of playfulness appeared in the long and narrow eyes of the gray-clothed masked man. In an instant, he raised his right hand and grabbed the hilt of his sword with lightning speed. An extremely ear-piercing sound of metal rubbing against each other rang out, causing the air to vibrate.
Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng only felt their vision blur for a moment. Immediately, an incomparably fierce and scorching aura spread out like a torrent of flames. From afar, Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng felt as if they were being roasted and suffocated. It was as if a raging furnace had suddenly appeared in front of them.
Following that, they each saw a fiery red sword aura that seemed to tear apart the world in front of their eyes as it slashed towards them at high speed. This fiery red sword aura was incomparably dense, as if it was formed by the compression of two flames. It filled their eyes, and nothing else could be seen.
In an instant, an intense and fatal sense of danger came from their hearts. Their brains felt as if they were about to explode. The sword aura within their Dantian crazily surged out of their meridians like a torrent that had broken through a dam. Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng could clearly feel that their meridians were about to burst.
Their eyes widened, and their pupils contracted and contracted in an instant. Without holding anything back, they let out a low roar as their throats slightly squirmed. Their feet forcefully stomped on the ground, and the sword aura violently shot out, causing the ground to shatter and green grass to fly everywhere. The two figures instantly transformed into two auroras and shot out in different directions. Two fiery red sword auras shot past them by a hair's breadth. The incomparably intense heat felt as if it was going to burn the two of them into ashes.
Two loud bangs rang out as the two fiery red sword auras bombarded the ground in the distance. They immediately exploded, and countless amounts of soil were charred black. The shockingly high temperature shot out in all directions like bullets.
Along the way, two clear scorched marks could be seen on the ground. Everywhere they passed, the vibrant green grass would wither and shatter.
Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng paused their bodies in a somewhat sorry state. They threw their bags to the side and leaned forward slightly. Their right hand gripped the hilt of their sword, and their eyes emitted an incomparably sharp light that pierced through the air. They stared at the grey clothed masked man from afar with incomparable seriousness.
Qi Transformation Realm! That's right, the power of those two fiery red sword auras was incomparably tyrannical. Once they were hit, even if they didn't die, they would be injured. That was something that only Xiantian sword auras could do. And to be able to grasp Xiantian sword auras, one had to be at least a Qi Transformation Realm expert.
Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng's hearts were incomparably serious. At the same time, a trace of excitement and agitation slowly grew in the depths of their hearts, gradually bursting forth. In essence, Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng were actually the same kind of people. They were born for the sword, crazy for the sword, and crazy for the sword. It was just that the way they displayed it was somewhat different.
The expression in their eyes changed little by little. Traces of madness gradually appeared in their eyes.
"You actually dodged. The two of you do have some ability." A trace of astonishment appeared in the grey clothed masked man's long and narrow eyes. He then coldly laughed, "However, in front of me, you are like ants. Obediently accept the arrival of death. Resistance will only make you suffer more."
Before the grey clothed masked man finished speaking, Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng's feet fiercely stomped on the ground. Countless amounts of dirt flew up, and two holes appeared in the ground. With a whoosh, two figures, one on the left and one on the right, shot towards the grey clothed masked man, and the surrounding scenery rapidly receded.
A clanging sound rang out, as if divine metals from outer space collided. It was ear-piercing and sharp. A trace of light green and a trace of light gold condensed into a line, transforming into two aurora-like rays of light that carried an incomparably strong killing intent. One from above and one from below, slashed towards the grey clothed masked man.
Although they had never worked together before, at this moment, the two of them had an extremely great tacit understanding. They completely sealed off the grey clothed masked man's advance and retreat. Moreover, their sword auras had condensed into a sharp edge. This was because they both knew that with their initial tenth phase sword auras, they simply couldn't pose any threat to a Qi Transformation Realm expert. Only the sharp edge of a fake sword could cause damage to a Qi Transformation Realm expert's Xiantian sword aura.
"Two ants. How interesting. You actually dared to attack me." A trace of astonishment flashed through the grey clothed masked man's long and narrow eyes. Soon after, it turned into a playful expression. With two swishing sounds, he once again slashed out two streaks of fiery red sword aura. However, Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng, who were charging at high speed, suddenly twisted their bodies in a strange manner. Not only did they avoid the grey clothed masked man's sword aura, they also strangely accelerated their approach and attacked with their two swords.
The grey clothed masked man's sword attack was extremely fast, as if it had split into two sword shadows. It sealed off Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng's attacks from above and below, producing ear-piercing clanging sounds.
Under the powerful force, Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng only felt the fake swords in their hands tremble. Their palms went numb, and their fake swords almost flew out of their hands. Chu Mu used a technique to disperse the force of the rebound. Swish, swish, swish. His sword stabbed out like a cool breeze. On the other hand, Xiao Qianfeng turned his body to disperse the force of the rebound. He turned around and slashed out with an extremely swift and fierce slash.
The grey clothed masked man's heart trembled. He completely didn't expect that Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng would actually have this kind of reaction. He hurriedly struck out with his sword and blocked Xiao Qianfeng's sword. Then, he immediately turned around and blocked Chu Mu's sword.
But who was Chu Mu? He was at the Sword Master Realm. How could his sword be so easy to block?
It seemed simple, but there was actually a profound principle behind it. After a few strikes, the expression of the grey clothed masked man suddenly changed. He actually couldn't catch the trajectory of Chu Mu's sword. He could only rely on his higher cultivation and faster speed to forcefully block Chu Mu's sword.
The clanging sounds were unceasing. Chu Mu's sword seemed to have come alive. It was full of spirituality. Sword after sword stabbed, slashed, cut, and slashed. Every strike was aimed at the grey clothed masked man's vital points, forcing him into a passive position to block Chu Mu's sword.
Behind him, Xiao Qianfeng's sword arrived in a timely manner, carrying an intense sharpness and killing intent. The grey clothed masked man only felt a chill on his back. He hurriedly blocked Chu Mu's sword with his sword and quickly retreated.
"I've long heard that Chu Mu's sword skills are extraordinary. Today, I've personally experienced it, and it's indeed true. His sword skills are actually above mine." The grey clothed masked man thought to himself as he retreated. The killing intent in his heart became even stronger. "This person must die. I definitely can't let him grow."
"Kill!" Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng glanced at each other. Their eyes flashed with killing intent. Like an arrow leaving the bowstring, they once again charged forward with endless sharpness and killing intent.
"Damned ants. So what if your sword skills are good? In front of an absolute difference in sword qi cultivation, you're nothing." When the grey clothed masked man saw that Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng didn't know what was good for them, he immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation. With a loud shout, sword qi surged from his entire body. His body seemed to have turned into a furnace, releasing a terrifying scorching aura that fluctuated in all directions. The surrounding air was stirred up, and the spiritual energy within a ten meter radius became incomparably hot. A fiery red color quickly spread.
The grey clothed masked man stood in the middle of the fiery red spiritual energy, as if he was burning. The sword in his hand also seemed to have turned into flowing flames. As he slowly waved his right hand, Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng felt as if their bodies were ignited. Their blood boiled, and their expressions changed greatly. An extremely strong sense of danger arose spontaneously.
The two of them hurriedly stopped their charging bodies. The surging sword qi fiercely struck the ground in front of them, and their bodies rapidly retreated.
"Die!" The grey clothed masked man let out an explosive roar full of killing intent. The sword in his hand fiercely slashed down through the air. In an instant, countless fiery red rays transformed into rays of sword aura that covered the sky and covered the earth as they slashed down. Like a flood of magma, they directly submerged Chu Mu and Xiao Qianfeng's bodies.
