Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 116 – 112: Are You Really Chen Mu?

Seven Silver Corpses, all annihilated with a single slash!

Even though there were still as many as thirteen Silver Corpses left, this was no longer a matter of quantity. The momentum of that slash had already revealed itself; mere Silver Corpses posed no threat whatsoever in front of Chen Mu!

Xu Hongyu was stunned.

Minor Achievement was also slightly taken aback.

Then, looking at Chen Mu’s back, a bright light flickered in her eyes… That just now was the Xun Wind Artistic Conception, no doubt about it, absolutely! That meant the person by the side of the bridge that day really was Chen Mu!

Having finally confirmed this, Minor Achievement had no time to ponder how Chen Mu had comprehended the Xun Wind Artistic Conception.

What shocked her more was the momentum of Chen Mu’s slash, which was not only about the power of the Artistic Conception; the terrifying strength of the blow, and the exquisite control, had reached an indescribable level, even Xu Hongyu, who had achieved Tendon Changing Perfection, was inferior!

Such a slash.

It couldn’t be executed by someone who had only reached Tendon Changing Minor Achievement, even with mastery over Artistic Conception!

Chen Mu… His Body Tempering Realm had surpassed Tendon Changing Minor Achievement, it must have at least reached Major Achievement, and it could even be possible that, like Xu Hongyu, he had reached the height of Tendon Changing Perfection!

How did he do it?

Minor Achievement was filled with shock. Continue your journey on Novgo

In contrast, Xu Hongyu was completely frozen in place. The slash that had suddenly appeared was so different from her long-standing impression of Chen Mu that for a moment, she almost felt as if she was experiencing an illusion.

Was that truly Chen Mu?

From the first time she met Chen Mu, when he had not yet started practicing the Body Tempering Method, and although her method of measuring one’s constitution and talent wasn’t completely accurate, it couldn’t have been too far off. Chen Mu’s physique should not have been of a special type. Later, when Chen Mu pushed Skin Toughening to its limit, she was somewhat surprised by her initial judgment.

After that, Chen Mu reached the limit in Body Refinement, forging a Horizontally Trained Body, which made her even more doubtful, but she kept these thoughts to herself. After all, every person in this world is different, and perhaps Chen Mu indeed had a special physique she hadn’t noticed.

But now.

The force of that slash was so solidifying, so terrifying, so exaggerated… In her impression, even someone who had achieved Tendon Changing Perfection would struggle to execute such a slash, it was comparable to one at the Bone Tempering Realm.

Not to mention the profound subtlety of that slash, which was undoubtedly the power of Artistic Conception!

Only such a terrifying slash could so easily annihilate seven Silver Corpses, almost as if in a flip of the hand.

In a daze.

Xu Hongyu felt Chen Mu’s figure seemed a bit blurry, as if overlapping with another silhouette — that of her father, Xu Yichuan, who once single-handedly eclipsed the third-generation descendants of all families in the Inner City within Yu City.

“Escape?”

In a rustling wind, Chen Mu finally spoke. His tone was very calm as he looked at the withered silhouette under the ancient tree and said, “Since when did you get the wrong impression that I needed to flee?”

The withered silhouette’s face stiffened.

His shriveled eyes were now fixedly staring at Chen Mu, as if hooks, attempting to pierce into Chen Mu’s body and clearly see everything inside and out.

“You’re not from the Demon-Slaying Office’s Green-Clothed Guard… Who are you?!”

His voice hoarse, his tone now revealed an unprecedented solemnity.

A Horizontally Trained Body?

No! Not at all!

The person before him was someone of the Bone Tempering Realm, who also possessed the Xun Wind Artistic Conception from the Qiankun Eight Phases!

A member of the Demon-Slaying Office’s Green-Clothed Guard?

Simply ludicrous!

With such a level and strength, in the Demon-Slaying Office he would at least be a Deputy Governor, and very likely he was a Metropolitan Commander!

In the whole of Yu County, there were not many who could cause him apprehension, and Chen Mu before him was definitely one of them.

“I?”

Chen Mu, holding his sword, slowly walked forward, “I’m just a swordsman, a Green-Clothed swordsman of the Demon-Slaying Office.”

Hiss!

Another slash was swung.

The closest Silver Corpse, before it could even make any move, was instantly frozen in place, a black line spreading from its forehead down its body, which then split into two halves right down the middle!

“Stop!”

The withered silhouette spoke in a deep voice, raising the infant’s skull in his hand, as the nearby Silver Corpses quickly retreated in a circle.

He stared intently at Chen Mu and said, “Since you have such strength, it was my oversight. You three may leave now and stop killing my Silver Corpses, or else you might escape, but those two women won’t survive.”

As his words fell.

From behind the ancient woods he emerged from, another heavy silhouette stepped out slowly, standing guard beside him, his skin faintly golden. Although not tall, it was undoubtedly another Golden Corpse!

The withered silhouette that had summoned two Golden Corpses did not command the corpses to attack but only watched Chen Mu with a sullen face.

He couldn’t keep such a person as Chen Mu.

Even with two Golden Corpses given to him by his master, which he could control, he could at most protect himself; they posed no threat to the opponent. The Silver Corpses he had painstakingly refined were invaluable; each one lost was one fewer in his arsenal.

If it weren’t for the presence of Xu Hongyu and Minor Achievement, he would have had no leverage over Chen Mu. But now, using the lives of the two women as a threat, he still had some confidence to face Chen Mu directly, since Chen Mu, despite his strength, was not more powerful than his two Golden Corpses.

However.

Hearing the withered silhouette’s threat, Chen Mu sighed.

“You still don’t understand.”

As his words finished, he began to walk step by step towards the withered silhouette.

The withered silhouette’s eyes flashed with coldness, and the infant’s skull in his hand was slightly raised. The Golden Corpse, over two meters tall, with a sturdy body like a small hill, suddenly blocked Chen Mu’s path.
