Da Xuan Martial Saint

Chapter 134: Chapter 124 Stabilization

Ding He was stunned as he looked towards the nearby battlefront.

He saw.

Chen Mu standing on the wasteland, walking alone at the very front of the battle line, casually swung his fine iron knife and decapitated the head of a fierce beast that lunged at him. And the beast that attacked Chen Mu had black patterns all over it, a third-rank monster, the black-patterned leopard!

A third-rank monster,

Killed in one strike!

Ding He even couldn't help but want to rub his eyes, doubting whether he had seen something wrong.

Wasn't Chen Mu new to the Tendon Changing Realm? Even though he had a horizontally trained body and his strength was much stronger than others of the same rank, killing a third-rank monster with one strike was somewhat too exaggerated. After all, even someone at Tendon Changing Perfection like Xu Hongyu couldn't possibly kill a third-rank monster with one move—it was almost a crushing of strength!

Triple Blade Momentum?

Quadruple Blade Momentum?

No.

Although he was too far away to see the previous strike clearly, he didn't feel the distinct Blade Momentum. It seemed more like a natural whole, as if heaven-sent. Could it be... Artistic Conception?!

Impossible!

Ding He found it hard to believe in his heart.

Artistic Conception was such an advanced level, even in the entire Yu Family, from the first generation to the fourth generation, there were only about a dozen people who mastered it, only three or four per generation, and many only achieved understanding after years, not until their forties or fifties.

Chen Mu was about his age, it was well enough that he had a talent for developing a Horizontally Trained Body, but how could it be possible for him to have such high comprehension and master Artistic Conception at this age? He must know that he, with Tendon Changing Major Achievement, had only mastered one Momentum so far!

At the battle line.

Chen Mu was seen with a calm expression, holding a fine iron knife in his hand, wherever he went, there was bloodshed. Whether second or third rank monsters, none lasted more than one round under his hand and were buried under his knife.

In an extremely short period of time, the pressure from all directions had almost plummeted.

Black-clothed Guards like Wu Pu were looking at the figure shuttling above the battle line as if they had seen a ghost, with shock and disbelief in their eyes.

Swish!

Chen Mu sliced again, killing another third-rank monster, and he shook his head as he felt the contact beneath the knife.

"Third-rank monsters, after all, do have some strength."

On his way here, he had already learned of the general situation on this battlefield through successive transmissions relayed by personnel. Judging by the timing, they would probably be able to fight or even gain the upper hand for a while, but after a long time, the manpower here would definitely be insufficient.

Therefore, he had been in a rush to get here, mainly because dealing with the huge piece of Flame Jade had taken too much time.

Upon arriving at the battlefield, he indeed saw Xu Hongyu and several warriors in a tough fight. Naturally, he needed to cut through the confusion and quickly resolve the pressure on the whole battle line, and the greatest pressure came from the third-rank monsters.

Against third-rank monsters, someone with Tendon Changing Perfection could win, but not easily.

Only by stepping into the Bone Tempering Realm could one quickly kill a third-rank monster within a move or two.

However, this time Chen Mu wasn't overcoming the beasts with raw power. Rather than showing off a Body Refining Realm beyond Tendon Changing Perfection or revealing pure strength comparable to the Bone Tempering Realm, it was better to use the Xun Wind Artistic Conception.

After all, considering the current situation with countless beasts everywhere, relying solely on force would consume more energy.

After this monster upheaval, he would be able to obtain a Bone Tempering Pill no matter what, and improve his strength in a short period of time. Showing the Xun Wind Artistic Conception wasn't an issue, as it wasn't a method he needed to conceal for now.

Of course.

The Thunderclap Artistic Conception was not suitable for public display, at least not for now.

With Chen Mu's thunderous moves, slaying third-rank monsters as if slaughtering chickens, the casualties on the entire battle line were quickly controlled. Those who had too much Qi-Blood depletion and were nearly exhausted also finally got the opportunity to catch their breath and rest.

But at this moment, whoever looked at the figure speeding among the monsters, a figure so formidable that no beast could withstand a single blow, felt nothing but shock.

No wonder Xu Hongyu's attitude towards Chen Mu had not been that of a superior from the start, no wonder Chen Mu was able to confidently enter the Council Hall and partake in all kinds of decisions regarding this monster chaos and hunt.

In this chaotic world, strength is paramount!

Having such strength left no room for doubt!

Wu Pu, in the crowd, looked at the scene before him and felt stiff all over. He had previously thought that Ding He wasn't much different from Chen Mu, but now it seemed like a joke, and what made him most uneasy was... when he saw Xu Hongyu and Chen Mu getting too close, he had secretly sent someone back to the County Government to report to Deputy Governor Yu Jun.

Now, all he wanted to do was to smack himself in the face. Why did he speak out of turn? Someone who could comprehend Artistic Conception naturally had the status and qualifications to match Xu Hongyu. Although he was a spy for Yu Jun, rashly reporting when he had only seen half the story would likely lead to criticism from Yu Jun afterwards.

Swish! Swish! Swish!!

Chen Mu wielded his knife, continuing to fight along the battle line.

He also didn't push forward, as that would be meaningless; after all, the monsters were scattered all over the mountains, and they continually emerged and actively converged on Xu Hongyu and the others.

In this situation, one only needed to stay put and wait for the monsters to come to them, reaping them one by one, without expending too much effort.
