Zhuge Ming

The man in black's neck did not roll after being severed by Chu Mu's Void Ripping Metal Edge. It remained in its original state. Only a smear of scarlet appeared at the neck. Blood slowly seeped out. Strangely, the blood was black in color, different from that of a normal person.

"Thank you for your help, little brother." The man in silver smiled faintly. He looked a little weak. "Please protect me for a moment, little brother."

As he spoke, the silver clothed person unexpectedly closed his eyes at ease. He wasn't the slightest bit worried that Chu Mu would attack him. One had to know that this was a Qi Transformation Realm swordsman. No matter what, he would have some good things on him. At the very least, his sword was a rare treasure.

Chu Mu only glanced at the man in silver and nodded slightly. He looked at the corpse of the man in black. With a step, he appeared beside the corpse like a gust of wind. His gaze fell on the narrow, pitch-black longsword in the man's hand.

This narrow, pitch-black longsword released a frightening wave of evil and bloody darkness. It was as if it had invaded Chu Mu's mind. He hurriedly shifted his gaze, and it happened to fall on the wrist of the man in black's left hand.

This wrist was about the width of a pinky finger. It was the color of black metal, and there were many fine carvings on it. It looked thirty percent gorgeous and seventy percent simple. Chu Mu's gaze fell on the wrist for a while, but he could not tell what it was. It looked like a very ordinary accessory, but Chu Mu had a strange feeling in his heart. He subconsciously turned to look at the man in silver, and his gaze fell on the man in silver's left wrist.

There was a similar wrist, and it was also the color of black metal. Upon closer inspection, regardless of size, shape, or the carvings on it, they were almost exactly the same. It was as if they had been made from the same mold in the same workshop.

These two Qi Transformation swordsmen were obviously from opposing factions. Could it be that they had the same hobby and wore almost identical accessories? Chu Mu couldn't help but feel suspicious. He retracted his gaze and began to ponder.

At this moment, the man in silver opened his eyes and glanced at Chu Mu. He didn't say anything and instead put down his sword. His right hand swiped across his left wrist and a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. He quickly opened the porcelain bottle and a rich medicinal fragrance quickly spread out. A milky-white pill the size of a longan appeared in the silver-clothed man's hand. He opened his mouth and inhaled. The pill seemed to automatically enter his mouth.

After stuffing the cork, his right hand swiped the wrist of his left hand and the porcelain bottle disappeared. The man in silver closed his eyes and shifted his body to sit cross-legged. He circulated the Sword Qi Art to refine the medicinal power of the pill.

The entire process wasn't fast, and Chu Mu saw it clearly. His eyes were wide open, and his mouth was slightly agape. His face was full of shock, and his heart was in turmoil. It was as if a storm was raging in his brain.

"Space … wrist …" Chu Mu's throat was a little dry as he spat out the words with difficulty. At the same time, a surge of joy surged through him. Even his resolute mind was momentarily lost.

In the few months he had spent in the Azure Edge Sword Sect, he had gone through most of the records in the library. He remembered that one of the records had described a mysterious treasure. This kind of protection was not large and could not increase one's attack or defense. However, it had a function that everyone coveted: it had a small space inside that could store all kinds of items.

However, the records had only mentioned a little about a treasure like the space wrist. Chu Mu had never seen a space wrist on the elders of the Azure Edge Sword Sect, the monastery master, or Luo Tianxiong. This was enough to show how precious the space wrist was.

However, he had seen two of such precious treasures right in front of him. For a moment, Chu Mu's breathing became a little ragged.

A look of struggle flashed across Chu Mu's eyes. Immediately, a sharp Sword Light shot out, shattering the struggle and hesitation. His gaze became even purer and more resolute. Turning around, he bent down and took the space wrist from the black-clothed man's left hand, studying it carefully.

Although he already knew what kind of treasure it was, there were too few records in the records, and Chu Mu did not know how to use it. After studying it carefully for a while, he only discovered that there seemed to be a silver-gray crystal the size of a soybean embedded in it. However, he did not know how to use it. He could only turn around and look at the silver-clothed man, waiting for him to finish cultivating before asking for guidance.

The silver-clothed man knew all of his actions and struggles. Only after Chu Mu had eliminated the struggle and hesitation in his heart did the silver-clothed man truly relax and focus on refining the pill. Otherwise, even with the special nature of what he had learned, which allowed him to calculate things that ordinary people would not know, he would not dare to let his guard down completely when he was heavily injured.

The facts proved that all of his calculations were correct.

After a while, the silver-clothed man opened his eyes. He had finished regulating his breathing, and his face was much rosier. He quickly stood up and sheathed his sword. Looking at Chu Mu, he smiled faintly, "Thank you, little brother. Otherwise, I don't know when I would have been able to kill this bastard."

"How do I use this space wrist?" Chu Mu nodded. He did not show any fear or restraint because of the difference in cultivation. Instead, he asked very calmly.

He was very confident in his Sword Observation Technique. He had never missed anything, and the silver-clothed man was clearly confident in what he had learned as well. Both of them behaved very calmly.

"You only need to drip your blood into the space wrist. After absorbing it, you'll be able to establish a connection with it. Then, you can use it after you imprint your soul into it," explained the silver-clothed man. Chu Mu immediately cut his finger and squeezed out a drop of blood, dripping it onto the wrist. The blood was immediately absorbed by the patterns on the wrist and vanished. Subsequently, Chu Mu concentrated his mental intent, and it pierced through the void and landed on the wristband in his hand. In an instant, he entered it and felt as if his mind had entered another void. It was extremely strange. A sliver of a close connection appeared between the wristband in his hand and himself, as if it was an extension.

The silver clothed man was somewhat dumbstruck. Evidently, he didn't expect Chu Mu to recognize the Spatial Wristband as its master so quickly. He let out a slightly bitter laugh and said: "Under normal circumstances, only those whose cultivation reaches the Qi Transformation Realm can make the Spatial Wristband recognize them as its master. I didn't expect that little brother, you, who is only at the tenth phase of the Sword Aura Realm, could do it."

Chu Mu was slightly surprised when he heard that. Then, he looked at the silver-clothed man calmly, which made the silver-clothed man admire him. Normal swordsmen in the Sword Qi Realm would not be able to do that. He had such a mentality.

The silver-clothed man paused and smiled. His tone seemed to be even gentler as he asked, "You really are extraordinary. What's your name, little brother?"

"Chu Mu."

"My name is Zhuge Ming. Brother Chu deserves a lot of credit for killing the people from the Blood Sword Tower today." Zhuge Ming smiled and said, "However, Senior Brother Chu is not a disciple of the Sword Mansion, so he will not be rewarded. But I will not let Brother Chu Mu suffer."

"Sword Mansion?" Chu Mu did not understand. He had only heard of the Sword Faction and the Li Province Sword Academy, but he had never heard of the Sword Mansion.

"The Sword Mansion is the Great Kun Sword Mansion. It is the place where all the genius swordsmen of the Great Kun Dynasty gather. It is of an even higher level than the Sword Academy. I see that Brother Chu Mu is still young, but you have such a cultivation. When you have the chance to enter the Sword Mansion, you will be able to truly understand it. " Zhuge Ming did not explain too much about the Sword Mansion. He changed the topic, "I need to bring this Blood Sword Tower member's sword and identity medallion back to the Sword Mansion as proof of completing the mission. Furthermore, this sword is not suitable for you, Brother Chu Mu. If you bring it with you, if you encounter a fish from the Blood Sword Tower that escapes the net, it will bring disaster to you. Brother Chu Mu, please check your spatial bracelet and see if there is any identity medallion for this person. "

Chu Mu nodded. His mind synchronized with the spatial bracelet in his hand, forming a close connection. In an instant, his mind poured into the silver-gray crystal. Everything within the spatial bracelet appeared in his mind.

It was a static space about one cubic meter in size. There were some things placed in an orderly manner inside. Chu Mu carefully scanned through them. There were spiritual stones, porcelain bottles, books, a palm-sized black medallion, and some black clothes.

With a thought, the black medallion appeared in his hand, releasing a weak evil fluctuation.

"Yes, this is the person's identity medallion." The silver-clothed man was delighted, but he did not try to snatch it. Chu Mu's hand shook slightly, and he threw the medallion to the silver-clothed man. The silver-clothed man caught it, looked at it, and hurriedly put it into his spatial bracelet. Then, he grabbed at the air, and the narrow black sword on the ground fell into his hand. He put it into his spatial bracelet, "This sword is a medium grade sword. It is quite valuable. However, I do not have many spiritual stones, so I will give them all to Brother Chu. I hope that they will be of help to you after you reach the Qi Transformation Realm."

As he spoke, Zhuge Ming took out dozens of spiritual stones and flew them to Chu Mu one by one. Chu Mu's eyes flashed with joy. He did not refuse and put the dozens of spiritual stones into his spatial bracelet.

"Dozens of low-grade spiritual stones naturally cannot compare to a medium grade sword. However, I do not have anything else that I can take out." Zhuge Ming seemed embarrassed as he said, "In that case, I, Zhuge Ming, owe Brother Chu a favor. In the future, you can come to the Great Kun Sword Mansion to find me. As long as it is something that I can do, I will not refuse."

Chu Mu nodded. In fact, he was already very satisfied with obtaining the spatial bracelet, everything inside it, and dozens of low-grade spiritual stones. No matter how good the sword was, he couldn't use it now. Even in the future, it might not be suitable for him. Moreover, as Zhuge Ming had said, if he brought it with him, even if it was in the space bracelet, it might bring him unnecessary trouble at any time.

It was better to not have such a hot potato if he could. As for the favor that Zhuge Ming mentioned, Chu Mu did not take it to heart. That was a distant matter.

"That's right. Brother Brother Chu, the spatial bracelet is very precious. Even the leader of a low-grade sword sect may not have it. You have to be careful." Zhuge Ming added, "If there is nothing else, Brother Brother Chu can leave first. I still have to deal with this guy's corpse."

"Goodbye." Chu Mu saluted with his sword, kept the spatial bracelet, and turned to leave.

"This person is indeed extraordinary. He looks to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, but his cultivation is close to the middle stage of Stage Ten. Most importantly, the purity of his sword Qi surpasses that of many other Sword Qi realm swordsmen. He also grasps a high-level killing move. Although he only used one move, I can feel that his true strength is close to that of half-step Qi Transformation. " The silver-clothed man looked at Chu Mu's departing figure and thought to himself. There was a strange light in his eyes. "If he has any ill intentions towards me, although I can kill him, I'm afraid that my injuries will worsen. Fortunately, my feeling is not wrong. Perhaps when we meet again in the future, it will be in the Great Kun Sword Mansion."
