Chapter 831: I Am Nangong Mu

However, Nangong Mu didn’t respond to any of that. In fact, he didn’t even utter a single word. He simply stood there silently.

“Erm… Nangong Mu, aren’t you going to introduce yourself?” The disciple hosting the event couldn’t help but remind him.

After all, an eye-catching self-introduction could make him famous during such an occasion.

“Nangong Mu.” Nangong Mu nodded gently and cupped his hands towards Qiu Jingfeng.

“…”

“…”

Nangong Mu was definitely polite. However, the disciples around them, including Qiu Jingfeng himself, were all rendered speechless by his action.

In fact, the disciple from Heaven Dao Pavilion who was hosting the event also didn’t expect Nangong Mu to simply state his name.

Was that it?

The disciple wanted to remind Nangong Mu to keep speaking, but he ultimately decided to keep quiet because Nangong Mu didn’t seem like he wanted to say another word.

“Heaven Dao Pavilion against Nangong Nobles. Round One, Nangong Mu versus Qiu Jingfeng, fight!” The disciple finally declared the commencement of the fight.

Qiu Jingfeng drew the long sword and the short sword on his back as soon as he heard that disciple’s voice. One of them was red and the other was white.

However, a figure appeared in front of him as soon as he drew his sword. That person was less than a step away and he was incredibly calm.

“He’s so fast!”

“He’s actually faster!?”

The disciples around them were stunned when Nangong Mu initiated the fight at such an unbelievable speed.

Qiu Jingfeng was equally caught off guard and even his expression changed a little. After all, he believed that he should have had the upper hand due to his superior cultivation.

Nevertheless, he reacted quickly. Instead of suppressing Nangong Mu forcefully with his cultivation, he took a step back cautiously and attacked with the long, red sword. It created a stream of crimson flame in the air.

The crimson light seemed to have ignited the surrounding air.

There was a fundamental difference between the power of Sage State and Rebirth State. Sages had complete control over Dao and could deliver all of Dao’s power easily.

However, this powerful stream of crimson light failed to stop Nangong Mu’s advancement. In fact, he wasn’t even avoiding it.

Nangong Mu charged straight at the light.

Boom! His body tore through the flame in his way and closed in on Qiu Jingfeng like a demon god.

“How is he so powerful?!” Even though Qiu Jingfeng was mentally prepared, he was still dazed by Nangong Mu’s ferocity.

After all, he was a Sage!

How could a Sage be suppressed by someone in Rebirth State? Furthermore, his opponent didn’t even avoid his attack. That was pushing it too far.

Qiu Jingfeng was angry.

However, he quickly regained his composure because he knew the importance of this battle and his duty.

He couldn’t lose!

At the very least, he couldn’t lose to Nangong Mu!

“Open!” Qiu Jingfeng exclaimed softly and stopped moving. A complicated, silvery symbol started glowing on his forehead, following which, rings of violent silver aura started rising from his feet and wrapped around his body like a chain.

Crack! Crack! Even the air started bellowing as if it was shredded by the chilly wind.

Despite that…

Nangong Mu wasn’t stopping.

He rushed towards Qiu Jingfeng directly without even drawing his sword. It was a simple punch.

Boom!

Qiu Jingfeng was sent flying as if he was defenseless against the punch. It took him 10 entire steps before he barely managed to stand his ground.

“What… What’s going on?!”

“That punch!”

“Am I seeing things? Did his punch breakthrough Qiu Jingfeng’s ‘Frozen Wind Chain’?!”

All the disciples watching the fight opened their eyes wide with disbelief because they saw clearly that Nangong Mu’s punch was unopposed.

To put it bluntly, the Frozen Wind Chain around Qiu Jingfeng’s appeared to be completely useless against Nangong Mu’s fist.

“Keke.What’s going on?” Qiu Jingfeng was equally filled with disbelief because there wasn’t any radiance on Nangong Mu’s fist.

It was a simple punch.

However, such a simple punch had broken through his Dao. If he hadn’t reacted in time and shielded himself with the short silvery sword, he would definitely be injured.

However, Qiu Jingfeng’s question would never be answered, because Nangong Mu was already charging towards him at an even faster speed than before.

“You’re pushing it too far!” Qiu Jingfeng was a Sage after all, and he had his pride and dignity. He couldn’t stay calm after failing to stop his opponent repeatedly.

As the two long and short swords danced around him, coils of silvery chains and crimson flames appeared simultaneously.

Wind could make fire stronger, but it could freeze water too!

These were two completely different auras. However, with the wind as a middle-man, they could co-exist for a short period of time and produce an enormous power.

However, Nangong Mu still wasn’t avoiding it.

Swoosh! When Nangong Mu was two steps away from Qiu Jingfeng, he was finally engulfed by the silvery chain and crimson flame.

“Die!” Qiu Jingfeng wasn’t going to miss out on such an opportunity. He leaped forward and struck downwards with the red long sword.

However, just as his sword was about to strike Nangong Mu’s head, a hand came out of the silvery chain and crimson flames and grabbed his wrist.

Then, Qiu Jingfeng felt a tremendous force coming from the hand, followed by acute pain.

That wasn’t the end.

Another fist came out and struck towards his chest.

“This is impossible!” Qiu Jingfeng was sweating nervously, but he managed to react calmly and shielded his chest with the silvery short sword.

The terrifying force was like an unstoppable river. Although Qiu Jingfeng managed to stop the first at the last moment, he was still sent flying.

“Pfttt…” He spurted blood and crashed onto the ground. His right write was already twisted, so the red long sword dropped onto the ground.

“Senior brother Jingfeng is actually losing?!”

“What’s going on? When did Nangong Mu become so powerful?”

“It feels like Yan Qing’s fighting style, but Nangong Mu doesn’t have an Indestructible Body. Why is this happening?!”

The disciples of Heaven Dao Pavilion couldn’t help but be surprised when they saw Qiu Jingfeng spurting blood and turning pale.

After all, they still remembered Nangong Mu’s battle in Heaven Dao Pavilion several months ago. He was definitely not so powerful back then.

It wouldn’t be exaggerating to say that he was completely different than before.

“This Nangong Mu is abnormal!” Mu Qingfeng frowned as he stared at Nangong Mu intently. He was clearly taken aback too.

“It feels like Jingfeng is repressed by Nangong Mu!” An elder standing behind Mu Qingfeng nodded.

“It’s more than that. Jingfeng’s ‘Frozen Wind Chain’ seems to be avoiding Nangong Mu on purpose. This is strange!” Another elder also shared his opinion.

“It’s just been a few months… What exactly happened to Nangong Mu?” Mu Qingfeng didn’t join the discussion, but he furrowed his brows.

Meanwhile, at Shadow Sect…

Yan Qing’s eyes lit up at this moment.

“Nangong Mu became so powerful after just a few months!” He seldom initiated a conversation, but there was an unconcealable excitement on his face currently.

“Can you beat him?” Wu Yuer also creased her brows before she turned towards Yan Qing and asked.

“Nope.” He shook his head.

“Eh? I thought you’d say you don’t know the answer instead of admitting defeat. I remember that you’ve never conceded defeat before.” Wu Yuer was clearly surprised to hear Yan Qing’s confession.

“No, I’ve already lost once to Fang Zhengzhi. Nangong Mu, at his current state… Should be stronger than the Fang Zhengzhi back then!”

“Stronger than Fang Zhengzhi?” Wu Yuer trembled a little and she seemed perplexed for a split second. However, she soon regained her composure.

However, she turned grim when she looked at Nangong Mu again, because she knew that if Heaven Dao Pavilion lost, there was over 50% chance that Shadow Sect would be up against Nangong Nobles in the second round.

“Nangong Mu?” Dao Hun also murmured and glanced at Yan Xiu who was standing behind Dao Xin.

Dao Xin fiddled her hair at this moment and she seemed equally surprised by Nangong Mu’s performance. However, she didn’t say anything.

On the other hand, Ling Yun Tower… Was relatively calm.

At the very least, Qian Yu didn’t seem too worried. On the contrary, she looked pleased as if there wasn’t much on her mind.

However, the surrounding disciples all opened their eyes wide, glancing back and forth between Nangong Mu and Qiu Jingfeng. They couldn’t believe what they saw.

“Qiu Jingfeng is actually injured?!”

“This Nangong Mu is actually so powerful!”

“This is incredible. Qiu Jingfeng is a Sage! Isn’t it too ridiculous that Nangong Mu could repress him so easily?”

“That’s right. Yan Xiu’s and Ping Yang’s opponents are in Rebirth State so they were overpowered, but Nangong Mu is facing Qiu Jingfeng. This is unbelievable!”

The surrounding disciples couldn’t understand how that happened, but they all subconsciously remembered the name ‘Nangong Mu’.

“Are you in Sage State?” Qiu Jingfeng clearly heard the discussions around him. His pale face turned purple and he started running out of breath.

Nangong Mu stood there silently as if he didn’t hear Qiu Jingfeng’s question. He simply took out his Green and Blue Dual Blade.

“Alright… It seems like I was too naive!” Qiu Jingfeng didn’t repeat his question, because Nangong Mu’s attitude had already given him a clear answer.

Without waiting any further, he lowered his stance and pressed his right wrist against the ground and twisted it forcefully.

Crack!

Qiu Jingfeng frowned. It was the pain of realigning his bones, but he didn’t make a sound.

As soon as he fixed his wrist, his right hand moved. With that, the red sword on the ground was pulled into his hand by a strong force of attraction.

“Ok, let’s do it!” Qiu Jingfeng held the sword and stood out slowly. He looked determined once again.

Nangong Mu nodded softly and raised his swords. A green and a blue radiance appeared on the tips of his Green and Blue Dual Blade accordingly.

However, they disappeared shortly.

As soon as the green and blue radiances disappeared, a ray of white light as pure as snow appeared. It was pure like a piece of jade yet it exuded a fearsome chill.

For some reason, the chilliness didn’t seem to contain a killing desire. It was so natural as if this place was covered in ice and snow to being with.

Snowflakes started falling from the air like flower petals and covered the entire sky.

“This Nangong Mu… Oh no, Jingfeng, move! Mu Qingfeng glanced towards the sky before his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly yelled at Qiu Jingfeng.

However, it seemed like he was too late, because Nangong Mu had already moved. He disappeared as soon as he took a step and appeared right in front of Qiu Jingfeng the next moment. At the meantime, his sword was also less than an inch away from Qiu Jingfeng’s chest.

His speed was ridiculous, so ridiculous that it was indescribable.

That was because it was teleportation!
