Supreme Tamer

Chapter 585: Chapter 456: Dangerous Person, Chu Mu

“What, is the battle over?” Miss Shan said, somewhat taken aback. She instantly locked onto the figure far away with her soul sense, and her face gradually revealed a look of surprise!

Miss Shan had the strongest soul sense among those present, allowing her to see the farthest.

In the darkness-shrouded land, the moonlight stretched the man’s shadow, and some faintly discernible bloodstains could be seen on his body!

As the man approached, the powerful figures on the city walls couldn’t help but gaze at him in surprise, their eyes fixed on the slowly approaching figure.

Did Fang Ze succeed in his breakthrough, or was it…?” Ye Wansheng was also completely baffled by the situation, but he felt that the terrifying killing intent emanating from Chu Mu was palpable, even from this far away.

…

Chu Mu was unhurriedly making his way back from the battlefield, paying no heed to the fresh blood smeared all over him, as it was his own.

Chu Mu’s pace was slow, but his movement speed was incredibly fast.

Soon afterward, Chu Mu came into full view of everyone on the city walls. Through the lights on the walls, he could see tens of thousands of pairs of eyes staring at him. Their gazes all showed disbelief and shock!

“It’s … it’s Chu Chen returning!”

“Is the battle over? Why hasn’t Jiang Zhi appeared?”

“Did Jiang Zhi lose? Or did Chu Mu let him go and return to the battlefield early?”

A multitude of questions bubbled up among the crowd. Even though they couldn’t determine who won the battle in the moment, for some reason, people seemed to lean towards Chu Mu ending the battle.

That was because Chu Mu, who was currently walking towards them, possessed an aura which instilled fear in others. This didn’t look like the appearance of a defeated person at all.

“Where’s Jiang Zhi?” Miss Shan inquired when Chu Mu gradually approached the city walls.

“At the stalactites on Mirror Sword Mountain, you should send someone to carry him back,” Chu Mu looked up at this proud-faced woman and casually replied.

“You defeated Jiang Zhi?” Miss Shan waved her hand and ordered someone to go to Mirror Sword Mountain and bring back the injured Jiang Zhi.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded and said, “My guard duty is over.”

“For the entire day, you didn’t let a single person pass through. Your strength is indeed formidable. I hope you can make it to the last few realms.” Miss Shan commented.

At first, Miss Shan thought Chu Mu was an impatient youth from the third-tier, making a high-profile challenge across tiers during the initial realms of the competition, undoubtedly exposing his own strength to everyone. Moreover, his widely-discussed soul pets meant practically nothing to the real powerhouses of the second-tier.

However, after a full day of defending against attempts to break through, Miss Shan’s opinion of Chu Mu had evidently changed. After all, his display of dominance by not letting a single person through had reached the same level as her own from six years ago. A powerhouse like this could surely sweep the first tier if they still had the chance to participate in the World Decree for the second time.

Chu Mu jumped onto the city walls without saying much, simply standing there, waiting for Miss Shan to announce the result.

Soon, the competition guards hurried back, riding their winged soul pets.

“Is Jiang Zhi brought back? Huh? He’s unconscious?”

Several guards’ expressions appeared rather strange.

Indeed, the guards had brought back Jiang Zhi, but what they brought back was his corpse!!

Miss Shan quickly sensed something was wrong, and it was only after one of the guards whispered something that she realized in horror, exclaiming, “Dead? Jiang Zhi is dead?”

“Yes … Miss Shan, Jiang Zhi is dead …” the guards said softly, and when they finished speaking, they all deliberately glanced at Chu Mu, a chilling feeling rising within!

Miss Shan’s face was filled with shock, her eyes tightly fixed on Chu Mu as she asked in an incredulous and questioning tone, “You … you killed Jiang Zhi?”

“Yeah, it was an accident,” Chu Mu replied calmly.

Chu Mu and Miss Shan didn’t communicate via soul sense, so everyone present could hear their conversation.

With Chu Mu’s single remark of it being an “accident”, he seemed dismissive, yet his words set off a storm of terror that swept across South City, leaving tens of thousands of people in stunned silence!

…

On the other side of the city walls, Shen Yicheng’s entire face was rigid. He had seen Jiang Zhi’s death with his own eyes just moments before, but he never imagined the outcome would be like this!

Jiang Zhi had concealed his strength very well, never revealing the two Ninth Rank intermediate monarchs he possessed before.

Since he was such a scheming person, he must have been extra cautious in battle and knew how to protect himself. Normally, even people with significantly stronger strength than him might not be able to kill him.

But after a battle in which the situation was completely unseen, this chief member of the Luo region Gate turned into a cold corpse that was carried back. It was unbelievable for tens of thousands of people, and even Shen Yicheng himself felt unable to accept it!

“Another person hiding his strength… Jiang Zhi, who arrogantly thinks that he has hidden his strength well, never thought that this Soul Hall guy is also such a dangerous character.” Zuo Xiao rubbed his temple, his appearance showing the headache of dealing with yet another formidable opponent.

…

Upon discovering Jiang Zhi’s corpse being carried back, Soul Hall’s Zhan Hong had been standing there dumbfounded.

When Jiang Zhi summoned his two Ninth Rank intermediate monarchs, Zhan Hong had admitted to himself that he was not his opponent. However, such a hidden powerhouse from the second-tier was killed in such a bizarre manner, what had happened behind the Netherworld Gate?!

“Did he really make a mistake, or did he kill him to silence him?” Eighth Young Master Fang Ze seemed to have never stopped speculating about Chu Mu’s every move. However, no matter how Fang Ze guessed at Chu Mu, Chu Mu’s powerful strength displayed had already greatly exceeded the eighth young master’s previous estimate of him.

…

Death was a common occurrence in The World Decree, and the organizer did not strictly prohibit killing opponents.

If it was an accident and a few ordinary contestants were killed, it wouldn’t draw any attention in the World Decree with tens of thousands of participants.

But this time, the person who died was the chief disciple of the second tier in Luo region Gate!

Even without deliberate promotion, this piece of news would undoubtedly cause a sensation throughout World City on the next day!

As a matter of fact, after Chu Mu’s guarding realm segment ended that day, Jiang Zhi’s death became a big news in The World Decree, spreading repeatedly into the ears of every youth in World City.

Jiang Zhi’s hidden strength, Chu Chen’s devilish guarding of the realm, and finally Jiang Zhi’s confrontation with Chu Chen where only one returned. The sensation caused by this incident was not only due to the fact that a strong man like Jiang Zhi had been killed but also because of the frightening strength of Soul Hall!

Since the first realm, Chu Mu’s status had been continuously rising, becoming a popular figure.

In the eyes of the public, his strength had already reached the peak level of a youth. On the other hand, those hidden powerhouses who kept their strength in reserve saw him only as a clown and nothing to be afraid of.

However, after the fourth realm, not only were the masses shocked by Chu Chen’s continuous powerful performance for Soul Hall, even the truly strongest from the second-tier of major powers had to re-examine this youth!

In the upcoming trials, the experts from the major powers may collide with each other.

Moreover, in many cases, only very few people will succeed in the trials. Unlucky seeded contestants that were eliminated during the fifth, sixth, and seventh realms abound. In this situation, the strong must pay attention to anyone who poses a threat to them.

And Soul Hall Chu Chen, who killed Jiang Zhi, a man with two Ninth Rank intermediate monarchs, is a mysterious second-tier hidden powerhouse and a freakish youth who challenges across tiers. He now poses a real threat to those powerful second-tier hidden ones!!

…

…

The World Decree continued to be in full swing.

In the fifth realm, Chu Chen from Soul Hall, who was constantly being watched by people, made yet another shocking move. His name still appeared on the list of the greatest honors in the World Rankings.

In the fifth realm, one of the strongest members of Elemental Gate was defeated by Chu Mu. It was said that at that time, Chu Mu was only using Triple Control, taking advantage of the terrain and deploying ingenious combat methods, which frustrated the strongest member of Elemental Gate and got him eliminated early in the fifth realm!

Chu Mu’s fame rose another level due to the fifth realm, becoming a truly dangerous character among the hidden powerhouses!

In the sixth realm, Chu Mu encountered Ye Wansheng and Shang Heng, forming a team and running into the powerful Lu Donghe from Nightmare Demon Palace and the strong Huang Ji from Soul Covenant. They also had their own teams, but in the end, they were defeated and eliminated early by the trio.

By the time they reached the sixth realm, the powerhouses of the major powers gradually surfaced. In that realm, although Chu Mu, Ye Wansheng, and Shang Heng formed a team, the process of their trials was not easy, facing one strong opponent after another. The three were exhausted and barely received the highest honor reward.

…

“The sixth realm is over. The probability of encountering a strong opponent in the seventh realm is even higher. A large number of people will be strangled. Chu Chen, don’t hesitate to keep a low profile and not expose too much of your strength, or there will be big trouble,” Shang Heng reminded Chu Mu very straightforwardly after the end of the sixth realm.

Chu Mu himself had already experienced just how deep the waters of the major powers were in the sixth realm. One had to know that those figures who were blocking their paths were merely supporting characters for the hidden powerhouses like Lu Donghe from major powers. Once those truly powerful ones appeared in the seventh realm, what a ruthless struggle it would be!

(The pace will speed up a bit~~~ I won’t fill up the water with some low-profile characters anymore. It’s said that there are still 300 recommendation votes left to reach 100,000. Please, some friends who are waiting for their accounts, give Little Fish a few more recommendation votes, and try to make up 100,000 votes within today. It’s very easy~~~~~) (.)
