What a lucky world!

Chapter 201 The wind is blowing hard
Zhang Mu's sudden display of the sword really scared Yan Ming, but Cui Yong's expression remained unchanged. With a flip of his wrist, he held a long sword in his hand.

Zhang Mu's heart was filled with alarm. The next moment, he heard a ghost crying. He subconsciously used Su Qin's sword to block behind him. Then he felt a strong force coming at him. It flowed directly into his internal organs along the Shenying Sword and knocked him several steps away.

After quickly regulating his breathing to calm the surging blood in his body, Zhang Mu turned around and saw Cui Yong holding a sword and looking at him coldly.

"Under twenty, and in the late stage of Condensation, you can truly be called a genius." Cui Yong said calmly, "No wonder you caught the young master's eye."

"But do you really think that's something to be proud of?"

"Behind us is only a martial arts village of the Condensation Realm, but it's just like sitting in a well and looking at the world."

Zhang Mu didn't pay attention to Cui Yong's words, his eyes were fixed on the long sword in his hand.

From the previous attack, he could probably feel that Cui Yong was also in the late stage of Nascent Soul cultivation, and was probably on par with Luo Yunxiu, but slightly worse than Lu Xuanxiu.

But the reason why he suffered a loss was because of that sword.

The sword was similar to the Shenying Sword, about three feet long, with a dark blade and faintly strange patterns on it, which seemed to be some kind of runes.

The most crucial thing is that the sword held in Cui Yong's hand was constantly trembling slightly, as if something was sealed in the sword and wanted to come out.

The attack that Zhang Mu blocked just now actually contained two kinds of forces. One came from Cui Yong, which was offset by Zhang Mu, and the other was the sword itself. It was this force that caused Zhang Mu to suffer.

"Spiritual soldier!"

Zhang Mu reacted quickly.

Earlier, when Zhang Mu had just traveled through time, he showed off the idea of "There is no sword in the hand, but there is a sword in the heart, and no sword is better than a sword", and then he was taught a lesson by Shisan Niang.

There are no such mysterious principles in this world. Those with weapons are more powerful than those without weapons. If you can defeat someone with a sword without a sword, it means that your strength is far superior to your opponent.

Whether it is boxing or palm techniques, special gloves are used as weapons.

The fundamental reason is that the weapons in this world can themselves become a powerful fighting force.

Zhang Mu is no longer the novice in martial arts today, and naturally has some understanding of weapons.

Weapons can be divided into four levels according to their quality:

Ordinary soldiers, combat soldiers, spiritual soldiers, and divine soldiers.

Needless to say, ordinary weapons were crafted from fine iron and steel, with the highest praise being "blow hair away, cut iron like mud." A top-notch ordinary weapon could often fetch a thousand taels of silver.

War weapons, on the other hand, are crafted from special materials and using unique casting techniques to aid in the development of vitality. Having a suitable war weapon can significantly boost a warrior's combat power.

In Zhang Mu's opinion, weapons like the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre were set in the book to be the black iron sword of the hero Yang Guo, which was forged by fusing the gold essence of the world. They did have a great enhancing effect on the moves, and should be regarded as the lowest level of combat weapons.

Above the combat soldiers are the spiritual soldiers!
As the name suggests, spiritual weapons are weapons with spirits, which have gone beyond the concept of weapons.

Zhang Mu once saw a spiritual weapon unleashing its full force, which was the "Ape Howl" in Ye Hanzhou's hand.

It was Ye Hanzhou's father who, at that time, had exerted all his might, allowing the ape spirit within the sword to materialize, helping him, at the level of a novice Grandmaster, to leapfrog and defeat a Grandmaster opponent. However, "Ape Howl of Sorrow" itself was severely damaged. After that battle, the ape spirit dissipated, and "Ape Howl of Sorrow" was reduced to a mere weapon.

Of course, the sword in the hands of his cheap master, Old Man Qin, should also be a spiritual weapon, but Old Man Qin has never used it.

At the beginning, Zhuge Nanxian helped Zhang Mu to ask for benefits from Old Man Qin. Old Man Qin said that Zhang Mu’s cultivation level at that time was not enough to control spiritual weapons, so he gave him the Shenying Sword.

Afterwards, Zhuge Nanxian also explained the spiritual soldiers to Zhang Mu in detail.

Spiritual weapons are divided into four grades: heaven, earth, black and yellow.

A yellow-grade spiritual weapon can at the very least provide assistance to the perfection of the Liquid Condensation Realm, and a top-level yellow-grade spiritual weapon is even equivalent to a master of the Gallbladder Condensation Realm.

Xuan-level spiritual soldiers are also called Dao soldiers. They are equivalent to a master and can often suppress the fortune of a wealthy family.

The earth-level spiritual weapon is a treasure, and it almost has the strength to rival a grandmaster.

As for the heavenly spiritual weapons, they can exert the power equivalent to that of a supreme grandmaster at the peak of the human world. Even a thousand-year-old family would regard them as the family treasure.

Spiritual weapons are like this, but divine weapons... can only be said to be legends.

At this time, Zhang Mu looked at the sword in Cui Yong's hand and roughly guessed that the sword should be a yellow-level spiritual weapon. Even if it was of the lowest quality, it was equivalent to a perfect Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

"What a generous deal..." Zhang Mu sighed in his heart.

As expected of a young master from a wealthy family, he actually resorted to using spiritual weapons just to deal with a mere young leader of a martial arts village! "Humph..." Zhang Mu's face was solemn, and he snorted coldly, "I told you, you can't stop me!"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Mu's energy burst out, and the shadow sword in his hand immediately flashed with light.

Cui Yong also drew up his sword, ready to fight with Zhang Mu.

According to intelligence, Zhang Mu once had an incredible opportunity and inherited a set of unique skills from an ancient book.

Speaking of which, this is naturally the news released by Qianyuanshan to the outside world.

The reason for doing this was naturally because Old Man Qin had specifically instructed him to do so, saying that he had many enemies and asked Zhang Mu not to reveal their master-disciple relationship so as not to implicate the stronghold.

Fortunately, Old Man Qin has been in retirement for twenty years, and there are very few people in the world who can truly remember the Tagge Sword Technique.

But the secret of unique skills cannot be hidden.

That's why Cui Yongcai brought the yellow-level spiritual weapon, the Nightmare Sword.

At this moment, Zhang Mu's figure suddenly shook and stabbed towards Cui Yong. Cui Yong held the sword across his chest and was about to block it. The next moment, Zhang Mu's figure disappeared from Cui Yong's sight.

Zhang Mu jumped high into the air.

"The wind is tight, pull!"

Zhang Mu shouted loudly, and then his figure quickly disappeared into the distance!
Cui Yong was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

He... ran away?
Zhang Mu naturally ran away! The shout he just made was also a reminder for the minions outside to run quickly!

"What young hero? Pah!" Cui Yong spat, then used his lightness skills, stepped up, and chased in the direction Zhang Mu fled!
Just as he showed his head, a sword light suddenly came towards him, startling Cui Yong. He swung the Nightmare Sword in his hand violently and shattered the sword light.

It turned out that Zhang Mu did not go far after he escaped, but squatted on a roof waiting for Cui Yong to jump out.

After just slashing out this sword light, Zhang Mu didn't even look at the result. He flew through the air again and widened the distance again.

When Cui Yong saw Zhang Mu's back, he felt aggrieved.

Yes, he is in the late stage of Liquid Condensation; yes, he has the yellow-level spiritual weapon, the Nightmare Sword!

There should be no problem dealing with Zhang Mu.

But the problem is, he doesn't have the unique skill of lightness!
Such a unique skill is a precious thing even for the young master behind the scenes, so how can it be passed on lightly?

Cui Yong's body movement and lightness skill is a superior lightness skill called "Dragon Step", but compared with the unique lightness skill, it is still inferior.

It’s not that I didn’t think that Zhang Mu would escape, but in Cui Yong’s plan, Zhang Mu would at least have to fight with me for a few moves, right?

As long as he fought, he was confident that he could use the Nightmare Sword to entangle Zhang Mu and prevent him from escaping.

But how can you just run away now?

So decisive!

Do you still want to save face for the village chief?
Cui Yong had no choice but to watch Zhang Mu getting farther and farther away. He gritted his teeth and chased after him. At the same time, he urged the Nightmare Sword in his hand, shooting out sword energy one after another, trying to close the distance between him and Zhang Mu.

This method really worked, just like when Zhang Mu dealt with the wild dragon before, it did slow down Zhang Mu's speed. But when Zhang Mu saw Cui Yong catching up, he shot another sword energy at Cui Yong, causing Cui Yong to stop for a moment.

The two sides chased each other and soon left Yungang County.

But Cui Yong had the help of the Nightmare Sword after all, and he was able to gradually narrow the distance between him and Zhang Mu, and finally caught up with Zhang Mu twenty miles outside Yungang County.

"Zhang Mu, tie your hands now and let me seal your meridians. Then follow me to see the Master."

"I guarantee you a lifetime of wealth!"

Cui Yong pointed the Nightmare Sword in his hand directly at Zhang Mu and said coldly.

But at this moment, Zhang Mu just smiled faintly.

"Mr. Cui, are you okay?"
