A sword light fell lightly.

Although it seemed to have no power at all, a deep sword mark appeared silently on the ground.

Su Mu showed a satisfied look on his face. His eyes fell on the secret book in his hand and he continued to flip through it.

His movements were understated.

But Dongfang Liuyun, Mo Xuesong and others who noticed his actions were all stunned.

"I am not wrong, right?"

Mo Xuesong and Dongfang Liuyun walked side by side and couldn't help but whispered.

"I hope you're wrong, but in fact, you're not."

Dongfang Liuyun muttered.

"He did it on purpose, didn't he?"

Mo Xuesong cursed inwardly and complained.

Su Mu practiced swordplay while on the road, and they, as bystanders, watched it from beginning to end.

Mo Xuesong was secretly laughing at Su Mu in his heart because of his clumsy posture at the beginning.

With this kind of ordinary martial arts, if it were Mo Xuesong, he would be able to get started in less than half a day, and achieve some success in three to five days.

Su Mu's clumsy appearance was no different from the mediocre fellow apprentices he had met before.

Is this enough to be called the world's genius?

This was the thought in Mo Xuesong’s mind at the time.

But now he realized that the clown was actually himself!
When Su Mu started practicing sword skills, he was indeed very clumsy. It took him a long time to perform an ordinary sword move. Even the bystanders could hardly learn it by watching. He was as slow as a turtle.

But after he mastered the sword technique, the situation began to change.

Mo Xuesong didn't even understand it. Su Mu just made two gestures, and then his swordsmanship reached perfection.

If Mo Xuesong was still a little skeptical at the beginning, after all, Su Mu was just making a few gestures on horseback, but now, he really wanted to know if he had seen it wrong.

The move Su Mu just made, using his sword finger to generate sword energy, was clearly the power of artistic conception!
It has only been a few days since Su Mu started practicing the Earth-Splitting Sword Technique, but he has actually mastered the Kundi state of mind?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it was true.

Even for a genius of the time, if he wants to master a state of mind, it would take years of hard practice.

How is it possible for a person to comprehend a state of mind in just a few days?

"He has been comprehending the Kundi realm, right? This sword practice is just to fool us, right?"

Mo Xuesong muttered.

As a genius of his time, he found it difficult to accept this fact.

"Is he that boring?"

Dongfang Liuyun said, "It's true that he practiced swordsmanship, but he should have comprehended the Kundi realm before. Now he is practicing swordsmanship, but he is just trying to figure it out. It's not surprising that he has accumulated a lot of experience and finally achieved success."

Although he said this, he was also complaining madly in his heart.

How many artistic conceptions has Su Mu realized?

Could it be that he wants to master all eight original realms of mind?

Is that something a human can do?
For an ordinary warrior, being able to comprehend two artistic conceptions is already a rare talent among men, and being able to comprehend three or four artistic conceptions is the level of a genius of the time.

For most warriors, this is the time to comprehend the vision, instead of wasting time comprehending the artistic conception.

After all, in a sense, visions are at a higher level than artistic conception.

People like Dongfang Liuyun and Mo Xuesong have comprehended four realms of artistic conception. Now they are practicing and spend most of their time comprehending the visions, and will no longer comprehend the fifth realm of artistic conception.

After all, it is better to spend time comprehending the vision than spending several years comprehending the fifth state of mind.

There is a world of difference between the power of vision and artistic conception.

There is not much difference in strength between mastering four artistic conceptions and mastering five artistic conceptions, but the difference in strength between mastering one vision and mastering two visions is huge.

"madman!"

Dongfang Liuyun complained in his heart.

Su Mu didn't know how much psychological damage his actions had caused to the two geniuses in the team.

At this point it becomes clear that being too strong is not good.

Except for Dongfang Liuyun and Mo Xuesong, almost no one else noticed the changes in Su Mu. On the one hand, they didn't notice it, and on the other hand, they didn't have good eyesight.

Su Mu seemed to be looking at a cheat book, but in fact, he was looking at his system panel.

After practicing all four martial arts of the Kundi lineage to perfection, he finally comprehended the artistic conception of Kundi.

It directly elevated Kundi's artistic conception to a perfect state.

The feeling of spending points happily made Su Mu feel that his hard work these days was not in vain.

Isn't the purpose of saving so many points just to be able to use them more comfortably?

Silently operating the Qiankun artistic conception, a hazy ochre color seemed to appear in Su Mu's pupils.

As the horse under his crotch moved, Su Mu felt himself connected to the earth.

It's an amazing feeling.

He could clearly feel the vibrations in the ground, which spread to far away. For a moment, he even had a feeling that he could cause an earthquake.

Kundi artistic conception, driving away stones, rolling sand, dividing soil, splitting the earth...

"Sound travels faster through solid matter than through air. This Kundi conception makes me more sensitive to the earth, which makes it convenient for me to sense movement in the distance."

Su Mu said to himself.

Feeling the feedback from the ground, the various sound waves in his mind condensed into a three-dimensional picture.

The ground beneath his feet seemed to have become an extension of his perception. He was aware of all movements within a few hundred feet.

As long as he keeps his feet on the ground, he feels extremely at peace.

Suddenly, Su Mu raised his eyebrows.

"Eastern Flowing Clouds."

Su Mu suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Rest where you are."

Dongfang Liuyun was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was going on, but he still followed his orders and stopped the horses.

When the soldiers were resting in place, he came to Su Mu.

"Is there a situation?"

Dongfang Liuyun looked around vigilantly and asked in a low voice.

Su Mu didn't say anything, but opened the map, looked at it for a while, and then his finger fell on a location on the map.

"Three miles away, there are people here."

He said solemnly.

"What did you guess?"

A circle of ripples appeared on Dongfang Liuyun's white eyeballs, as if he could see what was happening three miles away.

But even if he had special eyes, it would still be impossible for him to see that far.

He didn't believe that Su Mu could sense so far, so he could only guess.

"From the perspective of terrain, this place is indeed more suitable for an ambush."

Dongfang Liuyun pondered and said.

"Should we send someone to investigate?"

"unnecessary."

Su Mu shook his head.

When he had just elevated his Kun Di state of mind to perfection, he seemed to have transformed into the earth and could clearly feel the movements coming from the earth.

He didn't need to go over to investigate, he knew there was an ambush there.

"What is supposed to come has come."

Su Mu said in a deep voice, "Although Zhu Qi is trying to help us attract firepower, the remnants of Prince Su will not give up the opportunity to rescue him.

This day will have to be faced sooner or later.”

"If there really are remnants of King Su lying in ambush here, what are you going to do? Break through?"

Dongfang Liuyun looked at the map in Su Mu's hand.

"Or should we take a detour?"

"Let's take a detour."

Su Mu thought for a moment and said slowly, "The other party is well-rested and waiting for us to get tired. There is no need for us to fall into their trap.

No matter what time, you must take the initiative in your own hands. "He looked at the map for a while and quickly chose a new route. "Half an hour later, we will set off and go to the left."

…………

"Emissary White Lotus, the troops escorting Prince Su took a detour and did not go through this route."

A believer dressed in all white hurried up the cliff, came in front of Hou Wuque, and said in a deep voice.

"Bring me the map!"

Hou Wuque frowned and said in a deep voice.

Soon, two women unfolded the map in front of him.

The Young Master of Flowers, Hou Wuque, was always surrounded by women even at this time.

"Which way are they taking now?"

Hou Wuque said.

The cultist in tight clothes looked on the map and pointed out a way.

"The route suddenly changed..."

A thoughtful look appeared on Hou Wuque's face.

Ever since Su Mu and others set out, he has been sending people to keep an eye on their whereabouts.

Based on the direction they were heading, he could set up an ambush in advance.

Logically speaking, this road is the fastest route to Daxuan Capital City. According to the direction they were traveling before, they would definitely pass by here.

The sudden change of route would require them to travel for several more days.

"Were you discovered? That's why he suddenly changed his route?"

Hou Wuque said in a deep voice.

"No way."

The cultist in white clothes hesitated and said, "We are following him from a distance, and even if he finds us, he won't know we are setting an ambush here.

When he changed direction, he was still three miles away from us."

They were so far away and Su Mu didn't send anyone to investigate, so how could he know there was an ambush here?

"Maybe it's just a coincidence."

Hou Wuque also felt that it was impossible for Su Mu to know that they were lying in ambush here.

After thinking for a moment, Hou Wuque moved his fingers on the map.

After a while, he said, "According to his current direction, he will pass Luoma Slope in a few days. That is where he will be buried."

There was a gleam in Hou Wuque's eyes. Su Mu, oh Su Mu, don't blame me if you die. Blame it on Wu Yuanhua for giving you too much.

…………

More than ten days later, Hou Wuque stood on the cliff, with hundreds of Pure Land Sect followers behind him.

He frowned, and a frown appeared on his handsome face.

"He changed his route again?"

Hou Wuque's face was as gloomy as water.

How many times has this happened?

We were walking on a normal road, why did the route suddenly change?

Was he afraid he was walking too fast?
Hou Wuque was feeling angry.

Is it easy for him to set the trap?

Not only were there hundreds of masters from the Taiping Division escorting Prince Su, but there were also two thousand elite soldiers.

It is not so easy to rescue Prince Su from them.

In order to ensure success in one fell swoop, Hou Wuque needs to choose a suitable ambush place and set various traps in advance.

He had to spend a lot of effort to set up each ambush.

In order to buy time to set up an ambush, they had to get ahead of the army escorting Prince Su.

You have to predict the route, get ahead of the opponent, and set traps in advance.

It has been more than ten days. They have either been running around or busy setting traps. Even Hou Wuque has not had a good night's sleep for more than ten days.

The Pure Land Sect followers under him all looked exhausted.

They were originally waiting for the opportunity to work hard, but now they are busy all day long.

On the other hand, the army escorting Prince Su was neither hurried nor slow.

Even though his reaction was slow, Hou Wuque now realized that something was wrong.

Under the current circumstances, let alone rescuing Prince Su.

In their current state, if they really run into Su Mu and his people, it will be questionable whether they can protect themselves.

Although he didn't know whether Su Mu had discovered them, he was sure that Su Mu kept changing routes on purpose!

"White Lotus Envoy, what should we do now?"

A cultist with dark circles under his eyes said tiredly, "Why is it always so coincidental that he changes his route just when he is about to enter our ambush circle..."

"What did you say?"

Hou Wuque grabbed the cultist by the collar and said ferociously.

"I……"

The cultist was stunned. "White Lotus Envoy, I just said that they are too lucky and can avoid our ambush every time. I never said we should give up..."

Hou Wuque's face suddenly turned gloomy.

He slowly lowered his hand.

Yes.

Even if Su Mu was deliberately changing his route to avoid being targeted, it wouldn't be such a coincidence that he would change his route every time just when he was about to step into his ambush.

There is absolutely no such coincidence.

He must have spotted us!
There was a cold light flashing in Hou Wuque's eyes. He couldn't understand how Su Mu found them.

These ambush locations were all chosen by him on short notice, and there was absolutely no possibility of prior leakage.

With Hou Wuque's strength, it is impossible for him to be unaware if a spy approaches.

Among the people escorting Prince Su, Su Mu is the strongest. However, even if Su Mu himself is a spy, he cannot hide it from Hou Wuque.

What's more, Su Mu had never left the team, and the closest he was to him was three or four miles away.

At this distance, it should be impossible for him to detect the ambush, right?

Could it be Dongfang Liuyun from Tianxia Sect?

Is it true that all the sects in the world can tell fortunes?
"I don't believe you can find us every time!"

Hou Wuque narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Let's go to the next location to ambush! I want to see if you can really find us!"

The people from the Pure Land Sect looked at each other, with helplessness on their faces.

They tiredly put away the Xuan soldiers used for ambushes. These Xuan soldiers were generally used for sieges. They were huge and very heavy, and had to be properly placed before use.

Every time they move these things, they have to spend a lot of physical energy.

Just as everyone was dismantling the Xuan soldiers and carrying them on their backs to go to the next location, suddenly, another cultist in white tights came running hurriedly.

"White Lotus Envoy, they are coming! They are coming!"

The believer looked excited.

"The troops escorting Prince Su have returned, and they are heading towards us! We can finally take action!"

The believer felt like crying for joy.

Finally, I don't have to chase them anymore.

"coming?"

Hou Wuque was dumbfounded, "Quick, deploy the Xuan soldiers!"

Damn Su Mu, I just set up an ambush!

"White Lotus Envoy, it's too late. It will take at least two hours to deploy the Xuan soldiers. They——"

The believers looked embarrassed and looked away.

Within the field of vision, plumes of smoke and dust rose into the sky, and a large group of people were approaching quickly.
