High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 112 - 106: Joint Letter of Thanks from 100 Households, Rescue Plan

Chapter 112: Chapter 106: Joint Letter of Thanks from 100 Households, Rescue Plan

"After the beast tide is over, I must find a teacher to repair the Red Sun Saber."

"Right now, the Red Sun Saber can only unleash less than a third of its power."

Su Mu, running wildly through the mountains, gently stroked the blade with a pained expression. There was a large notch on the blade’s edge, and the inscription was severely damaged.

The current situation was naturally the result of his battle with Tantai Yan. Although he ultimately swung his strongest strike and broke the Silver Greatsword, the Red Sun Saber was also damaged.

"The quality of that Silver Greatsword is definitely not low, at least on par with the Red Sun Saber, if not higher."

Su Mu personally speculated it was the latter.

So, earlier he wasn’t intentionally trying to show off his sword momentum in front of the villagers. It was simply because the Red Sun Saber was damaged, causing the stored blade qi to constantly leak out.

Otherwise, to deal with some second or third level fierce beasts, he wouldn’t need to use blade qi; that’s overkill.

Due to the Red Sun Saber’s damage, his blade qi had become somewhat violent.

The scent of blood attracted fierce beasts and further provoked their ferocity. Right now, seven or eight fierce beasts were charging toward East Village.

"Found you."

Su Mu drew his saber, and in one encounter, both sides brushed past each other. Su Mu continued to traverse the mountains, leaving behind the corpses of eight fierce beasts.

...

"It’s over, first East Village... now it’s our turn!"

The villagers of Charcoal Village had earlier heard the numerous beast roars coming from the direction of East Village, but they could not assist as they were barely managing on their own.

The entire village worked together just to barely kill one fierce beast, and for that, both of their only First Level Martial Artists suffered varying degrees of injury. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Just when they thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, they were horrified to discover that this one fierce beast was merely an appetizer, just the vanguard of the beast tide.

In the mountains came another more than a dozen beast roars, all rushing toward Charcoal Village.

Soon, the silhouette of a fierce beast appeared in the mountains, much larger than the one they had struggled to kill before. Clearly, this one’s strength would only be greater.

At that moment, everyone’s hearts were gripped with suffocation.

However, in the next second, a sudden change occurred.

A wind rose in the mountains, followed by a flash of cold light.

Everyone was slack-jawed, because the fierce beast that had brought them despair was suddenly sliced in half right before their eyes by a figure that appeared out of nowhere.

This figure glanced toward the village, confirmed no fierce beasts remained, then turned and returned to the mountains.

"Are we saved?!"

"Who was that just now? His strength is terrifying; I didn’t even see him draw his saber, just a flash of cold light, and the fierce beast fell."

Once they came to their senses, everyone in Charcoal Village, including the village chief, was shocked beyond words yet extremely excited, the joy of narrowly escaping death filling their hearts.

"I know, the reinforcements from the town must have arrived."

"That’s right, that person must be an expert from the Martial Arts Association, Armed Department, or City Lord’s Mansion. Maybe even a Fourth Level Martial Artist!"

The people of Charcoal Village started a fervent discussion. Among them, a figure felt that Su Mu’s silhouette was somewhat familiar, and after a moment, he suddenly trembled and his eyes widened, finally remembering.

A few months ago, while driving a ride-hail car, he had dropped someone off at East Village, and at the time, he had wondered why that person seemed unfamiliar.

"No, he shouldn’t be reinforcements from the town. I drove him to East Village before; he’s from East Village!"

"From East Village, how is that possible?!"

...

Since Su Mu had taken action, he planned to kill all the fierce beasts at once to avoid leaving any threats. At that moment, Su Mu still felt lingering fear in his heart.

He knew very well how close he came to losing his family this time.

Thus, his heart was filled with a powerful intent to kill.

"Benefactor, please wait, can you tell us your name..." The old village chief of Reservoir Village shouted excitedly, having been saved.

However, the figure that had slain the fierce beast showed no sign of stopping.

The same scene played out in all the villages near the mountains. By the time Su Mu had killed all the fierce beasts, the sky was already showing a hint of dawn, the day about to break.

"Didn’t you make us wait a little too long?" Miaomiao softly spoke, her daughter Xiaoyue asleep in her arms.

Su Mu was just about to speak.

Miaomiao chuckled softly, clearly joking, "Honey, you’ve worked hard; you must be tired, right?"

"I’m not tired."

Su Mu shook his head.

"Let’s go home."

"Alright."

Su Mu gently took his sleeping daughter from Miaomiao’s arms, then took Miaomiao’s hand.

...

Back home, Su Mu finally felt completely at ease, but he didn’t relax his tense nerves, sending his wife and daughter inside to sleep.

Su Mu sat in the old patriarch’s Taishi chair to rest his eyes, ready to spot any trace of fierce beasts at any moment.

As it got brighter, a figure arrived at the village entrance.

Luo Mei had rushed here overnight, encountering many fierce beast attacks on ordinary people along the way. She couldn’t just stand by, and with the road to the village needing repairs, she could only arrive at East Village now.

"Oh no... Could I still be too late?!"

As soon as she reached the village entrance, Luo Mei smelled the scent of blood. Throughout the village, every household had locked their doors and windows tight, not a single person in sight, making her heart sink and her face fill with anxiety.

It wasn’t until she saw the figure on the Taishi chair outside the courtyard that Luo Mei froze in place, with all the anxiety on her face disappearing.

"Mr. Su, you’re back?"

...

Su Mu had already learned from Miaomiao why Luo Mei wasn’t by her side. It wasn’t Luo Mei’s fault, and he could feel her anxiety earlier.

At this moment, Luo Mei was covered in bloodstains, the bloody smell still strong, likely from fighting her way there, and Su Mu nodded silently.
