High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 167 - 151: The Long Saber Cuts Sharp, the Iron Fist Reigns Supreme

Chapter 167: Chapter 151: The Long Saber Cuts Sharp, the Iron Fist Reigns Supreme

"Is that the hunting squad returning?"

"Why is there only one person?"

In the mountains, at the entrance to the Land of Ruins, an alien race patrolling suddenly spotted a black figure walking up the mountain.

Initially, the aliens recalled the earlier yellow signal flare and assumed something had happened to a hunting squad, thinking those human martial artists had long been terrified by Lord Nanu and were hiding weakly, not daring to appear.

The person approaching was tall and robust, emitting an extremely dense bloody aura.

"Such a strong bloody smell."

Instantly, many aliens were drawn to this figure.

The figure, with a saber at his waist, quickly climbed the steps, menacingly approaching, and only then did the aliens realize something was off. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"No, it’s a human martial artist!"

Recognizing the approaching human martial artist, the aliens were shocked, followed by an uncontrollable anger, they were furious.

"Is this human martial artist crazy?"

"Courting death, a mere human martial artist dares to come alone, it’s an insult to us, kill him."

"Should we signal with a flare?"

"No need, it’s just one person, no need to alarm Lord Nanu, let him come up first, then we’ll take his head to offer to Lord Nanu."

...

"Su Mu, don’t be impulsive."

"Must catch up!"

Lin Ying was exceptionally anxious as he ran, pushing his speed, leaving fresh footprints on the ground, but as he was about to reach the Land of Ruins, there was still no sign of Su Mu.

At that moment, a furious shout came from a hundred steps up from the entrance to the Land of Ruins.

"Damn it, a step too late, Su Mu has already rushed into the Land of Ruins!"

Lin Ying’s pupils contracted in regret.

...

"Go, slaughter this arrogant human!"

Upon the steps, an alien shouted angrily, and immediately a dozen aliens glared at Su Mu, yet only one made a move.

Su Mu was confused why the aliens, having spotted him, allowed him to reach the top and still not directly attack him. Nevertheless, with the battle imminent, Su Mu couldn’t ponder further.

"Quick battle, first slay these scattered aliens."

Su Mu reached the tenth step from the top, leaping forward, leaving an afterimage.

In the blink of an eye, Su Mu, neither dodging nor retreating, crossed ten steps to close in on the attacking alien, his right fist clenched and thrust out.

Swoosh!

The punch roared, mingling with the sound of flesh tearing and bones shattering, the alien hadn’t the chance to scream as Su Mu’s punch pierced his chest.

Withdrawing his right arm from the alien’s chest and tossing the corpse aside, Su Mu ascended the final step.

Hiss.

Just one move, a lethal blow, the remaining aliens watched breathlessly, their momentary daze could be fatal.

Su Mu’s form flashed again, delivering several more punches, each punch took another alien’s life.

In the blink of an eye, several corpses lay on the ground, and the remaining aliens finally came to their senses.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Some aliens shouted, while others reached for signal flares and horns for alarm.

Su Mu dashed forward, immediately closing in on an alien retrieving a signal flare, quickly snapping the alien’s wrist and landing a fatal punch,

A cold gleam flashed.

Su Mu unsheathed his saber but did not unleash Blade Qi, a red line rapidly spread across the neck of an alien holding the horn.

Buzz~

The horn trembled without sounding loudly, its breath ceased, the opportunity gone, terror filled the alien’s face, the horn fell, they clutched their neck, but it was too late.

Punches and blades in tandem, a dozen aliens fell like leaves.

After killing the dozen aliens at the entrance, Su Mu quickly collected their Space Rings and without pause, leapt over the corpses, heading straight for the center of the Land of Ruins.

"Damn, a human martial artist?"

"Everyone, let’s kill him, kill him!"

Though Su Mu’s earlier moves were swift, the aliens guarding this place were the elite entering the Secret Realm, the previous shout for alarm caused other aliens in the outer regions to be alerted, cries resounded as they began encircling Su Mu.

At the mountain’s foot, Lin Ying stood still, utterly shocked, staring up at the steps.

Lin Ying finally arrived, the last scene he witnessed was Su Mu single-handedly slaughtering the dozen aliens guarding the entrance.

"Such brutal fists."

"Such swift blade!"

Only when the shouts from the mountain reached his ears did Lin Ying wake up, realizing their current predicament, realizing he was a step too late, Su Mu had already penetrated the alien stronghold.

What was he to do?

Logic told him Su Mu was too reckless, undoubtedly alerting Nanu. If they continued deeper, retreating unscathed would be difficult.

Yet his blood was boiling; during these times they’d been like mice in dark corners, not daring to show themselves in light.

Su Mu’s madness was exhilarating, though reckless!

"Damn, it, follow Su Mu’s lead."

Lin Ying gritted his teeth, began ascending in pursuit of Su Mu’s footsteps.

Hm?

Su Mu once again hesitated, but this hesitation was brief, the scattered aliens exceeded his estimation, presently a large group surrounded him, his expression unchanged, since these aliens unwittingly came to him, he no longer needed to waste effort finding them.

In this war between the two races, it was life and death on the battlefield.

If Lin Ying knew Su Mu’s thoughts now, he’d be shocked, finding it ironic that it wasn’t the aliens seeking him, but Su Mu who invaded their base alone.

Su Mu’s audacity was overbearing, entering their territory, blaming them for seeking him out.

Yet Su Mu knew none of this now.

He scanned around, seeing no sign of Nanu among the encroaching aliens, needing to swiftly deal with the scattered adversaries, not wanting to be delayed.

Swish.

Su Mu ignited his Condensed Blood, his Qi and Blood surged, like Surging Waves resounding, his left foot stepped forward, and his Long Saber cleaved through the air.

Swish swish swish.

Cold gleams shone, the sound of flesh, bones snapping echoed, for a moment the field was a fount of blood.

Penetrating the alien horde, Su Mu slashed again, his free left hand clenched into a fist, struck fiercely, an alien cried out, bloodied, flung over a dozen meters away.

"Monster... this is a monster, how can a human martial artist be so powerful?"

"Where does this monster come from, we can’t withstand his punches or blade; only Lord Nanu can handle him!"

"Why hasn’t Lord Nanu shown up, go summon Lord Nanu!"

The remaining aliens’ courage faded, fleeing in disarray facing such a monster in Su Mu.

"Running? Stay right here!"

Lately, numbed by hunting Fierce Beasts, Su Mu felt invigorated, his blood scorched passionately, cold gleams danced in his eyes, far from satisfied yet.

Immediately Su Mu leapt over bodies, chased the retreating aliens escaping towards the ruin’s center.

As Lin Ying ascended the final step, Su Mu was nowhere to be seen, the metallic tang of blood seeped unceasingly into his nostrils.

Staring at the streaming blood of alien corpses, Lin Ying’s pupils contracted sharply, everything seemed too wild, far too insane.

For a moment, he could hardly believe it was real.

"What’s all this noise, so loud?"

In an ancient building at the center of the ruins, the meditating Nanu opened his eyes, a fierce gleam within; someone dared disturb his cultivation.
