High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 169 - 53: The Alien Race Trembles, All Chant "Nanuk

Chapter 169: Chapter 53: The Alien Race Trembles, All Chant "Nanuk

The entire place fell deathly silent in an instant. Just a moment ago, Nanu’s Blood Armor had fully activated, and his spear had even caused spatial tremors, creating an imposing aura as if he was about to kill Su Mu in one blow. Even Lin Ying thought so.

But suddenly, an earth-shattering reversal played out. Facing the Secret Realm that suppressed his Sword Momentum, Su Mu, against all expectations, resolutely struck out. His Sword Momentum completely ignored the suppression of the Secret Realm, surging like a dragon, even slicing through the void.

With just one stroke, he killed the monstrously powerful Nanu on the spot!

In the blink of an eye, the events unfolded so rapidly that the crowd couldn’t even react; many wondered if they were hallucinating.

Was what they witnessed truly real?

Of the remaining dozen or so Alien Race members on the field, not a sound was heard until Nanu’s blood rained down, splattering everywhere, and his bisected corpse thudded heavily to the ground. Only then did the Alien Race members awaken from their dream, though it was a nightmare for them.

"Lord Nanu... just died like that?!"

A female Alien Race member trembled all over, unable to hide her terror, screaming aloud.

Among the Alien Race, one member’s eyes widened in fury. He had witnessed Nanu’s brutal death before his very eyes, and for someone like him who idolized Nanu excessively, it was akin to the sky falling, causing him to lose his sanity immediately.

"I’m going to kill you, I will kill you!"

One Alien Race member couldn’t accept the reality before him, utterly losing his mind, behaving manically, stumbling towards Su Mu with the expression of wanting to devour his flesh and blood.

"Then let’s go together."

Su Mu on the field frowned; the previous stroke had damaged his internal organs and muscles, making him somewhat weak. Yet at this moment, his energy and spirits entered a profound state, and facing the crazed Alien Race member, he unhesitatingly struck out again.

With a swish.

The mindless Alien Race member was akin to a Fierce Beast; under the Sword Momentum, his body was cleaved in half, with the momentum passing through his body and striking a nearby ancient building.

With a boom.

The next second, a terrifying sight came to be. The ruined ancient building was sliced directly in half, creating a meter-wide gash through which the buildings behind could clearly be seen.

Hiss.

A single spontaneous strike, terrifying indeed!

Everyone knew that this was not Su Mu’s full strength, as this strike paled compared to the one that pierced through the void. After killing the Alien Race member, Su Mu’s icy glare swept across the Alien Race members present.

Clang.

A member of the Alien Race was so terrified that he couldn’t even grasp his weapon firmly, letting it fall with a clang.

No one among the Alien Race dared to meet Su Mu’s gaze; they all lowered their heads, their faces filled with fear, trembling all over, as they began to voluntarily drop their weapons, some even knelt down to beg for mercy.

Su Mu alone forced all the Alien Race members to discard their armor and kneel in surrender. This scene made Lin Ying swallow hard. If someone had told him in the Secret Realm earlier about this, he would’ve thought that person was insane!

But the madness unfolded right before his eyes.

"Lin Ying, do you know the language of the Alien Race?"

"I, I... know a little."

Suddenly seeing Su Mu looking at him made Lin Ying’s heart skip a beat, and he instinctively took a step back.

"Tell them to hand over their Space Rings, leave all their weapons and cultivation resources, send a Signal Flare to notify the other Alien Race members in the Secret Realm to surrender, or die!"

Su Mu spoke with murderous intensity. Facing the Alien Race members who had voluntarily laid down their weapons, Su Mu was unwilling to strike again; another strike would be a one-sided slaughter, against his Martial Arts beliefs. But he also had no intention of letting these Alien Race members go.

With Nanu dead, Su Mu had killed a hundred Alien Race members along the way; the dozen remaining were already terrified and had lost the will to resist.

His martial arts philosophy, as summarized by Zhong Guoping of the Provincial Martial Arts Association, was to protect loved ones, pursue freedom, and aspire to reach the Martial Arts Peak.

Meaningless slaughter was not part of it.

Of course, if the main force of the Alien Race deep in the Land of Ruins refused to surrender and insisted on battle, he wouldn’t hesitate to kill them all.

"Alright, I’ll begin!" Realizing the situation, Lin Ying took a deep breath, exceedingly excited, and then began translating in a stumbling manner.

Su Mu shook the blood off his Long Saber, and this action startled both the Alien Race members and Lin Ying, making everyone look their way.

"Continue."

With an air of nonchalance, Su Mu approached Nanu’s body to wipe the last trace of blood off the blade, before sheathing it. This move made the Alien Race members even more fearful.

Upon seeing Su Mu’s Long Saber sheathed, all the Alien Race members sighed with relief; a saber-wielding Su Mu was just too terrifying, causing them to feel suffocated.

As Lin Ying conveyed the message, the already petrified Alien Race members hastily removed their Space Rings, piling them up, then took off everything they had on them, some even shedding their clothes.

Several gray-white Signal Flares soared into the air, with the pattern of a beast’s head without fangs blossoming in the sky, a signal of total defeat and surrender.

After all was done, the Alien Race members and Lin Ying both turned their gazes towards Su Mu, awaiting his next command.

Su Mu gestured with his hand.

"Tell these Alien Race members that I won’t kill them; let them give up resisting. Then Lin Ying, tie them up, and once we leave the Secret Realm, turn them over to Major Lu Ming for handling."

"Alright."

Hearing this, Lin Ying took a few seconds to compose himself before starting to translate, evidently not fluent in the Alien Race language.

Like pecking chickens, the Alien Race members nodded vigorously, and Lin Ying unhesitatingly pulled out a special kind of rope from a Space Ring, binding all the Alien Race members like dumplings, and then locked them up in large iron cages.

Su Mu silently watched all this, and the killing intent emanating from him gradually dissipated.

Feeling all this, one of the Alien Race members, surviving the disaster, shouted "Nanuk!"

Immediately, all the Alien Race members displayed respect, loudly chanting these three syllables towards Su Mu.

"Nanuk... what does it mean?" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Breathing heavily, Lin Ying looked at Su Mu with admiration in his eyes. He had heard of such things before but was witnessing it for the first time, prompting him to speak, overwhelmed with emotion.

"’Nanuk’ in the language of the Alien Race means ’great warrior,’ or ’noble warrior.’ It’s an extremely high accolade among the Alien Race..."

The Alien Race revered martial prowess from a young age; they were a race that esteemed warriors. To win these people over, to earn the title of Nanuk from them, was incredibly challenging.

Yet Su Mu achieved it effortlessly before their eyes.

Nonetheless, Su Mu remained extraordinarily calm, collecting the Alien Race members’ Space Rings with a small leather bag. As the bag filled up, Lin Ying promptly handed over several more bags.

After efficiently gathering the spoils, he turned his gaze towards the tranquil depths of the Land of Ruins, his brow slightly furrowing as his right hand once more rested upon his saber’s hilt.

Standing beside him, Lin Ying dared not utter a word unless Su Mu spoke.

"Hmm? Why is there no response from the other Alien Race members in the Land of Ruins?"

Hearing the question, Lin Ying was stunned, frozen in place.

Why was there no response from the other Alien Race members in the Land of Ruins? How could Su Mu ask such a question...

He had single-handedly charged into the Alien Race’s stronghold, even slaying the Royal Nanu. What kind of question was that?

For a moment, Lin Ying couldn’t fathom what Su Mu was thinking.

Seeing that Lin Ying didn’t answer, Su Mu spoke again, his eyes fierce with deadly intent towards the depths.

"Why is there no response from the Alien Race’s main force? Could they be waiting deeper inside for us?"

"Huh? The Alien Race’s main force?"

"There is no main force left! What you just killed was the Alien Race’s main force... The Land of Ruins, beneath your feet, is the Alien Race’s stronghold!"
