High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 170 - 154: Total Surrender of the Alien Race, The Outcome Is Decided

Chapter 170: Chapter 154: Total Surrender of the Alien Race, The Outcome Is Decided

Land of Ruins is the alien stronghold?

Su Mu was somewhat puzzled; he stood on just the outskirts of the Land of Ruins.

"Aren’t these scattered aliens?" Su Mu looked towards the captives inside the iron cage.

"What?!"

At this moment, Lin Ying didn’t know what to say. Su Mu had already slaughtered Nanu, single-handedly infiltrating the alien stronghold, instilling fear in the aliens who revered him as ’Nanuk’.

Yet this monster Su Mu thought these were merely scattered aliens?

After a moment of bewilderment, Lin Ying recalled everything Su Mu had done, his eyelids fluttered, finally piecing everything together.

This monster Su Mu was probably completely unaware of the human-alien conflict within the Secret Realm; he didn’t think human martial artists could possibly confront aliens in the depths of the Land of Ruins, did he? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

So Su Mu had always thought the outskirts of the ruins were inhabited by scattered aliens, then he single-handedly stepped into the Land of Ruins.

Even so, he managed to penetrate the entire alien stronghold alone!

Thinking of this, Lin Ying was silent for several seconds before continuing to speak. He began to explain everything to Su Mu, clarifying the human side’s unfavorable situation, and confirming that this was indeed the alien stronghold.

"According to you, it’s all over?" Su Mu confirmed.

Lin Ying glanced at Nanu’s corpse not far away, then looked down at the ground flowing with blood, littered with bones, and nodded confidently, "Yes, it’s all over."

"Su Mu, you really are a monster!"

"Which tower is Tantai Yan trapped in?"

"A tower in the east, I’ll take you there now."

As they passed Nanu’s body, Lin Ying paused, "The corpse of the alien Royal Family is precious and of high research value."

Su Mu understood, collecting Nanu’s broken body. In the space rift, Nanu’s body was mostly destroyed, and even the Space Ring on him was swallowed by the rift.

This left Su Mu slightly regretful, though he had to be grateful to Nanu; he was a worthy opponent, exceptionally strong, particularly his final spear that exerted immense pressure on Su Mu.

In moments of life and death, there is great opportunity. Though Nanu couldn’t truly push Su Mu to the brink, after wielding that blade, Su Mu gained a deeper understanding of Blade Qi of the Sword Nurturing Technique.

Additionally, Su Mu had a strong premonition that once he left the Secret Realm, his Sword Momentum would experience significant breakthroughs.

"Perhaps it could directly increase by ten percent!"

Currently, his Sword Momentum was at forty percent; a ten percent increase would mean fifty percent, bringing him closer to Great Success in Sword Momentum.

After storing Nanu’s body in the Space Ring, Su Mu also collected the Blood-red Spear Tip on the ground, while the spear shaft was swallowed by the space rift.

Outside the Relic Tower, Su Mu walked around it.

"Is there a way to contact Tantai Yan inside the tower?"

Lin Ying shook his head helplessly.

Su Mu had no intention of using a blade to break the Relic Tower. Part of the Fixed Star Body Refining Technique was a cautionary example; violent attempts to break the tower could endanger Tantai Yan’s life.

"Lin Ying, notify the others and have them gather at the Land of Ruins. I’ll entrust this spear tip to you for now."

"Okay." Lin Ying solemnly accepted the spear tip, his eyes brightening.

Now he was willingly driven by Su Mu, even feeling immense honor in doing so.

Earlier, Nanu was like a mountain suppressing the humans, making everyone despair and reluctant to even consider a turnaround because rationality told them there was little hope.

But now, Su Mu, with his own power, had slain a Royal Family member, turned the tide, and forcefully reversed the situation!

Nanu was dead, the outcome assured.

He couldn’t wait to share this good news with everyone; finally, a breath of revenge!

Eagerly, Lin Ying left with the spear tip, while Su Mu wasn’t entirely relaxed. Using the map at hand, he surveyed the Land of Ruins, ensuring no other aliens were present before returning to the iron cage.

Then he took out a Blood Essence Pill and consumed it, soon entering cultivation.

...

Some time earlier.

The alien squad sent by Nanu to hunt Fierce Beasts was currently scattered throughout the Secret Realm. At the same time, they heard the explosion of a Signal Flare, all looking up.

In the next instant, the pupils of every member of these alien squads shrank intensely.

"A white Signal Flare, how, how can this be?"

"Perhaps it was released by mistake?"

"Yes, surely one of those fools released it by mistake..."

"It’s also possible humans ambushed our warriors and obtained the Signal Flare."

Everyone simultaneously realized these two possibilities. The Qi Blood Secret Realm was their territory, humans always faced complete defeat when engaging them.

They even had the invincible Lord Nanu commanding within the Qi Blood Secret Realm.

Surrender? That’s entirely impossible!

They racked their brains, yet couldn’t imagine the possibility of losing.

However, following this, all the aliens’ expressions changed dramatically, revealing disbelief and fear, as all the alien squads sank into an eerie silence.

Because there was not just one signal flare.

Boom boom boom—

Exactly nine white signal flares blossomed in the air, meaning complete defeat and surrender. Such a signal cannot be released lightly; otherwise, it would be seen as betraying one’s race, implicating friends and relatives!

"Nine?!"

"The direction is indeed towards the Land of Ruins, have we lost?"

After a long while, a member of the alien race spoke with a resolute voice, "It’s impossible, how could this be, I don’t believe it... complete defeat only has one possibility, could it be Lord Nanu has died?!"

But as he spoke the second half, his tone was no longer as firm, for the nine unwavering signal flares in the sky were irrefutable proof, leaving no room for doubt.

...

Meanwhile, in a hidden cave, the human side was also drawn by the consecutive signal flares.

"It’s the aliens’ white signal flare!" someone shouted loudly outside the cave.

Initially, others didn’t believe it. Some showed displeasure, thinking, at such a critical time, who would still have the heart to joke, especially one that even a fool wouldn’t believe!

A person strode out of the cave, intending to reprimand when suddenly, he trembled violently, stumbled, and if not for someone behind supporting him, he might have fallen.

Because he realized that person wasn’t joking; it was all true.

"One, two, three... seven, eight, nine, a total of nine, have the aliens surrendered completely?"

"What happened?"

"Can someone tell me what exactly happened?"

The human martial artists present looked at each other in confusion. No one could answer, staring at the signal flares of the aliens’ total surrender. They should be ecstatic, but at this moment, they dared not rejoice because they couldn’t confirm if this was real.

"Could it be the aliens are trying to lure us out?"

"But is there any need to... do this?"

Everyone was silent until Lin Ying returned with astonishing news.

"It’s Su Mu, Su Mu charged alone into the Land of Ruins, into the aliens’ base camp, and with one strike slew Nanu, forcing the aliens to lay down their weapons and surrender."

"Ah?!"

"So, is it all true?!" Someone pointed to the sky, where the white beast head lost its fangs, almost shouting the question everyone cared about.

"Right, Lin Ying, quickly tell us."

Lin Ying scanned the crowd, feeling their overwhelming joy, yet they dared not confirm or believe, so he took a deep breath.

"Yes, everything is true."

"I saw with my own eyes that Nanu was slain by a single strike from Su Mu. The situation is settled, and we have won!"

"Let’s go, let’s head to the Land of Ruins."

Finishing, Lin Ying took out the blood-red spear tip!

Hiss.

Everyone recognized it at once, collectively gasping—this was Nanu’s blood-colored spear tip. The weapon destroyed, Nanu’s death was highly likely true!

Moments later, an uncontrollable cheer broke the silence on the scene, with the person who intended to scold and the one who ’joked’ embracing tightly.

Joy and exhilaration from surviving a calamity, along with respect for Su Mu, filled everyone’s hearts.

"Way to go, Su Mu, it’s incredible that he could kill Nanu in the Qi Blood Secret Realm. Honestly, I still feel like I’m dreaming."

"Come, punch me, let me see if I’m dreaming."

The next second, someone cried out in pain, extremely excited, "Painful, very painful, this is all real; I’m not dreaming, just why did you hit so hard?"

"Hahaha, long live Su Mu!"

"Can I touch this spear tip?"

"Let me touch it too!"

...

Soon after, the human side set off, and on the road, they encountered several alien squads, causing a moment of human martial artists’ panic.

Lin Ying directly revealed the blood-red spear tip, speaking solemnly.

"Nanu is dead. Surrender, or die!"

Upon seeing the spear tip, the alien squads’ last hope shattered; they all laid down their weapons and ceased resistance.

"Take them, tie them up!"
