High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 293 - 249: Mysterious Compass, Instant Teleportation

Chapter 293: Chapter 249: Mysterious Compass, Instant Teleportation

Huh?

Yuliss, who was dangling her feet on the branches of a hundred-meter ancient tree, slightly lifted her head. A red figure sped swiftly from the distant Cave of Weightlessness, like a stream of light passing by.

Such arrogance, yet the fierce beasts in the sky did not launch any attack on this figure, instead, they avoided it from afar, a peculiar phenomenon that caught her attention.

This place was the deepest part of the Beast Cave in the human world, with gravity about six times heavier, where Tier Five fierce beasts could not linger for long. Only fierce beasts of at least Tier Six could live here for a long time, but ordinary Tier Six fierce beasts were also at the bottom of the food chain here.

Because this place was not devoid of Grandmaster Level fierce beasts.

Might as well go and take a look.

Yuliss showed a hint of interest on her face, intrigued by that red fierce beast, since she would be leaving soon anyway.

A thought crossed her mind.

Water ripples shimmered on Yuliss’s body, and she leaped down from a hundred meters, her feet, gentle like lamb-fat jade, landed softly.

On her way, two leopard-shaped Tier Six fierce beasts were chasing a wolf-shaped fierce beast. Yuliss lightly tapped her feet, dodging the three charging fierce beasts as if in a dance.

The three fierce beasts passed her by, strangely as if they did not even notice her presence, ignoring her completely.

Through the dense woods and thorns, Yuliss quickly tracked her target.

It was a magnificent bird-shaped fierce beast with fiery rotating feathers and an icy-looking abdomen. The giant bird was wondrous, its only flaw was an uncoordinatedly short tail feather.

Thinking this to herself, her face couldn’t help but show delight.

She hadn’t even spotted that aside from the peculiar fierce beast, there was also a tall human on it, exuding danger.

Yet Yuliss approached this man and bird with a smile, confident in her secret technique.

She noticed the human’s sidelong glance towards her but didn’t mind it.

Then a voice came.

"Come out."

The voice of the human in front came through.

"He couldn’t have discovered me... He must just be a suspicious or cautious human."

Yuliss remained confident, having once showcased herself before a standard Intermediate War God without even eliciting a shred of reaction.

So she watched with great interest as the human in front turned around, allowing his spiritual power to sweep over her location.

And continued to approach.

...

Su Mu frowned, just now his sword momentum detected a distortion, vaguely locking onto a direction, issuing a warning of danger.

He trusted his intuition, and trusted the warning from his sword momentum.

Something was approaching him, or watching him.

"Come out." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Su Mu spoke to try to coax it out, but when he turned around and even scanned with his spiritual power, there was nothing.

Could his perception have been wrong?!

But Su Mu had never encountered such a bizarre situation, and he’d rather believe it existed.

So he decided to try again, raising his right hand.

Yuliss saw Su Mu lift his right hand, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, but her expression drastically changed in the next second, feeling an extremely terrifying battle intent.

The power of heaven and earth was instantly stirred, and a terrifying giant wave surged forth.

"Battle intent above Great Success?!"

"This human isn’t a Sixth Level Martial Artist... is he a human Grandmaster, or Great Grandmaster?!"

"But clearly, I didn’t expose myself, how did he discover me?!"

After the giant tree fell, within the fissure made by the blade finally appeared a figure, Yuliss was forced to reveal herself, but she remained calm, despite the opponent’s great strength, she was confident in her escape.

Thus she was unwilling to leave just yet; she was now incredibly curious, wanting to understand how this human discovered her.

And she had double protection, still disguised in human form; even if discovered, any normal human wouldn’t act further.

Yuliss saw with her white eyes that when she showed up, the human’s expression didn’t change much, indicating that his discovery was not an accident.

As she was about to step forward and speak, a fierce killing intent suddenly surged from the human across her.

At that moment Yuliss was startled, her mind racing, unsure if she had encountered a mad human or if she was completely exposed.

She leaned towards the former as Yuliss believed her disguise was successful, so she deliberately showed a flustered look and stepped back several steps.

"I’m not your enemy, time is short..."

Indeed, after hearing this sentence, the maniacal human suddenly calmed down.

...

Su Mu watched the woman in a white dress with waterfall-like black hair, delicate facial features tinged with wildness, possessing unique white eyes.

Unaware that this person was an alien race.

Such allure is indeed captivating, and in the depths of the Beast Cave, which just witnessed a Beast Tide, there shouldn’t exist such an exquisitely dressed woman.

What puzzled him even more was how he hadn’t noticed her approaching until she was so close; it was only when seventy percent of his Sword Momentum warned him did he act to force her out.

If his Sword Momentum hadn’t recently broken through, he might not have even realized her proximity.

For a moment, Su Mu’s vigilance spiked.

Even if this person mastered a Secret Technique to conceal her aura and form, her strength must be extremely formidable.

Grandmaster, or a Great Grandmaster of the Alien Race?

Though he held back in his previous strike, the woman’s expression remained calm when she revealed herself.

Her earlier panic was likely feigned to lower his guard, indicating that the Alien Race member probably wasn’t aware of her exposure.

Then, Su Mu heard a phrase he had encountered in his dreams, his killing intent retracting, he asked.

"What was the first Martial Arts I taught you?"

Yuliss seemed obviously stunned by this question, not understanding why the human before her suddenly posed such an odd question.

Seeing the fleeting blank expression on the woman’s face, Su Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn’t answer at all. Though it was somewhat coincidental, it still refuted his earlier suspicions.

The woman in front of him wasn’t the one from his dream.

The figure in the dream claiming to be his student wasn’t an Alien Race member.

Since she wasn’t one of his own, it was best to strike first.

Clang!

In a flash of cold light, Cold Moon scraped against the sword scabbard, suddenly unsheathing, accompanied by a ringing sword sound, two massive waves reflected in Su Mu’s eyes, as he stepped forward with his left foot.

With a single breath, his inner aura surged turbulently, switching to Water Breathing.

In a moment of golden light shimmer across his whole body, the golden Essence Blood in his heart ignited instantly, transforming into scorching Qi and Blood, instantly breaking Su Mu’s speed through the sound barrier, white smoke rolling as Blade Qi merged with seventy percent of his Sword Momentum.

Then instantly, he executed a close-range slash.

All this happened in a blink of an eye.

However, this slash potent enough to instantly kill a Grandmaster Level Fierce Beast was blocked by the opponent. Su Mu’s pupils shrank; the opponent didn’t dodge his slash.

At the moment the blade fell, an immense force erupted from the woman in the white dress, instantly forming a golden membrane to block his slash.

Amidst the delicate cracking sounds.

In the next instant, the woman in the white dress vanished into thin air, reappearing several hundred meters away as if by instant transmission, genuine fear flashing across Yuliss’s face.

Beneath her dress, a Beast Head Jade Pendant at her chest had fine cracks appearing; without its protection, she wouldn’t have dodged that strike.

"Golden blood... Martial Saint’s Blood?"

A grave look appeared on Su Mu’s face, realizing the golden membrane was actually formed by blood, yet not from the woman’s own power.

Instead, it was triggered by something at her chest, as for how she reappeared hundreds of meters away, Su Mu couldn’t comprehend.

In that moment, he couldn’t capture her trajectory at all, as if she vanished and reappeared instantly, like a teleportation.

"Stop, I don’t wish to be your enemy, I never attacked you from beginning to end..."

"Besides, you can’t hold me." The woman held an ancient-styled compass in her hand, a sea of stars swirling on it, emitting a dazzling silver light.

Su Mu’s gaze fell on the compass, his pupils slightly narrowing, seeing it was engraved with densely packed ancient inscriptions, immediately recognizing them as Space Inscriptions.

He instantly understood; this was likely something enabling instantaneous movement, with a known range of several hundred meters.

Such effects surpassed Su Mu’s imagination, but the only reasonable explanation was thus; if she could use it limitlessly, he might truly be helpless against her.

Yet after this strike, Su Mu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as the woman wasn’t as formidable as he imagined; her mysterious item in the chest and space-powered compass in hand were external aids.

Carrying such precious treasures, the woman in the white dress must be of the Alien Royal Family, perhaps even among the Alien Royal Family.

But her present terrified expression wasn’t feigned, and although Su Mu had attacked, he could clearly feel the strong killing intent emanating from her.

Even so, she still wished to reason with him, indicating she had no confidence in defeating him, or at least feared his strength, thus dared not act recklessly.

"She should be a Grandmaster Level... rather, a Master Level Alien," Su Mu mused, without sheathing his sword.

The exchange was so swift that the foodie responded only after the strike, spreading wings to stand beside Su Mu, staring intently at the distant woman in the white dress.

They entered a standoff, reaffirming Su Mu’s judgment wasn’t wrong; he had no means against the woman for the time being, but evidently, neither did she against him.

"I don’t wish to be your enemy, and surely you realize you can’t kill me." The woman in the white dress’s chest heaved violently, her voice tinged with anger, she had followed confidently.

To not only be seen through by this human but to narrowly escape death at the Ghost Gate, how could she remain calm?

Now, she needs to understand where her weakness lies; she has limited time in the Human World, and if unable to find out before leaving, she will never be at peace.

"Why don’t you answer a few questions for me, in return, I’ll answer some of your doubts."

"Alright."

...
