High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 335 - 279: All Sides Enter the Fray—If You Encounter Su Mu, Kill Him on the Spot!

Chapter 335: Chapter 279: All Sides Enter the Fray—If You Encounter Su Mu, Kill Him on the Spot!

"As for the Southern War Zone, you don’t need to worry; I’ll handle it myself."

The latter part of Sima Lin’s words was conveyed through spiritual power to the present disciples of the Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall, making their breathing rapid and their eyes glow!

"Dao Jiu, you don’t need to hold back either. If you encounter him, just slaughter him directly."

Dao Jiu didn’t speak; he looked at Su Mu and then nodded.

Master Sima’s gaze was sharp. Su Mu had just triggered such an unprecedented phenomenon of a thousand apes and a thousand kun, which made him feel threatened. Originally, he somewhat thought bringing Dao Jiu was overkill.

Previously, he thought dealing with just a Su Mu didn’t require Dao Jiu’s involvement.

Now Master Sima felt a tinge of relief, thankful that he brought Dao Jiu this time; he wanted to nip the threat Su Mu posed in the bud.

"From the moment you dared to take the bounty..."

"You were already a dead man. Initially, I couldn’t find an excuse to attack you, after all, you have Qingfeng Martial Saint behind you."

"But since today you wish to deliver yourself unto death, even if Dao Jiu slaughters you on the spot, in a contest among peers, death due to inferiority is something even Qingfeng Martial Saint can’t dispute, nor will he act on your behalf."

"You’re doomed to die!"

Hmm?

At this moment, Sima Lin vaguely sensed a killing intent from within the crowd. He glanced around and his gaze briefly settled on a little girl with two braids.

Sima Lin had no impression of the girl, and she didn’t have the formation of a Grandmaster’s Force Field, just an ant. Soon, he withdrew his gaze.

"Probably, I felt it wrong."

...

At this moment, an elder leading the team from Saint Martial University and South China Governor Sikong Zhi from the judge’s stand cast favorable and appreciative gazes upon Su Mu.

Su Mu’s displayed talent was astonishing, and such unparalleled talent brought them immense delight!

Both had the support of Qingfeng Martial Saint, and the more astonishing Su Mu’s talent was, the happier they felt; after all, they belonged to the same force.

Sikong Zhi and the team had placed personnel in the Southern War Zone, and naturally, they learned that Su Mu had been secretly investigating all the information on Sima Xie and his son’s movements.

They guessed that Su Mu would likely choose to act after this exchange meeting. Although Sima Xie didn’t attend the meeting, he was currently in South China, over a thousand kilometers from Celestial Cloud Mountain.

As the conveyer of Qingfeng Martial Saint’s will, Sikong Zhi knew well the Martial Saint’s thoughts.

Once martial arts talent reaches a certain level, it suffices, as no one can reach Martial Saint by mere pure talent.

The Martial Saint valued Su Mu’s comprehension of mindset, which was significant.

Thus, the Martial Saint had specially given Su Mu two choices, of which only one was the real test; the other, whether completed or not, was a failure.

"Su Mu, the Martial Saint disciple is right before you. You only need to strike and kill Sima Xie. No matter how the Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall reacts, I and Saint Martial University will shield you, ensuring the safety of you and your loved ones."

"What the Martial Saint truly wants to see is your attitude, your determination!"

"Fortunately, you ultimately chose the right path..."

"In the future, you’ll naturally realize the correct choice you made today will benefit you for life."

Sikong Zhi had already determined that Su Mu would become a Martial Saint disciple. After nodding secretly, his eyes fell on Dao Jiu.

The intentions of the Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall couldn’t be concealed from him, but since Sikong Zhi was here, he wouldn’t sit idly by.

Area of the Southern War Zone.

Su Mu slightly closed his eyes, as if the previous phenomenon of a thousand apes and a thousand kun was not caused by him.

The outside noise didn’t reach his ears.

At this moment, the eyes beneath his eyelids were filled with an intense killing intent, nearly materializing into form; he was almost unable to restrain his urge to kill.

"Soon, it’s soon..."

"But for now, I can’t act directly..."

"To bring ruin, one must first drive them mad."
