High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late Chapter 63: Killing Intent Surges, Scarface Falls Again

After the eting, Gong Wu privately sought out Luo Cheng.

"Sothing doesn’t feel right." Luo Cheng was the first to speak.

"Actually, I have the sa feeling... Tonight it’s like we’ve been led by the nose by the Demon Cultists, they know our every move, the only variable could be number ten."

"So, you deliberately shifted everyone’s attention to number ten?"

"No, I did suspect him, but if I was wrong, I would personally apologize to him afterward." Gong Wu shook his head.

"I have already requested reinforcents from the Shenjiang City Martial Arts Association, only you and I know about this now."

The two exchanged a glance, instantly understanding each other.

...

"It took half of the Blade Qi to slay the Demon Staff... but that was with the enemy being careless."

"Maybe it didn’t actually take half the Blade Qi, no, can’t think like this!"

Su Mu was well aware that overestimating himself and underestimating the enemy would only lead to an earlier death.

[After cultivating Blade Qi a thousand tis, your Sword Montum has slightly improved!]

"But after understanding Sword Montum, continuously cultivating Blade Qi in the past few days has greatly enhanced the Sword Montum!"

The saber, a tool for killing.

This feeling was especially evident after slaying the Demon Staff with one stroke; the teacher once ntioned that the realm of Sword Montum has ten levels, three levels of Minor Success, six levels of Great Success, nine levels of Peak, and ten levels of Perfection.

Su Mu guessed his Sword Montum might not be far from the second level, and after improving his understanding of Sword Montum, the efficiency of cultivating Blade Qi also increased.

"Indeed, between life and death there is great creation. Today I probably won’t be able to fully cultivate Blade Qi, but that stroke last night wasn’t actually my strongest stroke."

Thinking to himself, Su Mu continued to cultivate Blade Qi.

During the day, reporters surrounded the City Lord’s Mansion, Martial Arts Association, and Ard Departnt; all three parties unified their statents, claiming it was rely an accident, and the specific reasons were under investigation.

However, during an interview, a head of the City Lord’s Mansion accidentally let slip that a corpse of a Fifth Level Martial Artist was found in an abandoned factory last night, discovered by soone from the Martial Arts Association, Jiang Mu.

Rumors flew everywhere for a ti.

Everything was going according to plan...

Ti passed, the sunset outside the window tinged the clouds, as night fell, several armored cars from the City Lord’s Mansion grandly drove towards the Black Market.

A few hours earlier, at noon, a ragged van had driven out of the City Lord’s Mansion after delivering boxed lunches.

...

Under the cover of night, a ten-person hunting team made their way through the mountains, with two leading n; a chubby man with a cheerful deanor and a strong man with a scar on his face.

The scarred man took out his phone, and when the screen lit up, a photo appeared.

"Fatty, I don’t want anyone else involved in this matter, I want to personally avenge Skinny."

"Don’t worry, this isn’t sothing glorious, I don’t need to tell anyone else."

"Alright."

"Everyone tighten up." The chubby man glanced at his watch, there were three hours left until the appointed ti, but he already had doubts about soone, so he planned to go over there early and take a look.

...

The dark clouds thickened, hiding the waning moon.

In the next second, a flock of birds fluttered away in the forest.

"As planned, move!" Lu Lin gave the order.

Luo Cheng, Hong Yi, the Liu Family siblings, and Su Mu charged towards the two leading figures, Luo Cheng and Hong Yi going for the chubby man, while the Liu Family siblings and Su Mu targeted the Scarface.

Lu Lin and Gong Wu, along with three others, erged from behind, cutting off the retreat for the ten.

The chubby man’s face changed dramatically, quickly realizing he had been set up when he noticed the absence of a particular person.

"Scarface, let’s break through first." The chubby man said anxiously.

But Scarface stood his ground, ignoring him, gritting his teeth and staring at a figure in the crowd, "Are you Su Mu?!"

"Oh?" Su Mu frowned, recognizing his opponent.

"I want to kill you to avenge Skinny!"

Avenge Skinny?

Demon Staff?

Su Mu’s whole body shuddered, thoughts swirling rapidly as if he realized sothing.

"Kill them." Hong Yi thrust out his long spear, initiating the lee.

"Go!"

The Liu Family siblings didn’t hesitate either, with number ten’s Su Mu having already killed one person, they couldn’t fall behind.

Luo Cheng observed Scarface’s reaction and hesitated no more, planning to slaughter these madn without delay, imdiately flashing his long saber and charging at the chubby man.

Scarface, with formidable strength, let out a roar as a powerful aura enveloped him, a layer of blood light circulating all over, and charged at Su Mu, but the Liu Family siblings blocked his way.

"Get out of my way!"

Clang!

The clash of blade and sword sparked fire, the shockwaves from the collision lifting the fallen leaves and dust from the ground, creating swirling smoke, after a ferocious strike, Scarface not retreating but advancing.

Liu Ming had been put on the defensive in the previous strike, his Qi and Blood roiling within, forced back several steps.

Seeing the man attacking again, Liu Ming’s expression changed slightly, was this man insane? Facing an encirclent and not fleeing, but instead wanting to burst out and kill.

"Sister, be careful."

On the other side, the chubby man’s heart was extrely anxious, the sounds of battle behind him reached his ears. If Scarface didn’t cooperate, it would be difficult for him to break through alone. In a flash, a dark spear arrived.

The chubby man’s spear thrust out, eting the long spear head-on, point against point.

Clang, clang, clang.

The spear and pike clashed violently, like two flood dragons fighting, echoing with a series of tallic clashes.

Crack.

The battling spear and pike hit the pine trees on the sides, and the pine trees, unable to bear the burden, snapped and fell with a roar.

Hong Yi felt the violent shock coming from the spear, and was taken aback, realizing the opponent’s strength was above his. But at the mont, they held the absolute advantage on their side.

So Hong Yi didn’t retreat in the slightest, he had overco stronger foes before. At this mont, he channeled all his Qi and blood into the spear, took a step forward, and blocked the chubby man’s movents with force.

In the next second, a figure leapt into the fray, Luo Cheng gripping his saber with both hands, bringing it down with the force to split Mount Hua.

The chubby man wanted to withdraw, but Hong Yi wouldn’t let him. The spear entangled him.

"Damn it!"

Clang!

The chubby man couldn’t retreat and had to endure Luo Cheng’s saber strike.

After the strike, Luo Cheng stepped back a pace, and the chubby man retreated three steps before attempting a counterattack. At this ti, Hong Yi’s spear arrived, causing the chubby man to let out a muffled groan, forcibly withdrawing his offensive and switching to a defensive stance.

"You’re strong, but today you will die under my spear," Hong Yi said with admiration in his eyes. This man was fighting two without losing ground, and such skill earned his respect.

Elsewhere, the Liu family siblings were in bitter struggle, as Scarface had completely lost his mind, continuously roaring his intent to charge forward.

"Number Ten, have you seen enough? He’s targeting you!"

The latter part of the sentence startled Su Mu awake.

The enemy was coming for him?!

At this mont, Su Mu seed to understand sothing, and killing intent surged within him.

Clang!

Su Mu exuded a sharp montum all over, drawing the long saber in his hand. Instantly, everyone present shuddered, their skin tingling with numbness and pain.

"What is this?"

"Sword Montum? How is this possible? Scarface, retreat, retreat..."

The chubby man shouted, but it was all too late.

"Number Two, Number Three, move aside." A cold voice ca from behind.

Su Mu stepped forward, the sword montum condensed onto the saber, fully unleashing the blade qi within. The invisible saber glow twisted the air around it.

A withered leaf fell, split into two before it even got close.

Su Mu advanced, his aura rising once more.

Surging Waves Saber Technique, First Form: Riding the Wind!

As the saber was about to fall, the Liu family siblings felt their hairs stand on end, sensing a threat of life and death, and they desperately rolled aside to dodge.

Whoosh!

A single saber strike cut through like surging waves.

Scarface’s body stiffened, taking half a step forward before his head flew off, body collapsing with a thud.

In that instant, dead silence enveloped the scene.

To slay a Fifth Level Martial Artist with a single strike, how terrifying was that?

The Liu family siblings swallowed hard, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, wondering if they could possibly survive if that strike landed on them.

The answer was negative...

"Escape, we must escape!" Seeing Scarface killed like that, the chubby man was terrified out of his mind, taking advantage of the montary daze of everyone present.

He roared, shaking off Hong Yi’s spear and Luo Cheng’s saber, and turned to flee.

Thud.

Yet, a figure recovered faster than him, a three-footed sword quietly pierced forward. The chubby man glanced down to see his chest wet with blood, the long sword had pierced through it. The chubby man looked up.

His face was full of anger and reluctance, his mouth opening and closing, trying to say sothing.

Lu Lin abruptly withdrew his sword, then thrust it out again to slash his throat.

"Damn demon cultist, just die."

"You... you..."

As the two leading Fifth Level Demon Cultists died, the rest were quickly killed or captured by the others present. Su Mu made no further movents, stepping forward without anyone daring to stand in his way.

Because, at this mont, Su Mu had not sheathed his saber, but instead, the sharpness emanating from him was even more terrifying.

Su Mu crouched down, searching Scarface’s body to retrieve a ring and a cellphone. He glanced at the items in the ring, then his eyes fell on the cellphone, the screen lighting up.

On it was a photo of a family of three.

In the photo, the family of three was wearing big red flowers, smiling brightly. It was indeed a photo of him, Miaomiao, and Xiaoyue.

At this mont, Su Mu’s expression was stern, barely concealing his killing intent. He raised the saber in his hand, looking coldly at Lu Lin, Luo Cheng, and Gong Wu, colder than when he had killed Scarface.

"You three owe an explanation!"
