High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 155 - 140: Secret Technique from the Demon God Pillar, Armor of Qi Blood (2)
Soon, a gray-haired boar with tusks nearly a meter long appeared. It was snorting while eating wild fruit. When it suddenly saw someone approaching, it was first startled, then immediately enraged.
Snort.
The gray-haired boar charged at Su Mu, its tusks gleaming coldly.
In the next second.
Su Mu’s hand fell upon the hilt of his blade, his body leaning forward as he took a step.
Clang.
The cold light flickered, and Su Mu closed his eyes, recalling the previous strike, while the gray-haired boar still hadn’t realized that death had already arrived—until a line of blood suddenly expanded over its body.
Its body, cut into two pieces, ran forward a few meters before falling.
"Weapons are tools for killing, and real combat is the best place to practice martial arts."
Su Mu came to an understanding, and after digesting it, he reopened his eyes, his determined gaze slightly brightening.
"This seems to be a spirit plant? I’ll take it first."
Su Mu didn’t refer to the Spirit Plant Atlas to identify it. Instead, he casually put the wild fruits the gray-haired boar was eating into his space ring. Time was pressing, and he didn’t have time to waste on such trivial matters.
In less than a minute, another fierce beast appeared. This time it was a giant lizard, its body covered in brown spots, excluding the tail, it was at least two meters long. This was a colossal creature.
Su Mu judged it to be a fourth-level fierce beast, likely advancing due to the secret realm about to emerge.
The giant lizard extended its long tongue, and upon noticing Su Mu, it surprisingly raised its forelimbs, supporting itself with its hind limbs, advancing toward Su Mu in a strange stance.
Su Mu was slightly taken aback, but his movements didn’t stop, and his body instantly assumed the stance of a sword drawing secret technique.
Sparks flew, the blade unsheathed.
The sharp edge flickered briefly, and the giant lizard’s life extinguished like a candle in the wind, instantly snuffed out.
"Even faster. Continue."
Su Mu digested the moment, cleaving the giant lizard’s head open with a single slash, using the tip of the saber to extract a blood core the size of a thumb.
At noon, Su Mu flicked his wrist, shaking the fierce beast’s blood from his long saber, then wiped it clean on the nearby big cat corpse before sheathing the blade, intending to leave.
He felt something in his space ring trembling.
"Hmm... is it a war order?"
Su Mu retrieved the war order. Held in his hand, it still trembled nonstop, and soon lines of red text appeared. This scene inevitably brought Su Mu back to his first encounter on the alien race battlefield.
This is emergency communication!
Su Mu took a deep breath and looked.
[Encountered bloodline alien race and two sixth-level alien races attacking, requesting support, coordinates...]
Upon seeing the content of this emergency communication, Su Mu’s memory was triggered. This was the second time he received an emergency communication.
The first time, the human base on the alien race battlefield was wiped out by two bloodline alien races with a group of other aliens.
And this time, bloodline alien races appeared again.
In the next moment, a domineering sharpness surged from Su Mu, shooting skyward. This wasn’t Su Mu unleashing his sword momentum; rather, it released on its own.
The sword momentum is the embodiment of the martial artist’s martial arts will!
"In that case, let’s fight."
At this moment, Su Mu’s eyes were firm. The first time he faced bloodline alien races and the emergency communication from his kin, he was too weak and could only flee.
But this time, Su Mu wanted to try; he couldn’t just watch his kin die.
"Bloodline alien race, huh?"
...
Simultaneously, the emergency communication appeared in the war orders of everyone on the battlefield from the human side.
In the temporary base camp, Zhang Lie’s expression changed dramatically. To send out an emergency communication under the attack of bloodline alien race and two sixth-level alien races, the identity of someone with such strength was clear.
"This emergency communication was sent by Captain Chai Wu!"
"What, sent by Captain Chai Wu? Then we must hurry to support the captain."
Some hesitated in the base camp, but more spoke up without hesitation. As the only sixth-level martial artist in the base, Zhang Lie forced himself to calm down.
He took a deep breath and spoke calmly.
"Lin Feng, leave the battlefield immediately and inform the outside world about Captain Chai Wu being besieged."
"All martial artists of fifth level or above gather at the base camp immediately; the others, there’s no need to go."
After speaking, Zhang Lie immediately strode toward a place where Su Mu and the other two were resting.
Tantai Yan and Lin Ying awoke from their cultivation the moment they received the emergency communication.
"Where is Su Mu?"
"Su Mu is not in the camp," Tantai Yan replied, while Lin Ying sneered beside her, secretly thinking how lucky Su Mu was!
"The situation is urgent. We’ll have to trouble the two of you to come with us right away and head to support Captain Chai Wu."
"Alright, let’s set off quickly."
...
Clang!
A metallic clash rang out suddenly. The moment the spear and the long saber collided, the shockwave raised dust several meters high around them.
In the midst of battle, Chai Wu’s face reflected his horror. From the opponent’s spear, he felt an extremely terrifying force, causing intense pain in his wrist and making blood flow.
If his opponent were a Sixth Level Alien, he wouldn’t have been so shocked, but now he was fighting a Fifth Level Alien.
Indeed, Chai Wu was up against just a Fifth Level Alien. But this alien was tall, over two meters high, and more strikingly, his skin was entirely crimson.
This was clearly a Bloodline Alien.
"This guy is definitely not an ordinary Bloodline Alien. Could he be royalty?"
In an instant, Chai Wu regretted it. In his peripheral vision, he saw dozens of aliens standing behind the Bloodline Alien, led by two aliens with blood-like spots on their bodies.
Chai Wu was familiar with these two since they were the Sixth Level Aliens stationed on the battlefield.
Driven by survival instincts, Chai Wu had sent out that emergency communication, but he now clearly realized that the enemy had allowed him to do so, just to lure others out.
It’s not just the humans wanting to clear the field; the aliens also had this intention, and now they’ve found their chance.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort interrupted Chai Wu’s thoughts, as the Bloodline Alien opposite him showed a slight displeasure on his face, annoyed that Chai Wu dared to be distracted during their fight!
Nanu let out an angry shout, bloodlight swirling around the spear in his hand, his entire body emanating a strange blood-red aura with an incredibly solidified Qi Blood.
Sensing this condensed Qi Blood emission, Chai Wu was even more shocked. As expected of an alien, their Qi Blood Cultivation is indeed powerful.
Clang clang clang.
Every strike brought not only a metallic clash but also a fine cracking sound.
It wasn’t coming from Nanu, but from Chai Wu. This wasn’t any other sound but the sound of Chai Wu’s arm bones unable to withstand the terrifying force, cracking under pressure.
"No, this can’t go on."
Chai Wu had been worried about the other two Sixth Level Aliens launching a sneak attack, and thus hadn’t been fighting with full force, but now he realized the Fifth Level Bloodline Alien he was facing was terrifyingly strong, not weaker than a Sixth Level Alien.
The next second, Chai Wu let out a roar.
In an instant, the Qi Blood within him began to circulate wildly, and soon, above Chai Wu’s head, a blood-red flower faintly formed. The moment the Qi Blood Flower appeared.
Chai Wu’s aura began to surge wildly. For a moment, apart from the two Sixth Level Aliens, the other Fifth Level Aliens felt an overwhelming pressure.
"Qi Blood Flower!"
Outside the fight, the two Sixth Level Aliens saw this and knew Chai Wu was going all out, and both of them flashed their weapons, ready to strike at any moment.
"Get lost, I want to kill him myself!" Nanu commanded in Alien language with undeniable authority.
The two Sixth Level Aliens were inwardly angry but ultimately did not act.
Nanu licked his lips with his tongue, and the next second, he pushed his internal Qi Blood to the extreme, and a shocking scene unfolded. A dense Qi Blood burst forth, forming an Armor of Qi Blood on Nanu’s body.
"Condensing blood into armor, the Armor of Qi Blood, this guy is indeed royalty!"
Chai Wu’s heart sank. The Armor of Qi Blood was almost an exclusive secret technique of the Alien Royal Family. This technique is rumored to originate from the Demon God Pillar and is passed down through the Bloodline among the aliens.
This technique is extremely terrifying. Once activated, an alien’s power can be doubled in a short amount of time.
In an instant, even with the Qi Blood Flower activated, despair seeped into Chai Wu’s heart, along with a sense of helpless indignation. He, as a Sixth Level Martial Artist who had manifested the Qi Blood Flower, wasn’t a match for a Fifth Level Alien.
Even in terms of Qi Blood, he felt unable to suppress the Fifth Level Alien before him.
The strength of the Alien Royal Family suffocated Chai Wu.
"Human, come!"
With the Armor of Qi Blood enhancing him, bloodlight soared from Nanu’s body, appearing from a distance as if enveloped by a blood-red pillar. Nanu looked at Chai Wu with eyes full of contempt.
At this moment, he seemed like an unrivaled Fierce Beast, issuing a mad challenge to Chai Wu, who was a whole Great Realm higher than him.
