High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 299 - 252: Withered Branch as Weapon, Sweeping the Battlefield!
"First, eat something to fill your stomach!"
Su Mu started a fire, roasted a wolf’s foreleg, and after eating and drinking his fill, he continued to walk in one direction.
Along the way, Su Mu climbed over one mountain after another and encountered numerous attacks by Fierce Beasts.
But no Fierce Beast could withstand a single blow from Su Mu’s withered branch.
The withered branch in Su Mu’s hand swung faster and faster.
A faint aura was beginning to condense on his body.
...
Night fell, the cold wind like a knife lifted a storm of yellow sand, and a small squad of the Alien Race walked on the Land of Yellow Sands.
"Yida has truly disgraced our warriors, what a useless fool. Lord Nanu sent him to hunt down the remaining fish, only for him to be slaughtered by a lowly human. It’s truly laughable!"
The leading alien, Tucha, with azure skin and a tall, slender figure, sneered out loud.
At this moment, a figure appeared in the distance.
"Captain Tucha, look quickly, is that a human?"
A human?!
The five members of the Alien Race squad were taken aback, all turning to look, finding a human wielding a sword.
This remaining fish revealing himself so overtly had the squad surprised. Coming back to his senses, Tucha wore a cruel expression as he gestured, "Go, kill him!"
Su Mu glanced down at the token in his hand, which he had picked up from the corpse of a human Martial Artist. It showed several small red dots approaching him.
Could it be other humans?!
Su Mu raised his eyes, then found the Alien Race squad.
"Haha, this is hilarious, look at what he’s holding!"
"A withered branch?"
The members of Tucha’s squad burst into unrestrained laughter, seeing that this human had no intention of fleeing for his life. Tucha’s initial interest vanished, realizing now he was facing a fool.
As the Alien Race squad drew near, Su Mu raised the withered branch in his hand, now dyed a dark red with blood.
"Courting death!"
Seeing that Su Mu intended to resist, Tucha snorted coldly.
But in the next instant, his expression changed drastically. Suddenly, he felt a fierce sharpness, and his skin was abruptly stung with intense pain. His eyes widened in shock.
"This, this is... Sword Momentum?!"
Tucha’s mouth opened and closed in disbelief, but he didn’t get any answers.
Su Mu gripped the withered branch, his expression calm in the moonlight. The sharpness flickered on the branch, a drop of blood rolled down, and with it, a hideous head fell.
"Lord Tucha... just died like that?!"
"This, how... how is it possible?!"
In the blink of an eye, with just one encounter, the human before them used a withered branch to instantly kill their captain?
These aliens couldn’t even sense any Qi and Blood fluctuations from the human.
"Bad, run, quickly run!"
The withered branch in Su Mu’s hand swung again, and he spoke in a low voice.
Surging Waves Saber Technique Third Form: Overturning River!
The sound of surging waves echoed.
The fierce wind continued to howl between heaven and earth, Su Mu stepped over a few bodies and continued onward, a gleam of understanding vaguely appearing in his eyes.
...
At the human base camp, blood flowed like rivers, and severed limbs piled up like mountains, a scene like purgatory on earth.
Above this purgatory, a group of aliens were wantonly reveling.
"Hmm? Is it Tucha’s squad returning?"
"But why is there only one person?"
At the entrance of the base camp, a patrolling alien saw a dark silhouette approaching the camp in the night.
The person did not seem tall but exuded a thick, bloody aura.
"This bloody scent is so intense!"
Instantly, all the patrolling aliens were drawn to the figure’s presence.
Soon, the figure holding a blood-stained withered branch came walking, exuding a sharpness, like a humanoid weapon. This made the aliens sense something amiss.
"No, this is a human Martial Artist!"
Recognizing the figure as a human Martial Artist, the aliens were initially stunned, and once they came to their senses, they couldn’t hide their rage. They had slaughtered the human camp, and yet this human Martial Artist dared to come alone.
"Is this person mad?"
"Just one dares to come alone, seeking death, brothers, kill him!"
"No rush, let him get closer, then we’ll chop off his head to present to Nanu and the other lord."
Finally, that figure approached, and an alien race shouted out in anger.
"Go, butcher this reckless human!"
In an instant, over a dozen alien races glared angrily, but only one made a move. Su Mu raised the withered branch in his hand, and a burst of laughter erupted on the scene.
Soon after, the sound of surging waves echoed.
The faces of the surrounding alien races showed horror, and they didn’t even have time to scream, as a line of blood blossomed on their necks.
Suddenly, over a dozen heads flew off, blood spattering.
Su Mu continued forward.
"Enemy attack, there’s an enemy attack!" An alien race shouted, pulling out a signal flare.
Su Mu swung the withered branch again, and this alien was instantly split in half, turning into two pieces of a corpse. Seeing this scene, terror filled the faces of the alien races on the scene, and one of them shakily pulled out a horn from the crowd.
Seeing this, Su Mu took a step forward, and the sound of surging waves echoed again.
Buzz-----
The aura entered the horn and just barely let out a sound when a line of blood appeared on the throat of the alien. With a horrified expression, the horn fell from his hand, and the alien frantically tried to cover his throat, but it was too late.
Su Mu continued forward.
"Hiss, how is this human so powerful?!"
"Wha-what’s going on with this guy?!"
"Could it be a Sixth Level Martial Artist? Or even a Martial Arts Grandmaster?!"
At this moment, terror was evident on the faces of the alien races on the scene, their breathing became rapid, and pairs of eyes were fixated on the human in the darkness holding a withered branch, like a Death God incarnate.
No one dared to stand in the way of this figure’s path forward.
Su Mu, holding the withered branch, displayed no discernible Qi and Blood fluctuations, yet his presence alone at this moment overshadowed all the alien races on the scene.
At this moment, there was a commotion among the alien races.
"Finally, they’ve arrived!"
Su Mu murmured to himself, feeling strange even to himself. Why did everything before his eyes feel so familiar when it was clearly his first time on the battlefield?
Soon, a tall and robust red figure pushed through the crowd, holding a nearly three-meter-long blood-colored spear, striding forward.
"Lord Nanu, it’s Lord Nanu!"
"Now he’s dead for sure."
The alien races cheered excitedly, in their eyes, Lord Nanu was an invincible presence on this battlefield, unmatched by anyone!
"Get out of the way, everyone get out of my way!"
Seeing this figure, Su Mu paused slightly, inexplicably uttering two words.
"Nanu?"
Nanu’s arrogant eyes fell on Su Mu. He snorted disdainfully, his Qi and Blood surging, the blood light like a rainbow shot into the sky. The terrifying aura of Qi and Blood instantly spread, making the surrounding alien races feel suffocated.
"What terrifying Qi and Blood, truly worthy of the Royal Family."
"Lord Nanu is getting serious, this human is doomed!"
Su Mu frowned, feeling somewhat annoyed, so he raised the withered branch in his hand, and the sound of surging waves suddenly roared.
The terrifying sharpness soared into the sky, enveloping the entire area, while the phantom of a giant wave solidified behind him.
Surging Waves Saber Technique, Fourth Form: Inverted Sea!
The withered branch descended, torrents roared.
At this moment, the arrogant expression on Nanu’s face turned into disbelief, as he completely panicked, smelling the scent of death, he roared furiously.
"No, I am Ray Nanu, I am of the Ray Family, I am of the Royal Family, I cannot be defeated..."
The hysterical voice came to an abrupt halt.
As blood sprayed, Su Mu’s gaze landed on another blood-red figure, feeling a sense of déjà vu.
At that moment.
A continuous cracking sound echoed, and the dark night shattered, revealing a crack connecting heaven and earth.
Endless black mist was instantly dispelled.
An ancient ballad in an unknown language resonated in Su Mu’s ears.
On the steps, Su Mu opened his eyes, realization flashing in his eyes.
"So that’s it... This is the Sword Momentum Secret Realm!"
At this moment, the First Level Stairs suddenly lit up with dazzling silver light, and from the Throne atop the Ninth Level Stairs descended a ball of brilliant silver light, which floated into Su Mu’s forehead.
Instantly, Su Mu’s spiritual power began to surge at an astonishing speed.
Simultaneously, a mysterious spiritual secret technique emerged within Su Mu’s sea of consciousness.
Su Mu’s body trembled, his face showing surprise. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
He suddenly realized the problem, that this might not be the Sword Momentum Secret Realm.
