High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 622: Chapter 426: All 18 Blade Innate Arrive, Hunter Grand Tournament, World-shaking Strike of Ice and Fire!

Several private helicopters set off from the Northwest Desert and arrived in Guangshen Province, hovering over a sparsely populated mountain on the outskirts.

Then, silhouettes leaped down from the helicopters and stood in the void, turning into streams of light, landing in the mountains within moments.

After delivering a dozen figures to the location, the helicopters quickly turned and left.

A total of seventeen people disembarked from the helicopters; originally, there should have been eighteen.

Each of these people had eyes full of brilliance, vigorous Qi and Blood, and an invisible aura surrounding them. All seventeen were Martial Arts Grandmasters, with ten of them having already reached the Golden Body Fifth Forging, achieving the title of Titled Grandmaster.

The ten just stood there in the mountains, doing nothing, and the aura emanating from them stirred up a gust of wind, causing the surrounding shrubbery to whirl wildly.

The leading man had ordinary features but possessed a pair of extraordinary phoenix eyes. He turned and glanced at everyone, "Let’s go, gather at Shenjiang City."

"Boss, to deal with a mere General Star from the war zone, do we need all eighteen Blade Innates to mobilize?"

Hearing this, the man with the phoenix eyes snorted coldly.

"This decision was made by Master, are you questioning him?"

"Lone Wolf dares not."

The man who spoke immediately responded with trepidation.

"Don’t underestimate that Su Mu. Recently, the Fifth Madam requested the Dark Demon Society’s Fourth Pillar Demon... and the Second Pillar Demon to assassinate him. In the end, something happened to them; I suspect they are both dead."

"Qing Zhi, are you saying that crazy woman Fenrir died at the hands of this kid?"

"I crossed paths with that crazy woman Fenrir before. Her defense was strong, even difficult for me to take her down. I suffered a minor setback in that battle."

"This kid is just in his early thirties, yet he could kill Fenrir. His power is indeed not inferior to the three of us. Such Martial Arts talent is truly demonic, even Huangfu Tian is nothing compared to him, right?"

A man with an imposing presence and tiger-like eyes spoke in awe, though there was a tinge of regret in his tone.

"Moreover, this time Master has us all mobilize, not entirely for that kid. There is a grand competition among the Five Major War Zones ongoing there, and we need to guard against the military..."

"Because Master wants us to kill that kid in front of everyone from the military."

A woman with a stern expression spoke at an opportune moment.

"Cang Feng is right. Today, it won’t be hard for us all to kill one Su Mu, but the military is full of experts, with over a hundred Titled Grandmasters, thousands of Grandmasters, and countless Grandmasters."

The faces of the three leading figures, Qing Zhi, Lie Hu, and Cang Feng, all showed a hint of seriousness.

Although the glory of today’s military is no longer, an emaciated camel is still larger than a horse. The military, though lacking a Martial Saint like the Stabilizing Needle, is still a giant.

The military has three major commanders-in-chief, ten highest commanders from the Five Major War Zones, and numerous retired Titled strongmen within the military. These are the military’s heritage, which is why even Contemporary Martial Saints need to give the military some respect.

Just as the Overlord Blade Martial Saint once said atop the Celestial Mountain.

"You must remember, although I am a Mortal Martial Saint, I am not the pinnacle of this world. There are always higher mountains outside, and some rules of the Alliance still need to be followed..."

A Martial Saint still needs to adhere to some rules of the Blue Star Alliance, and even the Overlord Blade Martial Saint cannot act against the military. To do so will inevitably lead to a collective attack, and the remaining six Huaxia Martial Saints will not sit idly by.

Not only do the seven current Martial Saints have deep ties with the military, but the earliest Huaxia Martial Saints also emerged from the military, mainly because acting against the military equates to treason.

Even the Overlord Blade Martial Saint would not want to bear such a world-shaking infamy. The Overlord Blade Martial Saint, too, carries the bloodline of the Huaxia people!

"There’s one more thing, do not underestimate the military’s determination to protect Su Mu."

"The earliest Huaxia Martial Saints all came from the military, and the military has not produced a Martial Saint for nearly three hundred years... In other words, it’s been almost these three hundred years that the military has been waiting for another Martial Saint."

"You’ve read Su Mu’s profile; his background is very orthodox, with no ties to the seven top powers where the Martial Saints reside. He even refused to be taken as a disciple by the Qingfeng Martial Saint, and he joined the military early, with a very firm stance, which has earned him significant attention from the Southern War Zone and the military. Last time, it was the Southern War Zone that took the lead to protect Su Mu."

"Moreover, his Martial Arts talent is demonic, it’s not an exaggeration to say he’s a once-in-several-centuries Martial Arts prodigy. In time, he might just be the next Huangfu Tian."

Upon hearing this, the tiger-eyed man expressed concern, "If we attack Su Mu this time, will the military..."

Qing Zhi slightly shook his head and spoke calmly, exuding immense confidence, "No need to worry. Master said, on this mission, we only need to focus on killing Su Mu, and leave the rest to him."

Upon hearing these words, everyone was invigorated, showing excitement and disbelief.

To kill one person, even their Master, a Contemporary Martial Saint, descended personally this time?!

"Qing Zhi, are you saying Master himself is here too?"

"Yes, so you don’t need to have any burdens."

Qing Zhi gazed in the direction of Shenjiang Bay, with complexity in his eyes, "It’s true that the military has been waiting for over three hundred years, but..."

Qing Zhi paused here, turning into a soft sigh from his heart.

"The stronger one’s power is, the harder it is to bear offspring, especially at that level. Decades ago, Master’s only daughter died on the Alien Race Battlefield, and Master slaughtered for ten days and nights in the Alien Race Battlefield. After returning, he was devastated and nearly abandoned his aspiration to reach the Martial Saint level."
