High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 654: Chapter 439: The Martial Intent That Should Not Exist, God of the Military Department, Huaxia Shaken!

At the very moment when the black mist gushed out from the body of the Overlord Blade Martial Saint, an intense warning of danger rippled through Su Mu’s brow and sea of consciousness.

The two peaks of Sword Momentum and the Fist Intent Prototype within him also felt a strong suppression at that instant.

"Just as I thought, the Master of Black Fog’s backup plan..."

Su Mu had already harbored some suspicions the moment he left the Ye Family.

It was because...

In that fleeting moment of close contact with the Ye Family Ancestor, he had suddenly sensed the faintest trace of the Master of Black Fog’s aura.

An ordinary person might dismiss it as an illusion.

But Su Mu was different. He habitually considered the worst-case scenario first when pondering any problem.

Even if the Ye Family Ancestor bore him no malice, it could not dismiss the possible link between him and the Master of Black Fog.

From this, he deduced...

Perhaps all seven Martial Saints of Huaxia, or even all Martial Saints of the present generation, had some connection with the Master of Black Fog.

Thus, after the Ye Family affair, Su Mu descended into a frenzy, cultivating Immortal Cells—not only because it was a fast way to boost his combat prowess but as a precaution too.

If the Overlord Blade Martial Saint harbored that power as well, then the Immortal Power’s restraint on the evil black mist would be a sharp blade, causing the Martial Saint even greater harm.

It would also prevent the Master of Black Fog from making a move.

But now, there was no time!

"It’s not just the Master of Black Fog’s backup... There’s a true Martial Intent on this long saber. Is this Spear Intent? This Martial Intent surely doesn’t belong to the Overlord Blade Martial Saint..."

Putting aside that the Master of Black Fog would strike when any Martial Artist tried to breach the mental realm, if the Overlord Blade Martial Saint truly possessed this Martial Intent, he wouldn’t have hidden it until now.

He would have brought it out to fight long ago, not waiting until a dire moment.

In an instant, Su Mu’s mind raced with numerous suspicions, unable to fathom where this true Martial Intent originated.

Even the Human Great Sage from a millennium ago didn’t possess Spear Intent.

This Spear Intent simply shouldn’t exist in this world!

Within a fraction of a second, his thoughts returned, and Su Mu knew it was futile to ponder further, for everything was already too late.

As the Overlord Blade Martial Saint had said, he was almost at his end, and even though Su Mu anticipated it, the backup plan exceeded his expectations.

If he dodged this strike, he’d lack the strength to kill the Overlord Blade Martial Saint.

No way!

A fierce killing intent flashed in Su Mu’s eyes.

The Overlord Blade Martial Saint must die today!

Feeling the oncoming Black Mist Saber, Su Mu took a deep breath, trying once more to ignite the Immortal Cells, but alas, he couldn’t; the twenty-four Immortal Cells within him were nearly in a dormant state.

The next moment.

The dazzling reverse light swept across the bay like a spring breeze.

In the instant it made contact, the body of the Overlord Blade Martial Saint instantly disintegrated.

Then, amidst a shrill howl, a semi-transparent silver phantom figure sprang from the flesh, attempting to flee.

This silver figure was burning with Immortal Flame, unmistakably the Divine Soul formed from the Overlord Blade Martial Saint’s Spiritual Power, filled with terror, trying to escape.

Of course, Su Mu wouldn’t let him go, he uttered in a deep voice, "Desolate Thought!"

A silver phantom abruptly separated from Su Mu’s body, pouncing toward the Overlord Blade Martial Saint’s Divine Soul like an Evil Ghost.

"No, you can’t..."

The pleading voice abruptly ceased as Desolate Thought swallowed the Overlord Blade Martial Saint’s Divine Soul, completely obliterating it.

And thus, the Overlord Blade Martial Saint fell!

But just then, a Black Mist Long Saber, minutely shrunken and using Spear Intent as its body, pierced through the air, and Su Mu was unable to react.

The Spear Intent pierced through the Eye of the Martial God and into Su Mu’s flesh, driving straight in.

Normally, even a true Spear Intent entering Su Mu’s body would be subdued, but now, Su Mu couldn’t even maintain the Martial God State.

The Spear Intent rampaged through his flesh, and in just an instant, blood gushed from Su Mu’s orifices; every inch of his flesh swelled and then burst apart, turning him into a blood-soaked human sieve.

In several heartbeats, Su Mu’s internal Five Viscera and Six Viscera were destroyed by the Spear Intent, leaving only twenty-four isolated Immortal Cells and one Undying Cell in the hollow body.

Yet the real crisis was far from over.

The sea of consciousness posed the greatest danger Su Mu faced.

At the moment the Black Mist Long Saber invaded Su Mu’s sea of consciousness, the left eye of the Diamond Human Form suddenly, uncontrollably, opened wide.

"Damn it!"

Su Mu realized that the evil aura which had invaded his left eye still lingered, and now a tiny trace of it was lethal.

The two evil auras cooperated inside and out.

The Diamond Human Form was once again eroded, and Su Mu, unable to even seal it himself in this last moment, could only counter desperately, using Desolate Thought once more.

Just after obliterating the Overlord Blade Martial Saint’s Divine Soul, Desolate Thought rushed towards the Diamond Human Form.

Boom---------

Immediately, a spiritual battle commenced with Su Mu’s sea of consciousness as the battlefield.

Unable to help it, Su Mu groaned out loud, feeling as if his head was being torn apart thousands of times in a moment, and his consciousness began to blur.

"The Immortal Cells are still there... I probably won’t die..."

Just before completely losing consciousness, Spiritual Light flickered in Su Mu’s hand, revealing a doll identical to himself.
