High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late

Chapter 656: Chapter 440: After Sunrise Tomorrow, the Military Department’s Unstoppable Rise, Alliance Envoys!

At sunset.

On the deck of the central battleship, Ling Jue awoke clutching his head. His memory was fragmented, and he vaguely recalled being ambushed while battling a formidable fierce beast.

For a moment, Ling Jue’s face was full of anger, and his aura was violent.

"Damn it, I actually got ambushed by that guy!"

After standing up, Ling Jue discovered that he was surrounded by the elders from the Military Department and the generals and commanders from the five major war zones, at which point he restrained his fury.

Soon, he directed his gaze towards the leaders from the Central War Zone, "Marshal Huo, I am not convinced. That person ambushed me while I was fighting a fierce beast from the ancient battlefield. That’s why I passed out..."

"Enough, stop talking!"

However, Ling Jue did not receive support from the leaders of the Central War Zone. Instead, he was directly interrupted by Marshal Huo, only then noticing Huo’s displeased expression, with a trace of anger, glaring fiercely at Ling Jue.

As for the other leaders from the Military Department, including those from the Central War Zone, their gazes towards him were somewhat cold, mixed with anger, dissatisfaction, and disappointment.

What do you mean by ’that guy’?

Who do you, Ling Jue, think you are, is that worth it?

And shamelessly claim that the person took advantage of you to launch a sneak attack?!

After hearing Ling Jue’s words, the leaders of the Central War Zone were blushing, feeling embarrassed. Could the future god of the Military Department, who could reverse Jesus the Martial Saint, need to ambush you, little Ling Jue?

Ling Jue was momentarily dumbfounded, completely unaware of the current situation, as if everything had changed after he regained consciousness. But he was the number one in the Central War Zone, the top of the new generation of the General Star ranking!

Also to be the first in this Military Department competition, Ling Jue could not swallow this grievance.

Immediately, the pride in Ling Jue’s heart rose, "I am not convinced, I must compete against him in the martial arts arena!"

Ling Jue wants to compete against Su Mu in the martial arts arena?

Upon hearing this, the leaders of the Central War Zone wished they could find a hole to crawl into, hurling curses at Ling Jue in their hearts. Who do you, Ling Jue, think you are, to have this pride in front of that person?

The last person who did this was the Overlord Blade Martial Saint.

And what happened now?

The Overlord Blade Martial Saint was directly defeated by Su Mu, both body and divine soul destroyed!

As for the others, their expressions turned peculiar because when someone is too ignorant, they do not get angry, for it is not worth getting angry at a fool.

Seeing Ling Jue about to speak again, a leader of the Central War Zone, in a low tone, said, "Enough, shut up."

Slap!

Ling Jue received a slap, completely dumbfounded, his mind echoing with buzzing sounds, his face filled with disbelief.

Madness, the world has gone mad.

He, the dignified number one in the Central War Zone, was slapped in the face by his own war zone leaders in front of everyone?

In the past within the war zone, he was a person surrounded by stars, never having suffered a bit of grievance!

"Ling Jue, do you think you have any face left?!"

"Who gave you the courage to shamelessly insult the future god of our Military Department?"

"Not convinced yet, still want to compete?"

"Let me tell you, the last person who did this has already been cut down by Su Mu. Do you know who that person was?"

"Who?" Ling Jue asked in a daze.

"The Overlord Blade Martial Saint!"

"What?! Martial Saint? The Overlord Blade Martial Saint?! How could that be..." Ling Jue trembled all over, unprecedented shock suddenly flashed fragments of memories before his eyes.

He seemed to recall what had made him faint!

For a moment, fear filled Ling Jue’s heart.

The next second, Ling Jue trembled all over, struck as if by lightning.

Just because...

In the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a Heaven-Supporting Jade Pillar standing on the bay, dark and unlit now...

"That, is that the Martial Saint Tower?!"

"The Martial Saint Tower has dimmed..."

Ling Jue collapsed to the ground, his face pale and completely dazed, his mouth opening and closing as if to say something, but on the central battleship, the generals all turned to gaze at the distant sea, no one looking at him again.

...

The next day, an explosive piece of news enough to shock the entire globe spread among Huaxia’s circles of top-level forces.

The top brass of various top-tier forces, upon hearing this news, were dumbfounded, their hearts filled with surging waves of disbelief, unable to believe it was true. Their first reaction was that it was false, untrustworthy.

The message circulating among the top-tier force circles was as follows:

The unparalleled General Star of the Military Department, the next Commander-in-Chief of the Military Department, and also the highest Commander of the Southern War Zone, Su Mu, at the age of thirty-four, with the body of an eighth-level martial artist, annihilated fourteen of the Eighteen Masters of the Overlord Blade, severely injuring two others at Shenjiang Bay.

Then, he reversed and slew the Overlord Blade Martial Saint!

The message was not long, particularly the second line which had only a few words.

But in this world, often the fewer the words, the bigger the matter!

Reverse and slay the Overlord Blade Martial Saint!

The weight of these six words, was most clearly understood by the top-tier forces possessing a Martial Saint, as Martial Saints were the millennia-old backbone of these top-tier forces, their stable status unchanging for a thousand years.

It was because generations had a Mortal Martial Saint overseeing them, as long as the Martial Saint was present, no one dared to defy or provoke them.

Yet now, Su Mu was telling them...

Gentlemen, the era has changed!

The Mortal Martial Saint is not invincible in the world, nor is it impossible for them to fall!

Instantly, Huaxia’s entire top-tier force circles were in an uproar, immediately mobilizing their entire intelligence networks to verify the authenticity of the news.

Soon, all top-tier forces’ intelligence personnel brought back the same confirmation.

On the day of the Military Department’s competition, there was indeed a Martial Saint descending with the Martial Saint Tower.
