Chapter 519: Chapter 378: War Zone Secrets, Bone-Chilling Killing Intent, the Unfathomable Su Mu!

The beast tide signifies sacrifice. Soldiers in the war zone will not retreat in the face of a beast tide, but if possible, who doesn’t wish for peace?

In the cockpit of the fighter jet, Qian Xuemin looked at the various instruments of the jet with a bit of nostalgia. It had been a long time since he last personally piloted a jet.

Today, serving as the second-in-command of the Southern War Zone, Qian Xuemin was piloting a jet again. Along with him on the jet were Yue Jun and Su Mu.

Seeing the jet take off towards the Southern War Zone, the original pilot, a lieutenant colonel, was greatly shocked.

"Su Mu, have you stepped into the Grandmaster level?"

"Luckily, I did, after the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pool, I successfully advanced to Martial Arts Grandmaster." Su Mu replied confidently.

"Good, I heard from Qin Heng and Ye Wuhen about the Bone Marrow Cleansing. It’s a great blessing for the Southern War Zone that you managed to return alive."

At this point, Yue Jun’s tone shifted, and with fiery eyes, he asked.

"Su Mu, I want to ask you something. How did you manage to withstand the combined strike from me and Old Qian? Even a Titled Grandmaster would find it hard to endure."

Su Mu was well-prepared. After the encounter with Thunder God, he was well aware that his strength was between Titled and Half-Step Saint Realm, far from a true Saint Realm, and still quite a distance from Half-Step Saint Realm.

The passage to the Endless Black Mist World has been mastered, and the Rule Refining Technique above the titled level is in hand.

Currently, it’s time to lay low and bide his time. Su Mu needs time to cultivate the "Natural Secret Technique" and to undergo the third transformation of his flesh. Before that, he doesn’t want to draw too much attention.

However, at present, Su Mu hasn’t realized one thing: Thunder God is not an ordinary Half-Step Saint Realm.

He immediately took out a few pieces of broken jade, "Marshal Yue, Marshal Qian, these things helped me block that strike."

Upon seeing the broken jade, Yue Jun immediately understood.

He sensed a trace of lingering weak Martial Saint’s Will within it, which explained everything. The colossal figure in the white smoke was indeed a Martial Arts Golden Body.

But it wasn’t Su Mu’s; it belonged to a Martial Saint.

Moreover, he recognized it as a sword-shaped jade pendant.

"Is this something from the Sword Pavilion?"

"Yes, it was given to me by Ximen Gu." Su Mu didn’t explain further, believing that Marshal Yue would understand everything on his own.

Hearing this, Yue Jun sighed inwardly. He had intended to inquire about Ximen Gu’s whereabouts, but seeing the jade pendant, he knew that the prodigy of the Sword Pavilion, Ximen Gu, had likely perished.

Looking at the broken jade pendant, the guilt in Yue Jun’s heart deepened. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke.

"This time, the Beast Tide Warning Tower mistakenly identified your aura, Su Mu, as that of a Fierce Beast, so Old Qian and I acted. It’s our fault this time, and this ring contains a set of Bright Armor as compensation from Old Qian and me."

"This set of Bright Armor once belonged to a Martial Saint and was damaged during a battle in the Beast Cave. Later, the Military Department gifted it to me as a congratulatory gift when I was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Southern War Zone. I’ve had several master craftsmen repair it over the years. Though not restored to its peak, it still retains seventy percent of its power."

"Once worn, it can directly withstand attacks at the Grandmaster Level."

Hearing this, Su Mu was a bit surprised. Only seventy percent restored and it could withstand Grandmaster Level attacks?!

As a disciple of Wang Shuheng, he naturally understood the value of such armor. It’s a rare weapon of inestimable worth, even more so as a family heirloom for a Martial Arts Family.

Not to mention, this Bright Armor is certainly a top-tier Tier Eight Grandmaster Level weapon. Even though it’s damaged, it still falls within the top tier. As a defensive weapon, its value is at least equivalent to several same-tier offensive weapons.

However, at present, his flesh is advancing towards the third transformation, so this armor is not very useful for him.

"I won’t need it... but I can keep it for Miaomiao and Xiaoyue for self-defense, or let my teacher study it."

After making this mental note, Su Mu accepted the Bright Armor without hesitation.

"Su Mu thanks Marshal Yue and Marshal Qian!"

Upon hearing that Su Mu accepted the Bright Armor, Marshal Qian, who was piloting the jet, was both shocked and relieved. He was surprised that Old Yue would give away the Bright Armor, a congratulatory gift from the Military Department which Old Yue always cherished as a treasured honor, to Su Mu.

Even considering the damaged ones, the number of Bright Armors in Huaxia doesn’t exceed fifty, most of which are held by the Military Department. It’s nearly impossible for an individual to legally obtain a Bright Armor. The Imperial Capital Ye Family once offered ten complete Grandmaster Level weapons for an exchange, but Yue Jun directly refused.

At this moment, Su Mu noticed the complex expression on Yue Jun’s face.

"Marshal Yue, if there’s anything you’d like to say, feel free to speak directly."

"Alright, Su Mu, there is indeed something I need to tell you. This matter wasn’t handled well by the war zone, and I owe you an apology."

Yue Jun then quickly recounted the situation.

Upon hearing that Miaomiao had fallen into a coma and was even poisoned, nearly dying, the usually gentle and composed Su Mu’s eyes revealed a terrifying killing intent without any concealment, his fists clenched tightly and continuously cracked.

A terrifying aura suddenly spread from Su Mu’s body, causing the air to solidify completely. Under this aura, even Yue Jun and Qian Xuemin felt their breathing come to a halt.

The enormous aura flickered and disappeared, Su Mu spoke in a low voice.

"Marshal Yue, tell me, who did it?"

"Su Mu, the war zone will certainly give you an explanation."

Upon hearing this, Su Mu seemed to ignore it.
