Chapter 640: Chapter 433: Fear? It’s the Trembling of Extreme Euphoria, Losing All Self-Control!

At this critical moment, on the deck, the old man from the Military Department was ultimately unwilling. His fists clenched tightly, his nails piercing into his flesh, golden blood dripping onto the deck.

He growled as he spoke.

"Martial Saint, sir..."

"Hmm?"

The golden figure in the sky only glanced over indifferently, instantly causing the old man from the Military Department to tremble all over. His open mouth closed under the terrifying pressure, his face flushed as he lowered his head, unable to make a sound.

Watching the seventeen figures approaching the martial arena, the old man from the Military Department on the battleship, along with the generals from various war zones, trembled all over. They gritted their teeth, producing a piercing grinding sound, their eyes almost spitting fire, but there was nothing they could do.

In their hearts, there was only endless despair and suffocation.

What are these so-called Half-Saint generals? What are these thousands of titles and countless experts?

Without the Martial Saint, they’re no better than ants at the mercy of others.

Today, they can only watch helplessly as the dawn the Military Department awaited for three hundred long years is pronounced dead by someone.

Then they become villains about to be slaughtered.

The Martial Saint wants to extinguish the dawn of their Military Department right before their eyes, yet what can they do?

They can do nothing...

They can’t even question him to his face!

At this moment, everyone was filled with intense anger, suddenly aware...

The once prestigious Military Department was just a joke.

...

"His nerve has shattered, perhaps we overestimated him..."

Behind Qing Zhi on the right, the third of the eighteen Blade Innates, a man with tiger-like eyes, spoke disdainfully.

At this moment, in their eyes, although Su Mu was still standing on the martial arena, anyone could see his body trembling violently, like a sieve, clearly having been scared out of his wits.

Moreover, he remained motionless even after sensing their approach, further proving Su Mu had completely lost the will to resist.

There’s no grief greater than a dead heart.

Killing someone whose courage and heart have shattered, any Great Grandmaster could easily achieve, and it wouldn’t even take a single breath’s time.

Qing Zhi, who stood at the front, said nothing, regret flashing in his eyes.

On Qing Zhi’s left, Cang Feng’s eyes showed pity too, and she couldn’t help sighing inwardly; the fact that he remained standing, despite everything, was extraordinary.

After all, after the master’s arrival, even the entire Military Department had bowed their heads, and no one dared raise any objections.

A young Martial Artist facing such a scenario, facing the impending doom, trembling with fear was normal.

Lie Hu glanced at Qing Zhi and Cang Feng, a strange gleam in his eye, then chuckled, "Since the two of you won’t make a move, I’ll take care of this kid."

"Make it quick and don’t tarnish the master’s prestige."

Qing Zhi spoke solemnly. The unspoken implication was to give Su Mu a quick end, as such a prodigy shouldn’t suffer more humiliation before death.

"Yeah, don’t worry, within one breath is enough!"

Lie Hu responded; a Tiger Head Long Saber appeared in his hand with a flash of Spiritual Light. But at that moment, the figure in the center of the martial arena moved.

Everyone looked over, only to see Su Mu slowly clench his fist.

"Facing death, you don’t really think you can resist?"

Lie Hu snorted coldly, filled with disdain. If he couldn’t easily take down someone whose courage and heart had shattered, he had no business being amongst the top three of the eighteen Blade Innates.

Might as well seek death by smashing one’s head against a tofu block.

As if seeing through Lie Hu’s thoughts, the trembling figure in the martial arena slowly raised his head, not with the expected deathly pale face, no fear, no despair.

Eye contact.

Those eyes were gleaming like stars, calm, very calm, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, as if smiling.

Su Mu was smiling?

Lie Hu was stunned, and then a voice filled with boundless agitation unexpectedly sounded by his ear.

"Since you seek death, I’ll oblige..."

"And, I can resolve your last query; that wasn’t fear..."

The next second.

The figure in the martial arena seemed to shimmer like water ripples, then vanished in front of everyone’s eyes.

Instantly, the heart in Lie Hu’s chest felt as if it might burst out, his whole body like being struck by lightning, breaking out in goosebumps. In a flash, an overwhelming sense of impending death flooded his mind.

All this forced him to take a defensive stance instantaneously, abandoning all attacks to focus on full defense.

But...

It was too late.

With a splash, he felt something brush past him, then he felt an icy chill through his heart. Lie Hu looked down, his pupils constricting to pinpoints out of panic.

He witnessed his own body suddenly shatter, bursting like a balloon into thousands of pieces.

"You truly misunderstand Su Mu. What I felt was excitement taken to the extreme, excitation causing my body to tremble uncontrollably."

This was the last voice Lie Hu ever heard, as the third of the eighteen Blade Innates fell.

In just one encounter, Lie Hu was directly shattered by Su Mu!

This shocking scene left Qing Zhi, Cang Feng, and others on the martial arena with an indescribable horror.

They and their Blade Innates immediately wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

"You two are different from the others, you bear no murderous intent towards me; thus, I spare you two..."

"Now it’s between me and Wu Ba, I’ll give you only one breath’s time, if you wish to live..."

"Leave!"

Madness, Su Mu dares to challenge the master?

Cang Feng thought this as the notion flashed through her mind, only to realize immediately she was entirely wrong!

Completely wrong!

Cang Feng crossed her arms before her chest, only for everything to crumble, her once-proud flesh, capable of withstanding a Half-Saint’s attack, directly shattered, obliterating into nothingness.

As for Qing Zhi, a golden light flashes past his thigh, instantly widening the bloodline. Qing Zhi’s superior speed was rendered defenseless before Su Mu, vulnerable like the gap between a newborn and an adult.

No, the gap was even wider!

Su Mu’s flesh far surpassed Cang Feng’s, and simultaneously his speed excelled over Qing Zhi’s!

In a swift instant, Qing Zhi and Cang Feng felt fear, a cacophony of explosive sounds ringing in their ears, the sound of flesh exploding.

At that moment, they didn’t care about anything else, shared a look of sheer terror, their courage shattered, truly broken-hearted.

Driven by an intense survival instinct, the two of them dashed out of the martial arena, letting their bodies plunge into the deep sea.

As they fell into the sea, their bodies submerged, they suddenly felt the joy of survival after disaster, feeling immeasurably fortunate that neither bore ill intent towards Su Mu before.

Otherwise, they feared they would have been like the other Blade Innates, dead without a complete body, part of the countless flesh fragments on the martial arena.

Splosh-----

After two splashes into the deep sea.

Only a solitary figure remained on the field.

In just one moment.

The eighteen Blade Innates were nearly obliterated; the golden blood mixed with organ fragments soaked the martial arena.

Then, the solitary figure raised his head once again, but this time there was no one else to fall into his eyes.

So, this time...

He looked towards the sky, gazing at the golden figure overlooking the human world under the dome.
