Chapter 646: Chapter 436: The Military Department Refuses to Kneel, Martial Saint Gets Beaten Up!

"Could it be because of that purple shadow..."

Su Mu’s heart was in turmoil. Just a residual fist shadow during practice was enough to intimidate the Master of Black Fog, preventing him from taking action. Just how powerful would the true form of that purple shadow be?

"Planetary level?... Or an existence beyond planetary level? What would lie beyond that?"

Just the thought of it instantly extinguished the fleeting elation Su Mu felt from shattering the Martial Saint avatar.

Immediately, Su Mu calmed his agitated emotions completely and grounded himself again.

Life and death moments hold great transformative potential.

This time, because the Master of Black Fog did not intervene, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"There might not be enough time to directly break through to Fist Intent... but at the very least, I need to stabilize the insights from this experience as much as possible."

The Punching Intent Prototype was not easily achieved, and Su Mu was not willing to let it go easily.

Immediately, he greedily absorbed the insights from the previous punch and integrated them into his Fist Momentum. In a matter of breaths, Su Mu touched the bottleneck leading to Fist Intent.

Within a few breaths, he truly stepped into it with half a foot.

In an instant, Su Mu’s heart was burning with excitement. He never imagined that shattering the Martial Saint avatar this time would yield such a tremendous harvest. Without the pressure from the Overlord Blade Martial Saint, relying solely on his insights from cultivation, Su Mu estimated it would take him at least several years to reach this point, and that was assuming the Master of Black Fog did not intervene.

If he did intervene, it would only take even longer.

"Is this the Martial Intent above Martial Momentum... this feeling as if I can control everything, the Mental Realm is the Control Realm!" Su Mu’s eyes sparkled with brilliance.

Knowing one method leads to understanding all methods.

At this moment, Su Mu even felt that even if he were given any weapon he had never touched before, he could elevate it to the corresponding Martial Momentum peak in a very short time.

The spiritual light in his mind grew increasingly clear and bright, and Su Mu vaguely grasped something.

But he had no choice but to stop this insight.

Raising his gaze, it was originally a sunny noon, but the sky abruptly darkened, and clouds quickly gathered over Shenjiang Bay, threatening to overwhelm the city!

"It’s here!"

On the Central Battleship, the eyes of the old man in military uniform flashed with gravity and resoluteness. The high-ranking members of the Five Major War Zones exchanged glances, each feeling a little dazed.

Once upon a time, they had fought side by side.

They thought that after being posted to different war zones and growing into commanders of their respective zones, it would be rare to fight alongside each other again unless there was an alien invasion or a Giant Beast Cave outbreak.

Who would have thought that this time, standing together in battle, they would face a present-day Martial Saint.

But at this moment, no one harbored even the slightest regret.

Soon, as that towering blue pillar of light descended upon Shenjiang Bay, its terrifying power split the sea’s surface like a Stabilizing Needle rushing with grandeur.

At last, the Stabilizing Needle stood still, and a figure stepped out from it.

Once this figure appeared, light returned between heaven and earth, the clouds dispersed, and everything was once again bathed in sunlight, as if this figure was the sole existence under the heavens.

In the corner of the bay, two pitiful, incomplete figures looked at the not-so-distant Martial Saint Tower and the sole figure descending. Their faces were filled with indescribable shock and complexity.

"Could it be that master has really been forced to this point by Su Mu... Will master win this battle?"

Cang Feng seemed to be speaking to herself, or perhaps she was asking.

But she didn’t get the expected affirmative response immediately.

So she trembled all over and swallowed hard. At this moment, Cang Feng indeed had a slight wavering in her heart, but to her, it must be an illusion.

After all, just now, it was only an avatar of her master, and this time, the master’s true form and the Martial Saint Tower had personally arrived.

How could Su Mu possibly have any chance of survival?

Cang Feng looked at Qing Zhi. As the first disciple under the Overlord Blade Martial Saint Sect and the most powerful among the eighteen Blade Innates, Qing Zhi hesitated at this moment. This hesitation, seen by Cang Feng, immediately set off a monstrous wave in her heart.

"You, you... Qing Zhi, could it be that you think master will lose this time?"

Cang Feng almost roared in a frenzy, her faith crumbling.

Facing Cang Feng’s questioning, Qing Zhi remained silent.

In fact, Qing Zhi thought the same as Cang Feng. Su Mu absolutely could not have any chance of survival, and he thought he would be very certain of that.

But...

He saw that even now, that proud figure above the sea showed no sign of fear, causing his heart to tremble violently, unable to suppress a treacherous and absurd thought.

Perhaps... there was indeed a slight possibility that master could be defeated today!

As the true form of the Martial Saint descended, the vast Martial Saint Force Field instantly covered the bay, causing everyone inside to feel the urge to worship once again.

But at this moment, an angry shout echoed from the Central Battleship.

"Fire the cannons!"

Boom!

The Central Battleship suddenly shuddered, then all cannons roared, missiles trailed long fiery tails across the sky, whistling as they shot towards that supreme figure.

After the Central Battleship fired, the battleship group above the bay and the ground vehicles below all opened fire.

Countless shells formed a dense raining barrage, targeting that figure in the sky with saturation coverage, bombarding wildly.

Boom, boom, boom----------

The intense cannon fire echoing from the bay reached the ears of Shenjiang citizens, and for a moment, the citizens of Shenjiang City were visibly shaken, each guessing this might be a grand military exercise happening.
