High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 375 - 306: I’m Not Interested in Making Friends with the Dead; Time’s Up, the Dead Don’t Need to Know Too Much!

Chapter 375: Chapter 306: I’m Not Interested in Making Friends with the Dead; Time’s Up, the Dead Don’t Need to Know Too Much!

"Shadow?"

"Your opponent is me, and you dare to be distracted in front of me?"

Jing He’s gaze fell on Su Mu. His figure flickered, and a flash of cold light suddenly pierced through Su Mu, causing a small hint of surprise to appear on Jing He’s face.

Because his strike missed, the silhouette left by Su Mu disappeared like foam.

"No wonder Sima Lin died at your hands, there’s something interesting here."

Jing He spoke with a demeanor of superiority, his tone faint and dismissive.

...

Su Mu’s figure flickered. With the Extreme Shadow Body Technique, he made a late move that arrived first. With a step so fast, it was as if he teleported right in front of the gray silhouette.

The gray silhouette was identical in shape to Jing He but appeared eerie because it had no facial features.

At this moment, the crystal human form within Su Mu’s sea of consciousness opened its eyes and boldly extended its right hand. The shadow flickered, but it couldn’t escape these long fingers.

Su Mu’s hand landed on the gray silhouette’s neck, with golden light flowing through the flesh, the Secret of Power activated instantly, and he exerted force to suddenly squeeze.

Crack.

With a crisp sound of bone breaking, the gray silhouette’s neck was directly snapped by Su Mu.

"A strange shadow..."

"But how can it be so weak?"

Su Mu was stunned, his eyes unable to conceal his surprise. The shadow clearly gave the sensation of breaking a body of flesh and blood.

But it was indeed too weak.

The gray shadow was weaker than the two members of the Dark Demon Society who died at his hands, fragile like a porcelain doll, shattering upon contact. The Secret of Power he used felt like punching into cotton.

"Is this what’s called a Martial Saint Illusion? No, this isn’t it..."

As his mind turned, the crystal human form within Su Mu’s sea of consciousness looked towards a particular direction, and outside the campus, he also sensed another shadow.

Immediately, Su Mu understood that the gray shadow, which shattered at a touch, was not the Martial Saint Illusion.

"As expected, there’s a deviation."

It was different from the destiny predictions within the Book of Destiny.

This time, for some reason, Jing He didn’t directly bring the Martial Saint Illusion to confront him but openly revealed that shadow and used it to stop the two people outside the school.

Thinking of this, Su Mu casually threw the gray shadow with its broken neck onto the ground, and it quickly turned into a pool of black, mud-like substance.

Through the snow and wind, Jing He approached unhurriedly, clapping his hands towards Su Mu.

"Not yet a Grandmaster, yet you can kill a shadow that can rival a Grandmaster with a simple move. Your martial arts talent is indeed astonishing."

A hint of appreciation flickered in his cold eyes, his manner like a senior advising a junior.

"It’s a pity, if we hadn’t met like this today..."

Saying this, Jing He paused in his steps, "Perhaps we could have been friends..."

In the next second, Su Mu calmly shook his head, his eyes cold.

Since the Martial Saint Illusion he was wary of was not on Jing He.

He didn’t want to waste time.

"You and I could never be friends."

Su Mu stretched his muscles, his blood and flesh flowing, his entire body like a great dragon poised to strike, with a faint golden light emerging from his flesh.

Standing like a lone warrior, Su Mu’s figure was as majestic as a towering mountain, even the wind and snow couldn’t pass through this figure to reach the building behind.

"Because I’m not interested in being friends with a dead person."

Su Mu spoke calmly.

Upon hearing this, Jing He paused, then sneered as if he had heard some absurd tale, a disdainful laugh escaping his lips.

Su Mu’s expression remained calm, and he uttered a single word.

"One."

...

"What? You say Jing He has reached Fifth Forging?"

A voice filled with disbelief came through the earpiece. Given Jing He’s martial arts talent, it’s impossible to break through to Fifth Forging in such a short time.

"That’s right, and the situation is very tricky right now." Qingli faced a flickering golden illusion before her, her expression very grave.

"Is there another Blade Innate there?"

"If there’s just another Blade Innate, it would be simple, just fight."

"Then what else is there?"

"An... Martial Saint Illusion."

"What, the Martial Saint Illusion is also deployed?"

Qingli didn’t respond further, a look of struggle appearing on her face, the Martial Saint Illusion in front of her was already very tricky.

She and Jing He had past grievances, and their strengths were evenly matched before.

But now Jing He has crossed the Earth Bridge and advanced to Fifth Forging, his strength surpassing hers.

Even as a Fifth Forging Grandmaster possessing Power of Origin and a half-step Titled Grandmaster, she stood no chance.

If they encountered each other, Jing He could possibly ignore Qingfeng Martial Saint’s decency and might spare no effort to leave her behind.

In such a case, there was a high chance of her falling today...

"Qingli, can you get away... if you can, then retreat. Even if you hurry, you can’t make it in time, and Su Mu’s family will have no escape this time..."

"Who would have thought that to deal with a non-Grandmaster like Su Mu, the Overlord Blade Saint Martial Hall would dispatch a Half-step Titled Grandmaster."

"But..."

"No buts, I’ll explain to the Martial Saint on your behalf."

"The Fifth Forging Grandmaster has already crossed the Earth Bridge within the Heaven and Earth Bridge, although Jing He just broke through not long ago, he has likely touched the Power of Origin,

and even if you achieve a breakthrough on the spot, it wouldn’t be enough to surpass Jing He, not to mention you have the Martial Saint Illusion watching you, give up, the situation is beyond your ability to handle now."

"If you insist on going, you risk falling yourself."

Qingli fell silent, the Martial Saint Illusion before them just watching intently. It was clear it didn’t want them to intervene.
