Chapter 409 - 325: Light of Destruction—No One Will Be Sacrificed Before Me!
Zhou Haiqing from the Tenth Company, top in martial demonstrations, issued a challenge to Su Mu.
Chen Bin and Zhou Gu also looked at Su Mu with intense gazes. Not long ago, the Fierce Beast beside Su Mu had intimidated over a thousand Blood Eagles on the battlefield with just a single cry, making both of them look forward to Foodie with great eagerness.
At this moment, countless eyes focused on Su Mu.
Su Mu, on the viewing platform, slowly stood up amidst the crowd’s attention. His deep eyes were as calm as ever. He patted Foodie beside him.
Su Mu also wanted to see if Foodie’s strength had improved during this time.
Foodie shook its wings, a fierce gust emerging from them as it let out a loud, ringing cry.
It was also issuing a challenge. Since this was the case, Su Mu chose to trust Foodie.
"Alright, then let there be a battle."
Foodie moved down from the observation platform with a vigorous demeanor. Chen Bin immediately spoke, "Fists and kicks have no eyes, and martial demonstrations are ruthless. Li Heng, go and get a set of Battle Armor for the Su Mu General Star."
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, Captain Lian Heng responded immediately and turned to fetch the Battle Armor.
"No need."
Su Mu interrupted.
"Su Mu General Star, in our Blood Eagle Team’s martial demonstrations, we always give our all and never hold back. Wearing Battle Armor would be better to reduce the toll of the demonstrations. It’s good for everyone..." Li Heng explained.
Su Mu shook his head and said calmly, "I don’t intend to take action; having it fight will be enough."
The moment he said this, the battlefield suddenly fell silent, leaving only the howling mountain wind between heaven and earth.
Instantly.
All the Blood Eagle Warriors who had been anticipating this battle stiffened and turned their heads in unison to look at Su Mu.
What bold words!
Underneath that calm tone was immense lethality.
Zhou Haiqing and the others naturally knew they were no match for Su Mu in solo combat, so they were all clear about this point. Therefore, for this battle, the ten of them would surely join forces.
Five people were enough to form a battle array, and the power of ten people forming an array would only be greater.
Despite this, the ten of them had little confidence because, theoretically, a group of five should be enough to suppress a genuine Martial Arts Grandmaster. But the man before them was not an ordinary person; Su Mu was a peerless warrior who achieved General Star in one battle.
But they still wanted to give it a try.
However...
Now, this General Star was so overconfident, claiming that he wouldn’t act and would only let the Fierce Beast beside him engage.
If someone else had said this, the Blood Eagle Warriors would have been disdainful.
But this very sentence came from Su Mu...
Moreover, the way he spoke made it seem like it was only natural, as though it should have always been this way.
For a moment, Chen Bin raised an eyebrow, showing anger. To his ears, as the Captain of the Blood Eagle Team, these words were somewhat humiliating.
On the battlefield, a thousand Blood Eagle Warriors harbored a suppressed fire of anger, and the ten who just emerged from the demonstrations, including Zhou Haiqing, clenched their fists tightly.
"It seems Su Mu has great confidence in his Fierce Beast companion..."
On the viewing platform, Zhou Gu observed Su Mu’s expression from the corner of his eye. Instead of feeling unhappy, he felt even more anticipation for this battle.
He immediately waved his hand.
"Let’s do as Su Mu General Star said."
Zhou Gu spoke, deciding the matter. As Foodie entered the battlefield from the spectator seats, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense. Every Blood Eagle Warrior was an elite among elites.
When a thousand Blood Eagle Warriors watched the scene intently, the qi and blood waves released invisibly almost condensed the air into water.
The battle had yet to begin.
The atmosphere was enough to make one’s breath quicken and blood boil.
Zhou Haiqing and the nine others leaped onto their respective Blood Eagle companions’ backs. The ten of them activated their qi and blood, which then merged with one another, and the warriors’ and Blood Eagles’ qi and blood began to blend.
At this moment, the qi and blood, resembling smoke signals, began to show signs of becoming a qi and blood furnace—the sign of a Martial Arts Grandmaster!
The qi and blood thrummed on the battlefield. For ordinary people, not to mention watching, even approaching this area would risk being blown away by the residual qi and blood.
Two by two, ten formidable qi and blood waves showing signs of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, all locked onto Foodie. The rest of the Blood Eagle Warriors on the field also focused on Foodie.
In such circumstances, even if each person only unleashed a wisp of qi and blood, it was enough to form an overwhelming pressure, heavy like a mountain and raging like the Great River.
At this moment, descending from the observation platform was no easy task.
An ordinary Sixth Level Martial Artist, under such terrifying pressure, would be scared out of their wits, shaking with fear!
This was the silent expression of the Blood Eagle Warriors’ anger at Zhou Haiqing’s ten and those present.
The first trial for Foodie was to enter the field under the pressure of ten humans and ten eagles, along with the Blood Eagle Warriors on the battlefield.
This was a test for Foodie and also expressed their anger towards Su Mu.
Since you, Su Mu, said you wouldn’t take action, let’s see it through.
Feeling the pressure from everyone, Su Mu’s lips slightly curled into a smile. His calm face showed no signs of distress or intention to assist Foodie in breaking the deadlock.
Because Foodie had not sought his help.
Moreover...
If it couldn’t even pass this test, Su Mu wouldn’t feel assured leaving Foodie with Miaomiao and Xiaoyue in the future.
Besides, Su Mu was always well aware of Foodie’s potential, so he trusted it greatly.
Everyone fixed their eyes on Su Mu, anticipating how he would have Foodie break the stalemate.
The next second.
Under that enormous pressure, Foodie entered the field, holding its head high as if the pressure was nothing, walking freely straight into everyone’s Invisible Force Field.
