High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 64: Intimidating Three Level-5 Martial Artists, Decisively Beheading Lu Lin

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Intimidating Three Level-5 Martial Artists, Decisively Beheading Lu Lin
A Fourth Level Martial Artist demanding an explanation from three Fifth Level Martial Artists—how ridiculous. No one would believe it even if it were spoken of.
But now, it’s really happening...
Even the three Fifth Level Martial Artists were intimidated by Su Mu alone.
"I can cooperate with you, but you shouldn’t have leaked information about my family."
"Now give me an explanation, or else... die!"
Spitting out the last word, Su Mu exuded murderous intent, his whole being like a beast on the brink of a rampage.
Hong Yi felt a mix of shock and admiration; number ten, whom he previously underestimated, showed such audacity. However, since he didn’t know the full details, he wisely chose not to take sides and silently stepped aside, putting his gun away.
The Liu Family siblings were stunned and then secretly pleased, thinking that if Su Mu did something outrageous, it might create an opportunity for them.
"Number ten, calm down."
"Get lost!"
The Liu Family siblings looked extremely displeased, not expecting Su Mu to be so ruthless, but recalling the terrifying strike Su Mu had just delivered, they were filled with apprehension and dared not say more.
"Explanation? What explanation do you want, number ten candidate, Su Mu? Do you know what you’re doing?"
With all the Demon Cultists dead, and those knowing the secret dealt with, Lu Lin felt the situation was under his control. Hearing Su Mu demand an explanation, he tried to suppress him with authority, but he picked the wrong target this time.
Su Mu glanced at Luo Cheng and Gong Wu before looking past the Liu Family siblings to focus on Lu Lin, who had jumped in voluntarily.
People are often most complacent when they believe they’ve got everything under control.
Su Mu noticed a trace of self-satisfaction on Lu Lin’s face, a smug complacency, which seemed very suspicious.
"City Lord Lu, are you threatening me?"
"I’m warning you. It’s undeniable that you performed outstandingly in this assessment, but your current bad behavior is also a fact, showing significant problems with your overall view and stance."
"Why are you so anxious? Are you the Demon Cultist spy? The mastermind behind these incidents?"
The words were earth-shattering, causing Lu Lin to tremble all over, completely unprepared for Su Mu to make such a declaration without evidence.
Su Mu keenly detected the change in Lu Lin’s expression, continuing to attack his psychological defenses.
"Today’s plan was known only to the four of us, and now someone impersonating me from the Martial Arts Association is at the abandoned factory, while the public is Jiang Mu."
"City Lord Lu, may I ask, how can you be so sure that the Demon Cultists are still lying dormant in the Fierce Beast Mountain Range after initially missing them, and how do you explain my family’s photos appearing in the hands of these lunatics?"
"How do you explain why these lunatics could accurately call out my name upon first meeting?"
"Yesterday, our actions were repeatedly frustrated; you led the strongest forces to circle the Fierce Beast Mountain Range deliberately, only to miss..."
"The enemy was waiting for us at the abandoned factory, and the same was true at the dock. They seemed to know our actions inside out. Who provided them with this information?"
"An unexpected incident occurred, so you had someone create chaos at the City Lord’s Mansion to facilitate the Demon Cultists’ escape."
"Director Ding Yu was responsible for receiving me that day; he respectfully referred to you as ’the City Lord,’ yet this person who respected you incited an explosion at the City Lord’s Mansion, specifically destroying your office, backfiring to absolve your suspicion."
"City Lord Lu Lin, you colluded with the Demon Cultists to kill Vice City Lord Chang... and then used us to wipe out the Demon Cultists who knew your secret."
"What exactly are you trying to hide?"
"What is your motive?"
"What are you afraid of?"
Su Mu spoke word by word, stepping forward with each sentence, carefully observing the expressions of Lu Lin, Luo Cheng, and Gong Wu.
In fact, Su Mu wasn’t sure it was Lu Lin; it could be any of the other two. However, Lu Lin was too suspicious at the moment, so he pinned all his thoughts on Lu Lin.
If it wasn’t this person’s doing, the reaction would naturally be confusion, anger, or even laughter. The real perpetrator would undoubtedly reveal a flaw.
But as the three questions dropped, Lu Lin’s face completely changed—not to anger but to barely contained panic.
Everyone present who noticed this couldn’t help but change their expressions; the flaw was too obvious.
Hong Yi and the Liu Family siblings looked thoughtfully at Lu Lin, recalling Lu Lin’s peculiar actions the night before. Lu Lin was convinced the Demon Cultists’ hideout was in the mountains, yet killed two living captives in one strike.
Liu Ying recalled another detail: the two Demon Cultists who died didn’t show terror at the end but disbelief, whispering softly.
"So that’s it; that day was to silence witnesses."
Luo Cheng couldn’t completely confirm it at the moment, but what Su Mu said was not without reason. Lu Lin, who usually seemed calm and collected, now appeared very abnormal.
As for Gong Wu, his pupils contracted sharply; he hadn’t understood why Ding Yu acted as he did earlier, but Su Mu now provided a reasonable explanation.
He noticed several candidates’ gazes on the fat man who died; looking down the line of sight, the fat man’s dying expression was peculiar—not despair, but anger and hatred, as if seeing a traitor, and the one who killed him was precisely Lu Lin!
Lu Lin was even the first to recover from the shock after Su Mu’s slash killed Scarface, for his attention was consistently focused on the still-alive fat man.
Inspired by this, City Lord Lu’s personnel arrangement this time actually carries deep meaning, deliberately allowing Su Mu to appear upfront, with the purpose of provoking these two individuals. Clearly, City Lord Lu has a thorough understanding of these Demon Cultists.
Right now, all suspicious points are leading to one person, Linjiang Base City Lord Lu Lin.
Lu Lin observed everyone’s reactions, realizing the situation was slipping completely out of control, he knew he had to do something.
"Nonsense, utter nonsense, you have no evidence, that’s right, you can’t provide any proof, you’re just spouting lies."
"I, Lu Lin, am the City Lord of Linjiang Base, appointed by the Governor of South China, you have no authority to judge me!"
But Lu Lin could no longer stay calm, his panic made him lose logic, his arguments were weak and powerless, and he finally resorted to mentioning the Governor of South China.
But this was a foolish move.
In an instant, everyone looked incredulous, seeing that this City Lord Lu was genuinely panicked, almost as if admitting guilt right in front of them.
Su Mu’s claims are very likely all true...
Faced with the clamoring, Su Mu raised an eyebrow, family was his reverse scale, and at this moment, Su Mu had only one thought.
Kill.
Kill the person in front of him.
"Su Mu, calm yourself, even if this is truly Lu Lin’s doing... In any case, leave this matter to Luo Cheng and me to handle, we will give you a satisfactory answer..."
Luo Cheng and Gong Wu braced themselves as they stood in front of Lu Lin, they couldn’t let Su Mu directly kill Lu Lin, because even if it was proven later that Lu Lin was truly the Demon Cultist as Su Mu claimed.
Su Mu would not fare well, and neither would they be able to absolve themselves from blame.
"Get out of the way!"
"Enough, let me handle this matter."
A voice that exuded authority without anger reached everyone’s ears, as a figure swiftly approached from afar, a tremendous pressure enveloped the scene, and everyone felt their bodies grow heavy and sluggish.
"Grandmaster’s pressure, this is a Grandmaster-level martial artist!"
"Chairman Li, you are finally here." Luo Cheng and Gong Wu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and went to greet him.
The newcomer was none other than Li Yue, Chairman of the Shenjiang City Martial Arts Association Headquarters, a Seventh Level Martial Arts Grandmaster. Su Mu had previously crossed paths with him on the Alien Race Battlefield.
Seeing Li Yue arrive, Lu Lin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Su Mu with disdain, "Chairman Li..."
The voice abruptly stopped as Li Yue raised his hand, but it was still too late.
"No, you can’t kill me..."
The blade expanded infinitely in Lu Lin’s pupils.
Thud!
A shrill scream came from Lu Lin’s mouth as a line of blood soared, and amidst the blood spray, Lu Lin’s head, still with an incredulous expression, separated from his body, dying with disbelief.
He couldn’t believe someone was so brazen to murder right in front of a Grandmaster!
The one who wielded the blade was naturally Su Mu.
"What, didn’t you hear me?"
Li Yue’s face was full of anger, he snorted coldly, and the massive Grandmaster pressure was suddenly released, Su Mu immediately felt the air around him solidify, a suffocating sensation hit him.
Instantly, he felt an intense, unseen force grip his throat.
This power was something he had felt from his teacher, it was spiritual power, yet somewhat different.
Crunch!
At the brink of life and death, Su Mu bit his tongue and ignited all the condensed blood in his heart, a thin membrane of Qi and blood flowed over his body, and the remaining blade qi in the blade was simultaneously unleashed.
The sword momentum shattered the pressure, allowing him to escape the Grandmaster’s pressure for just a moment, but only for a moment.
Gasp!
Everything that happened in the blink of an eye left everyone bewildered.
No one dared to believe that Su Mu was so audacious, to actually kill Lu Lin in front of a Grandmaster, and even after the Grandmaster made a move, he still thought of resisting.
This was a blatant slap to Li Yue’s face, and everyone couldn’t help but worry for Su Mu.
"Chairman Li, Su Mu he..." Gong Wu quickly spoke up, but was silenced by a look from Li Yue.
"Qi Blood Emission, Sword Momentum... considering you are Elder Wang’s disciple and also a member of our Martial Arts Association, I will let you off this time. If you dare to offend again, don’t blame me for disregarding ties." Li Yue wasn’t truly furious, and there was even a hint of favor in his eyes.
"Luo Cheng, take him into custody and return to the City Lord’s Mansion."
