31: Chapter 31 Targeted by an Enemy Nation? A Peerless Genius!

"Martial God?" Upon hearing these two words, Zhang Ruxue felt a jolt of shock.

One must understand that this kind of humanoid strategic weapon basically belongs to the characters in textbooks for ordinary people.

Most people have never even seen one in their entire lives!

Yet they often appear in textbooks, where lines of text record all their glorious deeds.

"General, why would a Martial God appear here?"

According to Zhang Ruxue's understanding, based on the treaty jointly signed by the three great nations, unless it is a major event that shakes the foundation of the nation, the Martial God would never step forward.

After all, in that great war in the Northern Territory where the three great nations used nuclear weapons, the Martial God did not appear!

General Qin Fei smiled slightly: "That is why I say these new recruits are lucky. This Martial God is the retired marshal who provided us with the boundless grade divine weapon as a prize. If it weren't for his sudden whim to come and take a look at the battlefield, he would never have shown himself. He hasn't left his residence in nearly thirty years."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruxue instantly gasped. She naturally knew what that boundless grade divine weapon was, and therefore, she also knew who the owner of that boundless grade divine weapon was.

"If it is that person, then Li Mo and the others are saved!"

...

At this moment, the trio of Li Mo were still running for their lives. It was not until they confirmed that there seemed to be no signs of any enemies around that they finally slowed down and found a cave to hide in.

They currently needed to run, yet they dared not run too recklessly.

Now, the entire Desolate Valley Mountains could have assassins from the Black Death Group, so they could be discovered anywhere.

The best approach was just to find a place to hide and then wait for The Military to rescue them!

Looking for a way out was equivalent to seeking their own death.

Xu Feng was panting heavily and cursed: "Damn it! What bad luck! We are just a group of new recruits, and we actually need the elites of the Black Death Group to serve us!"

Li Mo sat down slowly and then sighed: "Sigh! This is likely a massacre that was premeditated! The timing of the enemy's appearance is too clever; the early morning hours are exactly when we are at our most relaxed."

One must know that these Desolate Valley Mountains are considered a border area of Great Xia, and in reality, they are usually controlled by Great Xia.

Otherwise, The Military would not have buried a cultivation technique like the Xuanwu True Art within the Desolate Valley Mountains.

Even so, the elite martial artists of the enemy nation dared to penetrate this deep, which shows how long this has been premeditated.

Li Mo even felt that the intelligence was betrayed just after The Military had finalized the content of the new recruit trial; otherwise, the enemy would not have been so well-prepared.

Whoever could do such a thing must be one of the higher-ups.

But thinking about this now was useless; the most important thing for them was to save their lives.

However, just when the three of them had just relaxed, a voice abruptly appeared beside them.

"It seems my luck is good! Are you that Great Xia new recruit who reached the Foundation Establishment Realm in one month?"

Upon hearing this, the trio of Li Mo immediately looked stern, and then turned their heads to look.

Without knowing when, that masked assassin from the Black Death Group had actually appeared here.

A powerful pressure instantly enveloped the three of them, pressing them down so they could not move.

A Liangyi Realm martial artist, and one who had killed countless people at that, was simply a dimensionality reduction strike for these three new recruits like Li Mo.

Li Mo understood that they had no retreat, and they were almost certainly going to die!

Seemingly knowing that the three pieces of prey before him could not escape at all, the assassin from the Black Death Group began to size up the three of them, and even pointed his finger at Li Mo.

"Your potential is very good, especially yours! It would be a pity to kill you! How about I give you a chance to survive?"

"As long as you are willing to defect to my Black Earth Tribe, come back with me now! I guarantee you will receive the exact same treatment as in Great Xia! Or even better!"

Calling it defecting was actually brainwashing.

Li Mo had once heard that the Black Earth Tribe had once conducted a special research project with the Baiou Empire, and the result of this special research was brainwashing enemy martial artists to turn them into their own assets.

And from the surface, the brainwashed martial artists were no different from normal.

This research could be described as anti-human, and once they fully succeeded, Great Xia would be in extreme danger.

Fortunately, when the research reached its final stages, the two nations had internal strife, and in the end, the research results were split in two, with each side taking half.

But even half of the research results were enough to completely brainwash Li Mo and the others into killing machines for the Black Earth Tribe.

First, Li Mo was not that stupid.

Second, after joining The Military, Li Mo had already prepared himself to die.

The most noble way for a soldier to die is to die on the battlefield.

The most humiliating way to die is to surrender to the enemy invaders!

Thinking of this, Li Mo's heart actually calmed down, and then, facing this bloodthirsty Liangyi Realm martial artist, he actually brandished his long spear.

"A soldier of my Great Xia would rather die standing than live kneeling!"

"Make your move!"

After Li Mo finished speaking, both Zheng Jiahao and Xu Feng's eyes became incredibly resolute.

Unlike those new recruit squads that almost knelt down to beg for mercy, these three people were the most spirited ones this assassin had ever seen.

The pressure of the Liangyi Realm actually had no effect on the three of them.

They were even attempting to resist him!

The more this was the case, the more the assassin felt fear. Wasn't the purpose of them penetrating deep into Great Xia to nip such seeds in the bud?

The assassin hesitated no longer and prepared to directly cut their throats.

However, suddenly, the assassin felt an overwhelming momentum attack his entire body. Before he could even react to resist, he was pressed down by this momentum until he knelt on the ground, kneeling before these three new recruits in front of him!

"How can this be? What is this?"

The assassin revealed a terrified expression. The reason he was so afraid was that the force pressing him to his knees was not pressure (aura), but pure momentum (presence)!

Pressure refers to the release of spiritual energy, using the advantage of realm to crush the enemy.

But momentum is different; it is a purely mental influence, not involving any cultivation. To suppress a Liangyi Realm martial artist purely by momentum, one must at least be in the Heaven and Earth Realm, which spans three realms!

But the source of the momentum this assassin felt was at least dozens of miles away. With such strong power, wouldn't that mean...

"A bunch of filthy scoundrels, entering my Great Xia border to kill my Great Xia citizens, do you really think Great Xia has no one left?"

This voice was incredibly loud and had extremely strong penetrating power. It brought destruction to the enemy, but it made Li Mo and the others feel inexplicably at ease.

In the next moment, the assassin before the trio of Li Mo had not even had time to make any defensive moves before his entire body exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

Li Mo hurriedly ran out to take a look, only to discover that at some point, a person had appeared in mid-air, floating in the sky like a god, and even more like the sun. Just a little bit of released power illuminated the entire mountain range!

After seeing the face of the person who arrived clearly, Li Mo was even more shocked.

Because Li Mo had seen this person's appearance and name countless times in textbooks.

He was the first marshal since the Great Xia New Calendar.

A living fossil who had lived for over three hundred years.

A peerless powerhouse who had been invincible for a century.

Marshal Yue Wuyun, the old General Yue!
