High Martial Arts: Starting with a Martial Saint Peak Cultivation

A shadowy figure stretches across the East China Sea.

It left a faint purple trail in the sky.

The sea receded rapidly below, and occasionally a few cargo ships or fishing boats could be seen moving slowly on the azure surface like ants.

More than an hour later.

A scattered chain of islands appeared ahead.

"Boss, we're almost there." The shadowy voice echoed in the void.

Chen Yuan stood on the broad back of the shadowy figure, gazing calmly into the distance.

Zhou Qing stood beside him and habitually frowned.

"Chief Chen, should we try negotiating with the Japanese side first?" he pondered. "After all, this is their territorial waters; if we act rashly..."

Why bother with all that effort?

Chen Yuan waved his hand, interrupting him.

Zhou Qing, still stuck in his old habits, was taken aback: "Director Chen means..."

Chen Yuan glanced at him sideways.

A faint, ambiguous smile played at the corners of his lips.

"Chief Zhou, even the diplomatic ambassador at the Chinese embassy in Xia has defected to the Dark Abyss organization. Do you think the Japanese government isn't colluding with them?"

Zhou Qing fell silent.

Chen Yuan continued, "If you try to negotiate, not only will they not help you, but they will also secretly inform the people of Dark Abyss to run away."

"If we come up empty-handed, it will be difficult to find them again."

Zhou Qing thought about it and realized that this made sense.

The relationship between Japan and Great Xia was already strained, so it's impossible that the authorities were unaware that Dark Abyss could build a military base within their territory.

It's better to take action directly than to alert the enemy.

"Chief Chen is right." Zhou Qing nodded and said no more.

Just then.

The shadowy figure began to descend.

"Boss, we've arrived!"

Chen Yuan's gaze sharpened as he looked down.

Below is an inconspicuous island, not large in area, covered with dense vegetation, looking no different from the thousands of uninhabited islands in the East China Sea.

There were no buildings, no docks, and no trace of human intervention.

If Yamamoto Ichiro hadn't revealed it himself, no one would have suspected that something was hidden beneath this island.

Chen Yuan closed his eyes.

The divine sense spread out silently.

Every blade of grass, every rock, and every inch of land on the entire island was vividly perceived by him.

He soon sensed that there was a man-made military base about two hundred meters underground on the island.

The base is quite large, with crisscrossing passages and a full range of facilities.

Two auras stood out prominently at the deepest part of the base.

A violent and chilling aura, carrying the oppressive feeling unique to alien races.

Ninth-order early stage

The other was calm and reserved, exuding the aura of a human martial artist.

The initial stage of Martial Saint.

Chen Yuan opened his eyes, a faint golden light flashing deep within them.

Eye of the Void, open!

The outline of the underground base became transparent in his eyes, and the owners of the two auras were clearly visible.

A humanoid alien race covered in dark purple scales, with a slender body and sharp bone spurs extending from the joints of its limbs. Its narrow, vertical pupils emitted a ghostly green light.

The other was a woman wearing ninth-tier armor, with a beautiful face and a katana hanging at her waist.

The Martial Saint of Japan.

"Found it." Chen Yuan's voice was calm, but his eyes were cold.

"There is a military base below, housing one ninth-tier alien race member and one martial saint from Japan."

He turned to look at Zhou Qing, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"As expected, the Japanese government is colluding with the Dark Abyss."

......

at the same time.

Underground base on the island.

In the monitoring room, an observer dressed in a Dark Abyss uniform was looking at the screen with a bored expression.

suddenly!

His eyes widened!

on the screen.

A massive purple beast hovered above the island.

More than a dozen figures were clearly visible on the back of the giant beast.

The observer, looking at the images and the displayed information, suddenly stood up from his chair, his pupils contracting sharply.

That's... a ninth-tier beast?!

The mount of Chen Yuan, the Holy Venerable of the Great Xia Kingdom!

Those people on their backs...

His fingers trembled as he reached for the communication button, his heart pounding.

They've been exposed! They've been exposed!

How did the people of Great Xia find this place?!

Just as his finger was about to touch the button.

"boom!!!"

The entire island shook violently!

The lights in the monitoring room exploded, cracks appeared in the walls, and the observer was knocked to the ground by the shock.

The image on the screen shook violently, then turned into static.

......

Above the island.

Chen Yuan withdrew his fist and said to Zhou Qing, "Leave the rest to me."

Then he turned to look at the Holy Dragon Guards behind him.

His gaze was sharp.

"Tear this place down and get all the ants out of here."

"yes!"

Chen Tianling clasped his hands in a fist salute.

With a wave of his hand, eleven figures leaped out from the back of the shadowy figure, like sharp swords piercing into various parts of the island!

Chen Yuan also flashed and appeared a hundred meters above the island.

Looking down at the seemingly peaceful island below, he slowly raised his fist.

Starting stance.

The Sacred Ruins Suppressing World Fist!

The fist landed.

"boom!!!"

The world changed color!

A terrifying beam of light erupted from Chen Yuan's fist and slammed into the center of the island!

The entire island looked as if it had been struck by a giant hammer.

Violent trembling!

The earth cracked, rocks crumbled, and trees were uprooted!

The shockwave spread in all directions, creating giant waves tens of meters high!

One punch.

With just one punch, a huge dent was blasted into the island, which spanned several kilometers in radius.

The outer structure of the underground base collapsed under this punch!

But it's not over yet.

Chen Yuan didn't stop, punching again and again!

With each punch, the island trembled, the dent deepened, and a section of the underground base collapsed!

A full minute.

A continuous bombardment for a minute, without any pause or respite.

When Chen Yuan withdrew his fist, the island beneath his feet was completely unrecognizable!

The once lush vegetation has all disappeared, replaced by a charred ruin.

One-third of the entire island was blasted away!

A huge crater with a diameter of nearly 1,000 meters appeared in the center, and the bottom of the crater led directly to the remains of the underground base.

Seawater poured in, forming a small bay in the pit.

Gravel, debris, broken steel bars, shattered equipment... were scattered everywhere.

And those members of the Dark Abyss.

The vast majority of them were already dead when Chen Yuan's first punch landed.

The rest were killed, crushed, or buried alive in the subsequent bombardment.

Apart from the two beings at the deepest part of the entire underground base, there are no living people left.

......

"boom!"

The ruins exploded!

Two figures shot into the sky from the ground!

One was dark purple, and the other was dark red.

The ninth-tier alien race and the martial saint of Japan have finally appeared.

The alien creature was covered in dark purple scales, had long, thin limbs with sharp bone spurs extending from its joints, and its narrow, vertical pupils were filled with horror.

As soon as it appeared, it felt the overwhelming holy might, the peak of Martial Saint!

Moreover, it wasn't just any ordinary peak Martial Saint; it was a terrifying existence that made it tremble from the depths of its soul!

Its body began to tremble uncontrollably.

run!

The thought flashed wildly through its mind.

But as soon as it moved, two figures blocked its path.

Zhou Qing and Chen Tianling stood on either side, their gazes icy.

"Where do you think you're going?" Zhou Qing's voice was devoid of any emotion.

The alien's vertical pupils contracted violently, its scales stood on end, and it let out a low hissing growl.

On the other side...

The woman in dark red armor hovered in mid-air, the armor's form-fitting design outlining her shapely figure, her face extremely pale.

The scabbard of the katana hanging at his waist was engraved with exquisite patterns.

Her name is Sakurai Miwa, one of only six martial saints in Japan, responsible for guarding the defense line in the East China Sea.

Her face was ashen, her eyes filled with resentment and disbelief.

They did it so discreetly.

The Dark Abyss's base is built on an uninhabited island, and all supplies are transported through underwater tunnels. External communication uses encrypted communication with multiple layers of redirection.

For three years, there has never been a single mistake.

Why would the people of Great Xia find this place?!

She took a deep breath to suppress her shock and forced herself to speak calmly.

"Director Zhou, Director Chen... what do you mean by this?"

She speaks Bactrian very fluently.

But there was a slight, almost imperceptible tremor in his voice.

"They recklessly trespassed into the territorial waters of Japan, attacked Japan's military facilities, and killed Japan's people..."

"Does your Great Xia Kingdom intend to start a war with our Eastern Ying Kingdom?"

Zhou Qing looked at her coldly, his eyes devoid of any warmth.

"Humans colluding with other races."

"Sakurai Miwa, how dare your Japanese nation utter the word 'war'?"

Sakurai Miwa's expression changed.

But he quickly reverted to his righteous and indignant demeanor.

"Chief Zhou, don't make false accusations!"

She pointed at the trembling alien creature, her voice rising several decibels.

"We are not colluding with the alien race! We are conducting experiments here! Researching how to control and utilize the alien race's power!"

"It was you! It was your surprise attack that broke the seal! Now that the alien race has escaped, you're turning around and blaming us!"

She spoke with righteous indignation.

It's as if I really am a victim.

The ninth-tier alien hovered not far behind her, a strange light flashing in its vertical pupils, but it did not expose her.

It knew that its only chance of survival was to hold on; if it fell into the hands of the Martial Saint of the Great Xia Kingdom, it would surely be doomed!

Zhou Qing was so angry at this distorted and untrue statement that he laughed.

"Conducting experiments? Conducting experiments on ninth-tier alien races in your own country's military base?"

"Sakurai Miwa, do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

Sakurai Miwa's face stiffened, but she remained stubbornly defiant.

Believe it or not! I'm telling the truth!

Chen Yuan remained silent.

He hovered in mid-air with his arms crossed, watching this scene with a half-smile.

The Eye of Void had quietly opened at some point.

He looked towards the eastern horizon.

Four auras were rapidly approaching.

They are all at the Martial Saint level.

Two are at the early stage of Martial Saint, one is at the middle stage of Martial Saint, and one is at the late stage of Martial Saint.

The reinforcements from Japan.

Besides the martial saint from Japan, there is also a martial saint from America who is stationed in Japan!

It is common knowledge worldwide that the Kingdom of Amelica has stationed troops in Japan for many years, and has even dispatched a late-stage Martial Saint to oversee the situation.

A meaningful smile appeared on Chen Yuan's lips.

No wonder this woman is being so unreasonable; she's just stalling for time.

However... this suits him perfectly.

He withdrew his gaze, glanced at the still trembling ninth-tier alien, then at Sakurai Miwa who was trying to maintain her composure, and his smile deepened.

Let's drag it out.

Once your reinforcements arrive, we can slaughter them all in one go.
