Chapter 152: Chapter 138: Demonic Siege_1
That’s right, Lu Yan planned to move elsewhere.
He feared in his heart that Zhao Yi might play some dirty tricks, and while he didn’t fear for himself, he was worried that Tofu’s family might get dragged into it.
"Uncle Lu, are you leaving so soon? Tofu will miss you. Can you teach me martial arts? Or cooking would be fine too. I’ve heard that some Master Martial Artists are very good at cooking, able to prepare Martial Foods that are incredibly delicious."
Tofu clung to Lu Yan’s sleeve, reluctant to let him go.
"Tofu, don’t be rude. Uncle Lu is a man of great deeds. It is impossible for him to stay here all the time."
Tofu’s mother chided.
"Are you interested in Martial Food?"
An idea struck Lu Yan’s mind.
Tofu was talented and bright. If she was interested in Martial Food, it wouldn’t be impossible to bring her back to Baicao City for training.
He initially planned to train his own group of Martial Chefs anyway.
Hmm...
Tofu nodded her head enthusiastically, just like a chick pecking on grains.
"Uncle Lu will stay in Lingwang City for a while longer. I’ll come to see you before I leave. You should think it over carefully. If you still hold onto your current thoughts by then, Uncle Lu will teach you Martial Arts and the method of preparing Martial Food. But your family will have to leave Lingwang City."
Lu Yan patted Tofu’s little head, gave a gentle smile, and turned to leave.
Zhou Xiang’s injuries were no longer serious. Lu Yan had already bought him some deer bone soup and as long as Zhou Xiang took it on time, he would recover quickly.
After leaving Tofu’s house, Lu Yan moved into a civilian house in East City. He paid a high price for the family to temporarily move to their relatives’ house.
Meanwhile, whenever he went out, Lu Yan would use the Shape-Shifting Technique to change his appearance. He only showed his true face as Lu Ren when meeting Zhao Sirong.
It’s better to be cautious. Who knows what kind of tricks the other side might use.
After going out to buy dozens of pounds of second-grade Martial Food, he returned to cultivate.
Lu Yan didn’t use it to increase his Bone Strength.
He had just broken into Martial Marquis Level Three not long ago and it wouldn’t be easy to advance to the next level, Martial Marquis Level Four, in a short time. Therefore, he used all the energy from the Martial Food for improving his Cloud Walk.
As long as he could enhance his Cloud Walk to the state of Unity of Man and Martial Arts, his strength could experience another leap in a short period of time.
His ability to protect himself would greatly improve, in particular.
After consuming twenty pounds of second-grade Martial Food a day, his Cloud Walk was improving impressively.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and his Cloud Walk had reached 70% perfection.
Boom, boom, boom...
One evening, while Lu Yan was cultivating, he suddenly heard an earth-shaking drum sound.
The sound of a War Drum.
The monsters were attacking.
Lu Yan was not scared but rather excited.
After several months in Lingwang City, the monsters finally attacked.
The opportunity to earn merit had come.
Lu Yan carried his Red Blood Blade, which was painted black, and set out.
"The sound of the war drum is coming from the north."
Lu Yan quickly headed towards Bei City.
At this moment, numerous figures burst out from the buildings all around Lingwang City and rushed towards Bei City.
They merged into a massive crowd.
Some figures moved extremely fast, like the wind.
These were individuals of the Martial Marquis Level.
At present, Lingwang City was filled with experts.
The two Grandmaster Level clans, the Tu and Zhao Clans, had both relocated to Lingwang City.
Judging from the Zhao Clan alone, it possessed more than a hundred individuals at Martial Marquis Level.
Additionally, over ten other Grandmaster Level clans, alongside hundreds of Martial Marquis Level clans, were acting as support. At the moment, there were more than four hundred Martial Marquis in Lingwang City.
Upon Lu Yan’s arrival at the North City Wall, he found that the wall was already full of Zhao Clan soldiers in heavy armor, armed with bows and crossbows, ready for battle.
Roar!
From the northern night, a roar that seemed to shake the earth, as though it aimed to tear the night apart, rang out.
"It’s the Monster King."
Someone whispered, their face grave.
Lu Yan had excellent eyesight, and even in the dark and at great distance, he faintly saw a huge beast standing on the land in the north.
The beast was tiger-like but wore scaled armor, height around five meters and length more than ten. It looked like a ferocious prehistoric creature, staring at Lingwang City.
Despite the distance, Lu Yan felt a great pressure with a single glance.
Is this the Monster King?
The terrifying being that had fought against the five Grandmasters of the Human Clan, killing one and grievously injuring the rest, forcing them to flee in disarray.
The Monster King didn’t attack but instead stood in place, raising its head and letting out a long howl.
Accompanied by the howl of the Monster King, phantom-like figures rushed towards Lingwang City at a horrifying speed.
These figures took various forms, but most resembled ferocious beasts such as tigers, leopards, wolves, wild boars, and so on.
But they all had one thing in common: they were abnormally large, far surpassing their wild counterparts. Their bodies were shrouded in gray fog and their eyes were blood-red, filled with blood-lust.
Monsters!
These were all monsters.
At a glance, there were no less than a thousand, and behind, more and more were running towards Lingwang City, seemingly endless.
Boom, boom, boom...
At this moment, the sound of war drums also rang out from the east and west.
"Some monsters have bypassed the mountain and are attacking from the east and west. Send some men to defend there."
"Go defend the east and west."
A voice like thunder reverberated over the city wall, reaching everyone’s ears.
Many Martial Artists and Martial Marquis ran towards the east and west.
Lu Yan thought for a moment and headed east as well.
There were too many people on the North City Wall. When the time came, he wouldn’t be able to move freely to hunt the monsters.
Soon, Lu Yan arrived on East City Wall.
By the time Lu Yan got to the East City Wall, the battle had already begun.
Thud, thud, thud.
The sound of bowstrings was ringing continuously, and a dark rain of arrows shot towards the outskirts of the city wall. Some of the weaker monsters fell as they were hit by arrows.
