Chapter 170: Chapter 151 The Hidden Danger_1
The giant bear monster roared, its pitch-black fur standing on its end, as an intense grey mist emerged on the surface of its body, exactly like a grey flame burning.
Swish!
It suddenly slapped out, so rapidly that even Lu Yan almost didn’t catch it.
The wielder of the long spear didn’t react in time and got slapped right away.
With a thud, he was like a watermelon being hit by a high-speed plane, vanishing into a mist of blood and bone.
Whiz!
The long spear lodged in the giant bear monster flew back, penetrating another expert and blasting him into two parts.
The bear monster itself, after slapping the spear-wielder dead, charged and hard-nosedly sent another expert flying a hundred meters, with blood gushing out of his mouth, severely wounded.
Then, with a swipe of its massive claw, it gripped a robust man.
The strapping man turned pale with terror, madly exerting his Bone-strength, but to no avail.
The giant bear monster gripped tightly, crunching him like an egg in its hand, turning the muscled man into a pulp, with a splat.
In an instant, three were dead, one severely injured.
These were among the top experts from the Martial Marquis, albeit not on the Martial Marquis List, they wouldn’t be too far off.
But now, they were slain as if easily sliced vegetables.
The courage of the others waned, none daring to attack, all hastily retreating.
Thud!
The giant bear monster appeared to be in its prime, swift as lightning, leapt near Gao Wanping, slapping out, the slaps brought powerful currents of air, blowing the leaves on the ground into disarray.
Gao Wanping’s pupils constricted sharply, feeling the fatal crisis, he unleashed all his power without reservation, then swung his long-handled hammer with all his might.
The next moment, the hammer met the bear’s paw, causing an intense boom, the tremendous force threw Gao Wanping backwards a hundred meters, breaking two large trees in succession.
Gao Wanping spat out two mouthfuls of blood, threw down his hammer, and immediately took flight.
"Damn, we were fooled by this monster, its combat power isn’t impaired, it’s in its prime."
"Its complete Master Level combat power isn’t something we can fight against, get out."
The remaining experts were petrified, none dared to stop, and they fled in every direction.
Roar!
The giant bear monster roared, pursued an expert with strides hundreds of meters long, and squashed him into a pulp with repetitive strikes of its paws.
The others grew more terrified and pushed their speeds to the limit.
The bear monster, after killing one person, leaped in pursuit of the redhead.
It picked up a large rock during its pursuit and threw it at the redhead.
The whistling rock, like a meteorite, brought dread with it.
The redhead didn’t dare to resist, somersaulting to dodge the rock, the bear monster caught up and ambushed with consecutive slaps.
The redhead man was powerful, not much weaker than Gao Wanping, but he couldn’t defend himself, just one move had him coughing up blood and retreating, another left his bones fractured, breaking two large trees.
Splat!
The third move, the giant bear stomped and crushed the redhead man to death.
The others finally seized the chance to escape far away, disappearing into the forest.
Lu Yan was hidden within a large tree, motionless, like a withered trunk, but his forehead was dripping with cold sweat.
This is the combat power of a monster of the Master Level, too horrifying, much stronger than a Martial Marquis.
Even the powerful redhead man and Gao Wanping-like existences, in front of it, didn’t have any power to return blows.
You should know that an expert like Gao Wanping, with all-out attacks, can instantly kill ordinary beings on his level.
The gap between the Martial Marquis and the Grand Master exceeded his expectations.
He didn’t dare move for fear of attracting the giant bear monster’s attention.
After killing the redhead man, the bear monster growled a few times, but didn’t continue its pursuit. Instead, it stumbled a few more steps north, the grey mist quickly condensing and fading on its body, and its shiny black fur was losing its sheen.
With a thud, the giant bear monster fell to the ground, motionless.
Lu Yan was also motionless.
This giant bear monster is too cunning, pretending to be dead so often, it would be strange if it fooled him.
One incense stick, two incense sticks...
The giant bear monster was still motionless.
"Could it be that the giant bear monster’s might just now was the final radiance of a setting sun, burning the remaining power, and now it’s truly dead?"
Lu Yan pondered secretly.
But his thoughts aside, he can’t take the risk, this creature is too cunning.
Suddenly, Lu Yan’s gaze flickered.
He saw two people approaching quietly from separate directions.
One of them was Gao Wanping.
And the other was a bald old man.
Both were present in the battlefield just now, but now they have returned.
Clearly, both of them probably also guessed that the giant bear monster was in its final radiance, but all bluff and no stuffing left, its power would quickly run out.
But both of them remained careful, not taking any action, hiding separately in large trees, had Lu Yan not had exceptional eyesight, they would not have been easily spotted.
Some time passed.
The giant bear monster was still motionless.
The bald old man eventually was the first to show impatience, he jumped down the tree, quietly nearing the bear monster.
He was very careful, held his knife in both hands, stopping every few steps to observe, checking on the bear monster’s status.
But the giant bear monster was motionless throughout.
When the bald man was a dozen meters away from the monster, he thrust both hands forward, and the war knife sailed out, slashing the half of the bear monster’s head.
The giant bear demon remained motionless.
The elderly man mustered his courage and moved forward, gripping the handle of his blade. He poised to tear open the demon bear’s body and retrieve the Demon Evils Crystal.
But at that moment, the bear demon rose abruptly, its monstrous paw swept out, capturing the elderly man in its grip.
Lu Yan’s heart pounded within the hidden darkness.
This sly older man was indeed not dead, simply pretending.
The bear demon’s eyes were terrifyingly vicious, applying pressure attempting to crush the elderly man within its grasp.
But this time, it did not succeed.
"Ah, go to hell."
The elderly man roared, his bone strength erupted crazily, while his War Knife swung forward, severely striking the bear demon’s chest wound.
The bear demon let out a shriek, and its other paw tried to grip the elderly man.
As both paws squeezed and kneaded, the elderly man finally broke, his body bursting open with an explosive sound.
However, it was evident that killing the elderly man did not come easy to the bear demon. It struggled much more than before.
After killing the elderly man, the bear demon gasped for breath, struggling to get up, but after a few attempts, it collapsed to the ground, motionless.
"Again?"
Lu Yan decided not to step out, remaining silent.
After waiting a while longer, the bear demon remained still. It truly resembled a corpse, devoid of any signs of life.
Gao Wanping started to move.
He leaped from the tree, headed over to the other side, picked up his long-handled hammer, and quietly approached the bear demon. When they were only dozens of meters apart, he leaped high and swung his hammer down from above.
The long-handled hammer spun towards the bear demon, emanating a terrifying rumble.
With that, the hammer struck the bear demon’s half-crushed head, turning it into a gory pulp.
Even so, the bear demon remained motionless.
It seemed as if it was truly dead.
However, Gao Wanping remained cautious, approaching slowly in a defensive posture.
Even after Gao Wanping retrieved his hammer, the bear demon remained still.
Gao Wanping swung his hammer at the bear demon again, causing it to roll over and exposing its chest cavity and the bloody hole in it.
The flesh and blood were a mess, piercing right through its heart.
Gao Wanping showed a determined look, he stepped forward, plunging his left hand straight into the bear demon’s chest wound.
But at that moment, the bear demon stirred again, twisting its body, sweeping its paw towards Gao Wanping.
It’s still alive?
Lu Yan was rendered speechless.
At the critical moment, Gao Wanping blocked with his long-handled hammer.
With a collision sound, his body was sent flying a hundred meters. His face was pale, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
However, a smile spread across his face.
Because in his left hand, he held a Demon Evils Crystal, the size of a child’s fist.
This time, after a few spasms, the bear demon fell silent.
It seemed that the bear demon had indeed reached its limit, the brink of death. The previous outbreak was its final burst of energy, so the Demon Evils Crystal ended up in Gao Wanping’s hand.
However, the bear demon’s final strike had struck a heavy blow to Gao Wanping.
Gao Wanping vomited another mouthful of blood, chewed down a Dried Martial Food, stored the Demon Evils Crystal in his bosom, and headed towards Lingwang City.
Lu Yan followed in secret.
When they reached a desolate place, Lu Yan picked up speed.
"Who’s there?"
Gao Wanping’s cold voice echoed, bone strength surging, as he turned his gaze around.
The sound of stepping on branches alerted Gao Wanping.
This was within Lu Yan’s expectations, he sprinted at full speed, leaping towards Gao Wanping, and releasing a slash.
Gao Wanping swung his hammer towards Lu Yan. There was a collision, and their bone strength exploded between their weapons.
Thankfully, both of their weapons were of divine quality. Ordinary weapons would have shattered to pieces under such a violent collision of bone strength.
Lu Yan slightly staggered but quickly regained his footing, while Gao Wanping was thrust backward more than a dozen meters, with blood seeping from his lips.
"It’s you."
Gao Wanping stared at Lu Yan, a hint of dread flickered in his deep eyes.
"It’s me, we really have quite the destiny."
Lu Yan said, and as he did, he got to Gao Wanping’s left side, kicked off the ground, his body shooting forward like an arrow, delivering another slash.
Gao Wanping hurriedly swung his hammer in a sweeping motion, covering a vast area within the range of his attack.
But with a somersault, Lu Yan easily evaded the strike, his blade came slashing towards Gao Wanping’s head.
Gao Wanping deflected the attack with his metal wrist guard given the close proximity didn’t allow him to block with his hammer.
With a clang, Gao Wanping was forced backward, tottering.
He had been hit twice consecutively by the bear demon and was heavily injured. In a direct confrontation, he was no match for Lu Yan.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...
Having come this close, Lu Yan wouldn’t give the opponent any chance. The Red Blood Blade continuously aimed at his vital spots.
The heart, neck, eyes...
He was swift to the extreme, and his movements were both quick and unpredictable.
Gao Wanping’s prided strength was suppressed by Lu Yan and his combat techniques were leagues behind Lu Yan’s.
Splash!
Gao Wanping’s chest was cut open by the Red Blood Blade, creating a foot-long wound. His bloody flesh was a gory mess soaking his clothes.
