Chapter 182: Chapter 160 Dao Book Reacts Again_2
This was the first time Lu Yan had ever seen such a weapon. At the start, he didn’t know how to deal with it and could only dodge using his evasive techniques.
But after about a dozen moves, Lu Yan had roughly figured out his opponent’s patterns.
Swish!
The Red Blood Blade slashed out, and with two loud clangs, Bai’s Martial Marquis was massively shocked, involuntarily retreating.
Just as Lu Yan was about to press forward and take out Bai’s Martial Marquis in one fell swoop, the old woman waved her hands continuously, and dozens of darts flew towards Lu Yan like raindrops.
There were also fine needles mixed amongst the darts.
Whether it was the darts or the fine needles, both were glistening green, clearly coated with intense poison.
Lu Yan swung his blade, setting up a Knife Screen in front of him, deflecting all the darts and fine needles.
"Sir, I will lend you a hand."
Li Wenxin came to Lu Yan’s side, holding a short spear, preparing to make his move.
Lu Yan glanced at Li Wenxin and said, "You’re still not fully purged of the intense poison in your body. Your priority should be to expel the poison. I can handle these two."
After speaking, Lu Yan stirred his Bone strength and stepped forward.
The old woman waved her hands again, and another handful of poisonous powder was scattered out.
Hidden weapons were mixed in with the poisonous powder, and there was almost no sound of breaking the air. It was also night, making them virtually silent and invisible.
This old woman’s hidden weapon skills were truly transcendent. It was difficult to dodge them, even for those with higher strength than her.
Lu Yan continued to swing his blade, the layers of Knife Screen deflected all the hidden weapons and poisonous powder.
"Let’s see how many hidden weapons and poisonous powder you have."
Lu Yan charged forward again.
The old woman quickly retreated back, standing alongside Bai’s Martial Marquis, as they continued to retreat, keeping a cautious eye on Lu Yan.
"What do we do? This man is extremely strong, his Bone strength is superior to mine, I’m afraid we won’t be a match for him, unless we... "
Bai’s Martial Marquis whispered.
"No."
The old woman shook her head.
She understood what Bai’s Martial Marquis wanted to say; he wanted to use the power of the Martial Spirit.
But she felt that even if they used the power of the Martial Spirit, they might not be able to kill Lu Yan.
It might even reveal their identities.
"It’s almost time for the Hour of the Rat, and we have important matters to attend to. Whether Li Wenxin is killed or not isn’t important. I suggest we retreat first."
The old woman said.
"Alright."
Bai’s Martial Marquis nodded.
The two continuously retreated, and when they were a certain distance from Lu Yan, they turned around and ran.
Lu Yan didn’t pursue.
His goal was to save Li Wenxin. Now that his goal had been fulfilled, there was no need to risk his life for Li Wenxin.
"I am deeply grateful for your timely assistance, otherwise my life would have been lost."
Li Wenxin walked over, expressing his gratitude with a deep bow.
"It was nothing, just a trifle."
Lu Yan replied.
"May I ask for your name?" Li Wenxin asked.
"Lu Ren."
Lu Yan replied.
"Ah, so you’re Lu Ren."
Li Wenxin seemed to grasp something, but his heart was filled with confusion. He had no familial or friendly bonds with Lu Ren and didn’t understand why the latter would save him.
Generally, people wouldn’t conflict with two powerful individuals for a stranger.
Did this Lu Ren know him?
Or perhaps, one of his friends knew him and mentioned him?
But seeing that Lu Ren did not seem inclined to share, he wisely chose not to inquire further.
"Brother Lu, I can never forget the favor you granted by saving my life. If you need anything in the future, please come to the Li Family in Baicao City. I’ll do my utmost to help."
"Also, not long ago, I was lucky enough to obtain two stalks of Ink Jade Ganoderma. Allow me to gift one to you, Brother Lu, as thanks."
Li Wenxin untied a bundle and took out a Lingzhi that looked as though it was polished from a black jade, handing it to Lu Yan.
"Ink Jade Ganoderma."
Lu Yan’s eyes lit up.
This was the second most important ingredient in cooking the Ink Jade Heart Bead, topped only by the Heart Orb. On the market, it was worth 80,000 taels of silver - extremely rare, an opportunity that was hard to come by.
"Then I wouldn’t be courteous."
Lu Yan directly accepted it.
"Young Master Li, it seems like someone is deliberately trying to kill you. Staying here will be highly dangerous."
Lu Yan warned.
He was afraid that Li Wenxin might really die on Kunwu Mountain.
Li Wenxin nodded, his face shadowed.
Eight or nine times out of ten, it must be Li Wenxuan.
"Once I suppress the poison in my body, I will leave Kunwu Mountain."
Li Wenxin said.
Lu Yan nodded and said, "I have important matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave."
Lu Yan turned back to the red soil, noticing that the Phoenix Scent was about to burn out.
"It seems that even in Kunwu Mountain, Phoenix Blood Worms are rare. I was lucky to find one at the beginning."
Lu Yan shook his head and chuckled.
Seeing the Phoenix Scent was about to extinguish, he didn’t linger. With one leap, he left the place.
Half an hour later, Lu Yan stopped in front of a sea of flowers.
The petals of the flowers looked like pearls. At a glance, it was dazzlingly beautiful.
"What kind of flowers are these? They’re beautiful. If they were on Earth in my previous life, they would have made Valentine’s Day difficult for the men."
Lu Yan smiled, glanced a few times, didn’t pay much attention, and stepped into the sea of flowers.
After passing through a sea of flowers, he found a dense jungle.
Lu Yan arbitrarily chose a direction to move forward, but he hadn’t walked far before he stopped, showing a puzzled expression.
Because just now, the Dao Book reacted autonomously, glowing and revealing a strong desire.
There was Dao Food.
And not just any Dao Food - its quality was exceptionally high, and it was nearby.
Considering he didn’t actively communicate with the Dao Book, the book’s autonomous response was extraordinary.
Immediately, Lu Yan immersed his mind into the Dao Book, and as he actively communicated with it, he sensed the precise location of the Dao Food.
With a tap of his feet, Lu Yan, like a gust of wind, headed towards the location of the Dao Food.
After two miles, Lu Yan stopped on a tree, looking in astonishment at the scene in front of him.
There, an alien beast that looked like a fierce tiger was prowling around.
According to the hint from Dao Book, the Dao Food was within the body of this alien beast, in its flesh and blood.
How could Dao Food be inside an alien beast? Lu Yan had never encountered such a situation before.
After a moment’s observation, Lu Yan saw there were no other dangers. Without hesitating, he drew the Red Blood Blade and attacked.
Roar!
The fierce tiger alien beast noticed Lu Yan, roars and strikes him with its claw, causing a fierce wind, flying sand, and moving rocks. Its power was incredibly impressive.
Lu Yan didn’t dare to take it lightly. He dodged the attack of the fierce tiger alien beast, appeared next to it, and struck its neck with his blade.
But this time, the tail of the fierce tiger alien beast, like a steel whip, lashed out towards Lu Yan.
Lu Yan neither dodged nor avoided it, his left hand threw out a punch, and his right hand held the Red Blood Blade all the while.
Clang!
The left punch collided with the tail of the fierce tiger alien beast, causing a muffled rumbling, and Lu Yan felt his fist go numb.
What a strong force.
The strength of this fierce tiger alien beast far exceeded his estimation. It was much stronger than the usual Martial Marquis Level Five, at least matching that of one with three Bone strengths.
Swish!
The Red Blood Blade hewed into the neck of the fierce tiger alien beast, only an inch through, before it was stuck.
The fierce tiger alien beast roared, and a heavy, crimson blood energy surrounded its body. At the same time, the Energy of Earth Blood from the surrounding environment madly fused with its blood energy, forming a substance that coated its body like an armor.
The power of the fierce tiger alien beast dramatically increased with a twist of its head. Its big bloody mouth aimed at Lu Yan’s arm for a bite.
Lu Yan rapidly retreated, avoiding the fierce tiger alien beast’s big bloody mouth.
"Such a powerful strength. No wonder they say that some alien beasts’ strengths increase in the Blood Land Vein. They can directly use the Energy of Earth Blood for attacks."
Lu Yan was astonished.
However, facing the temptation of Dao Food, he wouldn’t easily give up.
He had numerous Avatars to feed right now.
All nine Bone strengths burst forth; the Vajra Indestructible Skill circled to its limit, turning all of his body gold. He leaped forward again, employed his Nine Divine Lightning Slash, and began a fierce attack.
Finally, Lu Yan completely overpowered the fierce tiger alien beast. He rapidly forced it to retreat, and by the seventh slash, Lu Yan managed to slice its neck again, precisely at the previous location.
This time, half the neck of the fierce tiger alien beast was severed, and its head was barely attached to its body.
The fierce tiger alien beast turned around to run.
Lu Yan stepped forward, caught up with the beast, grabbed its tail and pulled it back. The beast, weighing several thousand pounds, was pulled back. The Red Blood Blade kept falling, hacking at the beast’s neck.
This time, the head of the fierce tiger alien beast completely fell off.
The towering body of the fierce tiger alien beast collapsed on the ground.
"It should be at the position of the rib."
Following the Dao Book’s hint, Lu Yan cut open the abdomen of the fierce tiger alien beast and found a unique rib bone.
This rib bone had two colors.
One end was slightly reddish, similar to the other rib bones of the fierce tiger alien beast.
But the other end was milky white.
Lu Yan felt that this piece of milky white rib was artificially grafted.
And the Dao Food that the Dao Book sensed, it was this piece of milky white rib.
