Chapter 219: Chapter 194: Killing Liu Zhenshuo_1
Roar!
Liu Zhenshuo let out a beastlike roar, and a dark figure emerged from him.
A meatball covered in tentacles screamed and hurled towards Lu Yan. Dozens of tentacles lashed out at Lu Yan.
At the same time, after Liu Zhenshuo’s head reassembled, he too pounced at Lu Yan.
As Lu Yan fought Liu Zhenshuo, the Chasing Star Arrow avatar perched on Blood Slaughter’s back, continuously shooting arrows at the red-haired youth.
With this, Wei Changkong’s pressure was significantly reduced, with only Qiu Cao left as his opponent.
"Chaotic Wind."
Lu Yan stepped forward, swinging his blade. Suddenly, the void was filled with shadows of the knife, dozens of them.
The meatball’s tentacles were severed one by one.
Then, Lu Yan took a big step forward, the light of the blade flashed and vanished.
Liu Zhenshuo and the meatball were both cleaved in half at the same time.
The meatball screamed incessantly, quickly reconstructing itself, but it was evident that it was now weaker.
Liu Zhenshuo, however, was having an even harder time reassembling. At his wound, a fearsome power was preventing his recovery.
It was the Top Bone Strength.
The Top Bone Strength, like a super sharp battle knife, but when it cuts into the martial spirit, it turns into countless small knives, with terrible destructive power, constantly destroying Martial Spirit.
"The Top Bone Strength, indeed extraordinary, before I had refined the Top Bone Strength, my damage to Martial Spirit was very limited. Now, my damage has surged a lot."
Lu Yan was overjoyed.
He continued his onslaught, swinging his blade continuously while his opponents hadn’t yet recovered.
The meatball and Liu Zhenshuo had no power to resist and were split in two once again.
Especially Liu Zhenshuo, he hadn’t recovered yet and was again cut into two sections.
On the other side, Qiu Cao and the red-haired youth’s faces turned grim.
Liu Zhenshuo, with his Martial Spirit power unleashed, was powerless against Lu Yan, such strength shocked them. If Liu Zhenshuo were killed, they would be next.
"Full force."
Qiu Cao growled, his face twisted, and black mist enveloped his body as he unleashed his Martial Spirit power.
Two sharp claws protruded from his back, like the foreclaws of a mantis, like scythes, extremely sharp, attacking Wei Changkong.
Originally, the strength of Wei Changkong and Qiu Cao were evenly matched, but after Qiu Cao used his Martial Spirit power, his strength surged, overwhelming Wei Changkong.
Wei Changkong could only defend passively, having little power to attack. Out of ten moves, nine were defensive, and only occasionally could he find an opportunity for a counterattack.
The red-haired youth also used his Martial Spirit power, greatly increasing his strength.
However, Blood Slaughter was hovering in the high sky, the red-haired youth couldn’t hit Blood Slaughter at all. After several arrows were blocked in succession, he suddenly pounced at Wei Changkong.
He planned to join forces with Qiu Cao to kill Wei Changkong first, then besiege Lu Yan.
"Go down, entangle him."
The Chasing Star Arrow avatar said to Blood Slaughter.
Blood Slaughter could only swoop down reluctantly. As he fluttered his wings, more than a dozen feathers shot like arrows at the red-haired youth.
At the same time, a pair of sharp claws also reached out for the red-haired youth.
As for the Chasing Star Arrow avatar, he jumped to one side, keeping a distance of 200 meters from the red-haired youth, and shot out arrows continuously.
The red-haired youth could only stop to defend, unable to attack Wei Changkong.
It’s a pity that when Lu Yan had cultivated the Top Knife Technique and his Bone Strength had transformed into Top Bone Strength, the strength of the first-rate Martial Arts avatars did not increase. They were still about the same as before.
Now, only the Jiu Jie Knife avatar possessed 60% of Lu Yan’s own strength.
After careful analysis, Lu Yan found this to be quite normal.
The substantial increase in his strength was primarily due to the improvement in his Knife Technique and the Top Bone Strength.
The enhancement of the Knife Technique and the Top Bone Strength are both unrelated to the other avatars.
And the Top Bone Strength is only related to the Top Martial Arts avatar, not to the first-grade Martial Arts avatars.
First-rate Martial Arts can’t cultivate the Top Bone Strength.
Both of these things have nothing to do with the first-grade Martial Arts avatars, so it’s quite normal that their strength has not increased.
Unless Lu Yan’s Bone Strength increases again, or his cultivation level improves, the strength of the first-rate Martial Arts avatar will increase accordingly.
Of course, when saying that an avatar has a percentage of the body’s strength, it refers to Bone Strength, not combat power.
For example, before Lu Yan had cultivated the Top Knife Technique, Chasing Star Arrow and other first-rate avatars each only had 60% of the body’s strength.
But not 60% of the combat power.
But with his remarkable offensive power, the combat power of the Chasing Star Arrow avatar exceeds 60% of the body’s power.
As for the Cloud Walk avatar, although it has 60% of the body’s strength, because it specializes in speed and lacks attack power, its combat power is less than 60% of the body’s power.
Chasing Star Arrow avatar and Blood Slaughter combined, temporarily entangled the red-haired youth.
Lu Yan himself never halted his offensive. He continuously chopped with the Red Blood Blade and quickly dismembered the shadow of the meatball and Liu Zhenshuo.
The astonishingly lethal Top Bone Strength was constantly eroding the vitality of Liu Zhenshuo and the shadow of the meatball.
"Lu Yan..."
Liu Zhenshuo let out a frustrated roar.
Thump thump.....
Liu Zhenshuo wanted to struggle and recover, but eventually, his fragmented body fell to the ground, turning into a pile of corpse pieces, devoid of any vitality.
And the black meatball had shrunk to several times smaller, its aura languishing.
Swoosh swoosh!
Two more strokes of the blade descended. The black meatball erupted open, turning into clouds of black smoke and vanished between heaven and earth.
A master-level Martial Spirit completely annihilated.
After killing Liu Zhenshuo, Lu Yan sprung towards Qiu Cao with a swing of his blade.
Qiu Cao swung his battle axe to block.
Clang!
The knife and axe clashed, sending sparks flying through the air, and a powerful force swept out from the collision point. Qiu Cao’s burly body slightly trembled, his white hair danced wildly in the wind, and then he staggered backward.
A storm of shock surged in his heart.
He had already used his Martial Spirit, which was currently at its peak.
Despite this, he was at a disadvantage in the direct confrontation.
This Lu Yan, could it be that he was at the third level of mastery?
No, that could not be.
He was not at the third level, but far exceeded an average Second-rank Master.
Retreating, Qiu Cao saw Wei Changkong seize the opportunity to counterattack. He stepped forward, his inner strength rolling and the two-meter-long War Knife in his hand emitting a dazzling light. He slashed at Qiu Cao three times in a row.
Qiu Cao wielded his mantis-like claws to block, successfully defending against all of Wei Changkong’s knife attacks.
Lu Yan swung his sword and advanced.
Wild Wind.
Dozens of sword lights filled the sky, each striking towards Qiu Cao. Each one of them seemed real and simultaneously also illusionary.
Qiu Cao swung his axe like a whirlwind, but he was still unable to block all the sword lights.
Swoosh!
The Red Blood Blade slashed towards Qiu Cao’s neck.
Startled, Qiu Cao quickly retreated, but with a swift advance from Lu Yan, who followed closely, the sword light was like a thunderbolt.
The third killing stroke of the Jiu Jie Knife, Thunderbolt.
Splat!
This slash cut diagonally from Qiu Cao’s shoulder towards his waist.
The exceptional blade technique complemented by the exceptional bone strength cut through anything with peerless sharpness. It instantly penetrated Qiu Cao’s protective inner strength, leaving a wound several inches deep that reached his internal organs.
Qiu Cao roared. His pair of scythe-like clawed hands slashed crazily towards Lu Yan, but Lu Yan blocked it with a swing of his sword.
A dense black mist emerged from Qiu Cao’s body, his wound on the waist healed at an astonishing speed.
Not only that, but a black shell, similar to an insect’s carapace, also appeared on his body.
"No matter if he hides inside a shell, I will break it."
Lu Yan swung his sword and launched another attack.
Wei Changkong also made his full strike. A second-rank master’s full force was not to be underestimated. Qiu Cao had to concentrate to resist, which gave Lu Yan an opportunity to exploit.
After a few moves, Lu Yan’s sword once again hit Qiu Cao.
Even his shell, which was ten times harder than armor, couldn’t guard against the sharp edge of Lu Yan’s blade. It was easily cut open, blood gushing out.
The force attached to the blade seemed like countless small knives drilling into Qiu Cao’s flesh, obliterating everything.
Even by using the power of the Martial Spirit for recovery, it was excruciatingly difficult.
"Damn it, this Lu Yan, what’s his background? Didn’t Liu Zhenshuo say he’s only at the Martial Marquis level? How can he be this powerful?"
"No, the giant blood-coloured eagle seems to be from Kunwu Mountain. Could this person be connected to Kunwu Mountain, or is he a disciple of the old man hidden in Kunwu Mountain?"
The thoughts in Qiu Cao’s mind sped up.
Among them, there was a terrifying figure residing within Kunwu Mountain, something that these masters of the Feudal Lords naturally knew.
Otherwise, ten third-level Alien Beast Kings alone would not have been enough to intimidate thirteen Master Level Feudal Lords.
The more he thought, the more likely it seemed.
Otherwise, how would such a master suddenly appear?
Unless he was a foreigner. But how could the foreigner get so close to Kunwu Mountain?
After a few more moves, Lu Yan’s sword struck Qiu Cao again. This time, it struck directly on his head, cutting off half of his brain.
Squeak squeak...
Qiu Cao let out a sharp cry, not at all human-like. His face was ferociously distorted and his body continuously twitched, revealing more mantis-like traits.
Immediately after, a dark shadow emerged from Qiu Cao’s body.
This shadow was a giant mantis, enveloped in a dense black mist, giving off a chilling aura. It pounced forward, the mantis’s claws slashing towards Lu Yan.
Clang clang!
Lu Yan swung his sword to parry, blocking the mantis’s claws, and then took a step using the Cloud Walk. His figure flashed, appearing at the side of the real Qiu Cao body, and with a horizontal swing of his sword, he beheaded Qiu Cao.
Wei Changkong took the opportunity to step forward and cut Qiu Cao’s body in half with his sword.
Squeak squeak...
The mantis-like dark shadow screeched, immediately flying back into Qiu Cao’s body, causing his healing powers to surge, and his shattered body reconstituted itself.
Then... it turned to run.
"Qiu Cao, don’t try to escape, today is your day of doom," Lu Yan shouted, pushing off the ground with explosive force.
But he did not rush toward Qiu Cao, but instead towards the redhead young man.
The redhead did not expect that Lu Yan’s actions and his shouts were entirely inconsistent. It was too late for him to dodge, and Lu Yan’s sword cut him in half.
Take advantage of his sickness to take his life.
Bone strength surged, repeatedly swinging the sword.
In just a few moments, Lu Yan had swung his sword dozens of times, cutting the red-haired young man and the shadow inside his body into pieces.
The shadow had an incredibly strong life force and was still struggling as if trying to reassemble itself, even in such a state.
Lu Yan swung his sword in another flurry of attacks.
This time, with a collision, the shadow exploded completely, turning into a black smoke that dispersed into the atmosphere.
As for Qiu Cao, Lu Yan did not chase him.
Honestly speaking, Qiu Cao was very strong. Being a second-rank master, and with the ability to use the Martial Spirit, Lu Yan could gain an upper hand with his full force. But killing Qiu Cao would be difficult.
The difference in strength was not significant, and if the opponent was determined to escape, it would be difficult for him to keep him.
Unless there were a few more second-rank masters who could hold him while Lu Yan launched full force attacks to slowly kill him.
