Level Up in Martial World

The ground was lit by blood as the clouds covered the sky entirely, and even the sun couldn't be seen.

Mangled corpses littered the ground, and a literal river of blood flowed, staining the earth in a crimson hue.

However, the ground was empty right now, and there was still silence in the place, all except for the sky.

In the sky, there was one young man and one woman who had a spacious floating up in the sky as they stared at the man wearing green clothes who was smiling at them.

"Looks like you will be losing soon if this goes on..." Ancestor Xia coldly told as he looked at Lu Ming.

However, Lu Ming's expression was still that of indifference as he ignored the man and looked at the fiery-haired woman instead.

"Huang Shi, so you really want to attack the Lu family, huh..." he shook his head with a sigh as if he was disappointed with her.

"Did you really think of me as stupid or something? Will my name not come after you finish the Xia family?" Huang Shi said with a cold tone.

Which made Lu Ming chuckle. "That is true. I would do that," his eyes glinted with a cruel light.

"What are you laughing for? Don't you know the situation you are in?" she said as she put her hands forward in a quick motion.

Boom!

A thin visible armour covered her entire body as she seemed to be growing bigger by the moment. As she grew bigger, she emitted a terrifying aura that made Lu Ming's expression turn serious.

As she grew bigger, her clothes ripped apart, replaced by faintly visible armour that covered her as a whole, only leaving her face visible.

Although Lu Ming had a serious expression on his face, he still carried his casual aura as he looked at her with dazzling eyes.

However, the most shocked person there was Xia Kai as his eyes widened with pure shock.

"You are a bloodline martial artist?" he said, still processing things.

"Of course, I am. Now, help me fight him, or we will both be dead," Huang Shi said with a determined face as her expression turned even more serious when she looked at Lu Ming.

"I regret allying with this idiot," she muttered as she made the first move by punching straight in the air.

Lu Ming, seeing this, had a strange glint flashing in his eyes as he casually dodged the attack.

"Oh no, you don't..." She pushed her hands out, and a flaming wheel materialised out of her hand, shooting directly at him.

Lu Ming was caught off-guard, causing him to take the full brunt of the attack as he was sent flying, crashing into the ground.

"You can already beat him, why do you need me for it?" Xia Kai said as he looked at her.

"Idiot, do you think beating a middle first-stage martial artist is so easy?" she mumbled as suddenly a wooden statue materialised in thin air, shooting directly towards Xia Kai.

Boom!

Xia Kai was sent hurtling just like Lu Ming; however, he directly flew up into the sky.

"Let's fight for real now."

Huang Shi's eyes widened as she looked back to see a punch coming straight at her, sending her flying up into the clouds as well.

"Let's fight till our hearts content today," Lu Ming sneered as he went up into the clouds.

...

"Did they go up?" Xia Jia thought as he looked up into the sky, where the three figures were nowhere to be found, making him heave a sigh of relief.

"It's time to slaughter the Lu family again. For slaughtering our patriarch and our young master," his eyes glinted with ruthlessness as he looked right and left, seeing all his brothers.

"We must kill those two mother and son pairs, Lu Ying and Lu Zhen. Remember, this is our priority."

A strange silence permeated when they heard this.

"Don't worry about it; that brat is still a third-stage martial artist. Although our youth was technically a second-stage martial artist, he didn't even have half the strength of a second-stage martial artist. Someone has intervened in the fight, as there's no way that guy could become a second-stage martial artist overnight." Xia Jia sneered.

After all, no one was stupid enough to believe that a random guy could become a second-stage martial artist overnight.

The only reason Lu Zhen was spared from this suspicion was simply because of his status and his bloodline that the ancestors of Lu knew of, where he would be incapable of having any martial talent unless he awakened his bloodline.

Coupled with the ancient warrior physique, it was believable. However, a random guy with no talent becoming strong out of nowhere? Who would believe these things?

"I would have investigated with that guy if that man hadn't died in Lu Zhen's hands; he must," he said as he released his terrifying aura, revealing a faint intent.

Causing everyone's eyes to widen as their bodies trembled with instinctive fear.

"Xia Jia, you are close to becoming a second-stage martial artist," the ten or so people said with widened eyes.

"No, I haven't taken that step yet. I am very close to forming my own intent. Once I do, I can be a first-stage martial artist too..."

"So even if Lu Ming, the ancestor of the Lu family, wins the fight in the sky, we will definitely win the battle here," a small grin graced his lips.

"We will win the war this time."

"Yes." They all roared in unison. However, one of the men who looked old with his hair fully white but he had a clean shaved face had a frown on his face as his eyes glinted with wisdom.

"What happened?" Xia Jia said as he looked at the man frowning.

"Xia Jia, it looks like communication from the Devil River Fortress is cut off. I am afraid that something might have happened there."
