Level Up in Martial World

Suddenly, a familiar dark flaming arrow flickered, and a horrifying cry of pain resounded, melting a captain with it. Even his clothes were burned to ashes, and his entire body melted to the bones; at the last moment, only his ashes were left.

The surroundings were stunned, and they faltered, but a commanding cold voice came that made them move forward. After all, they were war-hardened soldiers, and while death like this was rare, they launched forward.

A sneer appeared on Lu Zhen's face as he roared in his human form, creating a shockwave that seemed to tremble the ground. The army also roared in unison as madness reflected in their eyes, and the smell of death prevailed in the air.

"Either kill or be dead."

Lu Zhen, without hesitation, charged forward at the army, taking out a simple sword and started hacking. Instantly, with just a swing of his sword, he was able to kill at least ten people simultaneously as the others' eyes widened with horror, pushing their spears at Lu Zhen simultaneously as if on instinct.

Seeing at least ten spears come at him, Lu Zhen was relatively calm as he effortlessly manoeuvred himself, dodging them by a thin margin as if they had almost hit but survived by luck.

A sneer appeared on his face as he simply slashed his sword, and the heads of three individuals fell to the ground.

There was no fancy trick used; Lu Zhen just slashed his ordinary sword, and heads fell down one by one. Every attack, no matter how or what it was, he dodged it always by a narrow margin, as if he was a ghost it was like he was always in the position to be hit but none of the weapon could even touch him.

Soon, the soldiers realised that no matter what they did, Lu Zhen was completely unfazed, which made their eyes widen with horror.

At the same time, the Lu family army fiercely clashed with the enemy, creating a pool of blood as the battle cry resounded from time to time.

Heads, arms, and legs of the soldiers fell quickly to the ground as the ground was dyed in red creating a gory scene.

Lu Zhen was slowly carving a path ahead, just like Huang Kai; however, he didn't use a fancy, idiotic combat art that drained one's strength unnecessarily.

Wherever he went, a pool of blood formed as he slowly killed one by one, even more terrifying than Huang Kai. At least Huang Kai's actions were at an understandable level and not humiliating, but Lu Zhen was directly stepping on their dignity and throwing them in the dustbin, causing the morale of the enemy army to fall.

"Death Reaper."

Lu Zhen's ears twitched when he heard the name, but without hesitation, he simply swung, and five men fell down. Even though he was surrounded on all sides, he didn't use even an ounce of his strength.

"The battle instinct is quite helpful in this type of battle," Lu Zhen mused as he looked at his mother's side, jumping up under the horrified eyes of the soldiers.

"Well, she is fighting the second-stage martial artist with the other grand elders of the family. They don't seem to have much trouble…" Lu Zhen frowned when he saw this.

Lu Ying was fighting Huang Kai, and the other grand elders were engaged in combat with each other. Lu Ying had a slight advantage, crushing Huang Kai in every step she took. Meanwhile, the grand elders of the Huang family weren't faring much better, being beaten time and again by the grand elders of the Lu family due to the numerical advantage.

The only reason the Lu family was previously losing the battle was because of the combined efforts of both the Huang and Xia families. Now that the Xia family was basically wiped out, there was no way the Huang family could win under normal circumstances.

However, Lu Zhen's frown deepened as he adopted a contemplative expression.

"What was that bastard Huang Kai so confident about?" he wondered.

"I guess only time will tell," Lu Zhen shook his head, discarding distracting thoughts. He landed in the middle of the Xia family army again, killing five soldiers in just the landing process, and initiated a killing spree with a simple slash of his sword.

"Death Reaper appeared again."

Lu Zhen didn't pay much attention to the name given to him; in fact, he welcomed the opportunity to build his reputation. As the saying goes, sometimes reputation is considered one's strength and should be carefully cultivated. Either way, it was better to have a fearsome reputation than no reputation at all.

He sliced through the army like butter as time slowly passed. Lu Zhen carefully conserved his energy, remaining alert the whole time and keeping a watchful eye on his mother's side to ensure everything was in order.

…

"Damn it, if this goes on, we will disappoint the envoy," Huang Kai gritted his teeth as he was pushed back by the fist covered in spikes again.

"Should I call him already?"

He had a contemplative expression on his face before it turned ruthless. "It is better than having the entire family wiped out."

Huang Kai took out a golden order with two scimitars crossed each other, emitting a strange aura.

Within a blink of an eye, he broke the order, and a golden light emitted from it, covering the whole sky in a pillar of gold that seemed to reach the heavens.

"Hmm…" Lu Ying was stunned when she saw this.

"You bastard, mother and son, now you are all dead." Huang Kai's eyes became bloodshot as he laughed uncontrollably like a madman.

Lu Ying frowned when she heard this as she backstepped, feeling a familiar terrifying aura that made her instinctively tremble.

She ran without looking back, as far as possible, with an expressionless face.

"Where are you going, Lu Ying?" a voice resonated in the sky as a man revealed himself in the sky, emitting a terrifying aura that made everyone's eyes widen with horror.
