Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 155: Ant: Devour

He knew that the guy didn't have mental energy, which meant he couldn't sense him with his combination of hidden techniques that Lu Zhen had developed.

Turning the guy into a headless fly, Lu Zhen could exploit and kill him at will.

"If you can't see me, you are just prey for me to exploit. Even if you see me, you can't hit me," he sneered. With the "Battle Instinct" skill and the upgraded "Devour" skill, he was essentially invincible in his realm, easily able to fight higher-stage martial artists.

…

Thud!

The man fell to the floor with countless wounds on his body, resembling a skeleton with almost all his blood drained.

"That's enough. Xia Wei is surrendering," Xia Cao hurriedly said as he stood up from his seat.

"Oh, it's just a scuffle of the descendants. Why are you intervening?" Ancestor Lu suddenly blocked Xia Cao's words.

"Xia Wei, surrendered. Are you breaking the rule?" Xia Cao coldly said as he looked at Ancestor Lu.

"But I haven't heard him surrender though. Has anyone?" Ancestor Lu looked around, but nobody spoke a word. After all, Xia Wei couldn't surrender since his tongue and mouth were long cut by Lu Zhen.

"You…" Xia Cao had a cold expression on his face.

With no surprise, Lu Zhen swiftly beheaded Xia Wei, his head embracing the cold floor with a sickening thud.

"One down," Lu Zhen mused to himself. However, he had a frown on his face. He had thought that there was something about the man he didn't know, but until the man's last breath, he didn't reveal anything apart from his lack of proficiency in his combat art and the mental energy, which was completely natural considering his age.

Lu Zhen's eyes narrowed as he looked at the corpse of the man, feeling a green light flash. He crouched down and touched the corpse.

The moment he touched the corpse, it instantly turned into dust and flew away with the wind, as if a century had passed since the man had died. Lu Zhen was stunned by this; although he had fully exhausted the man and killed him, the corpse shouldn't have aged so fast. This unexpected turn of events left Lu Zhen with a contemplative expression as thoughts swirled in his mind.

Suddenly, Lu Zhen's ears twitched as he heard a whooshing sound.

He vanished from his position just in time to evade an axe that came at him where he was previously.

"This son of a bi…" Lu Zhen turned to see Lu Yuan, who had an awkward expression on his face.

"Sorry," Lu Yuan said as he scratched his head.

He resumed his fight with the Huang family youth, who Lu Zhen also found strange.

Frowning upon seeing this, Lu Zhen stayed quiet as countless thoughts swirled in his mind, contemplating different possibilities.

"I should deal with that girl first before I deal with them…" Lu Zhen thought, a smile adorning his face as he looked around.

…

"Xia Yun'er, why are you targeting me? I am just a small character in the Lu family. If you have the guts to fight my senior brother and sister, then," a woman roared, wearing the dress of the Lu family with the verdant tree symbol on the corner of her skirt.

"Oh, what did you mean? When you offended me previously, you didn't have so much bravado," Xia Yun'er sneered as she threw countless knives at her, coated with poison.

"Damn it," she closed her eyes, her strength already exhausted from the earlier fight.

"Young Master Lu Zhen will surely avenge me," she roared as she somehow managed to gather her power to move a little, dodging the knives by a narrow margin.

Xia Yun'er frowned when she saw this.

"Futile resistance," she was about to attack again; however, a sword came flying in the distance at a terrifying speed that made the air itself seem to be torn down.

Before she could even react, her hand went flying, separated from her body.

"Ahh!" Xia Yun'er cried in agony as blood spurted out of her body from the separated part of her hand.

"It's a pleasure seeing you here again," Lu Zhen sneered as he appeared in front of the girl.

"Bastard…" Xia Yun'er's face contorted in pain as she struggled to even remain standing, her blood flowing profusely.

"You weren't like that when you gave my location to assassinate me," his expression turned cold as he looked at her with the intent to kill in his eyes.

"Wait, I didn't do that…"

"Do you think I am stupid?" Lu Zhen's tone became colder and colder.

"This…" Xia Yun'er was stunned as she thought of a way to escape; however, she couldn't find any way to escape from Lu Zhen.

"Any last words?"

"Wait, don't kill me…." she started to sob as she felt her life flashing before her eyes, making her tearful.

She sobbed loudly as tears stained her vibrant face, making her look like a cute and pitiful woman at the same time. Triggering a protective instinct in anyone witnessing it, urging them to spare her no matter what she did.

However, Lu Zhen's expression remained cold as he gazed sharply at her with not even a single hint of emotion.

Ahh!

Lu Zhen disappeared from his position, instantly appearing in front of her as Xia Yun'er's other hand separated from her body.

"How do you think acting pitiful will make me spare you?"

"No, I am going to die. Ahhh!!" Her legs were severed by Lu Zhen with a casual swipe, making her fall to the ground.

"Wait, I can be your bed warmer…"

A disgusting foul smell emitted from her, making Lu Zhen even more disgusted.

"Die."

Boom!

Lu Zhen casually stepped over her head, crushing her skull like a watermelon. Her single feet wailed like a fish for some time before she completely stopped moving.

She was deader than dead!

"No matter how beautiful you are, without strength, you are nothing more than an ant."
