Chapter 164 - 147 Green-haired Zombie_1

"So that’s how it is."

Lu Yan suddenly realized and, to be honest, was somewhat tempted.

He currently possesses nine Bone Strengths. Naturally, the difficulty of breaking through to the Grandmaster level is immense. Just practicing the Heart Tempering Decision does not guarantee safety.

It would be best to have the support of the Phoenix Blood Heart Protective Soup or the Ink Jade Heart Bead to greatly increase the chances of making the breakthrough.

He would definitely need to prepare such Martial Foods.

However, relying on the Li Family was out of the question.

The Li Family would need decades to raise a second-level Mutated Beast King to obtain its Heart Orb. Li Wenxuan and Li Wenxin are still waiting in line, let alone himself.

He must find a way on his own.

Going into Kunwu Mountain is undoubtedly an option.

Moreover, even if he couldn’t make it into the top three, accumulating a lot of merit can also be exchanged for a large amount of resources and Martial Arts knowledge from the Zhao Clan.

"Brother Lu, with your strength, you might have a shot at competing. It’s worth a try," Zhao Sirong added.

"Sirong, you said that those Master Level monsters are all being watched. None of them will stray away, will they?" Lu Yan asked.

His primary concern was the Master Level monsters.

If a Master Level monster, hiding in the shadows, were to suddenly spring out and strike him, wouldn’t that be unfair?

One couldn’t be too cautious.

Although the lure of battle merits and the quota for Kunwu Mountain are enticing, his life is more important.

What’s the use of those resources if one’s life is lost?

"Relax. After the humanoid monsters have killed three Master Level monsters, the number of Master Level monsters has become less than the human Masters. The remaining Master Level monsters are all under control and being hunted down. They can barely save themselves. It’s a pity that I have been ordered to stay in Lingwang City, otherwise, I would also like to go out and give it a try. I dare not think about the top three, but accumulating more merits is good." Zhao Sirong replied.

Lu Yan nodded and said, "Thank you for the information, Sirong. I’m going to try my luck outside the city now. Farewell."

Having said that, Lu Yan turned around, quickly dashed towards the Bei City, and left the city.

Along the way, he could see groups of Martial Cultivators rushing forward in quick steps. Those who dared to go out were usually Martial Marquises.

Most of them travelled in groups, while those who acted alone were strong combatants.

Lu Yan used Cloud Walk to speed up, floating forward like a gust of wind, attracting many stares from passers-by.

"Such a fast speed, this man most likely specializes in speed type Martial Arts. I guess he has reached the Reaching the Peak of Perfection stage."

"I think it’s more than that."

Many people were discussing.

Lu Yan gave a faint smile, seemingly indifferent to the talks.

Actually, he wouldn’t have been so high-profile with his real identity. But the identity of ’Lu Ren’ is a one-time thing. After exchanging his merits for resources, he simply disappears, and the name ’Lu Ren’ will no longer exist in this world.

So, what’s wrong with being high-profile?

Soon, he was tens of miles away.

Ahead, a group of cavalrymen rode back and forth. They wore battle armor, and their aura was solemn. They were none other than the Zhao Clan’s army.

"All Martial Marquis Lords, most of the monsters have escaped into the Heiyue Mountains ahead. Please enter the Heiyue Mountain Range to hunt these monsters," a military officer shouted. His voice echoed from afar. He was also a formidable Martial Marquis.

On the left was a pitch-black mountain range. Under the night sky, one could not see its end.

Lu Yan saw around ten Martial Marquises forming into three teams, rushing into the Heiyue Mountains.

Lu Yan also ran quickly, rushing into the Heiyue Mountains.

In the Heiyue Mountains, old trees towered into the sky. Large trees that took several people to hold were everywhere.

Bushes and weeds grew everywhere, seriously affecting the speed.

Even the Martial Marquises found it hard to rush and had to make way using their weapons.

Luckily, many Martial Marquises had already made their way into the mountains and cleared several paths. Lu Yan’s speed wasn’t affected much as he followed the paths cleared by his predecessors and ran forward.

Soon, he penetrated more than ten miles into the Heiyue Mountains.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a monster jumped out from the bushes. Its eyes were bloodshot and it had a strong physique with sharp claws like knives.

Lu Yan drew his sword and in a flash of light, the monster’s head flew off.

"Just a Limit Breaking level."

Lu Yan showed no expression and continued moving forward.

During the subsequent time, monsters would often attack from the thick bushes, only to be easily killed by Lu Yan, but they were all Limit Breaking level monsters. He did not encounter a single Martial Marquis level monster.

Lu Yan simply jumped onto a large tree. Using Cloud Walk, he leaped among the branches. This way, he was much faster.

"Don’t let it escape."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A moment later, Lu Yan saw three Martial Marquises chasing a Martial Marquis level monster.

Two of them were holding bows and arrows, chasing and shooting at the same time.

But the monster was very agile in the forest, jumping left and right, and easily dodging the arrows.

The two Martial Marquises shot five or six arrows, but all missed.

Lu Yan increased his speed, jumping among the tree branches. Then he pounced on a Martial Marquis.

The Martial Marquis, hearing the sound of the wind, turned back in shock. He tried to shoot an arrow but it was too late. Lu Yan appeared in front of him. With a swipe of his right hand, he cut the Marquis’s wrist. The Marquis felt a numbness in his hand from an electric shock. The Iron Bow slipped out of his hand and was caught by Lu Yan.

"Hand me the arrows."

Lu Yan said coldly.

The Martial Marquis felt a chill. Knowing that he had encountered a formidable character, he obediently took off his quiver and handed it to Lu Yan.

After hanging the quiver, Lu Yan jumped onto the branch and quickly pursued the monster.

Whoosh!

The next arrow was shot out. It ripped through the forest like a flash of lightning and disappeared in a flash.

Thud!

The monster’s head was pierced, and it fell to the ground.
