Chapter 168 - 150: Surround and Kill the Grandmaster Demon_1

Watching the two grandmasters vanishing into the depths of the ancient battlefield, Lu Yan quietly retreated, distanced himself from the battle, and observed from afar.

This place could be assaulted or defended, in case anything goes awry, he could immediately escape.

He mustn’t be careless.

Even when the two grandmasters entered the battlefield, nothing could be certain, for all they knew, a master level demon beast might launch a violent attack against the human martial marquis.

We must be prepared.

Better be safe than sorry, it wouldn’t be too late to hunt down the demon beasts after confirming the absence of threats.

Roar!

Moments later, an earth-shaking roar echoed from the depths of the ancient battlefield. Though separated by miles away, the sound of the roar was still enough to make one flinch and bowels freeze.

Some could not help but back away, cold sweat seeping from their palms.

The more cowardly ones had even thought about turning tail and running.

Rumble!

Soon after, the ground trembled as a group of demon beasts rushed out from the ancient battlefield.

"Kill!"

The human martial marquis charged, engaging in a fierce battle with the demon beasts.

Lu Yan observed the situation and upon confirming the absence of a master level demon beast, he jumped up and with a single blade, he cleaved a Martial Marquis Level Two demon in half. His left hand reached out and grabbed a Demon Evils Crystal.

Then, he charged towards a Martial Marquis Level Four demon beast.

Throughout the battlefield, many experts from the Martial Marquis List were exhausting their abilities to hunt down the demon beasts.

In the corner of his eye, Lu Yan saw Li Wenxuan, Li Wenxin, Ouyang Zeng, Gao Wanping...

Roar!

Suddenly, a deafening roar that sent shivers down one’s spine resonated as a giant bear-like demon beast charged out.

This demon beast was nearly five meters tall, with its bear paws as big as water tanks. Each step it took seemed to shake the earth, and every footprint it left was like a huge pit.

Spurt!

A Level Two Martial Marquis expert was hit by the giant bear demon beast. His body directly exploded, turning into a pile of flesh.

"Grandmaster, it’s a master level demon beast."

Many people were taken aback.

Lu Yan was also startled, he swiftly kept his distance, ensuring it was well enough from the creature.

However, this Grandmaster demon beast did not start a massacre among the human martial marquis but ran in a straight line.

Because, it was wounded, and seriously wounded at that.

Half its head was missing, black blood continually flowing down its body.

There were large holes at its chest and stomach, and with the strong life force of the demon, it still failed to heal.

The beast seemed listless, clearly losing strength. Its run was obviously unstable, stumbling and lurching.

Despite this, no one dared confront it. The martial marquises parted to make way for the giant bear demon beast wherever it went.

Soon, the giant bear demon beast broke through the encirclement of the human martial marquis and charged towards the distant forest.

No human grandmaster gave chase from behind.

A chill ran down the spine of many, had the two old grandmasters encountered an accident?

"Everyone, don’t panic. There should be two master level demon beasts in this ancient battlefield. The one that is on the brink of death should be the one that just ran away. The two grandmasters are most likely held back by the other master level demon beast. Lets take this opportunity to hunt down the grandmaster level demon beast."

Li Wenxin’s voice echoed through the crowd.

The eyes of many gleamed with anticipation.

If they could obtain a master-level Demon Evils Crystal, they would inevitably rank among the top three, and they could exchange it for a massive amount of resources.

Several people started to secretly follow the giant bear demon beast.

Lu Yan saw Gao Wanping, Ouyang Zeng, Li Wenxin and others.

About ten people, each one of them an absolute expert, either from the Martial Marquis List or almost equivalent to it.

But Li Wenxuan, didn’t follow.

Lu Yan hesitated for a moment and didn’t immediately follow. Instead, he continued hunting the fleeing demon beasts.

With the increase in the number of slain demon beasts, his efficiency in killing demon beasts also increased.

Each of his strikes hit the key points. He was the first one to rob the demon beasts of their Demon Evils Crystals, leaving them powerless to resist.

In a moment, ten martial marquis-level demon beasts fell at the hands of Lu Yan.

"Should I go and see?"

Lu Yan muttered to himself, his thoughts never straying far from the grandmaster level demon beast.

In the end, Lu Yan decided to go and take a look.

However, he constantly reminded himself not to be greedy. He was only going over to check out the situation and would not make a move unless he was completely sure of success.

Maximizing the expression of Cloud Walk, Lu Yan rushed towards the direction of the giant bear demon beast like the wind.

The place where the giant bear demon beast ran, bore the significant imprints of its footprints. There was no need to worry about losing track of it.

Following the footprints and leaping on tree branches, Lu Yan caught sight of the figures in front in less than the time it takes to burn two incense sticks.

The running speed of the giant bear demon beast was slowing down more and more, the steps gradually becoming unsteady.

The dozen human martial marquis who were pursuing, however, did not rush to make their move but followed in silence.

Lu Yan also decelerated, following leisurely from behind.

Thud!

Suddenly, the giant bear demon beast stumbled and fell. The massive flailing body struggled a few times on the ground before managing to get up and continue moving forward.

Still, no one made a move.

"Everyone is being very cautious."

Lu Yan thought to himself.

These people were all calm and composed; no one hurried forward recklessly.

The giant bear demon beast ran another five to six miles before falling down again.

This time, the giant bear demon beast struggled several times but was unable to stand up. Its huge body lay on the ground twitching, gradually ceasing all movement.

"Is it dead?" The eyes of the crowd lit up.

However, for a while, no one moved.

A mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the approaching oriole.

There were many people trailing behind them. Whoever moved first, even if they obtained the Demon Evils Crystal, would likely become the target of public criticism.
