Chapter 203 - 178: Can Kill Martial Spirit or Not_1

The so-called City Lord’s Mansion was originally a property left by the Liu Family. With some refurbishment, it became the current City Lord’s Mansion.

The City Lord’s Mansion, the back garden.

After performing a series of boxing moves, Lu Yan felt a wave of comfort throughout his entire body.

At this moment, Li Quan came to report.

"There are five unfamiliar martial cultivators?"

Lu Yan was alerted.

"Correct, they arrived at dawn and settled in a separate courtyard. Two of them even appeared near the City Lord’s Mansion earlier, showing an unusual interest in it. Definitely suspicious!"

Li Quan informed.

Lu Yan had always prioritized intelligence highly and had authorized Li Quan to focus on it extensively.

Upon occupying Changfeng City, he had invested a significant amount of resources in intelligence.

In particular, in Changfeng City, there was a large network of spies. Any foreign martial cultivator who entered Changfeng City could not escape Lu Yan’s attention.

Mainly he was afraid of the Liu Family’s retaliation, so he had no choice.

As soon as Li Canglin and his team of five entered Changfeng City, they were immediately tracked by the spies.

"Oh?"

A slightly serious look crossed Lu Yan’s face, he asked: "Do we know their identities?"

Li Quan shook his head, saying: "Unclear, they have unfamiliar faces. I suspect they are in disguise."

"Where are they? I will go and see for myself."

Lu Yan stated.

Li Quan told Lu Yan the location of where Li Canglin and his team were residing.

Lu Yan used the Shape-shifting Technique, turned into a twenty-something-year-old youth, exited from the back gate of the City Lord’s Mansion, and soon arrived at a separate courtyard.

Finding a corner where no one was present, he flashed his body and was already on the roof, looking inward.

"Huh? Li Canglin?"

Lu Yan immediately saw Li Canglin, who was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, sipping tea.

Obviously, Li Canglin hadn’t bothered with any disguise when he wasn’t going out.

"What is Li Canglin doing in Changfeng City with these people? Testing me?"

Lu Yan speculated.

"I want to see what tricks you are up to."

Lu Yan silently retreated and returned to the City Lord’s Mansion. He instructed Li Quan to pay close attention to Li Canglin and to report any situations to him immediately.

On July 2nd, at night.

Li Canglin’s separate courtyard.

"Take your weapons, we act now."

Li Canglin ordered.

"Young Master, didn’t Lord Wenxuan say to act at dawn on July 3rd? It’s not time yet, why are we acting in advance?"

Yang Hu asked curiously.

"We’re close to midnight on July 3rd, even if we killed Lu Yan a bit earlier, the news wouldn’t reach Baicao City in time."

"If we kill Lu Yan now, we can leave immediately and return to Baicao City before dawn. I can’t bear not seeing Li Cangqing’s despair in facing his death. I want to see if he will fear, cry, and beg me when he faces death. I’m looking forward to such a scene."

Li Canglin spoke.

The other four nodded in agreement, none of them objected.

Then, Li Canglin led the four experts and quietly left the separate courtyard, heading towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

Lu Yan also received the news right away.

"They are coming to the City Lord’s Mansion. Such a grand line-up doesn’t seem like they are just testing me. Could it be that they are going to act?"

A thought flashed through Lu Yan’s mind.

He then ordered his servants and guards to withdraw.

He also instructed Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui to hide in a secret chamber.

The City Lord’s Mansion soon became deserted.

Before long.

Li Canglin and his team of five jumped into the City Lord’s Mansion.

"First, find out where Lu Yan stays, kill him first, then kill the others."

Li Canglin gave his instructions quietly.

"You want to kill me?"

In front of them, a shadow had somehow appeared, staring at them coldly.

If it isn’t Lu Yan, who could it be?

Li Canglin and the others felt their hearts jump in shock, their hair standing on end.

"Lu Yan."

Li Canglin’s gaze turned frosty.

"No need for pretense, Li Canglin, I know it’s you."

Lu Yan said.

"Attack."

Without wasting words, Li Canglin ordered.

"You two, go to those side rooms and kill the others. Lu Yan, I will handle."

The Martial Marquis Level Five expert instructed the two Martial Marquis Level Three experts.

Having spoken, he drew his blade and charged at Lu Yan, moving at an astonishing speed.

The two Martial Marquis Level Three experts rushed towards the side rooms.

"I’ll assist him."

Yang Hu said, following closely behind the Martial Marquis Level Five expert, heading towards Lu Yan.

Lu Yan’s face remained calm as he stood motionlessly.

With a swoosh!

The Martial Marquis Level Five expert leaped into the air and swung his blade towards the top of Lu Yan’s head.

Just as the blade got close, Lu Yan made his move. He twisted his fingers like a claw, reached out and grabbed the opponent’s wrist, twisted it forcefully with a late start but arriving first.

Crack!

The opponent’s wrist broke, the war knife was uncontrollable and slashed back cutting the opponent’s legs.

With a splattering sound, the adversary’s legs were chopped off at the knees. Before he could scream in pain, Lu Yan punched his chest.

The Martial Marquis Level Five expert was knocked back several tens of meters, colliding with a wall and vomiting a mouthful of blood before slumping to the ground.

But he wasn’t dead yet.

Lu Yan intentionally left him alive to interrogate later.

All of this happened in an instant.

By this time, Yang Hu arrived. His pupils contracted, revealing a shocked expression.

But he had rushed too fiercely just now and it was too late to stop, so he could only punch with all his strength.

Lu Yan responded with a punch of his own.

Crash!

Crack!

Yang Hu’s arm twisted and broke.

Lu Yan swiftly attacked, striking Yang Hu with the palm of his hand.

Yang Hu did not fly back tens of meters. He only retreated five or six steps, his face turning flush, blood oozing out. A dense black fog emanated from his body, and the wound on his chest was healing rapidly.

"Run, this man is too strong, we cannot fight him."

Yang Hu roared.

Only then did Li Canglin wake up, cold sweat running down his body, and he turned to run.

He knew that they had all underestimated Lu Yan.

Just one move.

Just one single move, and a powerful Martial Marquis Level Five fighter had been incapacitated.

This power is something even those at the lower end of the Martial Marquis List couldn’t achieve.

At the very least, it would require someone who ranked in the top fifteen of the Martial Marquis List to do this.

But Li Wenxuan had said before that without a Grandmaster, no one could handle Yang Hu.

But based on Yang Hu’s previous reaction, it was clear that he was extremely terrified.

What would instill such terror in Yang Hu? Could it be a Grandmaster?

Could Lu Yan be a Grandmaster? He couldn’t believe it.

But regardless, he had to flee now.

To relay this incident to Li Wenxuan.

But before he had even managed to escape the City Lord’s Mansion, a figure shrouded in a black cloak appeared in front of him.

The figure was tall and robust, and was clutching someone by the throat, like a chicken.

The one being held was one of the two Martial Marquis Level Threes that he had brought with him.

This cloaked figure was naturally Lu Yan’s avatar.

Li Canglin’s pupils contracted, and he shouted’: "Stand down!"

His Bone strength erupted, and he pulled out his sword, slashing towards the avatar.

This avatar was one of the Fiery Gold Body avatars.

He flicked his hand, hitting the sword tip directly.

Dang!

The Divine Weapon level longsword shook violently. Li Canglin couldn’t hold onto his sword due to the strong force transmitted through it, and it slipped from his grasp, flying out.

With a stride, the avatar grabbed hold of Li Canglin’s shoulder, squeezing it forcefully.

Li Canglin felt intense pain in his shoulder, his bones shattered. It felt as if a mountain was pressing against his shoulder. His legs bent, and with a thump, he fell to his knees.

On the other side, Lu Yan’s eyes were cold as he looked at Yang Hu.

"Martial Spirit."

Lu Yan whispered.

There was a Martial Spirit alongside Li Canglin.

Looking at Li Canglin himself, there were no abnormalities under his injury. Apparently, it wasn’t him. Then, this Martial Spirit obviously had nothing to do with Li Canglin.

Could it be Li Wenxuan?

These thoughts flashed through his mind, but he didn’t stop. He lunged at Yang Hu.

Lu Yan’s body began to glow with a reddish-gold color: the Vajra Indestructible Skill and Fiery Gold Body were activated simultaneously. He threw a punch.

Rumble!

As his fist came forward, it even caused an explosion sound. The air in front of his fist was rapidly compressed, forming an air wave.

The terrifying oppressive feeling made Yang Hu gasp for breath. He let out a low growl, his face twisted in a ferocious expression. Bones continuously extended out from within his body.

These bones enveloped his body.

His head, body and limbs were rapidly wrapped in white bones, much like a set of bone armor.

At the same time, Yang Hu also threw a punch, colliding with Lu Yan’s fist.

With a loud thud, the bones on Yang Hu’s fist shattered, and the fist and arm which were wrapped in bone were also blown into mush.

Lu Yan kept moving, and struck Yang Hu’s chest with another punch.

The bones enveloping Yang Hu’s chest also shattered, and his chest was blasted through, flesh and blood flying.

Yang Hu roared, black fog enveloped him, and a black shadow emerged.

The shadow appeared like a white bone skull. In its eye sockets, two green flames flickered, emitting a terrifying aura.

But Lu Yan was not the same as before.

Back then in Lingwang City’s Blood Land Vein, when he encountered that Martial Spirit and the black shadow appeared, he fled.

But now, there was no need.

"So this is a Martial Spirit? I would like to see if the so-called undying body can truly be undying under my hand."

Bang!

Taking a step forward, he launched another rapid assault.

In an instant, he threw over a dozen punches, all of them landing on the White Bone Shadow.

Although the White Bone Shadow fought back desperately, it was in vain. Against Lu Yan’s formidable power, it was completely crushed.

In the next moment, the White Bone Shadow exploded.

And Yang Hu’s body, under Lu Yan’s mighty punches, was blown into bits and pieces, with blood and fragments of bone flying everywhere.

But the White Bone Shadow seemed unharmed, connected by strands of black energy, it gathered together again, quickly recovering.

"Indeed, interesting."

Lu Yan attacked once again, breaking the White Bone Shadow into pieces.

Then, the White Bone Shadow let out a strange shriek, reassembling yet again.

Not far away, Li Canglin turned to look at this scene, utterly aghast.

He was not terrified that Yang Hu was a Martial Spirit, but of Lu Yan’s power.

A Martial Spirit of Martial Marquis Level Five was as fragile as a chicken in Lu Yan’s hands.

Grandmaster!

An absolute Grandmaster.

A Grandmaster hidden so well, running a martial arts center in Baicao City, pretending to be weak all day.

What a cunning old fox.

He couldn’t help but worry for Li Wenxuan.

Could Li Wenxuan fight Lu Yan?

"It has recovered again, it indeed is strange, but its aura has weakened a bit."

Lu Yan observed the White Bone Shadow closely.

He was not in a hurry to kill it completely; this was a good opportunity to study Martial Spirits.

This thing was too strange, and he was sure to encounter it again in the future, so it was a good opportunity to study.

Bang!

Lu Yan launched another round of attacks, shattering the White Bone Shadow.

Then he waited for the White Bone Shadow to recover.

It was clear that its aura had weakened yet again.

But the extent of this wasn’t particularly great.
