Chapter 215 - 190: The Ultimate Knife Technique, Success_1

Lu Yan hadn’t run far.

Boom boom boom!

On another side, the ground roared with the thundering sound of a huge creature charging forward.

It was a rhinoceros, robust and immense, its entire body flushed red. Like a small mountain, crushing everything in its path. Any object blocking its way, whether trees or large rocks, was utterly shattered.

"The third Second-rank Master, this time, are all the Monster Kings of Kunwu Mountain coming for this? All because of one Immortal Bone, is it necessary to use such force?"

Muttering in his heart, Lu Yan didn’t stop running wildly.

Behind him, the black panther was catching up, the distance between them rapidly closing.

The giant bear, with its short legs, was also rushing towards him.

Just at this time, Lu Yan’s eyes lit up.

Top Martial Arts’ prime knife technique of the ninth level finally reached the state of Unity of Man and Martial Arts.

"Can it be incorporated?"

Lu Yan’s heart tightened.

If it can’t be, all this danger will be for naught.

Luckily, Lu Yan’s worry did not come true.

When his knife technique reached the Unity of Man and Martial Arts, shape-shifting avatars of the Martial Arts appeared around the Dao Book. They collided and fused into one.

The next moment, the fusion of nine avatars resulted in a new one.

Atop the avatar, a line of text read: "Top Martial Arts, unnamed, Unity of Man and Martial Arts."

A large quantity of information poured into his mind.

This information was about Top Martial Arts knife technique. It felt like he had pondered it for countless years, and it became a part of his muscle memory.

At the same time, the eleven Bone strengths in Lu Yan’s body were dramatically transforming.

Towards a stronger, more condensed direction.

The transformation was incredibly quick.

Lu Yan’s entire skeleton tingled slightly as the first Bone strength transformed successfully.

Then the second, the third, the fourth...

Hum!

The Red Blood Blade in Lu Yan’s hand hummed, as if dancing in joy at the convergence with the Bone strength.

Hisst, hisst!

The black panther caught up at this moment, reaching out its claw towards Lu Yan.

Lu Yan turned around, pushing his Bone strength, and slashed.

With a sound, Lu Yan was pushed back by five to six meters, while the black panther retreated seven to eight meters.

In a head-to-head clash, Lu Yan gained the upper hand.

Plus, Lu Yan saw a deep bloody scratch on the black panther’s claw, penetrating the bone.

The black panther looked at Lu Yan with disbelief in its eyes.

It couldn’t understand how Lu Yan, who was far weaker just moments ago, had suddenly gained enough strength to confront it and even hurt it.

"How much my combat capability has improved..."

Lu Yan was overjoyed.

You must know, the transformation of the Bone strengths within his body was not even complete yet.

The sixth, seventh...

While the black panther hesitated, the Bone strengths within Lu Yan’s body had completely transformed into eleven new Bone strengths.

These Bone strengths were more refined, more domineering, and more arrogant than before.

Each Bone strength was like a sword, a divine sword with unmatched sharpness. Once it strikes, it destroys everything.

Coupled with the Top Martial Arts knife technique, it is infinitely powerful.

Roar!

The giant bear arrived at this time, swinging its paw towards Lu Yan.

This time, Lu Yan didn’t dodge but instead activated all his eleven Bone strengths simultaneously, slashing down.

In the moment of his slash, the Red Blood Blade emitted a brilliant light, with blade aura surrounding it.

Plop!

The bear’s incredibly robust fur and skin were torn apart by the Red Blood Blade, almost ripping off half of the bear’s paw.

The giant bear roared in pain, and retreated backward. Then it roared, causing the Energy of Earth Blood to surge towards the bear and coat it like a layer of bloody armor.

Boosted by the Energy of Earth Blood, the bear’s injuries were healing much faster than ordinary, but still far slower when compared to a Martial Spirit.

With a roar, the giant bear lunged at Lu Yan again, its enormous bear paw sweeping across like a giant door, leaving a thick dust trail in its wake.

Lu Yan instigated his eleven paths of Bone Strengths and slashed down with all his might once again.

This slash used the mysteries of the Top Martial Arts knife technique, with significant enhancements in both speed and power.

Clang!

The knife and bear paw collided, sending sparks flying. After a moment of deadlock, the Energy of Blood coating the bear paw cracked, getting cut by the Red Blood Blade, leaving a bleeding groove on it.

The giant bear’s massive body retreated five to six steps.

Lu Yan, on the other hand, stood his ground before swinging his blade again to repel the black panther. Then he turned around and sprinted towards Kunwu Mountain’s exit.

With the support of the top Bone Strengths, his Cloud Walk speed was even faster, like a swift gust of wind or a ghost.

However, Lu Yan’s disadvantage lay in his low Cultivation Level, which at Martial Marquis Level Five meant his speed was still slower than the black panther’s.

Black panther spread its wings, pursuing Lu Yan.

When the black panther got close, Lu Yan turned around to slash again, repelling the panther, before sprinting off again, with the panther continuing its pursuit.

Aside from the black panther, the giant bear and that rhinoceros couldn’t match Lu Yan’s speed and were left behind.

As for the Giant Ape, the Big Serpent, and others, they also couldn’t keep up.

In this way, after engaging the black panther several times, Lu Yan finally passed the final dozen miles and funneled out of Kunwu Mountain.

Roooar!

The black panther, too, chased out of Kunwu Mountain and pounced towards Lu Yan.

Clank!

Lu Yan responded with a reverse slash that struck the black panther’s body, reducing half of its paw with a squelch. The huge body of the panther retreated more than ten meters, staring at Lu Yan with evident fear.

"Indeed, outside of Kunwu Mountain, the strength of the Monster King diminished considerably. The black panther is equivalent to a standard second-rank master, while my combat power can crush the ordinary second-rank master. It’s unclear how much of a gap remains between me and the third-level master,"

Lu Yan thought to himself.

After integrating into Top Martial Arts, his combat power increased more than twice.

It was mainly reflected in two aspects.

The first was Martial Arts, and his knife technique had become a top-notch Knife Technique, Unity of Man and Martial Arts, which was much stronger than first-class Martial Arts.

The second were his bones, strengthened by training in Top Martial Arts, were considerably stronger than those trained with first-class Martial Arts.

It was like the difference in Qi-blood between first-class and second-class martial arts, but the gap was even greater.

Lu Yan did not continue to attack the black panther, he simply turned and walked away.

But, after only taking a few steps, he abruptly looked up.

Above him was a giant blood-colored eagle soaring, which swiftly plummeted down towards him.

You could see two figures standing on the back of the giant blood-colored eagle.

One figure was a human, an old man dressed in ordinary linen, his hands on his back.

Next to the human was a golden monkey.

This monkey was not tall, only one head taller than the old man, just over two meters, but very robust, muscles bulging like metal.

"This isn’t the same eagle as before, it’s the second one. That man and monkey are terrifying,"

Lu Yan felt an intense sense of danger.

When the blood-colored eagle was still tens of meters away from Lu Yan, the gold monkey jumped down and stomped towards Lu Yan, its power was unmatched, like a meteor falling.

Every muscle in Lu Yan’s body was tense, his gaze fixed on the golden monkey.

When his opponent approached, he made a sudden dash backward.

Boom!

The golden monkey landed on the ground, causing the earth to quake and a large pit was formed, with rubble flying everywhere.

Starting from this pit, cracks spread out in all directions, like a spider’s web.

Bang!

The golden monkey stomped with both feet, like a flash of golden lightning, it attacked Lu Yan, and threw a punch.

The power of the punch was roaring, the air in front of the fist was rapidly compressed, rippling like water waves.

Even because the punch was too fast, the friction between the fist and the air created flames. Attached at the top of the fist, it was like a punch of flame.

Lu Yan held the knife in both hands, concentrating all his strength into his hands, and slashed out. The blade’s radiance was dazzling.

Boom!

The sharp blade instantaneously split through the compressed air, slashed at the golden monkey’s fist, and caused a loud roar.

Lu Yan felt his Red Blood Blade hit a mountain of metal, an incomparably strong force surged, and his body was sent flying backwards. After retreating more than thirty meters and landing on the ground, he continued to retreat for over ten meters, leaving behind more than ten deep footprints, before finally stabilizing. He felt a stabbing pain in his hands, trembling slightly, and blood oozed from his fists.

"What terrible power, definitely a third-level master, the strongest Monster King of Kunwu Mountain."

"Although I can crush an ordinary second-rank master, there’s still a considerable gap between me and a third-level master."

Lu Yan’s mind was racing.

After a punch sent Lu Yan flying, the golden monkey made another punch at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan did not confront it head-on, instead dodging with his movements.

The agility of the golden monkey was extraordinary as well. A strike missed and it charged towards Lu Yan again, launching a series of punches.

Lu Yan could not avoid all the attacks and had to defend with his knife when he had no other choice.

By now, other Monster Kings have arrived.

A giant bear, a rhinoceros, a red giant ape, a white tiger, and others. However, they all stood in a row without making a move.

The Fiery Gold Body Avatar also rushed out from Kunwu Mountain standing at a distance, also not taking a step forward.

The second blood-colored giant eagle also landed on the ground. The old man stood on the eagle’s back examining Lu Yan.

Boom!

Lu Yan once again took on a strike from the golden monkey, forcing him to retreat continuously under the immense power.

"This is bad."

Lu Yan’s face was grave.

Just dealing with a golden monkey was already difficult enough, and on the side, there were many more Monster Kings.

The key point was that the elderly human hadn’t made his move yet, but he gave off an unfathomable feeling.

Moreover, Lu Yan had very few cards left up his sleeve.

His biggest trump card was the Top Martial Arts Avatar.

However, the strength of the Avatar was definitely not as good as the main body. Even if it came out, it would be hard for it to offer much help.

The most it could do was to detonate itself, buying some time.

Lu Yan’s mind was ticking quickly, thinking of a strategy.

"Old monkey, step back and let me try,"

At this point, the human old man jumped, pouncing towards Lu Yan, speed flurry than even the golden monkey.

The golden monkey appeared to obey the old man’s command, and sprung backwards upon hearing the command.

Meanwhile, the old man had already reached Lu Yan and slashed his palm towards him, colliding with the Red Blood Blade.

A sound reverberated, Lu Yan’s body was forced to retreat, while the old man remained steadfast.

"Another third-level master!"

Lu Yan’s heart sank.

People say Zhao Tiansheng is the best Martial Cultivator of Lingdong. It seems they didn’t take this old man into consideration."

"Hmm, interesting."

The old man issued a light sigh and looked slightly astonished. His form blurred and, like a ghost, he attacked Lu Yan again, wielding another palm strike.
