Chapter 81 - 78 Count to Three_1

The decision to wait seven days was a calculated move by Wu Daoyuan.

Having just fought a battle, the Liu Family would undoubtedly be on high alert in the first few days, fearing the Wu Family might take risks and strike again.

But after seven days, if the Wu Family had not made a move, their alertness would certainly decrease.

With the plan set, the entire Wu Family started operating quietly.

Wu Fuhai’s residence.

"Both of you, I have persuaded the Wu Family to go to full-scale war with the Liu Family, you guys promised, don’t go back on your words now," Wu Fuhai said.

"Rest assured, the debt you owe to the Wei Family can be written off. Moreover, once the Liu Family is annihilated, the Clan Elders promised to support you as Clan Leader of the Wu Family. After all, that old fellow Wu Daoyuan won’t live for many more years," one of the Bei Clan brothers said.

It wasn’t known to the others in the Wu Family, but in fact, the Bei Clan brothers had pledged allegiance to the Wei Family years ago and had become high-ranking retainers.

Wu Fuhai, in his lust, played around with a woman, who turned out to be a member of the Wei Family. Although she wasn’t a particularly important figure, the Wei Family took this opportunity to gain leverage over him.

They then sent the Bei Clan brothers to get close to Wu Fuhai, and under threats and temptations, Wu Fuhai was firmly controlled by the Wei Family.

"In the upcoming battle against the Liu Family, we brothers will join hands with Wu Daoyuan to kill the Ancestor of Liu Family. At that time, we will deliberately hold back, letting Wu Daoyuan and Ancestor of Liu Family seriously wound each other. We will then kill the Ancestor of Liu Family and controlling Wu Daoyuan will be easy. By then, you will be the master of Wu Family. All you have to do is hand over two Blood Land Veins, and you can maintain the current status of the Wu Family," said the other Bei Clan brother.

"That’s good," Wu Fuhai nodded.

...

Lu Yan now faced a problem; he had run out of Martial Food.

The cultivation of his Man Xiang Body Martial Arts Avatar was about to stop.

He had come in a rush and did not bring much Dried Martial Food with him, he had finished it in one day. There was also some left at his home, but that wasn’t enough. He would need to go buy more.

But when Lu Yan wanted to leave, his path was blocked.

A burly figure stood in front of him, holding a knife and said coldly, "The Liu Family has orders to guard strictly. Without the command of the Liu Family, no one is allowed to leave."

This person was Murong Kai, the captain of the seventh squad.

The original captain of the seventh squad was Sun Xiang. After his death, another member of the Liu Family was appointed as captain, but he was transferred in two years.

Murong Kai, originally the deputy captain of the first squad, just reached his fifth limit-breaking period at that time and was transferred to the seventh squad as captain.

"Captain, I have something urgent at home. I’ll go and come back quickly. It won’t take more than an hour," Lu Yan cupped his fists and said politely.

"No, even a moment won’t do. If anything happens, no one can bear the responsibility," Murong Kai replied coldly.

"Captain, do me a favor. I will watch over Lu Yan’s position for him. Nothing will happen in an hour," Wang Lin also walked over and laughed.

"No, don’t mention it again. If anyone abandons their post, don’t blame me for not giving face," Murong Kai’s face was cold, and his voice was absolute. His Qi-blood was surging, projecting an atmosphere of powerful strength.

Lu Yan’s face grew cold.

Man Xiang Body is not far from Unity of Man and Martial Arts breakthrough. If it is successful, his fighting ability and survival ability would undoubtedly be greatly improved.

Whether he is facing a potential war in the future or secretly rescuing Lu Qingshan and Wang Cui, all required significant martial force.

He must go and buy Martial Food.

Whoever blocks him, is putting him at risk.

"Brother Wang, let everyone else go back," said Lu Yan.

Wang Lin had been with Lu Yan for a long time, and he understood Lu Yan’s intention immediately from his words.

"Disperse everyone, each go on your patrol. Be mindful of your own lives if anything happens," Wang Lin waved his hand. The other members of the seventh squad dispersed one after another and went on their patrols.

Only Lu Yan, Wang Lin, and Murong Kai remained at the scene.

"If you don’t let me pass by the count of three, bear the consequences..." Lu Yan said coldly.

"Bear the consequences, quite big talk, I’d like to see..." Before Murong Kai could finish speaking, there was a thud. A burly figure leapt towards him, casting a large shadow.

A huge palm landed on his face and smashed him hard into the ground.

Without the strength to resist, Murong Kai’s head hit the ground hard, shards of rock flew up. He felt dizzy, his head as if about to split, and blood gushed out from his mouth and nose.

He regathered his senses, mobilizing his Qi-blood desperately struggling, but that huge hand was like a mountain pressing on his face, immovable. He felt like he was suffocating.

"So now, are you going to let me go or not?"

Lu Yan put one hand on Murong Kai’s face, looking down at him from above, and spoke coldly.

Murong Kai nodded desperately, screaming in his heart, what happened to counting to three?

At the same time, he was also terrified. Lu Yan’s power wasn’t just second limit-breaking, it far exceeded his own five-time limit-breaking, giving him the illusion of facing a Martial Marquis.

Killing him would be a piece of cake.

He was scared.

Lu Yan slightly relaxed his grip, released his hand and said, "I believe you know what you should say and what you should not. Don’t think of whistleblowing to the Liu Family. They might not be able to kill me, but if I want to kill you, it’s as easy as turning my hand. Do you understand?"

Murong Kai nodded vigorously.

Lu Yan let go of his hand.

It’s impractical to kill Murong Kai now, because Liu Family would soon be alerted if the team leader was killed.

Moreover, he believes that Murong Kai is not a fool, he would make the correct choice.

Report to the Liu Family and they would let his family go? Unrealistic.

Instead, it would completely offend Lu Yan.

Stepping back, even if Murong Kai whistleblows, Lu Yan is not afraid anymore.

The upgrade of his cultivation level has boosted his confidence a lot. At the same time, it is a critical moment. Even if the Liu Family knew his true power, they wouldn’t deal with him now.

The Liu Family is in need of people now.

Of course, it’s not without risk. What if someone high up in the Liu family has a screw loose?

But Lu Yan has no choice but to do this.

He always considers the pros and cons in his actions.

Just staying put would have no risk of exposure, but the Man Xiang Body would stagnate.

While taking action against Murong Kai carries a slight risk of exposure, it allows him to buy Martial Food, elevating the Man Xiang Body to the Unity of Man and Martial Arts, and greatly enhancing his strength.

Clearly, the latter is more beneficial.

"Sorry to have offended you."

Lu Yan said with a smile, helping Murong Kai up and straightening his messy collar, "Don’t worry, if I have the chance, I will help rescue your family."

Of course, he was just saying that.

After hitting him, naturally, he should give him some sweet words, to reduce the chances of him telling on him as much as possible.

"Thank you, thank you, Mr...Lu," Murong Kai quickly said.

"Huh? Is that not formal? Just call me Lu Yan."

Lu Yan said, keeping a straight face, and then strode away.

First, he went to the Linglan Chamber of Commerce and bought a hundred jin of Dried Martial Food, then returned home and packed up the rest of the Dried Martial Food to take away.

This Dried Martial Food is enough for the Man Xiang Body to elevate to the Unity of Man and Martial Arts.

After packing it up, Lu Yan returned to the Liu Family’s Blood Land Vein, patrolling and gnawing Dried Martial Food.

At this critical moment, he couldn’t care about his stomach. Lu Yan at least gnawed down twenty jin of Dried Martial Food in a day, and the progress of the Man Xiang Body was rapidly improving.

In just four days, the Man Xiang Body promoted from Transcendent 50% to Transcendent 100%, then transformed and broke through to the Unity of Man and Martial Arts.

Lu Yan found a secluded place, practiced the Man Xiang Body, and received the gift of heaven and earth.

His body became even more rugged and muscular, his muscles were like iron casts, and when he was practicing, they swelled up, as if he was a barbaric elephant, his skin rough, like thick armour, greatly increased his defense.

But the increase of Qi-blood volume was very small this time, less than 10%, which was within Lu Yan’s expectations.

The thickness of Qi-blood got increased by about 10%.

The improvement brought by the Martial Body is not big, but the improvement that comes with the Man Xiang Body itself is huge. When combined with the Vajra Body, both power and burst strength obtained a massive leap.

"But this figure of mine is too intimidating."

Lu Yan looked at his body, those arms as thick as a child’s waist, and muscles like iron, and couldn’t help but exclaim.

Especially that thing down there, majestic and mighty, his heart skipped a beat just from seeing it.

"Might as well make it smaller."

Operating the Vajra Body and Man Xiang Body, his figure began to shrink, and changed back to around one point nine meters tall, with a well-proportioned and muscular physique.

"Next, is the Vajra Fist."

Lu Yan took out the Vajra Fist manual and began to consult it.

As for the Sky Eagle Eye, it will be left for last.

Special Martial Arts are extremely difficult to cultivate and consumes a lot of strength and time. It’s best to leave it for later when he has free time.
