Level Up in Martial World

50 Kidnap?

Lu Zhen was bored of toying with Xia Long, and he decided to put an end to their encounter. He raised his hand and executed a slashing motion. The mere movement of his hand triggered a powerful force that mimicked the swing of a saber swing as if lu zhen had really swung a saber.

With a mocking tone, Lu Zhen taunted Xia Long, "This is what is called a wind slash."

In this world, combat arts were essentially a fusion of physics and superhuman abilities. If one possessed enough raw strength, they could replicate the techniques of combat arts without the need for formal training in those arts.

Lu Zhen, despite lacking knowledge of combat arts similar to Xia Long's, could rely on his immense strength to produce similar moves. Although the efficiency of this conversion was highly unequal and could be considered trash even, Lu Zhen's sheer power advantage over Xia Long was staggering. When compared, the wind-qi-enhanced combat art that Xia Long employed seemed feeble next to the raw strength Lu Zhen could produce by just applying his saber mastery to his skill.

Xia Long's eyes widened in horror as he witnessed the colossal wind slash bearing down on him. It appeared as though a domineering saber strike was homing in on him. The wind current generated by Lu Zhen's attack surpassed Xia Long's own by at least tenfold.

As expected, Xia Long was filled with dread, and his eyes portrayed his terror. He could only helplessly watch as the wind slash he had unleashed was obliterated, while Lu Zhen's attack continued its inexorable trajectory. Xia Long desperately sought an escape route, but an overwhelming pressure placed him in place. His body became almost immovable, and he found himself incapable of lifting even a finger.

The approaching slash rapidly closed the distance, and in his final moments, tears and mucus mingled on his terrified face.

"I don't want to die..." were Xia Long's last thoughts as Lu Zhen's merciless attack cleaved his body into two. freewe bnovel .com

Xia Long's body, cleaved in two by Lu Zhen's merciless attack, presented a gruesome and horrifying sight. The slash had torn through his flesh, muscles, and bones with incredible force, leaving behind a gruesome scene.

At the point of impact, there was a jagged, gaping wound where his body was severed, with torn and shredded tissue around the edges. Blood, still warm and vibrant, sprayed out from the wound in all directions, forming a crimson arc around the point of impact. The viscera and internal organs within his abdomen were exposed and torn apart.

The two halves of Xia Long's body were disconnected, with each side lying lifelessly on the ground. His limbs splayed out in unnatural positions. His life force rapidly faded as blood continued to pour from the grievous wound, staining the grassy land beneath him a dark, crimson red.

His lifeless eyes lost their lustre, staring vacantly into the abyss.

Seeing Xia Long die so quickly, although it might seem like Xia Long was as weak as a chicken, which he was, and Lu Zhen was bullying a Level 10 villain while he was at Level 100, which was exactly what he was doing, it may seem useless. But at least Lu Zhen got to test his new aura after it resonated with his muscles. So, Lu Zhen was a pretty happy camper.

Of course, Lu Zhen would prefer facing opponents weaker than him at every turn. Slaughtering his way to the top sounded like an efficient path to power. However, he knew that not everyone would be as recklessly self-destructive as Xia Long, who was essentially courting death.

With this in mind, Lu Zhen began contemplating strategies for dealing with the more formidable adversaries he would inevitably face in the future, all with the goal of levelling up faster.

"Let's go now," Lu Zhen said as he looked at the three people who were still fast asleep with a hint of bitterness.

"What should I do with her?" Lu Zhen pondered with some trouble. Now he was facing a dilemma with this girl.

He couldn't simply let her go. Killing her was out of the question because, regardless of the circumstances, he had ended her cousin's life.

Although Xia Mei might choose to keep this incident to herself, it was likely that she would still need to explain Xia Long's death. Lu Zhen was reluctant to leave any potential evidence behind that could lead to unforeseen trouble he didn't ask for.

The Xia family, like the Lu family, was one of the major families, and they would likely employ their full resources to avenge their young master if they discovered what happened. They wouldn't hesitate to confront the Lu family, as not taking action would be a matter of losing face. And a matter of losing face means that they might start to decline.

While Lu Zhen wasn't afraid of them, he considered the possibility of them sending their ancestor, a first-rank martial artist, after him if they somehow became brain dead. In such a scenario, his life would be in danger because although the Lu family also had a first-rank martial artist, accidents could happen, and he didn't want to live in fear. Therefore, it was crucial not to be discovered.

And it wasn't pleasant for Lu Zhen to leave such evidence, even if he wasn't discovered. How could he trust someone he had just met, even if she was a beauty? It didn't mean anything to him if she didn't have real value.

After all, the world was vast, and there were countless beauties among them.

However, there was a problem: he couldn't kill her. Unlike the lustful Xia Long, who had failed to recognize the biggest loophole, Lu Zhen understood that killing her would inevitably leave traces, no matter how meticulous he was. From what he remembered, Inner disciples were still valued in any sect, and they received teachings from at least second-stage martial artists. The sect was sure to investigate if one of its disciples went missing, especially if it involved an inner disciple. The Pink Autumn Sect was even larger than the Lu family, and Lu Zhen had no desire to invite further trouble.

Lu Zhen knew that until he became a first-class martial artist, he had to act cautiously. Only then could he act without hesitation.

Pondering his options, Lu Zhen frowned, realizing that there was no easy solution to this troublesome matter.

"Women really bring me trouble," Lu Zhen mused bitterly.

After contemplating for some time, Lu Zhen finally had a simple idea of what to do.

"Let's kidnap her," Lu Zhen decided. It wasn't an ideal solution, but it seemed to be the best option available.

Without hesitation, he instructed Yu Bai as he pointed at Xia Mei, "Old Bai, go gather a rope and some large leaves, about the size of her."

Hearing this, Yu Bai was taken aback and asked, "Young Master, do you mean..."

Lu Zhen simply nodded, and Yu Bai left to procure the items Lu Zhen needed with hints of reluctancy.
