Chapter 153 High Attention

Gao Wanping roared, grabbed the sledgehammer with both hands, and spun his whole body quickly, like a rapidly rotating top. With the weight of the sledgehammer, the power was astonishing.

Lu Yan jumped back to avoid its sharp edge and look for flaws.

Gao Wanping was injured, and such an outburst would naturally not last long. After forcing Lu Yan back, he turned around and ran away.

But how can his speed compare with Lu Yan.

Lu Yan took a few steps and caught up with Gao Wanping.

"roll."

Gao Wanping swung his sledgehammer and struck.

Lu Yan slashed out with his sword and exchanged moves with the opponent, knocking Gao Wanping back repeatedly.

"Sir, I know you want the master-level evil crystal. I can give it to you, but please let me go."

Gao Wanping shouted.

There was nothing he could do. After being injured, he was no longer a match for Lu Yan. If he continued to hold on, his life might be at stake here.

"Okay, take it out."

Lu Yan said.

"I swear, if I hand over the evil crystal to you, you will never do it again."

Gao Wanping said.

"Okay, I swear"

Uh-huh!

Before Lu Yan could finish speaking, he jumped towards Gao Wanping again, the light of his sword cut through the void, and the sound of thunder sounded.

This is the Nine-Slash God Thunder Sword.

The Nine-Severing Divine Thunder Sword is fierce and domineering. The nine swords are connected in a series, like a continuous wave. Each sword is stronger than the last.

Best used to attack opponents who are not as powerful as yourself.

How could it be possible to let Gao Wanping go?

Gao Wanping is a member of the Gao family in Nanyi. If you take away his evil crystal and then let him go, you are letting the tiger go back to the mountain.

It would be strange if the other party doesn't hold grudges.

Dead people don't hold grudges.

Such a powerful enemy must be killed completely.

"mean."

Gao Wanping was obviously on guard against Lu Yan. As soon as Lu Yan made a move, he swung his sledgehammer to block it.

Dang Dang Dang.

The two of them had no unnecessary bells and whistles, they were facing each other head-on and constantly colliding.

After five stabs, Gao Wanping's face turned pale and his arms were numb.

After six stabs, he spurted out a mouthful of blood.

With the seventh blow, he took more than ten steps back, his arm trembling, and the sledgehammer almost flew out of his hand.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Yan slashed out the eighth sword. Wherever the blade passed, there was a burst of thunder, and the blade seemed to be carrying thousands of thunders.

With this strike, Gao Wanping's sledgehammer flew out, and the sword struck him on the head without stopping.

Half of Gao Wanping's head flew out, his eyes widened with unwillingness.

In a head-on confrontation, he was killed by Lu Yan with force.

This was originally his strength.

He has an innate martial body and three bones. If he was not injured, how could Lu Yan kill him.

Lu Yangui sheathed his sword, came to Gao Wanping's body, and touched it in his arms. Suddenly, an evil crystal the size of a child's fist appeared in Lu Yan's hand.

"The Grandmaster Level Evil Crystal is enough to lock in the top three."

Lu Yan smiled.

Then he groped around Gao Wanping again and found a cloth bag on his waist.

Lu Yan opened it and saw that there were some evil crystals inside, about a dozen pieces, all of which were Wuhou-level evil crystals.

There was also a stack of gold and silver tickets, totaling about fifty thousand taels of silver.

Not a small gain.

After putting it away, Lu Yan left here and headed towards Lingwang City.

Lu Yan didn't stop all the way, he went at full speed, and soon he returned to Lingwang City.

After returning to Lingwang City, Lu Yan was not in a hurry to hand over the evil crystal, but waited quietly.

In the blink of an eye, three days later.

The great masters pursued him for thousands of miles, all the way to the vicinity of the Demon Ridge Mountains.

On the way, he killed three more master-level monsters in a row.

Unfortunately, the Demonic King was not able to stay, and the Demonic King eventually fled into the Demon Ridge Mountains.

The martial spirit also lost his trace during the pursuit.

At the foot of the Demon Ridge Mountains, a total of eighteen grandmasters gathered together, including the Zhao family's grandmaster.

"Everyone, this time the evil spirits have suffered heavy losses and their vitality has been severely damaged. It is time to eradicate them completely. I suggest that we rush into the Demon Ridge Mountains, completely kill the evil king, wipe out the evil spirits inside, and reopen the connection between the six counties of Lingdong and the outside world. connect."

Zhao Tiansheng said.

"What the head of the family said is absolutely true. Since the evil riot, the Demon Ridge Mountains have become a forbidden area. It is difficult for us to get out, and few others will take the initiative to come in. This is extremely detrimental to our development. Apart from anything else, those innate martial arts With physical or acquired martial arts, it is difficult to break through the masters. Only by sending them to the Holy Xuan Sect can there be hope."

Another grandmaster of the Zhao family also echoed.

Then, the Tu clan's grandmaster also spoke up, agreeing with Zhao Tiansheng's proposal and agreeing to go into the mountains to quell the evil spirits.

But the masters of other clans remained silent.

"Everyone, what do you think?"

Zhao Tiansheng asked again.

"Clan Chief Zhao, the Demon Ridge Mountains are the home of demons and evil spirits. In ancient times, they were the place where demons fell, filled with strong filthy air. The demons and demons thrived in the Demon Ridge Mountains like a fish in water, and their combat power was much stronger than in the outside world, especially the Demon King. , it’s even more terrifying, if we rush in with just a few people, we might not be able to catch it.”

A master of the Gao family in Nanyi City said.

"Yes, and there must be more evil spirits that have not left the mountains in the Demon Ridge Mountains. We don't know exactly how many there are. If there are other evil evil kings inside, if we enter rashly, we will undoubtedly be a sheep entering a tiger's mouth."

A master of the Qiu family said.

"You two are right. This time the evil spirit has been severely damaged by us. In a short period of time, it should be unable to invade our human territory again. We should go back to recuperate and plan for the long term."

Another grandmaster spoke.

Grandmasters from other grandmaster-level sects also nodded.

Zhao Tiansheng sighed inwardly.

How could he not understand what these masters were thinking?

For the nobles outside Dongshan County, it would be more beneficial for them to leave some evil spirits behind.

The Zhao family of Lingwang City is already the number one clan in the six counties of Lingdong, with ten grandmasters and over a hundred Wuhou. It is so powerful that it overwhelms the other clans.

Other clans can only compete with the Zhao family by joining forces.

The evil spirits left behind in the Demon Ridge Mountains can greatly restrain the Zhao family and even weaken the Zhao family.

If the evil spirits are completely eliminated and no longer restrained by the evil spirits, the Zhao family can free up their hands to slowly encroach on the surrounding forces and accumulate strength. If this continues, there will be no one to compete with them, and in the future they will even be able to unify the six counties of Lingdong.

This is not what other grandmaster-level clans want to see.

In their opinion, they would rather cut off contact with the outside world than make the Zhao family bigger.

"Everyone, this incident is very strange. A master-level martial spirit actually appeared to help the demon and prevent us from killing the demon king. I guess that this demon riot is probably related to the martial spirit. If this matter is not solved completely, , it may cause a big disaster in the future."

Zhao Tiansheng continued to persuade.

"What Patriarch Zhao said is absolutely true, but in my opinion, demons are no longer something to be afraid of, but Wu Ling is something we have to defend against. After returning this time, the various clans should step up investigations and find out Wu Ling."

"Yes, it's okay to be just a martial spirit, but I'm afraid that the other party has secretly developed quite a force."

Several masters spoke one after another.

But he never mentioned anything about going into the mountains to exterminate evil spirits.

It's not that they don't know that Wu Ling is mostly related to evil spirits. They probably want to use evil spirits to block the contact between the six counties of Lingdong and the outside world. In this way, the news will not reach King Ming, and Wu Ling will not be afraid of being killed by King Ming's masters. .

If you can't take the initiative to spread the news, the chances of waiting for King Ming to send someone on his own initiative are too low.

But they only make the choices that are best for them.

Zhao Tiansheng knew that it would be impossible to persuade everyone to go into the mountain and strangle the evil spirits today.

Each of the great master-level clans has their own thoughts.

With Zhao's current strength, he is still unable to command the heroes.

"In this case, I won't force myself. Everyone, please return to Lingwang City. I would like to thank you all for your help this time. The benefits will definitely be considerable."

After saying that, Zhao Tiansheng stood up and glanced at the Demon Ridge Mountains. There was a hint of worry in his old eyes.

Then strode away.

Lingwang City.

Marquis Wu, who went out to hunt evil spirits, gradually returned and began to hand over the evil crystals to exchange for war merits, and then exchange war merits for various resources.

What attracts the most attention is which three people can get the top three spots.

Not all the people who went out to hunt have returned yet, so the final quota for the top three has not yet been determined.

Moreover, there is a piece of news that is gradually spreading in Lingwang City.

There was a master-level demon who was seriously injured and dying, and was besieged by many top Wuhou.

In that battle, many top Wuhou were killed by the giant bear Yaoxie, but in the end the giant bear Yaoxie also died in the mountains and forests, and the Yaoxie crystal was taken away.

Everyone is speculating, which lucky person has obtained the master-level evil crystal?

A few days later, after almost everyone returned and the number of people who turned in the evil crystals gradually decreased, Lu Yan came to the Affairs Office.

"Are you a master-level evil crystal?"

The two old men in the affairs office widened their eyes in shock.

"It's my luck, junior. There was a grandmaster-level giant bear that was seriously injured and dying. Junior happened to pass by and took advantage of it."

Lu Yan said.

"So you are the lucky one."

An old man sighed, showing envy.

Lu Yan was also helpless.

Obtaining the Grandmaster-level Demonic Crystal, whether early or late, is destined to attract attention.

Fortunately, the identity of 'Lu Ren' is a one-time use. Just be high-profile and disappear when you get the benefits.

"The Grandmaster-level evil crystal is no small matter. We can't make the decision. We need to let the Grandmaster personally inspect it. Please wait a moment."

The other Lao He finished speaking and left in a hurry.

After waiting for only half a day, the old man respectfully led a burly middle-aged man forward.

"Meet the Grandmaster."

Lu Yan's heart trembled and he bowed in salute.

"Um."

The burly man nodded, picked up the Giant Bear Demonic Crystal and examined it. After a while, he said: "It is indeed the Grandmaster-level Demonic Crystal. Little guy, you are in good luck."

"A fluke, a fluke."

Lu Yan continued.

"The Grandmaster-level Demonic Crystal is worth three thousand battle merits. Please count his other Demonic Crystals and calculate how many battle merits he has in total."

The burly man ordered the two old men.

The two old men quickly poured out the other evil crystals from Lu Yan's bag.

Evil crystals of different sizes suddenly covered the table.

This time, even the burly man was slightly moved and said: "Obtaining the Grandmaster-level evil crystals depends on luck, but being able to obtain so many Wuhou-level evil crystals is not luck, but strength. It seems that you are innate." Martial body.”

"Senior is really a keen eye, and junior is indeed an innate martial body."

Lu Yan replied.

The burly man nodded and said nothing more.
