Level Up in Martial World

While they were in the process of their worldview collapsing, Lu Zhen made his move in almost simultaneous succession.

He used his strong Mental Power, infused with the lightning, to attack everyone here and present.

Bang!

Blood splattered everywhere in quick succession, bodies falling to the ground with a sickening thud, and everything became almost completely silent after this.

The Alchemist just stood there with a trembling body, the compass hovering above his head, starting to crack slowly like cobwebs before entirely breaking apart in a few breaths.

The thunder from outside directly broke through the barrier and entered Lu Zhen's body in one go.

"Any last words, Alchemist?" he spoke in a cold tone. The lightning spewed out of his eyes and surged through his body.

He looked like a god…

A God of Lightning! The destroyer of worlds!

"You… cannot kill me."

The Alchemist called out with a roar, his eyes bloodshot.

"Why can't I kill you?"

Lu Zhen just chuckled in amusement and then used the power of the lightning, combined with his Mental Power, straight at him.

Suddenly, a barrier erupted out from the Alchemist and protected him from the lightning.

A hazy fog spread everywhere, to the point that even the lightning from the sky seemed to be scared of it and didn't even dare to approach here.

"What is this?" Lu Zhen felt a terrifying pressure descend on him, his pupils narrowed in horror.

Everything was covered by fog, but Lu Zhen could see it—a faint figure in front of him!

Thump! Thump!!

His heart rang like a drum, and a sense of oppression invaded the surroundings.

Lu Zhen just stood there in a daze as a majestic old man with greyed hair appeared in front of him.

He wore a golden crown and a yellow imperial robe, filled with dragons intricately woven into the fabric.

"This feeling…"

Lu Zhen touched his face; it felt like every cell in his body was screaming at him to escape. The instinct of death completely overtook him, and he just stood there in a daze for a moment.

"Junior, why are you trying to kill our Alchemist?"

The old man spoke in a majestic voice and a kind smile, despite his royal demeanor.

Lu Zhen joined his hands together and bowed respectfully; he wasn't one who didn't respect power:

"I want to kill this Alchemist because I want to."

He straightened and spoke with an expressionless face.

"What if I want to protect him?" the old man raised an eyebrow.

"Then I must fight you as well," Lu Zhen spoke without fear, his gaze fierce and determined as if nothing could affect him.

The person in front of him might be the only Separation and Union Martial Artist in the world, but he could feel it—this old man felt like an illusion instead of a real one. This was what his Mental Power could tell.

Another name for Mental Power is the sixth sense, after all!

"Haha."

The old man started to laugh after a pause.

"Lord Lin, this junior doesn't know how to court death; please teach him the way." The Alchemist appeared behind him, his eyes glazed, with pure hatred shimmering in his eyes as he looked at Lu Zhen.

"Hmm," the old man paused, "Alchemist, I only helped you because you promised to give me that pill. My only job is your protection and nothing else."

The Alchemist frowned but couldn't dare to disobey and only bowed his head.

Lu Zhen looked at this with a calm expression.

"Lord Lin? Are you the only Separation and Union Martial Artist among the entire human race?"

"You have eyes."

Lin Yazhou nodded his head. "I have been defending the entire human race for decades now."

"Then shouldn't you be guarding there?" Lu Zhen asked, still with a completely calm expression and nonchalant demeanour.

"Hmm." Lin Yazhou narrowed his eyes while looking at Lu Zhen.

"You already know the truth; why act stupid?"

Lu Zhen's expressionless face spoke:

"Senior is overestimating this junior."

"Haha, why hide it from me when you can't hide it!" Lin Yazhou laughed while tilting his head towards the sky, the thunder in the sky sending bolts after bolts suddenly stopped.

"Do you know the power of Separation and Unity Martial Artist?"

He pointed his hand towards the sky and tightened his fist.

Swish!

The sky gradually cleared of the clouds, revealing the sun almost in an instantaneous way.

Lu Zhen felt his connection to the light disappear from the world.

"I don't know how you were able to have your mental power increase by so much, but a lucky encounter won't make you an expert, junior."

"I don't know about anything, but I need to kill him today." Lu Zhen pointed at the Alchemist with a cold face.

"Did you not listen to me?"

Lin Yazhou shook his hand. "Although you might be arrogant, I can attribute it to you being young, but you cannot kill him no matter what."

"What if I insist?"

"Go ahead and you can try."

"Okay."

Lu Zhen's figure vanished, and the next moment, he already appeared right in front of the Alchemist and punched out with all his strength.

Bang!

The surrounding air trembled, but his fist froze before it could reach the Alchemist.

Lu Zhen wasn't discouraged. With his body alone, his power could barely reach the Second-stage, but if he wanted to reach the First-stage, then he would have to use Intent, which he obviously couldn't…

Mental Energy surged out of his body, and the lightning stored in his physique was both used at the same time!

Zhhh!

The wind coiled; even though one couldn't see it, a faint outline from the disruption of the surrounding made one faintly see its source. If this hit, the man would be dead, and to Lu Zhen's knowledge, one couldn't disrupt an attack that had already been drawn… but…

His knowledge was limited!

Lu Zhen's eyes could faintly see a purple light flash in the span of one-tenth of a breath, and the next moment, he felt the connection sever.

He felt a nauseating headache, making his head spin round and round before he finally fainted on the spot, or so it seemed.
