The Strongest Devouring Upgrade

Chapter 8: Attack on the return journey



According to the Cangwu national calendar, the turn of the mid-spring and late spring every year, that is, the fifteenth day after the vernal equinox, is the ancestor worship festival.

It is April, the atmosphere is warming up, and the grass grows up. Whether it is ordinary people in the market or a family of high-ranking practitioners, large-scale ancestor worship will be held on this day.

But for the Lu family in Wanqiu City, this year's ancestor worship festival has special significance.

As the head of the family, Lu Songyin, ends the retreat, members of the family who have reached the age of sixteen in the past two years will undergo a second blood test since birth.

To some extent, this bloodline test will determine the upper limit of a cultivator's achievements in the future.

While the members of the Lu family and the people in the mansion were preparing intensively, Lu Ping'an was walking leisurely on the way back to Wanqiu City.

In his leisure time, he also used a piece of spirit animal skin to exchange a large bunch of candied haws from a vendor who went to the city to go to the market, and he ate at the same time.

Although there are dangers in the Lu Mansion, if you don't rely on the power of the family and become a casual practitioner, it will be difficult for you to follow the path of practice in the future, so Lu Ping An decided to come back.

In addition, the owner of the family is about to leave the customs, so the little people who want to come should also converge.

"Hahaha! If there is a way to heaven, you don't go, and there is no way to hell, but you can do it. You are so courageous, you dare to come back."

"Yeah, it's you."

When he was about ten miles away from the city gate, Lu Ping'an stopped when he heard the sound and looked up and found that Zhang Xuan had been chasing him.

Zhang Xuan looked at Lu Pingan's eyes, full of excitement.

Originally, he had given up looking for Lu Ping'an's body and was about to go back to accept the master's punishment, but he didn't know that the three of them actually ran into Lu Ping'an on the way back to the city.

This is really nowhere to be found after breaking through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all!

On the other side, Lu Pingan had a calm complexion, carefully inserting the bunch of candied haws into the mud on the side of the road to fix it. It didn't look like it was facing three murderous killers.

"Jinbiao, come on!"

Zhang Xuan raised his hand and ordered Jin Biao, who was standing behind him, while observing Lu's every move.

This time, he would never let Lu Ping'an escape again.

"Yes!" Jin Biao replied in a deep voice, then used the Escape Technique to escape into the ground, and came straight to Lu Ping An.

Lu Ping's arms drooped, always staring straight ahead, with no intention of resisting, as if standing still waiting for death.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Zhang Xuan's mouth rose, as if Lu Ping's head had been decapitated.

However, in the next instant, his cheek twitched suddenly, and he exclaimed: "Jinbiao! Come back!"

Unfortunately, it is too late.

Lu Pingan took out the flying sword from his sleeve, attached aura to it, clasped his finger on the hilt, and shot it straight toward the ground bulge in front.

Although the escape technique is convenient for lurking close to the body, it is not suitable for hard soil, and the location of the operator is easy to find.

And because of the loss of vision, it will become a living target.

Of course, Jin Biao knew this too well, but considering that Lu Pingan only had the strength of the four levels of Martial Realm and limited attack methods, he didn't care at all.

As a result, Jin Biao didn't want to understand until he died of breath, what exactly was Lu Ping's use to attack himself at a depth of one foot underground.

"Well, yes, the ground mouse should be the way to die." Lu Ping'an nodded in satisfaction and said to himself.

"You don't want to be rampant, take your life!"

When a companion who had worked with him for many years was killed, Zhang Xuan's heart was filled with grief and anger.

Lu Ping'an's strength grew weirdly, Zhang Xuan did not dare to have any reservations, and took out all the treasures under his box.

"Oh? Flash scroll?"

Lu Ping'an didn't expect that these assassins could afford expensive spell scrolls. They were caught off guard and went blind for a short time.

But even so, he still didn't panic.

Taking advantage of Lu Ping's loss of vision, Zhang Xuan quickly got close, gripping the handle of the Emei thorn, and piercing his heart.

when! when!

Just as the thorns cut through Lu Pingan's coat and was about to penetrate his heart, the thorns of Kuangzhan opened at the same time.

With the dull sound of two gold and iron intertwining, Zhang Xuanhu's mouth cracked and his hands were gone.

"Say! Who instructed you behind?"

Lu Pingan pinched Zhang Xuan's neck with one hand, lifted it off the ground, and hovered in the air.

Although Zhang Xuan had already mobilized the aura in his body and gathered in his neck for defense, in front of Lu Ping An, who possessed the talent of King Kong Ape power, this aura defense wall only lasted for less than half a breath before it was all broken.

"Oh!" Zhang Xuan vomited blood, shuddered all over, begging for mercy with difficulty, "My son, I beg you, I'm also the servant of the Lu Family!"

Hearing this, Lu Pingan's heart moved slightly, but his expression remained unchanged, and he continued to ask: "Stop talking nonsense! Answer my question, who is under your command?"

"Yes... It's the Great Elder... Ah!"

As soon as Zhang Xuangang uttered Lu Tianwang's nickname, Lu Ping'an cut his throat.

Although he is not addicted to killing, a dog that bit his master and betrayed his master is no longer necessary.

In the same way, the remaining fifth was also killed by Lu Pingan on the way to escape.

So far, the three killers sent by Lu Tianwang have never survived.

Lu Pingan solved Zhang Xuan's trio, using less than a bag of cigarettes before and after, and was not witnessed by other civilians.

Of course, as a descendant of the Lu family, there is no responsibility for killing someone outside the city.

After retracting the mysterious flying sword, Lu Ping'an dragged the bodies of Zhang Xuan's trio into the distant bushes and searched them one by one.

As he expected, all three of them wore rooted skins, and they had worn them more than once, and they could no longer distinguish their original appearance.

In addition, Lu Pingan also found a broken storage bag, a spell scroll, and a few low-grade spirit stones on the three of them.

Overall, it is not a small gain.

"The devouring system is activated, and the blood of the nearby Huang Tier high-grade human race is detected.

Assimilation side effects: none

Five Elements Attribute Potential: Soil

System recommendations: It is recommended to swallow. "

Lu Pingan activated the Devouring System and tested the bloodline qualifications of the three.

Among them, Jinbiao and Laowu are both high-ranking bloodlines, barely meeting the requirements of cultivation.

However, to Lu Ping'an's surprise, Zhang Xuan's bloodline turned out to be a top-grade Huang Tier, which was even higher than his descendants of the Lu family.

Even in the Lu Family, there are only a handful of young people with Huang Tier bloodlines. Zhang Xuan is so talented, but he becomes an eagle dog, which really wastes the gift of God.

"Huh! It's risky. If he was born in a big family, or cultivated a higher level of exercises, I probably stopped cooking during the first battle."

Lu Pingan took a long breath and said to himself with lingering fears.

"Confirm swallowing." Lu Ping'an used his palm against Zhang Xuan's Tianying acupoint and confirmed to the system.

Although the second-level Devouring System can obtain the human bloodline of the middle rank of the Profound Rank, Lu Ping'an is very clear that in today's Wanqiu City, those with the bloodline of the Profound Rank are all in the True Martial Realm, and even the strong in the Yuan Wu Realm.

Going to trouble them is simply looking for death.

"Forget it, anyway, the bloodline bar has a refund function, so let's make do with his first." Lu Ping'an comforted himself.

"The blood source is detected, the palm acquisition function is unlocked, and it starts to swallow.

Human-specific:

Comprehension: +128

Five elements attributes: additional soil attributes (unlocked)

The bloodline rank of the body after being swallowed:..."

Lu Ping'an listened to the announcement of the system's human voice. At first, he was quite calm, but when he heard the last item, his eyes suddenly widened, and he could hardly believe his ears.

"Hey, you won't fail, how could my bloodline rank so high?" Lu Ping'an asked incredulously.

"Troubleshooting begins...Troubleshooting results: no suspicious items were found." The system voice replied.

"Uh... alright."

Lu Ping'an scratched the back of his head, saying that this should be the same as the so-called "three heads surpassed Zhuge Liang".

It seems that the fusion of blood is not simply one plus one equals two. Sometimes it will produce an effect greater than two, or even far greater than two.

However, to understand the specific laws, I am afraid it will take a long time to summarize.

Having obtained Zhang Xuan's blood, Lu Ping'an dug a deep pit nearby and buried the bodies of the three people in it.

After all, he had acquired the blood of other people and took a big advantage, and finally presented a burial service, even if it was a thank you from Lu Pingan.

Although Zhang Xuan's space storage bag was broken with a big hole and couldn't be used, it was a high-level magic weapon after all. Lu Ping'an was not willing to throw it away. After being neatly stacked, he took it away with other trophies.

Half an hour later, Lu Pingan quietly returned to his family residence.

Lu Pingan checked the room for the first time after entering the house and found that there were signs of being turned over. It is estimated that Lu Tianwang had visited his room after he left.

It seems that this place can't live anymore, who knows if Lu Tianwang will do anything here. After thinking about it again and again, Lu Ping deliberately chose the remote alleyway in the mansion and walked towards his former residence.

The Lu Mansion occupies an extremely large area, and most people are busy making sacrifices to their ancestors and preparing the venue for the blood test tomorrow, but no one noticed that Lu Pingan, who had been missing for many days, returned.

As he arrived at the door of the house, Lu Ping'an, who had struggled all the way, finally made a decision.

Before tomorrow, he must keep a low profile, and it is best to hide in the old house so that no one will find his trace.

As a triple master of the True Martial Realm, Lu Tianwang has long replaced the Patriarch in handling the affairs of the clan. He has many minions. Today, Lu Ping'an is not enough to compete with him.

"Master, madam, the old slave is guilty, the old slave deserves to die..."

Lu Pingan was about to push the door and enter, suddenly, the cry of an old man came out from the courtyard.
