Level Up in Martial World

"The avatar is already flickering," he thought, though a hint of pity lingered in his gaze.

"If we had more firepower, we could create an army of archers solely dedicated to this. With the modified combat art that I could create, their power would be terrifying," Lu Zhen pondered as the avatar reached the gate, with countless soldiers falling as they supplied their Qi and vitality to sustain it.

"Let\'s give it one last shot," Lu Zhen said, turning to Xia Mei with a smile.

"I will bring it to you," Xia Mei replied with a smile of understanding as she handed him a large box.

Lu Zhen opened the lid and gazed at the bow, his eyes flashing with a golden hue. The black bows were crafted from a high-level material, evident at first glance, and even the strings were black and seemed to be from a strong animal.

[Modified Demonic Bow]

[Grade: Intent Item]

[Remarks: This modified demonic bow utilises demonic Qi to refine demonic arrows which are used for shooting with the bow. Enhanced with the addition of "thought-jin steel," it imbues the bow with attributes of heaviness and power, resulting in stronger and heavier arrows. However, it requires considerable strength to draw the bowstring, estimated to exert a weight of approximately ten tons.

Refined by the ancestor of the Volgrith bloodline and subsequently modified by the ancestor of the Elfen bloodline.]

"Not bad. I didn\'t expect you to be so skilled at refining the material, or should I say Xiaolong Gui," Lu Zhen chuckled.

Xia Mei smiled with a smirk.

"Don\'t worry, Lu Zhen. We\'ve switched the bloodline authority now. Thanks to your help, she can\'t command me anymore, and with my authority, I can eliminate her anytime," Xia Mei said nonchalantly, her expression grateful.

"I\'ve always felt like someone was controlling my life ever since I was young. It started as a faint feeling, but it grew stronger as I became more powerful. Now, I finally realise that these weren\'t just my feelings; it was reality."

Lu Zhen simply nodded, a smile playing on his lips as he slowly picked up the bow.

"Oh." Even with his current strength, he felt a weight pressing down on him the moment he lifted the bow.

With a little exertion of his strength, Lu Zhen effortlessly mauvered the bow, his muscle working like a heated engine.

With a satisfied nod, Lu Zhen looked at the avatar, which was just a distance away from them.

"Ho!" he exclaimed, taking a deep breath as he utilised the demonic Qi in his heart meridian. By now, he had gathered about fifty strands of demonic Qi, each containing a more terrifying aura than before.

With the might of the newly modified demonic bow, Lu Zhen could only pray for the poor avatar that is going to face it.

"Hupp!" With intense focus, he aimed the bow at the avatar, which was about to swing its scythe at the wall with a smirk on its face, pulling the string as far as he could.

The heavy demonic bow bent almost all the way from the strength that Lu Zhen exerted as he pulled the string of the bow.

All the demonic Qi in his dantian, emanating from the heart meridian, rushed into the demonic bow.

Instantly, a dark flame in the shape of an arrow formed, emitting heat that seemed to distort the very fabric of the void.

Lu Zhen felt the heat of the demonic arrow intensify, causing even his muscles to tense. His refined body, just half a step away from becoming a first-stage martial artist, felt the heat.

"Oh?" Lu Zhen was a little surprised when he sensed this.

"Poor avatar."

Boom!

A shockwave was produced the instant the arrow was released, effortlessly breaking the sound barrier, and even causing the void to tremble under the sheer heat produced by the arrow.

In just a breath\'s time, the arrow collided with the avatar, its fiery might spreading outward.

"Eh?" Qian Li suddenly felt the temperature of the surrounding rising.

"What\'s happening?" He looked towards the avatar with a frown on his face. The moment he closed his expression, it froze with terror in his eyes.

The grim reaper was hit by the arrow, sending it backwards by ten steps. However, that wasn\'t the end of it!

With the terrifying heat produced by the arrow, the avatar of the grim reaper slowly started to melt.

Some small sparks from the demonic arrow fell to the soldiers below, and instantly they melted into the ground. Their bones, blood, and Qi all vanished into thin air.

Even a second-stage martial artist who was affected by the spark could only last for a short amount of time before melting away. All that was left was their skeleton, which soon melted away as if they didn\'t exist in the first place.

Qian Li felt a chill down his spine, a sensation that even a peak second-stage martial artist like himself, on the cusp of breaking through, couldn\'t shake off.

The ominous sense of danger emanating from the arrow\'s spark was unmistakable. The higher one\'s martial stage, the more acute their perception of imminent threats.

This instinctive reaction couldn\'t be ignored.

Fortunately, the arrow\'s effects were short-lived, dissipating after just twenty breaths of time. It barely made a dent in the scythe held by the avatar, prompting a sigh of relief from Qian Li.

But his relief was short-lived.

"No, the problem isn\'t these." his eyes widened seeing the countless soldiers who were falling even faster than before.

"Shit."

Before he could formulate a plan, another demonic arrow was sent hurtling towards the avatar, Qian Li\'s mind raced. Having attained the status of a peak second-stage martial artist within this diabolic sect, How could he be a simple character?

"Ignore the arrow. Our priority is to breach the wall," he declared decisively, his voice cutting through the chaos. The army obeyed without question, moving swiftly to execute his command.

The avatar blatantly ignored the flaming demonic arrow coming towards it and swung its scythe at the walls.

Boom!

The giant wall broke instantly.

The wall, which had covered the entirety of the entire Phoenix City, was now destroyed for the first time in centuries, ever since the creation of the four major families.

Some of the old soldiers\' eyes flickered with a complicated gaze as they looked at the broken wall with reminiscence. After all, they grew up seeing these giant walls, which also gave them a sense of security.

Now, these grim reaper avatars have completely broken these walls, and a sense of rage slowly built in them as their Qi and blood leaked out, with a fiery rage burning in their eyes.

"Oh, there are at least some decisive people in the army," Lu Zhen\'s crimson eyes flickered, noticing the battle spirit in some of the older soldiers.

However, Lu Zhen had no recollection of such a thing, so he couldn\'t relate as easily as these people.

After all, he transmigrated not long ago!

But the avatar couldn\'t last long as it was instantly hit by the flaming arrows.

"Damn it, let go of the shield," Qian Li decisively said. The fate of the avatar was already settled with these flaming arrows. Holding on to it would only cause more harm than good.

So, it was better to let go than to stubbornly hold on like an old man.

As expected, this was the best situation for him.

Although the terrifying demonic arrow landed in the ranks of the army, no matter how powerful it was, it could only cover ten metres from its landing side, and all the soldiers within that range were melted instantly, even the ground charged to charcoal.

Boom!
