In an instant, the three clashed with each other.
Ding! Ding!
The blades glittered in the air as they crossed each other. Sparks flew everywhere amid the powerful sound.
The two young men from the Duanmu Family developed the Inferior Yellow Level sword technique. They were only cultivating up to the level of Overwhelming Agility and far below Lu Ming's proficiency in sword arts.
However, their individual cultivation was higher than Lu Ming by as much as three Levels. They had the upper hand for a moment as they cooperated.
'I'll take out the wounded first!'
Lu Ming's eyes shone like lightning, and endless streams of Glittering Sword Techniques invaded the injured young man.
“How can he be so strong? He boasted such combat strength even though he was only at the Sixth Grade Warrior Realm! Such a person cannot live. He must be killed!”
The two young men from the Duanmu Family were stunned as Lu Ming's strength exceeded their expectations.
Roars! Roars!
The roars of two beasts sounded. A bloody red light emanated from the backs of the two Duanmu Family youths as two black beetle tigers appeared. There were three red meridian focal points on the black panther's body. It was obvious that the blood meridians of the youths were Third Level blood meridians.
The two panthers then pounced on the bodies of their respective youths. At that moment, black light shot out from their bodies as their Qi increased dramatically.
It was an eruption of the blood meridian!
The eruption of their blood meridians increased the speed of the two youths by 30%.
The blood meridians always had an interest in certain attributes. Some blood meridians have a higher affinity for defense while others have a higher affinity for attacking, as well as increasing speed.
Attributes that had affinity would get an increase when the blood meridians erupted.
Normally, an eruption of the First Level blood meridian would increase attributes by one tenth.
A Second Level blood meridian eruption would increase the attribute by two tenths.
With that logic, an attribute would increase by 90% when the Ninth Level blood meridian erupted, which amounted to almost double.
The blood meridians of the Duanmu Family youth were partially dependent on speed, which increased by three tenths after their blood meridians erupted.
No matter which attribute was enhanced, it also meant an increase in combat power.
Naturally, some high-level blood meridians would have an affinity for some attributes, which also meant that those attributes would be enhanced simultaneously with each other.
Multiple enhanced attributes at once would signal an even more terrifying increase in combat power.
After their blood meridians erupted, the combat strength of the Duanmu Family youth increased significantly as they began to destroy Lu Ming.
'Pity. I can't make my blood meridians erupt because they haven't grown perfectly. I think that's my weakness.' Lu Ming pondered as he fought against the two with all his might.
Holy hooch! Holy hooch!
Just then, someone came in with a swooshing sound once again.
“Haha, time to die, Lu Ming!”
It was Wei Ziming and Wei Ziyou.
Swish!
Wei Ziyou swung his sword even before he arrived. A flash of green Sword Qi exploded from his sword. It was a long-range manifestation of the extremely sharp Sword Qi as it aimed at Lu Ming with the aim of wounding.
"The danger!"
At that moment, Lu Ming was enveloped by an urgent feeling of danger as every strand of hair on his body stood upright.
The Sword Qi of the Master Realm was not something he could withstand right now.
He wanted to avoid it but was stopped decisively by the young man of the Duanmu Family.
The spirit!
Just then, a sharp voice sounded from the opposite direction. There was another slash of Sword Qi flying towards Lu Ming.
There were other Realm Master martial artists who wanted Lu Ming dead.
The two Realm Master martial artists worked together, and the two youths in the Nine-Class Warrior Realm blocked Lu Ming's path. They cornered him, putting him in a precarious situation.
'I will enter the Supreme Temple!'
However, his expression immediately changed when he realized that he could no longer enter the Supreme Temple as it did not react in his mind.
“Could I not be able to enter the Supreme Temple while fighting? Am I going to die here? No, I cannot let myself die!' Lu Ming shouted in his mind. Right then, his mind became extremely focused as his blood boiled. He wanted to find his silver lining in that hopeless situation.
Suddenly, a great itch spread as red rays emerged from his spine. At the same time, waves of strange energy surged from his spine to his entire body.
'This is the power of the blood meridian. My blood meridians have finally finished growing! Blood meridian eruption!'
Without time to think of everything, Lu Ming immediately made his blood meridians erupt. Black light began to spread throughout his body.
The spirit! The spirit!
It was at that moment that both Sword Qi slashed at Lu Ming's body.
Two sharp energies pierced through his body as Sword Qi struck him. A great pain spread throughout his body as a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
'The strength of Sword Qi seemed to have been reduced by half!'
Lu Ming could instantly feel that the power of the Sword Qi that landed on him had been reduced by half. If he had full strength, there was no way he could handle it.
'Could it be because of my blood meridians?'
He twisted his brain for a moment, but there was no time to think twice. Lu Ming took a step forward and darted towards the injured youth of the Duanmu Family like a gust of wind.
The young man from the Duanmu Family did not expect Lu Ming to still be alive after being exposed to the Sword Qi of the two Realm Master martial artists. He wanted to defend himself, but it was too late.
Poof!
A sword slid down the young man's throat like a bolt of light as blood spurted everywhere. Lu Ming's figure shot forward in an instant as he used the Dragon Snake Step.
“Lu Ming, how dare you kill a disciple from your Duanmu Family!? You are nearing death!” someone shouted in panic.
Lu Ming glanced at a glance and saw from whom the furious cry came.
It was one of the Realm Master martial artists that had made a move. With a rosewood pattern sewn on the end of his sleeve, he turned out to be a young disciple of the Duanmu Family.
“Your Duanmu family, I swear in the end I will tear you down to the ground.”
The killing impulse within Lu Ming was extremely condensed as he flew forward while firmly enduring his own injuries.
"Follow him!"
Behind Lu Ming, Wei Ziyou and the martial experts from the Duanmu Family were in pursuit.
However, Lu Ming had developed the Dragon Snake Step to the Fifth Stage, so that he could traverse over three meters in a single step at a speed that even surpassed the First Grade Master Realm.
Wei Ziyou and the others had no chance of catching up with Lu Ming.
After half an hour, Lu Ming managed to dissipate his scent. Then, he found a cave and darted into it.
Huh! Huh!
He gasped as he sat inside the cave. His body is pulsing in pain. Even though he had blocked the Sword Qi of the two Realm Master martial artists, the injuries he suffered were not light.
'Let's see if I can enter the Supreme Temple now!'
Thinking of this, Lu Ming's body disappeared and reappeared in the Supreme Temple.
'Could it be that I cannot enter the Supreme Temple while fighting or in danger? Why so?'
Unable to understand it, Lu Ming was speechless. It seemed impossible to hide from the dangers in the Supreme Temple. He needs to rely on himself.
'Let's focus on taking care of my wounds!'
Lu Ming began to tend to his injuries while sitting on his knees and began reciting the True War Dragon Technique.
Immediately, he recovered from his injuries after three days.
Buzz!
Lu Ming's mind entered his spine. There was a radiance of red light with a black worm the size of a finger that appeared within the light.
The worm had no limbs, but it shone with a brilliant black color as if it was made of black jade powder.
'Is this my blood meridian? Why is there not a single meridian focal point?' Lu Ming was silent.
