DRAGON EMPEROR

CHAPTER 34 Successive Breakthroughs

As Lu Ming was traversing through the forest, there was suddenly a change to his expression as he muttered, “It looks like we only have two cents, but you came at the right time!”

Holy hooch! Holy hooch!

At that moment, some sounds broke the silence around Lu Ming as figures emerged from his side, front, back, and left wing.

Wei Ziyou and Wei Ziming stood in front of Lu Ming while there were four members of the Duanmu Family behind him. Other than the young martial artists of the Realm Master, there were three other youths.

On his left, there was a young man wearing a brocade outfit who exuded a powerful aura. He was a Realm Master expert.

As they looked at Lu Ming, the people from these three sides formed a circle with him in the middle.

Three of them were in the First Grade Master Realm while the other three were in the Nine Grade Warrior Realm. Wei Ziming could be considered not a factor.

“Let's see where you can run now, Lu Ming,” Wei Ziming said as he looked at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming casually glanced at Wei Ziming. “Basic trash, duel with me if you can!” She laughs.

“You are a walking dead man, Lu Ming. I won't bother to quarrel with the dead!” Wei Ziming growled.

“Lu Ming, you dare to kill my family disciple, Duanmu Family?! You are nearing death!” the young Realm Master martial artist from the Duanmu Family insulted.

“I'm looking for death? Your family wants me dead first. In your opinion, I guess I can only die without retaliating, huh?” said Lu Ming.

"That's right. My Duanmu family wants you dead, so there is nothing you can do but accept your fate. How can a lowly bastard like you compare to the lives of the disciples of the Duanmu Family?” The Duanmu Family youth mocked. He was confident, arrogant, and unreasonable.

"Hehe!" Lu Ming smiled. He didn't bother to fight with someone like him. "And what about you? I don't think I know you. Are you also someone from the Duanmu Family?” he said while turning his gaze towards the brocade-clothed youth.

“Haha, Lu Ming, since you will soon reach your destination, I will let you take part in this. Senior Brother Ning Feng sent me. You dared to once offend Senior Brother Ning Feng when you had just joined. Are you tired of living?” The brocade dressed youth smiled. “Alright, stop saying senseless things to her. Let's kill him now. I don't have time to fight with him.”

He was Duanmu Fei. As he finished speaking in a cold tone, he attacked Lu Ming in panic. The green sword Qi pierced through the air with a sharp whistle.

Wei Ziyou and the brocade-clothed youth did not move, as they thought one person was enough to face Lu Ming.

Lu Ming set foot on the group as Duanmu Fei's Sword Qi was about to land on it. He used the Dragon Snake Step and dodged the Sword Qi before darting away like a bolt of lightning.

The target was the young man of the Duanmu Family who was in the Nine-Class Warrior Realm.

Clangs!

His blade whistled as a streak of Sword Qi was thrown.

With Lu Ming's cultivation in the Eighth Grade Warrior Realm, the young man from the Duanmu Family was unable to evade Lu Ming's Sword Qi even if he was in a state of full alert.

Poof!

His blade immediately pierced the young man's heart.

It was a murder in one blow!

'Eating!'

With a single thought in Lu Ming's mind, a powerful pull was drawn from his palm, taking out nine drops of blood essence from his opponent's wounds. He crossed Lu Ming's arm and was eaten by the Spirit-Eating Worm.

This was the method of using the Spirit Eater Worm that Lu Ming had known for these few days. He could apply a devouring aura in his hand and silently absorb the blood essence of others.

"ah! Lu Ming, you are seeking death!” Duanmu Fei bellowed furiously as he attacked Lu Ming.

An ice-cold smile formed on Lu Ming's lips. He did not fight Duanmu Fei directly, and he used the Dragon Snake Step to attack the other young man who was in the Nine-Class Warrior Realm.

With the Spirit-Eating Worms continuously purifying the blood essence at the same time, waves of energy flowed into Lu Ming's body.

The energy contained within one's blood essence in the Nine-Class Warrior Realm was immense, allowing Lu Ming to increase his cultivation at an astounding speed.

His cultivation was already at the Eighth Grade Warrior Realm, but it was constantly closing the distance to the Ninth Grade Warrior Realm.

Holy hooch!

Lu Ming absorbed his blood essence at the same time.

Bumped!

With the surging Essential Qi of the blood essence of two Nine Grade Warrior Realm experts, Lu Ming finally broke free from his shackles and made another breakthrough. His cultivation reached the Nine-Class Warrior Realm instantly.

"Suckers! Wait what else? Start moving along and destroy Lu Ming!” Duanmu Fei howled.

In these few days, a total of three people in the Nine-Class Warrior Realm of the Duanmu Family had fallen into Lu Ming's hands. Youngsters who were in the Nine-Class Warrior Realm under the age of eighteen were considered elites, even in the Duanmu Family. After the three of them died at once, he did not know how to explain it to the senior of the Duanmu Family when he returned. That was why he hated Lu Ming from the bottom of his heart.

"Kill him!"

“Ending him!”

Wei Ziyou and the brocade-clad youth shouted as they attacked Lu Ming.

Ever since Lu Ming killed two experts in the Nine-Class Warrior Realm at once, his prowess had exceeded their expectations. Their dignity was the last thing on their minds as they formed an alliance.

Duanmu Fei and Wei Ziyou sent flashes of Sword Qi flying while the young man wearing brocade clothes released golden palms.

A sharp whistling sound rang out as they cooperated and attacked Lu Ming.

“Haha, brilliant move! Let's see how powerful the Realm Master is!” Lu Ming chuckled. His confidence skyrocketed as his cultivation broke through to the Nine-Class Warrior Realm.

Bam!

Lu Ming darted towards Duanmu Fei by twisting his body regardless of the attack from Wei Ziyou and the brocade-clothed youth who came from behind him.

"That!"

His third eye shone with killing intent.

Blood meridian eruption!

At that moment, Lu Ming's blood meridians erupted as layers of dark light gleamed brilliantly.

It was also at the same time when the attacks from Wei Ziyou and the others landed on Lu Ming's body.

However, they were perplexed when they did not see Lu Ming die. His body only swayed for a moment, yet the sword in his hand did not stop. It shot out like a wave of lightning and pierced through Duanmu Fei's heart.

Even in his wildest dreams Duanmu Fei did not expect Lu Ming to survive a three-man attack and even manage to counterattack. He could not dodge it in time even though he wanted to.

Lu Ming stabbed his heart hard. His gaze turned black as he fell to the floor.

Duanmu Fei is dead!

'There are two more breaths!'

Lu Ming's mind spun as he sliced his sword towards the brocade-clothed youth.

"Eh! It!"

The brocade-clothed youth nearly lost his courage upon witnessing Duanmu Fei's death. He then unleashed two consecutive attacks from his palm.

However, Lu Ming recklessly let the attack land on his body. Without pausing for a moment, the sword in his hand sliced the neck of the brocade-clad youth.

Blood spurted everywhere from a clean cut in the young man's throat. His hands clutched his neck as his eyes widened with mixed emotions, including dissatisfaction, pleas, and hatred.

"Retreat! The rush!" Wei Ziyou howled in fear from the side. When Lu Ming successively killed two experts in the Master Realm, Wei Ziyou lost his courage and fled in fear.

“Don't you think it's too late to leave now?” An ice-cold smile was seen on Lu Ming's face as he chased after Wei Ziyou by twisting his body.
