Level Up in Martial World

The swordsman felt that something was wrong as he looked around, while the others also scanned their surroundings.

Boom!

Suddenly, the ground shook as wooden pillars appeared from the ground and instantly formed a cage that trapped all of them.

"This…" the swordsman's eyes widened with sheer horror as he was assailed by the aura of at least five second-stage martial artists all at once. This caused his mind to be clouded, and his body started to shiver.

Without giving anyone a chance to react, four second-stage martial artists wearing green robes embroidered with the symbol of the verdant tree jumped at him simultaneously, attacking him from all directions.

A shiver ran down his face as despair etched his expression.

He wasn't Lu Zhen, a literal monster who could take on multiple opponents of the same realm simultaneously; he was just a barely-broken-through peak second-stage martial artist.

The swordsman looked to his brother for help; however, Lu Zhen and another second-stage martial artist were blocking the way for the three martial artists.

It was relatively easy for Lu Zhen to hold back two second-stage martial artists. In fact, he was about to end the life of the mace martial artist as well, while the other second-stage martial artists were blocking the archer, making the swordsman completely isolated.

"This… I can't die yet…" the swordsman gritted his teeth with unwillingness as he gathered the last ounce of his strength; however, reality was always cruel.

Thud!

His head fell to the floor with unwillingness still reflecting in his eyes as the body fell around as if fish came out of land for a solid five minutes and finally fell to the ground as well.

He was swiftly beheaded in that moment of time he assessed his situation. If he didn't assess his situation, he would have still died.

Just like that, the swordsman also died.

"Big brother…" The mace martial artist cried out loud. However, the poor guy wasn't given much time to live as his head burst like a watermelon with a simple punch from Lu Zhen.

The fist martial artist had despair etched on his face when he saw this, blood splattering all over his body.

"How do I survive? How do I survive? How do I survive?" The survival instinct of any living being took over his mind.

It was the nature of any living being to not want to die. Whether human or animal, nobody wants to become a pile of faeces!

"I… I surrender." He closed his eyes, expecting something to happen; however, nothing occurred, which confused him greatly as he slowly opened his eyes.

Lu Zhen looked at him amusingly; however, his eyes radiated a deep coldness, as if he didn't even consider the worth of his surrender.

"Good, stay on the ground and be cuffed," Lu Zhen's cold voice rang in his ear, a deep humiliation striking his pride as the grand elder of the Xia family.

However, a resigned look appeared on his face as he stayed face-down.

Seeing this, the archer martial artist also lost the will to fight and surrendered as well.

"Well, any last words?" Lu Zhen said as he looked at the middle-aged man who had come to inform the grand elder of the Xia family.

"This… this…" He was too stunned by the scene that unfolded in front of him, and he almost forgot to breathe. His brain couldn't process this, or rather, he couldn't believe reality.

However, the intense danger to his life somehow made him regain his thoughts as he said, "I surrender." A deep humiliation came over him. After all, which man can bow in front of another man except one's parents? This was instinctively engraved into oneself while growing up.

However, Lu Zhen's expression became cold. "You aren't worth my time to surrender, neither do you have strength nor anything valuable to me."

The man felt a shiver down his spine as the light in his eyes dimmed. His vision turned one eighty degrees, his world spun, and with it, his eyes completely lost his life.

Lu Zhen coldly looked at the corpse with an uncaring expression as he moved forward, admiring the wooden gigantic cage he had seen, just from the sheer size of the wood.

He took a deep breath and casually punched the cage.

Creak!

The wood seemed to crack from the strength of Lu Zhen; however, it was still relatively in fine condition, causing him to nod his head with a satisfied expression.

"Open the cage," Lu Zhen said as he casually stretched his body, gradually reverting back to his human form using the bloodline cultivation technique.

"Yes, young master." The five grand elders nodded as they swiftly captured two second-stage martial artists and bound them with a special rope.

Although they could potentially escape with some effort, any movement on their part was enough time for the second-stage martial artists to react swiftly and deal with them. After all, they were completely restrained, meaning they were weak.

Rumble!

The ground trembled as the wooden cage reverted to poles and returned to the ground, revealing the outside world to Lu Zhen's vision.

Filled with the people on two sides who were staring at the centre where Lu Zhen and others were and the cage. They emitted the fierce aura of battle hardened soldier as they had a serious expression on there.

However, ignoring this, Lu Zhen looked at his mother's side, which was also covered in a wooden cage.

"How is my mother's situation?" Lu Zhen asked with a frown on his face.

"Young master, the enemies are being swiftly dealt with…"

"Let me enter," Lu Zhen said, ignoring the grand elder's words.

"But… this… young master," the grand elder was stunned seeing the impatient Lu Zhen.

"Now."

"Alright, young master." The grand elder touched the wooden cage, and as if by magic, the wooden cage opened slightly, just enough for Lu Zhen to enter.

"Our family formation is truly not bad," Lu Zhen said with admiration as he went into the small hole
