Chapter 348: If You Kill Yourself, I’ll Leave Your Body in One Piece
Guanglinzi finally realized who Lu Xuan truly was.
Many of the common people were familiar with a figure known as the Palace Lord of the Heavenly Palace, but only a handful truly knew that it was Lu Xuan.
Chu Yan’er and the others were such people.
That was because the level they were at was just too low, for such information was easily made accessible to those of high-ranking statuses. However, this information was hard to come by for whoever was not among the inner circles of renowned organizations.
As the cultivator among those at the very top at the moment and a being at the Airborne Realm, there was no doubt that Guanglinzi knew who Lu Xuan was.
It had not been long since the world became something else altogether, and those at Airborne Realm were considered at the very pinnacle among cultivators.
It was actually difficult for even Airborne Realm beings to run into any other Airborne Realm cultivators under normal situations, and definitely more so having to fight one. Clashes between Airborne Realm beings often ended up with both parties fighting only to reach a stalemate, as they refrained from going all out.
Aside from Lu Xuan, who had very apparent records of taking out other Airborne Realm beings, there had yet to be records of any other Airborne Realm beings killed.
Disregarding when the US government suddenly decided to use nuclear weapons against Lu Xuan right after Lu Xuan was said to have fought Cain, the ancestor of the vampires, the only official record of such clashes was when Lu Xuan attacked the US government.
He brought down three top-notch Airborne Realm beings all on his own.
Each one died with one swing of the blade each, with no exception.
It was something that truly stunned the common non-cultivators, but the level of shock was rather to be expected. To them, both beings of the Celestial Realm and the Airborne Realm were unimaginably powerful enemies.
However, things were completely different among the Airborne Realm beings.
As beings who were deemed higher above everyone else, this was the very first time that they truly felt threatened. The threat itself was just unbelievably intense.
It seemed that in Lu Xuan’s eyes, all Airborne Realm beings were little more than insects. Thus, it was incredibly easy for him to take them all out.
That was what caused a huge commotion among the Airborne Realm beings; no one had any idea just how powerful Lu Xuan had actually become at present.
Lu Xuan looked like he was the undisputed number one throughout the whole world, and the notion was hardly something new.
Even Airborne Realm beings who saw themselves to be above everyone else had to admit that the difference in combat prowess between them and Lu Xuan was just too massive.
The power gap was so wide that they were unable to even begin to fight him.
However, they still had little idea of just how powerful Lu Xuan had truly become. The only thing they knew for sure was that they had no way of defeating him in a fight.
The world of cultivators would not have been that quiet otherwise.
Lu Xuan had disgraced the US government to the best of his ability, killing both the president and vice president in office.
There was only one acting president in the government at the moment. There was no doubt that such a huge insult had brought about severe enmity, causing the entire nation to be boiling in rage. Countless people on the internet called for the government to deploy hydrogen bombs on Lu Xuan.
Even those of the far-right were calling for war against Huaxia.
Then again, there was no telling how many among those voices came from spies of other countries.
The Americans in general were surprisingly rendered dead silent in such a situation.
While the net was filled with such furious voices and a good number of people protesting day and night, the US government kept mum all the same.
No one knew if the US had simply decided to swallow the indignation and let it slide, or that they were plotting revenge.
However, there was no doubt that if one were to see the US as a whole to be a sect, the nation would have been unmistakably regarded as the number one sect in the whole world. After all, they were currently the only superpower in the world.
They were a force of immense power, yet they suffered such indignation all the same.
The Americans began to doubt that nuclear weapons would be of any use in taking out Lu Xuan after all.
No one knew how Lu Xuan managed to survive back in the south pole. Everyone wondered whether the nuclear missile simply missed or if it did but proved unable to pose any threat to him.
Not even the Americans dared to do anything rash and drastic without being sure of their chances.
There was simply too much of Lu Xuan’s background that nobody knew. Some believed that he acquired some sort of unbelievable cultivation heritage, while others claimed that he hailed from some sect that was isolated from the rest of the world.
Speculations were everywhere, but nothing seemed to be confirmed yet.
Lu Xuan’s background before the restoration of spirit qi was something that everyone could find out; it was hardly a secret. The real mystery was how he managed to rise at a frightening rate, leaving all others in the dust after spirit qi was restored to the world.
There were no records of him having studied under any teachers or masters, yet everyone saw his entire family as top-notch fighters.
All Airborne Realm fighters at the moment had practically etched his face in their minds. At the very least, none of them were able to come up with any half-decent way of taking him out.
“So you know me then?” Lu Xuan flashed a grin and continued, “If you kill yourself, I’ll leave your dead body in one piece.”
What Lu Xuan said stunned everyone in the village below, for the concept of telling one’s enemies to just kill themselves like that was completely alien to them.
Many were thinking that Lu Xuan was being too boastful with his actions.
At that moment, Guanglinzi clenched his teeth and said, “I’m not going to yield even to you!”
It was only then that he realized that he truly bit off more than he could chew. He finally realized why Sha Tongshen was so furious when they fought each other.
All that fury was due to one such big boss hiding in the midst of the village.
He then recalled the village being the Lu Clan’s village, as well as that man before him named Lu Xuan.
He seemed to have realized something right there and then. His face went absolutely pale from fright.
What he did was tantamount to having messed up Lu Xuan’s lair. It was hardly a surprise when Sha Tongshen was so furious, for they truly had gotten into trouble unlike any other.
After performing a seal, that terrifying undead king roared and immediately charged at Lu Xuan.
“You just don’t learn, do you?”
Lu Xuan smirked. He completely disliked Guanglinzi; the act of making ancestral graves of others into a place for fostering his own undead was something utterly inhumane.
“You’re in way over your head.”
A ball of Spiritual Qi spun at high speeds in Lu Xuan’s hand before instantly being conjured into a ball of sword aura., He then immediately brought it down onto that incoming undead king.
Pffftt!
The undead king, whose body had reached that of Invincible Vajras and became completely immune to gunfire, was instantly bisected by that attack.
Its huge body fell from the sky alongside the resulting bloody mist.
However, that mass of bloody mist was quickly caught by a huge hand conjured by spirit qi before it managed to hit the ground.
The undead king’s jade-colored blood sizzled in the huge hand conjured by spirit qi, continuously corroding it.
It was unthinkable to just dispose of that undead king’s body without a thought. Being tainted from even a single drop of its fluids would quickly turn one into a jiangshi.
Jiangshi usually needed to bite their victims to spread the infection, but the likes of undead kings had such potency spread all over their bodies; a single touch was more than enough to spread the infection.
The people of the village were dazed by the sight before them. They were all fully aware of just how capable that undead king had been moments ago, who was so powerful that even Sha Tongshen ended up at a disadvantage. Even so, the undead king was unable to withstand even a single hit from Lu Xuan.
Although they knew little to nothing about cultivation, they nonetheless came to realize at that moment why Guanglinzi was so terrified by Lu Xuan’s appearance.
It became apparent to everyone that Lu Xuan was of an extraordinarily high level among the cultivators.
Guanglinzi burst with a beam of light and fled all the way to the external fringes of the village while the chaos continued. He had neither the time nor energy to spare even after losing such an undead king as a weapon.
