Chapter 112: A Shocking Attack? Blocked with a Single Finger!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Lu Xuan shouted with a loud voice, the sound shaking the whole mountain.
“Hmph!”
There was a cold snort, and in a flash, a terrifying figure moved like a black whirlwind, hurtling towards Lu Xuan.
Swish!
The figure was moving way too quickly, as its speed transformed it into a fearsome cyclone. In an instant, it had crossed a huge distance, and a palm was rapidly approaching to strike Lu Xuan.
All of this was too fast, happening so fast that even a few of the National Guardian level masters present could not clearly see what was happening.
Lu Xuan was unfazed, reaching out a single finger to directly block the palm strike.
Bang!
There was a loud booming noise, and all the others saw was that at the point of the two parties’ collision, there was an explosion like from an explosive. A terrifying energy had blown up, sending out a shockwave in all directions.
In that instant, there was a storm of flying sand and rocks, darkening the sky.
Aside from the three National Guardian level masters who could withstand this energy shockwave with their Shield of Vigor, even the martial arts legends were pushed back by the force of the attack, almost getting blown off their feet.
“What a fearsome attack!”
The crippled monk bore an expression of shock on his face.
This kind of power had already far surpassed the National Guardian level, as their fights would never result in such a frightening spectacle.
“It can’t be! He’s surpassed the National Guardian level…” Qing Yunzi was equally dumbfounded. “I had heard that Qiu Zhen reached the National Guardian level a long time ago. Recently, he shut himself away to try and make a breakthrough, probably to get past the National Guardian level. He might have just succeeded!”
A stunned expression also surfaced on the Viper King’s face. The moves they used were just too shocking.
These people were at the top of the game, far stronger than most, so they knew that if there was an existence stronger than them, it would probably be a Divine level master, who had surpassed the National Guardian level.
They had heard hearsay that the maximum limit of strength the world could contain at the present time was that of a Divine level master.
Still, even for them, a Divine level master was a rare sight.
The only publicly known Divine level master in Huaxia was currently the legendary Big Boss of the Agency of Special Affairs.
He alone could suppress the various factions in Huaxia that were itching to go wild.
He embodied a fearsome strength.
Back then, the Big Boss of the Agency of Special Affairs seemed to single-handedly put down all opposition, which led to the current situation, where the Agency policed all Cultivators. After all, they were not regular people, so unless they had been truly beaten, they would not be willing to submit to an organization restraining them.
Presently, there were naturally more Divine level breakthroughs happening compared to the past. Even so, in the vast world of Cultivators in Xinan, they had yet to hear of anyone making a breakthrough.
Of course, everyone was still desperately cultivating themselves, and it was essentially a race against time. The first person to make a breakthrough to the Divine level would be able to become the true overlord of the Xinan Cultivator world.
For these three individuals, at least, they had not broken through to the Divine level, still feeling like they were missing something.
They had also heard that the Soul-snatcher Sect’s Sectmaster Qiu Zhen had shut himself away to cultivate. From what they just saw, could he have really made a breakthrough to the Divine level?
“If that’s really the case, I fear the world of Cultivators in Xinan will be overturned by him!”
This scary possibility immediately sprung into the three of their heads.
It was common knowledge that the Soul-snatcher Sect did not dare to cause trouble because they feared the Big Boss of the Agency of Special Affairs, who was keeping watch in the capital.
However, once Qiu Zhen made the same breakthrough to the Divine level, his cultivation would not be below that of the Big Boss of the Agency of Special Affairs. He probably would not even care about the Big Boss any longer.
It remained to be seen for other regions, but he would probably begin his invasion of the world of Cultivators in Xinan straight away.
He might even try to conquer the entire world of Cultivators in Xinan.
In retrospect, the elimination of the Soul-snatcher Sect’s eastern conquest party had been a huge boon to them.
Now, even if the Soul-snatcher Sect escaped complete destruction, their Sectmaster Qiu Zhen would need a long time to rebuild his Soul-snatcher Sect. For a while, he would not have the strength to invade the Xinan world of Cultivators.
Certainly, if Qiu Zhen died here, at the hands of Lu Xuan, that would be the best possible outcome for them.
In the distance, watching from a pair of binoculars, Yun Feiying was taken aback by the terrifying force of the attack. This strength was far above their strength as National Guardian level masters.
One scene especially, of Lu Xuan dispatching all his enemies in a rain of gunfire, was deeply imprinted in his mind.
As to be expected from someone specially recommended by Ming Yueyao, the strength he had was almost like that of a monster.
Even a National Guardian Level master could not be entirely indifferent to a weapon like a rocket launcher.
Yet, that was what Lu Xuan did. In a relaxed and leisurely manner, like he was strolling idly in his free time, he had slain a group of masters.
“Could it be that they have already surpassed the National Guardian level?” Yun Feiying could not help thinking about such a possibility. The fact was that Lu Xuan’s battle with that black figure was too amazing, like the mythical fights between legendary characters.
In this brief span of time, the expression of the onlookers changed, as though they had seen a great change happening in the world.
In the battle itself, Lu Xuan, who had blocked the fearsome palm strike with a single finger, did not seem affected by it at all, and his body stayed completely still.
Any shockwaves from the attack were blown away by his Shield of Vigor.
It was like he was receiving a normal, regular attack.
Only the edges of his clothes continuing to loudly flap in the wind proved how frightening the previous attack was.
The black figure he was facing was taken aback for a moment.
He was fully aware of the fearsome power he could exert at full strength!
Even if there was a tank in front of him, he was capable of sending it flying. Yet, this kid who only looked to be 17 or 18 actually displayed such terrifying strength?
In that instant, he felt a trace of excitement. Yes, he felt excitement.
It had been a long time since someone stood up to him, and wringing off the head of masters like these was much more meaningful.
At this point in time, Lu Xuan could finally take a clear look at what kind of existence the man in the black robe was.
He looked to be in his fifties, wearing a set of light clothing. He looked quite gorgeous.
Naturally, Lu Xuan immediately recognized him as the Soul-snatcher Sect Sectmaster—Qiu Zhen.
In his past life, when Lu Xuan saw Qiu Zhen for the first time, he had been high-spirited, truly someone who could be a great leader and inspire many.
However, as he was right now, Qiu Zhen was much younger, and he had yet to develop the kind of unrivaled demeanor he had in Lu Xuan’s past life.
“Qiu Zhen, you’ve finally decided to come out and accept your death then?” Lu Xuan said coldly.
Qiu Zhen took off his black hood and replied, “You killed my son, my right and left-hand men, and all of the masters in my Soul-snatcher Sect. Now, heaven has been fair to me, giving me the chance to kill you!”
When he thought of the masters of his sect who were lost in the defeat of their eastern campaign, Qiu Zhen felt the deep ache of loss in his heart.
