Chapter 240: Using Ultimates and Finishers Like Regular Moves
The Invincible Vajras were still steeped in the sight of that terrifying might before their very eyes.
The result between the two who blasted away at each other on that battlefield became clear.
To put it precisely, Count Dracula was taking quite a beating.
He was backing away again and again while still holding the Dark Bible in his hand, being flung so far away that he was no longer even in the clan’s mountain.
Huff, huff.
The Count continued to pant. Disbelief was written all over his eyes.
It was like running into a ghost to him. Lu Xuan was simply too powerful, or rather, too insanely powerful.
There had been few who were able to evoke such feelings in him, even during that legendary era when formidable fighters emerged all over Huaxia.
The fight felt like a slaughter instead of a battle.
He was still unable to match Lu Xuan blow for blow, despite being armed with the Dark Bible.
Lu Xuan, no doubt, held a very renowned and very formidable power item called the True Force Sword.
However, the difference between the two of them became apparent before long.
He had been using the Dark Bible to fight for quite some time by then, and over half of his reserves were already depleted. He then looked at Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan was hardly flustered; the whole thing felt more like a warm-up to him.
While the Dark Bible was indeed formidable, the Count had to expend a lot of his powers while making use of it. The True Force Sword, wielded by Lu Xuan, was also a formidable weapon that had a very high energy requirement. The extreme energy requirement was made clear by how Jingyunzi panted when he swung the sword even just once.
It was truly frustrating for the Count.
Jingyunzi, who was watching it all from the main hall, found that his jaw was gaping as well.
It felt that he was using finishing or ultimate moves when he used that sword, with every swing expending a great deal of Spiritual Qi, so much so that he had to burn his own life force to use it at later stages.
In Lu Xuan’s hand, however, all those formidable attacks were used as if they were regular swings. The difference was incredibly great.
It felt as if Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Qi reserves were like that of a nuclear power plant, which seemed to be able to generate an endless amount of energy.
The only time that Lu Xuan’s reserves came to near-depletion was when he used the Advent of Thunder Dragon back then.
However, he was able to recover in no time.
One could even say that the ferocity of Lu Xuan’s inherent cultivation aptitude was only shown at such stages.
Not only did he possess the Delusion-breaker Eyes, which were a derivative skill resulting from such an aptitude, but his Spiritual Qi reserves and regeneration were also several times higher that of Count Dracula, who had been in cultivation for ages.
It was due to such factors that Lu Xuan was able to make every move with impudence. While it was true that every swing of that blade cost him a lot, he was nonetheless able to recover within the time of just one breath.
It seemed as if he had no weaknesses to be exploited.
He had been able to scare a great number of fighters to their cores, using only such powers.
He prevailed in many attrition warfare attempts against many due to such abilities as well.
“Come on, Dracula, is this all you’ve got?” Lu Xuan looked at the Count and asked.
The Count continued to glare at Lu Xuan. He then took out a piece of blood-colored gem and swallowed it.
The blood-colored energy in the Count’s body burst in an instant, climbing to levels several times of what it was before.
Lu Xuan looked at that gem and sensed boundless enmity in it.
He realized what that gem truly was. It was something that materialized from the blood of countless beings that the Count had slaughtered over the ages.
That one piece alone was something that could only be crafted by killing at least 100 thousand people.
The Count ruled the Vampiric Empire for an untold number of years, and those who died at the hands of those in the Vampiric Empire would at least be in tens of millions. As such, such a piece of blood-colored crystallization was hardly rare.
The Count’s power climbed in an instant. The Dark Bible in his hand continuously burst with light that was that felt utterly terrifying.
Boom!
A beam of black energy burst from within the Dark Bible.
That beam of dark energy coalesced into an incredibly huge black shadow in midair.
That specter held a gigantic sword in its hand and brought it down on Lu Xuan right away.
That attack from the Count was at least several times more powerful than what it had been.
The disciples of the WuTang Clan were so frightened that they continued backing away. That aura was so terrifying that it felt as if they were looking at the personification of death in the eyes.
Even those that were watching from quite a distance away continued to back away as well. The Count indeed looked too dangerous in such a state.
There were many who felt that even if they were to break into the Celestial Realm, they still probably would not have been able to bring this level of power to bear.
Be it the Count, who was an age-old veteran, or Lu Xuan, who behaved extremely poised throughout, and both were seen to be far beyond the usual Celestial Realm beings. Both were insanely powerful.
Lu Xuan remained unfettered when the attack came. Instead, boundless energy raged throughout his entire being.
He swung the blade in his hand yet again, bringing about a terrifying sword aura that was hundreds of meters long.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The terrifying battle shook the skies right there and then.
Despite facing the Count, whose powers had grown several times over, Lu Xuan remained at an advantage nonetheless.
At that moment, no one knew that satellites far above their heads were watching that insanely frightening battle as well.
Key personnel from the big five were all watching that battle through the satellites.
While there was only an image and no sound, what they saw was nonetheless more than enough for them to speculate on the powers of both parties.
The Pentagon, Washington, United States of America.
President Trump was watching the horrifying battle unfold on the screen. He stood alongside the generals and the secretaries.
“Is this even a level that a human can reach?” one of the high-ranking officials asked with their jaw agape. “It’s a human on one side and a vampire on another. This feels like something from a fantasy novel instead.”
“Well, this is not that different from a fantasy novel. It’d be best if they could both lose,” someone else added.
That sentiment was especially pronounced among the high-ranked military officers, who resented both of the combatants.
The American military fought the Vampiric Empire many times over, and the beef between both parties was laid bare for all to see.
Lu Xuan was not one of the good guys in their eyes, either, given that he had just wrecked the Seventh Fleet not long ago. The military saw him as an enemy as well.
It would work in their best interest if both combatants were to emerge from the fight severely injured.
“Send a live feed to the science guys. We have to get the combat capacities of both sides sorted out.”
The President kept his eyes on the two who were duking it out on the screen.
“Judging from the damage that both can do alone, each will be able to take on an entire division, maybe even more,” one of the generals commented.
“If they were to fight on American soil, I’m afraid that there would be no way conventional forces would be able to take them on. We’d probably have to break out the nukes.”
“Both of them move fast; not even the radar could get a lock-on.”
“The empire of vampires is indeed terrifying. High tech weapons would end up with us dragging them with us to the grave at best. If we were to uproot the entire empire, I’m afraid we would still have to rely on the cultivators.”
