Chapter 586: Slapping the Sectmaster of the Taichu Path to Death
The fist was hoisted high in the air, containing enough of a terrifying aura to become a tsunami.
There was nothing fancy about the punch; the only noteworthy thing about it was the towering force it packed. The punch was thrown in an instant, shattering everything in its path.
The punch directly hit that formation.
Boom!
The resulting shockwave from the explosion was so massive that a mushroom cloud was seen slowly rising in the sky.
It looked just like when a small nuclear device was detonated.
Pfftt!
One cultivator at the Divine Treasure Realm spitted blood as he was sent flying right away.
He had sustained substantial damage within the blink of an eye.
The standoff lasted for only a split second before that formation was instantly crushed by the sheer brute force of Lu Xuan’s punch.
The recoil was so massive that even fighters at the Divine Treasure Realm all spat out blood. Needless to say, common disciples suffered even worse fates. Those who were not even at the Divine Treasure Realm blew up and died on the spot.
That one punch packed with it enough force to shatter the world.
The fighters at the Divine Treasure Realm all spat out blood as they were sent flying, each one having sustained serious injuries.
The average disciples dropped like flies as their bodies blew up from the recoil.
Wang Yun wailed in pain at the sight. All of the wounds he suffered tore up, further aggravating his injuries.
“Arrrgghhh!! Damn you, Lu Xuan!”
Wang Yun howled like an injured beast.
“Why did you do this to Taichu Path? Why? Why?”
Lu Xuan came before Wang Yun while the latter was still wailing. Lu Xuan’s bluish-white robe remained spotlessly clean.
Lu Xuan replied, “Why, you ask? You people are plotting to rule the Earth and came looking for trouble with me time and time again. Now, you have the gall to ask me why? Don’t you know how stupid you sound right now?”
Wang Yun’s expression suddenly changed. He initially saw himself as a victim of Lu Xuan’s bullying, gatecrashing his sect and going on a killing spree.
Only then did he finally remember why everything had happened in the first place.
It all started with them wanting to act against Lu Xuan, wracking their brains to think of any possible ways to get rid of him.
They believed that Lu Xuan was the greatest obstacle in their path of ruling over the Earth Federation, and they were proven to have been right all along. As long as Lu Xuan was still around, their schemes would have been nothing more than that.
Lu Xuan was the only thing preventing them from getting to Earth and ruling the planet.
They had been too used to throwing their weight around, razing other sects and clans every now and then. As such, none of them thought anything about it; they simply believed that everyone that stood against them needed to be taken out. What Lu Xuan was doing right now was simply what they did to others, yet they thought him to be a bully instead.
Lu Xuan thought it was utterly ridiculous.
Even Wang Yun thought it was ridiculous as well, but he did not think that he did anything wrong. If there was to be anything that could’ve been considered his fault, it was being too weak.
If he were to possess powers at the level of the Divine Transformation Realm, it would have been Lu Xuan lording over him and speaking the truth.
He could have easily clapped Lu Xuan to death where the man stood without even needing to listen to him babble.
“I did nothing wrong. I was never wrong. Those people on Earth are fools. They are only cattle that require guidance. They should be thanking us for even giving them a chance to serve us as slaves!”
Wang Yun howled away. His expression at the moment became increasingly manic. It was as if he was a madman being captured.
Lu Xuan smirked as he said, “You’re right about that. The only thing you did wrong was indeed not being powerful enough. Now, you must pay the price.”
Wang Yun was stunned upon sensing the murderous intent emanating from Lu Xuan. He shouted, “You dare to kill me? Grand Ancestor Ye Xuan will never forgive you if you do.”
He had never felt himself being so close to death before. He had initially thought that death was something so far away, something he had no chance of ever going through in his lifetime.
Now, however, he was looking at death right in the eyes.
He finally panicked. He had razed many other cultivation forces and defeated several enemies, feeling nothing towards killing others back then.
When it was his turn to die, however, he finally realized how all those people had felt.
Lu Xuan then chuckled coldly as he said, “If he’s able to return in time, that is.”
“Sectmaster!”
“Don’t you dare lay a finger on the sectmaster!”
“Lu Xuan, die already!”
Several fighters at the ninth tier of the Divine Treasure Realm charged at him as they yelled from afar. They were the only ones at the moment who dared to stand out and protect their sectmaster.
It was the worst day of their lives. Taichu Path had been around for over 1000 years, with the sect’s history dating back two to three thousand years ago.
Even so, they had never suffered such a humiliating defeat since the sect was founded.
The rescue attempt that a few of them tried was deemed pointless. They were far weaker compared to Lu Xuan.
None of their efforts would have worked. Lu Xuan simply grabbed and conjured a beam of sword aura in the air, which he sent spinning once in midair.
The ones who were charging at him were immediately bisected before they were able to get close.
They were still reeling from the shock as they died, watching the lower halves of their bodies leaving them.
They had never anticipated Lu Xuan to be so terrifying that he was capable of such fearsome feats on little more than a whim.
They were not present at the Taichu Meeting back then. They dismissed the evaluations from the cowards who fled the meeting to be little more than exaggerations.
Throughout the ages, countless cowards made their enemies seem bigger than they were in reality.
They deemed the cowards who fled the event to be utter insults to the Taichu Path.
It was only then that those people realized that those cowards were telling the whole truth, not exaggerating anything. Instead, their evaluations sounded watered down when compared to what was truly happening.
They all saw Lu Xuan as a monster instead of a human.
“Arrgghhh, Lu Xuan. I’ve had enough of you! I’m going to kill you!”
Wang Yun finally climbed to his feet as he yelled. He burst with Spiritual Aether all over, as his aura appeared towering. He looked every bit like a beast who had been injured, wanting to drag its enemy to Hell with it.
Being continuously provoked by Lu Xuan insulted him in a way that nobody had ever done before.
He instantly pounced at Lu Xuan. The entire place shook as he came down on Lu Xuan like a mountain.
That was something that manifested from his martial will, something of massive force that was deemed as immutable as mountains.
It was true that Wang Yun was a renowned genius in Taichu Path from the previous generation. He was probably more powerful than the Heretic.
He was severely injured by Lu Xuan with just a single blast of sword aura, utterly incapable of standing up to Lu Xuan. Despite that, he was by no means a weakling.
It was just that Lu Xuan was just too powerful for him to handle.
Lu Xuan saw no point in being merciful, slapping at Wang Yun’s direction right away.
Boom!
The slap directly hit Wang Yun, causing his body to disintegrate right away and sprayed all over the place like a rain of blood.
The man died a horrible death instantly.
