Chapter 722: Killing All Untrustworthy, Despicable People in the World
While it seemed like all of that happened over a rather long time, everything had only happened within a second.
As soon as Lu Xuan cleaved one elder of the Jiang family in half, Lu Xuan stomped and moved toward the next one. He didn’t even wait for the blood from the first elder to even stain him before going.
Without any Spiritual Aether protecting his body, he couldn’t fly away or even use pseudo-teleportation movements right now.
The only thing that he could rely on was his pure formidable physical prowess.
All of the muscles on his body looked soft and loose, with nothing about them suggesting that he was capable of doing much. However, every single cell actually contained terrifying power.
That was what made one with born Taoism aptitude so powerful.
As long as the one with such an aptitude had awakened it, the body would naturally absorb ambient spirit qi even if the person hardly trained. The body would then temper itself with this spirit qi, making it increasingly terrifying.
However, such a thing could only happen at a low rate, making it pale in comparison to the physical bodies of those who were truly trained.
Before anyone knew it, Lu Xuan then suddenly appeared right before yet another elder at the Divine Transformation Realm.
Pffttt!
The blade went up and then down, instantly decapitating the elder at the Divine Transformation Realm right where he stood.
The same situation happened; he was unable to even react in time to begin defending himself against Lu Xuan’s attack. The Shield of Great Aether or any other kind of defensive power item was completely useless before Lu Xuan’s Geng Metal Sword, which could slice right through all of them.
No forms of defense worked at all.
Lu Xuan was moving too fast, his speed far beyond what an ordinary person could reach.
Although he was unable to use any Spiritual Aether right now, he still possessed a level of combat prowess that was far higher than what common beings could handle.
“Die!”
At that moment, an elder of the Jiang family managed to react in time at the moment. He came behind Lu Xuan clapped at his back.
Clang!
That clap resulted in sparks instantly flying everywhere. That was an unmatched skill of the Jiang family—the Burning Sun Strike.
That one clap would have bored a hole through a mountain, melting everything that stood in its path.
When the attack landed on Lu Xuan’s body, however, all that rang out was a metallic clang.
It was as he suspected; without any Spiritual Aether, Lu Xuan was incapable of using a skill like the Shield of Great Aether. Even so, he never expected Lu Xuan’s physical body to have gotten so resilient that it was near indestructible. When the attack landed on his body, it failed to even leave a dent.
All of the flames from the attack were instantly snuffed out.
Lu Xuan then simply turned around and swiped with his sword right away.
Pfftt!
The head of that elder of the Jiang Clan who managed to attack Lu Xuan was sent flying right away. In Lu Xuan’s hands, the Geng Metal Sword could bring about unimaginable levels of power.
Yet another elder was killed with just one swing of the sword.
Within that short amount of time, Lu Xuan had already killed five elders of the Jiang family who were at the Divine Transformation Realm, including his last victim. To a lesser clan like the Jiang family, who already lost over half of their elder to Lu Xuan, such a high level of damage was considered to be significant to the family.
“Die, you animal!”
At that moment, Jiang Tiansheng, the only one in the air from the clan who didn’t attack Lu Xuan yet, finally made his move as well. However, he directly went to strike Liu Haotian instead of Lu Xuan.
His attack burst in endless, roaring flames. It looked as terrifying as a meteor about to hit the ground as it came down.
Only then could Liu Haotian sense that a terrifying mental power had locked onto him.
“Arrgghhh!”
As Liu Haotian shouted, his body burst in ripples of golden light out of instinct. That actually enabled him to shake free from the mental force’s grasp on him.
Aunt Liu gave it her all and stood before him, standing in the way of the incoming attack.
She attempted to block the incoming Burning Sun Strike by erecting multiple barriers around herself, but all of her efforts were completely useless. Incapable of blocking the attack, she was sent flying right away.
Pfftt!
Blood spewed from her mouth, and her face looked utterly ashen. It was already incredibly difficult for her to even get so far until that very moment. Her eyes were filled with frustration and indignity after being severely injured.
How could it turn out like this!? How could the gods be so unfair!?
The Great Ancestor and the sacred ones have done so much for the Holy Sun Continent. They could have given it their all and asked for nothing in return.
That was how the clan was even wiped out in the first place. Now, even the gods are going to rob the sacred ones of their last descendant.
Aunt Liu shouted in rage and frustration, “To hell with the gods!”
However, a figure came right before Liu Haotian at that very moment. The white robe of that man billowed under the roaring flames.
That Geng Metal Sword seemed to have sensed Lu Xuan’s rage burning deep within him. It instantly burst into a boundless light, which formed a beam that tore the flames apart.
Boom!
The light from the sword snuffed the flames out right away before coming down on that palm behind the fire.
Boom!
Blood sprayed out, accompanied by a rumbling sound. Jiang Tiansheng’s attack was torn apart by a beam of light that came from the Geng Metal Sword.
Jiang Tiansheng pulled his hand away with a grunt. Lu Xuan tore apart the hand that he conjured in midair, leaving a bloody gash on his palm as well.
He was unable to heal his wound. He sensed that the Geng Metal sword aura that Lu Xuan conjured had actually latched onto his wound, preventing it from healing.
That burrowing pain caused his face to look ashen. Veins popped out and throbbed through his forehead.
“Damn it!”
Jiang Tiansheng locked his eyes onto Lu Xuan, who was right before him. He never expected his attack to have failed like that.
Just as Lu Xuan was beginning to get into the fight, Jiang Tiansheng chose to kill Liu Haotian first.
That was because he was no longer as deluded as he was before. He no longer wanted the bloodline of the sacred ones to appear within the Jiang family.
However, that was also why he deemed it imperative to absolutely not let Liu Haotian escape. If he did, that would’ve spelled doom for the future of the entire Jiang family.
If Liu Haotian were to be rescued, the talent imbued in his bloodline meant that he could soon become one of the most powerful fighters who reigned supreme. However, this was only assuming that nobody had killed Liu Haotian right away.
There was no way a lesser clan like the Jiang family could stand against someone so strong.
That was why he didn’t even bother dealing with Lu Xuan. Instead, he went to kill Liu Haotian right away.
Even so, Lu Xuan still managed to get in his way. He easily blocked his attack and even managed to hurt him.
Lu Xuan coldly said, “You just tried to hurt a child. Don’t you think that you’ve gone too far now? Don’t you think you’re being too despicable now?” Having seen through Jiang Tiansheng’s schemes, the burning murderous intent in his eyes greatly intensified.
This is but one of those despicable good-for-nothings.
All over the world, there are just too many people who would betray those who trusted them all over the world. There is only one way of dealing with such despicable people—kill them.
“Kill, kill, kill… I shall kill every single one of such untrustworthy, despicable people in the world.”
Lu Xuan’s rage became utterly unquenchable at the thought of how much the Liu family had suffered the whole time. His rage kept spilling over.
