Chapter 734: Killing the Great Ancestor of the Jiang Family
The difference hardly mattered to Lu Xuan. As he currently was, he didn’t have the ability to fight for long, either.
That one punch alone had cost him 200,000 mid-tier spirit stones already.
All of his current powers were used for transforming his body to reach the Nirvana state. As such, every single attack he pulled at that moment had cost him all the mid-tier spirit stones that he had accumulated.
Even if he were to just maintain his current form at the Divine Transformation Realm and do nothing else, he would still have had to spend 500 mid-tier spirit stones every second.
As such, time was of the essence to him as well; he too lacked the ability to drag the fight out for long.
Both parties wanted to end the fight as quickly as possible. None of them wanted to drag the fight out longer than necessary.
The Great Ancestor became even more terrifying after that attack failed to do its job. The aura all over his body had actually grown afterward.
At this point, he had nothing left to fear. Even if he succeeded in killing Lu Xuan, he would still perish. Given that, he vowed to drag Lu Xuan to hell with him no matter what it took.
He charged at Lu Xuan with the spear in his hand, moving like a meteor that was about to hit the ground.
Boom!
When both sides clashed, the spear actually caused Lu Xuan to bleed.
Many gasped at the sight. Despite having fought so many other people before this, this was the first time Lu Xuan was ever injured in a fight.
His performance before this had been too utterly shocking. Regardless of the attacks he faced, none managed to even hurt him. Such a physique and performance had far exceeded their expectations.
Now, however, the spear managed to hurt him.
That fiery-red spear that the Jiang family’s Great Ancestor held was a top-tier spiritual weapon. It wouldn’t have been able to hurt Lu Xuan otherwise.
Drip, drip.
As the blood dripped out of him, his face never changed. It took only mere moments for his wound to be completely healed.
On the other hand, the Great Ancestor of the Jiang family violently spat out blood and wobbled as he backed away. This was a clear indication that he had taken a severe blow.
The look in his eyes flickered with intense murderous intent.
“It’s true that I won’t last long, but what about you? Do you think you can last 10 moves? Even if you do, then what? People all over the world want you dead. By then, even a child by the roadside could easily kill you.”
The Great Ancestor could see Lu Xuan’s current condition. While he didn’t know what kind of tricks Lu Xuan used to amplify his powers this much, he knew that Lu Xuan still couldn’t afford to fight for long.
Right now, that was Lu Xuan’s greatest weakness.
Lu Xuan was able to sense intense malice not only in the Great Ancestor’s words but also from how many people were looking at him.
After what that Great Ancestor said, Lu Xuan would become someone’s target even after winning against the Great Ancestor.
At first, most people wouldn’t have dared to cause trouble for Lu Xuan, as his performance was just too frighteningly shocking. No one would have dared to get on the nerves of a killing machine capable of killing anyone with just a single move.
However, the current situation was now different. After knowing that he was unable to fight for long, many would have had thought differently as well.
Whether it was because of all those miracles that he performed or because of Liu Haotian, many around them saw that those two were walking pieces of treasures. It was unlikely that they would let them go so easily.
The Great Ancestor had also done what he did in an attempt to mess up Lu Xuan’s will.
Then again, he still underestimated Lu Xuan. Despite his youthful appearance, Lu Xuan had far more combat experience than the Great Ancestor did. Thus, something like that wouldn’t have fazed him.
Lu Xuan smirked as he asked, “You’ve already dug yourself into quite a hole, yet you’re still thinking of having others do your dirty work for you?”
The Great Ancestor’s aura continued to climb. His powers didn’t show any signs of weakening. He had instead gotten even more powerful, thrusting his spear right away at Lu Xuan.
That thrust was as menacing as it could’ve been; the spear practically served as an extension of his arm.
The Great Ancestor looked like a spear that was capable of penetrating anything standing in his way.
Boom!
Both of them clashed again.
Both parties went at each other’s throats, clashing several times.
They traded several blows upon impact, spilling blood with every move.
The Great Ancestor kept coughing blood as he burned his own lifeforce to fight such a battle, yet he was still unable to hold on for long. His appearance aged and withered at an alarming rate.
All those attacks were massive burdens to his body after all.
On the other side, Lu Xuan was injured as well. He had only been able to maintain something akin to an ascended state using the White Sun Soaring Sutra, which completely paled in comparison to his actual level of power.
If he were actually at the ninth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm himself, he would have probably been able to snuff the Great Ancestor out with just a single punch.
Despite his limitations, he still had the upper hand; any injury that he sustained from that fire dragon spear was quickly healed.
That was the advantage that came with being young.
Everyone could tell that the victor was now determined. Lu Xuan’s performance at that moment was simply extraordinary. While the Great Ancestor’s powers continued to climb, his condition all over continued to decline instead.
He wouldn’t have been able to take many more blows, so much so that it wouldn’t be surprising to see him being eliminated with just a single blow. Everything he said about dealing with Lu Xuan in 10 moves or less was all a bluff.
Lu Xuan’s condition consistently remained at its peak throughout the whole time. Any injury he sustained could be quickly healed.
Messy punches from inexperienced younglings could kill a seasoned, aged master. That was how things seemed between them.
Everyone was able to tell that even if Lu Xuan were to just drag the battle out, he could afford to do so until the Great Ancestor crumbled.
That was the difference between the two of them.
“One move is more than enough to kill you!”
As the Great Ancestor roared, all of his powers grew as his aura was ignited. He put everything he got behind the next thrust that was to come.
Completely cornered, the Great Ancestor was planning to take Lu Xuan down with him via murder-suicide.
The blast of the spear tore through space, drowning Lu Xuan like a torrent. There was no evading the blast.
That was the strongest attack that the Great Ancestor could pull after burning all of his lifeforce. That was a type of sacrificial method at work; he offered everything he had if it meant crushing all of his enemies standing before him.
Boom!
Everyone focused their attention on a massive mushroom-shaped cloud that was rising from the clash.
Someone was seen emerging from the cloud. A terrifying blast of the sword was seen tearing the space, blasting onto that Great Ancestor right away.
Clang!
The Great Ancestor’s spear managed to block the attack from the sword aura, yet it was broken shortly afterward.
The attack then simply continued to move without stopping after cutting down the spear, bisecting the Great Ancestor right away.
Pfftt!
That Great Ancestor was bisected. His body blew up, spraying blood everywhere as his remains hit the ground.
The Great Ancestor of the Jiang family had been killed in the blink of an eye. His attack drowned Lu Xuan, yet the young man only emerged later to kill him. The process was so quick that nobody was able to react to it in time.
Only then did they notice that the Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell was spinning leisurely above Lu Xuan.
