Chapter 79: Killing Martial Arts Legends like Chickens
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Both Master Ying and Yin Tianming seemed to have backed away at the same time, letting their underlings stand before them.
Both men had experienced just how terrifying Lu Xuan had been firsthand, and none of them dared to stay around for long.
Lu Xuan had also brought his true power as a level seven National Guardian to bear at that moment.
The underlings who served both men were at least formidable fighters at HuaJin levels. While they were not all that many, they would have been able to cause a huge commotion nonetheless.
However, none of that proved to have been of any use.
Boom!
Lu Xuan’s punch landed on one of them, and that man was sent flying, killed on the spot.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Lu Xuan kept attacking, with any of his single attacks racking up one kill, as none had been able to stand before his attacks.
Anyone whom his attacks connected with was sent flying. Anybody close enough to be caught in the wake of Lu Xuan’s might was sent flying as well.
Fighters dropped like flies around him in mere moments. Lu Xuan was being very heavy-handed, showing no mercy at all.
Anybody met with his attacks dropped dead right away.
Even though the underlings had been willing to serve as shields, their actions were unable to buy much time for their bosses.
Lu Xuan was just too powerful.
The two of them seemed to have run away in different directions, hoping to buy time for themselves.
However, Lu Xuan quickly chased down one of them. His first target was Yin Tianming. He leaped from the ground where he stood, coming right before his target’s back in an instant.
Yin Tianming was thoroughly frightened by then. However, given how his arms were already rendered useless, he was unable to fight back at all.
Lu Xuan chased the man down and launched a palm attack at him.
Boom!
Lu Xuan’s hand hit Yin Tianming’s body right away, shattering the man’s Shield of Vigor, which had been strong enough to withstand being hit by bullets, but evidently, not Lu Xuan’s attack.
Yin Tianming fell to the ground in an instant, puking blood and even some bits of his insides.
He was dead as soon as the attack connected.
Lu Xuan then chased Master Ying, who ran in the other direction, right away.
The female police officer, who was watching from afar, saw how Lu Xuan closed in on the vast distance as if it had only been inches, flashing right behind Master Ying and putting him down.
Master Ying was killed right away.
It was only then that the fight finally drew to a close.
Everyone present was still steeped in the horrifying onslaught that just happened.
“Two Martial Arts Legends. Killed without a thought, like how one would kill chickens.” It was only then that Chen Nian finally confirmed that he had made the right decision all along.
He initially had doubts about his decision back then, and all those doubts were thrown out of the window by what he just saw.
Any Martial Arts Legends would have been enough to wipe out the entire Chen Clan.
Yet, those people were killed without their killer even breaking a sweat doing so.
It was utterly mind-blowing.
That was how Chen Nian felt about what he had just seen.
The female officer shared his thoughts as well. While she knew that some warriors were exceptionally formidable, she had no idea that they could be so freakishly powerful.
Her gun would not be any good if she were to meet pinnacle masters at such levels.
She finally realized what her master told her before for real, that one would not need to fear firearms when they had become powerful enough.
Those words were not tall tales; those words were the truth.
“How may I address you, Sir?” The female officer decided to head up and ask after mulling where she stood for a while.
“Me? I’m Lu Xuan. I’m considered your colleague in some manner of speaking. I’m a consultant of the Special Task Force. I assume that you know of them, given your level of training. Just tell them to come clean up the place,” Lu Xuan said.
“You should know that what happened here shouldn’t be known to common folk as well. I believe you know how to handle this.”
The female officer nodded. She was a cultivator herself, so she definitely knew of the legendary Special Task Force.
However, she was astonished by the fact that the man who stood before her was a consultant to the Special Task Force.
She felt it all to be surreal, judging by Lu Xuan’s age.
But then, she quickly recalled his extraordinary fighting prowess showcased just mere moments ago, and it all made sense.
The Special Task Force had indeed been as legendary, as it had been known to be, judging from how even just a consultant was already that formidable.
At least 365 matters related to the Special Task Force bloomed in the officer’s mind at the moment, which then further spread into realms of the surreal and unthinkable as her thoughts went on.
Lu Xuan paid no heed to what the female officer thought. He headed straight for the depths of the warehouse. There were five briefcases sitting untouched in there.
They were probably the goods meant to be traded.
Lu Xuan was able to easily open all of them, and he was elated by what he found.
There was a ring found in the first briefcase he opened. The ring had a rustic appearance, and a lifelike dragon was carved onto it.
“The Coiling Dragon Ring!”
Lu Xuan was able to tell the ring’s origins right away because he possessed the ring once back in his past life.
However, it was over 20 years from the present time back in his past life when he came into possession of the ring. Furthermore, he got the ring from others.
He totally did not expect to see the ring at that moment.
He was so elated because he knew of the ring’s origin, which had once been a very powerful artifact lost to the world. It happened after Liu Bowen severed the dragon’s vein, causing the Spirit Qi in the world to eventually dissipate.
The ring then lost its sapience in time.
The greatest use of one such ring of cosmos when it returned to full power in his hand, back in his past life, was to allow him to hold objects almost the size of a planet.
The ring stayed on his person for a very, very long time.
The space within it, at the moment, was, of course, nowhere near that huge. It needed constant nourishment, and its powers would differ according to the prowess of its wearer.
To Lu Xuan, at the moment, that ring was sufficiently powerful and was a very practical piece of equipment. However, the ring came with very high requirements. One would have needed to convert their level seven National Guardian level internal force into Spiritual Qi before they would be able to use the ring.
Lu Xuan assumed that not even the seller of the Coiling Dragon Ring knew of what truly made the ring so extraordinary. The seller would not have so easily sold the ring to others if they knew.
Spatial power items had always been comparatively the most valuable power items in existence. Many would not have parted with them after getting their hands on them.
Lu Xuan quickly put the ring on his finger.
Other than the Coiling Dragon Ring, he also found a rustic-looking blade, the body of which was surprising made of bronze. It glittered mildly with a thin sheen of blood-like colors.
It was apparent that the blade killed many and had feasted on their blood, which gradually gave it sentience and a mind of its own.
However, items that gained sentience in such a bloody manner would have been utterly bloodthirsty things. If the user of such items were to be unable to keep up both in mind and in training, they would have probably been enthralled by the blade eventually, reduced to a puppet who knew of nothing but killing.
But then again, none of that mattered to Lu Xuan. He picked the blade up right away, and the blood-like sheen glowed all over the blade. Killing intent seemed to have manifested on the blade, intending to invade Lu Xuan’s mind.
Lu Xuan dispelled all that killing intent with a simple snort, overwhelming the blade’s will through the sheer force of his Mental Strength.
