This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

Chapter 192: Just Some Desperate Move from Someone about to meet his Doom

That blade came down, but the attack did not end up cutting Lu Xuan in half as everyone had expected.

Instead, everyone saw a golden dragon materialize around Lu Xuan. That blade landed on the golden dragon, yet it was unable to faze that conjured animal.

Lu Xuan looked like a golden dragon in human form at that moment, with both of his arms acting the claws of the dragon.

“What the hell?”

Luo Zihong was repelled by the formidable recoil, staring at what just happened with his jaw gaping open, unable to believe what just happened.

He was able to tell that Lu Xuan had probably defended using Shield of Vigor, but he had never seen Shields of Vigor capable of taking such forms.

He had only heard of the legendary Golden Bell technique, which, when perfected to the extreme, would allow the user to materialize a huge gold-colored bell around them, shrouding them within. That was what gave the move its name.

However, what Lu Xuan pulled was not the Golden Bell, a golden dragon form that was apparently of a far higher class than the Golden Bell.

The golden dragon shrouding Lu Xuan appeared life-like. It was as if it could take off at any given moment. It was a testament to Lu Xuan’s mastery of Spiritual Qi manipulation to mystical heights.

The golden dragon’s protection was such that it would possibly survive even a direct hit from a missile.

It was impossible for Invincible Vajras to develop such terrifying defenses, and Lu Xuan was the only person, trained in the Golden Dragon Fist of the Nine Heavens, capable of conjuring one such golden dragon.

In truth, that was a kind of Shield of Vigor that came with the entire package of the fist techniques, which was named the “True Body of the Golden Dragon.”

The presence of one such technique allowed the user to cover both offense and defense perfectly, which was why the fist technique was known to be unmatched by any other.

That was also the set of techniques that enabled Lu Xuan to remain undefeated in his past life. He defeated countless powerful enemies and made it through countless ordeals, using said set of fist techniques.

As such, Lu Xuan was able to naturally bring those techniques to the fore without much practice at the moment.

Everyone else present was stunned by the golden dragon shrouding Lu Xuan at the moment, which was glittering with golden light. Anyone else who was oblivious to what was happening might be wondering if some mystical film was being filmed.

The phenomenon at the moment almost made Lu Xuan look godlike.

That was also what the spectators thought right away.

Lu Xuan made his move again while everyone else remained stunned by the phenomenon. He had taken the staff in the Old Nanhai Staff Master’s hands away with only one hand.

The Old Nanhai Staff Master’s hands, which gripped the staff tightly, were turned to mush when the staff was being pulled out.

It was worth noting that Invincible Vajra level fighters were capable of incredible feats of raw strength, making it so that it was apt to describe them as having strength rivaling that of gods.

That was what happened with generals displaying unparalleled feats of strength in ancient times.

However, that staff was nonetheless yanked out of his hand by Lu Xuan just like that.

“Sh*t!”

The Staff Master knew that the odds were stacked against him right away.

However, there was nowhere to run by that moment. Lu Xuan waved the staff about, displaying an intricate set of moves with the staff.

The Staff Master was utterly stunned. He had been training in the art of the staff for his entire life, and he was still unable to display something so intricate. Yet, he was able to see Lu Xuan pulling something like that right before his eyes, and that confused him thoroughly.

He was unable to do much at the moment. Despite having reacted in time and intended to run, he was caught in the flash of the staff brought out by Lu Xuan.

The staff hit him squarely, pummeling him to the ground right away. Half of his body was turned to pieces from that one attack.

An injury like that would have easily killed a common folk with no training at all.

It would have killed fighters at the Deity level.

Only Invincible Vajra level fighters, who were of unusually brimming life force, so much that they were said to be on their way to becoming something else fundamentally, would be able to survive such an attack.

But then again, that attack beat him within an inch of his life nonetheless. That one attack almost killed him.

“So you’re alive. Great reflexes indeed!”

Lu Xuan said plainly, sounding somewhat surprised. He had expected that attack with the staff to kill the Old Nanhai Staff Master right away after all.

He utterly did not expect the Old Nanhai Staff Master to actually survive and be able to hold on that long.

Luo Zihong was barely able to get to his feet during that brief window given at that moment, glaring at Lu Xuan was he did.

He never expected Lu Xuan to be that powerful.

He thought Lu Xuan would definitely end up killed when he set Lu Xuan up, due to it being one-against-four after all.

However, reality proved more brutal than he anticipated.

Lu Xuan was more like a monster than a human, in his perspective.

“You’ve forced my hand.”

Luo Zihong knew that he had no other choice then. If Lu Xuan were to be able to stay, he would be the one who ended up killed instead.

Boooom!

Luo Zihong activated his secret art. All the silver hair on his head disappeared in an instant, having turned black again.

He looked a lot younger as well, and his life force became terrifyingly formidable. Many were even able to sense the strength of his life force from afar.

But then again, everyone knew that it was only a facade. That was probably the work of some kind of secret art, as there was no way for Luo Zihong to return to his prime right away.

At the same time, all of them knew that Luo Zihong was indeed cornered, due to him being forced to use one such secret art.

The more apparent the effects of secret arts like that, the greater the cost incurred.

Not only did Luo Zihong get a full head of jet black hair in an instant again, but his powers seemed to have grown twice what they were right away as well.

Secret arts like that were no joke, and the cost that came with their activation was probably staggering.

Even if he were to be able to stay alive that day, his days would have been numbered, nonetheless.

Luo Zihong probably never anticipated all of them having to pay such a high price just to surround and kill Lu Xuan.

He even had to pay with his life just to do so.

There was no doubt that Lu Xuan was powerful, given how he was able to corner Luo Zihong to such an extent.

Lu Xuan did not stop Luo Zihong right away. Despite having grown twice as powerful, Lu Xuan still thought the old man was beneath him.

“Just some desperate move from someone about to meet his doom.”

Lu Xuan smirked.

“You shall die here today, Lu Xuan!”

Luo Zihong held onto his blade. His black hair billowed in the wind at that moment, giving him the illusion that he was back in his prime again.

Shoop!

He brought the blade in his hands down. A sword aura that was several meters long was unleashed, in a bid to kill Lu Xuan right away.

The feeling of being so powerful was just great. It was initially and utterly impossible for him to conjure a sword aura of such a level with ease before.

However, every single attack he was able to bring about at the moment would be just as powerful.

He thought it a pity that his youth was just an illusion, as he deemed such strength would have made him invincible if it were something permanent.

“Golden Dragon Claws!”

Lu Xuan launched a single, simple punch in the form of a golden dragon claw yet again, which tore the sword aura apart in midair right away.

However, it did not take long for Luo Zihong to unleash his very next attack. Sword aura from all directions came down on Lu Xuan, as Luo Zihong unleashed over a dozen attacks in an instant, blocking off everything and intending to tear Lu Xuan to shreds.

Lu Xuan unleashed yet another attack with the golden dragon claw. That flurry of attacks was reduced to nothing within an instant.
