Chapter 276: One Slash, One Kill

Li Zihan thought about it carefully. While doing so would have offended Lu Xuan, he would have nonetheless got himself several powerful allies.

He deemed Lu Xuan to be just another one at Celestial Realm, which meant that the other man was less than able to cause any serious trouble.

“You all sure that you wanna side with Young Master Gui then?” Lu Xuan said with a smirk, even though he was facing against three people at Celestial Realm, which was a terrifying lineup more than enough to shake up a small nation.

Yet, Lu Xuan appeared completely unfazed.

“You are correct.” Li Zihan nodded.

“Cut the chatter and let’s see how good you are with a sword. You best be powerful enough. Don’t blame me if you end up dead by my hands otherwise,” Zhu Wuzhi smirked coldly and added. Sword will boiled all around him, making him look like a sword that had been unsheathed.

Young Master Gui came near from somewhere not far away. His eerily cold demonic aura enveloped the entire place. Many young cultivators sensed it right away, feeling as if the temperature of the atmosphere of the entire place dropped by several degrees all of a sudden.

Their level of cultivation meant that they were long immune to conventional heat and cold, yet that feeling of coldness came not from temperature changes, but from his demonic aura.

That was a feeling of cold that struck into a person’s heart.

Boom!

Zhu Wuzhi made his move first. His entire person acted like a sword being drawn from its sheath, gleaming with a threatening sheen as a frightening flash of the sword blasted away.

That flash was incredibly dazzling, drawing an arc in the air and traveled at lightning speed.

Everyone present was shocked, feeling that flash of his sword was terrifyingly dazzling.

That attack was about to hit Lu Xuan before long.

At that moment, he looked as if he had been completely dazed. He appeared like he was unable to react in time at all. The attack then hit him squarely.

All manner of thoughts flashed in the minds of all present in that very instant.

“So that Lu Xuan is just all fluff with no substance then? So he doesn’t actually have what it takes then?”

“Was he completely dazed by that attack? Would he end up being a legend that was ended by just one attack?”

“Damn! Am I witnessing a historical moment today?”

However, before anyone finished running all those thoughts in their heads, Lu Xuan disappeared from where he stood before anyone knew it.

Boom!

Everyone heard nothing more than a rumble. That previous attack ended up destroying over half of the arena’s flooring.

But then again, Lu Xuan was nowhere to be seen, and the scene where he ended up being cut in half did not happen at all.

“Over there!”

Someone exclaimed. Everyone turned their heads around and found Lu Xuan appearing right before Zhu Wuzhi the Sword Specter, before anyone knew what just happened.

Lu Xuan was then seen grabbing at the air before him, conjuring a terrifying bolt of sword aura in his hand, which was then thrown across the air and sliced Zhu Wuzhi’s head off right away.

Zhu Wuzhi’s eyes remained wide opened, completely unable to believe that Lu Xuan was able to go that far with attacks.

He was unable to even react in time. He did not even know since when did Lu Xuan appear right before him.

All martial arts in the world had weaknesses to be exploited, with only superior speed reigned supreme.

He finally realized that concept, yet it was an awakening that cost him his life.

He only realized by then, that the way of the sword that he was so proud of, was probably nothing more than child’s play in Lu Xuan’s eyes.

Lu Xuan turned his eyes at Young Master Gui after cutting down Zhu Wuzhi, which sent shivers running down Young Master Gui’s back. He was just about to attack, when he saw Zhu Wuzhi killed by just a swing of the sword.

“He took only one slash. One slash!”

Young Master Gui was howling in a frenzy deep down. He knew Lu Xuan was powerful, but he had only expected the other man to only be somewhat more powerful than he was. He never expected to see the other man kill Zhu Wuzhi the Sword Specter, with just a single swing of the sword.

It was worth noting that Zhu Wuzhi’s powers were every bit on par with that of Young Master Gui’s.

One could imagine just how greatly that one attack from Lu Xuan moments earlier shocked him.

The shock was so intense that alarms seemed to be blaring all over his mind right there and then.

“Your turn now.”

Lu Xuan said casually and he looked totally at ease. It was apparent that he did not take what just happened to be something noteworthy. He simply cast his gaze at Young Master Gui afterwards.

Young Master Gui was feeling goosebumps all over his body and every single hair on his body seemed to be standing up. He felt as if he just ran into some extremely terrifying beast.

“Don’t even think that you’d have your way, Lu Xuan!”

Young Master Gui roared and a terrifying shadow shot out of his body right away. That shadow was a specter general.

That general’s power was even on par with any other at Celestial Realm. Young Master Gui was only able to sustain summoning that general to battle for a brief moment, by feeding the general his own lifeblood.

But then again, summoning a being with combat prowess at Celestial Realm level, even just for a brief moment, meant that he had the power of two Celestial Realm beings at his command.

That was what made him so confident, that he dared to take on anyone in the world.

That specter general charged at Lu Xuan while howling at full might, looking extremely eerie as it launched like a gust of wind.

“You bit more than you can chew.”

Lu Xuan only smirked as he brought the sword aura conjured by the Spiritual Qi in his hand, down onto the general as it got near.

Crasshh!

That specter general was cut in half by that sword aura right away as soon as it touched the blade.

At that moment, the crowd found that Young Master Gui actually transformed into a gust of demonic aura, intending to flee the scene right away.

He came to completely realize at that moment, that he stood no chance at all when facing off against Lu Xuan, making winning against the other man utterly impossible.

He cast all of his supposed allies away, which definitely included Li Zihan.

He swore that he would take revenge so long as he was able to escape.

However, a blast of sword aura rained from above before he was able to finish his thoughts. After Lu Xuan was done cutting down the general, that bolt of sword aura went on to hit Young Master Gui at blinding speeds, and with unnerving accuracy like the attack had eyes of its own.

Young Master Gui was yet another to get cleaved in half.

He was unable to even take one single attack, just like how it was with Zhu Wuzhi.

He was taken down with just a single attack.

“How could this be…” Young Master Gui was unable to believe it all, at how weak he was before Lu Xuan.

He made his calculations prior, that he was supposed to be able to flee.

Despite how powerful Lu Xuan was, it would have at least taken him so time to deal with that specter general, even though summoning one such being took severe toll on Young Master Gui.

But then again, there was no point of holding back at the moment, for it was either him or the specter general to end up dead. It was a no-brainer; there was no way he could let himself be killed over that general.

However, none expected Lu Xuan’s power to be 10 times more terrifying than what he speculated Lu Xuan to be. It took only a single attack to take both him and the general down right on the spot.

Lu Xuan pulled his sword aura back, before turning around to look at Li Zihan behind him.

Li Zihan was shaking all over at that moment. His entire body was drenched from bursting into cold sweat.

He was rendered completely frozen by then.

His eyes, when looking at Lu Xuan, looked like ones that were looking at some ancient beast of disasters.

Lu Xuan actually managed to keep him frozen with just one look.

Lu Xuan cut Zhu Wuzhi the Sword Specter down with one slash, and then did the same to Young Master Gui shortly after.

The entire process made it seem unbelievably easy.

That young man was truly a terrifying walking disaster.

He then wondered what actually made him dare to get on the bad side of one such walking disaster mere moments ago.
