It was at that moment that he came to realize, why Lu Xuan remained completely unfazed by that the threats the few of them threw at him.

What Lu Xuan just did make it look like a grown-up beating children up. One swing of the sword for each of them.

It could even be said that they fell one by one before Lu Xuan used anywhere near his full power.

What just happened look like a joke to him.

Their delusions of thinking that they were able to take out Lu Xuan looked like some ridiculous joke.

Lu Xuan had been cutting down both Zhu Wuzhi the Sword Specter and Young Master Gui so quickly, that he was unable to even properly react to what just happened.

He kept his hands to himself when he was able to attack.

At that moment however, he no longer even had the courage to attack. That alone was pathetic enough.

The entire place was dead silent at that moment.

Everyone present was stunned.

Everyone’s minds became blank at that moment, as if they were all completely stunned by the massacre Lu Xuan brought on those two.

He actually managed to cut Young Master Gui and Zhu Wuzhi down, with just a single swing of the sword each?

So this is how capable Lu Xuan, the man who was almost known to be the one who reign supreme all over the world, is then? He definitely lives up to his reputation.

He was already so damn powerful a year ago. Just imagine what kind of height his power reached right now then. It’s just unbelievable.

Seems like Lu Xuan didn’t get so powerful a year ago for nothing then.

Countless thoughts flashed in the minds of the spectators, yet no one dared to voice any of those thoughts.

Everyone was shaking by then, fearing that Lu Xuan might actually get a little too trigger-happy and go on to take out all of them.

They had no utterly no doubt of Lu Xuan having the power and the guts to pull off something like that.

He was able to kill even the likes of Young Master Gui and Zhu Wuzhi the Sword Specter after all, and that meant that he would have had no problems taking out small fries like them as well.

“Well then, any intentions of attacking now?” Lu Xuan turned around to face Li Zihan, smiling as he said.

Li Zihan was shaking all over by then, feeling as if the reaper was walking up to him.

“N-Not actually, Mr. Lu. I-I was just getting blinded by what those two said earlier.”

Li Zihan had no idea why he said what he just said. He sounded like a pathetic embarrassment, but he had no other choice. If he were to say anything else that sounded out of place, he knew without a doubt that Lu Xuan would have just taken his head without second thoughts.

“That’s right.” Lu Xuan nodded satisfyingly. “You young people should dedicate yourselves to your training, instead of sticking your nose into other people’s mess. You should just train hard and turn a deaf ear to rumors and whatnot. You see it now? Don’t you think that you’re now getting your a** handed to you, before you refuse to listen to your elders eh?”

“Y-Yes, indeed, indeed. You are indeed correct, Mr. Lu,” Li Zihan answered right away, feeling himself drenched in cold sweat as he continued to shake.

Everyone else present felt the scene to look very, very bizarre at the moment.

Lu Xuan was the one who looked a lot younger than Li Zihan to begin with, yet it appeared at the moment, that the former was teaching the latter a lesson, like an elder would to a junior.

Yet, all of them felt the bizarre-looking scene to nonetheless be very, very apt somehow instead.

Lu Xuan then nodded satisfyingly after that, before turning around and leaving the place.

He had no intentions of killing Li Zihan as well, as he saw the extra act to be pointless. If it had not been for Zhu Wuzhi insisting on getting in his way, he might not have killed Zhu Wuzhi as well.

All those people acted as if they were big shots of some kind, yet in Lu Xuan’s eyes, they were just some insignificant, nameless faces.

It did not take him more than a thought to go about killing someone.

The one he intended to kill was just Young Master Gui and no one else, doing so only to tie up loose ends.

The place finally and gradually became rowdy again, some time after Lu Xuan left.

“That was scary. Now I finally know why he was able to reigned supreme all over the world a year ago.”

“He still is the best of the best even right now!”

“Is he even still at Celestial Realm? Why do I get the feeling that he became something else altogether? It felt like comparing a matchlock to a gatling gun; guns that were not even of the same era and the same capabilities, man!”

“Gosh, so powerful. Such a walking cheat indeed.”

“How are things different now from a year ago eh? Everyone thought everything changed within a year, yet Lu Xuan taught everyone a lesson with his own sheer power, making everyone realize that things still stayed the same as far as he’s concerned. He could just kill anyone he feels like killing. He killed Celestials like dogs a year ago and he’s still capable of doing so now, killing Celestials like killing dogs!”

Everyone was getting really unsettled. Some among them turned to look at Li Zihan, who behaved extremely like a pushover earlier, yet no one felt that he had done anything wrong.

If it had been any of them, they would have probably behaved even more meekly, getting to their knees before Lu Xuan at the first opportunity to do so.

They were able to completely understand how he felt, as it was almost like they witnessed with their own eyes, how easily Lu Xuan disposed of Zhu Wuzhi and Young Master Gui after all.

They did not even dare to breathe out loud when witnessing what just happened, fearing that they would catch Lu Xuan’s attention, who would possibly kill them out of annoyance.

They did not even dare to move a muscle.

Due to how they behaved earlier, they naturally would not look down on Li Zihan, who was utterly frightened by what just happened.

Lu Xuna was not a man; he was a monster.

There was only one thought that everyone shared—my god, that was sh** scary!

The news of Lu Xuan gatecrashing the Convention of Geniuses and went on a killing spree, cutting down two notable geniuses in the northwestern region, was spread all over the internet almost right away.

The phenomenon felt like an atomic bomb just detonated in the internet right away.

The influence of the cultivators over common folks grew over the course of the past year. Many came to learn that there had been a lone cultivator a year ago, who almost beaten every single notable cultivator in the world, through his very own powers alone.

That man killed the legendary Count Dracula.

He was lauded as legend among legends.

Many felt it to be a pity that they would never be able to see Lu Xuan again.

No one knew that Lu Xuan actually appeared yet again under such circumstances.

The impact was even more profound among the cultivators, as it felt like an earthquake of 8.0 Richter Scale just went off among the circle in a single night.

Lu Xuan was widely declared dead a year ago, and many came to gradually accept that was what happened to that goliath of a human, over the course of the past year or so.

Yet, said goliath actually returned.

Many recalled the fear of being overwhelmed by him.

The man who killed any he thought of killing, the man who brought down clans and sects single-handedly as he saw fit.

That brimming aura of a man making good of his bizarre claims, still struck intense fear into many sects and rendered many shivering, when they came to think of it.

The reemergence of Lu Xuan brought about a gift, in the form of deaths of two beings at Celestial Realm, to announce his return to the whole wide world.

It was especially so to the Huashan Sect.

Their first and eldest disciple, Zhu Wuzhi the Sword Specter, was easily killed like a dog, whose head was sent flying with a swing of the sword.

The Huashan Sect was first so shocked that they kept silent for a while, before coming to burn with intense fury.
