This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

At this time, halfway up the mountain on the mountainside, a group of people was already waiting seriously.

 These people were all wearing the ancient clothes identifying them as disciples of the Soul-snatcher Sect, and they looked towards Lu Xuan with anger in their eyes.

 On the previous night, they had already confirmed that the elites on the eastern campaign had all been defeated. For the Soul-snatcher Sect, this was not just a vital injury, as it had brought them to the brink of extinction.

 If not for the remaining Sectmaster, most of the people here would likely have deserted the sect in the night.

 Moreover, the elites and masters of the Soul-snatcher Sect that Lu Xuan had slain were all related to them in some way or another.

 “Beat him to death, substitute Vice Sectmaster, and take revenge for the elders!”

 The master leading the group yelled out loudly, as his spirit qi became turbulent. This was actually a Level Six martial arts legend master.

 Although more than ninety percent of the Soul-snatcher Sect’s masters had been eliminated at Lu Xuan’s hands, there were still some masters surviving in the ranks of the Soul-snatcher Sect.

 In the next moment, this group of people quickly drew out the guns they had prepared. They were all armed with AK47s, and even the martial arts legend master in the lead was wielding a massive rocket launcher.

 These weapons were also the main reason they dared to face Lu Xuan right now. Otherwise, based on the information they received the previous night, the Agency of Special Affairs consultants they heard about would at least be a National Guardian level master.

 People like them had no way of resisting him.

 Dadadada!

 In an instant, the light and heavy firearms were fired all together, and a rocket fired from the rocket launcher came flying straight at Lu Xuan.

 Even Lu Xuan momentarily felt the threat from this intense barrage. If the attacks landed head-on, even a Divine level person would be heavily injured.

 Just as everyone thought Lu Xuan would move to evade the attacks, Lu Xuan actually grasped into thin air, and an ancient blood-red bronze sword materialized in his hand.

 Boom!

 The rocket was actually cut mid-flight, exploding in the air, and the terrifying shockwave from the blast rolled outwards, making Lu Xuan’s clothes flutter loudly in the wind.

 Then, in the next moment, a barrage of bullets connected with his body, but they were instantly deflected, unable to penetrate his Shield of Vigor.

 “How is this possible!”

 The Soul-snatcher Sect’s Level Six martial arts legend master went pale with shock. This was entirely outside of his predictions, as even a National Guardian level should have taken heavy damage from a rocket launcher, and might even be instantly killed.

 He had considered the possibility of Lu Xuan dodging the rocket, but he had never imagined that Lu Xuan could cut it and make it explode in mid-air.

 However, he had no time to think about all this, as the ancient blood-red bronze sword flashed through the air in a blood-colored stream of light.

 Splurt!

 The master from the Soul-snatcher Sect was instantly cleaved into two, his eyes still managing to open wide in the moments before his death.

 He could not believe that the person from the rumors could actually be this strong.

 After he had slain the Soul-snatcher Sect’s martial arts legend, Lu Xuan was like a tiger among sheep and began his killing spree.

 With the ancient blood-red bronze sword in his hand, he could easily take away a life with the force from a casual swing of his blade.

 A fearsome scene of a massacre unfolded.

 The heroes from Xinan who had caught up to Lu Xuan only saw him moving about like a fiend, killing everyone without hesitation.

 These heroes from Xinan who were following behind were dumbfounded. Some even sucked in a breath of cold air, while others were almost frightened to death.

 This was a field of slaughter.

 It was especially shocking for many, as the cultivation of most of the people present was not much stronger than the surviving masters of the Soul-snatcher Sect.

 Many of those present were Huajin level masters and had only reached this stage thanks to the revival of spirit qi.

 They had originally been quite satisfied with themselves. After all, in the modern-day era, being at a Huajin level would already make one a master.

 However, they were discovering now that regardless of whether they were Huajin masters or Baodan Grandmasters, it made no difference at all to certain people.

 With one sword strike, he could destroy one existence.

 For the martial arts legends who thought highly of themselves, they felt this even more strongly. Especially when they saw Lu Xuan instantly hack apart another martial arts legend without even blinking, they were filled with dread.

 The three National Guardian level masters on the scene were also reflecting on this. They considered how they would fight back against Lu Xuan in his current state if they were the ones who were his enemy.

 However, they quickly sensed that trying to fight against the current Lu Xuan was a seemingly impossible task.

 In the end, from what they saw now, Lu Xuan was way too powerful, and he was practically wiping the floor with his enemies.

 If the news they heard last night was true, the three National Guardian level masters in the Soul-snatcher Sect had all been killed by Lu Xuan.

 Initially, they had not believed it. As National Guardian level masters themselves, they were basically untouchable in Xinan, and even the Agency of Special Affairs would not thoughtlessly pick a fight with them.

 If they were in a small country in Nanyang, they could overthrow kings and governments, and crown themselves as the king.

 Yet now, they had all gradually come to terms with the news. The combat ability Lu Xuan was currently displaying was indeed enough to defeat a National Guardian level master, and might even be above that level of power.

 “No wonder he dared to come and fight them all by himself. He’s really been prepared from the start!”

 “As the saying goes, ‘only a fierce dragon dares to cross the river’!”

 “He’s still so young, and even if I’m being generous with my estimate, he’s no older than 30, and he already has such strong cultivation. Could he have started cultivating himself while he was still in his mother’s womb?”

 The heroes of Xinan were all thinking about different things, but they shared one thing in common, which was that they were all overwhelmed with shock at Lu Xuan’s frightening combat strength.

 In a few moments, the elites of the Soul-snatcher Sect, who had been putting up an intense resistance, had all been slain by Lu Xuan.

 Even though they had spent many consecutive nights preparing their firepower, they were still helpless before Lu Xuan.

 The remaining regular disciples were scared out of their minds. The feeling Lu Xuan gave them was as though he was a demon who had crawled out of hell itself, and was an unstoppable enemy.

 The Soul-snatcher Sect had never been big on connecting hearts and unity, and many had clung on to the Soul-snatcher Sect to take advantage of its clout.

 Now, it was a clear example of rats leaving a sinking ship. In a brief span of time, many of the Soul-snatcher Sect’s disciples were too afraid to join in the fighting and fled to the four winds.

In the distance, Yun Feiying was observing the happenings through a pair of binoculars, and gave the order, “All troops move out, search in all directions. We must not allow a single one of the Soul-snatcher Sect disciples to escape!”

 Yun Feiying did not want any trouble. They could not afford to let any of the Soul-snatcher Sect’s disciples get away from them now, or there would be trouble for the Agency of Special Affairs in the future.

 They went to the extent of having the troops spread out on a large scale operation to surround and search the mountain.

 A single night was enough time for Yun Feiying to go around and borrow some elite troops from military camps around the area. The purpose of doing so was to ensure that the Soul-snatcher Sect would be thoroughly slain, without a single survivor.

 Lu Xuan did not give chase to the fleeing disciples, as he had sensed from the start that the surrounding forests on the mountains were hiding many soldiers. This was obviously a set-up to completely uproot the Soul-snatcher Sect.

The rest of the work would naturally be left to them.

 As for Lu Xuan, he stepped over the human corpses in his way and made a beeline for the largest and most prominent palace on the mountaintop.

 “Qiu Zhen, you still aren’t coming out to meet your maker?”
