Chapter 723 - Pseudo Ascended State, Wiping Out the Jiang Clan
Chapter 723: Pseudo Ascended State, Wiping Out the Jiang Clan
As Jiang Tiansheng’s eyes darted around, his murderous intent continued to grow.
Lu Xuan just seemed too bizarre to him. He had never seen such a peculiar being in his life.
Jiang Tiansheng coldly said, “You’ve killed so many people of the Jiang Clan. You shall die today!”
Lu Xuan smirked and said, “What’s that? Your heart hurts now, huh? You people have bullied the mother and son from the Liu Clan without a second thought. You’ve even thought about snuffing out the last of the Liu Clan’s bloodline, injecting the bloodline of the sacred ones into your clan. Now you know how much it hurts, don’t you?”
Lu Xuan knew very well what those people were planning. He had seen one too many of such happenings back in his past life.
After all, there was more than just the born Taoism aptitude when it came to special bloodlines.
They were many other types of special physiques that many other people desired. Many other people out there had succeeded in robbing such bloodlines as well.
However, very few people were as despicable as those from the Jiang family when it came to such affairs.
Jiang Tiansheng then said coldly, “I’m trying to save the boy. Do you know how many people out there are trying to skin him right now?”
“Very well. Very well indeed. Now I finally get to see what living examples of despicability and shamelessness look like.”
Lu Xuan smirked and continued, “Enough talk. Time to die!”
Jiang Tiansheng shouted, “You’re one to talk!”
The specter of a flaming devil instantly emerged from behind him. It looked the same as how it would’ve been when the universe first came to be. The devil then clapped at Lu Xuan right away.
Meanwhile, Jiang Tiansheng could tell that Lu Xuan’s aura continued to climb, instantly shooting into the Divine Transformation Realm.
The first tier… the second tier… the third tier.
He soon reached the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Lu Xuan’s aura instantly broke through the seventh tier of Divine Transformation Realm.
His powers climbed to great heights.
That was when he entered a state at which he was about to grow wings and soar. His powers continued to climb.
That was his first time cranking up his powers like that. He felt as if his entire being had reached an indescribably mystical realm; he felt very spiritual as if he was about to ascend into somewhere else.
A golden dragon materialized behind him, going against that terrifying flaming devil.
Boom!
Both parties clashed. Soon enough, Jiang Tiansheng shrieked in pain as that flaming devil above his head was torn apart by the golden dragon. That devil had been a manifestation of his primordial spirit.
At that moment, one could imagine just how grave his injuries were while his primordial spirit was being torn apart.
Pfftt!
Blood spewed from his mouth as he backed away. He was almost killed outright by Lu Xuan before him.
His vision blurred for a second. He then saw Lu Xuan coming before him in an instant, having entered a pseudo-ascended state and regained his Spiritual Aether yet again.
Lu Xuan moved so fast that he looked as if he had teleported, so much so that Jiang Tiansheng was unable to notice him.
“Golden Dragon’s Claw!”
He threw a punch with his Spiritual Aether coiling around his arm, which materialized into a golden dragon claw that blasted onto Jiang Tiansheng right away.
Boom!
The punch penetrated Jiang Tiansheng’s body right away, with the claw tearing a massive hole in his chest.
Blood splattered several meters away in that very instant.
Jiang Tiansheng was sent reeling backward like a kite with its line snapped as he continued to back away.
He looked as if he had just seen a ghost. It was worth noting that despite his powers and that he had just begun to fight Lu Xuan, he was already severely injured and almost died by Lu Xuan’s hands.
He was frightened by how much Lu Xuan was holding back before. The way he saw it, Lu Xuan had definitely been pulling punches before. There was no way he could have suddenly grown that powerful.
That explained why Lu Xuan, despite looking like someone who had no training at all, dared to meddle in the affairs of others. Lu Xuan wasn’t in over his head. Jiang Tiansheng had no idea just how terrifying Lu Xuan truly was.
At that moment, all Jiang Tiansheng could think was, ‘Run!’
He had to run. He couldn’t afford to die there.
However, any attempt to run was futile. Lu Xuan caught up to him right away, moving far faster than him. The Geng Metal Sword in Lu Xuan’s hand blasted a white beam right away, directly hitting Jiang Tiansheng.
Jiang Tiansheng was instantly cleaved into two halves where he stood.
“Damn you!”
Jiang Tiansheng still roared in rage before he died. He couldn’t believe what was happening.
He couldn’t believe that despite his powers, he was so easily killed by Lu Xuan with just several moves.
He regretted having participated in the affair even more. While the bloodline of the sacred ones was formidable, trying to acquire it was just too risky.
After Jiang Tiansheng was cleaved in half, all the remaining elders of the Jiang Clan were immediately terrified by the sight. They all broke out in a cold sweat.
The shock that Lu Xuan dealt had caused all of them to suffer psychological breakdowns.
Even though they all were wary of Lu Xuan, they still thought that they stood a chance of winning before Lu Xuan had ascended even further.
Jiang Tiansheng’s powers were at the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm. There was no doubt that nobody was a match for him.
The way they saw it, there was no way Lu Xuan could beat Jiang Tiansheng.
When Lu Xuan gave it his all, however, they were all thoroughly shocked and frightened.
That was when they all did was Jiang Tiansheng was trying to do before; they tried to run away.
There was literally nothing else they could do at that moment. Lingering any longer would only lead to Lu Xuan coming for them. That would have spelled their doom.
There seemed to be a fire burning in Lu Xuan’s eyes at that moment. He waved and the Geng Metal Sword shot to the sky, growing in size as it climbed to greater heights. It ultimately materialized into a massive sword well over 300 meters before long.
A boundless sword aura formed a screen of swords, which then all blasted from the Geng Metal Sword.
All of the elders from the Jiang Clan that were about to run were shrouded within. It took only mere moments to pierce them by the boundless sword aura and kill them where they stood.
It was only then that the fighting was truly over. That unimaginably massive amount of Spiritual Aether that Lu Xuan clad himself with finally dispersed without a trace.
He dropped from the sky as well.
That was the first time that he had ever reached such a state. Despite having only returned to the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm for mere moments and fighting for a little bit, he had already expended 300 thousand mid-tier spirit stones.
One could’ve imagined just how massive the drain was.
It was worth noting that even the red-browed immortal from the Divine Blood Church back then had only brought about a million mid-tier spirit stones on him. It was also important to consider the fact that he had been at the ninth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.
One could then figure out just how hefty 300 thousand was in a situation like this.
Furthermore, he had only battled for mere moments.
At that moment, not far away, Liu Haotian knelt by Aunt Liu’s side as he cried. “Aunt Liu, don’t go! Don’t leave me behind, please!”
Aunt Liu continued coughing up blood and said, “This is the end for me. Young master, I’m sorry that I could no longer walk the path from here on out with you.”
She apparently knew of the extent of her injuries. She would have died shortly after, and the very reason she could even last that long was that she had been using a secret art.
Having suffered a heavy blow like that had only worsened her injuries.
She was truly beyond saving by then.
Lu Xuan walked up to them slowly and sighed at the sight of Aunt Liu, who was about to breathe her last. She was so badly injured that not even Lu Xuan could save her.
