Chapter 46
For Lu Xuan, who had faced so many formidable opponents in his previous life, someone like Chen Jiashang, who became a martial arts legend by eating the special fruit and accelerating their cultivation, was really nothing to him.
Especially now that Lu Xuan was at least several times more powerful than he was in his previous life in the same realm, Chen Jiashang was not even worth mentioning any longer.
And this scene, in the eyes of the on-lookers, could only be perceived as something incredibly terrifying!
They were both considered martial arts legends, but Chen Jiashang was easily taken down with a simple kick from Lu Xuan.
They did not even engage in a vicious battle as many of them had imagined. Just by trying out a few simple moves, the fight was ended. There was little room for doubt about the difference in the strength of the two fighters.
Even Lin Sheng, who knew from early on about Lu Xuan’s strength, was shaken to his core. He was no match for Lu Xuan from the start, but he had believed that it was because of a gap between their realms.
If that were the case, it would be perfectly normal for him not to match up to Lu Xuan.
However, looking at the evidence before him, it was not that he was too weak; Lu Xuan was simply too strong.
Even an opponent in the same realm was easily defeated by a kick. It would be out of the question for someone like him, who was in a lower realm, to beat Lu Xuan.
“Hurry up and get to work!” Lu Xuan barked.
In a short time, Square-faced Fatso had leaped up with a group of men, taking away Chen Jiashang, who was heavily injured from the kick and was no longer a threat to anyone.
Many of the people watching were dumbfounded, as they did not know what was happening. They could not see these people dressed in black trench coats as anything other than members of a villainous organization.
They did not look like good people.
However, some recognized and knew of the Agency of Special Affairs, and they kept their peace, knowing the seriousness of the situation.
They were aware that such a department existed in Huaxia, which specialized in dealing with Cultivators and affairs related to them. They were given a lot of authority and were much more difficult to deal with than other ordinary government departments.
Naturally, they did not dare to say anything.
At this point, the entire Chen family was also completely stunned. They originally thought that this would be the night when the Chen family would rise up, as they had all bore witness to the strength of Chen Jiashang.
The idea that a martial arts legend was indomitable was deeply rooted in their hearts and minds.
Yet now, their own martial arts legend, who they believed to be invincible, had been brought down in a single blow. So much for the rise of the Chen family and their dreams of sweeping away the Seven Invincible Sect. All their hopes were shattered with that single kick and had vanished into nothingness.
In particular, Chen Chang could recognize the uniforms that Square-faced Fatso and his men were wearing. These people in black trench coats were wearing the signature dress code of the Agency of Special Affairs, which managed Cultivators like themselves.
When he saw the Agency of Special Affairs in action, he knew at once. As he feared, Chen Jiashang—an overseas member of the Chen family—was the target of the Agency of Special Affairs. Perhaps it was not the case for Cultivators from overseas, but for people like them, who were rooted in the mainland, every single one of them feared the Agency of Special Affairs.
At the thought of the possibility that the Agency of Special Affairs was watching the Chen family, Chen Chang immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
This had clearly gone beyond the level of the grievances between them and the Seven Invincible Sect.
Although the Chen family prided itself on being the local overlord of the Min Nan region, when faced with a behemoth like the Agency of Special Affairs, they were small fry.
Then, he quickly changed tacks, pinning his gaze firmly on Lu Xuan. This was the man who had destroyed their hopes of bringing the Chen family to greater heights by crippling Chen Jiashang with a single kick.
Of course, since he became aware that he was a martial arts legend, he already discarded all thoughts of getting revenge. It was no laughing matter, as a martial arts legend was capable of single-handedly killing the entire Chen family.
Even without considering Lu Xuan, Chen Jiashang alone would be capable of such an act.
The huge gap in their abilities was enough for him to forfeit all thoughts of vengeance.
His objective now was to remember what Lu Xuan looked like and then warn the rest of the Chen family to avoid provoking this jinx at all costs. Otherwise, the whole Chen family might unwittingly meet their end.
“Find me a quiet location, and I’ll give them treatment!” Lu Xuan said, walking over next to Lin Sheng and Hao Danfeng.
The disciples of the Seven Invincible Sect finally came to their senses, as they hurriedly lifted the two of them down. At the same time, the members of the Chen family also slinked away, carrying Chen Chang.
It was supposed to be a competition to break fresh ground, but at this moment, it was hastily coming to an end.
Even so, nobody felt like they had any regrets. Tonight, they were able to see two mythical martial arts legends exchanging blows, and it was a scene none of them might ever see again in their lives.
It was well worth the effort to come watch.
As Lu Xuan leaped out of the ring, Guo Yuanyuan and Lu Yuling came up to try to make conversation, but Lu Xian did not even spare either of them a glance, and coldly brushed past the two of them.
The two of them gaped, and Guo Yuanyuan finally overcame the pressure, stepping forward to speak. “Big brother Lu…”
“Sorry, I don’t know you!” Without missing a beat, Lu Xuan immediately turned around to leave.
Shame and anger showed on Guo Yuanyuan’s face, as she truly understood what the saying “ignore me today and you will regret it tomorrow” meant.
Standing behind her, Lu Yuling was similarly ashamed and vexed, but in her heart, she was well aware of the way they had treated Lu Xuan today. Looking at the strength that Lu Xuan had displayed, by him giving them the cold shoulder and cutting ties with them, he was already showing a lot of restraint.
In a small secluded hut, Lu Xuan finished giving Lin Sheng and Hao Danfeng medical treatment. Though they had been seriously injured by Chen Jiashang, their injuries were nothing that Lu Xuan’s treatment could not heal.
With Lu Xuan’s abilities, he could easily stimulate their life force and complete the treatment.
“You should be fully recovered within the next ten days. Don’t worry. There won’t be any complications!” Lu Xuan advised.
“Thank you so much, Mr. Lu. This time I really can’t thank you enough. If not for Mister Lu’s help, I fear our Seven Invincible Sect might have been toppled for good!” Hao Danfeng hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
At this moment, he understood at last why the master’s nephew was so fond of Lu Xuan. The man’s leg was worth its weight in gold.
If he were not still holding on to a shred of reason, he would have wanted to kneel down and call Lu Xuan “daddy.” Even though it was not dignified, the man was a martial arts legend.
It was not shameful at all for anyone to lower their head before a martial arts legend.
This was especially true for the youthful Lu Xuan, who was still in his early twenties. If he continued his growth, he would grow into a fearsome existence that one would not even dare to imagine.
In comparison, he knew in his heart that at this point, the Seven Invincible Sect had already reached the limits of their strength, and they could not go any further.
Yet the man in front of him still had unlimited potential.
“Not a problem, I barely needed to lift a finger!” Lu Xuan casually waved him off.
The members of the Seven Invincible Sect looked at each other in amazement. For them, it was an unprecedented disaster, but for certain other people, it was like lifting a finger.
In this instant, the gap in their strength was vividly reflected.
In the world of Cultivators, strength alone was the key to everything. Without having sufficient strength, everything else was not worth considering.
“Regardless, Mr. Lu has not only saved me this time, but you have also rescued our Seven Invincible Sect,” Lin Sheng got up and said with an earnest expression. “From this day onwards, if Mr. Lu has anything to request of me, I, Lin Sheng, will overcome any obstacle and brave any difficulties to do whatever you ask, no matter the circumstances!”
