This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome
chapter-114

Chapter 114: Qiu Zhen Dead, the Soul-snatcher Sect Eliminated!

It was just a simple move, but he could make a living off his mastery of it!

Even so, Qiu Zhen did not have the slightest bit of hesitation and quickly pounced forward to attack.

The way the National Guardian level masters marveled at this fight could clearly be seen in their expressions.

The Divine level was clearly far stronger than the National Guardian level.

They, too, were able to release these types of wind blades, but they could not produce dozens in a single breath, and doing so would empty more than half of their bodies’ Spiritual Qi.

The way Qiu Zhen had immediately followed up with a close combat attack would be even more unthinkable for them.

Countless Gu insects filled the air and began to emit hot flames, sparkling like stars in the night sky. In an instant, the blaze had turned into an inferno.

At this time, Qiu Zhen blew out, producing a strong gale.

The wind fed the fire, and the fire grew stronger with the wind!

In a flash, the burning inferno had transformed into a curtain of fire, blotting out the sky, as it rolled towards Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan let out a cold snort and simply pushed out his palm. The Vigor from his palm swept out, transforming into a strong gale that blew forth, colliding into the humongous blaze. In an instant, the flames that had covered the sky had vanished without a trace.

In the same moment that the flames were extinguished, Lu Xuan had already advanced in front of Qiu Zhen to attack. He used his Flowing Cloud Sleeve move, and his fearsome Spiritual Qi enveloped the air, turning it into a giant wave of energy that crashed straight into Qiu Zhen’s body.

Qiu Zhen immediately went pale from shock, and howled out in a rage, dishing out a series of powerful attacks to try and destroy the powerful energy coming towards him.

However, he stood no chance against it, and the unbelievably large wave of energy smashed directly into him.

Bang!

Qiu Zhen was sent hurtling backward, his body flipping a full circle through the air before he finally hit the ground.

Splurt!

Qiu Zhen sprayed out a mouthful of fresh blood, as a huge bloodstain formed on his chest. The situation was that the impact he received from the Flowing Cloud Sleeve had shaken up his internal organs, and he barely avoided having his internal organs burst from the damage.

The attack he had just received was a great setback for him. He even felt like his foundations, which were already unstable from the beginning, were violently quaking. If this happened a few more times, without Lu Xuan doing anything, he would quickly fall back into the National Guardian level.

This was what he had feared the most. His forceful breakthrough into the Divine level was now, at last, showing its side-effects.

He had been able to suppress it by force at first, but now that he had taken Lu Xuan’s blow, the side-effects were all flooding out.

“He’s at a disadvantage now, and he’s no match at all for Lu Xuan!”

Qing Yunzi could not tear his eyes away from the battle happening in the distance.

Compared to Lu Xuan, whom he barely knew, he was more familiar with Qiu Zhen.

Qiu Zhen had originally been one of the top tier Cultivators in the Xinan region. In his fights with Qiu Zhen, he had the impression that Qiu Zhen was an individual with unparalleled strength.

He might even go so far as to say he was unstoppable, considering everyone beneath his notice. In Xinan, he was almost unrivaled, and the only time he had tasted defeat was when the Big Boss from the Agency of Special Affairs had come on patrol to Xinan one year ago.

At that time, after being easily defeated, Qiu Zhen forced himself to take an oath, sealing himself in the mountains.

Back then, the Big Boss was a Divine level master, while Qiu Zhen was only a National Guardian level master, so his loss was to be expected.

However, Qiu Zhen was now a Divine level master himself, so logically he should be at the same level of strength as that Big Boss.

Yet, at this very moment, Qiu Zhen was being trounced by another Divine level master.

Even amongst the Divine level masters, who were unrivaled powers in the world, there were differing levels of strength.

Without a doubt, Qiu Zhen had really picked a fight with the wrong person this time.

He just never expected that the world of Cultivators in the Min Province, which had never had cause to draw their attention, could actually produce such a fearsome entity.

And even more chilling was the fact that this man belonged to the Agency of Special Affairs.

Instantly, he seemed to understand why the news from last night would spread like wildfire throughout the Xinan region in a single night.

Prestige!

He was establishing his prestige!

It was an undisguised warning to the heroes of the Xinan world of Cultivators that even though the Big Boss was preoccupied elsewhere for the moment, it did not mean that the Agency of Special Affairs would not be able to control them.

Xinan was not a lawless wilderness outside the reach of authority!

It was still under the Agency of Special Affair’s control!

The underlying meaning of this news was obvious!

It was not only Qing Yunzi who realized this, as the others also understood why the Agency of Special Affairs would make such a move.

They understood, but there was nothing they could do about it because the threat of a Divine level master was far too great.

Lu Xuan was even capable of emulating the Big Boss’ style, rampaging through the Xinan region’s world of Cultivators.

If Lu Xuan really did so, they would not be surprised at all. Lu Xuan did have the strength to do so, and in the world of Cultivators, an individual’s strength determined who would be on top, and numbers did not really matter.

If Lu Xuan wanted to, he could single-handedly beat down everyone present right now.

In front of such power, numbers were meaningless.

“Get over here!”

With a cold laugh, Lu Xuan reached out a hand to grasp at thin air. In that instant, Qiu Zhen could suddenly feel a terrible suction pulling him over. Unable to resist the force, his body was dragged towards Lu Xuan.

As the various masters saw this, they all sucked in a breath of cold air.

“What frightening strength. How did he cultivate it, or perhaps, did he eat some kind of cultivation treasure?”

The crippled monk was almost scared to death. This was a common martial arts skill that every sect knew, the Dragon Catching Skill. There was nothing tricky about this skill, and it purely came down to a contest of power.

With Lu Xuan’s Divine level of strength, pulling in a National Guardian level or martial arts legend would be a piece of cake.

However, if he was able to pull a master at the same level as if he was pulling a child, it was a clear sign that Lu Xuan’s own power had an unbelievable level of depth.

The Spiritual Qi on Qiu Zhen’s body trembled continuously, as he tried to resist the invisible force that was pressuring him.

Still, he basically had no way to resist the force, and in a few moments, he was dragged in front of Lu Xuan.

“Fire Spirit Claw!”

With a roar, Qiu Zhen simply struck out with a huge flaming claw in an attempt to break apart Lu Xuan’s Spiritual Qi.

However, Lu Xuan once again used his Flowing Cloud Sleeve move, dispersing the flames in the air, and smashing into Qiu Zhen’s hand.

“Aaah!” Qiu Zhen let out a scream of agony, as the hand he used in his claw attack was actually shattered. Just as he was about to be blown backward by the force of the attack, Lu Xuan pulled him in again with his Spiritual Qi.

Before he even had time to react, he saw a long sword in Lu Xuan’s hand as he swept it out in a horizontal slash. A blood-red flash of metal streaked across Qiu Zhen’s neck, breaking straight through his Shield of Vigor, and sending his head flying clean off his body.

Qiu Zhen was wide-eyed as he met his demise. He never expected to lose so thoroughly against someone who was at the same Divine level as himself. Even if he had forcefully broken through, the gap in their strength should not be so great that he could not even withstand one strike.

On the other hand, Lu Xuan’s expression did not change. This was all within his expectations. Qiu Zhen was indeed strong, and if his opponent was another Divine level master, he might have had a fighting chance.

However, he was facing Lu Xuan, and even among the Divine level masters, Lu Xuan was unparalleled in all fronts.

“From this day onwards, the Soul-snatcher Sect is eliminated!”
