This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

Chapter 78: Crippling Two Formidable Ones

What happened right there happened out of the blue, which caught everyone’s attention in an instant.

Lu Xuan extended his hand to retaliate before the spectators realized what was going on.

Boom! That fearsome man was brought down by that one strike launched by Lu Xuan. It was a strike that looked flighty and devoid of strength.

That fearsome man was sent flying right there and then, crashing hard onto the ground. He remained still, dying on the spot.

Both Master Ying and Yin Tianming finally confirmed that the weird feeling they had about him had not been a result of them seeing things.

Lu Xuan, as they had expected, was indeed an extraordinary being, capable of slapping a HuaJin level combatant dead with just one slap.

Such a fighting prowess was no joke indeed.

“Let’s move!” Yin Tianming was the first to react. He took one step out and burst with frightening aura right there and then.

That female officer felt every single hair on her body stand up. She was terribly frightened. It was as if she had been targeted by a ferocious beast.

That was because this was the first time she learned of the existence of such terrifying beings. Her master paled in comparison to what Yin Tianming, who was right before her eyes, was capable of.

His aura alone had been able to render her unmovable, and what she saw at the moment was at least ten times more frightening than moments earlier.

It was apparent that Yin Tianming did not bother showing off all the way with what he pulled with her earlier.

That man had only revealed his true strength right there and then.

However, that all-encompassing pressure that she felt assaulting her from all directions disappeared without a trace within a second. That intimidating aura dissipated the very moment Lu Xuan took a single step out.

Boom!

Yin Tianming threw two punches in a split second. It felt like cannonballs were being fired, causing a sonic boom in the air.

Those two punches were the culmination of the pinnacle of his fighting prowess.

Those punches were also where his title “the Iron-armed Arhat” truly came from.

“About time.”

Lu Xuan laughed out loud and threw a punch as well.

Yin Tianming’s arms were thick and meaty; they were about the size of Lu Xuan’s thighs.

One punch would have easily punched through steel plates.

When his punches met with Lu Xuan’s, huge ringing explosions were heard as the Spiritual Qi clashed. Yin Tianming then grunted as he was thrown reeling backward.

Master Ying was about to step out before he saw the muscles of Yin Tianming’s arms torn all over the place, blood gushing out everywhere. His arms hung limply by his side; it was a result of Lu Xuan’s punch shattering the bones of his arms.

That one simple strike rendered Yin Tianming’s arms totally useless, which robbed him over 80 percent of his fighting prowess on the spot.

The Iron-armed Arhat relied more on his arms than anything else, and even his garb revolved around his title, after all.

Lu Xuan looked scrawny and unassuming. No one expected such a plain-looking man to be so terrifying.

But then again, it was not the time to mull over the details. Lu Xuan pounced on them soon after he retaliated. He did not hesitate when it was time to move in for the kill. He acted nonchalantly mere moments before, yet he turned into a killing machine without hesitation or remorse at the very next moment.

The might emanating from his punch became a very directed force, heading straight for Master Ying’s head.

Master Ying was unable to think much about it. He extended his hand to grab the incoming punch right away.

Boom!

His hand tore that force apart head-on. That claw attack had been the trademark that he was known for. The “Ying” in his name stood for “eagle,” after all.

He was known as such because of his proficiency in the Eagle’s Claw. The moniker he took as his name was so renowned that no one knew of his true name.

Boom!

Lu Xuan’s punch was evidently faster. While the surrounding force from his punch had been dissipated, his punch arrived right before Master Ying.

What happened to Yin Tianming served as a glaring warning. Master Ying would not dare let his guard down. He took several steps behind, intending to evade the incoming attack.

However, things were not as simple as that. Lu Xuan’s aura had locked onto Master Ying, not giving him any chance of escaping.

The attack arrived right before Master Ying in mere moments, landing hard on his front.

Master Ying was practically backed into a corner by then. He had no other options but to shout and meet the attack head-on with his Eagle’s Claw.

The power of his Eagle’s Claw was utterly terrifying; it was like claws from a true eagle.

However, none of that mattered at all. A terrifying clash happened again, and Lu Xuan was able to tear Master Ying’s Eagle Claw outright. Master Ying grunted and backed away, intending to evade the intimidating attack yet again.

He finally realized right there and then why Yin Tianming had ended up so gravely injured from meeting a single attack head-on.

The man right before him was not even a human.

Lu Xuan’s lose, scrawny musculature suggested that he was anything but a warrior, yet his frightening fighting prowess belied his unassuming appearance.

What was beneath that scrawny frame was utterly terrifying.

Boom!

Master Ying continued to back away as one of his arms was rendered completely useless. He was unable to channel any power to the arm, and he was shaking all over by then.

The recoil from the attack had completely numbed his entire limb.

“The hell…” A tinge of fright and puzzlement was seen in his eyes. It was like he had just seen a ghost before him.

If it had not been for him meeting such a being in the flesh, there was no way he would have believed that humans could have been so overwhelmingly powerful.

“You are Lu Xuan!”

Yin Tianming, who was standing by the side, finally recalled who that young man was, where he met that young man before, and why he would have thought him to be so familiar.

He saw a picture of Lu Xuan before, and the memory sent shivers throughout his very being.

The reason why he was so frightened was simple—Chen Jiashang was rendered a cripple, and the former was apprehended by the Special Task Force because of that.

The Flying Dragon Sect looked into the case closely and found some images that the tourist took on that scene.

However, that picture with Lu Xuan in it was very blurry, and he had only been able to catch a glimpse of it.

That was why he thought Lu Xuan to only look familiar. He was oblivious to the fact that the man standing before them was the very archenemy that the sect had been looking into for a time.

The entire Flying Dragon Sect was undoubtedly furious over Chen Jiashang being rendered a cripple and his subsequent arrest.

That was a huge incident that had never happened before, after all.

Yin Tianming was just as shocked about the incident. He and Chen Jiashang had never really been on good terms, and both of them had even been rivals due to Chen Jiashang making a breakthrough into becoming a Martial Arts Legend.

However, none of that got in the way of Yin Tianming wanting to apprehend Lu Xuan.

He regretted the whole thing thoroughly right there and then, thinking that the sect had made a grave mistake in wanting to apprehend Lu Xuan.

He saw Lu Xuan not as a human but instead as a monster in human form.

His fighting prowess had been orders of magnitude above Chen Jiashang when the latter first made it into the rank of Martial Arts Legend, who had been one of the few top fighters in the sect. Yet, such a formidable fighter was unable to go toe-to-toe with Lu Xuan. Chen Jiashang was gravely injured, unable to withstand a single attack from Lu Xuan.

The experience would have been a nightmare for any other.

Yin Tianming finally realized that the Flying Dragon Sect had finally met their match.

“Not bad. You finally recognized who I am. That being said, you people of the Flying Dragon Sect really are bold people. You’re practically digging your own graves by daring to smuggle within our nation’s borders,” Lu Xuan said coldly.

However, he did not stop while he spoke, instead launching himself at the two men again right away. He did not flinch while facing a horde who was ganging up on him. He charged into the fray with a single step, going out for the kill yet again.
