Chapter 113: A Complete Waste of a Long Life
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
This heartache soon turned into a burning fury, as he saw the h.e.l.lish field of slaughter before him, with corpses strewn all over the ground. The seeds of potential that the Soul-s.n.a.t.c.her Sect had spent these long years raising were now buried in an instant.
Along with the forces who had died last night in the eastern campaign in Min Province, this meant that from this day onwards, he was all alone with no family.
The son that he had placed heavy hopes on had also perished in Min Province.
When he first knew about it, his insides had burned with rage.
All of this had happened because of the young man in front of him.
He clenched both fists tightly, as he locked his eyes on this young man, yelling, “State your name! I’ll send your entire clan to the grave with you!”
Just killing Lu Xuan was not enough. Qiu Zhen wanted to tear Lu Xuan into ten thousand pieces and kill his entire family line.
The others watching also p.r.i.c.ked up their ears at this. A fearsome master was making his appearance in the Agency of Special Affairs, and everyone wanted to know who Lu Xuan actually was.
Before this, they had never heard of him before. Logically speaking, such a strong individual should have never gone unheard of, but they struggled to connect him to any of the powerful masters from the previous generations.
“For someone who is about to die, you’re spouting a lot of nonsense!” Lu Xuan replied stonily.
He could see that hidden within Qiu Zhen’s body, an uncontrollable energy was bubbling up. Evidently, when he had been close to making a breakthrough, when he should have gone with the flow, he instead forced a breakthrough.
Obviously, it was after he saw Lu Xuan on his killing spree that he finally could not hold himself back, pus.h.i.+ng through forcefully into the Divine level. Only a forced breakthrough would cause such a phenomenon.
The aftereffects of doing such a thing were clear. He would probably do ma.s.sive damage to his own body, and it would be more difficult for him to progress further into the next level.
If it was a serious case, he might even lose his mind!
=It was apparent that Qiu Zhen still could not fully control his strength, and even though he had just made his breakthrough, Lu Xuan was evidently much, much stronger than he was.
Still, following the normal course of events, without Lu Xuan’s intervention, Qiu Zhen was indeed a formidable character. In another life, he had successfully taken over the Xinan area with his Soul-s.n.a.t.c.her Sect, until he finally provoked the wrong person, drawing Lu Xuan’s attention, and getting uprooted by him.
While in this life, such a turning point did not occur, there was another turning point, and he eventually still ended up provoking Lu Xuan.
“This time, I won’t give you another chance to do evil!”
Qiu Zhen locked a hard stare on Lu Xuan, shouting, “Good, good, good, I’ve yet to meet someone so egotistical!”
Faster than can be recounted, Qiu Zhen swung out a hand to grab at Lu Xuan. In a flash, the hand had formed into a claw, and countless Gu insects crawled onto it, bursting into flame.
In the blink of an eye, with a fearsome amount of Vigor, he swung his claw at Lu Xuan.
The horrific heat was enough to immolate a regular person.
“Fire Spirit Claw!”
Many of the martial arts and spells practiced by the Soul-s.n.a.t.c.her Sect were related to Gu insects. Relying on various types of Gu insects, they were able to bring out different kinds of attributes and powers, all of which were extremely fearsome.
Even so, Lu Xuan did not seem disturbed at all. Compared to when he fought Qiu Zhen in his past life, Qiu Zhen, at this point in time, was far too weak.
Back then, Qiu Zhen’s strength was unstoppable, and with a single claw, he could demolish a mountain.
This time, however, Qiu Zhen had not been able to reach that level of cultivation.
Lu Xuan let out a cold snort, sweeping out with a sleeve. Instantly, a wind of Vigor swept across, putting out the burning fire, colliding violently with Qiu Zhen’s claw attack.
Thump, thump, thump!
Qiu Zhen staggered backward several steps, his eyes filled with shock. His own attack at his full power was actually rebuffed by someone else.
He was filled with hatred towards Lu Xuan, so he naturally made no scouting blows, and was striking to kill at full strength. Even so, it was completely useless, as he had been blown away so easily.
The move Lu Xuan used was called Flowing Cloud Sleeve and was a very special move in martial arts. Normally, its use required the support of large billowing clothes sleeves, but at Lu Xuan’s level of expertise, he could do it sleeveless.
He had even been capable of an even more impressive divine move, known as Heaven and Earth Sleeve.
Of course, at Lu Xuan’s present level and cultivation, he still could not use that skill.
“You’re actually… a Divine level!” At that moment, Qiu Zhen looked at Lu Xuan in shock.
From this exchange, he finally came to realize that Lu Xuan was not a National Guardian level as he expected, and his strength was on a whole other level.
He was actually at the same Divine level as himself.
This was an accomplishment he had worked hard his entire life for, and he had even shut himself away for over a year to try and breakthrough to the Divine level.
When he finally made it, he discovered that someone so young had actually done so as well. At this moment, he even began to feel like he had wasted his entire life.
On top of the extreme hatred, he actually now felt a feeling of envy.
Lu Xuan was at most 20 years old, while he was already in his fifties. Lu Xuan’s life was like the rising morning sun, while he was already one step into the dusk of his life.
The comparison was truly infuriating!
The other heroes from Xinan also heard what Qiu Zhen had said, though they had made this a.s.sumption long ago, and Qiu Zhen’s words had only confirmed what they believed.
“A Divine level at less than 20 years old…” Qing Yunzi from Qingyang View and several other National Guardian level masters felt their mouths dry up.
This feeling was not much different from what Qiu Zhen felt. It was a feeling like even though he had made his name in the world, he had still wasted his long life.
If they had not personally seen this with their own eyes, how could they believe that such a monstrous person actually existed?
Lu Xuan broke into the Divine level at twenty years of age, while they were only National Guardian levels in their fifties and sixties. It was a depressing realization.
They really wanted to put a curse on him!
Among them, the most stunned person was still Yun Feiying. He never expected such a fearsome individual to come out from the Min Province. More importantly, he would never have thought that such an individual would be recruited into the Agency of Special Affairs.
As for Lu Xuan, he only continued to look at Qiu Zhen with an icy gaze, as though he was looking at withered bones in a grave.
Although Qiu Zhen was famous in the Xinan region, and even had some renown in the Southeast Asian world of Cultivators, to Lu Xuan, he was just killing someone he had already killed once before.
“Even if you are a Divine level, I’ll have you dead today!”
With a loud roar, Qiu Zhen’s palm came flying through the air. Under the influence of his Spiritual Qi emanating from his body, the countless air particles around him condensed into blades of wind, which then surged out in a flood towards Lu Xuan.
Each blade of wind was like a throwing knife, and the dozens of wind blades were numerous enough to cut off any and all paths of escape Lu Xuan might have used.
Still, Lu Xuan once again let out a simple cold snort, using the Flowing Cloud Sleeve move again, sweeping the wind blades that covered the sky out of the air.
These blades of wind did not even pose the tiniest threat to Lu Xuan.
