Lu Xuan had practically torn down their psychological defense without them being able to do anything about it at all.
They were so frightened that they were about to wet their pants.
None of them dared to fight Lu Xuan any longer. They saw themselves not fighting a human, but a devil of an untold level of powers.
A flash of the sword dropped from above when all was said and done, killing that guy right there and then.
Lu Xuan stood where he was coldly afterward. His expression hardly changed. It was clear that not even the death of an opponent at Invincible Vajra Level proved enough to budge him.
Lu Xuan had seen too much of such scenarios back in his past life. He pulverized untold numbers of powerful enemies who thought themselves truly invincible and threw their weight around, without even breaking a sweat, so much so that any who fought him was completely shattered, psychologically speaking.
“Next.”
Lu Xuan uttered the word without any emotional fluctuations, which, when coupled with his deadpan look, made him look like a cold, unfeeling devil to many of the Invincible Vajras around.
The tables were turned in an instant. None dared to even get near him, and they simply fled in all directions.
Even someone as fearsome as Adam was of no exception. While the situation being clear that he was unable to take on Lu Xuan at all, the only thing left for him to do was simply to flee. He would not have even had the opportunity to do so if he were to linger around for even mere moments longer.
Sh*t! How could there be such a monster in this world!? Adam thought to himself frantically, yet his movements remained as crisp and decisive as he was able to make them, turning himself practically into a black shooting star and running off far away.
However, he was utterly astonished to find that Lu Xuan appeared right before him before he noticed anything.
It was apparent that Lu Xuan was unable to kill that many Invincible Vajras at once, which meant that he had to pick his target.
Adam was obviously the one Lu Xuan picked.
Adam noticed what that meant right there and then, howling furiously as he moved.
“Damn you! You insolent Huaxian!”
“Insolent?” Lu Xuan burst into laughter immediately. Adam would not have thought so in the beginning, as he was busy picking on Huaxian cultivators—an act emboldened by the fact that he was overwhelmingly powerful. There was no telling just how many Huaxian cultivators died by his hands in the span of mere days.
He killed anybody he had been able to find with extreme prejudice, and he never thought himself to be insolent for even one moment.
“So what if I am?” Lu Xuan asked as he continued laughing.
“You can’t kill him, for I have the Association of Lore Seekers and the United States as a whole backing me up. You can’t possibly afford to get on the bad side of something this big.” Adam blabbered away, and a tinge of fear was found in his voice as he made his statement.
There was no way for Adam to remain fearless after all, given how Lu Xuan made killing an Invincible Vajra as easy as stomping down on an ant just mere moments ago. He saw his opponents as little more than small fries.
In Lu Xuan’s eyes, Adam was probably little more than just a bigger ant.
That was what terrified Adam the most. He simply had no other choice at the moment.
“You Americans? You are nothing. The Association of Lore Seekers? You are nothing. If the people of the association want revenge, by all means, come take it then. I’m curious to see just how much of a ruckus a puny association like that could cause,” Lu Xuan snorted coldly as he replied.
Everyone else who witnessed the exchange had their jaws fall to the ground.
Everyone knew that the Association of Lore Seekers was one of the most powerful of cultivation forces found in the world, which practically owned the entire North American continent. No one dared to belittle the association before.
The United States was even considered the only nation capable of being compared to and resist Huaxia at the moment. They were practically the only two superpowers in the world.
No one knew just how powerful those two nations actually were, but they were sure that those two were extremely terrifying.
The way Lu Xuan talked about the association and the United States, however, made it seem like they were congregations of puny beings hardly worth his time, and that they were beneath him.
No one could have behaved in a more magnanimous manner than Lu Xuan did, and consequently, no one could have made a bigger deal out of themselves.
None of the witnesses knew what to think about what Lu Xuan just said. However, those at Deity levels bolted as soon as the opportunity presented itself without a doubt. None of them dared to even fight Lu Xuan anymore.
If Lu Xuan were to keep making a move at them, it would have only been a matter of time before he wiped every single one of them out.
The tactic of overwhelming and grinding down on Lu Xuan with sheer numbers might seem feasible to many.
In truth, however, that would have never worked.
It was simply impossible for people from different countries and different cultivation forces, who all had scores to settle among themselves, to band together for pulling off something like that.
The area surrounding the lake became a lot quieter in mere moments after the foreign, fearsome cultivators scattered like beasts in a storm.
“Lu Xuan is so awesome!” that pretty young woman with a voluptuous figure exclaimed while standing at a hill somewhere far away.
It was Lu Xuan who brought his powers to bear on everyone, yet she was more excited about his performance than he himself, especially so when Lu Xuan was doing all he did with a deadpan face.
“Well, you can relax now then. Let’s go. That Lu Xuan is practically a monster incarnate, after all.” That shriveled old man pulled the young woman away and added, “If he were to go on a killing spree, there would be no one capable of stopping him. I wouldn’t want to stand around; he might kill us!”
A terrifying possibility came to the old man’s mind at the moment.
“No way! Lu Xuan would do such a thing!”
That young woman shook her head and asserted that Lu Xuan was more than just an unfeeling monster.
Lu Xuan made his move right there and then. He pointed a finger, and a howling thunder dragon burst out of his hand.
That was a statement saying that he had completely mastered the technique inside-out, making it possible for him to bring even the will of the technique to bear, even if he were to just attack without thinking.
Adam backed away right away at that moment, behaving as if he had just seen a ghost. Pitch-black aura burst from every single pore from his being. The cloudy aura made it as if he was spewing ink all over, making him into a pitch-black being in mere moments.
The might of his aura climbed furiously at the same time.
A pair of webbed wings sprung out of his back at the very next moment.
Shoop!
His speed spiked in an instant, dodging that attack from Lu Xuan in the nick of time.
The attack detonated in the air as it missed its intended target.
The attack might as well have bombed the air around it, making it clear just how terrifyingly powerful that attack that sprung from Lu Xuan’s finger was.
It was a terror beyond words.
“This is interesting.”
Lu Xuan wore a faint smile. However, Adam came right behind Lu Xuan at the very next instant, flashing a sinister snicker as he did so.
“Damned Huaxian, I’m gonna send you to hell right this instance. You will die on this very day!” Adam roared in a frenzy. He had never suffered such a humiliating defeat in his life, and he was compelled to make Lu Xuan pay for that.
Adam’s scepter fell upon Lu Xuan’s head. If the attack were to connect, it would be entirely possible for Lu Xuan’s head to crack open, rendering him dead immediately.
However, something unfathomable happened in the very critical instant. The back of Lu Xuan’s head seemed to have developed a portal of its own, where a finger emerged and took the attack from the scepter head-on.
