Gongsun Wuji’s skill was way more powerful than those of any of his peers. This was also known as the strongest magic in the same class.
Nobody expected Lu Xuan, who was also in the Two Flower Realm, to take his opponent down in one single move and even shatter the latter’s Azure Real Body.
“What the…?” Everyone watched the fight with their mouths left agape. They couldn’t believe what they’d just witnessed.
Gongsun Wuji was covered in blood after his Azure Real Body completely disappeared.
“With his Azure body, Gongsun Wuji can stand on even ground with cultivators in the Three Flower Realm! How did Lu Xuan manage to get past that?”
It was supposed to be an impossible feat. They were completely in awe that Gongsun Wuji could not even defend himself from Lu Xuan’s attack.
All the lone cultivator could do was slowly back away as Lu Xuan continued to throw his punches again and again, to the point where the former thought his body might just break into pieces.
As Gongsun Wuji continued backing away, he averted his eyes from Lu Xuan’s. Only then did he realize what kind of monster he had tried to trick.
If he could go back in time, he wouldn’t even think of trying anything like that again.
Seeing that he had no other choice but to run, Gongsun Wuji immediately used Ground Magic so that he could escape by digging an escape tunnel. He knew that he could never win against the monster he was facing.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Lu Xuan suddenly took a huge step forward and caught up with Gongsun Wuji. Gongsun Wuji wasn’t slow, but Lu Xuan was far faster than him.
Bang!
The whole place shook as Lu Xuan landed a punch on Gongsun Wuji, sending the latter flying into a wall before being brought down.
That punch broke at least a dozen of Gongsun Wuji’s clones as his blood splattered all over the place. Nobody could tell whether he was alive or dead.
The fight resulted in Lu Xuan’s overwhelming victory. Gongsun Wuji could not even do anything against the victor’s attacks during the whole fight.
Those who were watching on the sidelines began to regret their decision to assist Gongsun Wuji without knowing their opponent’s true strength first.
Before they could even do anything, a huge rope rounded them up together. It was Lu Xuan’s magic, the Dragon-snaring Lasso.
The lasso had completely restricted their movements. Even if they could fight back, they couldn’t do anything knowing that it would’ve led to their deaths.
Lu Xuan wrapped everyone on the island with a single pull, including Gongsun Wuji, with the lasso. After making sure that everyone was caught, he dragged all of them back to the deck of the aircraft career.
He wasn’t even in a hurry to return home; he could’ve done so in the blink of an eye., Instead, he followed the whole fleet back.
After a whole day out on the sea, the captain of the fleet couldn’t hold back his curiosity any longer and asked Lu Xuan why he decided to return with the fleet.
Knowing why the captain was curious, Lu Xuan immediately gave a satisfying answer. “I’m waiting for someone.”
“Who are you waiting for?”
“I’m waiting to see how many people will actually come to save Gongsun Wuji.”
Lu Xuan only had one reason to follow the fleet; he was trying to lure out those who had sided with Gongsun Wuji.
Xiaoyao Hou was acquainted with people from various backgrounds in the Tempest Ocean Realm, spending the last hundred years expanding and maintaining these connections. Lu Xuan was sure that some of these people would try and save Gongsun Wuji.
When that happened, he could use that as a reason to take these people out.
Just as everyone had expected, the only thing Lu Xuan lacked at the moment was a valid reason to wipe out those that were siding with Xiaoyao Hou.
If Lu Xuan had already reached the Consolidation Realm, then he would’ve never needed a reason to do so; one could do anything they wanted as long as they were powerful enough.
Since he wasn’t at that stage yet, he had to be aware of the consequences that his actions might bring.
As Lu Xuan waited patiently on the aircraft carrier, people were discussing the situation on the internet back on Earth.
“Did God Lu catch the mastermind? If so, then he truly is something else!”
“Give the mastermind the worst punishment possible! He has to atone for the deaths of millions of people!”
“Kill him!”
Everyone was now consumed by anger, wanting nothing more than to see Gongsun Wuji atone for his actions.
The war had the highest death count in recent years. Naturally, all humans on Earth would direct their anger at the mastermind behind it all.
On the other hand, the cultivators and monster kings at the Tempest Ocean Realm had a different reaction.
They still could not believe that Gongsun Wuji was apprehended.
They did predict something like this would happen ever since Lu Xuan sealed every entrance to Earth off, but they were still in awe when it actually happened.
It was easy to see why they were so shocked. Gongsun Wuji’s master, Xiaoyao Hou, was one of the best among the cultivators of the Tempest Ocean Realm. With his vast connections, nobody would’ve dared to oppose him; not even the Xuanhuo Sect would be wary to fight Xiaoyao Hou. The only exception was the Holy Nun Gate led by Lin Ziyi.
As for Gongsun Wuji, he was considered the best of his age.
It was quite humiliating for the best talent of Tempest Ocean Realm to be gravely injured by Lu Xuan to the point where no one could tell whether he was alive or not. To make matters worse, Lu Xuan even tied Gongsun Wuji up and left him on the deck for everyone to see.
“Are we going to let him humiliate us like that? How could Earth’s Child of Destiny treat one of us as an animal?! I, for one, refuse to put up with this!”
“Does Lu Xuan think he’s powerful enough to protect Earth forever?”
“Don’t worry. Earth will be destroyed once Xiaoyao Hou completed his training. He’ll eliminate all of those lowly humans on Earth!”
The cultivators and monster kings of the Tempest Ocean Realm were fully enraged by Lu Xuan clearly looking down on them.
Ever since Lu Xuan stepped onto the deck of the aircraft carrier, he’d been humiliating everyone in the Tempest Ocean Realm by stepping on their pride. It was as if he was showing to everyone else that even the best of Tempest Ocean Realm was nothing to be afraid of, that people on Earth could still easily defeat them.
“Wait, we still have one trick up our sleeves: the Gin King! I’ve received news that the king is about to break into the Consolidation Realm! He’ll be the first among us to achieve it! I think Xiaoyao Hou had once saved Gin King when he was being targeted. I’m sure that he’ll help as soon as he learns of what happened to his savior’s disciple! When that happens, death will fall upon Lu Xuan!”
The mention of Gin King immediately sparked a reaction among the cultivators and monster kings of the Tempest Ocean Realm.
One of Xiaoyao Hou’s connections that he’d strengthened over the past hundred years was with Gin King.
Their story was known throughout the land.
The real identity of Gin King was a Ten Thousand Years King of Ginseng, which was why he had been targeted many times. The reason Gin King was still alive was that Xiaoyao Hou had been assisting him whenever his life was on the line.
Since the two were known to be best friends, everyone believed that Gin King would go after Lu Xuan after he completed his training.
