Chapter 267 - This is what the Number One in the World is capable of
It felt very surreal, as if Lu Xuan was locking her down at soul level, making any of her attempts to resist to be completely futile.
There was never any true shackle placed on her, yet she felt as if she was shackled all the same.
That was what made it so terrifying.
She was able to sense that finger attack clearly about to strike, yet she had no way of evading it at all.
Cold sweat burst all over her, making her look like she just got fished out of the water.
A bitter smirk was seen on her face. While she knew that there was probably quite a gap between her and Lu Xuan, she utterly never expected said gap to be such a chasm.
She was almost utterly helpless before him. It could even be said he could have killed her without breaking a sweat, if he so fancied.
Her cultivation level at Celestial Realm, which she was so confident in, was practically as useful as cardboard when standing off against him.
“Who are you people? How dare you come looking for trouble at the Guimen Sect?”
A voice was heard berating the two of them at that moment from the top of the mountain. It was apparent that even the higher ranked fighters found Lu Xuan as well.
The Guimen Sect had been lording over the western regions for many years, and none had dared to crash their gates like Lu Xuan did.
“You think you people of the Guimen Sect to be big shots eh? Just tell your Young Master Gui to come face me.”
Lu Xuan continued plainly.
“How insolent indeed.”
A figure was seen emerging from the dark of night, who brought about a flash of the blade right at Lu Xuan.
However, a shriek was heard at the very next second and that figure was seen crashing to the ground.
One could tell from the flickers of lamps around that the attacking figure was a young man who seemed to be in his early thirties, who was surprising penetrated by a pebble.
The penetrative power of that pebble was found to be far above even that of bullets.
That man breathed his last shortly after, as it was his heart that got penetrated.
The people of the Guimen Sect finally realized by then, that the one who showed up at their door did not come with good intentions.
It was apparent that the two men before them were there with an expressed purpose of doing them harm.
“Activate the protective formation and trap that guy!”
An unknown voice was heard shouting, and the barrier throughout the entire mountain was activated shortly after.
A formation was being brought up slowly.
Lu Xuan and Ling Huang saw demonic spirits filling up the space before them all of a sudden at the moment. Those spirits were of all manner of shapes and sizes, and their numbers seemed endless as they swarmed the two of them.
“Ghosts!”
Ling Huang whelped frantically right away. He had no idea if those things really existed or not.
Lu Xuan extended his hand right away and pointed. The power of thunder blasted from his fingertip, shredding the black mists and tearing all those eerie spirits apart. None of them were able to do him any harm.
“Come on, let’s get up the mountain.”
Lu Xuan walked up to the mountain with Ling Huang in tow.
That barrier and formation were utterly useless in stopping Lu Xuan, who had his Delusion-breaker Eyes fully at work.
