Chapter 192 - Just Some Desperate Move from Someone about to meet his Doom
That blade came down, but the attack did not end up cutting Lu Xuan in half as everyone had expected.
Instead, everyone saw a golden dragon materialize around Lu Xuan. That blade landed on the golden dragon, yet it was unable to faze that conjured animal.
Lu Xuan looked like a golden dragon in human form at that moment, with both of his arms acting the claws of the dragon.
“What the hell?”
Luo Zihong was repelled by the formidable recoil, staring at what just happened with his jaw gaping open, unable to believe what just happened.
He was able to tell that Lu Xuan had probably defended using Shield of Vigor, but he had never seen Shields of Vigor capable of taking such forms.
He had only heard of the legendary Golden Bell technique, which, when perfected to the extreme, would allow the user to materialize a huge gold-colored bell around them, shrouding them within. That was what gave the move its name.
However, what Lu Xuan pulled was not the Golden Bell, a golden dragon form that was apparently of a far higher class than the Golden Bell.
Boooom!
Luo Zihong activated his secret art. All the silver hair on his head disappeared in an instant, having turned black again.
He looked a lot younger as well, and his life force became terrifyingly formidable. Many were even able to sense the strength of his life force from afar.
But then again, everyone knew that it was only a facade. That was probably the work of some kind of secret art, as there was no way for Luo Zihong to return to his prime right away.
At the same time, all of them knew that Luo Zihong was indeed cornered, due to him being forced to use one such secret art.
The more apparent the effects of secret arts like that, the greater the cost incurred.
Not only did Luo Zihong get a full head of jet black hair in an instant again, but his powers seemed to have grown twice what they were right away as well.
Secret arts like that were no joke, and the cost that came with their activation was probably staggering.
Even if he were to be able to stay alive that day, his days would have been numbered, nonetheless.
Luo Zihong probably never anticipated all of them having to pay such a high price just to surround and kill Lu Xuan.
He even had to pay with his life just to do so.
There was no doubt that Lu Xuan was powerful, given how he was able to corner Luo Zihong to such an extent.
Lu Xuan did not stop Luo Zihong right away. Despite having grown twice as powerful, Lu Xuan still thought the old man was beneath him.
“Just some desperate move from someone about to meet his doom.”
Lu Xuan smirked.
“You shall die here today, Lu Xuan!”
Luo Zihong held onto his blade. His black hair billowed in the wind at that moment, giving him the illusion that he was back in his prime again.
Shoop!
He brought the blade in his hands down. A sword aura that was several meters long was unleashed, in a bid to kill Lu Xuan right away.
The feeling of being so powerful was just great. It was initially and utterly impossible for him to conjure a sword aura of such a level with ease before.
However, every single attack he was able to bring about at the moment would be just as powerful.
He thought it a pity that his youth was just an illusion, as he deemed such strength would have made him invincible if it were something permanent.
“Golden Dragon Claws!”
Lu Xuan launched a single, simple punch in the form of a golden dragon claw yet again, which tore the sword aura apart in midair right away.
However, it did not take long for Luo Zihong to unleash his very next attack. Sword aura from all directions came down on Lu Xuan, as Luo Zihong unleashed over a dozen attacks in an instant, blocking off everything and intending to tear Lu Xuan to shreds.
Lu Xuan unleashed yet another attack with the golden dragon claw. That flurry of attacks was reduced to nothing within an instant.
