Chapter 145 - The Song Clan, Erased
This was what baffled Song Maoxun the most. Since the very moment Lu Xuan had expressed his intentions to find Song Lingfeng specifically, it was as if the young man knew all that there was to know about the clan. Every trump card available to the clan and every single means that the clan had at their disposal seemed to be within Lu Xuan’s expectations.
That was what he found the most terrifying about Lu Xuan, as well as what he was least able to fathom.
It seemed like Lu Xuan had been able to play everyone as if they were puppets in his hands right from the start.
Lu Xuan grinned faintly and said, “All your secrets are no secrets to me.”
Lu Xuan knew every single means of retaliation that the Song Clan had from the very beginning. There was no way he would have asked specifically for those four bronze pillars from the Special Task Force if he did not mean to use them to prevent anyone in the clan from escaping.
All that preparation had been done in anticipation of the spell that Song Maoxun had just performed—Spirit Possession. Many cultivation forces had access to that spell.
The Spirit Possession of the Maoshan Sect was the most renowned of them all. The Spirit Possession spell of that particular sect allowed one to summon a Celestial Master Zhang of past generations to possess the summoner, enabling them to gain combat capacity far beyond their own.
“This is impossible. I’m at Deity level as well. There is no way I am inferior to you!” Song Maoxun roared.
His powers had been enhanced to Deity level in a very short span of time, with every single one of his attacks bringing about devastating damage. He was untold orders of magnitude stronger than he had once been.
Despite all of that, he remained utterly incapable of fighting Lu Xuan head-to-head. In fact, at present, he was completely overwhelmed by the young man.
He had not been there for the battle back at Mount Qingyun, so he had no idea how Lu Xuan had gotten rid of Song Lingfeng, the Great Ancestor of the Song Clan.
He had instead gone to assault Lu Xuan’s manor, so this was his first time getting a taste of just how terrifying Lu Xuan’s combat capacity was. Despite being at a more or less similar level by then, he still found himself completely overwhelmed.
Be it speed, power, foundation, or knowledge of the sword, he was entirely overtaken by Lu Xuan on all fronts.
The fight felt like a grown man toying with a child.
Despite being at Deity level, his powers were utterly incapable of even threatening Lu Xuan at all.
Worse yet, his stamina was wearing down rapidly. His current level of power had been a product of forced enhancement through the use of Spirit Possession, to begin with. Be it in terms of vista, experience, or realization, he was far below an actual Deity-level being. While he was no doubt far more powerful than Song Tongheng had been, there was still no way he was able to compare with Lu Xuan.
Song Maoxun then sensed that the energy was leaving his body at a frightening rate.
It took mere moments for him to be returned to National Guardian level again. At the very instant he became just a National Guardian, blood began to gush from his throat, for Lu Xuan’s sword had punched right through it.
