This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

The minds of the crowd were rattled. The clash between those two men had really, truly opened their eyes.

 It was just the two of them going at each other, but the power emanating from them both spread over a 100-meter radius.

 It seemed as if the two men were not even human to begin with but rather, per their level’s namesake, gods on Earth. The crowd kept backing away a little at a time as the fight went on.

 That was because debris kept flying through the air as the two of them fought. The debris traveled at speeds which made it little different from bullets, so it was dangerous to stay too close.

 “So this is how Deities fight, then? They really are just like gods. It’s more than their feats that are godlike, they themselves seem to be godlike as well.”

 “This is really something. Both of them could probably take on a whole army by themselves.”

 Even the likes of the lame monk and Qing Yunzi were astounded, despite the fact that they had seen Deity level fighters go at it before.

 Song Lingfeng’s expression changed immediately. That had indeed been his intention.

 He had absolute confidence in himself before, thinking Lu Xuan too young to have any measure of power worth mentioning, even if the young man had begun training before birth.

 Killing Lu Xuan would not have been enough to satisfy him, as he wanted to make a big deal of the achievement. He wanted to make sure that the crowd would be able to witness him killing Lu Xuan right before their eyes.

 He wanted the so-called Min Province Alliance to crumble altogether.

 In doing so, he would have been able to bring the entire Min Province under the Holy Dragon Corporation’s influence and get them under the Song Clan’s control.

 That had been his intention all along.

 He had absolutely not expected to run into someone who was truly more than he could handle. Lu Xuan’s powers were really much greater than Song Lingfeng had expected.

 Lu Xuan’s powers were far beyond what he had expected, so much so that none of the old monsters that he personally had known could even compare with what Lu Xuan brought to the table.

 It was only then that he realized that all his earlier plans had been little more than delusions.

 At that moment, a sense of crisis that he had never felt before welled up in his mind.

 Despite both men being Deities, it was apparent that Lu Xuan was more powerful and more terrifying than any other he knew.

 While he had clearly gone all-out with that move earlier, he was able to sense that Lu Xuan did not even seem to have any intention of going all-out.

 Every single attack and defense the young man performed felt effortless and without care.

 Lu Xuan’s powers were so unimaginably profound that it scared even the likes of Song Lingfeng.

 He was not the only one who felt shocked to the core. All the others present shared the same thoughts They, too, were just as stunned.

 They were all able to tell that Song Lingfeng was more than just on the defensive at the moment. To put it precisely, he was completely overwhelmed.

 That contradicted every expectation they’d had before. They had speculated that Lu Xuan’s level must be more or less similar to that of Song Lingfeng, so none of them thought Lu Xuan would fare well in the fight. From their perspective, it would have been commendable for him to even keep himself from getting killed.

 Lu Xuan was very young, after all, and so he might not have been Song Lingfeng’s match just yet. The young man would have perhaps been truly invincible about 10 years later.

 Lu Xuan had had all the time he needed.

 Cultivators were still mortals, who could age and die as well as anyone else.

 Song Lingfeng was an old man who was only getting older. Even if he was able to keep making breakthroughs, maintaining his prime was already an arduous task in itself.

 In contrast, Lu Xuan had yet to reach his peak. One of them was going downhill while the other was going up. The power difference between both men would only get wider and wider.

 Yet what happened before the crowd’s eyes was Lu Xuan’s way of showing them all the reality that his age really did not matter.

 He was already pummeling Song Lingfeng just as he was.
