Chapter 127 - Going at Each Other’s Throats at the Onset of Conflict
None in the crowd dared to say anything, and everyone was silent. It was then that they finally realized that the unassuming-looking young man was more than what he seemed to be.
Nobody present was stupid. Someone who dared to make Song Shijie look bad in front of everyone like that either had something up their sleeve or was just insane.
Lu Xuan took a chair from the side and sat down casually. He then crossed his legs and looked at Song Shijie. “Well then, you’ve gone the extra mile to force me out here, so what now?
“I really don’t know what has gotten into you. You come all the way here and throw your weight around just because Luo Ying provoked you? Didn’t you do any research before you came?”
Song Shijie’s expression changed drastically. He had no idea how Lu Xuan found out that Luo Ying, who was behind him, and he had indeed got to Min Province in a hurry due to what Luo Ying said.
There was no way he would not have realized from what Lu Xuan just said that Luo Ying had instigated him to do what he just did, so much so that she made him her tool just to get rid of Lu Xuan.
He was someone who thought he was clever, and that realization made him really frustrated.
The blade, which was coalesced using Spiritual Qi, flashed in an instant as it slashed through the air. The blade flashed as if it was a bolt of lightning, tearing the air before it apart.
Pffttt!
The blade was brought down on Wen Ziteng soon enough. He was unable to react in time, and his head was sent flying.
He was unable to even react to the attack, and his formidable Shield of Vigor felt like more than something made out of cardboard right before Lu Xuan’s blade.
His Shield of Vigor was cut through as if it was made out of paper.
The terrifying scene sent everyone into a panic, and countless waiters were terrified of what had happened.
Even those political and commercial big shots were extremely shocked by the horrifying slaughter happening right before their eyes.
Cultivators were out for each other’s throats at the onset of conflict. That was something they had only heard of in the past, and none of them had expected to see that happen before their eyes.
Song Shijie had been terrifying, to begin with, as he simply had Wen Ziteng kill the man right before him without showing any hint of hesitation.
However, it paled in comparison to what Lu Xuan had done, as he, too, had simply cut down Wen Ziteng without any hesitation as well.
The methods used right were over 100 times more bloody than those employed in business, as there was no room for mediation and reconciliation. The strength between both sides was laid bare for all to see.
Everyone held their breath, and it was only then that they realized what it was like to be caught in a dilemma.
On one side, there was the Holy Dragon Corporation, a conglomerate that was known all of the country, whose influence was extended even overseas.
On the other side, there was Lu Xuan—the number one in all of Min Province—a man whose reputation was forged through battles that he personally saw to, and a very formidable threat to all.
Being caught between those two had indeed put a lot of people into a dilemma. It was as if they were caught in a crossfire between two dragons, and any misstep would easily kill them.
