This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

A National Guardian was someone capable of taking on an army alone, and such a one-man-army figure was no joke.

 While it was not to say that taking them down would be impossible, but the losses incurred would have been too great, making anyone intending to take such a person to weigh the pros and cons again and again.

 That was why the best way of dealing with cultivators was simply to rally other cultivators of similar levels and gang up on them.

 But with Lu Xuan around, what happened in his past life would not happen again.

 “This is getting interesting.”

 Lu Xuan took a look at Aida Ryosuke. While his opponent was a Level Seven National Guardian, he remained unfazed, and not even the slightest hint of tension was seen in him.

 Despite being fellow National Guardians, the difference between both of them was simply too great.

 There had never been anyone capable of breaking that ultimate attack of his ever since he came to master it.

 Anyone capable of even dodging the attack and not being killed right away definitely was at the pinnacle of being a master in combat.

 He had never seen anyone like Lu Xuan before.

 Even the other two of the three top tier masters of the sword in Japan would not be able to pull what Lu Xuan just pulled.

 Yun Sheng only came to his senses at that moment. A cold sweat broke out all over him. He backed away immediately, not daring to stand where he was any longer.

 All the others, including Yang Chengsi and Monk Buyi, backed away as well.

 All of them were able to tell that they had become dead weight and would get in Lu Xuan’s way if they were to stick around. There was nothing they could do to help.

 None of the people present were common folk. All of them were seasoned cultivators, yet all of them watched the battle between the two behemoths in awe.

 The fight between Lu Xuan and Aida Ryosuke hardly looked intense, yet every move had proven shockingly devastating. Every attack demonstrated had been extremely fearsome. If anyone else present were on the receiving end, they would have probably ended up being killed in less than a second.

 “He is indeed a National Guardian!”

 Yang Chengsi was finally able to confirm that Lu Xuan was indeed at the National Guardian Level.

 That explained why Lu Xuan had been able to make short work of him, to begin with. He felt extremely lucky that he had been able to survive after offending a National Guardian.

 Everyone else who heard that was indescribably shocked deep down. They had initially thought Lu Xuan to be a Martial Arts Legend to be at the very extreme end of the level. Nobody had actually expected that he was actually at the National Guardian level.

 Or rather, none of them dared to verify it, even if they had thought about it.

 All of that was simply due to Lu Xuan being too young.

 He was so young that they found it all to be impossible.

 No one would have been able to get that far, even if they had begun training while in the womb!

 But then again, it was not like any of that would have mattered much, since be it Martial Arts Legends or National Guardians, those were not people they could fight to begin with.

 “So that’s what you called the ‘Tsubame Gaeshi,’ eh?” Lu Xuan said with a grin.

 Lu Xuan took a single step and came right before Aida Ryosuke afterward, bringing down the bronze sword in his hand.

 Two more strokes were brought down at the same time as the first.

 One slash was quicker than the previous one.

 All three slashes struck Aida Ryosuke at the very same time.

 “Tsubame Gaeshi!”

 Aida Ryosuke’s eyes were thrown wide open; it was as if he had just seen a ghost. What happened before him was unbelievable.

 He had put an unbelievable amount of effort into mastering the technique. It took him years to master that ultimate technique of Japanese swordsmanship.

 Yet, the very technique that he painstakingly mastered was picked up right away by a Chinese kid in his late teens after taking only a single look at it.

 He had only thought of resisting after seeing the slashes coming, but it was simply too late. The only thing he was able to do was put his katana before him to block the attack, yet the weapon was immediately shattered by Lu Xuan’s sword. His head was sent flying in an instant.

 Aida Ryosuke maintained a defensive stance even at the moment of his death, not able to react due to Lu Xuan’s attack coming in too fast.

 Lu Xuan remained deadpan as he executed his attack. While the Tsubame Gaeshi was lauded as a godly technique, it was simply because it was extremely fast.

 There was hardly any technique in it worth mentioning.

 Lu Xuan’s physicality was leagues above that of Aida Ryosuke, making him able to perform sword strokes twice as quickly as what Aida Ryosuke had shown.

 Copying Tsubame Gaeshi, or whatever, is a piece of cake so long as I know of its internal workings, Lu Xuan thought.
