Chapter 90 - Anything could be used as a Weapon
Anyone who intended to try their hand and help out with the battle was stunned right away. One single swing of the blade, and two Martial Arts Legends were gravely injured. Such combat prowess was nothing short of monstrous.
At the very least, the man was not someone they could have taken on. The man was such a terrifying being that none of them would have even been able to resist for a second.
Everyone was rendered stunned where they stood.
None of them dared to go forward.
The entire scene looked like time stopped flowing altogether.
Both Yang Chengsi and Monk Buyi spat up blood as they were sent flying. Their faces were ashen, and a term that sounded even more frightening came to mind.
National Guardian!
Lu Xuan remained unfazed despite facing such a terrifying attack. The bronze sword in his hand was lifted quick enough to block the incoming slash, just in the nick of time.
Clang!
The crisp sound of metal clashes was heard when those two blades clashed.
Sparks flew everywhere at the very moment of the clash.
Aida Ryosuke’s attack was blocked, and he backed two steps away, feeling his arm go numb.
He was holding his katana with two hands, and Lu Xuan wielded his sword single-handedly, yet he was the one being at a disadvantage instead.
He was forced to back away, yet Lu Xuan stood where he was without flinching, making it seem as if that attack he pulled with nothing out of the ordinary.
Aida Ryosuke knew just how terrifying that slash he dealt had been. It was an attack that, when reinforced with Spiritual Qi, would have easily cut down even a one-meter-thick block of steel.
Common people, even when armed with a blade, would have been cut down altogether.
He knew that the bronze sword was an extraordinary piece, yet the person wielding it was even more extraordinary.
While Aida Ryosuke went at Lu Xuan with impunity, Lu Xuan gauged Aida Ryosuke as well. He came to realize why the Special Task Force back in his past life had not been able to prevent the seal from being brought out of the country.
Under conventional circumstances, if it had not been for him being around, all those people who came to intercept the robbers would have all ended up killed by Aida Ryosuke alone.
He had not the slightest doubt about that, as such was the power of a Level Seven National Guardian.
National Guardians would not be National Guardians if they did not provide such an overwhelming edge in confrontations.
It would have been disadvantageous to mobilize the military forces for dealing with masters of such caliber in the woods—a place where there was a huge, open space for doing battle.
The enemy would have had an easy time running away. They would have then proceeded to take out the entire legion using guerilla tactics.
It would have all been the same even if the lone enemy was not armed with a gun.
Masters at National Guardian Level were just as how they were described in wuxia novels—people capable of making a weapon out of anything they picked up.
They would have been able to kill with a single pebble.
That was akin to having all of nature as their arsenal. Taking out beings of such level would rack up a list of casualties so frightening that it would have sent shivers down the hearts of the most unfeeling of generals.
