Chapter 56
Lu Xuan knew almost immediately that it was the feat of awakened mental powers from one of the Awakened.
Being able to affect him even for a mere moment meant that the one who was there was a formidable one as well. Such a figure would be at least level six, which, in turn, meant that it was yet another martial arts legend.
Anyone who was lower than level six would not have even gotten the chance to affect him at all, to begin with.
A pair of eyes seemed startled somewhere in the dark. Despite being the one with the element of surprise, that figure had only been able to momentarily affect the target’s senses.
It was something that the assailant had not encountered since he had awakened such supernatural abilities.
He was formidable enough to hypnotize even the likes of level five Baodan Grandmasters with just a single look. Not even level six martial arts legends would have been able to shrug off his illusions without breaking a sweat.
He was, too, a level sixer, after all, and his massive Mental Strength had always been his greatest weapon.
However, the assailant quickly realized that Lu Xuan was now turning his gaze in his direction. The assailant was instantly frightened, as that spoke of one terrifying truth—Lu Xuan was able to detect his presence.
That was because no one knew of how terrifying martial arts legends could be than martial arts legends themselves.
“You won’t get the chance to do so, though, for you won’t be walking out alive today.”
A dagger emerged out of nowhere right after Luo Yongnian finished saying that, heading straight for Lu Xuan’s neck.
The dagger had a bluish-green sheen on it, a sign that it was poisoned. One gash would have been enough to kill an elephant.
A sinister grin appeared on Luo Yongnian’s face. He and Lu Xuan had been trading words all that time just to set up that very instant.
It was only then that a human-like silhouette appeared vaguely before Lu Xuan’s eyes.
What happened next rendered the hidden assailant astonished. Lu Xuan had the dagger between two of his fingers.
That dagger, which had been sharp and tough enough to break stone effortlessly, was completely stuck, unable to move even an inch.
That person who had been lurking all along realized that the tables were turned against him right away, causing him to want to run immediately.
It seemed as if one missed hit would force him to back away thousands of miles.
