Chapter 45
She was filled with intense regret by then. She lamented how bad her judgment had been. He thought that Senior Li had been quite a stunning figure, and Lu Xuan looked very unassuming in comparison. His appearance had not suggested otherwise at all.
No one knew before that that Lu Xuan was actually the real deal. There was no surprise why he had never bothered with her sarcastic jabs and ridicule on him before. That was not to say that he was dense or that he was thick-skinned; he simply did not care about the two of them.
Dragons in the sky would not concern themselves with what ants on the ground thought of them, after all.
It was just that. Nothing more, nothing less.
However, it was unknown why Lu Xuan became a guide. It had been a chance of a lifetime for them, and it was quite a pity that they did not reach out and grasp it.
Guo Yuanyuan was not the only one filled with immense regret at the moment, as Lu Lingyu shared most of her thoughts as well. While she never spoke ill of him like Guo Yuanyuan did, she had never been very cold toward Lu Xuan nonetheless.
They had just missed an opportunity of a lifetime.
She truly realized what being a snob had been like and how she became a villain of the story instead.
That was the most terrifying outcome possible.
Despite his physical prowess being left intact, a martial arts legend devoid of the ability to gather Inner Qi was hardly any different from Baodan Grandmasters.
His fighting prowess had probably been reduced to the level of common Baodan Grandmaster right there and then.
Despite the level of Baodan Grandmaster being of unimaginable heights to common folk, as someone who had actually been a martial arts legend before, the difference was entirely unacceptable.
That kick from Lu Xuan crippled Chen Jiashang’s Dantian, which was located in the lower abdomen, for good. With his internal organs already severely injured, he struggled to even move.
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, “Taking you down took a lot of work.”
Everyone heard what Lu Xuan said and thought he meant that defeating a martial arts legend like Chen Jiashang had been difficult. However, none of what he did seemed to have suggested that it was difficult.
What Lu Xuan said afterward almost caused everyone to burst in astonishment.
“It was a hell of a lot of work keeping you alive. You were a martial arts legend so weak that I could have almost kicked you to death,” Lu Xuan mumbled to himself.
What he said was true. Compared to the ones with astonishing lineages behind them, a martial arts legend like Chen Jiashang felt like a worm instead.
It was obvious that Chen Jiashang never truly learned anything impressive. He was but a lone Cultivator who taught himself everything he knew.
Pfftt!
Chen Jiashang spat blood right after hearing that. It was obviously not enough that he was defeated and his powers crushed. The one who defeated him had to add insult to injury.
All those who were present were at a loss for words. They probably only wanted Lu Xuan just to stop throwing his weight around and keep his bragging in check, for he was already shining as brightly as the sun.
