Chapter 24
While Ling Fei had no clue what the “chance” Lu Xuan mentioned was all about, Lu Xuan knew about it all. As the changes of heaven and earth hastened and deepened, a golden age where everyone’s a cultivator would soon arrive.
In that golden age, even an ordinary man could begin to cultivate!
Not just that, but Ling Fei was born into a family of extreme wealth. The immensity of the resources she has in her hands meant that she, too, had the edge over others in this brand new era.
That was so, as cultivation also required a vast amount of resources and a lot of money to sustain. These areas are exactly where the wealthy would have a clear advantage.
In his past life, many of the powerhouses were backed by none other than wealthy financial groups.
This was especially true when people were starting to cultivate. When many were still trying to make sense of what was happening, financial groups and tycoons had already begun to act.
In his past life, Ling Fei was killed by the kidnappers, as she had not received Lu Xuan’s help.
Ling Fei asked, very much curious.
Lu Xuan shook his head. “I can’t see him, or at least, I have not practiced a remarkable art of a similar kind; however, I could vaguely sense his presence. He has withdrawn at top speed, and I cannot catch up to him. He is at least three kilometers away, and if I leave you alone here, you’re likely to be attacked a second time!”
Ling Fei didn’t notice that what Lu Xuan said was that he “hadn’t” practiced this sort of remarkable art, not that he did not have this sort of ability.
However, her expression, too, turned solemn in moments. The overseas organization had arranged for this assassination attempt not long after the Poison Scorpion’s plans had fallen through. They could be sure that this would not be the last they saw of them.
However, Ling Fei found herself once again in awe at what Lu Xuan could do. One must realize that Lu Xuan had sensed a human from three kilometers away using sensory perception, and that was an unbelievable feat in itself.
While his sense of the other person might have been very vague, it was almost like he had the ability of a radar.
She suddenly recalled that when Ling Sheng was introducing the Nine-tiered System of Cultivators, he did mention something. Those terrifying experts like Lu Xuan, a level five Baodan Grandmaster, half a step into a level six martial arts legend, would often have shocking instincts like this.
Although they may be made of flesh and blood, their frighteningly accurate instincts ensured that they could almost always bust free from the encirclement of small troops. There was close to no chance of capturing them.
They were sending another powerhouse of the same level after he was the best way to deal with a powerhouse. One may even send in a warrior of a higher level.
Lu Xuan sighed. The current him had his hands tied when faced with a long-ranged assassin. If he were alone, he could have taken off right after the killer and chase him down.
However, he could not possibly leave Ling Fei all alone in this place. She was practically defenseless.
While a Baodan Grandmaster could almost be called superhuman, they were, after all, still very much human. When shot by a dozen guns, they would lose their life, just like anyone else.
That was also the reason why he hadn’t killed Luo Kun despite knowing how much of a lowlife he was.
That was because he was more than clear about the influence of the group behind Luo Kun. If he wanted to kill Luo Kun, Lu Xuan could do that with a single hand.
However, to barge into Luo Kun’s nest and kill him was not easy. With Lu Xuan’s current skill set, it was practically impossible. While he was confident that he could have returned in one piece so long as he had this Vajra Amulet, it would alert the snake hiding in the bush as well.
COMMENT
There is only one chance for him to kill Luo Kun, and so, Lu Xuan must tolerate him for a while longer!
Unless he could break through to level six and become a martial arts legend. When that time came, he could turn Spiritual Qi into Vigor. He could also use a lot of other skills. As compared to the current him, he could use many more methods, making him more than two-fold stronger.
He could easily hide from the strong patrol teams and kill Luo Kun in the Luo Family nest.
However, that would hardly be real strength. One he reached level seven—National Guardian level—he would no longer need to fear heavy weapons like missiles. He could uproot the entire Luo family on his own!
2Luo Kun, I’ll let you live for a couple of days more! he thought.
