Chapter 16
As exchanges between masters were often close-fought, if he could protect his life once in a critical match, that might grant him a chance to turn the tables and emerge as the final victor.
Not to mention that all sorts of firearms, be they heavy or light, all posed a threat to him.
While he might be a HuaJin master half a step away from achieving level five Baodan Garndmastership, he would still drop dead if he was shot in his vitals.
Not just the Huajin Master, but even a Baodan Grandmaster would lose his life when fatally shot. However, Baodan Grandmasters tended to have alarmingly sharp instincts, and so it would be challenging to hit them. If three to five master shooters from the military managed to corner them into a narrow passageway with nowhere to hide, they would then have no chance of succeeding.
That was too slim a chance!
If he could become a level six martial arts legend, only then could he truly be unafraid of most commonplace firearms.
“That’s all the talismans that I have for now!”
On top of that, Lu Xuan also possessed the mystic Vajra Amulets. Until now, he could not comprehend how that obviously unscientific talisman managed to take effect.
However, one could not argue against the fact that the talisman did work. He had to admit that it blew him away.
Taking into consideration all aspects of Lu Xuan, Ling Huang was left with one thought, and that was to get Lu Xuan to his camp. Who knew? There might come a time where he needed to beg for his help.
2Lin Sheng watched as Ling Huang fell deep into his thoughts. He stayed silent as he stood behind Ling Huang, like an old monk slipping into meditation. However, deep in his heart, he was in turmoil with astoundment.
What he saw today far surpassed the common sense and logic of the martial arts realm. He could accept that Lu Xuan was stronger than him, and would at most sigh about how Lu Xuan was a born genius in martial arts. However, things like the Vajra Amulet defied both physics and logic.
“President Ling, pardon me, but I would like to ask for a favor!” Lin Sheng spoke up.
Ling Huang turned to Lin Sheng. “There’s no need to be reserved. You can say anything. Our families have been friends for years!”
That’s right. Ling Huang was friends with Lin Sheng’s family for many, many years. Their relationship could be traced back to the generation of Lin Sheng’s father, and Ling Huang even sponsored Lin Sheng in his martial arts studies.
If not for this layer of connection, Ling Huang could not have managed to hire Lin Sheng to be his bodyguard. One must know that while a HuaJin master was not as rare nor esteemed as a Baodan Grandmaster, they were not people one could easily employ.
“I would like to purchase a Vajra Amulet. I’ll make sure that the price is satisfactory, President Ling!”
Lin Sheng said after much contemplation.
“I thought it was something more severe! Here, take three talismans. Save the talk about money, for it only serves to hurt our relationship. I have always thought of you as a child and nephew. There is no need to be this self-conscious, for we are family!” Ling Huang laughed as he pulled out the protective talismans at once, passing them to Lin Sheng.
“Thank you, President Ling!” Ling Sheng could not help but feel touched. He took the talismans and put them away.
