Chapter 25：Great Ease Comes after the Fulfilment of Mind (1/2)

”So, both of you were nearly assassinated on your way here?”

The Ling Manor, Living Room.

Ling Huang looked at Lu Xuan and Ling Fei with a darkened expression.

Ling Huang was overcome by lingering fear upon hearing Ling Fei's recount. If the prior kidnapping could still be considered a mere warning for him to give up on the project, what happened today meant that they had given up on superficial pleasantries and were going all out to get him.

”Good, good, good. Do they take me, Ling Huang, as some easy pushover?” Ling Huang had finally made up his mind. He would make them pay, tit-for-tat!

Even if the other party was a world-renowned conglomerate, they had already shed all pretense of cordiality. The moment they disregarded all rules in business and elevated the matter to manslaughter, they rendered all existing laws and regulations meaningless.

Lu Xuan's expression was also quite grim. That was because their opponent seemed much decisive than he assumed; although not much time had passed since the kidnap, they were able to react immediately and carry out a follow-up attack.

Once they threw all pretenses out of the window, they instantly decided to kill them, nipping potential trouble in the bud.

”I can't thank you enough for today, Mr. Lu. If not for you, I couldn't dare think of the consequences!”

Ling Huang thanked Lu Xuan profusely.

”No need to thank me. Take your money, solve your woes. What I did today was nothing more than my duty. However, us letting the assassin escape today might come back and bite us in the future!” Lu Xuan warned, ”While I did not manage to see who he was, for someone to pose a threat to me, he must at least be a Gun King!”

A 'Gun King' far surpassed your everyday sharpshooter; he was the absolute king of all sharpshooters.

Even when taking an entire military region into account, those who could reach the caliber of a Gun King were few and far between!

Once an assassin of that caliber was activated, it would almost always be a guaranteed kill.

”Looks like I have to cultivate in earnest now!”

Lu Xuan commented.

”If I'm able to improve my cultivation a step further, that shooter would have no chance of escaping from my hands!”

If he had wanted to kill a Gun King, it would have been effortless despite that these Gun Kings had undergone strict, rigorous training, every one of them as powerful and capable as a King Soldier.

However, to Lu Xuan, they were still too weak!

Even now, if he hadn't needed to bring Ling Fei along, the assassin would have zero chance of escaping Lu Xuan's pursuit. However, if he had wanted to ensure a 100% success rate for his actions, he would still need first to enter stage six and become a martial arts legend. By that time, many of the skills and methods currently locked away while he was in level five would be open to him once again.

Take, for example, the secret art of tracking someone down. Finding a single person within millions was easily achievable with that secret art.

When that time came, the assassin would find it difficult to shake his tracking even if they were hidden in darkness.

Ling Fei looked at Lu Xuan, slightly confused. What did he mean by he's going to start practicing in earnest? Don't tell her that Lu Xuan had never cultivated earnestly before this?

However, from her observations, Lu Xuan seemed to cultivate all time all day. If that could not be considered as earnest cultivation, what could?

Lu Xuan detected Ling Fei's gaze but did not explain further. For the past while, he had been cultivating in terms of the human mindset.

The deeper one went in cultivation, the more they learn about the study of the advancement of the mind. This was especially true for Lu Xuan, a Celestial Lord second to none.

That was also the reason their concerted attack would kill him during his past life. After Lu Xuan became a Celestial Lord, he discovered a flaw in his mindset, and so he traveled across the land while he cultivated. Someone noticed his plight and went up directly to him.

In the end, a great battle erupted, and he was killed and reborn.
