Chapter 58 (1/2)
Lu Xuan’s Mental world gave him the feeling that he was in a very abnormal situation. In terms of volume, Lu Xuan’s Mental Strength was much greater than his, but Lu Xuan’s Mental Strength had a terrifying level of quality that was incomparable, as he was able to condense it into a Golden Dragon.
He had never seen such fearsome Mental Strength before. With the protection of the Golden Dragon, it meant that all kinds of Mental attacks would not be able to damage Lu Xuan.
He could not even begin to imagine how he cultivated this Golden Dragon.
The middle-aged man in the Chinese robe became fully aware that Lu Xuan’s will surpassed all fear. Cultivating the firmness of his will, he could manifest it in the world. This was an extraordinary feat, and it was as though he was no longer human, but only a heavenly deity.
This middle-aged man in the Chinese robe could not have known that it was due to Lu Xuan’s rebirth. In his past life, Lu Xuan was a peerless Celestial Lord, and even though his Mental Strength since his rebirth was a far cry from what he had in his past life, the quality of his Mental Strength had not deteriorated.
This made Lu Xuan invincible in competitions of Mental Strength with cultivators at the same level, or even when faced with those who were several levels higher.
To put it differently, for someone like him, who was a Mental Awakened, there was nothing he could do against Lu Xuan, as he had immunity.
At this point, Luo Yongnian finally came to realize that something was amiss. The ace in the hole that he was so proud of did not seem to have any effect in front of Lu Xuan.
Before all this, he was not 100% confident, which was why he went on the Dark Web to find two top tier masters.
A top tier killer and a top tier Mental Awakened!
He was using them to target Lu Xuan’s potential weaknesses.
Now one of them had been killed, and the other had been easily countered and basically crippled!
The only remaining player on his side was himself.
Even so, Luo Yongnian did not feel a shred of fear. While he was not a 100% sure of victory, he still had unshakeable confidence in himself.
From his back, he drew out a long sword. In the instant the sword was fully drawn, the air seemed to solidify.
An intense killing intent exploded out from his body.
“Lu Xuan, I must admit that you are indeed a rare prodigy like few I’ve ever seen. But before me, you have no chance of winning!”
Luo Yongnian was armed with a weapon, while Lu Xuan was fighting bare-handed. This would be his greatest advantage.
As the saying went, “a weapon with a long reach is stronger, and a weapon with a short reach is more dangerous!”
Furthermore, a martial arts legend was still a human, and not actually a god. If he was struck by a sword, he could still die.
In that instant, Luo Yongnian’s strength was through the roof, as he pushed it to his maximum limit. In the time span of a single breath, he had rushed to the front of Lu Xuan, bringing the sword crashing down towards him in a simple move with the strength to cleave mountains.
It was a simple maneuver, but in the hands of Luo Yongnian, it had a miraculous strength, enough to reach the heavens.
Ordinarily, when faced with such force, even Baodan Grandmaster would find it difficult to consider fighting back.
It was extremely fearsome!
However, his opponent was Lu Xuan. Without even looking at him, Lu Xuan clenched his hand into a fist, sending it shooting out in a simple punch.
Clang!
Lu Xuan slammed his fist into the edge of the blade, and the force of the collision caused a loud sound to boom out, while also sending Luo Yongnian hurtling backward through the air.
Luo Yongnian flipped over a few times in midair before landing on his feet. After he landed on the ground, he staggered backward several steps before the momentum from Lu Xuan’s punch finally dissipated.
“How is this possible!” Luo Yongnian stared wide-eyed in utter disbelief.
He knew, of course, that Lu Xuan had enveloped his fist in his Shield of Vigor, making it as hard and durable as metal.
