Chapter 58 (2/2)

However, his sword was also wrapped in a layer of Vigor, and this should have allowed his sword to slice through the opponent’s Shield of Vigor.

This was the awesome strength of a martial arts legend. The most the Baodan Grandmaster could do was use his Vigor in tandem with his fists, and even that was impressive for him.

On the other hand, martial arts legends could control the Vigor throughout their body, and even extend it onto their weapons.

This was something Baodan Grandmaster was incapable of doing.

However, he failed to understand the difference in strength between the Vigor he cultivated with his Skill Manuals, and the condensed Vigor Lu Xuan had gained by cultivating the Taixu Origin Power.

They were not even on the same level.

Trying to estimate Lu Xuan’s strength based on conventional circumstances was naturally a mistake.

If Luo Yongnian had studied the battle records about how Lu Xuan resisted attacks from large caliber firearms during the battle against the Ling family, he probably would not have challenged him so boldly.

Even if one were a warrior who prided oneself on physical toughness, and cultivated oneself into a martial arts legend, one would not thoughtlessly take a bullet from a large caliber firearm. Every time the bullet hit, even if one could block it, it would expend a large amount of Vigor.

Over time, under a hail of gunfire, only death awaited him.

Yet, Lu Xuan could do whatever he wanted, and he walked freely through the storm of bullets, indifferent to attacks from those guns.

This was the difference between the two of them. It was something that could not be reasonably calculated.

Luo Yongnian felt a disruption in the flow of his Qi and blood. While the force from Lu Xuan’s punch had been dispersed, there was still some damage remaining, which affected his Qi and blood circulation, making his face flush red.

It almost made him spit out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Xuan did not give him a moment to recover, stepping forward and nimbly moving in front of Luo Yongnian.

Boom!

Lu Xuan threw out another simple punch, but this time, the punch exploded with an amazing shockwave.

Luo Yongnian guarded himself against the attack with both arms in front of him, as the blow sent him flying backward in a flash.

His arms had almost gone numb!

Luo Yongnian yelled out loudly, transferring his Vigor into both arms in a desperate attempt to relieve them of the numbness.

However, Lu Xuan followed up with more strong attacks. His moves flowed naturally, like clouds or water, and his attacks had a detached and carefree quality, which made them unpredictable and ever-changing. He was not limited to any martial arts style, as he was already at a level where he did not need to use any fixed set of moves.

In the present day, as the world was just beginning to change, duels between warriors were still decided by who had the better moves or techniques. In these aspects, Lu Xuan had already reached the pinnacle of his cultivation.

His arbitrary attacks were enough to force Luo Yongnian back.

The middle-aged man in the Chinese robe watching from the sidelines was dumbfounded. Lu Xuan was not only vastly superior to Luo Yongnian in terms of physical strength, but he also had him thoroughly beat in terms of fighting skills.

Before Luo Yongnian could unleash a single move, he would be interrupted by Lu Xuan. It was as though Lu Xuan’s eyes could directly process data, allowing him to easily identify all of Luo Yongnian’s weaknesses and openings.

It made Luo Yongnian want to vomit blood!

It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling, as any force he tried to exert would be interrupted midway. It was as though Lu Xuan could see exactly where he planned to direct his energy and how he wanted to attack.

It was a feeling that led him to despair because Lu Xuan was not winning by having a stronger physique, but he had simply dominated him completely in terms of pure technique.

It was the way he normally dominated his enemies.

Now that he was on the receiving end of such a thrashing, the feeling made him want to vomit blood.
