“Thank you for your trust, Mr. Lu, but aren’t you afraid of us running away with your money?” Monk Buyi asked.
“You can try, but I can tell you, owing me money won’t be fun,” Lu Xuan answered nonchalantly.
Nobody in the world could owe him money and just get away with it. If the Southern Shaolin Temple actually dared to take his wooden fish and not pay him, he alone would be more than strong enough to raze the entire temple.
He could demand ten to a hundred times what he asked for initially.
“We wouldn’t dare!” Monk Buyi clarified right away. That was not a joking matter. He saw just how terrifying that behemoth of a young man was capable of, after all.
Lu Xuan could have done away with Martial Arts Legends like him as easily as he could squish ants. Martial Arts Legends were hardly any stronger than mere children when dealing with National Guardians.
His brother-in-training was not yet a National Guardian, and even if Master Bushuo had indeed become a National Guardian, he probably would not have been able to take on that young man just yet.
He felt exasperated deep down, rather puzzled as to how one could have trained to become a monster that rivaled natural disasters.
“That settles it then. I have faith in the good reputation of the masters of the Southern Shaolin Temple, and I’m sure the temple that has been around for hundreds of years is worth more than 100 million.” Lu Xuan chuckled as he spoke.
The crowd’s eyes were wide open in disbelief, seeing how Lu Xuan sold the wooden fish to Master Buyi, feeling very eager to do something. However, seeing that even the weaker of the two was still nonetheless a Martial Arts Legend, it became obvious that such ideas could have led to their demise.
“Well then, since the matter is settled, I’ll just head home now,” Lu Xuan said to Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng thought about it for a bit. With Aida Ryosuke killed by Lu Xuan, the matter was indeed settled and done with. Furthermore, he knew that reinforcements were not far away, so he replied, “Thank you for what you have done for us, Mr. Lu. I shall pay you a visit someday.”
“It’s fine.”
Lu Xuan disappeared in a flash into the woods as soon as he said that. He was nowhere to be found soon afterward.
The crowd felt as if they had just witnessed a bolt of lightning zip past, which felt as eerie as the presence of ghosts.
“There are no footprints where he was just standing!” someone exclaimed in shock.
All of them only noticed that where Lu Xuan had been standing showed no footprints at all. They would have believed that they had seen a ghost if it was not for what they saw with their own eyes moments ago.
However, given how terrifying Lu Xuan was, it seemed to be totally within reason that he sported such advanced mastery of Qinggong—a form of Chinese parkour.
From the perspective of the crowd, anything that felt unbelievable seemed now totally within reason if it was Lu Xuan who had done it.
The next morning, in a secret meeting room of the Fu City Special Task Force’s bureau, a group of people looked at a pile of information as they argued away.
“James and Sakata Juuzaburo were both killed in a single attack. Martial Arts Legends are little more than ants to him!”
“Martial Arts Legends are nothing. He even killed that Aida Ryosuke with just a few moves, after all.”
“It’s said that he immediately killed Aida Ryosuke with Tsubame Gaeshi after only seeing him use the skill once!”
Some within the group wore military uniforms while others wore plain clothes. The group seemed to consist of people from different forces.
“His physicality is in uncharted territory. He can cover 100 meters in a second, and he can punch through a steel plate over a meter thick with just a single hit. That’s way above the human physical limit.”
An expert dressed in white analyzed the freshly acquired surveillance footage.
A group of people was analyzing Lu Xuan’s records from last night.
The more they went on with the analysis, the more chilled they felt.
