Chapter 100 - Small Places with Nasty People (2/2)

One needed a certain measure of cultivation in order to be able to defend themselves, after all.

Lu Xuan was completely unfazed by all the big talk from Qiu Qianying. He had seen such expressions from that man before, but he did not expect that man to be so reckless in his younger days.

But then again, when he thought about it, by the time Lu Xuan annihilated the entire Soul-snatcher Sect back in his past life, all the other sects and clans hidden from the world had emerged one after another. The Soul-snatcher Sect was nothing in comparison, and they had to lay low just to avoid those of the other clans and sects from being reminded that there was yet another group of scum yet to be snuffed out.

Things were different at present. The world had only begun to awaken, and the Soul-snatcher Sect was considered one with a proper lineage and foundation compared to the likes of the Chen Clan and the Seven Invincible Sect.

The situation with the world of cultivators saw small places with nasty people all over the place. They all popped up one after another, thinking that they were gods among men.

“I had been in a good enough mood before to consider making your daughter a mistress of mine, but now I’ve changed my mind. I’m gonna make sure your daughter dies a horrible death right before your eyes.” Qiu Qianying was getting excited as some images popped into his head.

“Please, Mr. Lu, do something,” Ling Huang requested solemnly. His eyes glittered with a sharp glint as he spoke.

While Ling Huang was indeed a merchant who was incapable of fighting to save his life, it would have been a foolish mistake to think that he would have just surrendered on that day.

Qiu Qianying only then took notice of Lu Xuan, who was standing by Ling Huang’s side. That was because Lu Xuan looked totally harmless, so much so that he was unable to sense that the young man had been a cultivator at all.

He was unable to sense a hint of threat from Lu Xuan.

However, what Ling Huang said surprised him somewhat. Despite what he had just pulled, he found it puzzling that Ling Huang still chose to have faith in that young man.

Lu Xuan flashed a faint grin and leapt from the second floor, landing without making a sound at all.

It was only then that Qiu Qianying realized that Lu Xuan was probably capable of doing something.

However, he was hardly fazed at all. His current cultivation level was such that he was considered to be at the top amongst the younger generation. He had no problem killing those who were older than he was.

Lu Xuan looked too young to be capable of much. It looked as if it would not matter even if he had begun training before birth.

“Yet another one with a death wish. Good.”

Qiu Qianying smirked coldly.

However, Qiu Qianying frowned at the very next moment, seemingly having recalled something as something came to mind. He said, “I remember you. I read your records when I had my men look into Ling Fei. You attended the same school as her. So you are his guy, huh? I presume her refusal of me has something to do with you then.”

Qiu Qianying behaved brazenly, talking like he was the boss of the place.

“I guess a cracked bell can never ring well,” Lu Xuan said nonchalantly.

“You dare to speak ill of me? Die!” Qiu Qianying shouted and launched a punch right away at Lu Xuan.

Boom!

The force of the punch was such that it pulverized the air right before it.

The spikes on the knuckledusters tore through the air and looked extremely dangerous.

Martial Arts Legend fighters were capable of pushing their Vigor outside. While the knuckleduster was short, the Vigor extending outward was akin to blades of considerable length, intending to tear out Lu Xuan’s throat right away.

Lu Xuan still behaved in a relaxed manner despite the dire situation. He closed his fist and threw a punch that seemed to carry little to no force behind it.

“You really have a death wish, thinking you can take my knuckleduster empty-handed.”

Qiu Qianying smirked ferociously as if he was able to see images of Lu Xuan’s fist being torn to pieces before him.

Boom!

Qiu Qianying was sent flying at a speed far higher than when he pounced. His entire arm was soaked in blood. The muscle all over his arm had been torn in many places.
