Chapter 136 - Showing the Crowd the Reality (1/2)

The minds of the crowd were rattled. The clash between those two men had really, truly opened their eyes.

It was just the two of them going at each other, but the power emanating from them both spread over a 100-meter radius.

It seemed as if the two men were not even human to begin with but rather, per their level’s namesake, gods on Earth. The crowd kept backing away a little at a time as the fight went on.

That was because debris kept flying through the air as the two of them fought. The debris traveled at speeds which made it little different from bullets, so it was dangerous to stay too close.

“So this is how Deities fight, then? They really are just like gods. It’s more than their feats that are godlike, they themselves seem to be godlike as well.”

“This is really something. Both of them could probably take on a whole army by themselves.”

Even the likes of the lame monk and Qing Yunzi were astounded, despite the fact that they had seen Deity level fighters go at it before.

Although it had seemed astounding at the time, that battle between Lu Xuan and Qiu Zhen looked insignificant compared to the one happening before their eyes right there and then.

Qiu Zhen, whose powers had only been forcefully cranked to Deity level, was far below Song Lingfeng in terms of combat prowess. One might even say that it was like heaven and earth between the two, as if they were not even at the same level to begin with.

That was precisely why Lu Xuan had not put in as much effort back then as he was putting in at the moment, which, in turn, was why that past fight looked so underwhelming compared to the one taking place before them all now.

The crowd saw how the two of them fought like lightning bolts clashing against each other.

It was especially so in Song Lingfeng’s case, for he attacked relentlessly, making him look like a being made of crimson lightning.

“Is that even human?” The young disciples from the likes of the Seven Invincible Sect and the Chen Clan shivered with shock as they watched the battle, as if they were seeing superhumans fighting right in front of their eyes.

For a hundred meters in all directions, everything was affected by the fight between the two greats.

The fight between two literal gods had completely exceeded their imagination.

The events were so surreal that the onlookers felt as if they must be watching some cheaply-produced sci-fi television show with lame special effects.

It was only then that they truly realized how terrifying Deities were.

Even in their wildest speculations, the crowd had still expected such beings to remain in the realm of common warriors, without even bothering to consider realms beyond what was humanly possible.

Yet the fight between the two of them before the massive crowd was evidently no longer that of common humans.

Boom!

A loud noise rang out, and Song Lingfeng’s Burning Sun Explosion went off like a grenade.

Lu Xuan was forced three steps away. Only three steps away. That did not seem like much, but it was the only upper hand that Song Lingfeng had been able to gain at any point in the entire fight.

Song Lingfeng panted furiously. The Burning Sun Explosion he’d used moments ago had expended half of his Spiritual Qi reserves.

That move had been initially reserved as his secret weapon, one which he would not carelessly use in conventional situations.

He had no intention of just bringing it out for no good reason here, either.

He thought that move would enable him to cause Lu Xuan severe injuries, thus opening up greater opportunities.

However, no one expected Lu Xuan to be only forced three measly steps back by such a devastating move. On top of that, he did not look any worse for wear after taking the hit.

It was apparent that the Burning Sun Explosion was hardly any threat to him. Meanwhile, Song Lingfeng became so rattled by the recoil of the move that he felt as if his internal organs were all shaking.

Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. It could be said that the move itself could easily cause both sides to suffer grievous injuries, and as such, it was a move that should absolutely never be used under conventional circumstances.

A hint of surprise and fear was seen in Song Lingfeng’s eyes after that. Lu Xuan actually managed to stay totally unscathed, despite having been hit with such an attack.

“Song Lingfeng, I see that you do have a trick or two up your sleeve. Well, too bad that you’ve miscalculated. My powers are far beyond what you could have imagined.”

Lu Xuan waved, and in an instant, all the snowflakes in the air seemed to be suddenly frozen where they were.

The next moment, countless snowflakes burst all over the place, as if the sky were filled with countless lethal projectiles. It looked just like what Song Lingfeng had pulled earlier, but it was several times greater in magnitude when Lu Xuan did it.
