Chapter 138 - Gods on Earth (1/2)

All of that had happened far too quickly, so much so that it seemed there was no way anyone could have expected such sudden changes to take place at all.

That thrust of the sword by Lu Xuan looked like some godly move pulled by a superhuman being, and that one thrust killed Song Lingfeng, who had been behaving as if he owned the place mere moments ago.

Lu Xuan turned to look at the crowd with plain, indifferent eyes, as if he was telling them that there was no turning the tables with him.

The notion was ridiculous.

The old guy had been thinking too much.

The place was dead silent then. To put it precisely, no one in the crowd expected either of them to survive such a crazy bombardment, yet not only had Song Lingfeng survived, but Lu Xuan had managed to do so as well.

Furthermore, compared to Song Lingfeng, who looked rather haggard and damaged, Lu Xuan had emerged totally unscathed. From head to toe, he was so clean that it seemed as if the airstrike had never even happened.

“Just… what… the hell is going on here?”

Everyone was shocked, wondering just how Lu Xuan had managed to pull all of that. Not even a Shield of Vigor at Deity level would have enabled him to stop all those attacks without suffering so much as a single scratch.

It was worth noting that the shockwave from such a crazy bombardment alone might have proven enough to shake people up so severely that the flesh would be torn from their bones.

No one knew just how Lu Xuan had managed to emerge unscathed.

Everyone was utterly baffled, wondering if he’d actually packed some kind of defensive power item on his person as well.

Defensive power items were, at the moment, the only means available to cultivators to survive being bombarded by such heavy weapons.

Lin Sheng was the only one who managed to even partially guess how Lu Xuan had done it. He knew that Lu Xuan was capable of crafting protection talismans of durability so high that they could withstand gunshots. Even though a talisman would not be able to take more than a single shot, it was nonetheless more powerful than any other defensive item.

Lin Sheng had no idea that he’d actually guessed the answer correctly this time. Lu Xuan had indeed managed to survive thanks to those protection talismans he’d packed.

That short period of bombardment alone had cost him over 200 of the talismans.

Each one of those protection talismans was unable to withstand the force generated by the explosions for more than a millisecond.

However, being able to withstand the shocks even for very short periods had proven enough to keep him alive through the most dangerous moments of the attack. That, coupled with Lu Xuan’s own formidable Shield of Vigor, resulted in his miraculous survival and avoidance of any damage.

No one else would have been able to throw money away the way Lu Xuan had with that defense. Those 200 protection talismans would cost more than 20 million yuan for most people, after all.

Yet Lu Xuan burned through that amount of money in mere moments.

Then again, the act could hardly be considered costly from his perspective. Despite the talismans’ exorbitant prices, it was not like he needed to do more than spend some time crafting them, really.

Lu Xuan then drew a gun from his Coiling Dragon Ring while the crowd was still reeling from the shock, and he fired away seemingly without bothering to aim.

Bang!

That one shot he fired hit and blew up one of the helicopters in the air.

“What kind of a gun is that?” Everyone turned their eyes to Lu Xuan’s gun. None of them were total strangers to firearms, as there was no way anyone could know absolutely nothing about guns while living in the modern era.

Still, guns capable of blowing up a helicopter with a single shot were unheard of, and all who were present were wondering just what kind of a joke that was.

The power displayed right before their eyes made the gun look like a rocket launcher instead.

Lu Xuan continued firing away with a deadpan expression.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Lu Xuan fired several shots, and every single shot took down one helicopter in the air immediately.

Explosions went off all over the place as the helicopters crashed, making things at the scene utterly terrifying.
