Chapter 202 - There is Always Someone Stronger Out There (1/2)

“Sh*t!”

That fighter from the Amaterasu-gumi felt a chill running down his spine. Lu Xuan had been able to easily get rid of all of his underlings, and that alone was enough to make him shiver.

He felt the hairs all over his body standing up on end; it was a gut feeling that only kicked in when he ran into extremely dire situations.

That gut feeling was often more accurate than his own conscious judgment. As such, he never doubted that gut feeling.

Lu Xuan’s gaze on his back made him feel as if there were swords hanging right above his head.

Lu Xuan’s attitude infuriated him to no end as well. There was no way he would not have been able to tell that Lu Xuan was making a stepping stone out of him—an Invincible Vajra—just so that Lu Shanshan would be able to make further progress.

That was an insult like no other to him.

He never suffered a humiliation like this before.

With Lu Xuan’s gaze entirely fixed on him, he felt as if someone was pointing a sword right behind his back. He was unable to help but divert his attention to Lu Xuan, as he did not believe for a second that the other man would keep his hands to himself. That split second of a lapse in attention was enough for Lu Shanshan to gradually regain her advantage.

He was careless enough to let Lu Shanshan land a punch him directly, injuring him severely.

She then blasted yet another punch on him before he was able to get up, and that punch went straight through his chest.

“Did I just kill an Invincible Vajra?” Lu Shanshan was unable to believe what she had just done.

If it had not been for her putting her powers to the test like that, there was no way she would have believed that she was actually capable of such fearsome feats.

While the kill seemed kind of like a cheap shot due to Lu Xuan being around to distract her opponent, which, in itself, proved to be an extreme threat despite him having no intention of making a move, she had the powers of an Invincible Vajra.

“I’m now an Invincible Vajra, bro!”

Lu Shanshan leapt towards her brother, feeling very pleased with herself.

Lu Xuan looked at his sister and recalled how she pranced around her family whenever she got good grades when she was younger.

“Yeah, yeah, I can tell. You’re an Invincible Vajra already.”

Lu Xuan flashed a faint smile before cooling off right away, saying, “Now, you owe me an explanation, lady. Why are you here at Penglai Island?”

Lu Shanshan stuck her tongue out. She came to the island secretly.

In truth, she arrived at the island before Lu Xuan.

“I never thought this place would be this dangerous!”

Lu Shanshan pouted as she tried to defend herself.

Lu Xuan took no more than one look at his sister to know what she was up to. She fought Invincible Vajras before, and she did not lose. That fact probably had fueled her pride and ego somewhat.

“I assume that you now know that there is always someone more powerful out there, eh?”

Lu Xuan shook his head in exasperation.

Lu Shanshan nodded furiously. “I thought there were few Invincible Vajras to be had in the world. I never thought that there were so many of them. I actually ran into a couple just on my way here.”

Lu Xuan then explained, “Invincible Vajras are, of course, only a handful when you look at it on a global scale. They’re, without a doubt, exceedingly rare, so much so that you’d only find one in hundreds of thousands. But do you have any idea what this place is? Who the hell doesn’t know that there is that peach tree of this island, eh? Top-tier fighters from all of the world have gathered here, and you thought they’re here for fun?”

Lu Shanshan stuck her tongue out again, knowing that what she did was impulsive and reckless. While her cultivation level was such that she was able to hold her own against Invincible Vajras, that was only possible if she were to keep her fights short.

If she were to be forced to fight drawn-out fights or if she ran into some of the best among Invincible Vajras around, she would definitely lose.

She was still inferior when compared to the truly fearsome Invincible Vajras.
