Chapter 309 - A Great Battle Unlike Any Other (1/2)

The Crone was utterly enraged at the mere mention of Yan Han by Lu Xuan, and one could tell just how esteemed he was to the Crone.

Everyone had shivers when they saw what just happened.

Everyone saw just how unbelievably powerful that Crone actually was.

Yet, Lu Xuan was able to cut down that power item of hers with just a single swing of the blade, showing just how far superior his powers were compared with the Crone’s.

The power difference between them was so obvious that one could say that the fight was a walk in the park for Lu Xuan.

That Crone continued to cast looks of disgust and contempt at Lu Xuan. However, she never expected that she would be pushed back by the young man to such an extent.

Her eyes looked very, very crazed, as her desire to tear Lu Xuan to pieces filled her being.

It was to her utter surprise that the shallow waters that were the Earth actually managed to breed a true dragon like Lu Xuan. If she were to not do anything to deal with the problem, the man before her could possibly become a threat to her young master in the future.

Her eyes were burning with craziness at that thought. This prompted her to take out a pill from her person.

The Crone then popped the pill into her mouth right away. Burning, unchecked levels of energy continued to burst from that Crone’s body in an instant.

The spectators all saw that the Crone was already burning red hot all over, looking like a furnace that was about to explode.

Extreme power continued to burst from her body as that pill enabled her body to bring about power several times greater than her current normal state.

That pill was also a trump card that Yan Han had prepared for her beforehand.

She never actually expected that she would need the pill, yet surprisingly, there she was all the same.

The laws of the world around them made it so that she was unable to crank that boost of power to even higher levels.

But then again, it was several times beyond what she had been bringing to bear so far.

One could see just how great the gap between individuals at the Airborne Realm could be.

The Crone then slapped at the air with her frail, shriveled-looking hand, yet that slap conjured heavy gusts of Spirit Qi out of her hand.

That gust of Spirit Qi then quickly became a huge hand.

That was a trademark ability of an Airborne Realm being as well.

All the Spirit Qi within several hundred meters radius was sucked dry by the Crone in an instant.

That huge hand conjured using Spirit Qi measured over 100 meters from end to end, which was being brought down on him like a small mountain.

“She was at the end of her strength just moments ago, and now her powers have actually grown several magnitudes.”

“That clearly had something to do with that pill she just popped.”

“So this is the level of powers Airborne Realm beings are capable of reaching, eh?”

The fighters all around the two had their jaws agape as they saw what happened before them. That measure the Crone just pulled was deemed far more terrifying than being blasted by any kind of missile.

The best way to take out a cultivator was still through another cultivator.

High-tech weapons of mass destruction had an area-of-effect too massive for precise control, after all.

“Despite her powers being unable to go surpass an Airborne Realm being, I bet that she is near the upper limit of the realm all the same,” Zhang Fashan, Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, commented casually.

He was clearly able to see that there was utterly no way the Crone could actually kill Lu Xuan, as she would not have had to use such a measure that would bring about a lose-lose situation otherwise.

He was of an age comparable to that of the Crone. Both were of very advanced age. When said age was to be compared to the level of the cultivation progress, one could say that both had one foot in the coffin already.

That battle alone would cost her at least ten years of life.

Ten years to an elderly person and ten years to a young person were not the same things. Those ten years were of completely different concepts and meanings to them.

One could tell just how unhinged the Crone actually became from that fact alone.
