Chapter 358 - Killing the Pope with a Single Slash (1/2)

Everyone looked at the two who were now fighting up in the air.

All kinds of thoughts ran through their minds. Fo the chief, he was asking himself something along the lines of ‘just who the hell is Lu Xuan??’

Although everyone speculated a thing or two about how capable he actually was, everyone seemed to be compelled to reassess what they knew about him whenever he used his powers.

Most people thought what he showed every time they saw him, that what he demonstrated, was probably the most he could do. However, they were always quickly proven that he still had a lot more to show.

He gatecrashed the White House before and went on a rampage, killing three Airborne Realm cultivators as if they were flies.

Everyone simply thought that he had become even more proficient with the powers he wielded at his level. After all, he was known to have killed Airborne Realm beings a very long time ago.

Many people knew a thing or two about that battle in the South Pole, as well.

Lu Xuan ended up almost eradicating the entire Covenant of Darkness on the spot.

Despite having several Airborne Realm beings emerging among the ranks of the covenant, they were nonetheless reduced from a formidable group of people capable of taking on the Roman Curia to the likes of the Maoshan Sect and the Celestial Master Sect.

The only thing that actually set them apart from the aforementioned Sects was that they had gathered their powers from having laid the groundwork in the mundane work for over 1000 years.

However, the biggest factors among the cultivation forces were still the number of top-notch fighters present and the quality of those people. All that groundwork laid among commoners did little to bolster their power; it was far from being considered determining factors in such cases.

One could only imagine how much impact that battle in the South Pole had on the covenant.

This was exactly why many people became so wary of Lu Xuan. What they found so utterly terrifying about him was the fact that he would mark them for elimination next.

It was only at that moment where Lu Xuan slowly revealed just how much more he could bring to the table. The spectators realized that they had been naïve with their speculations of Lu Xuan’s power.

Despite being bolstered by the power of faith and making a huge leap into the Divine Treasure Realm, Pope Innocent could never truly beat Lu Xuan in combat.

After all, his own pinnacle level of combat prowess prior fell short of even taking a single swing of the sword from Lu Xuan.

Many people deemed Lu Xuan’s level of combat prowess to be truly beyond their comprehension.

The Divine Treasure Realm, man!

The Divine Treasure Realm!

Countless thoughts ran through many people’s minds.

It was worth noting that they were all considered to be the cream of the crop in their own fields and expertise. Even so, they all understood nonetheless just how difficult it would be to make a breakthrough into the Divine Treasure Realm under such an environment.

Everyone was capable of comprehending the fact that Pope Innocent successfully made a breakthrough into the Divine Treasure Realm and managed to maintain combat prowess at such a level.

However, they all wondered just how Lu Xuan managed to do the same thing. It was definitely the biggest question every cultivator currently had on their minds.

Then again, the powers that Lu Xuan displayed against the pope were still enough to make a lot of them breathe a sigh of relief.

That was because both the pope and the two-winged angel were just too headstrong with their approach; they wanted every single one of them to submit before the eyes of the public.

Lu Xuan was also quite headstrong himself, but what he did before made him look like a harmless small animal when compared to the other two.

Despite how dangerous Lu Xuan truly was, they knew well enough that anyone he targeted would not be in too much danger as long as they steered clear of his way. This didn’t apply to the Roman Curia; that religious organization would go on to stir up trouble with them, regardless of what the others thought and did.

Before this, none of them had any way of resisting the Roman Curia at all. Despite some among the representatives of cultivation forces having their own trump cards, the aforementioned trump cards could only serve as last resorts to save their own skins. They were utterly useless to stop the expansion of the Roman Curia’s forces.

At the moment, Lu Xuan was the only one who was capable of resisting the Roman Curia. He was so powerful that he was able to make sure that the Roman Curia was not an overwhelming entity that would end up unifying the entire world.

“Anything you try is futile. You will die today!” The pope continued to roar in anger. While his and Lu Xuan’s seemed to be equally matched, Lu Xuan still managed to send him flying.

Lu Xuan’s powers were proven to be utterly terrifying.
