Chapter 518 - Taking Everyone Out (1/2)
Although they called themselves elites and geniuses, they were still normal humans in the end. That was what kept them from reaching Lu Xuan’s level of skill.
That Dragon-snaring Lasso was a kind of spell that they all would have had trouble even trying to wield. Being able to wield the spell so effortlessly like Lu Xuan was doing now was simply out of question.
His power reserves were practically endless. He showed no signs of exhaustion even after taking down so many of them consecutively.
It was also obvious that Lu Xuan did not consider the Dragon-snaring Lasso, which struck fear into their hearts, to be a trump card. The most terrifying thing about it at the moment was how utterly helpless they were against something that the enemy considered a move that was commonly used.
Such a level of insane power reserves reminded them all of Lu Shanshan, who had demonstrated what she was capable of before.
Maybe that wasn’t the case. To be more precise, Lu Shanshan was but a weaker knock-off of Lu Xuan.
While Lu Shanshan was not nearly as terrifying as Lu Xuan, both siblings were extremely similar at fundamental levels.
Whack!
Lu Xuan whipped the Dragon-snaring Lasso that he just finished conjuring in his hand. The golden dragon scales on the whip were tight and intricate, and the weapon seemed to be raging with the might of dragons.
This spell was most suitable for binding someone up.
The more realistic the scales on the Dragon-snaring Lasso were, the more powerful it was. The raging power emanating from the spell was an undeniable testament to Lu Xuan’s extreme mastery of that spell.
It was something that could have only come from gaining ultimate mastery of that one spell.
The Dragon-snaring Lasso brought about yet another illusion of a crack on the ground.
Lu Xuan eyed the remaining people high in the sky coldly and said, “So, are you lot gonna surrender yourselves, or do I need to bring you all down one by one?”
Some of their expressions changed in response. The aloof, holier-than-thou demeanor on Lu Xuan was unmistakable. It was as if he never saw them to be worthy adversaries to begin with.
What they were the most exasperated about, however, was how their flurry of attacks did not even manage to touch Lu Xuan.
Then again, Lu Xuan’s attitude was still enough to thoroughly infuriate them all. They all acknowledged just how terrifying Lu Xuan’s powers were, which actually made him no different from those monsters that they knew of. Even then, those monsters still needed to treat them courteously; they wouldn’t have seen them as mere animals like Lu Xuan did.
“You’re indeed insolent, but I don’t think that you’d have more hands to spare.”
At that moment, a terrifying attack descended from the sky. In the blink of an eye, a dagger appeared right behind Lu Xuan.
In other words, the attack was seen before it was heard.
Everyone saw how that dagger struck Lu Xuan right away.
Even so, everyone also saw how the dagger, which consisted of a potent poison, began to shatter immediately afterward.
That dagger did not manage to break his defense. While the attack did catch him off-guard, it was still fended off by that Shield of Great Aether, which took the form of a dragon coiled around him.
That blade hit the golden dragon conjured by Spiritual Aether that remained around Lu Xuan, yet it was unable to even put the slightest dent in its scales.
Lu Xuan stomped onto the ground right away in retaliation. A raging shockwave then swept all over the place right there and then.
Someone was quickly outed by that shockwave.
It was only then that everyone finally realized that someone had been lurking in the shadows. This person was trained in the cultivation arts of assassins.
Even though they had been around for so long, nobody had detected that person’s presence.
“How is this possible?”
That assassin was masked, exposing only his eyes which flickered with astonishment. That suggested that he was utterly shocked by the fact that Lu Xuan was actually able to break his attack so easily.
