Chapter 713: Demonstrating His Might, Cutting Down Gongsun Yan with a Single Slash

Only then did Lu Xuan learn why someone else aside from him was in the vault.

He knew that the man called Gongsun Yan was probably some genius disciple from the Divine Blood Church who had been permitted to train in the vault.

The way Lu Xuan carelessly went about grabbing anything he could get his hands on had completely alerted that genius disciple.

“Oh well. It’s not like you’ll ever get a chance to wait for someone else from outside to come in. You’d serve well as a practice dummy.”

Gongsun Yan laughed out loud.

“Once I’ve killed you, I’ll head out and kill Zhou Sulong. Hahaha, this will be fun.”

Gongsun Yan’s expression became rather crazed and murderous when he mentioned Zhou Sulong. He had once been defeated by Zhou Sulong. He was probably dedicating himself to make a breakthrough, just to look for trouble with Zhou Sulong.

All Lu Xuan could think was that it was all a coincidence; he never expected to find one of Zhou Sulong’s enemies there solely by coincidence.

Lu Xuan casually said, “I guess you’ve just missed your chance then.”

Gongsun Yan locked his gaze at Lu Xuan as he asked, “What did you say?”

Lu Xuan snickered and answered, “That’s because I’ve killed Zhou Sulong.”

“What? How could it be? Just who the hell are you? How could Zhou Sulong die by your hands?”

Gongsun Yan was in utter disbelief. He had immense hatred for Zhou Sulong, but he also knew just how terrifying that man truly was.

Both of them joined the Divine Blood Church almost at the same time. They had been in a rivalry together for an unbelievably long time. They both fought over 100 times, and Gongsun Yan had lost most of the time. The best that a fight had ever gone for him was fighting Zhou Sulong to a standstill.

Zhou Sulong had also managed to make a breakthrough into the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm before he did. That man had almost killed him. He managed to survive and dedicated himself to training arduously. He had just made a breakthrough into the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm specifically to take on Zhou Sulong and kill the man.

Even so, some unknown person from somewhere simply popped out of nowhere telling him that Zhou Sulong was already dead. Gongsun Yan wasn’t going to simply buy that.

Lu Xuan wore a faint grin as he said, “It doesn’t matter whether or not you believe me. Thinking that you could kill Zhou Sulong at your power level? Keep dreaming.”

Lu Xuan’s level of powers allowed him to easily tell that Zhou Sulong’s powers were far above that of Gongsun Yan.

Gongsun Yan had just made a breakthrough into the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm, yet Zhou Sulong was probably in that tier for quite some time by now.

If Gongsun Yan didn’t run into Lu Xuan and die by Lu Xuan’s hand, he would have probably been beaten to death while he went out to look for trouble with Zhou Sulong anyway.

Being one step ahead was the same as being every step ahead, after all.

It was apparent that Zhou Sulong had been the one to break into Divine Transformation Realm first, which garnered support from the higher-ups of the Divine Blood Church. He could acquire whatever was in the Secret Realm of Tianhai City.

If everything went as planned, he would have probably got to the very peak of the ninth tier of Divine Transformation Realm by the time Zhou Sulong returned. If someone like Gongsun Yan were to look for trouble with someone so formidable, his defeat would have been utterly humiliating. That is, assuming he would’ve even survived the fight in the first place.

Gongsun Yan coldly said, “You truly are trying to get on my nerves, aren’t you? You’re digging your own grave.”

Lu Xuan then continued, “Do I even have a reason to get on your nerves? I’m just telling you the truth. Time’s running out. I’ll deal with you as quickly as I can.”

“Deal with me? What do you think you are?”

As soon as Gongsun Yan finished his line, countless specters of the spear immediately appeared right before Lu Xuan. Every single specter of the spear seemed to be of blood colors. They launched and tore through the air right away.

“It’s the Divine Blood Spear!”

One spear seemed to instantly appear right before Lu Xuan’s eyes, while all the others seemed to have blocked his escape route. That one spear alone managed to close in within three feet from Lu Xuan’s face.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

As multiple attacks hit Lu Xuan, clanging sounds were heard all over the place as sparks flew everywhere.

The Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell was slowly spinning right above Lu Xuan’s head before he knew it, which managed to block all of the incoming attacks with ease.

“That’s Uncle Red-brow’s Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell!” historical

Gongsun Yan backed away after his attacks failed to do any damage. He was able to immediately recognize the bell.

That power item was very renowned among members of the cult.

He seemed to have realized something almost instantly upon seeing the bell being in Lu Xuan’s hand.

The Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell was the red-browed immortal’s main treasure. The man had been working on it for untold amounts of years. There was just no way he would have just lost it somewhere.

There was only one possibility as to why the bell ended up in Lu Xuan’s possession:

Lu Xuan had already killed the red-browed immortal.

After all, that dead man would’ve never just given someone else such a top-notch treasured piece so generously.

Gongsun Yan’s expression shifted drastically. He realized that what Lu Xuan said might have actually been the truth, that Lu Xuan had killed Zhou Sulong.

Furthermore, it was also entirely possible that the red-browed immortal died by Lu Xuan’s hands as well.

Gongsun Yan was instantly alerted by this. Despite his pompous and brutal behavior, he was far from being an idiot. He immediately realized that Lu Xuan was actually far more dangerous than he initially expected the man to be.

Lu Xuan was an extremely dangerous adversary.

“So, now you realize it, huh? Well, it’s too late now.”

Lu Xuan snorted coldly. The bell above him was already hovering higher, emanating rings of spatial ripples from its body.

Gongsun Yan backed away immediately, trying to evade the bell. He knew that the odds were not in his favor. He was not oblivious to the bell’s powers after all. He learned that even top-notch fighters at the very peak of the Divine Transformation Realm would’ve still had a hard time dealing with it.

It was even more so in his case.

By the time he reacted to it, it was already too late for him, as the bell had frozen right where he stood.

Gongsun Yan kept emitting bursts of blood-colored light, trying to crank his powers up and shake himself free from the bell’s suppression.

However, it became apparent that he still had underestimated the bell’s powers. After having consumed so many power items, the bell had regained a considerable amount of its previous level of powers, which made it far more powerful than when it was in the red-browed immortal’s possession.

Even though Lu Xuan’s powers paled in comparison to those of that dead man, he was still able to bring forth a considerable amount of the bell’s powers.

“Damn, how did things turn out this way?”

Gongsun Yan became flustered right away. A top-grade power item like that could easily serve as a determining factor in deciding a battle’s outcome. He had obviously sensed that Lu Xuan was at a lower level than him. When they actually fought, however, he was unable to even begin to fight the bell’s powers.

Lu Xuan came right before him almost instantly.

‘How fast. When did he get here? How come I didn’t see him earlier?’

Gongsun Yan’s mind went blank as he saw Lu Xuan appearing right before his face.

It was teleportation!

Lu Xuan’s speed became unnervingly high within such a range.

He didn’t pull anything flashy, simply swinging out his sword.

Pfftt!

Bloody mist sprayed as Gongsun Yan was cut in half. All of the barriers and defensive power items on him were cut down by that single swing of the sword.
