Chapter 482 - 5: Defeating the Enemy

Chapter 482: Chapter 5: Defeating the Enemy

A Tier Two Top Level Skill, cultivated to Perfection, now gathered on Shen Changchuan’s fingertip!

With a casual wave of his hand, a brilliant, jade-green light shot from his fingertip, streaking through the void. Its trajectory was natural and fluid, moving with sublime, untraceable grace.

At first,

the gleam of light from his fingertip was only four inches long, but in the blink of an eye, it exploded to a length of several hundred yards!

Then,

in an instant, the sword light became like a bolt of Thunder tearing through the sky, carrying an unstoppable sharpness as it slashed straight toward Lu Haoxuan’s vast, mountain-like fist shadow!

Wherever the sword light passed, the void itself seemed to tear, emitting a piercing shriek!

The Spiritual Qi in the sky surged wildly, as if parting to make way for the blade!

BOOOOOOM!!!

In an instant, the sword light and the fist shadow collided high in the heavens, erupting with an earth-shattering boom!

Terrifying waves of energy swept out in all directions, blasting the clouds in the sky apart!

The earth shook violently, and the trees on the mountains buckled and snapped under the force of the resulting gale!

A curtain of light rose around Dawan Village. The Mountain Protection Array flared to life under the impact, resisting the terrifying storm that swept across the land!

This was the Mountain Protection Array at work.

If not for this,

Dawan Village would have likely suffered devastating losses!

At this moment, however, everyone’s gaze was fixed on the sky!

The violent collision had finally decided a victor!

The boundless Sword Momentum, though hindered for a moment by the vast fist shadow, was not negated. Instead, with the force of a raging storm, it shattered Lu Haoxuan’s fist shadow, tore across hundreds of feet of empty sky, and slashed viciously toward Lu Haoxuan!

"What?!"

Lu Haoxuan’s expression changed dramatically!

He had thrown that punch with all his might and resentment, holding nothing back. ℴℴ𝘮

And yet, it had been effortlessly torn apart in a head-on clash?!

Lu Haoxuan couldn’t believe it.

But whether he believed it or not,

the monstrous Sword Momentum had already swept across the sky and was now bearing down on him with an incomparably ferocious edge!

At this moment of crisis,

he had no time to think. He hastily summoned an ancient bronze mirror, holding it up before him.

CLANG!

The sword light struck the bronze mirror, producing a deafening clang of metal on metal.

Countless cracks instantly appeared on the mirror’s surface, and then, with a CRACK, it completely shattered!

The aftershock of the sword light slammed into Lu Haoxuan, sending him flying back hundreds of yards. He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face instantly turning as pale as paper!

"A Perfection Tier Two Top Level Skill?"

At this very moment,

Lu Haoxuan was an utterly wretched sight, his hair disheveled and his body dripping with blood.

He stared in shock at the cold and indifferent Shen Changchuan floating in the void,

unable to believe his eyes!

’A Tier Two Top Level Skill is no ordinary technique.’

’Mastering such a Technique, even in the Yuqing Immortal Sect, is enough to reign supreme among those at the Soul Emergence Eighth Layer Realm!’

’And as for cultivating such a Skill to Perfection...’

’...that would allow one to rank among the first-class experts even in the Soul Emergence Ninth Layer Realm!’

’But how is that possible?!’

"Impossible!"

"With a mere Soul Emergence Seventh Layer Realm Cultivation, how could he possibly cultivate a Tier Two Top Level Skill to the point of Perfection?!"

Lu Haoxuan staggered to his feet, his chest heaving violently. Blood trickling from the corner of his mouth stained his robes.

’To be able to defeat and severely injure me with a single sword strike,’

’especially when he’s only at the mere Soul Emergence Seventh Layer Realm,’

’only a Perfection Tier Two Top Level Skill could possibly do that!’

’That sword strike...’

’...it definitely had the might that only a Perfection Tier Two Skill could possess!’

Lu Haoxuan stared intently at the distant Shen Changchuan.

’To have mastered a Perfection Tier Two Top Level Skill while at Soul Emergence Seventh Layer...’

’...even the Daoists within the Immortal Sect are merely at this level, right?!’

’But what kind of people are the Daoists?’

’And who is this Shen Changchuan?’

’How could he possibly be worthy of being compared to a Daoist?!’

But,

no matter how unwilling he was to accept it,

reality would not change in the slightest!

"You talk a big game, but your strength is disappointing."

In the void not far away,

Shen Changchuan commented faintly.

That nonchalant expression made the arrogant Lu Haoxuan’s face flush red.

Especially when he remembered the threats he’d made earlier, the contrast with his current predicament made him want to crawl into a hole and die from shame!

He had lost!

A crushing defeat!

’Not only did I lose to someone I considered an ignorant nobody from some rural Barbaric Land,’

’I couldn’t even withstand a single one of his sword strikes!’

At this moment, the unwillingness to accept defeat and the humiliation intertwined within him, nearly driving Lu Haoxuan mad!

He wanted to say something, as if to make an excuse for himself.

However,

before he could get a word out,

Shen Changchuan had no intention of giving him a chance to spout any nonsense.

WHOOSH!

Shen Changchuan’s figure suddenly vanished from the void, reappearing behind Lu Haoxuan in the next instant.

Lu Haoxuan’s expression changed dramatically!

He wanted to dodge, but his severe injuries made his movements sluggish.

"Go down!"

Shen Changchuan slapped down with one hand, his Magical Power condensing into a colossal palm.

BAM!

Lu Haoxuan took a heavy blow,

and his entire body plummeted from the sky like a cannonball, crashing onto a nearby mountain peak.

Accompanied by a deafening rumble,

the entire mountain peak was smashed to pieces.

Smoke and dust billowed, filling the sky.

Shen Changchuan paid it no mind.

His figure descended directly into the billowing dust.

A moment later,

he flew back out, holding the completely unconscious body of Lu Haoxuan, who looked like a broken ragdoll.

He ignored the many shocked and stunned gazes from within Dawan Village.

Shen Changchuan glanced over at Du Fucheng.

The moment their eyes met,

one could clearly see Du Fucheng’s body tremble as if startled.

Shen Changchuan said nothing.

Carrying Lu Haoxuan, he flew deep into the Back Mountain of Dawan Village.

Not far away,

Du Fucheng’s face was pale, and he could feel his hands and feet trembling.

He didn’t know what Shen Changchuan’s final glance at him meant.

After a moment of frantic internal struggle,

he ultimately didn’t dare to flee.

His figure descended and he entered Dawan Village....awaiting the "judgment" of that Shen Changchuan.

And at the same time,

on the other side,

Han Qinhu, who had just had a brush with death, watched as Shen Changchuan easily suppressed Lu Haoxuan and carried him back to the Back Mountain.

He finally recovered from his earlier state of shock.

Then,

he forced himself to pull it together

and began to deal with the aftermath.

....

The battle

had finally come to a close.

Lu Haoxuan from the Immortal Sect had come in a hurry and was defeated just as quickly.

He had rapidly made the transition from overbearing arrogance to helpless prisoner.

On the surface, everything seemed to be over.

But in reality,

the storm in the shadows was only just beginning to brew.

Just as Han Qinhu was dealing with the aftermath,

a few individuals within Dawan Village joined a group of frightened Cultivators and quietly departed.

And after they were far away from the Dawan Village area,

one after another, secretive Communication Talismans

began to fly out in all directions.
