Chapter 277 – So Unbelievably Powerful that He shocked the World

It was at that moment that he came to realize why Lu Xuan remained completely unfazed by that the threats the few of them threw at him.
What Lu Xuan did made it look like a grown-up was beating children up. There was one swing of the sword for each of them.
It could even be said that they fell one by one before Lu Xuan used anywhere near his full power.
What just happened looked like a joke to him.
Their delusions of thinking that they were able to take out Lu Xuan looked like some ridiculous joke.
Lu Xuan had been cutting down both Zhu Wuzhi the Sword Specter and Young Master Gui so quickly that he was unable to properly react to what just happened.
He kept his hands to himself when he was able to attack.
At that moment, however, he no longer even had the courage to attack. That alone was pathetic enough.
The entire place was dead silent at that moment.
Everyone present was stunned.
Everyone’s minds became blank at that moment. It was as if they were all completely stunned by the massacre Lu Xuan brought upon those two.
He actually managed to cut Young Master Gui and Zhu Wuzhi down with just a single swing of the sword for each?
So this was how capable Lu Xuan—the man who was almost known to be the one who reigned supreme all over the world—was? He definitely lived up to his reputation.
He was already so damn powerful a year ago. To imagine what kind of height his power had reached by this point… It was just unbelievable.
It seemed like Lu Xuan didn’t get so powerful a year ago for nothing, then.
Countless thoughts flashed through the minds of the spectators, yet no one dared to voice any of those thoughts.
Everyone was shaking by then, fearing that Lu Xuan might actually get a little too trigger-happy and go on to take out all of them.
They had utterly no doubt that Lu Xuan had the power and the guts to pull off something like that.
He was able to kill even the likes of Young Master Gui and Zhu Wuzhi the Sword Specter, after all. That meant that he would have had no problem taking out small fries like them.
“Well then, any intentions of attacking now?” Lu Xuan turned around to face Li Zihan, smiling as he asked.
Li Zihan was shaking all over by then, feeling as if the reaper was walking up to him.
“N-Not actually, Mr. Lu. I-I was just getting blinded by what those two said earlier.”
Li Zihan had no idea why he said what he just said. He sounded like a pathetic embarrassment, but he had no other choice. If he were to say anything else that sounded out of place, he knew, without a doubt, that Lu Xuan would have just taken his head without a second thought.
“That’s right.” Lu Xuan nodded, satisfied. “You young people should dedicate yourselves to your training, instead of sticking your nose into other people’s mess. You should just train hard and turn a deaf ear to rumors and whatnot. You see it now? Don’t you think that you’re now getting your *ss handed to you before you refuse to listen to your elders, eh?”
“Y-Yes, indeed, indeed. You are indeed correct, Mr. Lu,” Li Zihan answered right away. He was drenched in a cold sweat as he continued to shake.
Everyone else present felt the scene to look very, very bizarre at the moment.
Lu Xuan was the one who looked a lot younger than Li Zihan, to begin with. Yet it appeared, at the moment, that the former was teaching the latter a lesson like an elder would to a junior.
Yet, all of them felt the bizarre-looking scene to be very, very apt somehow instead.
Lu Xuan then nodded satisfyingly after that, before turning around and leaving the place.
He had no intention of killing Li Zihan, as he saw the extra action to be pointless. If it had not been for Zhu Wuzhi insisting on getting in his way, he might not have killed Zhu Wuzhi.
All those people acted as if they were big shots of some kind, yet in Lu Xuan’s eyes, they were just some insignificant, nameless faces.
It did not take him more than a thought to go about killing someone.
The one he intended to kill was just Young Master Gui and no one else, doing so only to tie up loose ends.
The place finally and gradually became rowdy again sometime after Lu Xuan left.
“That was scary. Now I finally know why he was able to reign supreme all over the world a year ago.”
“He still is the best of the best, even right now!”
“Is he even still at the Celestial Realm? Why do I get the feeling that he became something else altogether? It felt like comparing a matchlock to a Gatling gun, and guns not even of the same era and the same capabilities, man!”
“Gosh, so powerful. Such a walking cheat, indeed.”
“How are things different now from a year ago, eh? Everyone thought everything changed within a year, yet Lu Xuan taught everyone a lesson with his own sheer power. He made everyone realize that things were the same as far as he was concerned. He can just kill anyone he felt like killing. He killed Celestials like dogs a year ago, and he is still capable of doing so now—killing Celestials like killing dogs!”
Everyone was getting really unsettled. Some turned to look at Li Zihan, who behaved extremely like a pushover earlier, yet no one felt that he had done anything wrong.
If it had been any of them, they would have probably behaved even more meekly, getting to their knees before Lu Xuan at the first opportunity to do so.
They were able to completely understand how he felt, as it was almost like they witnessed with their own eyes, how easily Lu Xuan disposed of Zhu Wuzhi and Young Master Gui after all.
They did not even dare to breathe out loud as they witnessed what had just happened, fearing that they would catch Lu Xuan’s attention. He would possibly kill them out of annoyance.
They did not even dare to move a muscle.
Due to how they behaved earlier, they naturally would not look down on Li Zihan, who was utterly frightened by what just happened.
Lu Xuna was not a man; he was a monster.
There was only one thought that everyone shared: My god, that was f*cking scary!
The news of Lu Xuan crashing the Convention of Geniuses and going on a killing spree, cutting down two notable geniuses in the northwestern region, spread all over the internet almost right away.
The phenomenon felt like an atomic bomb had been detonated on the internet.
The influence of the cultivators over common folks grew over the course of the past year. Many came to learn that there had been a lone cultivator a year ago, who had almost beat every single notable cultivator in the world through his very own powers alone.
That man killed the legendary Count Dracula.
He was lauded as a legend among legends.
Many felt it to be a pity that they would never be able to see Lu Xuan again.
No one knew that Lu Xuan actually appeared yet again under such circumstances.
The impact was even more profound among the cultivators, as it felt like an earthquake of 8.0 Richter Scale just went off among the circle in a single night.
Lu Xuan was widely declared dead a year ago, and many came to gradually accept that was what happened to that goliath of a human over the course of the past year or so.
Yet, said goliath actually returned.
Many recalled the fear of being overwhelmed by him.
The man who killed any he thought of killing, the man who brought down clans and sects single-handedly as he saw fit.
That brimming aura of a man making good on his bizarre claims still struck intense fear into many sects and rendered many petrified when they came to think of it.
The reemergence of Lu Xuan brought about a gift in the form of the deaths of two beings at the Celestial Realm in order to announce his return to the whole wide world.
It was especially so to the Huashan Sect.
Their first and eldest disciple, Zhu Wuzhi the Sword Specter, was easily killed like a dog. His head had been sent flying with a swing of the sword.
The Huashan Sect was first so shocked that they kept silent for a while before coming to burn with intense fury.
