Out of the two intertwining bodies, the female was none other than Dai Yingying—the once-best friend of Lin Miaoyi. Nevertheless, the male was no stranger to Lu Xuan either.
Seemingly around the age of 27 or 28, he was a suave-looking man with a slightly darkened expression. He was Luo Kun from the Luo family, as well as the mastermind who killed Lu Xuan’s family in his past life.
Luo Kun gathered Dai Yingying in his arms and asked, “Haven’t you gained Miaoyi’s trust?”
Dai Yingying stiffened for a second before replying, “Not yet. You should know how Miaoyi usually is, that character of hers. Regaining her trust after losing it is simply too difficult. I can’t even get a chance to see her!”
“That’s unacceptable. You must think of another way to get near her. She plays a huge role in my plans!” Dai Yingying’s excuse was immediately shot down by Luo Kun.
“It’s all the fault of that wretched Lu Xuan! Can’t you send someone to kill him already?” Dai Yingying sulked cutely. She remembered how Lu Xuan had humiliated her and could hardly contain the fury in her heart.
“Don’t worry. Consider him dead, as that is what he will soon be. It is just a matter of time. While Miaoyi can shield him for the time being, I don’t believe that she can protect him forever!” Luo Kun sneered coldly. “He is just a nobody, and there’s nothing to fear. When I finally become the god of the new era, squishing a commoner like him would be as simple as squishing an ant!”
Luo Kun had never taken Lu Xuan seriously, even since the beginning. If not for his fear of tempting the wrath and retaliation of Lin Miaoyi, he would have made a move on Lu Xuan a long time ago.
The two of them got dressed only to find a masked man wearing a black trench coat sitting on one of the living room sofas. The mysterious intruder sank into the couch as he leisurely observed Luo Kun and Dai Yingying.
“I assume that you’re done? Great timing. Let us settle some scores between us!” Lu Xuan said casually.
The two of them were immediately startled. Especially Luo Kun, who was absolutely horrified. When did this man appear? There was no sign at all.
Luo Kun was the most shocked of the two. As Dai Yingying was an ordinary human, it was only natural for her to have weaker senses. However, he was different. As a level four Awakened, even if he wasn’t the most powerful, out of all who were currently awakened, he was definitely up there with the top of the line bigwigs.
Naturally, the senses of an Awakened would be far more perceptive than that of an average human. However, even he could not identify how the mysterious man managed to break in.
“Men!” Luo Kun quickly hollered. However, there was no response at all.
“Save the yelling. They have gone ahead before you into the pits of hell!” Lu Xuan said calmly.
“What? Who in the world are you?” Luo Kun regained his composure now that things had come to this. He knew that the one standing in front of him must be no ordinary man.
As he moved, he tried to make his way to the other end of the couch.
However, before he could even budge, there was the high-pitched sound of something piercing the air. Luo Kun let out a blood-curdling screech. Something had punctured one of his arms clean through, and blood soon spilled everywhere.
A piece of rock impaled the wall.
“Looking for a gun?” Lu Xuan grinned. “Did you think that I wouldn’t know what you’re thinking?”
Indeed, Luo Kun never dreamed that Lu Xuan would guess his intentions right away. He quickly paled and broke into a cold sweat.
Lu Xuan eyeballed Luo Kun, who was right in front of him. Compared to the Luo Kun he faced in his previous life, the current Luo Kun was still wet behind the ears.
Not only were both Luo Kuns differ vastly in cultivation levels, but the current Luo Kun was still thinking like an ordinary human. Even when armed with his cultivation, his first reaction upon seeing an enemy was to grab a gun, similar to a non-cultivating regular human.
If it had been the Luo Kun of his past life, that Luo Kun would have pounced at him in the very first minute.
“Who are you exactly?” Luo Kun howled, sounding like an injured wild beast.
Dai Yingying, who was standing beside him, was scared out of her wits. After all, she was, in the end, a regular human.
“Weren’t you guys just discussing how you would kill me? Did you guys forget all of that already?” Lu Xuan laughed out loud.
“You’re Lu Xuan? That’s impossible!” Before Luo Kun could say anything, Dai Yingying was the first to exclaim in disbelief.
She could not believe that the man in front of her eyes was, in fact, Lu Xuan. It was beyond her.
At that moment, however, Luo Kun was the one who managed to calm down. “In that case, was the man I’ve sent before but not Miaoyi, but you?”
Luo Kun had always suspected that Lin Miaoyi killed the man he sent and that it was a warning for him. That was why he was apprehensive and ceased creating trouble for Lu Xuan.
He had also investigated Lu Xuan. He was just an ordinary guy and did not have anything to do with their circle. He didn’t have the capabilities to kill the man he sent, and so Luo Kun concluded that only Lin Miaoyi would have the ability and motive to kill the assassin.
Only then did he realize that this man, whom he had brushed off since the very start, was the one who killed his right-hand man.
“I sure misjudged you!” Luo Kun’s eyes were icy as they glared fiercely at Lu Xuan. “I had thought that you are just an ordinary human, but I now see that you are an Awakened as well. There is no need for the Awakened to fight to the death. When the new era arrives, we would all be the gods of the new era!”
He tried to convince Lu Xuan to let him off. Lu Xuan smirked disdainfully. Luo Kun hasn’t changed much from his past like, it seemed. Lu Xuan immediately remembered the smugness of the old Luo Kun.
“Hahahaha! You? The god of the new era?” Lu Xuan laughed hysterically. “You haven’t changed for sure. But that’s fine. Getting to kill you again is the best!”
“What fo you mean?” Luo Kun was a little confused by what Lu Xuan meant.
Lu Xuan scoffed icily and said no more. His figure blurred. Like a Great Roc spreading its wings, he leaped up and swept down swiftly towards Luo Kun, and within seconds, he had swooped right in front of him.
At the same time, Luo Kun was ready with his attack. He opened his mouth and immediately let out an air cannon.
If it were any other humans or even a martial grandmaster, a direct hit would be fatal.
That was also what Luo Kun had been planning all along.
However, Lu Xuan knew him too well. He immediately returned a palm strike, shattering the air cannon right then and there.
“That’s impossible!”
Luo Kun never imagined that something like that could ever happen. The power of his air cannon was comparable to a bullet.
And Lu Xuan had shattered it with a punch, just like that.
Meanwhile, Lu Xuan’s next flurry of attacks had snuck up like a shadow on Luo Kun. He landed a direct strike on Luo Kun’s chest.
Bam!
Luo Kun was blasted through the air and landed heavily on the couch. There was not even a twitch as blood flowed down the corners of his lips. All of his internal organs had been reduced to nothingness by the sheer power of Lu Xuan’s dominating inner strength.
“Ahh! Murder!”
Dai Yingying finally snapped to her senses upon seeing such a scene. She screamed in utter horror.
However, the very next instant, she had shut up as well. Lu Xuan had killed her with a single strike as well, no different from how he had slain Luo Kun.
From the start till the end, Lu Xuan was calm and indifferent. He had long gotten used to killing. Any discomfort would have been nothing but a relic of a long, distant past.
The feeling of getting to kill Luo Kun once again was incredible. As for Dai Yingying, she was just an extra person to kill. From the moment she instigated, she had deserved death.
