Chapter 701: Meeting the Powerful Enemy Again
A sword attack directly destroyed a team of Yunlong Village elites!
Lu Xuan was very satisfied with the power of the Geng Metal Sword!
Although he was strong enough to wipe out this team of elites from Yunlong Village on his own, it was far less work than using the sword.
He didn’t even use much effort; he could easily deal out an astonishingly powerful sword attack with the Geng Metal Sword.
If he had this Geng Metal Sword in his hand during the battle against Zhou Sulong, then there would have been no need to plot against him at all. One attack from this Geng Metal Sword would have been enough to deal a heavy blow to Zhou Sulong and force him to a dead end.
Although Lu Xuan’s cultivating realm remained stagnant, his strength had been increased to a higher level over the past few days.
“It’s you!”
Suddenly, there was a cold hum in the distance, and a figure slowly appeared. An old man with red eyebrows wearing black clothes was staring at Lu Xuan.
When the old man had appeared, Lu Xuan felt his hair instantly standing on end.
He felt as if he was in extreme danger. It was as dangerous as when he had fought against the strange snake in the deep sea.
Anyone in the Divine Transformation Realm would’ve been considered amongst the strongest in the entire Holy Sun Continent.
Lu Xuan immediately realized that this terrifying existence was the one who had made a move against him earlier, almost destroying his Auric Flower.
At the time, he had immediately hidden within the secret land of Tianhai to avoid being hunted by this person. Obviously, this person had sensed that something was wrong. Thus, he lurked around here waiting for Lu Xuan to reappear.
Even if he met an expert in the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm, Lu Xuan was currently strong enough to fight them if it ever came to that.
When standing this kind of terrifying existence who was in the ninth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm, however, even Lu Xuan was no match for him.
Lu Xuan’s first reaction was to open the secret land of Tianhai and avoid the old man.
The white jade sword hanging from his waist bust out a series of white lights as the s.p.a.ce around him fluctuated. He wanted to directly escape into the secret land of Tianhai.
The old man in dark clothes hummed coldly and said, “You still want to escape from me? It’s far too late to do that!”
As the old man waved his hand, immediately an ancient bronze clock instantly appeared above his head. The ancient bronze clock was rusty and looked very simple, with some unknown patterns.
It was hard to tell what kind of weapon it was, but it made bell sounds, that transformed into sound waves that instantly locked onto the surrounding s.p.a.ce.
Lu Xuan tried to open the secret land of Tianhai but was instantly interrupted.
“This ancient clock…” Lu Xuan was also somewhat surprised. The level of the secret land of Tianhai was very high. It was almost impossible to interrupt the opening of this secret land.
The law of this ancient bronze clock actually went as far as controlling s.p.a.ce.
This is a very high-leveled law. It could’ve pretty much been considered as one of the basic laws of the universe that made up the entire world. This was the so-called universe: a combination of time and s.p.a.ce.
One could’ve been imagined how high the level of the law was when it came to a power item of s.p.a.ce magic.
Occasionally, the law would’ve appeared on a low-leveled power item, but it would’ve been unintentionally formed. Its value was also significantly higher than ordinary power items.
One could’ve said that it was priceless. It may have not even been possible to exchange 100 power items of the same level for one power item that had s.p.a.ce magic.
Right now, not even Lu Xuan could refine this kind of power item with s.p.a.ce magic.
Because of this, Lu Xuan was surprised that the old man possessed a power item with s.p.a.ce magic.
Upon seeing Lu Xuan’s surprised expression, the old man with red eyebrows and black clothes wore a slightly smug look on his face. He liked seeing when other people were surprised, shocked, or scared.
Back then, he had worked so hard for this ancient bronze clock that he narrowly escaped death to get it from an ancient battlefield. He did not know when the artifact was created, as it was very dilapidated and rusty. There were even cracks on the inside of the bronze clock. Therefore, it had fallen to the level of a spiritual weapon in the Divine Transformation Realm.
However, there was no doubt that this was still the strongest of all the spiritual weapons. There were only one or two weapons in the entirety of the Divine Blood Church that could’ve been compared to the clock.
Using this ancient bronze clock, the old man was able to stabilize himself and fight his way through the fierce compet.i.tions among the many experts within the Divine Blood Church. That was how he became one of the top experts of the Divine Blood Church.
“Do you want to open that secret land to escape? It seems that both the secret land and my nephew’s life have fallen into your hands!”
The old man in black clothes looked at Lu Xuan coldly, thinking that Lu Xuan killed Zhou Sulong.
Similar to what Lu Xuan thought, Zhou Sulong had a very high position within the Divine Blood Church. He was essentially one of the pillars of the next generation who belonged to one of the Sacred Sons of the Divine Blood Church.
This was exactly why he was allowed to enter the secret land of Tianhai on his own. This was one of the endeavors reserved for him.
For the Sacred Sons of different sects like him, who had long been scheduled to be the next generation of leaders, the elders of the sects would set aside their endeavors and plan the Sacred Sons’ routes for cultivation and growth. As long as the Sacred Sons followed the route, their level of cultivation would naturally increase by a longshot.
These sects relied on such means to cultivate the experts between generations.
This secret land of Tianhai, it was a very important place for Zhou Sulong to grow. Not only had Lu Xuan killed him, but the secret land had also fallen into his killer’s hands.
At the thought of this, the old man with red eyebrows wearing black clothes could not suppress his murderous intent. However, Zhou Sulong was now dead. the secret land of Tianhai, which had been booked for the sects, no longer had an owner. These made the old man want to act on his murderous desires.
The old man saw Lu Xuan as nothing more than a man on the brink of death.
He was right to think such things; the secret land of Tianhai would soon be without an owner!
“Yes, he has already died at my hands!”
Seeing that there was no way to open the secret land of Tianhai, Lu Xuan immediately calmed down. With all the panic in his heart gone, he began to think.
All kinds of thoughts ran through his head!
“How bold of you to even dare to kill a man of my Divine Blood Church. Still, this is perfect. If it hadn’t been for you, I wouldn’t have this chance to get the secret land!”
The old man wore a greedy look on his face.
Obviously, Lu Xuan had paved the way for him. The law of the jungle applied to the Divine Blood Church; it was common for people within the church to compete with each other for the rest of the inheritance.
However, the old man originally had no intentions of getting involved with Zhou Sulong’s endeavors, which had been laid down in the sect more than a decade ago. The old man had not dared to challenge this order.
Now that Lu Xuan had killed Zhou Sulong, however, the old man could kill Lu Xuan. This secret land of Tianhai would then be his reward. This was very reasonable.
There were no problems with how he saw the current situation!
