This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome - Chapter 337
Chapter 337: The Insignificant Ones Must Always Know their Place
To everyone’s surprise, Lu Xuan just grabbed and crushed that sword of light coming down on him as if it were nothing.
Everyone was utterly dumbfounded as they fixed their gaze at the scene unfolding before their eyes.
All of them looked like they had just seen a ghost or something.
‘Was Lu Xuan unarmed?!’
They all saw that instead of using his Shield of Vigor to defend himself, Lu Xuan took the attack barehanded.
That was what truly frightened them.
Arthur’s power had already hit its peak by the time he finished reciting the eight knightly virtues. His level of power surpassed even that of the crone that Lu Xuan had slain a while ago. He truly was among the best of the people of the Airborne Realm.
If Lu Xuan had yet to make a breakthrough and stayed just as he was before, he probably would not have dared to take the attack barehanded like that.
Unfortunately for them, Lu Xuan had made a breakthrough into the Divine Treasure Realm that allowed a terrifying layer of protection to instantly form on his skin. With that, he was daring enough to even take incoming missiles barehanded.
A sword attack like that was nothing compared to that.
For him, it was something hardly worth even sweating over.
“How is this possible?” Arthur, whose faith was usually unshakeable, felt as if his faith was about to crumble right there and then.
He was the deputy commander of the Royal Knights, an organization of Britain that currently had its members disagreeing with the Holy See. One side consisted of those from the Protestant faith, while the other possessed those who were Roman Catholic.
Despite their differences, the fact that they all believed in God did not change.
“How foolish and shallow.”
That was all Lu Xuan commented before bringing his sword down.
His attack immediately cleaved right through Arthur’s golden light. Once the attack hit, there was no doubt that Arthur was then cut in half.
Despite being from the Airborne Realm, none of them had been able to take a single hit from Lu Xuan. That fact itself was more than frightening to them all.
Lu Xuan had cut down every last one of them, each with only a single strike.
Something like this had never happened before.
Cultivators from all over the world who were watching the battle live were thoroughly shocked to the core.
There was no doubt that those from the Airborne Realm were the most powerful of all cultivators in the current era.
Any cultivation force would have needed to have at least one Airborne Realm being taking charge before they could be recognized as one of the best out there.
Even though such figures were lauded as one of the best, they remained utterly helpless when taking on Lu Xuan as he cut each of them down with one strike.
The entirety of the US was rendered completely silent. Even the Americans who yelled about wanting to see Lu Xuan dead were all left speechless as if they were witnessing a living legend at work.
Nobody was able to make a sound right there and then.
The US, as a whole, was more receptive to the restoration of spirit qi when compared to Huaxia. A lot of cultivators and Awakened ones went on to all manner of shows, even appearing on commercials and so on.
As such, the idea that they knew nothing about cultivators at all was false.
It was especially so with the case of those from the Airborne Realm. They all knew that those beings were terrifying monsters who could essentially act as one-man armies.
Having three of such beings joining hands would allow them to easily overthrow a country’s ruling regime. Despite being a powerful nation, the US was still required to show respect to such beings.
Yet, Lu Xuan went on to easily kill such monsters as if they were mere flies.
If Lu Xuan’s act of killing the President of the United States of America was an act showcasing his lack of care for authorities, the fact that he managed to cut down three of such terrifying beings in mere moments proved to everyone that he definitely had what it took to do so.
No one but he dared to make a move against the President of the United States of America.
There were easily hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world who wanted to see the President of the United States of America dead. Compared to the people before him, Lu Xuan was but a faceless nobody.
Even so, he proved through his actions that he was truly the best amongst them.
Many came to see him as someone who was definitely capable of taking out any who dare to cross him without hesitation.
Several other people saw him as an utter criminal who did not know his place.
Lu Xuan was not even America, to begin with. Nevertheless, several people viewed him as a treasonous criminal.
It was especially so given that many saw the US as the greatest symbol of freedom.
As such, the President of the United States of America was seen as the fire residing in such a beacon.
What Lu Xuan did at the moment was tantamount to snuffing out such a beacon; many people saw such a crime to be an unforgivable one.
Many believed that he should have just rolled over and kicked the bucket when the president bombed him with a nuclear missile.
They saw no sense in him rebelling.
They believed that being able to die for the sake of the symbol of freedom was an honor like no other. Rhen again, it was clear that it was an honor reserved for others, an honor they neither saw themselves fit for nor wanted.
Such people thought, ‘I shall live and cheer for the symbol of freedom, and rake lots of riches for my actions!’
Except for such dimwits who were still yelling about, most of the world was still rendered dead from fear.
Everyone from the north pole to the south pole was rendered utterly shocked, all of their jaws left agape.
Back in Longhu Mountain…
Zhang Fashan watched the battle live with his mouth agape as well, looking as if he had just seen a ghost.
“Oh great, a true dragon actually emerged from shallow waters. Back in our times, someone like that would have been deemed the equal of the likes of Bodhidharma, Lu Dongbin, and Zhang Sanfeng.”
Zhang Fashan observed Lu Xuan’s actions closely. While common people were still reeling in shock at how Lu Xuan managed to easily kill Airborne Realm cultivators, he instead decided to think about what his actions would mean.
Based on everything that he had just witnessed, he managed to vaguely guess at Lu Xuan’s current actual level.
It was extremely likely that Lu Xuan had reached the legendary Divine Treasure Realm; there was no way he would not have known about it.
After all, he had already been there once.
However, there was simply no way for him to reach the realm anymore in his current state.
He deemed it utterly impossible for someone not from the Divine Treasure Realm to pull off what Lu Xuan just did.
Regarding Zhang Fashan’s current level of power that he managed to restore himself to, it enabled him to simultaneously take on Watanabe Kenjiro, Arthur, and the Mayan shaman and still emerge in a standstill. That was the most that someone from the Airborne Realm was able to pull off.
His powers had more than doubled compared to the time when he first met Lu Xuan. His powers recovered at breakneck speeds when the world stopped limiting the powers of Airborne Realm beings, enabling him to easily restore himself to the peak of Airborne Realm.
Even so, he was well aware that he was unable to do what Lu Xuan just did; Zhang Fashan was incapable of killing all three Airborne Realm fighters as if it were a mere walk in the park.
“He truly is a god among mortals!”
Many in Japan were watching the live stream as well.
Several Japanese people were cheering when Watanabe Kenjiro, the Sword Saint of Japan, made his appearance. However, that walking pride of theirs was unable to even take on one single attack when facing off against Lu Xuan.
“How could this be? Is the swordsmanship of the Great Empire of Japan so utterly powerless?”
Many came to have doubts about several things. Watanabe Kenjiro was a renowned fighter back in Japan, yet he was so utterly helpless when facing off against someone from Huaxia.
Even among the younger generation of the Japanese youth who were basically seen to be useless due to otaku culture being so prevalent, it was nonetheless the most insulting thing they could think of.
One way or another, the Japanese cultivators had nothing to say about it.
As a nation, Huaxia had been rendered quite unstable from the past several centuries. Despite that, Huaxian cultivators were known to be the dominating bunch since ancient times.
They were without a doubt a force to be reckoned with in East Asia, and even the world as a whole.
Huaxian cultivators were able to do as they pleased.
They were able to beat anyone up that they wanted to. That was how things had been since ancient times, and there had never been an exception.
The Huaxian cultivators were so powerful that they managed to stay on top of things, even when the nation of Huaxia was at its weakest.
There was still the possibility of Zhang Sanfeng going on a killing spree and taking out the shamans and the Lama, even when Huaxia was practically at its weakest as a nation.
The cultivators from Japan had always paled in comparison to their counterparts in Huaxia.
In reality, all nations in East Asia paled in comparison to Huaxia when it came to cultivation.
It was as if they were living nails being mercilessly hammered to death if they stuck out.
