This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome Chapter 310 - Killing the Crone

Chapter 310: Killing the Crone

The Crone’s control of the ambient primordial qi was stripped away by Lu Xuan almost instantly. Lu Xuan’s mental powers were focused and solidified to an eerie level. It was to such an extent that the Crone could train for several centuries more, and she would still have no way of winning against Lu Xuan in this regard.

“Some mental powers right there indeed.” Zhang Fashan looked at the two in midair and naturally realized what they were doing.

He was able to tell from the way the primordial qi was being returned to normal and then boiling shortly after that it was an effect of the two wrestling control of the ambient primordial qi from each other.

However, the Crone utterly lost to Lu Xuan in that match as soon as she brought about the challenge.

Initially, he thought that Lu Xuan was unable to win at the control of primordial qi compared to the Crone, judging by how she kept bringing blasts after blasts of her ma.s.sive palm attack, while Lu Xuan simply retaliated using either Golden Dragon’s Claw or his sword aura blasts.

While it was not something apparent to those of Celestial Realm, control of ambient primordial qi was more or less seen as the key deciding if one won or lost at Airborne Realm.

The power an Airborne Realm was able to bring was directly proportionate to their mastery of primordial qi.

At the same time, having superior control of ambient primordial qi also meant that one could, at the same time, weaken the control of the primordial qi of one’s opponent.

The effects worked in tandem.

Zhang Fashan thought that the Crone had an undeniable edge at that from the very beginning.

While it looked as if Lu Xuan was overwhelming that Crone, in truth, he deemed that Lu Xuan’s control of primordial qi to pale in comparison to that of the Crone.

There was nothing anyone could do about it.

He thought that it was hardly surprising at all.

There were no shortcuts to control of primordial qi, after all, and there was only one way one could strengthen one’s mastery in that department—continuously hone one’s mental strength.

The stronger one’s mental strength was, the better one could manipulate ambient primordial qi around them.

There was no room for shortcuts at all.

Regardless of how powerful Lu Xuan was, where the strength of one’s Spiritual Qi could be continuously stacked through the use of potions and pills, he could only gain better mastery of primordial qi through continuous honing of his mental strength.

As such, Zhang Fashan thought that it was very, very normal for Lu Xuan to lose to the Crone in such a match.

However, he realized how wrong he was as soon as Lu Xuan made his move, wrestling control of primordial qi from the Crone without any trouble at all.

That Crone seemed to have lost control of the ambient primordial qi almost instantly. She discovered right there and then, to her horror, that every inch of Lu Xuan’s skin seemed to be emanating a sheen of some kind.

That sheen was none other than that of one with inborn Taoist apt.i.tude.

Not only was the Crone unable to compare to Lu Xuan in that regard, but even those who were above Lu Xuan in terms of their level of power could only have fought him to a standstill.

She knew just how powerful one with inborn Taoist apt.i.tude could be, and what Lu Xuan showcased was just the beginning.

Lu Xuan spent no time hesitating as soon as he wrestled control of ambient primordial qi from the crone. He lashed out with his hand right away. That golden dragon claw was brought down onto the Crone like a mountain.

The Crone was thrown hundreds of meters away instantly. She looked almost as if she had been teleported from one spot to another.

Boom!

The area she occupied mere moments ago was devastated by Lu Xuan through sheer brute strength.

Lu Xuan then continued without hesitation, chasing after the Crone and launched yet another attack with his huge hand right away at the Crone.

The Crone kept being pushed back while she attempted to wrestle control of primordial qi from him.

However, Lu Xuan’s mental presence was so overwhelming that she felt like he was everywhere, robbing her of all primordial qi around her almost instantly.

She lost utterly to him in terms of mental strength, which naturally translated to control of primordial qi as well. She had no chance of winning at all, ever since she ran into Lu Xuan.

What Lu Xuan did prevented her from gathering Spirit Qi. The effects were so severe that she felt herself being imprisoned in some tiny prison of a s.p.a.ce.

She was hardly able to budge, and every single move she made was incredibly difficult.

Lu Xuan kept closing in on her and slaughtering her under such overwhelming odds.

While the Crone was able to bring her powers to be on par with Lu Xuan’s through the use of pills, her presence was like a needle in haystacks compared with her surroundings.

That was why Lu Xuan needed to wrestle control of ambient primordial qi away from her.

He did not actually think much of that in the beginning, but he only wanted the fight to end quickly at the moment, and the only way to do so, was to wrestle control of primordial qi back from the Crone at breakneck speed.

“You’re dead, and you just don’t know it yet!” Lu Xuan shouted and extended his hand out yet again, conjuring an incredibly huge dragon claw. It opened up, causing boundless primordial qi to gush into it.

The dragon claw continuously grew in time, so much so that it covered several kilometers in length.

That dragon claw came down on her like a huge hammer from the clouds.

Boom!

That dragon claw attack connected. Everything happened at breakneck speeds; it was as if the attacks were lightning itself. The Crone was swiped away and sent flying by that dragon claw attack, making her feel as if every single bone in her body snapped in an instant.

Blood flew from her mouth despite the inhuman resilience granted by the pill that Yan Han bestowed upon her. The heavy blow made the worsening situation an unsalvageable one for her right there and then.

She felt the world around her spinning, as she remained confused and dazed.

The Crone never expected the day where something like that would happen.

“Time to send you to h.e.l.l.”

Lu Xuan saw the Crone continuing to adjust her position while being sent flying, struggling to right herself and get back up; he did not bother giving her any chance to do so.

Lu Xuan simply threw another punch at her. The force of his punch conjured a dragon claw, launching straight at her while bringing about a wave of Spirit Qi, which then crashed down on the Crone like a meteor.

Boom!

The Crone shrieked as the attack connected. She was shredded in an instant, being completely torn to pieces.

There were even explosions of greater intensity taking place right after that as if there were bombs strapped to her body.

Lu Xuan remained unfazed as he crossed his arms. He knew that the explosions were an effect from the power of the Crone’s body bursting, tearing her body apart as they ran unchecked.

It was due to the shackles of the world that her powers remained limited. The quality of that pill would have otherwise brought her powers to new heights. At the very least, it would have enabled her to break through the upper limit of the Airborne Realm.

However, due to said shackles from the world, her powers did not manage to be raised that far, thus containing all that ma.s.sive boosting effect within her cells.

Those unused powers became something like explosives contained within her cells.

That punch from Lu Xuan served as the detonator.

The body of the Crone was reduced to a blood mist. A b.l.o.o.d.y corpse soon fell to the ground.
