This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome Chapter 693 - Seven-star Poisonous Centipede Making Its Debut

Chapter 693: Seven-star Poisonous Centipede Making Its Debut

It was the Soul-crusher Blood Claw!

A b.l.o.o.d.y aura washed all over the place as the claw traveled, immediately conjuring a blood-colored specter in midair. That blood-colored specter was so overwhelmingly frightening that it could overpower nature itself. Every bit of the b.l.o.o.d.y aura in it contained raging, terrifying power.

That attack would’ve actually made one feel as if they had nowhere to run. They would’ve felt as if they were facing certain doom.

Lu Xuan remained unfazed and simply let the claw attack come at him. Cracking noises were heard everywhere around him as the surrounding air was shredded, causing even s.p.a.ce itself to vibrate and become slightly warped.

A cultivator at the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm needed only to throw a single attack to bring about such devastating power. Even just a casual, dismissive attack alone would’ve already been far more powerful than a full-powered attack that Zhou Daoping mustered all of his strength to throw.

In terms of power, the two couldn’t have been any more different.

Just then, Lu Xuan went on to throw the Golden Dragon Claws. Golden power coming from the punch coalesced into terrifying shockwaves before materializing as a dragon claw, meeting that Soul-crusher Blood Claw head-on.

Boom!

The b.l.o.o.d.y claw attack took mere moments—almost in an instant—to tear apart Lu Xuan’s incoming dragon claw attack.

While his Golden Dragon Claws attack was of a higher grade than that of the Soul-crusher Blood Claw, Lu Xuan’s level was actually three tiers below Zhou Sulong.

The difference in power was so obvious that Lu Xuan’s attack couldn’t even stay intact for a second.

Zhou Sulong shouted, “Die!”

His Soul-crusher Blood Claw continued to descend onto Lu Xuan, crus.h.i.+ng him altogether.

However, it instantly became clear that the claw attack had missed its target.

“Some formidable movements indeed.”

Zhou Sulong was anything but ordinary. Naturally, he could tell that Lu Xuan’s movements were uncannily quick.

Even Zhou Sulong couldn’t tell when Lu Xuan actually disappeared. That other man seemed to have evaded a fatal attack almost in the nick of time.

Movement speed like that could’ve only be described as nothing short of insanely high.

Despite him being several tiers higher than Lu Xuan, he was still unable to gain any advantage against Lu Xuan in terms of speed.

When Lu Xuan appeared again, he was already standing a little more than a hundred meters away. He immediately evaded that terrifying attack.

“You truly are something else.”

As Lu Xuan narrowed his gaze, the Spiritual Aether within him instantly burst. His aura spread out all around him before going back into him. The Auric Flower was then conjured above his head immediately afterward.

He no longer had an extra aura leaking out of him, yet he still looked and felt utterly terrifying.

Zhou Sulong then saw the Auric Flower on the other side.

“It’s the Auric Flower!”

An intense aura of murderous intent shot out from Zhou Sulong’s eyes. There was no doubt that he knew of the Auric Flower as well as how excruciatingly difficult it was to actually conjure one.

He had never seen anyone capable of conjuring that move in real life, yet someone now managed to do so right in front of his eyes. One could’ve imagined just how shocked and how badly Zhou Sulong wanted to kill Lu Xuan now.

He definitely couldn’t afford to let someone like Lu Xuan remain in the world.

“Do you really think that conjuring the Auric Flower would change anything? You’re still too weak!”

The look in his eyes remained confident. He was impressed that Lu Xuan was able to conjure the Auric Flower, but that was all there was to it. Being at a level far lower than him, he deemed that Lu Xuan could never close the difference in power between them even after conjuring the Auric Flower.

He then immediately cast another Soul-crusher Blood Claw, tearing at the air and nearly killing Lu Xuan where he stood.

Lu Xuan disappeared from where he stood again. He then instantly reappeared at Zhou Sulong’s left side and threw a Golden Dragon Claws at him right away.

Boom!

As the punch tore at the sky, Zhou Sulong shouted in response. He was able to respond just as quickly. While he was unable to read Lu Xuan’s movements, he could still react in time.

He then threw another Soul-crusher Blood Claw at Lu Xuan, which tore at the sky as it clashed with the Golden Dragon Claws.

Boom!

The two attacks collided. If anyone were to look at the clash from above, they would be able to see a golden and a blood-colored wave cras.h.i.+ng into each other.

Lu Xuan’s powers were more than somewhat amplified after conjuring the Auric Flower. The damage potential of his attacks reached the point of being able to overwhelm everyone who was below the sixth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm. As a result, he was not entirely defenseless even when he fought against Zhou Sulong, who was at the seventh tier.

His attack had gotten so powerful that it could take any attack from Zhou Sulong head-on.

As Zhou Sulong shouted, his powers raged and spread all over the place like a b.l.o.o.d.y torrent.

He then shouted, “It’s pointless. The difference between you and me is as large as that between heaven and the earth!”

His blood-colored energy around him was about to crush Lu Xuan’s punch before a blast of lightning shot out of Lu Xuan, blasting onto his claw attack right away.

It took almost a mere second to tear apart Zhou Sulong’s attack, which couldn’t even withstand the attack.

The incoming attack punched right through his s.h.i.+eld of Great Aether, shooting inside his palm.

Arrghh!

Zhou Sulong shrieked as his entire arm almost blew up on the spot. He backed away immediately and evaded Lu Xuan’s Golden Dragon Claws, which was thrown within the blink of an eye.

Zhou Sulong broke out in a cold sweat as his face became ashen.

He managed to swat away that blast of whatever that power was. Even so, another claw attack in the nick of time.

It was only then that he saw what actually came at him. That thing was a venomous centipede that looked like no other, and emanated black mist all over it.

This was the Seven-star Poisonous Centipede!

Lu Xuan recalled that Seven-star Poisonous Centipede back in his hand. At such a critical moment, he had used the centipede to penetrate Zhou Sulong’s s.h.i.+eld of Great Aether. The centipede chewed out a ma.s.sive hole in his palm and almost burrowed into his body.

If that centipede had been able to burrow into his body, even a cultivator at the ninth tier of the Divine Transformation Realm would’ve died all the same. A cultivator at the seventh tier was far less likely to withstand it.

He would’ve died a horrible death.

The venom from that centipede was so unbelievably potent that not even the s.h.i.+eld of Great Aether of someone at the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm could even block the attack.

It was a total waste for it to remain in the hands of Zhang Yirong back in Taichu Path. That man hadn’t been able to even use a tenth of the centipede’s powers. The centipede then fell into Lu Xuan’s hands.

He had been feeding and fostering that centipede for years. He never bothered using the centipede in his usual fights, only using it in dire situations as what was happening now.

The attack worked. Although the poison didn’t kill Zhou Sulong immediately, it was still enough to kill him eventually.

Zhou Sulong felt his entire arm beginning to turn numb. His arm had blackened so badly that it looked charred. Toxins then seeped into other parts of his body at a frightening rate.

What the h.e.l.l was that?

Zhou Sulong never knew that such a venomous creature actually existed in the world. It took only one bite from the centipede to render his entire arm useless while the toxins were quickly attacking his heart.
