Chapter 735: Public Enemy Number One

Lu Xuan summoned the Chaos Heaven Stabilizer Bell in the nick of time and blocked that fatal attack.

The usual spiritual weapons wouldn’t have been enough to block the attack. Since the bell was capable of traversing s.p.a.ce, it was able to appear right above his head and blocked that last attack from the Great Ancestor of the Jiang family in the nick of time.

The Jiang family was done for.

That was the thought that appeared in the minds of everyone present whether they liked it or not. The Jiang family was truly done for.

All of the fighters from the Jiang family who were deemed formidable enough to hold their own were all dead. The clan was robbed of any chance of being protected by such fighters on the surface, and they lost protection from their Great Ancestor from the shadows to the hands of that young man as well.

The Jiang family was completely robbed of any means of defending themselves from those who had their eyes on them.

The Jiang family truly lost what it would have taken for them to rise again. Despite being only a lesser clan found amongst the many others throughout the entire Holy Sun Continent, a clan like that would have still required over a millennium for them to be of such a size and prestige. They would’ve had to acc.u.mulate resources throughout the ages before they could become something substantial.

No one would have given the Jiang family much time to rise again.

Of course, it was entirely impossible for them to ever get such a chance. Under such circ.u.mstances, the Jiang family was done for.

The aura which Lu Xuan clad himself with gradually subsided. By then, n.o.body around would have dared to underestimate Lu Xuan anymore; his performance just moments ago was more than enough to shock them.

The guests of the clan were all shocked to the core.

However, the crowd remembered what that Great Ancestor just said before. Lu Xuan did look like he had run out of tricks at that moment. His current condition actually wasn’t that much better than that of the Great Ancestor of the Jiang family just moments ago.

Upon thinking about it further, the looks that people cast on Lu Xuan became rather odd. There truly was malice br.i.m.m.i.n.g in their eyes.

Lu Xuan remained completely unfazed by the looks he received. He simply walked down from the sky as if he was stepping on solid ground.

“Sir!”

At that moment, a middle-aged man who wore lavish clothes walked out among the guests of the Jiang family. He stood before Lu Xuan and cupped his hand as he said, “I’m Xiao Ying, the head of the Xiao Clan.”

He was the head of a lesser clan as well. The Xiao Clan was not all that much better than the Jiang family. Both were more or less the same in many ways.

Lu Xuan looked at the middle-aged man who wore a lavish robe and asked casually, “What are you trying to tell me?”

Xiao Ying paused before he said with a serious look on his face, “I was hoping that you would hand Liu Haotian over, sir. The sacred bloodline is of the utmost importance to the Holy Sun Continent, and it’s something that you shouldn’t lay your hands on.”

Lu Xuan raised one eyebrow and then asked, “Lay my hands on? Then what if I refuse?”

“Then forgive me for being rude!”

Xiao Ying stood before Lu Xuan and drew a long blade in his hand, looking as if he was about to cut down some kind of demon.

Xiao Ying was not the only one. Lu Xuan could see people casting all kinds of malicious looks upon both him and Liu Haotian.

Apparently, what the Great Ancestor of the Jiang family said before his death eventually came to pa.s.s.

Many believed that if Lu Xuan was still able to fight, wondering if he was but at the end of his might just like that Great Ancestor of the Jiang family was before.

One could imagine just how terrifying things could be if someone were to harbor such thoughts. There was no doubt about that.

Despite the shocking performance that Lu Xuan just pulled, everyone thought that his powers were reaching their limits.

Lu Xuan smirked as he replied, “Interesting. I could consider it if you could withstand a single punch from me.”

Xiao Ying coldly said, “You’ve run out of tricks. I’d advise you to know your place!”

Now that things had gotten this far, he had no choice but to advance.

Liu Haotian, who was of the bloodline of the sacred ones, was too tantalizing of a specimen to pa.s.s up.

Xiao Ying coldly asked, “A single punch? You seriously think I’m actually that helpless?” His aura raged like the roaring seas, while the aura on his blade became increasingly terrifying. At this point, his powers were now on full display.

He was at the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm.

Lu Xuan chuckled coldly and answered, “Helpless? No, you’re anything but that. Then again, it doesn’t make that much of a difference to me. Since you all are harboring such thoughts, how about you all come at me then? I’d love to see how many among you are thinking about that.”

Lu Xuan didn’t rush to make his move. At that moment, many people were wondering if they should make a move as well. They believed that the harder Lu Xuan’s stance currently was, the more truthful the Great Ancestor’s words became before he died; what he said about Lu Xuan having no fight left in him would’ve been true.

He was apparently no longer able to fight like how he did before.

They could all tell that Lu Xuan had no signs of Spiritual Aether fluctuations about him after all. They deemed that Lu Xuan had apparently used some secret arts to reach such a terrifying level of combat prowess before. This was what had allowed him to quickly become an unstoppable killing machine.

While they had no idea what kind of secret art he used, they knew that such secret arts always came at a steep cost. It was utterly impossible for him to make use of such arts again in a short amount of time.

Furthermore, everyone could currently tell that while they didn’t know what was wrong with Lu Xuan, they were still sure that something was obviously wrong with him. Whatever was wrong with him had to have been a big deal.

That was why he couldn’t make full use of his powers. It had gotten to the point where they all began guessing what would happen.

Based on everything that had happened, they could tell that Lu Xuan’s combat prowess was definitely not at its peak. As a result, he had to make use of other ways to return his powers to a certain level.

Many people could even imagine that Lu Xuan must have been a fighter like no other before he became like that. However, that no longer mattered as much as the fact that he had reached such a state.

More importantly, Lu Xuan was definitely unable to make use of the secret arts which he just used moments ago. It wouldn’t have made any sense to do so.

It was due to such judgments that many could feel an itching sensation in their hands.

“It is exactly how Brother Xiao put it. How could something as precious as the sacred bloodline fall into the hands of a n.o.body like you?”

Another fighter stood out and made an issue of his mysterious origins.

After what happened with the Jiang family before, many had looked so deeply into Lu Xuan’s origins that even the Listening Pavilion had exhausted their contacts in doing so. Despite all of the effort they put forth, there was still n.o.body who could find out anything about his origins.

Even the Listening Pavilion, whose business relied on providing information, was unable to get anything on Lu Xuan. Deep down, many people were still wondering about Lu Xuan’s origins.

Such reasons could’ve been made a public issue, and no one could say anything about it.

“That’s right! The sacred bloodline absolutely couldn’t fall in the hands of some n.o.body!”

“If you insist on taking away the one with the sacred bloodline today, you would have to answer to us all.”

“There’s no way someone like him could be considered a good guy. He kills people as if they were mere cattle, for crying out loud! I say we work together and kill him!”
