Chapter 44: Showdown between Martial Arts Legends

“You dare to play dirty!? This is too much!” Hao Danfeng leaped up from his chair right away, heading straight for that young man.

That young man made a move right away without announcing anything. From his perspective, that as hardly different from playing dirty.

Those of the Seven Invincible Sect glared at that young man with angry faces.

However, Hao Danfeng did not manage to harm that young man when he was blasted with a single punch. He was then sent flying backward quicker than before.

Hao Danfeng attacked head-on, yet he was unable to take even one single hit from that young man. Be it in terms of speed or power, that young man completely trumped Hao Danfeng.

It was no longer a problem with younger people having an edge in martial arts. Just like how it had been with Lin Sheng defeating Chen Chang before, it was a problem with the difference in levels.

It took only one move.

At that moment, even the slowest, densest of spectators would have been able to tell just how different the powers between both sides were.

That young man practically overwhelmed Hao Danfeng.

Although the young man indeed looked like he was playing dirty before, from the looks of things at the moment, the results would have hardly differed if both were to actually just clash head-on.

Hao Danfeng crashed to the ground hard and continued to cough up blood. Several of his ribs were broken right there and then.

“What a piece of trash!” That young man smirked smugly, not bothering with what was happening before him.

All those from the Seven Invincible Sect panicked right away. With even the two most formidable leading figures among them so easily defeated, they were at a loss for what to do. It was something that they had never encountered before.

“Mr. Lu, that’s the man. I sent his picture to headquarters earlier, and something just came back. That man is Chen Jiashang. He hails from the main line of the Chen Clan overseas. He has undergone mercenary training since he was young, and he was also the disciple of that traitor of the Special Task Force.” The voice of Square-faced Fatso sounded in Lu Xuan’s ears. “Chen Jiashang made quite a name for himself over the past few years, fighting all over Southeast Asia. None have been able to best him. The higher-ups are telling us to take him out immediately. We can’t afford to let him leave the country.”

Lu Xuan stood immediately after hearing that, coming before Lin Sheng and Hao Danfeng. He then locked several points on their bodies using needles coalesced from Spiritual Qi, preventing their injuries from worsening.

“Thank you, Mr. Lu.” Lin Sheng struggled to thank Lu Xuan.

“I’ll look into your injuries once I’m done with this guy,” Lu Xuan said.

He had never bothered interfering due to all of it being affairs between those two parties. Scores of their own fought and killed each other every year, and both sides had gotten very used to it. Lu Xuan saw no need to get himself involved.

However, things were different at the moment. Given how that young man had something to do with that traitor of the Special Task Force, Lu Xuan saw it fit to use that man for practice.

That young man shot a cold, condescending glare at Lu Xuan, thinking Lu Xuan was yet another fellow who did not know his place.

Everyone turned their gaze to Lu Xuan. Everyone was puzzled why someone else dared to step up after that harrowing demonstration of power demonstrated by that young man.

“He’s crazy. He sure is gonna end up dead right away!” Guo Yuanyuan exclaimed.

From her perspective, Lu Xuan was just too bold.

Lu Yuling said nothing and felt very tense as well, afraid of the possible sight of seeing Lu Xuan getting bashed so badly that he would die while spitting up blood all over the place. It would have been too bloody of a scene to witness.

“Chen Jiashang, I take it?” Lu Xuan grinned and continued, “I’m surprised to see that you’ve become a martial arts legend at such a young age. It’s no surprise why Lin Sheng and the others couldn’t do anything about you. Too bad you have run into me.” historical

Everyone was immediately baffled by what he said, especially those who were very close to where both men were. They knew a thing or two about martial arts despite not being warriors themselves.

Baodan Grandmasters were already considered quite legendary, to begin with. They were qualified enough to become bodyguards of the leader of the Inner Palace. Martial arts legends were even more so, as they were indeed true legends.

Judging from that young man’s appearance, he was definitely below 30, and everyone was surprised that he was already a martial arts legend.

Even Zhang Sanfeng of ancient timesa—Dharma genius of his time—did not become a martial arts legend at such a young age.

Chen Jiashang’s pupils contracted slightly. That was because he was the first and only person who had been able to tell the extent of his training since the very moment he came to the mainland.

The extent of his training did not actually progress that quickly, to begin with. He was but a common Baodan Grandmaster level before. However, he accidentally ingested a peculiar fruit a while ago, which greatly boosted his training, enabling him to break into the level of martial arts legends.

He had never met his match even after fighting every single underground force throughout Southeast Asia that he was able to find.

He thought himself to have been nigh-invincible, so much so that he did not need to fear the Special Task Force even after coming to the mainland.

As such, he went about the place, throwing his weight around.

Lin Sheng and Hao Danfeng eyed each other for a bit and wore bitter smirks on their faces. It was no surprise why they had been so easily defeated. That young man was a martial arts legend, after all.

The gap between Baodan Grandmasters and martial arts legends was simply too great.

“Someone told me to take you in. If you are to be able to take three moves of mine and remain standing, I’ll let you off,” Lu Xuan said plainly. His words were that of incredible confidence.

“How insolent!”

Chen Jiashang was very angry, as he had never seen any other person who had could behave more pompously than him.

Boom!

Chen Jiashang charged right away and appeared right before Lu Xuan, throwing a punch that felt like a cannonball, which was so intense that it made the air around him burst. It headed straight for Lu Xuan with immense force.

Chen Jiashang had not used his full strength when taking on Hao Danfeng and Lin Sheng before. It was only now that he brought his full might to bear.

Bang!

A metal clanging sound was heard almost immediately afterward. Chen Jiashang threw a punch, hitting Lu Xuan’s chest squarely, but he quickly realized how his full-powered punch had not been able to penetrate Lu Xuan’s Shield of Vigor at all.

“You, too, are a martial arts legend!”

Chen Jiashang was dumbfounded right away. Baodan Grandmasters were at a stage where they would have begun training their inner qi, enabling them to attack enemies using their qi. Only when one reached the level of a martial arts legend could they truly meld their inner qi with their body, culminating in the Shield of Vigor.

The Shield of Vigor was a mark signifying one’s accomplishment into becoming a martial arts legend, which also happened to be the level’s signature power.

“Not bad. Now you realize what’s going on. Too late, though.”

Lu Xuan smirked coldly as he launched a kick right away.

Bang!

Chen Jiashang was sent flying. He was unable to break through Lu Xuan’s Shield of Vigor, yet Lu Xuan was easily able to crash through his with just a single kick.

Chen Jiashang finally steadied himself after struggling for a bit to get up, coughing up blood as he did. All of his internal organs had been rattled. That one kick had ended up causing him grievous injuries.

His eyes still harbored that condescendence and haughtiness when he looked at Lu Xuan again, but they were now mixed with a tinge of fear.

The place was dead silent for a time. With the exception of Lin Sheng and some others, who long knew just how formidable Lu Xuan was, everyone else was immediately stunned by the sudden turn of events.

Chen Jiashang, who looked absolutely invincible in their eyes before, had ended up so easily and grievously injured by just one move from Lu Xuan.

“It’s no surprise why he dared to come up on the stage. He really is something indeed,” Guo Yuanyuan, who was below the stage, said, her mouth was left gaping wide from being baffled.
