Chapter 149
"Swish swish swish swish swish!!!"
Strands of hair pierced through the air and penetrated the ground and wall, leaving them riddled with holes . Pits were everywhere .
The old man stood still . As if there was no end to it, the white hair billowing behind him chased Li Shunxi and Bai Qiuling whose faces were stained with blood around in a frenzy .
"It’s the Jade of Secrets indeed . You can predict the spot I’m about to strike," a green glint flashed in the old man’s pupils, becoming more radiant and intense .
The corners of his lips curved upward into a savage smile as his body began to distort and expand . His muscles and bones moved, elongating his body and covering it in a layer of black cuticle . Massive amounts of white hair flowed like a waterfall behind his head .
A layer of black cuticle also covered the old man’s face .
"My original form can perfectly avoid the predictive powers of the Jade of Secrets . Because my attacks are, in the first place, unpredictable .
In fact, as long as I’m willing, I can seal this entire courtyard . In this space, I am absolutely invincible…"
He extended both his hands, causing large waves of white hair to sweep towards Bai Qiuling and Li Shunxi like a tidal wave . In that moment, all light was blotted out by the tsunami of hair . The old man’s body was still growing larger and taller . Large amounts of structures woven together by his hair adhered onto his body, further enlarging it .
"Do you see this? This is my power . So what if it falls within the Jade of Secret’s predictions? Who in the entire Twin Eagle City can save you? None! None at all!! Even if you run with all your life, yell with all your might, even if you can activate the Jade of Secrets perfectly, even…"
"KA-BOOM!!!" A deafening blast rang out .
The perimeter wall behind the old man had exploded . A three-meter tall giant shadow charged in violently and slammed into the back of the old man forcefully .
"PUU!!"
The old man spat a mouthful of blood into the air as his body was immediately slammed into at an eccentric angle . A series of cracks rang out from his body as countless bones were fractured . Like a rocket, he flew and slammed into the ground before him .
"Buzz…!"
A numbness fell on the entire courtyard .
The old man struggled to get up, but an unstoppable force immediately pulled at his hair, sending a wave of pain to his scalp .
"I WAS JUST ABOUT TO LEAVE! I was going to let you do your thing! And in the end? IN THE END!!?"
Lu Sheng snarled as he slammed the old man’s head into the ground multiple times, tugging at his hair .
"BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!!!"
Only after a series of mind-numbing tremors did Lu Sheng vent all his anger . Lu Sheng had slammed the old man’s head into the ground for god-knows-how-long . He stopped only after realizing that the hair he was holding onto was, at some unknown point in time, no longer connected to anything but some clumps of flesh and blood .
He bundled up the hair and tied it to his belt .
"Phew…!"
He breathed out, summoning a gust of wind in the courtyard .
By now, a large, deep pit ten meters wide had appeared in the ground between him and Li Shunxi . It was basically caused when Lu Sheng kept slamming the old man’s head into the ground in a frenzy .
The old man was no more . Li Shunxi and Bai Qiuling stared at him in dumb shock, their mouths gaping and their eyes dazed .
"Oh? Isn’t this Brother Li? Why are you here?" Lu Sheng was rather surprised to see Li Shunxi here .
"…Shouldn’t that be my line?" Li Shunxi was shaken to the core . He looked at the meat pulp on the ground and the giant pit in the middle of the courtyard . Was that insanely powerful old man gone just like that?
‘Lu Sheng’s that strong?’
He couldn’t believe himself . But recalling his battle with the Ashoka Manor Emissaries previously, he quickly made sense out of it .
With great effort, Li Shunxi shifted his gaze and looked at Lu Sheng again, gulping .
Despite some subtle differences from before, his familiar hulking frame was largely unchanged .
The thing was, in the destiny he had seen in the Jade of Secrets, there was no appearance by Lu Sheng . This should have been the part where he would bring Bai Qiuling along on the run for their lives .
Although he had also seen the martial arts exchange in his vision, it was not Crimson Whale Sect who had come for the exchange at all . Moreover, the leader of the exchange party was a very old man . He had not seen Lu Sheng anywhere in his vision at all . Had he known that he was present, he would have divulged the intelligence to him at the first opportunity . Perhaps he could have averted this tragedy…
"You… you know each other!?" Bai Qiuling did not recognize Lu Sheng in his Yang Extreme Mode . Frightened, she hid herself behind Li Shunxi . To her, all that had happened was that the freak from Ashoka Manor was now replaced by an even stronger freak . Had it not been for the fact that Li Shunxi seemed to know him, she would have turned and fled .
"Oh, it’s niece Qiuling! It’s me! I’m your Uncle Lu," Lu Sheng’s body quickly shrank and recovered its original form, leaving Bai Qiuling wide-eyed and gaping dumbfounded .
"Not good . Let’s go! The evil jade is exploding!!!" Li Shunxi suddenly cried .
"Evil jade?" Judging by his expression, Lu Sheng understood that it was something extremely dangerous . Without further ado, he moved like lightning, seizing the two of them and leaping out of the courtyard towards the Crimson Whale Sect company .
As for that old man, he was merely at Four-Vein Level . The gap in their power was too wide . Additionally, he had been struck off-guard and smashed into meat pulp . There was no way he could survive that .
As for Scarlet District, there was bound to be opportunities in the future to settle the score with them . The moment Lu Sheng had caught sight of the symbol on the lanterns, he knew that Scarlet District must have had a hand in this .
