This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

Chapter 132: Battle at Mount Qingyun

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Things were getting shaky, and everyone was paying close attention to the upcoming battle, which would be yet another one at Deity level.

As the level that everyone knew to be the maximum tolerated by the world itself at the moment, Deity level was what just about every cultivator aspired to.

There were only a handful of cultivators in the world who had been able to reach such a level, with the most famous of them all being the Big Boss of the Special Task Force.

This man had single-handedly suppressed all the other forces, who were now getting restless and itching to cause trouble.

If it had not been for his having to stay in the Capital City for prolonged periods for mysterious reasons, he would have probably been regarded as the most fearsome of all beings in existence.

Beyond that, there was the man lauded as the number one in Min Province, the man who was the talk of the town as of late—Mr. Lu.

Two of the greatest Deity-level fighters were about to duke it out, and everyone was looking forward to the big day.

The Song Clan issued a challenge to Lu Xuan just three days after the incident. Song Lingfeng, the Great Ancestor of the Song Clan, would be heading to Mount Qingyun in Fu City to fight Lu Xuan in another three days.

If Lu Xuan refused to show up, he and his family would be marked for death by the Holy Dragon Corporation.

“It seems like the Holy Dragon Corporation and the Song Clan are still clinging to the idea of taking control of Min Province, then.”

“You’ve got that right. Song Lingfeng, the Great Ancestor of the Song Clan, chose to issue a challenge instead of storming the place right away. The Holy Dragon Corporation must be up to something.”

“Killing off Mr. Lu just like that wouldn’t be as shocking as having a huge crowd witness Mr. Lu’s death, after all.”

They gave the idea some thought and eventually figured out what the clan was up to. By issuing a challenge to the top fighter in all of Min Province, in the name of the Great Ancestor of the Song Clan, the Min Province Alliance that Lu Xuan had built would crumble as soon as Lu Xuan lost.

The Song Clan would bag the entire alliance in one fell swoop, which would then allow them to control the entirety of Min Province.

The cultivation forces within the province began to make their move. The Song Clan’s forceful invasion of Min Province was a serious threat to all of them, after all.

At that point, there was no one else anywhere in all of Min Province deemed capable of taking on Song Lingfeng.

The one and only person they could rely on was Lu Xuan.

All the cultivation forces throughout the province banded together at a frightening pace to show their goodwill to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan received goodwill from the Chen Clan, the Seven Invincible Sect, and even the Southern Shaolin Temple and the Special Task Force, all in a very short span of time.

Representatives from those forces came one by one, making it clear that they were all ready to help Lu Xuan.

It was apparent that the attack by the Holy Dragon Corporation and the Song Clan had riled up all of Min Province’s cultivation forces enough that they had banded together to resist the invaders.

Unfortunately, none of them were able to do anything to resist Deity-level fighters. Otherwise, the Holy Dragon Corporation wouldn’t have had such an easy time invading the province.

Lu Xuan was reading the materials gathered in the manor at the heart of the lake, looking rather cold and indifferent.

Lu Xuan had been expecting some retaliation from the Holy Dragon Corporation, and he was able to guess at what they were up to. Lu Xuan had organized an alliance of all the tycoons in the province.

The Holy Dragon Corporation only needed to defeat Lu Xuan to make that alliance their own, which would save them a lot of time and effort.

“You wanna make me your stepping stone, eh? Let’s see if you people are really capable of that,” Lu Xuan said coldly. Seething killing intent burst from his eyes when he read that they intended to eradicate his family.

“The way I see it, you all have death wishes.”

Lu Xuan issued another similar challenge after the one from the Song Clan came to him—a battle to the death at Mount Qingyun outside of Fu City in three days.

A huge commotion erupted throughout the entire world of cultivators in Huaxia. Many cultivators traveled to Fu City just to witness the Deity-level battle.

Mount Qingyun was one of the top ten tourist hotspots in Fu City, and the place was usually filled with tourists. However, a blizzard hit the place all of a sudden, making the mountain path impassible, and the number of visitors dropped sharply as a result.

Still, many people in light summer clothing, sporting ferocious expressions, came to the foot of Mount Qingyun very early that day.

There were cultivators who came from other provinces after catching wind of the news, as well as local cultivators.

“The aura is terrifying. I guess there were already more than 20 Baodan Grandmasters around by the time we could see them, eh,” quipped a disciple of the Seven Invincible Sect, feeling rather astonished as he stood halfway up the mountain.

As one of the major local forces, there was no way they would miss the battle that would determine the fate of the province.

Things throughout Min Province would be affected all the same, regardless of who won or lost.

The Chen Clan, which was conventionally the sect’s adversary, showed up too, not far away.

The entire Seven Invincible Sect was in profound shock. They were shocked almost to the core.

None of them had expected the battle between Lu Xuan and Song Lingfeng would attract the attention of so many cultivators.

The number of cultivators that had come out of hiding throughout Huaxia made them feel as if their eyes had just been opened.

Many claimed the cultivators of Min Province were weaklings, and they were feeling frustrated about it.

The Seven Invincible Sect was a major force that reigned supreme throughout the northern part of Min Province. Calling Min Province weak was a direct attack on the sect itself.

However, seeing what they were seeing, they had to admit that they were indeed weak.

Many formidable fighters had emerged within their ranks after spirit qi was restored to the world, and as a result, they had quite a few Baodan Grandmasters among them. Their big brother, Lin Sheng, had been able to make a breakthrough after receiving guidance from Lu Xuan, and he was already a Martial Arts Legend.

He was a super fighter unlike any the sect had seen before, having broken through the limits of their grandmasters throughout the ages and eclipsed many great geniuses of the past.

Never in history had the Seven Invincible Sect been so powerful.

If such a lineup had existed decades or even just several years ago, they would have been powerful enough to raze the entire province and become the overlords reigning supreme over the country.

Yet now, it did not take them long to spot over 20 Baodan Grandmasters among those who were arriving, and they had been around the place for quite a while.

Furthermore, there was more than one route leading to the mountain, and there were definitely a great many fighters coming up by other paths.

The number of those formidable fighters must have been staggering.

Those of the Seven Invincible Sect never knew that there were so many formidable ones to be found throughout Huaxia. Many of those fighters were total strangers to them.

It was as though a huge number of sea monsters had been flushed out after a depth charge was dropped. The scene would have astonished any who saw it.

“You think it’s just Baodan Grandmasters? Haven’t you see a few Martial Arts Legends among them already?” someone said.

All of them were silent. The aura emanating from the group as they passed was so intense that they felt as if they were about to choke.

None of them had any doubts that a single person from that group alone would be able to kill them all.

It was fortunate that their big brother, Lin Sheng, was around, for he was the only one capable of resisting those people.

Lin Sheng sported a severe expression. It was obvious that he was very shaken by the many formidable fighters that just appeared out of nowhere. He had not been able to stay gleeful for long after becoming a Martial Arts Legend before that other group shook him back to reality.
