This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome Chapter 212 - Killing Adam and the Vampires

Chapter 212: Killing Adam and the Vampires

Lu Xuan easily blocked Adam’s attack, and he did so without breaking a sweat.
Every single attack that Adam was able to pull seemed futile.
“Go to hell!”
He spread the webbed wings on his back, and his eyes became pitch black. He disappeared from where he stood as he stomped hard on the ground.
No common folk would have even been able to track his movements.
But then again, Lu Xuan was no common folk. He extended his hands and tore at the air. A shriek was heard almost instantly, and Adam was seen dropping from the sky.
The webbed wings on his back were torn away right there and then. Blood splattered everywhere.
Adam’s superspeed was utterly useless before Lu Xuan’s pair of Delusion-breaker Eyes.
The super speed that Adam was so proud of, actually made him look like he was moving in slow motion in Lu Xuan’s eyes.
Lu Xuan’s dynamic visual acuity was insanely powerful, after all.
He grabbed at the air before him right away, just as Adam began to fall out of the sky.
Boundless Spiritual Qi formed on his hand, coalescing into a huge dragon claw and took hold of Adam right away.
Adam struggled with all his might, yet the claw remained firmly clamped around his body all the same.
The power difference between the two of them was simply too vast.
There was finally an expression of despair seen on Adam’s face at that moment. He finally realized right there and then, that the power difference between him and Lu Xuan was so huge that it was beyond his imagination.
Lu Xuan was at a height that he had no hope of ever reaching.
“Spare me, and you’ll earn the friendship of the Association of Lore Seekers!” Adam said right away.
“Friendship of the Association of Lore Seekers? Just what the hell do you take me for?” Lu Xuan quipped plainly. It was apparent that he thought Adam’s words to be utterly beneath him.
“The Association of Lore Seekers is but the tip of the iceberg, behind the association, there is…” Adam did not get to finish his sentence before Lu Xuan’s dragon claw squished Adam down, who was instantly pulverized and reduced to a fine mist of blood spraying everywhere.
“Behind the Association of Lore Seekers, eh?” Lu Xuan snickered mockingly. He knew what was behind the association without a doubt, and he was most probably the only person in the world who knew of that so well.
He knew that there was a goliath behind the association—the vampires told of in myths and legends.
With the exception of Lu Xuan, there were probably only five insanely powerful figures at the top of the world’s power structures, who knew a thing or two about the association, which was a cultivation force backed by the vampires.
Those beings hid and grew their numbers in plain sight among humans for millennia. It was due exactly to that that the vampires had a power base with very deep roots and commanded authority like no other. They were especially powerful in the United States.
It was said that a group of vampires ventured out into the oceans in order to escape persecution from the church, landing in North America, which was a wild and untamed land back in those days. Those vampires quickly established their rule all over North American regions.
There were quite a number of clans that had ties in one way or another to the vampires or that consisted of vampires outright. Many of them were even known for their fondness of those beings, becoming vampires themselves in order to gain immortality, as well as the favor of the vampires of old.
There were countless throughout the United States who worked or made to work for the vampires one way or another, regardless if those people were aware of it or otherwise.
The vampires were beings that, even the United States, which was known as the top of the big five nations in the world, were very wary of this. Adam definitely had his reasons for daring to negotiate with Lu Xuan as he had.
It was quite a pity in his case, given how others might have been wary if they were to know that it was the vampires behind the association. If they were in Lu Xuan’s position, they might have spared him.
However, Lu Xuan never had such thoughts in the least, to begin with. In his eyes, the vampires were like cancer cells hiding among the humans, monsters that grew by feeding off of the essence of humans.
All of that was still very much a hidden secret at the moment. Even in his past life, it took many years for the vampires to finally rear their heads in public. They had even waged war against the human world, causing massive casualties.
Lu Xuan stepped into the lake. The Dragon was still healing his wounds at the moment. Ming Yueyao came up to him and said, “Thank you for your help, Mr. Lu.”
She was barely able to hide the excitement and shock on her face. What she witnessed moments earlier was like a harrowing scene that belonged in legends.
Lu Xuan was nothing short of godlike.
He alone proved more than enough to take apart the alliance of fighters from so many countries, and he would have even beaten every single one of them if he were given time.
She would have definitely not believed what she saw if it was not for the fact that she saw all of that with her very own eyes.
She initially thought that she had a very clear idea of just how powerful Lu Xuan was. Lu Xuan had been able to make short work of the White Ape King back then, and that would have been a feat that the Dragon would have been capable of too at the moment. However, she only realized how wrong she was at the moment.
She finally realized that what she saw back then was but the tip of the iceberg.
She still had no idea just how powerful Lu Xuan would be when he reached the top.
Lu Xuan’s true level of powers was utterly an enigma.
She even suspected that Lu Xuan might have actually made a breakthrough into even higher levels.
“No matter. Yun Sheng asked me to come after all. Furthermore, I’m of Huaxia myself, and I’m not about to let those outsiders behave as if they were the ones who own the place.”
Lu Xuan nodded and took a look at the divine tree on the island situated at the center of the lake—the Peach Tree of Immortality.
He knew all too well about that divine tree, as he was the one who eventually got his hands on the tree back then.
He got his hands on the tree back then, after killing one of the strongest western fighters back then.
He never expected himself to be able to get his hands on the tree so early this time around.
There were five ripe peaches hanging on the tree at the moment, giving off a faint fragrance. However, there was a barrier surrounding the tree at the moment.
The very reason why so many top-notch fighters came yet no one bothered making a move in a hurry was due to that barrier.
If they were to be unable to beat the others down and became the last one standing to break the barrier, they would have only made it easy for the others by breaking the barrier prematurely.
That barrier was a natural barrier erected by mystical life forms. It was one that no common man would have been able to do anything about.
The heritage of all of the cultivation forces found on the planet at the moment was such that nobody would have been able to do anything to tear down the barrier.
Things were different in the case of Lu Xuan, given how he had broken one too many similar barriers in his past life, which made the job very, very easy for him instead.
Lu Xuan conjured a bit of Spiritual Qi on his finger and poked at the barrier.
The barrier, which looked extremely sturdy, actually dissolved right away like it was made out of paper.
Lu Xuan’s Delusion-breaker Eyes made it all too easy for him to pinpoint weaknesses throughout the whole structure.
That was what enabled him to tear down the barrier without trouble.
Everyone who was still around looked on with their jaws gaping. It was apparent that none of them expected Lu Xuan to know how to work with barriers, and his proficiency was evidently that of a master’s.
Lu Xuan soon came before the peach tree, smelling the fine wooden qi emanating from it.
According to the Huaxian five elements, the qi of wood represented the qi of life, and that fine wooden qi leaking from the peach tree was what the Dragon relied on to train earlier.
At the moment, Lu Xuan felt as if every single one of the pores on his body were wide open, taking in the staggering qi of wood.
