Sword Spirit Chapter 161

Chapter 161: Aftermath

Although his mind was spinning, Lu Xuan’s actions hadn’t slowed down at all, instead they had increased in speed by a bit, causing it to be harder and harder for Xu Wen Yang to block.

Xu Wen Yang was the first person that could completely block his Blinking Sword Skill when he went all out.

Although Blinking Sword Skill was powerful, in the end, it was only an upper Huang grade martial skill. It was more than enough to deal with ordinary martial artists, but when dealing with someone like Xu Wen Yang whose strength surpassed his own, and also for martial artists that weren’t weak in combat, it wasn’t quite enough since it lacked the ability to give an overwhelming advantage. It was most useful when both sides’ strengths weren’t too far apart.

Seeing Lu Xuan’s moves were more and more anxious, although blocking was difficult, Xu Wen Yang became more and more excited. From his perspective, Lu Xuan’s actions were obviously because his yuan force wasn’t enough and was anxious to determine the victor.

As long as he could endure for a bit longer, Lu Xuan would definitely be no longer able to fight back. Even if his sword skills were faster, without any yuan force behind them, then what threat did it pose?

Just as Xu Wen Yang was assuming that his victory was guaranteed, a few spirit runes were silently pulled out from Lu Xuan’s storage ring and held in his hand.

With spirit runes in hand, he no longer delayed. His figured flash and he changed position once again and attacked once again. Xu Wen Yang was long since prepared. He reacted by fiercely chopping with his blade, expecting it to go the same way it had the previous few times, which was forcing Lu Xuan to retreat.

But in this moment, Lu Xuan’s left hand suddenly stretched out and he threw out an item. It was a spirit rune scroll!

Lu Xuan’s small movement naturally didn’t escape Xu Wen Yang’s eyes. Although he didn’t know what Lu Xuan had thrown out, that didn’t stop him from reacting against it.

He had good control over his strength. He flicked his wrist and quickly chopped out with his blade. Blade light flashed and perfectly struck this spirit rune.

Receiving the blade qi’s attack, this spirit rune scroll’s Thunder Fire Rune’s rune structure was immediately destroyed. The explosive power contained in the Thunder Fire Rune immediately burst out!

There was the slight sound of thunder and a stream of fire light exploded out in front of Xu Wen Yang. Enormous attack force was unreservedly unleashed!

With Lu Xuan’s strength, the power drawn out of the Thunder Fire Rune couldn’t be considered large, only comparable to an ordinary body refining seventh level martial artist’s full force attack. If it was under normal circumstances, most likely, even if he forcefully resisted this attack, Xu Wen Yang wouldn’t necessarily have any problems, but currently, he had his guard down when it came out, giving him a surprise.

He hadn’t been expecting that after chopping with his blade, there would be such an explosive attack. Even if this attack’s strength was only equivalent to a full force attack of a body refining seventh level martial artist, it was still enough to give him a huge headache.

Caught off-guard, the powerful attack force hit Xu Wen Yang causing his body to be uncontrollably pushed back two steps. The rhythm that had been maintained up until now was finally disrupted!

However, Lu Xuan’s attack wasn’t limited to just that. As the Thunder Fire Rune exploded, in the blink of an eye, another five similar Thunder Fire Runes were thrown out at the same time. Without needing Xu Wen Yang to attack it, Lu Xuan’s spirit power scattered and directly caused the five Thunder Fire Runes to simultaneously explode!

There was the loud sound of rumbling as the five Thunder Fire Runes simultaneously exploded. The power was much stronger than the first time. Xu Wen Yang who hadn’t recovered from the first attack continued to get hit. No longer able to stand stably, a powerful attack force directly sent him flying!

Xu Wen Yang who had been sent flying had a look of shock flash through his eyes. What attack was this! It had such an enormous power! Especially those last five Thunder Fire Rune continual explosions. Its power wasn’t just a simple one plus one equals two, instead they built upon each other. Xu Wen Yang was unprepared to receive so many body refining seventh level martial artist full force attacks, which he most likely wouldn’t be able to receive under normal circumstances, much less under these circumstances.

Currently he was not only in the air unable to summon any strength, the Thunder Fire Runes’ explosive force had caused his qi and blood to churn. For a time, he couldn’t mobilize yuan force.

How could Lu Xuan miss such a chance. He was waiting for this exact moment!

Rushing Thunder Flash activated once again. His entire person flashed to Xu Wen Yang in the blink of an eye. Powerful sword intent once again burst out, unreservedly pouring towards Xu Wen Yang. Receiving the sword intent’s suppression, Xu Wen Yang’s situation which originally hadn’t been good, became like snow with frost without a doubt. He felt like he couldn’t even steadily hold the blade in his hand anymore.

However, whether or not he could hold it steady already no longer mattered because his life was about to be ended at Lu Xuan’s hands!

In that time when sword intent came out, Lu Xuan also unleashed Blinking Sword Skill to its limit, continually thrusting multiple times, aiming at the flying Xu Wen Yang.

Seeing Lu Xuan thrusting with his long sword, Xu Wen Yang’s pupils instantly widened. He struggled to try and wield the weapon his his hand to block these sword strikes, but currently, he didn’t have that energy to spare.

Blinking Sword Skill’s speed was so fast that Xu Wen Yang didn’t even have the time to blink before Lu Xuan’s attack had already landed on him. There was the sound of “shua shua” as the long sword in Lu Xuan’s hand punctured Xu Wen Yang’s body multiple times in a row. Dots of red immediately started to seep out of his wrists and ankles.

Without a doubt, his hand and feet tendons had already all been severed by Lu Xuan. Now Xu Wen Yang could no longer hold onto his weapon and the blade fell out of his hands.

Then, Lu Xuan once again released force and once again thrust his sword, piercing towards Xu Wen Yang’s dantian!

The current Xu Wen Yang no longer had even the slightest ability to counter and could only watch Lu Xuan’s sword stroke pierced precisely towards his dantian!

Feeling the ice cold long sword piercing his body, Xu Wen Yang’s eyes flashed with pain. His vision began to dull. His hand and feet tendons having been severed, there was still a chance to getting back, but once his dantian was destroyed, his would become a good-for-nothing! To him, this was even worse than death!

From Lu Xuan exploding the Thunder Fire Runes to piercing Xu Wen Yang’s dantian, it had all only taken a moment to transpire.

Xu Wen Yang who had been sent flying by the Thunder Fire Runes up until now finally hit the ground hard with a muffled bang. However, before being sent flying, Xu Wen Yang had still been the overall standings number one Xu Wen Yang, but after landing on the ground, he had already become the good-for-nothing Xu Wen Yang!

After falling to the ground, Xu Wen Yang’s eyes were large and wide, staring at the ceiling, as if he simply couldn’t believe the changes that had occurred in the blink of an eye. He had actually become a good-for-nothing? In the moments just before he had been suppressing Lu Xuan, but afterwards, his dantian was already broken, his tendons severed. He couldn’t process that difference between before and after.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xu Wen Yang slowly recovered his bearings. Seeing Lu Xuan had already walked to the side of his body looking down on him from up high, his lips curled into a ruthless smile.

“I actually lose to your hands? I am the overall standings number one person Xu Wen Yang. I am the most powerful in the inner sect! You’re just a person who hasn’t even joined the sect for half a year, how could you beat me!” Xu Wen Yang spoke in a hysterical manner, seeming to have gone crazy.

But no matter how he roared, he couldn’t change the established facts. He had been made useless, completely and utterly useless!

“Since you chose to provoke me, then you had best prepare to pay the price.” Lu Xuan looked upon Xu Wen Yang’s figure sprawled on the ground with cold eyes without any sympathy. Kindness to his enemies was just being cruel to himself.

If he hadn’t made it in time, most likely the miserable one would be Lin Xin Yi. When he had decided to rush over here, Lu Xuan had sentenced Xu Wen Yang to death. No matter what, he had to die. Even if he couldn’t kill him with his strength, in Lu Xuan’s storage ring, there were still two five star spirit rune scrolls. After pulling them out, it would be enough to demolish and leave Xu Wen Yang without a corpse or bones, however, since he could save it, naturally it was better if he didn’t use it. Using a five star spirit rune scroll in order to take care of a mere Xu Wen Yang was truly too wasteful.

Hearing this, Xu Wen Yang pitifully smiled: “Make your move. Didn’t you want to kill me? Then kill me. Even as a ghost, I won’t forgive you!”

He didn’t speak any words pleading for forgiveness. He knew that it would be unrealistic, Moreover, with his current state, dying would be better. To him, living would be torture.

Lu Xuan slightly hesitated before quickly swishing the long sword in his hand. Sword light flash and a line of blood appeared across Xu Wen Yang’s neck, killing him.

He originally wanted to torture Xu Wen Yang, but fussing over a dead man was unnecessary, so he gave Xu Wen Yang a simple one.

Moreover, good and evil will always be rewarded. Martial artists stressed on the cycle of cause and effect. The actions of yesterday would become the results of today. If it wasn’t for Xu Wen Yang first molesting Lin Xin Yi, Lu Xuan wouldn’t have become enemies with him. If Xu Wen Yang hadn’t kidnapped Lin Xin Yi and attempted to conspire, he wouldn’t be dead here right now.

Since he had now killed Xu Wen Yang and severed his worries, then this matter had also come to a close. If he insisted on torturing Xu Wen Yang, then Lu Xuan’s inhumane acts would most likely lead to something on another day.

Of course, this was under the situation that Lu Xuan had seen Lin Xin Yi was unharmed. If Lin Xin Yi had anything bad happen to her, Xu Wen Yang wanting to die so peacefully would have been absolutely impossible. If he didn’t torture him to death, Lu Xuan wouldn’t be Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan hadn’t considered the consequences of having Xu Wen Yang’s death. Although the aftermath would be heavy, Lu Xuan didn’t have any regrets.

Killing within the sect was a big crime, and also Lu Xuan had killed seven people in one go which also included the fist faction’s Elder Sun’s last remaining grandson Long Tian and the overall standing’s number one Xu Wen Yang. There was definite proof. Most likely, even the three sword faction great elders wouldn’t be able to protect him.

Other than escaping, Lu Xuan couldn’t thinking of any other roads to walk. Although no one had come to the blade faction residence during this time, he had taken such large actions that someone would definitely be alerted. Perhaps currently the sword faction and blade faction both had people coming this way.  If he wanted to escape he’d have to do it soon.
