Chapter 320 - A Sword Taking on Lightning Bolts (1/2)

“So, you set us up too then?” Cain looked at Lu Xuan with a wary expression as he asked.

Lu Xuan snickered as he replied, “I was once a nobody, and I’ve been met with countless powerful enemies on my journey of cultivation. I had also resorted to whatever means I had at my disposal out of desperation. But do you people really think I’m still who I once was?

“You lot really think highly of yourselves, don’t you? Do you really think I need to even lay out traps just to snare the lot of you?” Lu Xuan’s voice shook the air around him, making him look extremely imposing. The effect was so pronounced that one could hear him clearly despite being in a blizzard.

“You really know how to talk big.” Cain laughed coldly as he heard Lu Xuan talk.

The Dark Spellcaster Emperor was unable to sit around anymore after hearing that, interrupting their chatter right away. “Enough chit-chat. We’ll just have to kill him and be done with it. I’m gonna make a specimen out of his dead body. I’m really interested in looking into just how is he different from common humans.”

He then performed a seal with his hands right away. A frighteningly bolt of black lightning came blasting from above right onto where Lu Xuan stood.

Boom!

A huge rumble was heard as the black lightning cleaved through the air, enveloping Lu Xuan’s entire being.

Lu Xuan was shrouded in a golden dragon construct in a split second.

The lightning bolt came crashing down onto the dragon construct but was quickly reduced to smoke as soon as the attack connected with that golden dragon.

The Dark Spellcaster Emperor was dumbfounded by what he just saw. He totally did not expect Lu Xuan’s Shield of Vigor was that resilience.

People who trained in the dark arts or dark beings alike were very wary of the power of lightning.

That was because the power of lightning was of the extreme Yang end in the Yin-Yang spectrum, which made it something that could completely overwhelm the dark art practitioners or dark beings.

However, things were different in that Dark Spellcaster Emperor’s case, as he acquired a way through some encounter, for training in such dark lightning arts.

That dark lightning bolt attack was the complete antithesis of the usual lightning, as it was at the extreme Yin end of the spectrum instead. Anyone who was hit by such an attack would have ended up encroached by dark powers, even if they were to be of Airborne Realm and if they somehow managed to survive.

It was just like a blot on a piece of white paper, which was near impossible to do so. As such, that attack itself struck fear into the minds of many common cultivators.

However, he had never seen the likes of Lu Xuan, who took the attack unperturbed.

“What? This is all you’ve got? It seems like the title of ‘Dark Spellcaster Emperor’ isn’t much of a big deal after all.”

Lu Xuan then continued while looking at the other man, “If this is all you people can bring to the table today, I’m afraid the Covenant of Darkness will no longer exist from here on out.

“There shall no longer be a Covenant of Darkness on Earth, starting from today.”

Lu Xuan then grabbed at the air as soon as he finished. The Dragonslayer appeared in his hand. He was finally getting serious about killing those before him—the members of the Covenant of Darkness, who went out of their way to set him up and kill him. He was about to bring his strongest means to get rid of the covenant.

Clang!

The Dragonslayer shot to the air as it rang furiously, shooting into the air like a beam of a rainbow.

The Dark Spellcaster Emperor smirked and broke out a scepter in his hand.

The scepter was fashioned in the form of a lightning bolt. What was different was that the bolt of lightning was pitch-black.

The Dark Spellcaster Emperor then extended his scepter and brought about a bolt of lightning about as thick as a bowl’s diameter, blasting at Lu Xuan right away.

Lu Xuan simply retaliated with a frightening blast of sword aura, which shot into the air, cleaving that bolt of black lightning apart.

While the lightning bolt attack was extremely fast, Lu Xuan was by no means slow as well.

Boom!
