This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

It was a fear that shook it to its core. Unwittingly, it had felt a chill run down its spine. As if it was a prey cornered by its predator, it could feel its soul trembling in fear.

In a split second, the Cambion swung its blade again.

Swoosh!

With a slash at blinding speed, its blade had split open the universal dimension. There was now a crack—the universe wasn’t strong enough to withstand such a blow. The devil qi spattering out from the blade had torn everything apart.

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing came. The dimensional crumbling slash had landed on Lu Xuan, sending sparks of golden flying. Lu Xuan’s Shield of Great Aether had blocked its attack.

“The Invincible Vajra… How did you do this?” The Cambion had asked with its eyes wide open. It was unbelievable—how had Lu Xuan blocked its attack so easily? What a monster! Throughout its life, it had fought so many powerful enemies. Yet, none of them could have compared with the elite in front of it. Casually and relaxed, his Shield of Great Aether had stopped its full-blown attack.

“Xuan, stop interfering. Let me handle this. I’ll kill him with my own hands!” Lu Shanshan’s voice came from afar. Her body had almost recovered in a short period. The Cambion might have caught her off guard just now, but as a legendary elite of the Immortal Realm, her ability to recover was unmissable. She was much stronger than the Cambion as she had been cultivating by absorbing immortal qi all these years, while it had only been absorbing ordinary devil qi. The standard of energy absorbed by both sides was apples and oranges.

Lu Shanshan had the authentic body of an Immortal, while the Cambion had a mock-up. Even if it had been staying put in this realm for hundreds of years, it still had no advantage against Lu Shanshan, who had only advanced to the Immortal Realm a few years ago.

“Alright!” Lu Xuan nodded, and he stopped pursuing the Cambion.

Instantly, the Cambion had felt cold chills running down his back. Shoot, it thought. Shifting into a streak of light, it flew into the distance, wanting to flee the battlefield. The boy in front of it was too terrorizing, and it had never experienced this kind of fear until then.

Bang!

The Cambion had rammed its head into a hard surface. Only then did it realize that a spatial barrier had appeared in front of it. As it looked around, it realized that countless translucent barricades were forming a giant spherical barrier within a range of more than thousands of kilometers around it. There were only two inside the blockade—one was the Cambion, and the other was Lu Shanshan.

No matter how thick-witted it was, it had understood that the enormous spatial barrier had isolated their current space into an independent one from the outside world. The only person who had such an ability and power to spare was the white-robed youth in front of it. Though it wasn’t sure where he came from, there was one thing it was clear about—the young man in front of it isn’t any ordinary person. He had done this because he had listened to the human girl’s words—she had wanted to kill it on her own. Hence, the white-robed youth had helped set up an enclosed battlefield.

At the thought of it, fury flashed across its face—it had become the filthy humans’ plaything, their stepping stone. “So you want to trap me in here? Impossible!” The Cambion roared aloud and swung his blade downward, directly slashing onto the transparent barrier.

Clang!

Another crashing sound rang—its attack wasn’t even able to leave a single scratch on the barrier.

The Cambion tried to regain its composure. It had been through hundreds of battles, and it knew what it had gotten itself in. The person who had the barrier set up had a strength that had far surpassed his, so it had no chances of breaking through this spatial barrier—indeed, the white-robed boy had a horrifying power. Again, the Cambion was astounded by how illogical such a phenomenal elite would have been born on Earth, a remote and desolate small world.

It turned his gaze to Lu Shanshan. It knew that even if it did manage to kill Lu Shanshan, he still might not be able to escape. But, if he hadn’t killed Lu Shanshan, he wouldn’t even have had one of the millionth chances to survive. It was determined to slaughter her, though it knew the white-robed boy might come to her rescue before it could do so. Yet, that was the opening it was waiting for—it might still have a chance to escape then.

All of its odds of surviving depended on the human girl. If it had defeated her, it might get an opportunity to flee. If not, it was sure that death was waiting for him. Once it had pieced things together, it had calmed down, its pair of cold, pitch-black eyes fixed at Lu Shanshan.

Lu Shanshan had come to the same interpretation of their current situation—Lu Xuan had constructed a barrier around them for their battle, preventing the Cambion from escaping. It was neck or nothing.

With both sides realizing this, a ferocious battle had once again erupted in the next instant. Both sides were moving at an extreme speed, like black and gold light crossing each other. Every moment, they had traded thousands of blows, and it was too swift to be seen by any commoners. Only those who were in the Immortal Realm were able to observe the battle.

Lu Xuan’s expression was cold, his eyes set on the two. They were moving fast as elites of the Immortal Realm, but it was slow in the eyes of Lu Xuan. With ease, he could keep up with their movements. As he turned on the Delusion-breaker Eye, the motions of the two had slowed down.

On the battlefield, Lu Shanshan had, too, activated the Delusion-breaker Eye, which was a specialty of the born Taoism aptitude—the Cambion was now moving in a slower motion from its speed, and her body could keep up with its current pace. Her brain had converted every of its movement into basic information that was gushing through her mind. Right now, she had finally understood that she could contain the Cambion’s sword technique into her laws. Perhaps she should put it this way: she had improvised a new set of sword techniques based on her own.

Laws were the embodiment of the Will of the world. Those who had followed them would prosper, and those who had gone against them would perish. If an Immortal Realm elite had wanted to unleash his cultivation to the maximum, he had to follow the laws, not letting the laws acting as they desired. It was the difference in the realms.

With her wisdom, Lu Shanshan’s movements became violent, her sword faintly glowing in golden rays. When her enlightenment came in the middle of the battle, she could suppress the Cambion immediately, gaining the upper hand.
