This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

The Jiao Dragon Queen was gigantic, laying above the treasure vault like a small hill.

Below the Jiao Dragon Queen, Lu Xuan seemed like a tiny ant. From her eyes, Lu Xuan could see contempt and indifference.

To the Jiao Dragon Queen, Lu Xuan was probably a trivial issue.

He was just an ordinary human thief stealing from the head of the Jiao Dragon clan. He truly was courting death.

“I don’t know which human sect you belong to, but all of you will have to pay for your actions, and your entire sect will die! Your beliefs and ideology will also cease to exist!”

The Jiao Dragon Queen said coldly. She had assumed Lu Xuan to be a master of a newly-risen cultivation Holy Land on the Tempest Continent.

But he was just a human brat who didn’t know his limits.

He may have been famous in the human world, but this was the deep sea, not human territory.

“Talk is useless, come for me!”

Lu Xuan shouted.

As soon as Lu Xuan’s voice reached her, the Jiao Dragon Queen slammed her tail like a steel whip, swiftly and quickly, cleaving through the waves.

*HUM*

Due to the sheer strength of her body, this one strike was enough to knock out cultivators in the early stage of the Consolidation Realm.

Even Li Shou would not have dared to face such an attack.

But Lu Xuan did, and went on the offensive.

*CLANG*

A sound similar to the collision of metals reverberated throughout, like the ripples of a thousand waves.

Lu Xuan took a couple of steps back, but was otherwise unaffected.

Based on physical attributes alone, he was not inferior to the current Jiao Dragon Queen, but his skill was not comparable to hers, who was already in the late-stage of the Consolidation Realm.

This however was already a feat beyond all expectations. Lu Xuan’s physical body was so strong that the eyes of the Jiao Dragon Queen revealed her surprise.

“Not too shabby. It’s no wonder you dare to steal from our Jiao Dragon Palace!”

The Jiao Dragon Queen glanced at Lu Xuan, and the battle broke out once again.

But this time, it was Lu Xuan who was the first to attack. Lu Xuan held the Geng Metal Sword, and with a wave, filled the entire sky with sword qi.

The Jiao Dragon Queen initially did not pay any heed to Lu Xuan’s sword qi, but she quickly realized that she had made a mistake.

Although these flashes of sword qi were nothing compared to her gigantic stature, they held great power and could leave wounds despite her sturdy body.

The scales on her body were incredibly strong, and could even resist the attack of a middle-stage Consolidation Realm master without the slightest effect. Even an attack from an ordinary master in the late stage of the Consolidation Realm hardly posed any danger to her.

The Jiao Dragon Queen had seen in her awakened bloodline the memory this kind of metal. It was called Geng Metal, and could not be found in the deep sea. Weapons made from this metal had unparalleled sharpness.

She had been dismissive about this so-called unparalleled sharpness. There were many metals described in this manner, and technically, most metals would be sharp after being refined into weapons.

Furthermore, sharpness was just a relative concept. Against her powerful body, any sharp weapon was a mere joke.

But now, the sword qi that Lu Xuan released had completely exceeded her expectations. She knew that she had to do something about this situation.

Her massive size was a great advantage when facing ordinary people, but against Lu Xuan, it was a major weakness.

Lu Xuan could strike her even with his eyes closed.

The Jiao Dragon Queen let out a painful scream, and immediately transformed into her human form – a middle-aged woman with an ordinary face in her 30s or 40s.

This was on head whip in her hand, and with every swing, a faint dragon roar could be heard.

By now, several wounds were faintly visible on her body, and flesh had been gouged out. But in just a short moment, she had almost fully recovered.

The physique of the Jiao Dragon species was also very robust, and Lu Xuan’s own skill was not enough to cut deeper wounds. After the sword qi dissipated, she would already be close to full recovery very soon.

After all, Lu Xuan’s skill was still slightly below the Jiao Dragon Queen’s. This was Lu Xuan’s biggest disadvantage so far.

“Human, you have thoroughly gotten on my nerves. I will deal you a fate worse than death!”

The Jiao Dragon Queen gritted her teeth and said.

*HUM*

The long whip flew from her hand, and in a mere instant, it turned into a long dragon, whizzing towards Lu Xuan.

“Perfect chance!”

Lu Xuan was completely fearless and rushed forward with the Geng Metal Sword in hand. The strength of his physical body was not inferior to that of the Jiao Dragon Queen, and therefore he was totally unafraid of the her.

He could do nothing to the Jiao Dragon Queen, but the Jiao Dragon Queen was also unable to deal damage on him.

Neither side had enough power to send the other to the netherworld, creating an ambivalent balance.

In fact, the more she fought against Lu Xuan, the more the Jiao Dragon Queen felt aggrieved. Lu Xuan fought freely and with ease, but she was being attacked to the point where she could hardly move.

Sword techniques, in Lu Xuan’s hands, were executed to perfection, and she had never encountered such a terrifying foe.

Although the Jiao Dragon Queen could be considered a veteran in battle and had a history of more than a thousand years of warfare, compared with Lu Xuan, she paled in comparison.

The techniques carried out by the Jiao Dragon Queen were mere motions, while the swordsmanship displayed by Lu Xuan was close to the way of the sword.

She felt extremely uncomfortable being oppressed by sheer strength, and even his physicality did not lose to her. She had never encountered such an opponent. Among the fierce beasts that fight in the deep sea, other than those who could instinctively use water magics, almost all others relied on the power of their physical body in close combat.

And among the many beasts of the deep sea, the physique of the Jiao Dragon race was matchless and pretty much invincible.

Even if there had been powerful enemies, they had all been eradicated one after another by the Jiao Dragon Palace over the years.

But now, she had encountered an even more abnormal monster.

Lu Xuan had gradually become a monster in human skin in her eyes.

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

“Boom!”

The collisions between the two sides shook the entire Dragon Palace. There were more than ten powerful fierce beasts swimming around, but they dared not approach the vicinity.

This kind of battle was one they simply couldn’t participate in.

Needless to say, the ordinary guards of the Dragon Palace directly died from the resulting reverberations.

Neither Lu Xuan nor the Jiao Dragon Queen paid attention to the guards of the Dragon Palace who had simply once been ordinary deep-sea beasts.

It was only natural for Lu Xuan to not care, while the Jiao Dragon Queen only treated them as cannon fodder. In the worse case scenario, they could simply find another batch to substitute them in the future.

The really important assets for the Jiao Dragon Palace were the Consolidation Realm monster kings gathered from all over.

The battle had reached its climax. Lu Xuan had been knocked back multiple times, but he simply patted the dust off his body and continued the battle like nothing happened.

However, no one could imagine that in a moment of carelessness, Lu Xuan suddenly appeared in front of a Consolidation Realm monster.
