Only Got My Martial Arts Modifier in My Old Age
Chapter 284: Chapter 148: Master Xuantan’s Fear, the Power to Affect Reality
Bi Yuanguang had completely lost his usual mayoral authority. His eyes were vacant and his pupils unfocused; he looked like a senile old man.
When Lu Fu and Pan Heng saw Master Xuantan in the center of the courtyard, along with the ten followers flanking her, they both grew instantly wary.
As a Grandmaster of Huajin, Lu Fu felt an unprecedented pressure. His intuition told him he already had one foot in hell.
In this extremely dangerous situation, Lu Fu subconsciously tightened his grip on the silk-wrapped object in his right hand.
’Who in the world is this old woman?’
Pan Heng was unaware of the shock in Lu Fu’s heart. Upon seeing the people beside Master Xuantan dressed in the signature robes of the Lifeless Lotus Sect, he raised his hand without a moment’s hesitation and pulled the trigger.
BANG—!
The gunshot was like a command. In the next instant, the hundred-plus soldiers behind him opened fire. The gunshots were deafening, a torrential rain of bullets pouring forth.
Aside from Master Xuantan, the other ten followers of the Lifeless Lotus Sect were instantly riddled with bullets.
But Master Xuantan, an old woman who looked to have one foot in the grave, erupted with ghostly speed.
Her figure blurred, transforming into an afterimage as she weaved and dodged through the dense hail of bullets.
The bullets that struck Master Xuantan didn’t tear through flesh and blood as they had with her followers. Instead, they ricocheted off her as if striking a thick steel plate.
The Lifeless Lotus Sect was, after all, the sworn enemy of the Yellow Heaven Corps in the southern part of the Daxia New Country. Naturally, they possessed a Technique on par with the Yellow Heaven Primordial Qi Technique.
Every one of these fiends from the Lifeless Lotus Sect had cultivated the Lifeless Lotus Seal.
It was said that cultivating it to the highest level granted a Horizontal Cultivation Technique similar to spirit possession, rendering one impervious to blades and fire. Ordinary weapons couldn’t leave so much as a scratch.
Pan Heng’s expression changed drastically at the bizarre sight. His pupils contracted, and he yelled out almost instinctively, "Elder Fu, watch out!"
The strange old woman was heading straight for Lu Fu!
Lu Fu’s eyes narrowed. The layers of silk wrapped around the long object in his right hand were instantly blasted apart by the Qi erupting from his body.
The silk shredded into countless tiny scraps, revealing the true form of the Wisteria Spirit Staff.
The moment Lu Fu gripped the staff, a fleeting purple light flashed across the Wisteria Spirit Staff, like a pair of violet eyes set in the wood, coldly staring ahead.
The purple light reflected in the pupils of Master Xuantan, ten meters away. Her once-confident smile froze on her face.
For a Grandmaster of Divine Intent like Master Xuantan, ten meters was but a single step. In that short distance, she could have easily crushed the throat of the Grandmaster of Huajin before her.
But Master Xuantan couldn’t take that step. In the instant the purple light entered her eyes, she saw an unbelievable vision.
The phantom of a colossal, faceless old man appeared right before her.
Master Xuantan stopped dead in her tracks. A bone-chilling cold shot up her spine.
’What the hell is this? Something that can affect my Divine Will in the physical world... Isn’t that a power only seen in the legendary Realm of the Manifest Saint True Monarch?’
