This Earth Is A Bit Fearsome

“Megatron?” Lu Xuan raised an eyebrow and shouted out a name.

“How do you know the name of this Master Rabbit?”

The white rabbit was taken aback, not expecting Lu Xuan to actually know its name.

As he expected, it was this rabbit!

Despicable and timid, and with the audacity to choose such an overtly domineering name!

Megatron!

He did not know where it had seen this name, but such an awesome name was wasted on it!

At this point, Ming Yueyao had no more energy to comment on the ridiculousness of the situation. This rabbit was so utterly despicable, yet it had chosen a name that was so authoritative.

It was a complete waste of this authoritative name!

“So it is you!”

Lu Xuan continued, “How about this, I’ll give you two options. One, I can deal with you the same way I dealt with the White Ape King, and cook some spicy rabbit’s head and braised rabbit meat. Or two, you come with me obediently. My younger sister at home doesn’t have a playmate, and you can be her steed!”

Lu Xuan naturally had a reason for proposing this. Although the rabbit was a bit too cowardly, it would still become a king of monsters in the future. Although it was nicknamed the embarrassment of the kings of monsters, from what Lu Xuan knew, this rabbit was actually quite strong. In later years, when many of the all-powerful kings of monsters in the early days had been buried six feet deep, this rabbit had survived all the while. It retained its position as one of the kings of monsters, and in later years would even awaken a different kind of bloodline in its body.

It was only called the embarrassment of the kings of monsters because it was a bit too timid.

This was the perfect chance to catch it and bring it back as a companion for Lu Guoguo!

“You…” At this, the rabbit was angered. “Fine, little human kids are my favorite!”

The rabbit put a wide smile on its face, for fear that Lu Xuan would not see its goodwill. The self-esteem of a king of monsters was nowhere to be seen.

Self-esteem? What was that? Could it be eaten? Did it taste like carrots?

“Very smart of you!”

Lu Xuan nodded and said, “Come over, I’ll give you a mark, and you’ll become a part of our family. Don’t even think of escaping!”

The rabbit’s smile froze stiffly on its face, but it resigned itself to its fate in the end.

It allowed Lu Xuan to brand his mark into its soul, and it knew that from now on, its life was held in Lu Xuan’s hands.

At any time, with a single thought, Lu Xuan would be able to kill it.

Still, it had no other choice now, and could only hold tightly onto its new backer, Lu Xuan.

“You convinced a king of monsters just like that?” Ming Yueyao felt that this was a little unbelievable. All of this seemed too simple for Lu Xuan.

This king of monsters was so terrified by Lu Xuan that with the slightest coercion, it simply became like a little puppy. This was completely different from the impression she had of them as fierce monsters.

She had no choice but to admit that to some, a king of monsters was really no different from a dog by the roadside.

“Young Master, are you going to the sword formation?” The rabbit could not help but ask in a fawning way. It had no pride as a king of monsters and was acting like a servile lackey.

“That’s right. I’m very interested in the sword formation here. How much do you know about it?” Lu Xuan asked, as he did not have an impression of the sword formation in Shennongjia.

It was because, during the time when he rose in power, he had not heard about a sword formation in Shennongjia, so someone must have flattened it.

During this era in his previous life, he had been completely lost, like a dog without a home, and it took a long while before he found his way back to the path of cultivation.

In this era, many people and events were unfamiliar to him, as though they were things from a distant past.

The rabbit hopped alongside Lu Xuan, replying, “To answer the Young Master, I don’t know much about this sword formation either. This sword formation had existed from before I gained my intelligence, and other kings of monsters have cooperated in trying to break into the sword formation before, to no avail. Our guess is that there’s a cave abode of a legendary swordsman within!

“A cave abode of a legendary swordsman?” Hearing this, a sudden flash crossed Lu Xuan’s eyes. If it was a cave abode of a legendary swordsman, there could be some good stuff inside.

Still, this was within Lu Xuan’s expectations. After all, sword formations did not form naturally, and it must have been arranged by someone else.

“The other kings of monsters? Are there other kings of monsters besides yourself and the White Ape King in Shennongjia?” Lu Xuan questioned.

“Mm, aside from us, there’s a few other kings of monsters. There’s a Blue Cattle King, a Black Bear King, and a Pangolin King. I’m not too familiar with the rest of the aquatic ones!” The rabbit counted them out seriously as it answered.

Ming Yueyao could not help but be surprised by this answer. She did not think that so many kings of monsters would be living in just the forests of Shennongjia alone. It was practically becoming a kingdom of monsters.

Evidently, the ones the rabbit called kings of monsters were probably only existences at an Invincible Vajra level, and even if they were not yet at that level now, it was probably only a matter of time.

If one tried to estimate how many kings of monsters would be born in all the unpopulated regions around the country, it was too scary to imagine.

In this age, humans had found new paths forward and made rapid progress, but on this road, they shared the same starting line as these monsters, so they did not have a big head-start.

Even so, Lu Xuan reacted as though he was not surprised by this. In any case, no matter how many kings of monsters there were, to him, it was just a question of how many times he would have to strike with his blade.

The two humans and one rabbit were extraordinary existences, and they quickly made their way into the depths of the forest.

They could see fallen trees and scorched earth all around them where the forest had been bombarded.

This was probably caused by the indiscriminate bombing that occurred a few days ago. The areas protected by the sword formation were unaffected by the bombardment, but the areas not covered by the sword formation had, of course, been utterly razed.

Just as they drew close to where the sword formation was located, Lu Xuan and the others immediately felt a forceful sword qi rushing towards them, as though they were being locked in place by the sword qi.

In the distance, Lu Xuan could even see vague perceptible traces of the sword qi making its rounds.

A multitude of sword qi was patrolling in mid-air, and Lu Xuan had no doubts in his mind that if he stepped into the wrong position, he would be killed by all this sword qi.

In fact, the tens of thousands of elite troops had lost their lives here. But what surprised Lu Xuan was that in just a few days, the corpses of those tens of thousands of soldiers had vanished without a trace. The only things remaining were some clothes and weapons scattered across the ground. It was a terrifying scene to behold.

“How could this happen!” Ming Yueyao exclaimed in disbelief.

Lu Xuan said, “They were probably used as a blood sacrifice by the formation, in order to sustain the running of this formation!”

Hearing Lu Xuan’s explanation, Ming Yaoyue shivered. She felt like the thing before her was not a sword formation, but a man-eating monster.

Lu Xuan did not offer any further explanation. A golden light shimmered imperceptibly in his eyes, and this golden light pierced into the formation. In just a few moments, he had uncovered the true workings of the entire formation.

“So, that’s how it is!”

Lu Xuan immediately understood the truth behind the formation. Although he had lost the level of cultivation he had in his past life, he still had the vision of a Celestial Lord. Looking at the formation with his Delusion-breaker Eye, the situation became crystal clear to him.

“Follow me, you guys. Walk the exact same way that I walk, and don’t ever make a misstep!”
