novelUsing Invincible Vajras as Whetstones

He finally saw the uniform of the Amaterasu-gumi.
However, Lu Xuan's gaze remained just as severe, as that proved his speculation after all—the Japanese were indeed after Lu Shanshan.
He was unable to keep calm at that thought.
"Who goes there?" That outer-circle member of the Amaterasu-gumi on a scouting mission was just barely able to react in time when he saw a figure zipping past. That member's head was sent flying in less than a second.
They were unable to tell before their death who had killed them.
Or rather, it was more apt to say that the area they never expected the area they were in was still a dangerous one. No one would have expected someone powerful enough to kill Deity Level beings with a single hit, was around.
Lu Xuan found out, after barging into the area, that there was a group of people attacking a valley. All of the attackers were wearing uniforms of the Amaterasu-gumi, and all of them were formidable fighters.
However, all of them were armed differently. Some carried katanas, and they were evidently masters of the sword, blasting long, huge sword auras with every single swing of their blades.
There were also powerful onmyoji in their midst, capable of summoning shikigamis. Then there were spellcasters as well, casting some unknown spells.
All of them were basically the best of the best to be found within Japan, and only the Japanese government would be capable of gathering such a massive group of formidable fighters. This was something that was beyond even the Amaterasu-gumi itself.
The barrier in the valley was getting increasingly shaky as they continued to attack the place.
Lu Xuan then took a closer look at the person inside the barrier. It was none other than his sister.
He was finally relieved seeing the barrier still being intact and his sister in one piece.
Boom!
That barrier, which was on the verge of collapse, to begin with, collapsed all of a sudden at the moment.
"Kill her!" the leading Japanese shouted, and all of those Japanese fighters pounced on her right there and then.
Lu Shanshan put her hands in front of her, vibrating with raging Spiritual Qi. It was only then that Lu Xuan found that his sister had actually made a breakthrough into Invincible Vajra Level before he knew it.
While it was possible that it had not been long since she made the breakthrough, she was more than enough to surprise Lu Xuan.
Lu Shanshan's physicality was of no difference to his. Both siblings had an in-born taoism aptitude, which meant that they were capable of making progress at breakneck speeds once they began cultivating.
It only took her months to reach Invincible Vajra Level, and she was every bit on par with those who made it that far due to having ample cultivation resources and legacies at their disposal.
Lu Shanshan fired a fearsome punch, landing, at lightning speed, on the chest of one of the Japanese fighter charging at her.
That fighter shrieked and was sent flying in an instant, crashing to the ground in a shamble shortly after and confirmed dead on the spot.
She was already capable of holding her own against Invincible Vajra Level fighters even before she became an Invincible Vajra. Having become one at that moment, one could imagine just how terrifyingly powerful the force behind that punch could have been.
Common Deity Level beings had been incapable of taking her on even back then, and at that moment, it was like she was capable of killing one deity with just a single punch.
More Japanese fighters continued to pounce at her.
"She actually became something, eh!" a Japanese fighter among the lot, who was wearing a mask, commented with a muffled voice.
He was the one who pursued Lu Shanshan before, and she clashed with him back then, but that was all there was to it.
However, she actually managed to continue training as she was being pursued. She even managed to make a breakthrough while on the run.
She really, truly became something.
That Japanese fighter was able to tell that she was only about 15 or 16 years of age, and she was definitely some formidable one from Huaxia, no matter how one looked at it.
If she were to be allowed to escape, she would definitely become a grave threat to the Great Empire of Japan in the future.
That fighter burst with his powers at that thought, charging at her like a bolt of lightning.
A shocking wave of sword aura was brought down on her as he charged.
Lu Shanshan reacted to the attack right away and retaliated with a single punch. The fearsome force of the punch clashed right onto the incoming sword aura.
Boom!
A huge rumble was heard, and that Japanese fighter brought a flurry of attacks onto her right afterward.
He, too, was an Invincible Vajra Level fighter, so it was within reason for her not to be able to make short work of him, like how she did all the other Deity level ones before.
They actually ended up in a deadlock for a while there, and all the other fighters from the Amaterasu-gumi were unable to even get between those two.
The clash between Invincible Vajras came with aftershocks that proved incredibly threatening to all of them. As such, they were unable to do more than just watching the fight from afar while doing the best they were able to prevent her escape.
"You'd die here today, Huaxian woman!"
That Amaterasu-gumi fighter attacked in a frenzy with his katana.
However, he was surprised to find that she was actually accumulating combat experience as she fought him.
He had initially been able to completely overwhelm Lu Shanshan due to his vast, age-old combat experience. But he quickly found that she became able to handle him before long.
That was the sign of her becoming gradually capable of handling powers exclusive to Invincible Vajras. In his case, it took one whole month before he became able to do so.
Yet, Lu Shanshan actually became capable of such feats while she was in combat. He was able to imagine just how frightening the inherent talent of that Huaxian woman was.
"I absolutely can't let her leave this place alive."
Lu Xuan, who was watching the fight from afar, was in no hurry to make a move.
Her physicality was such that she was able to eclipse many veteran Invincible Vajras by the fact that she was already an Invincible Vajra alone, regardless if she just made the breakthrough not long ago.
With the addition of the Tianxian Fist that Lu Xuan imparted to her, which was one of the topmost martial arts to be found, she truly was no longer in danger.
That Japanese fighter, on the other hand, became something like a whetstone to Lu Shanshan instead.
That was a very rare opportunity, and that single ordeal alone would save her considerable amount of time in honing her powers.
That fighter from the Amaterasu-gumi was finally infuriated after being unable to take her down even though he had fought her for quite a while. He finally realized just how difficult she was.
He then shouted, "All of you, get her! We absolutely can't let this Huaxian woman leave this place alive!"
The many outer-circle members of the group acted as if they just received orders from a higher-up right after hearing that, pouncing onto her again without a second thought.
Lu Shanshan was no longer able to free herself sufficiently to handle that particular fighter after being tied down by so many others from the Amaterasu-gumi. Things became dire in an instant.
A piercing sound was heard from afar all of a sudden.
Flashes of the blade were seen zipping about, heading straight from the outer-circle members of the group.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
All of them shrieked right before they ended up dead.
They all died by a blade on the spot, unable to do anything at all.
A figure was seen as the flashes blazed. Lu Shanshan looked up, feeling very surprised and pleased. It was her brother, just in the nick of time.
"Bro!" Lu Shanshan shouted happily.
"Don't get too excited just yet. We'll talk after he's dead, " Lu Xuan replied.
