Chapter 238 (2/2)

An old Shen family elder who was originally sitting on the chair with squinted eyes suddenly opened his eyes when he heard those words. A pure light not contaminated by filth shone from his eyes.

“Utter nonsense!” The Shen family elder glared at Duan Yuyang fiercely.

Duan Yuyang felt a strong sense of oppression pressing down on him; he almost couldn’t stop himself from spitting out blood.

“You’re using your strength to bully the weak!” There were as many magic treasures on Yan Tianhen as there were hairs on a cow. He naturally couldn’t feel this oppressive force but immediately understood what was happening when he saw that Duan Yuyang’s expression didn’t look right. He exploded, pointing to that old man as he cursed, “Such shamelessness! Picking only the weak to bully.”

Duan Yuyang had spoken up first because he wanted to block the verbal onslaught for Yan Tianhen.

A Shen family member shouted, “Don’t be rude!”

Yan Tianhen countered, “You guys were unreasonable first.”

A verbal argument wasn’t very useful. Just then, a young man with disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes stormed in from outside. He held a sword in his hand and immediately gritted his teeth when he saw the people inside the hall. “Who among you hurt my Didi?”

Yan Tianhen was startled. “He has only himself to blame!”

Shen Yujue howled, “Give me your life!” and raised his sword, chopping down at Yan Tianhen.

How could Lin Xuanzhi allow him to succeed?!

He raised his right hand, and a longswordand fell right into his clean and pearl-white hand, as though it had grown eyes of its own.

Huangfu Jin stared blankly, then raised his hand to touch the now-empty scabbard on his waist. His heart suddenly felt cold — d.a.m.n, Lin Xuanzhi, this person who took without asking first, actually hooked away his sword.

Huangfu Jin almost couldn’t stop himself from rus.h.i.+ng up, but Bai Yichen raised a hand and blocked him with a stick of green bamboo.

Bai Yichen spoke, “Wait and see first.”

Huangfu Jin gritted his teeth but didn’t move.

Wenqing was slender and long, its two ends slightly wide and the middle slim, like the slender waist of a peerless beauty, lithe and alluring. It looked soft, supple, and weak, but instead was hiding a blade inside the cotton, carrying steel within its softness.

Lin Xuanzhi’s sword thrust out. It clearly didn’t have very strong Qi but directly broke through Shen Yujue’s few sword strokes.

Shen Yujue’s expression was as gloomy as a ghost’s. When he saw that his first strike didn’t land, his next strike was already covered with astral winds.

Lin Xuanzhi didn’t attack; only when Shen Yujue attacked did he slowly make a few light movements with his sword. Nevertheless, Shen Yujue’s sword techniques were completely broken through with a few light strikes time and time again.

Huangfu Jin originally wanted to rush up and take back his treasured sword, but slowly sank into deep thought when he saw Lin Xuanzhi’s moves. His gaze stared at Lin Xuanzhi’s every action without blinking, as if he was afraid of missing a good play.

Lin Xuanzhi took retreat as his advance and exchanged ten moves with Shen Yujue.

After ten moves, the sword in Shen Yujue’s hand was actually flicked away by another sword and sent flying.

This was the sound of the sword falling onto the ground.

It wasn’t only the sword that fell, Shen Yujue’s face also fell.

Shen Yujue was stunned.

The Shen family was also stunned.

Ren Fuyao raised his eyebrows as his fingers gently twirled the string of chrysoberyl around in his hand.

Duan Yuyang clapped and praised, “Good sword technique! Truly wonderful!”

Lin Xuanzhi didn’t even turn his head as he lightly threw the sword in his hand back, and Wenqing exquisitely fell back into Huangfu Jin’s scabbard.

Looking at Huangfu Jin again, his expression was already full of conflicting emotions. He didn’t know whether he should continue to badger Lin Xuanzhi for not asking before taking stuff or whether he should marvel at the fact that there were actually people of the same age with such profound attainments in swordsmans.h.i.+p in this world.

Slowly, his face became livid.

The sword that Leng Jixue gifted him actually recognized another man as its master, f.u.c.k.

Yan Tianhen scooted over to Lin Xuanzhi’s side, grinning from ear to ear. “It seems like Dage’s body really has recovered.”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded softly, then turned and spoke to Shen Yujue, who was clearly still in a stupor, “Gentleman Shen, you can speak if you have something to say. Why the need to draw your sword?”

Shen Yujue seemed like he still had a lot he wanted to say, but at this time he couldn’t get even a single word out.

After a long time where his face alternated between being blue and ashen pale, Shen Yujue spoke in a low voice, “Don’t think that I’ll drop the matter about you hurting my Didi just because your attainment in swordsmans.h.i.+p is higher than mine.”

Lin Xuanzhi said lightly, “I didn’t expect that there is still a n.o.ble person in the Shen family. It seems that the Shen family’s fortune and destiny shouldn’t yet be severed.”

Shen Yujue’s cultivation was clearly already Hardened Body Stage. However, he was a man of honor, so when exchanging blows with Lin Xuanzhi, he was unwilling to use Qi above Lin Xuanzhi’s level to suppress him. Instead, he wanted to compete with Lin Xuanzhi purely in swordsmans.h.i.+p, which was why he lost so thoroughly.
