A Sword at the Neck - A Sword at the Neck (2/2)

They remembered the warnings of seniors in their clans in the past few days and the mysterious posts of Heiyao Shrine…

However, for those young guys from the Forbidden City, killing Lin Xun was an insignificant thing. They were just somewhat surprised by Huang Jianxiong’s fierceness.

Only Huang Jianxiong was excited in his heart. He walked up to Lin Xun with a cruel smile and triumphantly thundered, “Bastard, if I don’t kill you, will I have any face left? It’s too naive and ridiculous for you to use the name of Granny Wind to coerce me!”

With that, he stretched out his hand and patted Lin’s face, trying to humiliate Lin who should have died.

Before his fingertips touched Lin Xun’s face, Lin opened his eyes abruptly.

His deep dark pupils were full of frigid and indifferent color.

What was wrong?

Huang Jianxiong’s expression changed sharply. Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, he felt a touch on his wrist and his arm was twisted off at once. His face contorted with pain.

Everyone at the scene widened their eyes and were shocked. Lin Xun had not died in the attack of the piercing needles! Immediately, they saw him pick up Huang Jianxiong’s body and hurl it on the ground.

Bang!

The ground shook for a moment. Huang Jianxiong came into close contact with the hard ground. His nose and mouth bled while his bones cracked with a crackling sound.

The crowd was shivering all over. Just by listening to the voice, they knew the excruciating pain Huang Jianxiong must be suffering.

“Bastard! I’m going to kill you—!”

Huang Jianxiong shrieked in a bitter and aching voice.

At this moment, Lin Xun was thoroughly enraged. He appeared indifferent and calm on the surface, but his mind was swarming with violent and bloody thoughts.

If it were not for his quick reflexes and timely use of the MeditatingMagic to resolve the crisis, the consequences would have been unbearable.

In other words, this was the first time that he had felt a fatal threat. For this kind of enemy who wanted to kill him, Lin Xun wouldn’t be merciful.

Bang!

He held Huang’s body and slammed it into the ground once again. Huang Jianxiong screamed while twitching all over and foaming at the mouth. He finally shut his eyes in pain and fainted.

Seeing Lin Xun’s behavior, many of the young guys from the Forbidden City who had already regained their composure yelled loudly, “Stop!”

However, Lin Xun simply ignored them and picked up Huang Jianxiong’s body once more. If Huang was smashed one more time, he might really die.

Those young men from the Forbidden City lost their color and rushed towards him.

Even Wen Mingxiu, Qi Yunxiao and others couldn’t help but feel numb. Some of them couldn’t sit still. If Huang Jianxiong—a descendant of an aristocratic family—died, the consequences would be dreadful!

Whoosh!

At this critical moment, a green figure appeared out of nowhere. At the same time, a blue sword had arrived at Lin Xun’s neck.

The sword was as blue as the sea, filled with a clear and vast spirit. Although it was motionless, it had an overwhelming killing aura, which made Lin Xun’s skin react with a layer of goosebumps.

Lin Xun dared not move again at this moment.

He looked at the person in front of him. It was Shie Yutang!

Shie’s eyes were full of indifference and filled with wisps of sword shadows, exuding a forceful pressure. His whole being was like a world-class sword with a sharp edge soaring into the sky!

“Put him down.”

Shie Yutang’s voice was calm, but infused with an indisputable authority.

Lin Xun had not a shred of doubt that if he dared to disobey even a little, Shie Yutang would not hesitate to pierce his throat.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. The young guys from the Forbidden City were more relaxed and looked at Lin Xun with hatred and contempt.

Lin Xun stared at Shie Yutang quietly with his calm black eyes. Nobody could sense the fury and hatred he had in his heart at the moment.

But in the end, he suddenly smiled and said, “Alright, I promise not to kill him. Anyway, you have saved my life once. I need to return this favor.”

With that, he shook his hand and threw Huang Jianxiong, who had already been unconscious.

Shie Yutang rebuked coldly, “Always remember: if I can save you, I can also kill you. I hope you won’t try to challenge my bottom line, little ant. It’s bound to be the death of you if you’re over-confident!”

With the warning, Shie Yutang put away the sword and no longer looked at Lin Xun. He turned and sat back in his position.

Lin Xun laughed silently and also sat back in his place as if nothing had happened. He reached out and touched his throat. His fingertips swept some dark-red drops of blood.

Lin was hurt by Shie Yutang’s sword just now. Although it had only pierced the skin and he did not even feel pain, in his eyes, these blood drops appeared so dazzling.

He put his finger on his lips and licked it. The blood was on the tip of his tongue. It was like a mark branded at the bottom of his heart, so that Lin Xun would never forget this feeling in his life.
