Chu Xun's words cast a pall of silence over the entire hall.
And Chu Xun looked as if he hadn't realized he said anything amiss.
But the silence was not one of serenity, at least for everyone else but him, for within the hearts of everyone present, they were all scowling at him with expletives and curses.
For all the piffle this stranger had sprouted, in the end, he unveiled his true motive: the Soul-nourishing Lotus. What was more, he asked for not one, but eight to ten of them! Did not that sound greedy at all!?
As if everyone present today, pandering and groveling at the feet of the Yan Family, did not come because of the Lotus too.
"I shall have to be frank, my friend," said Yan Wushuang, calming the impulse to draw his steel, said with steely calmness, "Even in all of the Yan Family, we have but only one Lotus at present."
"..." Chu Xun knew not what to say. "All right then, one Lotus it is. At least
Surviving Zang Fengling's most powerful attack.No other feat could have so fully and truly attested to his invincibility.Every single warrior watching the duel was left gaping with disbelief and speechlessness.Chu Xun strode straight towards Zang Fengling and stretched out a hand, grinning, "Give it here."That jerked Zang Fengling back to life, but not without rage and anger flooding into him. This bumbling nobody had survived his blow?!People would remember his name from this day, and he had just become a rung on his ladder to renown."You really are invincible indeed," Zang Fengling feigned a praise, "You've won my admiration!"There was no way he could back out of this – not when so many pairs of eyes trained on them. Gritting his teeth, while grimacing quietly at his loss, he stuffed the Ginseng into Chu Xun's hand."I suppose I should also thank you for staying your hand
In a clean and tidy room, Yan Wushuang was sitting cross-legged with countless little glitters of spiritual energies swarming lazily around him, entering his body from the pores of his skin. The glow from the wisps of little stars illuminated his lean and handsome face.His eyes blinked open suddenly and he quickly dug out a white stone from within his robes. The stone glowed faintly in his hands, but growing brighter by the second.His countenance shifted. Scrambling for his sword, he dove out the door.Inside the Yanling Chamber, Chu Xun's Divine Sense warned him about his presence being discovered. He quickly put away the jade chests containing the Spirit Fluxes and seized a piece of black cloth to mask his face before bolting for the entrance.Deep in the Yanling Chamber, a stone door swung open to emit Yan Wushuang. The sight of the Spirit Basin empty, the Soul-nourishing Lotus gone, and the guardians of the Basin all unconsci
Yan Wushuang and Zang Fengling were outstanding and peerless talents, and few of their peers could be their match.The battle between them was earth-shattering!The fist prints were as magnificent as rainbow, and the sword shadows were dazzling and bright.Boom!The terrifying collision caused a storm to sweep through the area. Not to mention the ground cracking inch by inch, even the surrounding buildings were teetering."Zang Fengling, give me the Soul-nourishing Lotus and Spirit Flux, or I'll kill you," Yan Wushuang said in a cold tone, and his attacks were merciless.The warriors around, including Chu Xun and Yao Baiyue, all looked shocked. At the same time, they suddenly realized that something was stolen from the Yan family.Zang Fengling was also stunned for a moment, and then he was full of anger. He felt that Yan Wushuang was talking nonsense."Yan Wushuang, you despicabl
The hateful look on Zang Fengling's fade just could not fade – not especially after seeing the Thunder Fist."How is this possible..." he murmured."What else can you now say, Zang Fengling?" Chu Xun shouted.As if he couldn't hear Chu Xun's challenge, Zang Fengling murmured to himself still, his eyes swirling with disbelief."Please, Yan. Can you tell me everything in more detail?"Despite his reluctance, Yan Wushuang never wanted his reputation to suffer, and that compelled him to recount what happened.Zang Fengling first listened to his story before he ignored the pain of his injury and performed the Thunder Fist technique.Yan Wushuang's sword quivered uneasily as he tightened his grip, just in case Zang Fengling might unleash an all-out attack in a desperate attempt.Boom!Thunders roared overhead and a fist coiling with lightning bolts and sparks came crashing
That made Chu Xun very unhappy. He had busied himself one whole night – walloping every guard he came upon during his sneak-in, and setting up Zang Fengling – all for the Soul-nourishing Lotus, and now, only for him to be intercepted by a total stranger demanding him to surrender his prize?While he himself had his fair share of swashbuckling and marauding, he could not believe that he would end up a prey of this purple-haired woman."Go on then. We'd see if anyone takes your word for it," said Chu Xun bluntly. He was hardly afraid; as far as everyone was concerned, he had been wounded during his duel against Zang Fengling at the meeting at the Yan Family residence. Surely no one would believe that a wounded man could sneak in and out unscathed from such a heavily-guarded residence?"And surely you don't expect your feeble and crude excuse would save you?" scoffed the woman in return. She took out her cell phone and played a video.
The next day.A stranger came to his door, announcing himself as a servant from the Yan Family, at Yan Wushuang's behest to invite him to a meal.Chu Xun went next door to inform the woman, only to discover, much to his astonishment, that she wanted to come along.The night before did not end on a happy note.Because Chu Xun has had the night to learn how abysmally inept the woman was in talking.In the end, he relented to allow the woman to come with him. With a host as affluent as the Yans, having one extra mouth would hardly bore a hole in their ship.And there was Yan Wushuang already outside expecting them.Seeing the purple-haired woman beside Chu Xun slightly surprised him, chiefly because of her notoriety for being able to match Zang Fengling in a fight."You've come, my friend. And this is...""She's my junior in tutelage," blurted Chu Xun easily.
The weather outside began changing when evening came where the bright sunny sky became obscured by dark thick clouds that hung ominously overhead.Chu Xun peered outside. Yan Wushuang was right, the weather was really changing. The climate at Yanxue City could really chop and change.Before long, night descended and the city began lighting up.Chu Xun went to the room of the purple-haired woman and rapped on her door."It's time. Let's go to Yan's residence."They stepped out of the guesthouse and headed for the Yan Family residence. With the snow falling around them, one might see as if halos of iridescent light sparkled around the walking pair.They met up with Yan Wushuang's party of five. He decided to bring along four of his men, every one of them Sixth-grade Human Kings which were all close to reaching Seventh-grade.With Chu Xun and the purple-haired woman, the company of seven formed t
The incessant roars of the yeti rumbled across the glen.Its bloodshot eyes looked hideously terrifying by the second, and its erect fur shining coldly like needles.Chu Xun was exasperated. He was utterly drenched from head to toe in blood and was regretting his boorish method when he could have easily gone for easier and more casual ways.I should be like a gentleman – waving my fan, reciting some poetry, chatting up the ladies while trying to look casual and cool, he mused. Yet he seemed to be inept in such dainty and delicate ways, he thought as he shook his head.He stomped hard into the ground and propelled himself up into the air until he reached the height of the giant ape, and he delivered a punch.Angered, the yeti's head shimmered with white light as it rammed its head at Chu Xun.Bang!Blood spattered everywhere, complemented with the painful howls of the yeti and there on its head
