In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen elite inner sect disciples rushed towards Lin Xuan with all sorts of weapons in their hands. Lin Xuan didn't even have the chance to stand up. With a light wave of his hand, Lin Xuan caught hold of the raging wind and condensed it into a wind blade!
Swoosh!
A beam of golden light shot out from Lin Xuan's hand. In an instant, the entire courtyard fell into a dead silence. Zhang Long realized that his subordinates were like wooden puppets, frozen in place!
It was as though… the gears of time had been jammed. Zhang Long was surprised at first, but he still shouted coldly, "Attack! Kill him now!"
But just as Zhang Long finished speaking, Zhang Long saw his subordinates standing in front of him. After a short pause, their bodies trembled, and their heads rolled onto the ground! Seven! Eight! More than ten! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Then, his subordinates fell one after another like dominoes!
Dead silence, dead silence!
At that moment, Zhang Long's pupils had shrunk. He was horrified! It was as though… he was dreaming!
"This… this is…
"All dead???
"Instant kill?"
Zhang Long was dumbfounded! He was completely dumbfounded. The people under him were all at the Body Refinement Realm. So many of them were at the Body Refinement Realm! Even he couldn't instantly kill all of them, much less a cripple…
This… How was this possible? It was only at this moment that Lin Xuan slowly stood up. Taking slow, leisurely steps, he slowly walked towards Zhang Long. Lin Xuan was dressed in azure robes, and his feet were like mountains of corpses and seas of blood. He was like a death god that had come to the mortal world to reap souls!
Ta! Ta! Ta!
Lin Xuan's every step was like thunder, exploding in Zhang Long's ears!
Lin Xuan shook his head helplessly. "Zhang Long, didn't you say that we were best friends? Is that what you said?
"You said that we should share our blessings and sufferings together?
"You wanted to kill me before! You wanted me to die without a burial ground!
"Even blood-related brothers have to settle accounts… I'm anxious to fulfill your wish!"
The moment Lin Xuan finished speaking, he had arrived in front of Zhang Long. Zhang Long wasn't willing to give up so easily. He pulled out a large saber and slashed at Lin Xuan's neck!
Whoosh!!!
But as a gust of wind blew past, before Zhang Long's saber could reach Lin Xuan's body, he felt his right arm empty. Then, a sharp pain swept out from his severed arm, instantly coursing through his entire body!
When he turned his head, Zhang Long discovered that his right arm had already been chopped off by Lin Xuan. And at some unknown time, his broadsword had also appeared in Lin Xuan's hands!
"No! No!!!"
Zhang Long cried out tragically, filled with regret and despair. He now knew that he regretted his actions. He shouldn't have taken the lead to mock Lin Xuan. He shouldn't have taken the lead to abuse Lin Xuan. He shouldn't have done this. He had nearly beaten Lin Xuan to death. After his brain had short-circuited, he finally reacted, smashing his head against the ground with a loud bang!
He began to beg for mercy! He used all his strength to kowtow non-stop!
"Senior Brother Lin Xuan! Spare me! Spare me!
"For the sake of our many years of friendship, don't kill me! Don't kill me!
"I promise you; I'll get out of the Holy Sword Sect immediately and never appear in your sight again!
"Don't kill me, don't kill me!!!
"Spare me, spare me…"
This time, he could no longer raise his head.
Rumble rumble rumble!
His head left his body, and the last thing he saw was the greenish-black floor.
The Saint Sword Sect.
The main hall was grand and magnificent. At the end of the huge and wide hall, there was a woman. She was dressed in white and was as beautiful as a flower. She held a long white sword in her hand. Her aura was like a fairy from heaven. The bright lights in the hall elongated the woman's shadow.
The girl held the sword in her hand and suddenly became interested. She waved the sword in the air a few times and unexpectedly caused the void on the other side of the hall to become restless.
As the sword danced, the other Saint Sword Sect guards standing on both sides of the hall kept quiet out of fear. This was sword intent!
"Holy Maiden, your Sword Dao has already reached great success. Perhaps you are not far from the late stage of the Stygian Realm…" A female disciple beside the Holy Maiden could not help but sigh at her strength.
That's right, that white-robed woman was the Saint Sword Sect's Holy Maiden, Lin Xuerou. She was also one of the most powerful prodigies in the entire Heavenly Flame Kingdom.
"How is my wedding?" Lin Xuerou asked slowly.
The maidservant beside her replied happily, "The Young Clan Head of the Green Leaf Sect has already sent out an invitation and set up a grand banquet to invite all the major clans of the Heavenly Flame Kingdom to prepare for the grand ceremony half a year later. Holy Maiden, you are a peerless genius. I think only the Young Clan Head of the Green Leaf Sect is worthy of you, Holy Maiden!" Lin Xuerou pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this.
After a moment, she seemed to recall something and asked again, "Have you heard anything about Lin Xuan recently?"
The maid shook her head and said, "No, that Lin Yan has long been expelled from the inner sect. It is said that he is recuperating in a remote corner of the outer sect… Now that his bloodline has been destroyed, he needs Marrow Cleansing Pills to reforge his bloodline…"
"Don't say anymore." Lin Xuerou waved her hand, not revealing any expression on her face. Her clear eyes had been looking at the sword in her hand from the start, as if she didn't care about Lin Xuan's matter at all.
She only said indifferently, "The Marrow Cleansing Pill is a sixth-grade Golden Pill, a peerless treasure. Our Saint Sword Sect only has one such pill, and it's reserved for when I break through to the Divine Sea Realm. Wouldn't it be a waste to use it on this person?
"Back then, I only said that I would give him a Marrow Cleansing Pill in order to make him happy. My father is the Chief Elder of the Saint Sword Sect, and I am also a Holy Maiden now. He is just a brat from a humble background. The Young Master of the Green Leaf Sect is the one who is fated to be with me.
"Just drive him out after a while. Don't let him stay in the Saint Sword Sect. If he has any objections, just kill him." Lin Xuerou's voice wasn't loud, but she spoke with certainty.
As soon as she finished speaking, even the guards in the main hall were surprised. No one had expected Lin Xuerou to be so cruel and heartless. Lin Xuan had saved Lin Xuerou, causing his own bloodline to be destroyed! Yet she was repaying Lin Xuan in such a manner!
However, the current Lin Xuerou was already the sect's Holy Maiden, and she was the most dazzling star in the entire sect. She had stepped into the Stygian Realm at such a young age. It could be said that even the elders in the Saint Sword Sect did not dare to offend her!
