Can't Live Past 20
"Can't I?" Lin Jingxuan retorted with an arrogant smile, causing many people to frown. However, no one said anything. With Lin Jingxuan's strength, he had the right to be arrogant.
"In terms of stupidity, the two of you are indeed far superior to me. One of you lost her sense of propriety because of love and after a few words of provocation, you stubbornly refused to let me go. The other is constantly fanning the flames. Little do you know that his methods are too clumsy. Anyone can see through it with a single glance. The two of you have really opened my eyes.
"Right now, all the experts are gathered here. You all represent your respective sects and are crowned as geniuses. Yet, your actions are so foolish. Are you all venting out the hatred in your hearts, or are you bringing shame to your sects?"
Chu Xingyun's sharp words directly stabbed Lin Jingxuan and Gu Tianjiao. Their faces instantly turned ashen and extremely unsightly.
"What a glib tongue." Gu Tianjiao coldly snorted, his demeanor as calm as ever.
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. It's just that the opponent is too stupid." Chu Xingyun sneered and smiled at Gu Tianjiao. "After all, some people think they are extraordinary and think they can control everything. In reality, they are just making a fool of themselves from the beginning."
As Chu Xingyun spoke, his eyes swept across the crowd like a sharp sword and landed on Ye Qianhan. "Moreover, there are many such people!"
Buzz!
An icy chill suddenly descended, causing the space to freeze. The crowd immediately felt their bodies stiffen. They could feel several bursts of coldness erupting, all of them surging towards Chu Xingyun.
"Luo Yun Sword Master, your words will only attract more enemies." Ye Qianhan coldly said. She felt very uncomfortable. Chu Xingyun's gaze just now seemed to have completely seen through her.
"Another person who thinks he's extraordinary." Chu Xingyun revealed a disdainful expression. He glanced at Ye Qianhan in the corner and shook his head. "There are indeed many idiots."
"Luo Yun!" Ye Qianhan's cold and arrogant eyes revealed a cold killing intent as she stared at Chu Xingyun. The light of Wu Ling even spread out from her body, wanting to kill Chu Xingyun.
"Why are you calling me by my name? You dare to attack me?" Chu Xingyun's eyes were filled with mockery as he slowly sat down. He clasped the wine cup in his hand and drained it in one gulp. From beginning to end, he didn't even notice Ye Qianhan, Lin Jingxuan, and the others.
Thump!
The sound of the wine cup landing on the table was so clear in the quiet space. A trace of mellow wine fragrance was emitted from Chu Xingyun's body.
He glanced at Ye Qianhan and the others, still not concealing the mockery on his face. He gently poured the wine and drained it in one gulp. His actions were so natural and unrestrained, revealing a sense of heroism.
The crowd stared blankly at this scene, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Ye Qianhan, Lin Jingxuan, and the others were all true dragons and phoenixes among men. The three of them spoke at the same time, wanting to mock Chu Xingyun, but in the end, Chu Xingyun made it hard for them to say anything.
"This person is amazing. He faced three people alone and still had the upper hand," Su Jing 'an praised. Su Jingan exclaimed in admiration. Su Muzhao also nodded slightly, a trace of surprise flashing across her beautiful eyes.
Liu Shiyun's eyes were also filled with surprise. In the depths of her eyes, there was even a trace of surprise. But in just a moment, her eyes became calm again as she stared ahead expressionlessly.
"In the Grand Competition of the Six Sects, strength is everything. No matter how sharp your words are, it will be difficult for you to achieve anything." Gu Tianjiao felt extremely sullen, but he knew how to endure. Chu Xingyun's words were far better than his. He did not want to continue fighting, so he turned around and slowly sat down.
Chu Xingyun was still sitting there, holding the wine cup in his left hand. He said coldly to Gu Tianjiao, "It is not up to you to judge whether or not I can achieve anything."
"Humph!"
A cold snort was heard. Lin Jingxuan was a little angry. He shouted in a low voice, "Even if you don't die, so what? Even if you can achieve something, so what? In the end, you will not be able to escape the curse of Wanjian Pavilion."
As soon as he finished speaking, many people's expressions changed, and their expressions became strange. As for the experts from the 10,000 Swords Pavilion, their faces turned pale, as if they had heard something terrifying, and their breathing became hurried.
"What is the curse that he is talking about?" Chu Xingyun turned around and looked at Baili Kuangsheng. At this time, Baili Kuangsheng's expression was also a little uncomfortable. His eyes were fixed on Lin Jingxuan.
"You don't know about the curse of Wanjian Pavilion?" Seeing Chu Xingyun's face full of confusion, Lin Jingxuan was overjoyed. The sullen feeling just now disappeared without a trace. He raised his chest and felt a sense of comfort.
"Lord Lin, let's end this here. Judging from the time, the banquet will begin soon," an elder of Wanjian Pavilion said somewhat anxiously. He did not mention a word about the curse and appeared to be cautious.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten me!" Lin Jingxuan's eyes swept over, and a bloody light bloomed. He raised his hand, and in an instant, the light of the blade flashed, as red as blood. His whole body was full of murderous intent.
Whoosh!
Lin Jingxuan's hand was like a blade. The moment it struck out, it directly crushed the elder of Wanjian Pavilion. The wind from his palm blew, and the spiritual power transformed into a bloody long blade. It slashed out, carrying with it a terrifying killing power that could destroy everything.
The elder of Wanjian Pavilion looked horrified. He had not expected Lin Jingxuan to suddenly attack. The light of Wu Ling bloomed, but his eyes were filled with the color of blood. In an instant, his body shattered, and a bloody mist exploded. The entire space was filled with a fishy smell. Everyone's expressions stiffened, and the atmosphere became tense.
Tonight's banquet had not yet begun, but Lin Jingxuan had directly killed someone. Moreover, he had done it in front of Chu Xingyun and Baili Kuangsheng. Such actions were indeed somewhat annoying.
Chu Xingyun coldly stared at Lin Jingxuan with a grave expression.
However, he did not feel that he had lost all face because of the death of the elder of Wanjian Pavilion. Instead, he was secretly shocked by Lin Jingxuan's strength. The cultivation of that Wanjian Pavilion elder had reached the ninth layer of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, which could be considered at the peak. But in the end, he was still killed by Lin Jingxuan without being able to retaliate.
Lin Jingxuan's Wu Ling was the Ghost Skeleton Blade. It was of the sixth grade and was the spirit of slaughter. Before the blade had even been drawn, it could easily kill someone in the ninth layer of the Heavenly Spirit Realm. From this, one could see how tyrannical his strength was.
"Among the six great sects, the Daluo Golden Sect's strength is in the middle. From this, it can be inferred that the strength of the others is not below Lin Jingxuan's." Chu Xingyun secretly took in everyone's expressions. Of the eleven monstrous geniuses present, other than him and Baili Kuangsheng, there was not much change in their expressions. They only frowned.
What's more, there were some who liked to fight, such as Gu Mang and Luo Sen, who were already radiating battle intent.
Seeing Chu Xingyun remain silent, Lin Jingxuan was a bit disappointed. His eyebrows twitched as he coldly said, "This is clearly something that everyone knows, yet you still want to hide it. Could there be some secret behind this?"
Once these words were spoken, the faces of the people from the Wanjian Pavilion turned even paler. However, this time, no one dared to speak. They looked at each other and saw the fear in each other's eyes. They were afraid that they would follow in the footsteps of the previous person.
Chu Xingyun remained silent, which angered Lin Jingxuan. He coldly snorted and said in a threatening tone, "Speaking of this curse, it has been circulating for a long time. In the past few decades, there have been several monstrous geniuses that have appeared in the Wanjian Pavilion. Some of them were not below you in terms of talent, and were even a bit better than you.
"However, it was difficult for these people to achieve great things. They had just stepped into the peak, and in the end, they would all inexplicably die prematurely. Every one of them died in an extremely miserable manner and did not live past the age of twenty.
