Chapter 1012: New Grudges and Old Hatreds!
"What, seeing how confident you look, are you perhaps more skilled at being a freeloader?"
Lin Xuan said nonchalantly.
Regarding Shen Yulong's identity and strength, Lin Xuan didn't care at all, so his words were not very courteous.
Facing the formidable Shen Yulong, Lin Xuan remained fearless.
Meanwhile, the surrounding crowd was utterly shocked. Who was Shen Yulong but a core disciple of the Shen Family and a genius martial artist of the King Family.
Such a person walking outside would usually receive greetings from typical family elders and clan leaders, yet now there was someone daring to provoke him.
This was truly shocking.
"Who is that kid? What's his background, do you know?"
"Could he also be a disciple from a top power?"
"Not sure, never seen him before."
The crowd buzzed with discussions, speculating about Lin Xuan's identity. In their view, those daring to confront a core disciple of the Shen Family must likely be from a top power as well.
However, after asking around, they found no one knew Lin Xuan.
The actual reason was simple: Lin Xuan was merely a prominent figure in the Immortal Martial Academy, but these people came from all over the Blood Domain and were not academy disciples, so it's normal they hadn't heard of Lin Xuan.
However, upon hearing these words, Shen Yulong's expression turned grim.
A little disciple from the Immortal Martial Academy dared to speak to him like this. He must have a death wish!
"Kid, you're very brave, but do you know the consequences of saying such words?"
Shen Yulong's voice was icy, carrying a hint of murderous intent.
"Then, do you not know the consequences of speaking to me like that?" Lin Xuan was unyielding, meeting force with force.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding martial artists' eyeballs nearly popped out; it was their first time seeing someone dare to go against Shen Yulong.
"Good, good! Kid, you have guts, you're the first to dare menace me, Shen Yulong."
"After the banquet, let's have a proper spar; let me see if your strength is as sharp as your tongue."
Shen Yulong said coldly, his gaze emanating a chilling light.
"Couldn't wish for more; I'd also like to see the standard of a core disciple of the Shen Family." Lin Xuan sneered, not minding in the least.
"Hmph, just a young disciple from the Immortal Martial Academy, there's no need for Brother Yulong to take action!"
Another icy voice rang out, followed by the appearance of a tall figure in the crowd's sight.
This was also a young man, ruggedly handsome, exuding a wild beauty.
He took one step, instantly moving several hundred yards, arriving before the crowd in just two or three steps.
"So fast!"
"What exquisite step technique!"
The crowd marveled, this speed was beyond their comprehension, undoubtedly the newcomer was also a top-tier young expert.
"Big brother!"
Seeing this wild youth, Liu Qiang excitedly called out.
Other Liu Family disciples too, excitedly shouted, Brother Liu Lie!
"I want to see who dares spout such arrogance, daring to challenge Brother Yulong in combat?"
Liu Lie's figure was imposing, his gaze sharp as if a supreme beast, exuding a terrifying presence.
Seeing this scene, Ling'er sighed, as expected, the Liu Family also intervened.
In this situation, Lin Xuan might be in danger.
Sighing, she quickly said: "Everyone, this Mr. Lin was invited by my lady, and I hope you won't interfere."
"Miss Ling'er, we won't disregard Lady Qingcheng's favor, but what qualities does this guy have to gain Lady Qingcheng's favor?"
"I think Lady Qingcheng might have been deceived by him; now I will reveal his ugly face."
Liu Lie's voice was sonorous, like thunder, resonating in all directions.
"Lady Qingcheng? Could it be Murong Qingcheng!"
Hearing this, everyone was incredibly shocked. They never expected the young man before them was personally invited by Murong Qingcheng.
This was truly shocking. One must know that even Shen Yulong and Liu Lie didn't have such face.
Also, from Liu Lie's words, it seemed the other party was a disciple of the Immortal Martial Academy; but since when did the Immortal Martial Academy produce such a disciple, they really didn't know.
However, it was believed that from today onwards, Lin Xuan's name would enter the sights of these people.
"I too want to see what makes you so arrogant?"
Lin Xuan took a step forward, a fierce aura erupted from his body, and despite facing the formidable Liu Qiang, he remained unafraid, ready to fight at any moment.
Feeling Lin Xuan's aura, the surrounding martial artists all gasped, for that aura was terrifying, like a supreme divine sword drawn from its sheath, making everyone's heart tremble.
"Such fierce sword qi, he's truly strong as expected from someone invited by Miss Murong!"
All present were no weaklings, though it was just a single aura, they could sense the terrifying energy contained within Lin Xuan's body.
Everyone was very excited; these two were indeed top-tier young experts, and if they really fought, it would surely be a spectacular battle.
"Oh, is someone about to battle? Let me have a look." At this moment, a laughing voice came through.
Subsequently, from the distance came another young man in luxurious attire, smiling broadly as he approached.
Seeing that person, Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief. Initially, she was worried Lin Xuan would suffer losses if he and Liu Lie fought, but now it seemed there was no need.
"Young Master Qingshu, you've come too," Ling'er said.
The surrounding martial artists were also moved, not expecting Murong Qingshu to be here.
This birthday banquet was organized by a high-standing elder of the Murong Family, and Murong Qingshu was the direct descendant of this elder.
In other words, Murong Qingshu was the Young Master of Red Moon City.
So, his identity was indeed extraordinary.
Discovering the other party's identity, Lin Xuan also retracted all his sword qi, no longer intending to make a move.
On one side, the Dark Red Divine Dragon coolly said to Liu Lie: "Brat, you're lucky, or you would've been struck down by now."
"It's really angry, these people are too obnoxious and all should die!"
"Hmph!"
Liu Lie coldly snorted, his eyes shooting horrifying light.
Murong Qingshu approached with a big smile and said loudly: "Everyone, today is my ancestor's birthday feast, on this day, give me face, and fight another day!"
Then I can invite friends to witness the unrivaled splendor of you two.
"Since Brother Qing Shu has spoken, I shall fight another day," Liu Lie turned to smile at Murong Qingshu.
Then, he turned again to look at Lin Xuan and said coldly: "Count yourself lucky you get to live a few more days."
"Enjoy this last bit of time!"
Liu Lie looked down, like a death god, pronouncing Lin Xuan's death sentence.
"Liu, if you dare speak to me like that again, believe me, I'll cut you down with one strike!"
"I don't care what status you hold!"
Lin Xuan was also furious. The other party was so aggressive, provoking again and again. Even a clay figurine has some fire, let alone him!
He stepped forward, his sword qi becoming extremely fierce, forming a sword light suspended in the air.
