The hospitality of Tianyan Pavilion
Lin Shu's hostile remark about a jinx pierced Feng Jinxuan's heart like a cold needle.
It hurts, but it's nothing compared to the pain of losing Yu Jinli.
He looked at the woman in front of him, dressed in a fiery red outfit, holding a long sword, and exuding a heroic aura, his dark eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
Yu Jinli's departure has hardened his heart to the point of being hard.
He knew she was Yu Jinli's senior, and he also knew that what she said might not be wrong—he was indeed a jinx who would bring her misfortune.
But so what?
He traveled thousands of miles across half the globe, not to be lectured.
He came to take her home.
Anyone who dares to obstruct him is his enemy. And when dealing with enemies, there's no need for politeness.
"I'm looking for Yu Jinli." He said, his voice hoarse from days of travel, but his tone was unusually firm.
“Junior Sister is in seclusion and does not receive guests.” Lin Shu’s answer was crisp and decisive, leaving no room for negotiation, “especially not guests like you.”
Her eyes were filled with disgust: "A jinx."
Lin Shu slightly raised the long sword in his hand, the tip pointing directly at Feng Jinxuan's brow. The sword energy was sharp, blowing his black hair, cutting off a few strands of hair that drifted leisurely in the air.
"You are not welcome here. Please leave."
Before Feng Jinxuan could reply, Qingfeng, the young Taoist priest following behind her, quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Hey, senior sister, let's talk this out. Don't just draw your sword at the drop of a hat." He advised with a grin, "This Mr. Feng is, after all, junior sister's friend, right? He even has a token from our Tianyan Pavilion."
"A token?" Lin Shu snorted coldly, his usually proud eyes filled with disdain. "I only recognize the rules of my sect, not any nonsense tokens."
"The Heavenly Evolution Pavilion is a sacred ground; any mortal who trespasses will be put to death."
Her aura was rising steadily, clearly indicating that she was ready to make a move at any moment.
Feng Jinxuan looked at her without any fear, and simply took the safety buckle, which was already soaked with his blood, back into his hand.
"I must see her today." He looked at Lin Shu and declared clearly, word by word, "If you stop me, I'll beat you up too."
"What arrogance!"
Lin Shu was thoroughly enraged by his arrogant attitude. Without saying another word, he flicked his wrist, and the ancient longsword instantly transformed into a fiery red streak of light, tearing through the air as it hurtled straight toward Feng Jinxuan's face!
This sword strike was swift, precise, and ruthless, brimming with the pride and fury of a direct disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Pavilion. How dare an ordinary person try to teach him a lesson? Let alone the senior disciple of the Heavenly Evolution Pavilion, even a newly initiated disciple would not tolerate such humiliation!
However, just a second before the sharp sword tip was about to touch Feng Jinxuan's brow, the man's body suddenly leaned backward at an incredible angle—an extreme iron bridge!
The movement contrasted sharply with his somewhat clumsy-looking windbreaker, exuding a wild and breathtaking beauty, a skill honed through years of extreme sports training!
He barely dodged the fatal sword strike, then pushed off with his feet, his body moving like a ghost, advancing instead of retreating, and instantly closing in on Lin Shu!
He has no weapons; his body is his weapon!
His elbows, knees, every joint became the deadliest weapon!
In an instant, the entire entrance to Tianyan Pavilion was filled with the crisscrossing sword energy and howling fist winds!
One is a martial arts prodigy, a once-in-a-century talent of Tianyan Pavilion, with agile swordsmanship and exquisite moves; the other is an ultimate king who once challenged the Grim Reaper at the top of the world, with wide and powerful moves, full of the most primal beast-like fighting instincts!
The two were evenly matched!
The Tianyan Pavilion disciples who rushed over upon hearing the news were all dumbfounded.
"I...I didn't see that wrong, did I? Senior Sister was actually forced to a draw by a mere mortal?"
"Who is that guy? What's his background? His moves are so strange, I've never seen them before!"
"Who cares who he is! How dare he cause trouble in our Tianyan Pavilion! Senior Sister, go for it! Beat him to a pulp!"
Yu Jinli was awakened by this commotion.
After defeating Lin Shu last time, she ultimately did not descend the mountain. Her mother persuaded her, "The Shadow Devouring Sect has been looking for you. With your strength, how will you protect yourself and Feng Jinxuan after you descend the mountain?"
She suddenly opened her eyes from her meditation—something was wrong!
She sensed it: a familiar aura belonging to Feng Jinxuan that made her heart pound, and another equally familiar, sharp sword aura belonging to her senior sister.
What is he doing here? How did those two... end up fighting?
She no longer cared about cultivation and rushed out of the Star Gazing Pavilion like a gust of wind, running wildly towards the mountain gate!
...
On the training ground, Feng Jinxuan had several cuts from the sword energy on his body, and blood stained his black windbreaker. His breathing had also become somewhat rapid.
After all, the misfortune was still eroding his body at all times, and it was already a miracle that he could fight a Xuanmen master in his prime for so long.
Lin Shu's forehead was also covered with a fine layer of sweat. The more she hit him, the more frightened she became—this man in front of her was not human at all!
He seemed to have no sense of pain or fear; every move he made was a life-or-death struggle!
Several times, she felt her sword was about to pierce his heart, but he always managed to dodge at the most impossible moment in the most incredible way, and then retaliate in an even more ruthless and reckless manner!
"Crazy!" she couldn't help but mutter under her breath.
“I said,” Feng Jinxuan looked at her, his dark eyes, already bloodshot, burning with a fanatical flame, “no one can stop me today.”
"Yeah?"
Lin Shu's gaze turned completely cold, and he no longer held back.
A powerful spiritual force belonging to the direct disciples of Tianyan Pavilion erupted from her body, and the long sword in her hand was instantly enveloped in a layer of fiery red light!
"Since you insist on seeking death, then I will grant your wish!"
She leaped high into the air, sword in hand, and unleashed a powerful, sweeping strike down on Feng Jinxuan!
Enraged, Lin Shu unleashed a sword strike of true power powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks! Even if Yu Jinli later complained and hated her, she no longer wanted to endure it.
Feng Jinxuan looked at the sword that was coming down on him, carrying an aura of destruction. He knew he couldn't dodge it, but he didn't close his eyes.
He simply raised his head to meet the deadly sword light, a tragic yet incredibly resolute smile playing on his lips.
He thought that if dying here could bring her peace and happiness from now on, then... that wouldn't be so bad.
Just as the flaming longsword was about to fall, a clear, anxious, and distressed female voice boomed like thunder in everyone's ears:
"stop!"
