"What!"
Qiner was stunned upon hearing this. She hadn't expected the Emerald Star Lord to suppress Li Xuan without even inquiring about the circumstances.
"Golden Martial Star Lord, wait a moment!"
After a moment of shock, Qiner quickly stepped forward, bowed, and called out.
"Oh? It's Qiner, the Pavilion Master of Lingtian Pavilion. How is it, you know this brat?"
Upon hearing this and seeing that it was the new Pavilion Master of Lingtian Pavilion, Jin Wuwen’s gathered spiritual energy immediately dispersed.
"Star Lord Jin, may I speak with you in private?" Qiner nodded.
"Oh? Please." Jin Wuwen was surprised by this request but nodded considering her status.
Seeing this, Li Xuan understood that Qiner intended to speak on his behalf. With this thought, he didn't stop her.
"What!"
Suddenly, Jin Wuwen shouted loudly, then turned his head to glare at Li Xuan with fire in his eyes.
"Star Lord Jin!"
Qiner's expression was anxious, and she couldn't help but shout. But Jin Wuwen didn't stop. He only halted when he was about ten meters away from Li Xuan.
"I don't care who you are, but you killed the Young Star Lord of Tu Lang Star in my territory and destroyed buildings within Emerald City. This Star Lord must apprehend you to uphold the laws of Emerald Star. I advise you to surrender obediently, otherwise, if I make a move, you will have no chance of survival," Jin Wuwen said coldly.
"Star Lord Jin!" Qiner called out again.
"Pavilion Master Qiner, I have already shown you courtesy. Do not obstruct me again and again in punishing those who break the rules. Otherwise, your Lingtian Pavilion will have to relocate from my Emerald Star." Jin Wuwen directly cut off Qiner's words, leaving no room for further discussion.
Strange, what exactly did Qiner say to him? Why did he suddenly seem like a different person?
Li Xuan glanced at Jin Wuwen, seeing him looking at a spot behind him. He then turned his head to look as well.
*Whoosh.*
Just as Li Xuan was about to look, he heard a gust of wind whistling past his ears. An object instantly landed in Jin Wuwen's hand; it seemed to be the banner that Tu Gou had used.
"It seems Tu Gou was indeed killed by you. You scoundrel, you won't leave Emerald Star easily today!"
Looking at the Asking Nether Banner in his hand, Jin Wuwen roared loudly, a hint of grief in his expression.
Could it be that Tu Gou had some connection with this Jin Wuwen?
Seeing this, if Li Xuan still couldn't figure it out, he would truly be foolish.
"It seems Star Lord Jin has quite a close relationship with the Tu family," Li Xuan said with a slight smile. He was merely at the peak of the Boundless Realm; did he truly think he was afraid?
"Audacious. To this point, there is not the slightest sign of repentance. Such arrogance with the strength of a mere God-Breaking Realm. I cannot let you live today."
Jin Wuwen's pupils constricted, as if his hidden thoughts had been exposed. He then roared and shot a finger towards Li Xuan.
At this moment, Qiner's beautiful eyes widened as she looked on. But Jin Wuwen was no ordinary person, and his expression quickly returned to normal.
"Such weak power, is Star Lord Jin tickling me?" Li Xuan said with a smile, then punched out, neutralizing Jin Wuwen's attack.
"Arrogant."
Hearing this, Jin Wuwen stopped holding back and fully unleashed the spiritual energy within him.
In an instant, the entire Emerald City was plunged into darkness, and an invincible aura enveloped Li Xuan.
No wonder he could become a Star Lord. His strength is not inferior to Su Mu Bai's.
Li Xuan smiled faintly. Su Mu Bai had still died at his hands; why should he fear a mere Star Lord?
"Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate!"
Li Xuan, not to be outdone, swung his sword downwards.
In an instant, Jin Wuwen's oppressive aura was shattered by the sword energy.
This brat is so peculiar!
Jin Wuwen was inwardly shocked. Seeing Li Xuan's sword strike, he once again channeled his spiritual energy and unleashed an imprint.
Meanwhile, the onlookers and Qiner all watched with wide eyes, not daring to blink, for fear that the duel would end in a split second.
*Clang.*
The sword and the imprint collided, and a terrifying shockwave spread in all directions. The already dilapidated buildings collapsed further.
"I never expected your strength to be so formidable, no wonder Tu Gou also fell by your hands. But boy, don't get cocky too soon!"
After speaking, Jin Wuwen instantly produced a curved saber.
The curved saber was entirely red, yet its blade emitted a blue light.
"Go!"
Jin Wuwen sneered and hurled the saber forward. It instantly shot towards Li Xuan but then vanished in mid-air.
Hmm?
Seeing this, Li Xuan immediately became vigilant.
*Buzz.*
The curved saber inexplicably appeared behind Li Xuan, its blade flashing with a strange light, and slashed ferociously towards Li Xuan's neck.
Upon seeing this, Jin Wuwen's heart swelled with joy, and his expression became extremely excited. The onlookers, however, collectively gasped. Qiner's face turned pale, and she wanted to cry out a warning, but it was too late.
The curved saber silently sliced across Li Xuan's neck and then stopped in mid-air.
But strangely, there was no wound on Li Xuan's neck. After a moment, Li Xuan's figure slowly vanished.
An afterimage!
Jin Wuwen's face darkened instantly, and he began to scan his surroundings with his divine sense.
"Star Lord Jin, are you looking for me?"
As a voice echoed, Li Xuan slowly emerged from the void.
It turned out that after the curved saber had mysteriously disappeared, Li Xuan knew it possessed spatial abilities, otherwise, it wouldn't have vanished from his divine sense.
And when the curved saber appeared behind him, Li Xuan calmly unleashed his own spatial power and vanished from his original spot.
This Young Master Li Xuan actually possesses such peculiar movement techniques. He made me worry for nothing. Seeing Li Xuan appear, Qiner finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"You... you've actually comprehended spatial power!" Jin Wuwen exclaimed in shock as Li Xuan appeared.
"Spatial power! Heavens, who is this young man! He's comprehended spatial power! No wonder he was unharmed just now!"
"No wonder he dared to face Star Lord Jin alone with the strength of the God-Breaking Realm. He truly has some skills."
"..."
Listening to the murmurs of the crowd, Jin Wuwen's expression grew even darker.
"Star Lord Jin, you're such a kind person. Knowing I lacked a knife for slaughtering chickens, you've sent me one. Li Xuan thanks you for your gift."
Li Xuan smiled faintly, then his expression changed as he reached out to grab the curved saber.
Slaughtering chickens? Hearing this, the crowd could only offer wry smiles.
But what Li Xuan did next petrified them.
This brat actually wants to seize the Star Lord's spiritual weapon!
Seeing Li Xuan reach for the curved saber, everyone was shocked once more.
"Truly arrogant. Can a person of your strength even touch the Nightfall?"
Jin Wuwen didn't stop him this time. Instead, he stood with his hands behind his back and watched. The smile on his lips was particularly self-satisfied.
Seeing that Jin Wuwen had completely ignored him, Li Xuan inwardly chuckled. With Li Xuan's current physical body, how could the Nightfall possibly harm him?
Soon, under the immense power, the Nightfall offered no resistance. Li Xuan gently gripped the hilt and swung it a couple of times, then smiled satisfactorily at Jin Wuwen.
What!
Seeing the curved saber acting as docile as a cat in Li Xuan's hand, everyone was once again shocked. And Jin Wuwen's face revealed an expression of utter disbelief.
"You... what sorcery did you use! Hand over this Star Lord's Nightfall immediately. Otherwise, I will never rest until I hunt you down, be it in heaven or on earth!"
Jin Wuwen was inwardly terrified. Upon sensing it just now, he discovered that he had lost contact with the Nightfall.
"Nightfall? What a fitting name. Star Lord Jin, I thank you for your generous gift, and I shall shamelessly accept it. Farewell."
After speaking, Li Xuan tore open the void and vanished.
"Ah! Li Xuan, this Star Lord swears eternal enmity with you!"
Seeing that Li Xuan's aura had completely disappeared, Jin Wuwen roared out like a madman. Powerful attacks, devoid of any target, were unleashed.
The onlookers, seeing this, all fled, fearing that they might be caught in the wrath of Jin Wuwen.
Qiner also retreated slightly, blending into the crowd and disappearing.
