Chapter 1231 1231: What Is the Intent?

"Huang Shutong, I am not a beast, and I did not force Yue Yuyao. She willingly chose to be with me." At that moment, a mocking voice echoed in the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Wan Jingxuan appeared at some unknown time.

He looked at Huang Shutong with a wicked smile, as if observing a defeated rooster.

Seeing Wan Jingxuan appear, hatred burned fiercely in Huang Shutong's eyes: "Wan Jingxuan, Yuyao has never liked you; she could never willingly be with you."

Wan Jingxuan laughed, "Same goes for you. Indeed, my reputation is vile, and Yue Yuyao indeed has never liked me. No matter how good your reputation compared to mine, Yue Yuyao has never liked you either."

"You..." Huang Shutong was rendered speechless by Wan Jingxuan's words.

Indeed, though Huang Shutong had been deeply enamored with Yue Yuyao for years, Yue Yuyao only considered him as her best friend, never having romantic feelings towards him.

Ignoring the embarrassed and angry Huang Shutong, Wan Jingxuan turned to Lin Fei and said, "Huang Shutong is right. Yue Yuyao used her body to strike a deal with me, to avenge her family."

Lin Fei's expression remained calm, showing no sign of surprise: "Then why hasn't Young Master Wan taken action?"

Wan Jingxuan shook his head and said, "No, although Yue Yuyao is exceptionally beautiful, her petty tricks are not enough to make me her pawn, to be driven by her will.

Lin Fei, to be honest, I quite admire your strength and talent. If you are willing to be loyal to me, I'll not only guarantee not to harm you but will also hand over Yue Yuyao, that little wench, for you to do as you please."

"Wan Jingxuan, you beast!" Huang Shutong was furious, his eyes flashing blood-red like a ravenous wolf.

However, Wan Jingxuan paid no heed to Huang Shutong, saying, "Huang Shutong, I advise you to shut up. If you insist on bringing trouble upon yourself, don't blame me for being ruthless."

But facing Wan Jingxuan's warning, Huang Shutong's fury only escalated: "Wan Jingxuan, today I will kill you."

As soon as the words fell, Huang Shutong's sword roared, slicing through the air, causing waves of air like lightning, fiercely targeting Wan Jingxuan.

The speed of Huang Shutong's sword carried the power to change the weather!

Being a capable master from Ten Thousand Swords City and one of the Saint Heirs, Huang Shutong's strength was formidable, reaching the Ninth Layer of Saint Master. When attacking with full force, and wielding a Sixth Grade Saint Master magical artifact sword in hand, he could effectively attack any expert from the Saint Sect's first to fifth layers.

Striking with all his might, Huang Shutong aimed to end Wan Jingxuan's life because Yue Yuyao was irreplaceably important to him, coupled with Wan Jingxuan obtaining Yue Yuyao's body, stirred unbearable hatred in his heart.

Yet, facing Huang Shutong's terrifyingly powerful sword, a hint of disdain flickered in Wan Jingxuan's eyes, as he coldly sneered: "Trivial skills, dare to show off."

Then, a sword light appeared in Wan Jingxuan's hand, it was a sword as soft as water, the scattered sword light exuded a murderous aura.

"This is the Wan family's ancestral sword, the Golden Thread Sword!" Upon seeing the sword light in Wan Jingxuan's hand, Qiu Qiming's face changed slightly, couldn't help saying.

Though Lin Fei didn't know what kind of sword the Golden Thread Sword was, he could clearly sense that the soft sword in Wan Jingxuan's hand had a noticeably stronger aura than the sword in Huang Shutong's hand.

Even though Huang Shutong saw the formidable power of the soft sword in Wan Jingxuan's hand, his heart burned with hatred, only thinking of killing Wan Jingxuan for revenge, he no longer remained calm, continuing his attack towards Wan Jingxuan.

Boom.

As Huang Shutong's attack approached within meters of Wan Jingxuan, Wan Jingxuan's figure also struck out.

As the two attacked, their bodies were bathed in blinding saintly light, with furious aura and their swords' light darted like lightning across the sky.

Swish, swish, swish.

At the moment their figures crossed, they exchanged several sword strikes at lightning speed, with the fierce gusts of wind and dazzling balls of light, then after a booming crash, each retreated backward.

Poof!

Huang Shutong retreated over ten meters before stabilizing his footing, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper filled with pain, a bleeding wound was seen on his left chest.

Blood flowed profusely, staining his chest clothes red.

Needless to say, Huang Shutong was struck by Wan Jingxuan's sword.

And severely injured!

Compared to Huang Shutong's severe injury, Wan Jingxuan appeared quite relaxed, having only retreated a few meters, with a composed expression.

The blade of the Golden Thread Sword in his hand soaked in blood, it was the blood from stabbing Huang Shutong's chest.

The contrast between their skills was evident.

Though their movement and strikes were swift throughout, Lin Fei clearly saw through the exchanges, Huang Shutong performed three strikes while Wan Jingxuan only struck once.

Yet, Huang Shutong failed to injure Wan Jingxuan, and couldn't even block one of Wan Jingxuan's sword strikes.

Wan Jingxuan's one strike was fatal.

Besides Wan Jingxuan's sword was obviously stronger than Huang Shutong's, even more important was Wan Jingxuan's strength exceeding Huang Shutong by far.

With a cold smile, Wan Jingxuan looked at Huang Shutong and said, "I've warned you not to seek trouble, since you insist on dying, I'm obliged to oblige."

After saying that, Wan Jingxuan took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood from the soft sword and then placed the Golden Thread Sword into his Storage Ring.

Huang Shutong stared wide-eyed, as if wanting to devour Wan Jingxuan alive, his mouth emitted cackling sounds, "Wan... Jing... Xuan, I won't... let you... off, even as a ghost..."

Upon saying "you", Huang Shutong spat another mouthful of blood, then collapsed on the ground, dead.

Yet he died with eyes wide open, death unresolved.

Wan Jingxuan ordered, "Someone come, carry this man who attempted to assassinate me, and who I have defeated to the back garden for burial."

"Yes, Second Young Master." Following the reply, two cultivation experts swiftly entered the courtyard, carried away Huang Shutong's corpse, and disappeared from the courtyard doorway.

Despite killing Huang Shutong, Wan Jingxuan seemed unaffected, a relieved smile on his face as he turned to Lin Fei, saying, "Now no one disturbs our conversation, Young Master Lin, what are your thoughts on what I said earlier?"

Lin Fei showed no expression, merely looked at Wan Jingxuan and asked, "Second Young Master, may I ask why you chose to recruit me rather than Huang Shutong?"

Wan Jingxuan listened, then laughed heartily, "Haha, that's a good question, indeed, I want to recruit you, to have you as a trusted aide to accomplish a major task, as for Huang Shutong, driven insane by a woman, he can't achieve anything."
