Chapter 766: Chapter 764: Sudden Change, The Crisis of the Crowd

In an instant, Lin Xuan was before Zhou Xu, the golden Thunder Sword in his hand rapidly thrusting down.

“What!” The crowd was shocked, not expecting Lin Xuan to be so decisive.

Zhou Xu’s pupils contracted sharply, and at the critical moment, he once again used his lifesaving move, instantly shifting his body sideways by thirty feet.

“Still have an ace up your sleeve?”

Lin Xuan’s sword missed its mark, and he furrowed his brow, the opponent proving to be quite troublesome, still having a lifesaving trick up to this point.

However, he was still unable to escape from Lin Xuan’s hand.

The next moment, he stepped forward again, the golden Thunder Sword hovering over his opponent’s head.

In an instant, Zhou Xu’s face turned exceedingly ugly; he had used up all his cards.

He felt an unbearable sense of frustration inside.

This was completely different from what he had anticipated—in his mind, the one kneeling and begging for mercy should have been Lin Xuan!

But now, the one who had failed was actually him.

“I am very curious, I don’t know you, where did you get such animosity to specifically target me?” Lin Xuan asked.

He was very puzzled in his heart, so he wanted to ask now.

“Hmph, indeed we haven’t met before, even the things about you, I learned from my sister’s mouth.”

“She said you are a Sword Dao genius, a rarity in ten thousand years, I disagreed, because I am the number one Sword Dao genius!”

Zhou Xu said through clenched teeth.

“Your sister?” Lin Xuan was even more puzzled.

“Zhou Jianying, you shouldn’t have forgotten her!” Zhou Xu said with a cold snort.

“It’s her!” Lin Xuan was astonished, a figure emerged in his heart, a woman dressed in green, wielding a three-foot green blade, looking down on all.

This girl who had fought with him at the Azure Dragon Society event in the Southern Heavenly Domain, Lin Xuan naturally wouldn’t forget.

But what he hadn’t expected was that the opponent’s praise for him had invited such trouble.

“Compared to your sister, you’re not even worthy to be called trash!” Lin Xuan said coldly, and then he swung his sword down, cutting off a lock of the opponent’s black hair.

“If this wasn’t a match, you’d already be dead!”

Having said that, he turned away, no longer paying attention to the other.

“Damn it!”

Zhou Xu’s face turned dark, and his body trembled.

Today was a day of immense humiliation for him! He would definitely avenge this affront one day!

Zhou Xu, struggling to stand, shifted his form and quickly ran towards the foot of the mountain.

Without securing first place, he wouldn’t accept any position.

Watching that disappearing figure, everyone’s heart trembled.

Lin Xuan was too strong! Even Zhou Xu was no match, there probably wasn’t anyone here who could be his opponent.

“This tournament’s first place, I’ll take it, whoever doesn’t agree can come over now!”

Lin Xuan declared in a deep voice.

So domineering, too domineering! This was tantamount to declaring war on the other five!

“Brother Xuan is mighty!” members of Dragon Sword Pavilion shouted excitedly.

This domineering and powerful youth was their boss!

“Hmph!”

Shen Yaotian stared at Lin Xuan, letting out a cold snort, but didn’t make a move.

The previous battle had startled him, and although he was loath to admit it, he knew he was not Lin Xuan’s opponent.

“Even if we aren’t your match, you can’t claim first place with just a few harsh words!” Shen Yaotian said coldly.

“Hmph, I’ll fight you!” Dongfang Fenghuang had a fiery temper and couldn’t hold back any longer.

Her Flame Spirit Whip flickered in her hand as the Divine Flame pulsed on her body, burning furiously.

On the other side, Xiao Li also took a stance, his eyes brimming with War Intent, his body enveloped in swirling Sword Energy.

“The recent battle must have taken a lot out of your Spiritual Power. I won’t take advantage of that, you rest up before we start!”

Despite Lin Xuan appearing very strong, he had great confidence in himself.

Lin Xuan simply smiled, this guy, still the same as ever.

He looked around, suddenly noticing Lan Bai, who had been sitting quietly, standing up with a faint smile on his face.

“Sorry, but this time, the title of the top newcomer is mine.”

His voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly reached everyone’s ears.

“The top spot goes to you?” Shen Yaotian sneered coldly, “Who do you think you are, don’t you think you’re being too arrogant?”

The others frowned as well, staring at Lan Bai with unwelcoming expressions.

Even Lin Xuan was surprised; he couldn’t have imagined this reticent young man speaking up at such a moment.

“Whether I am arrogant or not, you’ll know very soon.”

Lan Bai chuckled lightly, approaching the crowd with an easygoing and self-assured demeanor, completely ignoring everyone present.

“Let’s see what strength you have to say such words!” Shen Yaotian’s expression was fierce as he swung his palm at him.

Tremendous Spiritual Power swiftly converged, forming a massive Light Palm in the air.

But Lan Bai did not dodge or even bother to look.

He seemed even more arrogant than Lin Xuan.

“Seeking death!”

Shen Yaotian’s anger flared upon being ignored, and he swung his palm out with increased speed.

“Disperse!”

With a faint smile, Lan Bai lightly uttered a single word.

The next moment, that terrifying Light Palm in the sky disappeared, turning into a shower of light that scattered to the ground.

“What, how is this possible?” Shen Yaotian was stunned.

The crowd below was also dumbfounded: “What’s happening here?”

Whether it was them or anyone else, all were frozen in shock, even the few elders high on the clouds showed a trace of surprise.

Those several instructors looked astonished, while the two elders frowned slightly.

Elder Hua carefully sensed their surroundings, extending her slender jade hand to brush through the air, and then a smile crept on her lips.

She turned her head, exchanged a glance with the elder who personified the grace of Heaven and Earth, and nodded slightly.

It seemed these two elders had understood.

But Lin Xuan and the others did not understand, especially Shen Yaotian, who wore a look of absolute astonishment.

His attack, just neutralized by a single word? This was too inconceivable!

“Impossible, I don’t believe it!” Shen Yaotian’s face turned dark as he quickly raised his hand, preparing for another attack.

But the next moment, he stood frozen in place.

“What, this cannot be!” he screamed in terror, his expression extremely frightened.

“My Spiritual Power? What have you done, why can’t I mobilize my Spiritual Power!” Shen Yaotian panicked, trying several times without success.

He couldn’t even draw upon the Spiritual Energy in the air anymore.

Hearing this, Lin Xuan and the others were shocked, each checking their own bodies, and one after another their faces turned unsightly.

Because they, too, could no longer mobilize their Spiritual Power.

“What’s going on?” Dongfang Fenghuang stamped her feet in anger.

Lin Xuan squinted his eyes and remained silent.

“Poison, it’s poison!” Murong Qingcheng sighed, “It seems we all forgot, he is a Poison Master.”

Poison!

The crowd was taken aback, faces filled with shock.

“Indeed, the insight of Murong Heavenly Girl is exceptional; you realized the problem so quickly.” Lan Bai chuckled lightly, “Correct, it is indeed poison.”

“But he didn’t touch us, how could he poison us?” Shen Yaotian asked with an ugly face.

“Why would I need to touch you to poison you?” Lan Bai stood with his hands behind his back, full of pride, “If I wish, all things under heaven can become the means for my poisoning.”

“For instance, this time, I just had to release the poison into the air and let you all slowly inhale it.”

“And this kind of poison is colorless and tasteless?” Xiao Li asked in a deep voice.

“Yes, colorless and tasteless. Below the Third Level Venerable, no one can detect it,” Lan Bai said, “Without my antidote, you are all no different from being useless.”

“Alright, let me ring the Golden Bell and then slowly play with you all.” Lan Bai laughed out loud, walking towards the mountain peak.
