Chapter 1044 Natural-Born Mouth Cannon
Meanwhile, sword-like rays of iciness seemed to burst from Jin Muyun's eyes. The contempt in Lin Xun's words made it clear how lightly he viewed Jin Muyun.
"There is a price to pay for arrogance. When the time comes, I will use your blood to warm my wine and clean my sword with your life!"
Jin Muyun murderously said each word with a noticeable pause while giving off a tyrannical presence that seemed to lord over the universe, causing several people’s expressions to change slightly.
Lin Xun appeared completely unconcerned as he asked, ''The world says that you’re the second Yun Qingbai. So let me ask you this, have you ever beaten Yun Qingbai's records?"
Jin Muyun's eyes narrowed slightly as an almost imperceptible shadow emerged between his brows.
The crowd’s expressions turned subtle.
There was no need to guess the answer. If Jin Muyun had broken any of Yun Qingbai’s records, the news would have already stirred up Baiyujing and become known throughout the land.
However, he clearly hadn’t.
After all, the one who had broken Yun Qingbai's five records was Lin Xun!
Jin Muyun icily said, "Those are merely records set by Senior Brother Yun ten years ago. What’s there to be proud of?"
"I wouldn’t go so far as to use the word proud. I was just thinking that since you can’t even break Yun Qingbai's records from ten years ago, what qualifications do you have to make such bold claims?"
Toward the end, Lin Xun's voice contained a hint of power that made it sound like thunder in Jin Muyun's ears. It caused his heart to twitch imperceptibly as his expression fluctuated indeterminately.
"Don't think that you can do whatever you want!"
"Lin Xun, you wouldn't be so stupid as to think that you are above the law just because you broke Senior Brother Yun's records from ten years ago, would you?"
"Ignorant and arrogant fool!"
The rest of the Omega Sword Sect heaven prides spoke out and verbally attacked Lin Xun.
Lin Xun turned his head to A’lu and said, "Do me a favor."
"What favor?" A’lu was taken aback.
"Scold them." Lin Xun said, "Didn’t you claim you can scare even the True Roar Clan descendants with your scolding? This is an excellent opportunity to display your specialty."
A'lu's lips twitched as he retorted, ''What the heck, Demon God Lin?! What do you take me for? A shrew? Moreover, these guys aren’t even qualified to be scolded by me. The likes of them will only dirty my mouth."
Lin Xun was more than happy with the result. A'lu was truly a natural-born mouth cannon that could offend everyone the moment he opened his mouth. Such talent was simply amazing.
On the Omega Sword Sect side, everyone's faces, including Jin Muyun's, immediately darkened. What did this barbarian-looking person mean by stating that they weren’t even qualified to be scolded by him?
It was simply too much!
A'lu hurriedly tried to explain, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not scolding you guys but scolding you guys for being unqualified to be scolded by me. Do you guys understand?"
Pfft!
Several people could no longer hold back their laughter.
Jin Muyun and the others were so angry that their faces turned green. They originally thought that Lin Xun was asking for help because he was scared. How could they possibly have imagined that they would end up being scolded by such an unreasonable and nonsensical savage barbarian...moreover, his words were simply too malicious.
A'lu patiently explained to them, "Urgh, you guys look like you’ve misunderstood. I do despise you guys, but I'm just not in the mood to scold you. After all, not just anyone has the qualifications to be scolded by me. You guys should understand now, right?"
However, this only made the surrounding laughter grow louder. Even Lin Xun and Xiao Qinghe could not help but inwardly sigh, feeling there was no better person suited to the title natural-born mouth cannon king.’
Some people were dumbfounded and looked as if they had seen a ghost. The barbarian was definitely an unmatched oddball in the art of triggering others. He didn’t even need to use profanities to make his targets feel as if their hearts were being stabbed by knives.
"Enough!"
Jin Muyun could no longer restrain his anger. His face had become as black as the bottom of a pot, and his entire body surged with terrifying murderous intent that caused the atmosphere to abruptly turn suffocating.
"Just you wait!" Cruel coldness and intimidating sharpness violently flashed in his eyes, showing that he was genuinely angered.
A'lu was about to speak again, only to be stopped by Lin Xun. After all, it was useless to say any more at this point.
A'lu groaned, "Ugh, how did things come to this?"
Xiao Qinghe answered, "It’s all because of your mouth"
With the two of them showing vague indications of butting heads again, Lin Xun had no choice but to hurriedly mediate.
That marked the end of the brief commotion. Ultimately, the arrival of Jin Muyun and his group made the other heaven prides realize that Demon God Lin’s presence was likely going to cause another big wave!
However, Lin Xun didn’t get to enjoy any peace because the following scenes left him inwardly frowning.
More of his ‘old acquaintances’ arrived one after another.
Yu Lingkong was dressed in a jade robe and wore a feather crown on his head. Crystalline dao light seemed to linger around his tall figure, giving him a dreamy aura. His arrival naturally caused a stir in the area.
He was accompanied by several heaven prides from Longevity Land. The group drew everyone’s attention the moment they appeared.
However, Yu Lingkong only directed his attention at Lin Xun and murderously said with an indifferent and cold expression, "Lin Xun, the previous grudge will be repaid tenfold!"
His words shocked everyone.
Lin Xun grunted in acknowledgement, appearing unflustered.
The West Infinity World Azure Sea Sect disciples also arrived, led by a man named Li Qingping. When he sensed Lin Xun's presence, he asked, ''Was my younger brother, Li Qinghuan, killed by you?"
Lin Xun nodded.
Li Qingping merely said ‘good’ thrice in response. The murderous intent that flowed from his words, however, caused many experts' hair to stand on end.
Soon after, a black-robed youth appeared who exuded a piercingly cold and chilling presence.
He sized up Lin Xun as the corners of his lips curled in a sinister arc before he finally said, "My name is Gou Yanzhen, and Gou Xuxing has tasked me to kill you. Although I'm a bit reluctant, Gou Xuxing is, after all, one of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan descendants. Moreover, quite a number of experts from my clan have died at your hands, so I had no choice but to unwillingly agree."
Gou Yanzhen was a supreme heaven pride of the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan who was regarded as a ‘Ten Thousand Killer.’ Moreover, he was a murderous devil whose mere mention of his name would cause countless cultivators to pale!
When he appeared, the experts from the various sects displayed wary and scornful expressions.
However, when Gou Yanzhen showed hostility toward Lin Xun, everyone’s expressions turned subtle. Being targeted by the Black Nightmare Sky Dog Clan would not end well for anyone.
In response, Lin Xun merely smiled and said, ''You've come at the right time. I’ve recently been craving black dog meat."
Gou Yanzhen let out a sinister chuckle. He made a beheading gesture at Lin Xun before paying no further heed to him.
Many people looked at Lin Xun with complicated gazes, some gloating while others in pity.
Lin Xun was undoubtedly the most talked about younger generation expert in the East Victory World recently.
However, his rise to prominence was also accompanied by countless storms and troubles.
Take right now, for example. Before the Little Giants List Competition even began, he had already drawn hostility from Chu Beihai, Jin Muyun, Li Qingping, Yu Lingkong, and Gou Yanzhen, who had all unceremoniously declared their intentions to make Lin Xun suffer!
Anyone who saw this would have all sorts of thoughts.
"You've offended so many people." A'lu was surprised.
Xiao Qinghe said in an annoyed manner, "You think his Demon God title is for nothing?"
He was actually extremely worried inside. The development of the situation was out of his expectation, and it was difficult for him to remain composed while watching Lin Xun being targeted by so many people.
Lin Xun merely grinned in an unconcerned manner and said, ''They’re just some old rivals. The fact that they still dare to jump out only proves one thing: their memory is bad and they’ve already forgotten the painful lessons of the past."
Although his tone was casual, there was a clear hint of iciness in his voice.
It was impossible for him not to be pissed in this situation. If it wasn’t for the restrictions of the Immortal Forbidden Land’s Laws, he would never have held back like this!
In fact, he had already secretly decided that he would kill all of them after leaving this place!
Suddenly, Sword Demon Ye Chen opened his eyes. He ignored the gazes around him and directly asked Lin Xun, "Want some help?"
The atmosphere immediately changed along with the expressions of Chu Beihai, Yu Lingkong, Jin Muyun, and the others.
If Sword Demon Yu Chen interfered, it would become somewhat troublesome.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xun offhandedly replied, ''No need. After I deal with them, I don’t mind getting drunk with you if you still wish to drink."
Ye Chen was also taken aback, not expecting Lin Xun to so cleanly reject him. A smirk soon spread across his lips and developed into a hearty laugh that shook the surroundings.
Ye Chen said, "Good! But you've got to first survive before we can get drunk!"
"You only need to prepare some good wine and wait." Lin Xun smiled faintly.
"What arrogance!" Chu Beihai coldly snorted.
Jin Muyun, Yu Lingkong, and the others also sneered. They didn't believe there was any chance of Lin Xun surviving this time.
"The Spirit Treasure Holy Land group is here."
Someone announced as many gazes turned increasingly strange.
A few days ago, Lin Xun had made a big mess in Ink White Province. He had not only heavily injured the second longevity tribulation King expert, Su Kong, but also hung a group of Spirit Treasure Holy Land disciples on the walls of Wuling City.
It was tantamount to a slap in the face to Spirit Treasure Holy Land. The ancient orthodoxy was naturally furious and wished they could flay off all of Lin Xun’s skin and incinerate him to ashes.
With the Spirit Treasure Holy Land disciples also coming to participate in the Little Giants List Competition, it was easy to imagine how hostile they would be toward him.
However, Lin Xun didn't care about such things. He also looked over as a rare trace of inexplicable nervousness flared in his heart.
A familiar slender silhouette quickly came into view.
She wore a purple dress, had bright eyes, pearly-white teeth, and eyebrows that looked as if they had been painted on. Her black, silky hair was tied up in a bun behind her with a green wooden hairpin, allowing her always beautiful, bright, and clean face to be more clearly visible.
Every little gesture and movement from her gave off a refreshing charm that was distinctly unique.
Zhao Jingxuan!
After a single glance, Lin Xun couldn’t help but recall his many memories of Zhao Jingxuan. His emotions fluctuated as a strange feeling spread within him.
She still seemed to shine as brightly as ever, and she looked even more beautiful than before.
However, after parting several years ago and now reuniting, would she...still be the same person he knew back then?
