Chapter 450 Battle Wuxin

Jin Xuan looked at Luo Qingyang and smiled. "Mister Luo, have you recovered from your injuries?"

Luo Qingyang's face was still pale. "Not yet."

"Of course. In three days, Mister Luo fought successively with Yan Zhantian, Wushuang and Xiao Se, and immediately after, engaged in a battle with the new Four Guardians of Heavenly Revelations, exchanged a sword with the State Preceptor, and was under siege by the Imperial Army. Even for a sword immortal, I'm afraid that's too much to handle. Such a pity that I'm not well-versed in using a sword or I would have wanted to have a duel with the one-and-only peerless sword immortal in the world," Jin Xuan remarked ambiguously.

Luo Qingyang detected the hidden meaning in his words, observed Jin Xuan carefully, and said in a deep voice, "Heavenly Revelations City is full of hidden talents. If I were to have a duel with the Grand Eunuch, I dare not say I'm confident of winning."

Jin Xuan retracted his breath that he had deliberately unveiled and smiled lightly. "Mister Luo is too humble."

Lady Consort Xuan frowned slightly, and said impatiently, "Jin Xuan, are you stalling for time?"

Jin Xuan was taken aback. "My Lady has misunderstood Jin Xuan."

"Then take us there already," Lady Consort Xuan said with disapproval.

Luo Qingyang shook his head slowly. This martial sister of his was still the same as before. Whether it was the then number one in the martial world, Ye Dingzhi, the ruler of Beili, Mingde Emperor, the current peerless sword immortal, Luo Qingyang, or the head of the inner eunuchs whose martial arts were unfathomable, his martial sister paid them no regard at all. The tone of her voice was always so imperious, as if following her orders were a matter of course.

Jin Xuan had been living deep in the palace for a long time and was used to her. He nodded and said, "My Lady, please. Jin Xuan is just curious, what does My Lady plan on doing when we get there?"

"What else can I do? I have to save both my sons." Lady Consort Xuan looked at Jin Xuan with a matter-of-fact expression, as if she was looking at an idiot.

Jin Xuan suddenly laughed out loud, as if he was laughing at an idiot.

Luo Qingyang walked to the door and looked at the piles of corpses outside the room. He was stunned for a moment, turned and looked at Lady Consort Xuan pointedly.

Yong'an Prince Residence.

Xiao Se ambled to Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo, and Ye Ruoyi's side. He looked at the ground covered with corpses and shook his head. "Lao-Qi, this time, you've gone too far."

Xiao Yu shrugged. "Have I? But you're still alive. As long as you're still alive, I can go even further."

Xiao Se raised his head and said, "Do you really hate me so much?"

"Because of your existence, since young, my martial arts and talents will always be second among all the princes. At Jixia Academy, you became the Chancellor's student from the day you were enrolled, but I had to follow the dumb pigs in the outer academy for a whole two years before I could be personally taught by the Chancellor. I worked hard to cultivate my martial arts in the hope I could show my achievements in that area. But, you just had to enter the Unfettered Heavenly Realm at the age of seventeen. That was when I realised, although I was highly talented, I would never be better than you. Later, after you left Heavenly Revelations City, all those people started to notice me. But, I don't want to be the favoured son like you. I want to act like a dandy for all to see. I want all those people to know that I am not the same as you, Xiao Se. I'm not the same as you but I can still be the Son of Heaven!" Xiao Yu glared at Xiao Se, his eyes burning with rage. "But, you just had to come back now! The night of the banquet at Grand Golden Terrace, you forced everyone to attend, and even Father went in person! The Langya Army mutinied and they were practically storming the inner palace, but you forced the army to retreat with merely a few speeches. The Solitary Sword Immortal challenged his sword against Heavenly Revelations, and you just had to raise your hand and summon the Heaven Breached sword!

"I admit it! You are truly the chosen Son of Heaven! I will never win against you!" By the end, Xiao Yu was gritting his teeth to force his words out.

Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo exchanged a glance, and he realised that Sikong Qianluo's eyes were full of admiration. In his heart, he felt a pang of sorrow. If Xiao Yu knew that the barrage of his heartfelt words actually deepened others' admiration for Xiao Se, he wondered how he would react.

However, Xiao Yu suddenly laughed. He looked at Xiao Se and laughed out loud.

Xiao Se shook his head. "You're very odd today. You're not your usual self. You're a very calm person and you've always hidden your true feelings inside. You've been like that since we were young. Although on the outside, you appear talkative and always full of nonsense, today, you've finally said the words in your heart. That proves that right now, you're no longer calm."

"That's right. I have dreamed of this day for so long, and this day is finally here. Indeed, I can no longer restrain my current delight." Xiao Yu drew his sword and widened his eyes. "Because you are about to die!"

Xiao Se drew the Wuji staff from his waist and pointed it at Xiao Yu. "Just you?"

Xiao Se took a small step backward and the black-robed Wuxin, who had been standing behind him, walked forward.

Xiao Se shook his head. "Do you know why you will never win against me? Because you're always using other people to do your work. While I have always believed in myself."

"And your friends." Lei Wujie walked up to Xiao Se's side, his red clothes fluttering in the wind.

"Two against one? That doesn't seem right," Xiao Se asked Lei Wujie. "If Wuxin found out, he'd laugh at us."

Lei Wujie shook his head. "To be laughed at by Wuxin is not a shameful thing. Because Wuxin even laughs at his shifu. Sometimes, he even says words that ridicule Buddha. It's just that there's something I still don't understand. How did a monk like him become someone else's tool? Isn't that the real issue he should be ashamed about?"

Xiao Se looked at the black-robed man in front of him; Wuxin was giving off an eerie ghostly aura. Xiao Se used his left hand to touch his waist where he had hidden a small medicine bottle, and inside it was the potion Hua Jin had refined. They had to make Wuxin drink it to counter the poison parasite craft used on him. But looking at the current situation, they would have to defeat Wuxin first before they could force the potion into him. His brows furrowed in thought, considering Wuxin's current strength…

"There's something wrong in what you guys said." Sikong Qianluo suddenly jumped into the air with her spear and immediately attacked Wuxin. "It's not two against one, but three!"

Wuxin snapped his head up, waved his hand lightly, and a huge black-coloured bell suddenly appeared in front of him.

Inner Bell of Prajñ? Divine Art!

Sikong Qianluo's spear smacked against the bell with a crisp ringing sound. She felt her hand go numb and she almost dropped her spear. Wuxin raised his head to look at her, his mouth curled in a crooked grin. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed the spear.

"Look out!" Xiao Se attacked with his staff!

But, he was already too late.

Wuxin waved his sleeve and pulled Sikong Qianluo towards him. Then, Wuxin struck with his palm and hit Sikong Qianluo hard on her chest.

Her long spear fell out of her grip, Sikong Qianluo vomited a mouthful of fresh blood and flew backwards. Xiao Se dropped his staff hurriedly and caught her in his arms.

Wuxin only used one move and thoroughly defeated Sikong Qianluo, who had already entered the Unfettered Heavenly Realm!
