“The Jiangs wish to ally with the Tangs but it seems like they’re running into a lot of trouble. Things aren’t going as smoothly as planned.”
“Isn’t this perfect? If the Jiangs and the Tangs really joined hands, will there be any way for us to survive?”
“But Chu Yunfan is still young. Jiang Lingxiao is too strong for him. I heard that Jiang Lingxiao just recently obtained the inheritance of an Ancient Zenith Civilization relic. In terms of strength, he’s far above Chu Yunfan.”
“How did Chu Yunfan survive? The Jiangs must’ve been prepared for this. How did he escape?”
“No matter what, it will be a great battle. It will be the greatest battle between the most anticipated young geniuses in recent years.”
“I can’t wait any longer. I’ve been waiting for this battle for a whole year!”
Many of the guests were animatedly discussing Chu Yunfan’s battle with Jiang Lingxiao. However, some of them noticed the long string of heads in Chu Yunfan’s hand and felt their scalps go numb. Chu Yunfan was also an extremely fierce character. He was definitely not like what many had guessed before. He was definitely not someone who could be easily squashed by the Jiangs.
Everyone discussed animatedly. According to a serious analysis of the situation, they all thought that Jiang Lingxiao had an 80% chance of winning. It was unknown how long Chu Yunfan could hold out.
After all, Jiang Lingxiao was two years older than Chu Yunfan. For people of their age, a difference of two years meant the difference between Heaven and Earth.
Jiang Lingxiao was stunning and perfect. He had been groomed as a top genius of the Jiangs since he was young. Compared to him, Chu Yunfan was far too inferior.
In the face of the crowd’s discussions, Jiang Xuanlei and Tang Tianluo both had grim expressions on their faces as the clan leaders of their respective families.
Regardless of whether Jiang Lingxiao could win or not, it could not be denied that Chu Yunfan had successfully disrupted the situation. This added a layer of shadow to the success of the marriage alliance between the two families.
This was especially so for the Jiangs. After using so many methods, Chu Yunfan still managed to come all the way here. This was undoubtedly a humiliation to them.
“Lingxiao, don’t hold back. Although this is your engagement, since someone dares to provoke you, don’t hold back and kill him,” Jiang Xuanlei instructed Jiang Lingxiao.
Tang Tianluo, on the other hand, did not say a word. He had a deep look in his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
However, Jiang Xuanlei’s words caused many experts around him to agree. They said, “This battle will definitely be Lingxiao’s rise to fame. Chu Yunfan is just a stepping stone for him.”
“This battle will definitely be recorded in history. His rise will be unstoppable.”
These people were obviously closer to the Jiangs. They did not care about the ugly expressions on the faces of the Chu family guests.
The guests from the Tang family also felt a little strange. Many had guessed that the reason why Chu Yunfan had come to cause trouble was probably related to Tang Siyu. However, they did not know what to say at this moment.
To be fair, if it was not a marriage alliance with the Jiangs, Chu Yunfan would also be a good match for Tang Siyu. Although he was not of noble birth, he was still a branch descendant of the Chu family. He could be considered a match for the Tangs. Coupled with his astonishing talent, he would definitely be a good candidate for a marriage alliance.
However, now that Chu Yunfan had come to cause trouble because of Tang Siyu, nobody knew what to say.
Jiang Lingxiao heard Jiang Xuanlei’s words and simply nodded. Jiang Xuanlei was not his father. His father was only an elite member of the Jiangs. His father never thought that he would father a peerless genius like Jiang Lingxiao.
“Of course. He will definitely die.”
After saying that, Jiang Lingxiao looked at Chu Yunfan, and his expression became even colder. He said, “I heard that you said that the Jiangs’ Life Ender technique is only so-so?”
“That’s right, the Life Ender is nothing,” Chu Yunfan said with a sneer.
Hearing this, all the Jiangs burst into an uproar. The Life Ender was the Jiangs’ signature secret art, and not everyone was qualified to learn it. Only the most outstanding among them were qualified to learn this technique. And now, Chu Yufan was belittling their most precious art. How could they not be enraged?
“Then I shall use my Life Ender to kill you. Don’t think that just because you defeated Jiang Beixuan that you can look down on my family’s technique. He isn’t skilled enough.” Jiang Lingxiao looked at Chu Yunfan coldly, but not as if he was looking at an enemy. He looked like he was looking at an inanimate object.
In Jiang Lingxiao’s eyes, Chu Yunfan was just a walking dead man.
Just as Jiang Lingxiao finished speaking, many of the surrounding guests felt a boundless killing intent condensing. At first, it was just a little bit of killing intent, but as time passed, it quickly became denser and denser.
Sensing this great killing intent, goosebumps instantly erupted all over their exposed skin.
“Is this the killing intent of the Life Ender? How terrifying!”
Many felt a chill down their backs. These guests were not ignorant people. They knew that using the Life Ender would trigger a shocking killing intent. Stronger killing intent signified the level of this person’s comprehension of the Life Ender technique.
“This level of killing intent…Tsk, in terms of comprehension of the Life Ender, Jiang Lingxiao is already enough to rank within the top ten of the family.”
One of the Jiang descendants said.
Although it was just the top ten, it was already an extremely impressive evaluation. The Life Ender was the Jiangs’ signature secret art. There were many within the family who learned it. It was impressive enough to be ranked within the top ten.
Those ranked at the top were all Innate experts who were in their fifties or over and had cultivated for many years. In time, Jiang Lingxiao might even surpass the clan leader, Jiang Xuanlei.
“You dare say that the Life Ender isn’t enough to deal with you?” Jiang Lingxiao struck out with his saber. In an instant, the saber shined with a brilliant light and all the killing intent that was floating in the air gathered into his saber.
Boom!
Jiang Lingxiao’s saber slowly descended, and a saber aura rose up into the sky, erupting with incomparably terrifying power.
It shattered everything and crushed everything in its path.
Jiang Lingxiao’s single attack had the power to shatter mountains and rivers. Compared to him, Jiang Beixuan whom Chu Yunfan had defeated previously, was not even worth mentioning.
Although Jiang Beixuan was a few years older than Jiang Lingxiao, Jiang Beixuan’s understanding of the Life Ender was far inferior to Jiang Lingxiao’s. The difference was too great.
“Jiang Lingxiao’s comprehension of the Life Ender technique is pretty good,” Tang Tianluo commented.
“Lingsiao is one of the few existences among the Jiangs’s successive generations of talents. However, he had proved himself to this extent and made me look at him in a new light. He’s only one step away from reaching the final stage,” Jiang Xuanlei said.
“The final stage? What does that mean?” Tang Tianluo said thoughtfully.
Facing Jiang Lingxiao’s strike, Chu Yunfan finally made a move. The aura on his body was released and he shot up into the sky. He was like a long sword that had been revived, shaking the countless sword light in the surroundings to take shape and contend against the killing intent.
