Who was Huang Jianchen?
Others might not know him, but Liu Qingyan was very clear about him. Last year, she was invited to a banquet that was specially prepared for young persons from aristocratic families in the Forbidden City.
There were only the most outstanding figures on this banquet, and Huang Jianchen was one of them.
He sat there drinking in silence, looking extremely ordinary and insignificant.
But one thing that happened later impressed Liu Qingyan deeply.
At the banquet, some young persons came up with an idea to compete in martial arts to warm up the atmosphere.
Just then, Huang Jianchen shook his head and straight away bid his goodbyes. His action immediately aroused many people’s discontent.
But Huang Jianchen didn’t care about them at all. He turned around and left, which thoroughly angered one of the most famous member present.
The man, named Lu Guanxing, came from the middle-class aristocratic family, Lu Clan, and was also a gifted and talented person. He was well-known among these disciples.
Lu Guanxing stopped Huang to seek an answer for his rudeness. However, this brilliant genius with excellent fighting ability was seriously injured by Huang Jianchen in one move. It made the audience panic and the atmosphere dull in silence.
At that time, Huang Jianchen just laughed and shook his head, dropped an evaluation of “pretty but not practical martial arts” and went on.
As this matter was too shameful, all in the banquet no longer mentioned it in order not to offend Lu Guanxing and few people who were absent from this banquet knew about this.
As a guest of the banquet, Liu Qingyan knew clearly how frightful the fighting power of Huang Jianchen was. It was far beyond comparisons for the average people.
Under his ordinary appearance, he actually hid a fierce heart like a beast. In a fight, he turned into a bloodthirsty beast whose momentum was extremely horrifying.
Now, Shie Yutang made it known to all that Lin Xun’s opponent was actually Huang Jianchen. He was obviously aiming to defeat Lin Xun and disgrace his reputation!
This made Liu Qingyan feel really uncomfortable. Without Lin Xun, she would not know where to find someone to help her repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina.
Nowadays, Lin Xun was regarded as an enemy and oppressed by the influential persons who followed her. How could Liu Qingyan take this for granted?
Even Granny Wind beside Liu couldn’t help frowning and said, “Although a fight sets all feuds, hyping the news has indeed gone too far.”
“Granny Wind, as far as I know, although Huang Jianchen is Huang Jianxiong’s brother, they weren’t friendly at all. I don’t think Huang Jianchen is willing to participate in this fight.” Liu Qingyan suddenly expressed her view.
“Shie Yutang invited him.”
Granny Wind explained, “Huang Jianchen has to give Shie Yutang face even if he might have been unwilling to do this.”
Liu Qingyan pondered for a long time with her brows frowned and finally sighed, “It’s too late to recover since it has already happened. I just hope that Huang Jianchen will not hurt Lin too much, otherwise…”
Granny Wind immediately comforted, “Don’t worry, Miss. I will not let Lin Xun be killed.”
Knowing this, Liu Qingyan was still a little depressed. She only hoped that Lin Xun could win, so that no bad thing would happen again.
…
“Jin, do you know Huang Jianchen?”
As soon as Lin Xun returned home, he asked Shue Jin directly.
“Why do you mention this person?”
Shue Jin was surprised.
Lin Xun had asked this question casually so he was rather astonished to see Shue Jin’s reaction since he’d never thought that people like Shue Jin would have heard of Huang Jianchen.
Lin Xun talked about the fight three days later.
“He is your opponent?”
Shue Jin frowned, “It seems that Shie Yutang whole-heartedly intends to put you in a losing position.”
Lin Xun was confused, “Is Huang Jianchen really that strong?”
Shue Jin murmured, “Three years ago, when Huang Jianchen was thirteen years old, he stormed a pass and broke through the Human-Gang Spirit Realm, and condensing a rare second grade Pond of Spiritual Power `Chains of Dark Prison’. Although it was a little inferior to the first-class Ponds of Spiritual Power, he could still practice some special fighting methods.
“As for the reason why I know him, his pond of spiritual power can allow him to practice a kind of inherited secret method in the Heiyao Shrine so they intended to apprentice him.”
Lin nodded, “What happened later?”
Shue Jin’s eyes flashed a different color, “He refused.”
“Why?”
At this point, Lin Xun unconsciously felt surprised as Heiyao Shrine was a very mysterious and powerful force, but Huang Jianchen had refused this opportunity to join it, which was mind-boggling.
“Yes, the reason for his refusal is very simple. He wants to take a completely different path from that of all the practitioners. He is very arrogant, but his will is really strong. He is not an exaggerator.”
Shue Jin’s words let Lin Xun have some impression about this unmet Huang Jianchen.
He was also clear that someone noticed by Heiyao Shrine would absolutely not be a simple one.
“It seems that Shie Yutang has found a strong challenger for me this time…”
Lin Xun was thoughtful at that moment.
“Are you afraid?”
Shue Jin asked.
“Do you think I am?”
Lin Xun got up with a smile and turned to enter his room.
“You think a lot. How can I know your thoughts well?”
Shue Jin couldn’t help rolling his eyes. But he secretly compared both of them in his heart. According to his observations these days, Lin Xun had enough fighting power to fight against Huang Jianchen.
The only thing that worried Shue Jin was that Huang Jianchen came from an aristocratic family. If he had mastered some powerful secret methods, he could exert much more power with the help of the Pond of Spiritual Power “Chains of Dark Prison” in his body.
“Boy, it’s up to you this time. It will be quite good if you win. But if you lose, just take it as a lesson…”
Shue Jin murmured in his heart.
…
In a closed backroom, there was a roar of fierce beasts. The voice was ferocious and soul-stirring. The two subordinates who guarded the room shivered and turned pale.
But before long, the roar of these beasts turned into a sad whine, and finally came to a standstill. Bang!
The closed door of the chamber opened and a teenager came out. His body was stained with scarlet blood and a fierce and unparalleled aura emanated from him. He was like a murderer from hell.
Seeing the teenager, both subordinates became more frightened, and their eyes showed deep fear as if facing the teenager was more terrible than hearing the roar of the beast.
The young man took a snow-white towel from one of his subordinates and wiped the bloodstains off his skin. Then he said indifferently, “Go and deal with it.”
With that, he put on his clothes and walked out.
Both of them took a deep breath of relief. When they looked at each other, they could see the fear in their eyes.
Immediately, they entered the secret room and saw the bloody ground at first glance where there were three beast corpses of snow wolf, giant python and giant rock bear!
Three beasts were killed in this narrow chamber in less than fifteen minutes for a cup of tea; this power was comparable with practitioner of Earth-Gang Spirit Realm.
Looking at their fearful eyes as they breathed their last, the two subordinates could not help but shiver once again when they imagined the bloody youth.
When the teenager exited the door, the terrible ferocity all over his body had disappeared like a receding tide.
In the sunshine, the young man appeared neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, neither ugly nor handsome. He was very ordinary and unremarkable, which was quite different from what had happened just now.
He went into a hall in silence where there was already someone waiting.
“Jianchen, here you are.” The man was dressed in a jade green robe and had a bun on his head. It was the Young Sword King, Shie Yutang.
Undoubtedly, this ordinary-looking teenager was Huang Jianchen!
Huang nodded his head and sat silently on one side, looking very dull. This was his character. When he was not fighting, he cherished his words like gold and was always silent.
Shie Yutang obviously knew his character very well. He casually said, “Things have been arranged. At the time of Wu (Chinese unit of time, almost 12:00 in the noon). Three days later, Lin Xun will fight with you in the Arena.”
Huang Jianchen was silent for a moment and said, “Killing him is the most effective way to solve the problem.”
Shie Yutang shook his head, “No, you can’t kill him at this time. Miss Yan needs his master to repair a musical instrument.”
His voice was flat, but his tone was commanding.
Huang Jianchen was silent for a long time. He finally nodded and said, “I’ll try my best.”
Shie Yutang frowned and seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with the answer. He gazed at Huang for a long time and said, “Three days later, I’ll pick you up.”
Then he got up and left.
“Wait a minute.”
Huang stopped him.
Shie Yutang stopped and asked, “What else is it?”
“The beasts you sent here are too weak. Remember to send some powerful ones tomorrow.”
Shie Yutang picked up his eyebrows and said, “As you wish.”
…
Three days passed soon. It was a sunny day. Early in the morning, Lin Xun woke up from meditation as usual.
He followed his usual routine: washing, eating and practicing.
“You are confident, aren’t you?”
Shue Jin made a joke.
Lin Xun packed up properly and then laughed, “It’s just a fight. Do I need to be nervous and look here and there?”
Shue Jin laughed, “Stop talking and go now.”
“You’re not going? It’s going to be very fantastic.”
Lin Xun asked.
“I’m not interested in two little guys fighting with each other. It’s too boring. I’d better stay at home, just drink and sleep.”
Shue Jin said casually.
Lin Xun made a sound like he understood and strode out of the door with a laugh.
When he walked to the busy streets of Mist City, he heard many discussions about this confrontation. People were gathering in the direction of the Arena.
Even on the Spiritual Screen in the center of the city, the news of today’s confrontation was being broadcasted.
All this made Lin Xun sigh in his heart that if he really failed this time, wouldn’t Shie Yutang be very happy for his successful plan?
