Jade Dynasty: I am the master of the Burning Sword, my swordsmanship is unparalleled.

Chapter 106 The Death of Li Xun
"call out!"

Inside the manor, Zhang Xiaofan went straight in, his brows furrowing as he coldly stared at the two Ghost King Sect members beside him.

The two Ghost King Sect members felt a chill run down their spines under Zhang Xiaofan's gaze, and involuntarily took two steps back, their hands holding the whips trembling slightly.

As the whip stopped, Li Xun, covered in blood, slowly lifted his heavy eyelids and looked at Zhang Xiaofan, who had appeared in the courtyard. A hint of guilt seemed to flash in his eyes.

"Father-in-law, you have some impressive skills. You truly deserve to be the sect leader of the Ghost King Sect!"

Zhang Xiaofan spoke softly, his voice suppressing a hint of anger. As if sensing his presence, a streak of crimson light suddenly flew out from a bright red bridal chamber in the manor and pierced straight in front of Wan Renwang.

Wan Renwang's face immediately darkened, but after a moment of contemplation, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and waved to the Ghost King Sect members around him.

Upon seeing this, the Ghost King Sect members breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Wan Renwang, and prepared to retreat.

Just then, a stream of dark blue light flew over again, hovering above the courtyard. Several streams of dark blue light transformed into chains, which flew out from the flute.

At the same time, a gentle breeze blew in from nowhere, and as the night wind blew out from the holes of the flute, it also produced a series of distant and desolate flute sounds.

Just as the Ghost King Sect members were about to resist as the chains flew away, a mournful flute melody entered their ears, causing them to pause in their actions.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the Ghost King Sect members were stunned, several chains pierced directly into their bodies.

The next moment, an extremely evil and ferocious suction force erupted, actually drawing the essence and blood of those people from their bodies and sending it along the chains toward the flute.

"Zhang Xiaofan!"

With a deep shout, Wan Ren slammed his hand down in a fit of rage, and the stone table shattered into countless fragments that flew in all directions.

"Qiang!"

With a flash of sword light, Zhang Xiaofan had already grasped the Burning Sword in his hand, its tip pointing directly at Wan Renwang. He remained silent, but a murderous aura was already surging around him.

Wan Renwang's pupils suddenly contracted, and a sense of apprehension arose in his heart. He stared intently at Zhang Xiaofan, his chest heaving, but in the end, he did not lash out.

As the crowd fell silent, the eyes of those few Ghost King Sect members dimmed, and soon they turned into several dried corpses lying on the ground.

"You just want me to kill him, right? I've agreed!"

Zhang Xiaofan retrieved the Burning Sword, placed it upside down on his back, and said in an icy voice. Seeing this, Wanrenwang finally smiled a little. But Zhang Xiaofan's next words made Wanrenwang's face darken.

"But now, this is not your place, please leave my house!"

This manor was originally intended as the wedding home for Zhang Xiaofan and Biyao, and was naturally given to Biyao by Wanrenwang. Now that Zhang Xiaofan and Biyao have completed their wedding ceremony, it naturally belongs to the two of them.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaofan's words were not wrong, and Wanrenwang had no way to refute them, especially since today was Zhang Xiaofan's wedding day, yet blood was stained in the courtyard.

Taking a few deep breaths, Wan Renwang forced a smile and replied softly.

"In that case, I won't disturb my son-in-law any longer."

With that, Wanrenwang suddenly flung his sleeves and stormed out. Qinglong, who was guarding the side, had no choice but to follow.

After leaving the courtyard, Qinglong immediately asked.

"Sect Master, are we just leaving like this? What if..."

“Li Xun is now a complete cripple. Whether he is released or not makes no difference; the righteous path will definitely suspect him.” Wan Renwang sneered. Before Zhang Xiaofan arrived, they had already used all the treasures of the Demonic Sect to target Li Xun, hoping to extract the secrets of Burning Incense Valley from him.

However, Wanrenwang underestimated Li Xun, originally thinking that he was just a young disciple who had just started out and could not withstand the torment of the Demonic Sect's treasure.

Unexpectedly, Li Xun was a tough nut to crack. Not only did he not say anything, but he also endured the excruciating pain, bit off his own tongue, and swallowed it.

This is why Zhang Xiaofan was so angry. In his eyes, all living beings should be respected, but Wan Renwang was trampling on the dignity of living beings.

"But what if Zhang Xiaofan refuses to share a room with Miss and then denies it afterward?"

Do you think there was nothing wrong with the wine he just drank?

Upon hearing this, Wanrenwang sneered, a smug look flashing in his eyes.

What he wanted was a peerless genius like Zhang Xiaofan, who, under his scheme, would gradually fall into the demonic sect and become a sharp sword in his hands. For this, he could even tolerate Zhang Xiaofan's repeated offenses and even ignore the deaths of his disciples.

"But Sect Master, you drank it too. Won't there be any problems?"

Qinglong was startled, but asked with a worried expression.

Wanrenwang waved his hand with a smile, then turned and gave Qinglong a deep look. Qinglong looked a little confused, as if he didn't understand why Wanrenwang was looking at him like that.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Zhang Xiaofan is proficient in many Taoist arts and has keen senses. If I were to poison someone, he would definitely notice. So, that single cup of wine is not a problem at all."

Qinglong's heart stirred, and he replied softly.

"Is that the wine from Miss's side?"

"That's right. Whether Zhang Xiaofan wants to consummate his marriage with Yao'er or not, he will drink the nuptial wine with her. At that time, he will have no choice but to drink it."

Wan Renwang smiled smugly; this was an inspiration he had drawn from the story of You Ji and Zhang Xiaofan.

……

Inside the courtyard, Zhang Xiaofan stared at Li Xun, who was now completely unrecognizable, his face tense, remaining silent.

Li Xun's limbs were completely twisted, and his body was covered with all sorts of strange holes. Some of these holes even had something left inside. His face, especially his chin, was covered in blood.

Li Xun looked at Zhang Xiaofan, who was dressed in a bright red wedding gown, and forced a smile, as if he were offering his congratulations.

Zhang Xiaofan lowered his eyes slightly, raised the Burning Sword in his hand, and was about to make a move when he saw that there were streams of magical power surging on Li Xun's body, which was full of blood holes.

However, as the cultivation technique within Li Xun's body began to circulate, blood gushed out again, and at the same time, magical power leaked out from the completely destroyed meridians.

Zhang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Li Xun, who was covered in blood but whose aura was gradually growing stronger.

After a long while, Zhang Xiaofan looked at those eyes that were becoming brighter and brighter, and slowly spoke.

"Thank you for your gift. It's a pity I didn't have the chance to invite you to my wedding!"

"laugh!"

As the longsword pierced his heart, Li Xun's life was frozen in that blood-stained smile.
