655 - The Layout Was Completed by Colliding with the Sword at the Cost of His Life; Non-Participant Lin Chimou

In the spectator stands, Cao Guan, the overall person in charge of the Golden Autumn Sword Competition, grew excited. "Oh! This young man is arrogant!"

After Zhang Guangmu exchanged blows with Shi Lie, there was no instant defeat after just a few moves. Everyone understood the rules and fought their swords in a measured, methodical fashion.

As sword shadows crisscrossed, the atmosphere at the venue gradually heated up.

This was exactly the development Cao Guan wanted to see!

But Lin An, the Demon Emperor Sword beside him, remained indifferent. In an even tone, he said, "I only hope Zhang Guangmu is strong enough."

"People lacking ability have no right to be arrogant."

Cao Guan thought Lin An's reaction was perfectly normal.

After all, he was one of the renowned Three Sword Emperors. Even the current top-tier Seven Sword Stars had no choice but to take him seriously, let alone Zhang Guangmu, a rookie swordsman who had only just made his debut.

Cao Guan stared unblinkingly at the Yi Jian Platform and casually asked, "I heard Mu Youhai and MacGarde both died by Zhang Guangmu's sword. Isn't that strong enough?"

Lin An shook his head. "Not enough."

Shi Lie was a swordsman who had betrayed Feihong at the same time as Mu Youhai and MacGarde. Although he was stronger than those two dead men, the difference was limited.

After the host's provocations, Shi Lie still barely maintained his reason and behaved relatively conservatively.

Zhang Guangmu's attitude, however, was extremely arrogant and overbearing.

By comparison, Zhang Guangmu seemed insufficiently modest and restrained, with an excess of confidence.

But...

It was precisely because of this that the first swordsmanship clash of the Golden Autumn Sword Competition became exceptionally captivating.
