Painting of the Nine Immortals

In midair, Ling Xian was bathed in fresh blood. Like a God who’s descended into the mortal world, his stance was divine.

The remaining two were feeling extremely shocked. They stumbled back and their bodies shook.

Now, they have finally realized the truth. Though the truth is cruel and they didn’t want to believe it, they had to believe it!

The truth is that Ling Xian and them were not on the same level.

Their capability may be the same, but their battling abilities were like Heaven and Earth!

Pity though, they realized too late.

“Since you dare to find me at my doorstep, then be prepared to die.”

Ling Xian glared at them and gold light expanded around him. He didn’t feel any pity nor did he act with hesitation. He raised his hand and he slammed down like a mountain that made everything around him barren.

The expression of the two changed. They quickly used their techniques but the moment they reached Ling Xian, they were destroyed!

Retch!

The two of them puked out blood and they quivered in midair. Their breathing has weakened.

This made them feel fearful. They felt like the person before them was far too terrifying and basically impossible to beat!

“Die!”

Speaking gently, Ling Xian felt far too lazy to waste any more time. He tore open space and appeared before an elder right away. Then, the Hand of Breakage was summoned and this person’s chest bone was crushed.

Next, his right hand formed a fist. As it crushed through space, it also broke all the bones in the last man’s body.

Bang, bang!

Two stifled noises arose and two corpses collapsed to the ground. Their eyes were full of awe and regret.

They originally wanted to kill Ling Xian to avenge themselves. However, they didn’t expect that not only did they not kill him, but they also became the ones getting killed.

If they could redo this, even if they get 100 more stomachs, they wouldn’t dare to provoke Ling Xian.

“The elders of the Wang Clan… you guys sure do not give up.”

Ling Xian hissed and walked over to Huang Jiu Ge, who was covered in blood. His right hand flashed and a golden Dan appeared before her.

“Take this Golden Dan of Frozen Blood and rest well.”

Hearing this, Huang Jiu Ge nodded with a smile and swallowed the Dan. She then used her Qi to help digest it and heal.

One has to admit that this Dan is extraordinary. The moment it entered her system, her face reddened.

This made Ling Xian sighed in relief. The way he looked at her was filled with a little surprise.

He knew that any other completion leveled cultivator would’ve been killed by an original leveled cultivator. There was nothing to question. However, Huang Jiu Ge had endured much time under the attack of six original levels. That was no easy feat.

Perhaps, only the strong-willed phoenixes could pull this off.

“You are a half-blooded phoenix after all, your liveliness is truly exceptional.”

Ling Xian exclaimed, his eyes shone with anticipation. “I wonder how capable she will become after she transforms into a pure-blooded phoenix.”

Then, he began to wonder how powerful he himself will become after transformation.

But right now was not the time to do that.

“Come out. You already came, what’s the point of hiding.”

Ling Xian’s expression was calm. He had felt someone getting closer when he killed the last two original leveled cultivators.

This is why he was speaking like this.

Clap, clap!

A series of clapping arose. Then, an army with horses walked out.

The leader of the gang was a man in a black robe. He was very handsome and clean looking. Every step he took, he looked like he owned the place.

Behind him, four men followed. Though they were behind him, they all appeared magnificent.

“You defeated the Goddess of Battles after all. You sure are powerful.”

The man complimented. However, it was obvious that there was some disdain on his face.

“You aren’t so weak yourself.”

Ling Xian said and got straight to the point, “You are not from the Wang Clan. Speak of your intention.”

“I’m here to kill you of course.”

The man continued to smile and he smiled carelessly. He stared at Ling Xian, who was before him, “I am the strongest inheritor of the previous generation of the Zhao Clan. I have been asked by the Clan Leader to come and kill you.”

“The Zhao Clan?”

Ling Xian frowned and pointed at the corpses on the ground, “Did they send you signals?”

“Smart.”

The man smiled brightly, “But even if they didn’t, the Zhao Clan would’ve found you. It’s not hard. It’s your fault for offending us and not knowing your own capabilities.”

“Everyone thinks I overestimate myself. Don’t they ever consider the fact that I have the right to?”

Ling Xian answered softly. He was no longer the young cultivator from before. The capabilities he has today meant he could rule the world unless those of the fifth levels are here.

Though the Zhao Clan did contain those of the fifth level, those people don’t come out easily. Even if they do, he was confident that he can get away easily and fully.

Therefore, why would he be afraid?

“Confidence? That is a funny joke. So I am smiling.”

The man looked over in contempt. “Why do you think we all say you overestimate yourself? One, my Zhao Clan is too powerful. Two, you are too weak.”

“That depends on who the opponent is. To those of the fifth level, I am truly nothing.”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up, “But to you, I am a nightmare.”

“Oh really? Then I can’t wait for the moment I crush your bones. Then, you will realize how stupid you are.”

The man was still laughing. He was laughing in mockery and laughing coldly.

“Then, don’t speak too much. Your target is to kill me and there is no way out other than fighting.”

Ling Xian’s expression was calm. He waved around his sleeve and pushed Huang Jiu Ge hundreds of yards away to protect her from the battle fires that will soon ensue.

He could sense it. This opponent is strong and is already at the peak of the original level. The four people following him aren’t weak either.

Therefore, this was going to be an intense fight that cannot promise Huang Jiu Ge’s safety.

“I haven’t fought for decades. Unless the Clan Leader asks, I would’ve waited till the competition of the Heaven’s Favorites and I would’ve won first place.”

The man looked arrogant. He continued to look at Ling Xian with much disdain. “You are unlucky. This is my first fight after my isolation and I will give it my all.”

“You are the one who’s unlucky.”

Ling Xian glared at him, “The first fight since isolation will haunt you for the rest of your life.”

Then, he suddenly remembered something and added, “Of course, being defeated means you will die. So being humiliated or not doesn’t really matter.”

Then, he suddenly remembered something

“You are seeking death. But, I will not kill you. I will make you my servant and enslave you.”

The man laughed in contempt. His arrogance was like a God and he didn’t think anything of Ling Xian.

“Then, let’s fight.”

Ling Xian was far too lazy to speak more. He stepped forward once and his white robe danced in the wind and the river and mountains lost their colors!

HOMMM!

Ling Xian attacked first. Bloody energy and dazzling gold light howled out and headed to the man with much prowess.

At once, space shook and everyone was in shock!

An astonishing fight was about to begin!
