Chapter 525: The Prey

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

In midair, Ling Xian walked down, stepping on the golden path and bathing in the heavenly light. He appeared like a true God who was descending into the mortal world. His demeanor dominated all beings and suppressed everyone within three thousand miles.

His brows were straight like swords, his robe was white like snow. A smile that was only faintly there hung on his face. He was not emitting any hint of spiritual energy, yet there was something profound and enlightening about him. It was eerie and hard to describe.

Even though all the other Heaven's Favorites standing on the different paths were Heaven's Favorites with astonishing abilities, because they were standing beside Ling Xian, they became decorations that accented Ling Xian's extraordinariness.

His demeanor was far too exceptional, and he was far too attention snatching. He was similar to the Sun in the sky, as he was eternally emitting a wave of light. Even in a sea of people, he was the first one to grasp everyone's attention and have everyone notice him.

Therefore, the moment Ling Xian appeared, he overshadowed most Heaven's Favorites radiance. He became the only being between Heaven and Earth, and everyone was subconsciously focused on him, and everyone found it hard to shift their gaze.

Of course, the gazes that were fixated on him were not gazes of praises. They were gazes of coldness.

"Hehe, his overall temperament is rather special. In this entire generation, it's hard to find many like him." The golden roc snickered coldly. Its eyes were full of killer's intent. "Sadly, he has provoked my kind, which means it will be guaranteed that he will not be able to walk on this Taoism path anymore."

The six-armed gorilla had a ferocious expression. "That's right. So what he appears exceptional? So what he is talented in multiple disciplines? He will end up dead anyway."

"He has to die." The six-headed spiritual lion was also full of killer's intent and vowed to slaughter Ling Xian here and now in order to bring the dead inheritors justice.

The other spiritual beings all released frigid killer's intent the moment Ling Xian showed his face. Their energy tossed and turned and shot through the cloud.

When all the spiritual beings' killer's intent converged, the terror of it all reached its extreme. Even the earth changed color, and the heavens were caught off guard!

"Hmm?"

Sensing the intense and immense amount of killer's intent, Ling Xian frowned. He glanced over at the multiple different spiritual beings, not sure what was happening.

Based on his observation, all of these living beings were powerhouses. The weakest one was of the advanced stage of the completion level. All of these spiritual beings' killer's intent was focused on him and him alone. This made him very confused, as he was uncertain when he provoked this ground of living beings.

The rest of the Heaven's Favorites who were walking down the golden path had confusion on their faces as well. After they realized that the killer's intent was completely geared towards Ling Xian, their confusion transformed into pity right away.

Any of these spiritual beings, if it stepped out, can be known as a powerhouse. They were horrifyingly capable, and if they linked hands, then their battling abilities would defeat all enemies, and nobody of their level would be able to defend against them!

Even if a true immortal reincarnated or if the God of Warrior was reborn, they would not be able to defend against all these enemies at this moment!

"The golden roc, the six-armed gorilla, the nine-headed spiritual lion… no wonder I thought everyone looked familiar. These are all spiritual beings I have killed."

Staring at the giant silhouettes before him, Ling Xian frowned and somewhat understood the intention of the presence of these spiritual beings.

The moment he guessed the true intention of these beings, the gold roc spoke out. The first statement it made quickly became the initial act of the war.

"Ling Xian, you killed the strongest inheritor of the golden roc kind. Today, I will make you pay with your blood!"

As its voice trailed off, the six-armed gorilla howled loudly and shattered all the land around it.

Its body suddenly turned completely black, and its flesh red eyes were staring deadly at Ling Xian. It announced, "Ling Xian, the inheritor of the six-armed gorilla kind also died under your hand. You have to pay with your own life!"

The other beings were silent throughout all this. However, their chilling killer's intent revealed their determination of how much they wanted to kill Ling Xian.

Ling Xian, killing the strongest inheritor of their kind, this was the same as killing their future clan leader. This hatred runs ocean deep and will not be resolved unless one party dies.

Therefore, most of the powerhouses here had cold expressions on their faces, and their killer's intent boiled.

"So you really are here because of that."

Ling Xian's brows furrowed, and he was somewhat confused. He wondered how these different beings knew that he was the one who killed their descendants. In the next second, however, his brows soothed as he came to a realization, "The original leveled cultivators from your kinds sure are generous. They turned back time just to find out who the killer was?"

"You sure are smart. Nobody from my golden roc kind is to be humiliated, let alone the collapse of the strongest inheritor of my kind? We are willing to pay any price we can to snatch out the murderer!"

The roc's expression was emotionless as both of its wings covered up half the Sun and the sky. Its entire body was composed of gold, and it appeared healthy and strong.

"How overbearing of you golden roc kind." Ling Xian's expression grew solemn as well, "So then, you are all planning on fighting against me?"

"That's right. You better obey and return with me. Just in case I get reckless and kill you by accident."

The golden roc snickered. Though it knows of Ling Xian's overwhelming capabilities, it belonged to the advanced stage of the completion level. Naturally, it didn't think of Ling Xian as a threat.

The other spiritual beings behaved in the same manner. They were all Heaven's Favorites of the last generation, and all possessed terrifying abilities. They were certain of themselves and were sure that they could easily suppress Ling Xian.

Most of the Heaven's Favorites who were walking on the golden paths were giving Ling Xian looks of pity. They were certain that there was no way Ling Xian will escape today's slaughtering.

After all, all the spiritual beings were all very dominating, and if they link hands, they will be utterly undefeatable. They can push through any direction they want and defeat any group of heroes they want. Even a real immortal will not be able to defeat against the alliance of this group of spiritual beings!

Therefore, every single spiritual being on site saw Ling Xian as a prey, who was definitely going to die.

Only one person was an exception, and that was Ling Xian himself.

It was definitely impossible to defend against this many spiritual beings. However, other than this path, isn't escape also an alternative? If one realizes that the obstacle before it is impossible to overcome, then escaping is not a shameful act, but an intelligent choice.

If even after realizing that the obstacle is impossible to overcome, and one still greets it heads on, then one is not courageous, one is stupid.

"You want to kill me? That will depend on whether or not you have the ability to."

Ling Xian revealed a very faint grin. Without hesitation, he called out to the Winged Blitz, and he leaped upwards before flying away.

He knew very well that these spiritual beings were far too dominating. If he runs into them head on, then only death awaits. Therefore, he decided to run away. Not escaping in its purest form, but to make a move when the time is right.

These spiritual beings, however, had no clue what Ling Xian was planning. After seeing that he was flying away at a dashing speed, they thought he was scared and burst out in laughter.

"Haha, I thought you were a man, but you are actually such a scaredy cat! What a waste of space!" The golden roc laughed out loud and fluttered its wings in pursuit.

Seeing this, the remaining powerhouses all made their moves. Like an arrow leaving a bow, they all sliced across the sky.

Their faces all carried smiles of disdain as they firmly believed that Ling Xian was a p*ssy and trash.

How would they know that Ling Xian was brewing another set of plans?

A plan to kill all of these spiritual beings in one go.

"If you truly think that I am merely escaping, then you could not be more wrong." Ling Xian revealed a strange and eerie grin. His Winged Blitz began to exude an infinite amount of light and his speed increased.

At this, the other spiritual beings increased their speed as well and chased closely after him.

"Come, do you really think that killing me is such an easy task?" Ling Xian had on a sarcastic and cold smile. He did not think that he would die here.

Don't forget, other than his physical battling abilities, he had another method of killing.

That method of killing was enough to bury all of these spiritual beings in their graves!

Obviously, a rampage and slaughter were about to begin.
