Painting of the Nine Immortals

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Amongst this silent ancient forest, only two different heavy breathing could be heard. Within this space that was dead silent, the breathing appeared extremely clear.

The breathing was extremely heavy, as if two giant mountains were on their shoulders and as if every single breath required all the strength in their bodies.

It was obvious that at the moment, the two of them were stunned by Ling Xian's capabilities. They could be described as absolutely terrorized.

What could they do? The capabilities Ling Xian displayed was far too shocking. As much as they were scared, they were also stunned.

Right now, Ling Xian's expression was calm. His black hair and his white robe were both tussling in the wind. Similar to the descendant of a God, he exuded an incomparable amount of vigor that was powerful enough to startle the heavens and scare off the earth!

Now that he had displayed his strength, the two of them were now shaking on the inside and were utterly petrified.

"A completion leveled cultivator of the advanced stage! I cannot believe you are of the completion level!"

The Elder's face was pale as he began to puke out blood and he stared at Ling Xian with astonishment.

He truly never expected that this ant of a man, whom he thought he could kill with one finger, would suddenly explode with capabilities of the completion level. He really couldn't believe that Ling Xian was a powerhouse that could kill him with one move!

One move!

Ling Xian merely threw out a casual punch, yet he was so defeated he began to puke blood on the ground. Just how big of a gap was between them?!

Why wouldn't he be surprised? He was shocked to a point of no reparation!

He wasn't the only person who was in awe.

The sturdy man felt the same way. He was already surprised, but after hearing what the elder said, he was in pure astonishment!

"Impossible, this is impossible. He is merely a meditational leveled cultivator. How can he be a powerhouse of the advanced stage of the completion level?!"

The sturdy man was looking fearful and all of his mockeries froze on his face. He appeared extremely funny.

At first, he thought Ling Xian was going to be instantly killed by the elder and Ling Xian's blood would be sprayed everywhere. Yet in the blink of an eye, the one being knocked back was the completion leveled cultivator. Why wouldn't he be in awe?

Only after a long while did he regain his consciousness. There were fear and shock on his face. Even his body was somewhat quivering.

The elder was reacting the same way.

The way he was looking at Ling Xian made him feel like he was deep inside hell and there was extreme coldness.

He originally looked down onto Ling Xian as if he were above him. His attitude was that he was the cat catching a mouse - it was just a game.

Yet at this moment, Ling Xian had unleashed capabilities that surpassed his own. This meant their positions had switched, which also meant he was about to be slain.

Therefore, why wouldn't he feel fearful?

"I told you. The moment I display my real capabilities, the expression on your faces would become very interesting."

Looking at the extremely complex emotions on the two's faces, Ling Xian's lips curled into a mocking smile. "It seems like I was right."

Pausing, he continued, "That's correct. I am very satisfied with the way you two look right now."

Hearing this made the two of them feel very bitter.

When they remembered how they never thought much of Ling Xian at first, they felt extremely bitter. All they could think about was how stupid it was for them to choose this guy!

They could've provoked anyone, but they chose someone this devious!

To these two, Ling Xian was a demon. A demon who was pretending to be a pig, but was eating a tiger!

To have possessed capabilities of the advanced stage of the completion level but faking it as a meditational cultivator, what was it if he wasn't pretending to be a pig?

"So it is true. I am only interested in opponents who are strong." Ling Xian looked at the two with a huge smile on his face. He was in a very happy mood.

Of course, his happiness meant the elder and the sturdy man's mood were terrible.

They were full of regret and hated themselves for provoking a beast whose weakness was completely fake.

The elder in particular, was so regretful his lungs turned green. He hated his greed and hated himself for making a move against Ling Xian.

Now look what happened. Not only did his opponent turn out to be made out of steel, he also had spikes on him!

"Now you know what it feels like to be regretful. I told you a long time ago. I have the cultivation level of a completion leveled cultivator. But you wouldn't believe me." Ling Xian taunting grinned. The curl to his lips was just like a knife, stabbing the hearts of the two.

The elder and the sturdy man were crying tearlessly and their hearts were full of regret.

As much as they were regretful, the elder also realized something terrible. Even just thinking about it made him shudder.

Ling Xian was obviously a completion leveled cultivator of the advanced stage, but he had concealed himself and joined the Shang Qing Sect as a pupil of the meditational level. What did this mean?

The elder wasn't sure. But he knew that Ling Xian had some hidden agenda.

"Just who are you? Why are you invading my Shang Qing Sect?"

Shouting, the elder repressed his physical wound. He began to exude terrifying waves of Qi that shook up the trees.

Sadly, his Qi, in Ling Xian's eyes, were merely causing an itch. It was far too weak.

"The moment I displayed my real capabilities, I have decided you needed to die. But if you didn't ask that, I would've let you remain alive a little longer."

Ling Xian erased his smile and his expression turned cold.

The moment he called out to the original, he was determined to kill the two before him. If he doesn't and the news about his real capabilities spread, then the powerhouses of the Shang Qing Sect would contain him.

That was something Ling Xian didn't want to see, no matter what.

Therefore, he had to kill the two people before them.

"Oh no!"

Sensing Ling Xian's killer's intent, the elder's expression drastically changed. Only now did he realize what he had said was extremely stupid.

The situation was already set. He was no opponent of Ling Xian's and he won't even be able to even defend one move against him.

Therefore, learning about Ling Xian's plot was useless. It would only speed up his death.

The elder no longer hesitated. He immediately made a move in an attempt to escape from this devil.

Pity though, now that Ling Xian had revealed himself, how could he let the man get away?

"You said you would be able to defeat me with one move, but you didn't achieve that. Now it is my turn to try. If you can defend against my attack, then I will let you escape."

Laughing, Ling Xian leaped into the air. He rose his right leg high in the sky and then lunged down towards the elder!

HOMMMM!

This kick caused destructions within 10 miles. Similar to the collapse of the Tai Mountain, it was extremely heavy and unavoidable!

Immediately, the elder's face turned pale white. He felt like this kick was infinite in strength and there was no way he could stop it from happening. However, he will die if he does nothing, so of course, he had to do everything he could to stop it.

Sadly, Ling Xian was far too powerful. Though this kick of his wasn't accompanied by any technique, it remained unstoppable.

The moment the foot landed on the elder, an explosion of pure terror expanded across space. The elder was straight away kicked into the ground.

After the debris and the dust calmed down and everyone could see again, there was only a corpse that remained.

This made the sturdy man quiver with fear!

"Run!"

Instinctively, the sturdy man made his decision and dashed afar using the highest speed he could muster.

However, after merely a few steps, his vision turned blurry and his entire body was unable to move!

"You have seen my original self. Do you really think I would let you get away?"
