The
emperor
is what everyone called the ruler of the dynasty. It represented a form of great respect and great power!
The tyranny of the emperor was easily proven by the terrifying energy whirling through the sky!
The man was embraced by murky air. As if he was the consolidation of Heaven and Earth, every step he walked equalled to a thousand meters. Carrying with him godly vigor, he approached Ling Xian with a fast speed.
Even though he was not here yet, his energy had trapped and locked the entire space. Ling Xian could not move even an inch. The statement he made was so obviously full of rage, even those who knew the emperor personally were terrified.
It seems like today is the day when everyone will change.
Ling Xian had publically killed the Third Prince, which meant he was slapping the royal’s face. Naturally, the emperor would be enraged. And if the emperor was enraged, terrible consequences will occur. In the entire Yunzhou, not a lot of people can stop what was about to happen.
Thus, the statement, everything is changing, is not an exaggeration.

Emperor…

Staring at the grand shadow, Ling Xian slightly frowned and silently exclaimed. What was supposed to happen is finally happening.
However, because of the threatening suppression, he could not move even half a step. Despite all this, he was not the slightest afraid. Instead, he sighed in relief.

The emperor could petrify me with merely Qi alone. Those of the original level sure are horrifying.

Ling Xian sighed. This was the first time he had experienced the terror of someone from the original level. This made him realize that he had a long way to go in his cultivation journey.
He had to at least reach the original level if he wanted to be considered to be the same status as the best cultivators of Yunzhou.

Ling Xian, you sure are gutsy. You dare to kill my son. How lowly do you think of me?

As he spoke, he marched forward a step that took him forward for a hundred meters. He arrived before Ling Xian. Though his expression was as calm as water, he was internally enraged and his rage was washing over him like lava!

If I don’t kill him, then he will continue sending assassins after me. I don’t have the time to waste.
Ling Xian was emotionless. Even though he was faced against the most important figure of the Zhou Dynasty, he remained collected and fearless.
One has to admit that this bravery is not something normal people can achieve.

You show no fear even when talking to me. What a Heaven’s Favorite.

The emperor’s eyes flashed with strangeness. However, it disappeared in the split of a second. He then sneered,
Pity though, this Heaven’s Favorite is about to fall.


I do not agree.

Ling Xian was still calm as he continued,
In terms of capabilities, I admit that I cannot even stop a finger of yours. But if I want to escape, you cannot stop me.


How confident of you.

The emperor revealed frigid smile,
I sure want to see if you can still remain snarky against my Qi!

Just then, a unmatchable amount of spiritual energy roared out of him. Like a God was descending, it shot out in three thousand meters and rose up to all nine levels of heaven!
Instantly, Ling Xian frowned and the stress on his chest intensified.
To know that the emperor was a very powerful original levelled cultivators. In the entire Yunzhou, he was a top powerhouse. The gap between the original and the completion level was also like heaven and earth, cloud and mud.
To say it bluntly, even if 10 completion powerhouses were here, they would not be able to defend against one original level. What could they do? The gap between them was simply far too huge.
Therefore, when the emperor let out his Qi, Ling Xian’s bones almost all crushed. He had no strength left to defend.
Seeing this, the emperor glared at him,
How about now? You now realize the distance between us?


Ehem… ehem… you sure are of the original level. With my current capabilities, I truly cannot defend.
Ling Xian was pale, but still he showed no fear.
The emperor was definitely unbearable. His Qi alone could stop Ling Xian from doing anything. But he was prepared, thus why should he be afraid?

Hmm?

Sensing that Ling Xian was still not scared, the emperor frowned,
Interesting, I sure want to see how long you will last.

Then, a shapeless amount of Qi descended like a supreme being who controlled the fate of all mortal beings!
This time, not only did Ling Xian remain calm, he even revealed a smile. The reason he provoked the emperor was because he wanted to test out the gap between himself and an original levelled cultivator. Now that he had the answer, why would he be dumb enough to continue resisting?

Emperor, you are strong. I am no opponent of yours.

Ling Xian smiled and silently summoned the Speedy Shift Array,
But, if I want to run, you still cannot stop me.

Just then, a white light flashed by. The Array emitted a strange amount of energy and all of a sudden, he broke the inhibition of the emperor’s Qi and disappeared.
When he appeared again, he was already 300 metres away. Ling Xian then called out to his Winged Blitz and dashed away.
The Speedy Shift Array was a simplified version of a spatial portal. It ignored all inhibition spells and had the ability to instantly move objects. Even though the distance it moved everything was short, it was an insanely smart defensive strategy. It could save a man’s life when faced against an undefeatable enemy.
Ling Xian had anticipated that after killing the Third Prince, the emperor will be brought out of his palace. Thus, he had asked the Immortal of Array make him a few Speedy Shift Arrays as an aid to help him escape the dynasty.
Though the Speedy Shift Array was powerful, the emperor was just as capable. He reacted right away and a giant hand large enough to overshadow the Sun appeared. It had the power to diminish all living beings!

Ling Xian, no matter how talented you are, you will not escape under my eyelid!

The emperor’s expression was stern as the giant hand howled towards Ling Xian,
Come back!

HOOMMMM!
An infinite amount of heavenly light shot through the sky. The hand exploded with unmatchable power. Even the space found it hard to handle and was immediately smashed.

I cannot block it nor can I dodge it.

Judging the current situation accurately, Ling Xian did not react in fear. Instead, he grinned. The arrays the Immortal made were more than one.

Emperor, you truly are powerful enough to be undefeatable. But when I say you cannot stop me, you cannot stop me!

Then, Ling Xian activated another Speedy Shift Array. Instantly, a strange power embraced him and helped move him away 300 meters.
When the palm landed, the area it landed on crumbled into debris!
It became apparent how strong this attack was and how strong the emperor was!

How terrifying.

Ling Xian revealed his astonishment. But he knew very well that it was no time to be stunned. He expanded his white wings that emitted an infinite amount of light that carried him across the sky.

Damn that array!

The emperor’s expression was heavy. He attacked again and all land became barren!
Other than Ling Xian, no other cultivator can remain calm under this situation. Every single spectator was in awe as they exclaimed how powerful the emperor was.
Only Ling Xian remained his casual behaviours. Without rushing, he took out a palm-sized array board and activated this array’s secret technique.
Instantly, the mysterious energy landed again and he disappeared right where he stood.
This made the emperor jump in anger,
You! Ling Xian! I sure want to see how many Speedy Shift Arrays you have!


Haha, emperor, I have a lot more of these arrays. You will not stop me.

Watching the emperor jump in anger made Ling Xian laugh out loud. He used another array and avoided another attack from the emperor.

Dammit, damn that man. I have to kill you!
the emperor’s anger made his hair stand up. Even with his mentality, he couldn’t stop himself from becoming infuriated.
Remember that he was of the original level and could easily smash Ling Xian. But right below his eyelid, Ling Xian was playing tricks on him. How could he not be angry?
Everyone was angered by what was happening. But as much as they were angered, they were also shocked.
In the entire Yunzhou, how many people can dodge the emperor’s attack? Even though he had the help from the array, Ling Xian had proven himself to be more capable than others.
If this was anyone else, they would be scared to even lift a finger before the emperor, let alone playing tricks on him?
HOMMMM!
After an earth splitting rumble, the emperor made another move.
Pity, Ling Xian once again did not fear it. With the help of his arrays, he easily dodged the attack.
Then, the originally stressful and tense battlefield turned into a comedic scene.
Every time the emperor attacked, the earth shook. But every time Ling Xian was able to dodge it. As time went on, he became further and further from the emperor.
The emperor became angrier and angrier, but he had no way of stopping Ling Xian!

Haha, I told you you cannot stop me but you didn’t believe it.

Ling Xian laughed and teasingly shot a look at the now green faced emperor. He then summoned the Winged Blitz and flew away, leaving behind only a provoking statement to echo throughout the area.

You majesty, I am not an outsider, there is no need to send me off.

Though his volume was not high, it was as loud as thunder when it entered everyone’s eardrums.
Instantly, the emperor became enraged. But he was helpless. The person had already left. Even if he pursued, there was nothing he could do against Ling Xian, who had the Speedy Shift Arrays.
Everyone here was full of anger and hated Ling Xian.
To have killed the Third Prince in the Emperor’s Millennium Capital was the same as slapping the emperor in the face. How could they not be angry? But as angry as they felt, they were also in awe.
Killing the best of the generation, the Third Prince, defeating seven completion levelled cultivators at once, and playing tricks on the ruler of Yunzhou, then escaping harmlessly!
Which one of these was not an astonishing achievement?
How could they not be shocked?
