Under the Sun, inside the dense forest.
Against the young man’s aggressive attack, Ling Xian’s expression was calm per usual. He didn’t think twice and merely extended a hand that he placed by his head.
Crack!
After a crisp bone crackling noise, the young man’s arms were crushed from the defensive pressure.
His arms were completely and utterly in pieces.
Ah, my hands!
The young man’s face was in awe. He retreated as if he had seen a ghost and his scared body was quivering.
He was shocked to the extreme. The young girl was even more surprised than he was!
She glanced at Ling Xian, who slowly put down his hand and then glanced at the young man whose arms were broken. Her brain was blank and she lost all ability to think.
An ordinary person without spiritual energy just broke a completion leveled powerhouse’s arms?
How… how was that possible?
The young girl’s face was astounded to a point of no return!
What are ordinary mortals considered to be in the Taoism community?
They were trash! They were synonyms for ants!
Yet right now, a handicap without any Qi just crushed a completion leveled powerhouse’s arms. Just how unbelievable was this?
That was heaven-defying!
Even if a fifth leveled omnipotent was here, he would be revealing his awe and finding this incredible.
Of course, if an omnipotent was here, they wouldn’t be laughing at Ling Xian and calling him a handicap.
It was true. Right now, he didn’t have any remaining Qi left in him. If he was a handicap, then nobody in this world should be considered a powerhouse.
What handicap can tear open space with just their hands?
Which handicap has a physique equivalent to an ancient soldier?
Ling Xian’s current state placed him as a powerhouse at the advanced stage of the original level.
Even if a powerhouse of the original level was here, without being careful, they would have their arms broken by Ling Xian, let alone a completion leveled cultivator!
Your… your physique is this powerful!?
The young man’s face was full of shock and his arms were in a bloody mush. He couldn’t even lift them. His entire body shook and as much as he was shocked by all this, he also felt an unfamiliar fear.
The fear that death was near.
Three breaths’ time is up. It’s time to send you on your way.
Ling Xian coldly glanced at the guy. He originally didn’t plan on killing him but who knew this guy couldn’t tell wrong from right? Ling Xian was not to be blamed here.
Don’t, don’t kill me!
The young man screamed in pain and shouted,
I am the young master of the Sheng Xuan Sect. If you kill me, the Sect will not forgive you!
The Sheng Xuan Sect was one of the seven Sects and was similar in power to the Shang Qing Sect. Therefore, the threat of going against this Sect was very scary. Anyone would stop themselves from going further.
But to Ling Xian, the prowess of the Sheng Xuan Sect was basically zero. More than a decade ago, he had fought against this giant monster. The young master of the Sect meant nothing to him.
Since Ling Xian didn’t speak, the young man thought he was afraid. The fear on his face turned into proudness.
Young man, if you dare to kill me, my father will not let you go. No matter which corner of the world you run to, you cannot escape death.
The young man was unwelcoming and smirked coldly.
If you get the f!ck out right now, I can write-off what is happening now.
Write off?
Ling Xian smiled. Like a ghost, he appeared before the young man in a flash. His right hand hooked onto his throat and lifted him up.
The Sheng Xuan Sect’s name truly is scary. Sadly, it’s not enough to stop me.
Hearing this, the young man was astonished. He said with difficulty,
I am the young master of the Sheng Quan Sect. You dare to kill me?
It looks like your identity is giving you much courage.
Ling Xian mocked. Then, in a voice low and quiet enough for just the two of them to hear, he made a statement that sent chills down his spine.
I forgot to tell you. Ten years ago, I killed an elder from the Sheng Xuan Sect. Then in the battle that ensued, I think I killed a few others. I cannot remember now.
After those words, fear flooded the young man’s eyes. He croaked,
You… you are the Demonic Highness!
You guessed it. As a reward, I will let you reincarnate earlier.
Ling Xian smiled. Before the young man’s astonished gaze, he increased the pressure in his right hand.
Crack!
After a bone crack, the young man stopped breathing.
The last thought that flashed through his head was how he managed to provoke such a demon!
After witnessing the death of this man, the young woman sighed in relief but also felt very scared. She’s never met anyone so terrifying. He had absolutely no Qi but killed a completion leveled cultivator like he was just a little chick. That was unbelievable!
You are afraid?
Sensing the young woman’s terrified gaze, Ling Xian smiled. It acted like a spring breeze with a strange calming power.
The young woman settled down.
Since you helped me, you won’t kill me.
Two questions.
Ling Xian said softly,
After you answer me, you may leave.
Please speak of them. Ru Yu will not speak of anything I do not know, and will not reserve anything I do know.
The girl who called herself Ru Yu nodded softly and there was some curiosity in her eyes.
The Demonic Highness you speak of, is it Ling Xian who was pursued by the entire Yuezhou a decade ago?
Ling Xian asked his first question.
That’s right.
When the words
Ling Xian
entered her ears, colors of admiration rushed to Ru Yu’s face,
He fought against seven Sects and 18 Houses himself. Though he ended up dying, he is still considered a hero of the generation!
A hero of the generation?
Ling Xian lost composure and chuckled. He didn’t think that he would acquire the nickname Demonic Highness and also leave the impression of being a hero in this girl’s heart.
Looking at him laugh, Ru Yu thought he was laughing at the Demonic Highness. Her brows tightened, expressing her displeasure.
If Ling Xian wasn’t so terrifying, she would’ve scolded him.
Second question.
Ling Xian continued softly,
You mentioned how the seven Sects and 18 Houses tried to taint the Highness’ name. What happened?
At the mention of this, Ru Yu gritted her teeth out of hatred,
Back then, the Demonic Highness was being pursued by the entire Yuezhou. But he used his sword to pave out a path for himself and traveled for miles. He truly was a man.
Then, he was trapped inside the Forest of Heavenly Trees and had to fight against 20 something original leveled powerhouses by himself. In the end, he died, but he also killed many enemies. That is a battle record that is extremely heaven-defying – enough to be put it into historical records.
Since he achieved so much, the Sects and Houses were obviously ashamed and embarrassed.
So two years ago, the Sects and Houses began to spread rumors, stating that the Demonic Highness stole their treasures and that he wasn’t alone during the final battle. He borrowed strength from a fifth level powerhouse, which was why he was able to slay more than 20 original leveled cultivators.
Because of these rumors, the image of the Sects and Houses obviously improved. They transformed from petty people who killed and stole, to the victims of that fight. They turned from the embarrassing side to the glorious one.
Yet the Demonic Highness became a thief and a powerless person.
Ru Yu was getting angrier as she spoke. Her face was flushed with fury.
Ling Xian was getting furious too. In the end, his eyes were ice cold.
Then, he marched forward in giant steps with his head held high.
This startled Ru Yu. She asked instinctively,
What are you going to do?
What responded to her question was a stern statement and one that was full of killer’s intent.
Going to kill.
