Chapter 517: Running Away, Scared

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

In midair, the nine-headed lion was emotionless. It stared at the giant hole in its chest and found it hard to believe that this was real life.

It was the strongest inheritor of the nine-headed clan and has been looking down on everyone in the same generation as it. Yet before its eyes, it was defeated by one hit from Ling Xian, how could it accept that?

Sadly, reality was right before its eyes, it had to accept it even if it doesn't want to!

"You are now in the advanced stage of the completion level?"

As its life was draining away, the nine-headed lion appeared bitter. At this moment, it finally realized Ling Xian's terrifying capabilities and realized its own stupidity.

Three months ago, it fought head-on against Ling Xian, and it was hard to determine a winner in a short amount of time. Of course, now that Ling Xian had reached the advanced stage of the completion level, he grew even more heaven-defying and had the right to peer down on others.

After all, the lion was defeated three months ago. It was also fighting against Ling Xian alongside many other Heaven's Favorites. This alone was enough to prove that Ling Xian and the lion were not of the same level. The lion was not a worthy opponent of Ling Xian.

No matter how hard it wanted that to be true, it would not happen. Perhaps if this was three months ago, it could hurt Ling Xian. But now, the result was already clear, it couldn't even defend against one hit!

"Impossible. How can I be defeated after one attack?"

The nine-headed lion started acting as if it lost its soul and was only walking as a corpse. Its corpse was also not going to sustain much longer.

Ling Xian's shocking punch both destroyed its attack, it also erupted its heart. The reason why it was still alive was thanks to its beings' shocking survival abilities.

Or else it would have completely dropped dead by now.

"Nine-headed spiritual lion, die in peace now." Ling Xian's expression was calm and was without any pity. Since the beginning, this being before him has been disrespectful and been speaking without kindness. Then, it revealed how much it wanted to kill Ling Xian. Of course, Ling Xian wasn't going to let go of this being.

Shrieking, the nine-headed lion felt its body weaken, and desperation filled its heart.

Its heart has already been crushed. No matter how powerful it was or how good its natural physical condition was, it cannot regain its cultivation. In other words, its downfall is unavoidable, and its end is a matter of sooner or later.

It felt fearful and also regretful.

"If I could relive, I would never provoke this bastard."

After this last thought flashed across its brain, the last ray of energy inside the nine-headed lion completely evaporated. It dropped to the ground and died right there.

Seeing this, Ling Xian sighed. He originally had no plans to cause trouble with the nine-headed lion. It was because he saw the lion trying to kill Wang Yang and Lin Ying did he want to kill it.

But this was good. At least one bad relationship was resolved. He became relaxed.

After witnessing the collapse of the nine-headed spiritual lion, Wang Yang and Lin Ling were emotionless, and they stared at Ling Xian in shock.

It was as if they saw a monster.

It was true. He smashed a nine-headed lion with one punch. In these people's eyes, he was truly equivalent to a monster.

It wasn't just those two. The mysterious being who tried to snatch the pages of the Divine Book of Genesis was also in shock and grew fearful.

Just now, it sensed the disputes here and decided to check this place out to see what was causing the chaos.

It came just in time to watch the moment Ling Xian's punch broke the nine-headed spiritual lion's heart. This shocked it to the very extreme, and it did not believe that after only three months, Ling Xian was already this terrifying.

This made it feel nervous, and it accidentally exhaled – Ling Xian noticed it immediately.

"Get out of there!"

Frowning, Ling Xian spun around. His eyes were sharp like swords as he stared at the space before him.

"Don't misunderstand. I have no ill intentions."

The mysterious being finally showed itself. Its body remained wrapped by murky fog, and nobody can tell what it was. Its eyes, however, were sparkling with fear.

"No ill intentions?"

Ling Xian glared at it, "If you had no ill intentions, then get the hell out here right now. Or else don't blame me for being unkind."

Instantly, the mysterious being was angered. Very quickly however, it sighed helplessly.

With Ling Xian's current capabilities, not just him, the entire younger generation of Yunzhou cannot fight against him. Therefore, although it was boiling in fear, it had to calm down.

"Aye, this person is truly the unmatchable. At least in Yunzhou, he is truly undefeatable amongst those of his level."

Sighing, the mysterious being turned to leave crisply. It was obvious that it was utterly shocked by Ling Xian. Or in other words, was petrified by fear.

Seeing the mysterious being running away at the speed of light, Ling Xian laughed and shook his head, not at all surprised.

With his capabilities, killing it would take ten moves at the very most and would not require a lot of skills. Therefore, how could it not be scared? How could it not just turn around and leave?

Though this reaction as embarrassing, compared to losing its life, it was worth it.

After watching the mysterious being get scolded by Ling Xian, Wang Yang and Lin Ying once again fell into silence. Their brains stopped spinning.

He only made one statement, and it was enough to force a spiritual being with such capabilities to turn around and leave. How powerful was this?

Unimaginable!

"Elder Ling, aren't you far too strong?"

Wang Yang mumbled. Remembering the gap between Ling Xian and himself and realizing how they were night and day, he was somewhat embarrassed.

Lin Ying was the same. She felt like all these years, she has been living like a pig and cannot be compared to Ling Xian.

"Old hatred has been resolved. Next, we shall quietly wait for the closing of the Imperishable Temple." Ling Xian grinned and floated before the two. He asked, "Are you guys okay?"

"Not a problem. Thank you Elder Ling for helping."

Wang Yang and Lin Ying bowed down to Ling Xian deeply with deep appreciation on their faces.

"You're too kind. Before leaving, I promised the Headmaster. Why would I sit and do nothing?" Ling Xian smiled and waved his arm.

"Since that's the case, then, of course, we need to thank you." Wang Yang laughed and slammed his own chest. "Though we are weak in abilities, if you have uses for us, speak of it."

"We'll talk about that after." Ling Xian faintly smiled. Through the corner of his eye, he noticed the stone monument and couldn't help but frown. It looked somewhat familiar.

Seeing this, Lin Ying read his emotions and placed the monument before Ling Xian.

"Elder Ling, this stone monument is extremely mysterious and eerie. It has the ability to control cultivator's souls. We found it on the mountain." Lin Ying explained.

"The mysterious power to control souls…"

Ling Xian frowned and read the bloody writing on the monument. The sense of familiarity intensified and caused him to frown. He searched his memories.

Though it has only been a few years since he started his cultivation journey – don't forget, he experienced the lost century. It was during that time, he gained extreme growth in knowledge and was of equal in level as those in the original level.

Therefore, he searched his memories and after a long time, he finally found some information about the monument.

In the next second, Ling Xian's expression changed drastically. He stared deadly at the eerie monument with shock.

"Could it… really be THAT stone monument?"
