Painting of the Nine Immortals

Chapter 942: Mercilessness

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

Inside the stone room, Ling Xian fought like a God of Warrior. Every move he made cracked down the space and shocked all land!

Though he was badly injured, just like he said, a tiger is still a tiger. Though weak, he was not someone Han Qing Xue and Fang Mu could win against.

Therefore, after about 10 rebuttals, Ling Xian had established his advantage over the two of them.

Han Qing Xue and Fang Mu lost their composure and fear rose in their hearts.

Not even in their dreams did they think that a wounded Ling Xian could remain so aggressive. Like an immortal, he was undefeatable!

“Dammit!”

Han Qing Xue cursed, feeling the pressure. She felt like she was up against an ancient beast who wasn’t going to stop in the face of anything.

Fang Mu felt the same. He felt like Ling Xian was aggressively powerful and was without enemies.

“Since you have established your position, then go with Xu Chuan.”

Ling Xian’s expression was cold. Killer’s intent rolled out of him. It shocked everyone and shot through the clouds.

His energy swam like a dragon and was rumbling like thunder. Every single move of his cracked the void and suppressed his enemies!

Bang, bang, bang!

A series of muffled rumbles indicated the trio’s battles. Horrifying waves continued to explode that shook up the entire grave.

Ling Xian was never at a disadvantage after every rebuttal. On the contrary, the other two were pale in the face and their blood boiled.

What could they do? Despite his injuries, his physique was all so powerful. It was at the peak of the original level!

With so little distance between them, even when Han Qing Xue and Fang Mu worked together, they could not win against him!

The two of them were getting more and more afraid as they fought. They originally wanted to buy some time and wait till he was too weak, but based on the way things were going, he was only getting stronger.

They were not aware of the fact that Ling Xian had summoned the Jade of Emerald Blood and was healing his body.

HOMMM!

After a loud rumble, bloody energy roared on like ocean waves!

Ling Xian flew forward like a giant bird, spitting out golden light. It made Han Qing Xue and Fang Mu puke out much blood.

They began to tremble and they felt the threat of dying. At the same time, they felt much bitterness and helplessness.

Especially when they remembered how they once were certain Ling Xian was going to die, they felt even more bitter. They felt like they were an international joke!

It didn’t matter whether or not Ling Xian was weakened. Even when he is, he is not someone these two could defend against!

“Die!”

Ling Xian’s expression was calm. His palm acted like a giant mountain that easily smashed through Han Qing Xue and Fang Mu’s protective barriers and flung them outwards.

Next, in a flash, he appeared before Fang Mu. With his bare hands, he ripped him in half!

Fresh blood splattered, dying his red robe and froze Han Qing Xue’s heart.

Her face was now white and her body quivered. The way she looked at Ling Xian was full of fear, and even desperation.

“You are the last one left.” Ling Xian glared at her, coldness played around in his eyes.

Han Qing Xue’s heart froze and she stuttered, “You, you cannot kill me.”

“Why not?”

Ling Xian snickered, but it was a cold one. “You have made your intentions clear. You wanted to kill me just like Xu Chuan wanted to. If that’s the case, why should I be nice? Plus, I do not want another person knowing about the secrets revealed here.”

“You!”

Han Qing Xue was flustered. Fear flooded her eyes, “I… I am from the Han Clan in Jianzhou. If you kill me, my family will not forgive you.”

“Check the time. You are still trying to intimidate me with your family?”

Ling Xian laughed. “I know many techniques. Perhaps your clan will find out you were killed by me. But do you think I would be scared? A Clan from another continent… even powerhouses from Tianzhou are not feared by me.”

“I am warning you, my sister will arrive in Tianzhou soon. She is a top talent from Jianzhou. You are no opponent of hers.”

Han Qing Xue did her best to look calm. But to Ling Xian, she was trembling and pitiful.

He shook his head. “Blame yourself for being blind. You failed to recognize the tiger.”

Hearing this, Han Qing Xue froze. Other than fear, there was much bitterness.

She now had much regrets. She regretted how she failed to see Ling Xian’s capabilities and how she mistakenly thought of him as a little weak fish.

The reality was that he was a violent tiger!

If she chose to stand by Ling Xian’s side, then even if she does nothing, he would’ve let her split the treasures with her.

Sadly, there are no “what if’s”.

Not only did she lose a friend who has a bright future. She lost her most valuable life.

This made Han Qing Xue feel much regret. Her lungs were turning green.

“Be on your way. As for your sister and your clan, you better pray they don’t provoke me. Or else I will not be generous.”

Ling Xian spoke emotionlessly and energy once again poured out of him. It smashed the bones in Han Qing Xue’s body and chased out her soul.

Bang!

After a muffled noise, Han Qing Xue collapsed onto the ground. Regret remained in her eyes.

Sadly, it was too late.

“It’s over.”

Looking at the woman who was no longer breathing, Ling Xian mumbled to himself and then began to heal himself.

First, he turned back time to find out what happened to the omnipotent, which greatly injured him. Then, he began a fight against three original leveled cultivators. It was natural he was badly wounded.

If he wasn’t so talented physically, he wouldn’t have endured until now.

Luckily, three people had died. In the entire grave, only one person was alive. Naturally, he could heal himself at ease now.

Ling Xian first took out the Golden Dan, then the Dan of Frozen Blood, and finally manipulated his majestic blood. At once, the Pearl of Emerald Blood began to suspend above his head. It emitted with much energy that nourished his injured areas.

All three things tend wounds at an unbelievable speed. After merely two hours, he was as good as new.

Then, he looked over to the four treasures and smiled.

Though these were all treasures, they weren’t too useful. But even if he has no use for them, he can give them to Huang Jiu Ge for protective purposes.

Therefore, he was very happy.

The biggest surprise wasn’t these treasures, but the reason why the omnipotent failed.

Without a doubt, the black energy was the reason behind the omnipotent’s failure. After all, he had endured three catastrophes and nine crises. If it weren’t for the sudden emergence of energy, he wouldn’t have failed.

In other words, the black energy may be the reason why nobody has broken through to immortality in the past 30,000 years. To Ling Xian, this was important information.

Though he cannot figure out what that energy was, at least, he earned important information.

Other than that, he had found out another piece of info.

The omnipotent knows about the black energy. Or else he wouldn’t have set up his burial ground before his attempt at a breakthrough.

In other words, he knew he was going to fail but attempted anyways.

The sad result was that he failed and he was devoured by the black energy. He then used his blood to write “hate” to tell his sad tale.

“Just what is it?”

Ling Xian murmured to himself, confused.
