Chapter 445: Frightening the Crowd

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek

"Tian Xiang, you really came."

An emotional exhale echoed throughout the palace and grasped everyone's attention. Everyone sought after the source of the sound.

A silhouette in black descended from midair. Like the arrival of an immortal, his aura was extraordinary and out of the world.

It was Ling Xian.

After a month of travelling nonstop, he finally arrived here five days ago. However, he didn't make his move right away and kill Deputy Xiao Yao. He simply wanted to use this man as allure and see if he can get Ling Tian Xiang to appear.

After waiting for five days, Ling Xian was getting hopeless. However, this just changed. The situation made him somewhat touched, but his heart ached as well.

He was touched because even though Ling Tian Xiang was now possessed, she still wanted to avenge him. His heart ached because he never wanted to see Ling Tian Xiang in her current state.

"Aye…"

After a long sigh, Ling Xian began to walk towards Ling Tian Xiang. As for Deputy Xiao Yao and them, they were being ignored.

Compared to old hatred, it was more important to deal with Ling Tian Xiang being possessed.

However, seeing the appearance of Ling Xian, Deputy Xiao Yao lost all composure, "You… you are Ling Xian?"

The other three Deputys frowned at this, thinking that this name was somewhat familiar. They remembered the young man from seven years ago who astounded the Zhou Dynasty and they too, became shocked.

Deputy Chang An especially, his normally collected visage changed dramatically and darkened with killer's intent.

Just like Deputy Xiao Yao, Ling Xian killed his son seven years ago. How could his anger not be flaring.

"That's right. It's me."

Ling Xian paused his steps and glanced at the Deputys, "Eight years… you truly didn't think I would show up before you, still alive."

"It really is you!"

Deputy Xiao Yao's expression darkened as an emotional turmoil started in his chest. He truly didn't expect this and was certain that Ling Xian had died. How could he be right before him!

The other three Deputys were just as surprised. They didn't think that the famous Ling Xian didn't die like the rumor. Instead, he appeared in the Zhou Dynasty again.

"It seems like you all thought I had died." The corner of the Ling Xian's lips curled up. Though he was smiling, he sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Deputy Xiao Yao's expression was dark as he finally realized why he had been anxious. Staring right at Ling Xian, he uttered, "It seems like you are here for revenge."

"That's right. The punch from back then is something I can never forget." Ling Xian's eyes rolled with coldness. However, he realized that his revenge was not a priority. Ling Tian Xiang was.

"I have no time for you right now. I will allow your head to stay on your neck a while longer."

Ling Xian then began to walk towards Ling Tian Xiang. Every step he took pained him a little more.

This was because the Ling Tian Xiang before him had turned into a zombie. Her bloody red and empty eyes were frightening and was without consciousness.

Sensing that someone was close by, Ling Tian Xiang's bloody red eyes shone and she slammed her hand towards Ling Xian!

Seeing this, Ling Xian's heart hurt even more. He too, extended a palm and defended against Ling Tian Xiang's attack.

However, possessed Ling Tian Xiang had an increased capability and was already at the completion level. Though this attack was defended by Ling Xian, her next attacks were even more aggressive.

BOOOOMMMM!

Ling Tian Xiang had become possessed and lots all consciousness. Everything she was doing was purely fueled by instinct. Thus, she didn't recognize Ling Xian. Only one thought passed through her mind.

Kill!

Kill everyone that was in the way!

"Aye, you don't even remember me?"

Ling Xian softly sighed, knowing that the only way to get out of this situation right now was to first suppress Ling Tian Xian. Thus, his eyes began to emit light and the light transformed into a red bladed sword.

Just as the Sword of Extinction exploded with light, Ling Tian Xiang's body quivered and an unforgettable scene appeared in her mind. In that second, she held onto her head with both of her arms and shrieked in agony.

"AHHHHH!"

A piercing scream shot through the cloud. Ling Tian Xiang had her hair messy and her body emitted rays of bloody light. The terrifying energy began to dissipate and shocked everyone at the scene.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, Ling Xian wasn't scared but was rather elated. He ran beside Ling Tian Xiang and shook her shoulder with his hands, "Tian Xiang, Tian Xiang, wake up, it's me, Ling Xian!"

"Ling Xian?"

These two simple words were all her love carved on her heart, all her hope that will never disappear. Ling Tian Xian, with her shaking heart, suddenly showed a flash of happiness. But very quickly, it turned back to darkness.

"Go away!"

After a loud scream, Ling Tian Xian threw away Ling Xian's arms .She turned into a devil as horrifying breathing completely surrounded the entire palace.

However, this time, something went wrong. She seemed to have remembered the past, but also forgot the past. Thus, she didn't continue her attack. Instead, she ran in the opposite direction.

Seeing this, Ling Xian frowned and followed her.

However, despite his desire to leave, Deputy Xiao Yao didn't let him.

"Fella, I didn't kill you seven years ago. Today I must kill you!"

Deputy Xiao Yao shouted loudly. He knew very well that the hatred between him and Ling Xian was far too deep and had reached a point where one must die. Today, he had three other completion levelled cultivators as support. Naturally, he had to take this opportunity to kill Ling Xian!

"Dammit!"

Ling Xiang's gaze turned cold. Right now, all he could think about was Ling Tian Xiang and didn't want to fight Deputy Xiao Yao. Thus, he continued to pursue.

Deputy Xiao Yao didn't let this happen however and stood in his way.

At the same time, Deputy Chang An and the others formed a defensive line and trapped Ling Xian in the centre.

Seeing this, Ling Xian's expression became dense. He originally didn't want to deal with this past hatred right now, but Deputy Xiao Yao couldn't analyze the situation and had to be in his way. How could he not be angry?

"It seems you are determined to stand in my way."

Glancing over the four leaders, Ling Xian didn't emit any wave of energy. He continued to stand with his back straight, however, he possessed power within him.

"Since you are here, then let's end what we started." Deputy Xian Yao sneered. The way he looked at Ling Xian was like he was looking at a dead man.

Deputy Chang An was also full of killer's intent, "Between us too. Let's end it."

"And who are you?" Ling Xian frowned slightly, "What did we start?"

"You don't even remembered!"

Deputy Chang An was enraged as he gritted his teeth, "You forgot. Dammit, you dare to forget!"

He then formed a hand seal and a fog with seven different colors dispersed, "Do you remember now?"

"This is… Motionless Shadow of Light."

Ling Xian suddenly remembered killing that young noble seven years ago and took a peek at this middle aged man. He had a realization, "You are that boy's father, Deputy Chang An, right?"

"You finally remembered."

Deputy Chang An gritted his teeth and stared at Ling Xian vilely, "Ling Xian, you must pay today with your blood!"

"Your son provoked me first." Ling Xian glared at this person. "Whatever. I do not want to explain. You can all attack at once."

Recognizing the contempt in Ling Xian's tone, the four deputies were furious. Waves of energy erupted throughout the palace and the entire place shook.

"Ling Xian, give me back my son!"

After a loud shout, Deputy Chang An swayed around his sword and aimed towards Ling Xian's brows.

At the same time, Deputy Xiao Yao and the other two made their moves as well. Their power flared up as they swore to themselves to kill Ling Xian right here and now.

"Why not. Let's use this opportunity to end what we started seven years ago."

Against the ruthlessness of the four deputies, Ling Xian had a cold smile smeared across his face. The Halberd of the Divine Warrior appeared with a bang!

The unstoppable amount of energy swept across the room and exploded with an incomparable amount of aggression that sought to stop all enemies!

Immediately, the space shook and the ground cracked!

The four deputies had a change in expression and all stepped back three steps. Then, the color of awe appeared on their faces.

"Intermediate stage of the completion level?"

Shouting, Deputy Xiao Yao was in disbelief. He didn't expect the young foundational levelled cultivator grew to this extend.

The other three did not predict that after merely seven years, Ling Xian would grow in the speed of a falling star and arrive a level of their equal!

How shocking was this?!

That attack just now had forced all of them backwards. This caused an emotional turmoil amongst the four as they found it hard to believe what was happening.

"Deputy Xiao Yao, it's been seven years and you really think I would be the same young cultivator as before?"

Ling Xian had a faint grin of coldness and sarcasm. "I originally wanted to let you live longer. But since you want to die so badly, then I will let you."

Just then, an even more violent wave of energy dashed out and shocked all nine heavens.

Instantly, everyone's expression changed as they felt this animal like energy. However, they were deputies and there were four of them, they cannot fear Ling Xian.

"Everyone, let's do this! Kill this man!"

After a loud scream, Deputy Xiao Yao's fingers emitted light and his steps became light as air. He appeared before Ling Xian in less than second and punched!

At the same time, the remaining deputies made their moves. All kinds of famous techniques were summoned. The terrifying clash of energies dispersed throughout the palace!

Sadly, Ling Xian was not the foundation levelled cultivator like he was before. Today, he was the completion levelled cultivator of the undefeatable realm!

"You are merely four completion levelled cultivators and you think you are deserving to be my opponent? F*ck off!"

Shouting, Ling Xian's black hair became messy. Like an immortal celestial being, he was above all else and peered down.

Raising his right arm, the Halberd of the Divine Warrior exuded an infinite amount of light and strength of a thousand army dashed out! Wind blew, cloud flew, and the sky changed colors!

Hommm!

After an earth rumbling clash, the two of them clashed in midair, flinging up dusts and debris.

Amidst the dust, Ling Xian had a serious expression as his black hair fell loosely behind his back. His Halberd was pointed upwards like an undefeatable God of Warrior and like an Immortal. His power was unprecedented and unattainable!
