Painting of the Nine Immortals
chapter-472

"I will defeat you."

The tone was confident yet collected.

Pay attention now, he said "defeat", not "challenge". From this, it was apparent how confident the speaker was. He was already certain that he will defeat the cocky Lin Tian.

Instantly, everyone was stunned and geared their gazes towards the voice. Their eyes were full of shock.

They saw that from afar, a man wearing a black robe was walking over. Every step he took created an indescribable rhythm. It made him appear very extraordinary.

His brows were like swords, his complexion was like jade and his black hair was softly flowing in the wind. Like the descendant of a celestial being, his appearance seemingly merged Heaven and Earth.

It was Ling Xian.

Originally, he wanted to watch the show from the side instead of fighting. But after learning that Lin Tian came here not for friendly battles, but to humiliate the Wan Jian House, he was angry.

Especially after Lin Tian pointed his weapon at everyone and made such arrogant statements, he was infuriated and could no longer just stand back. Though from certain point of view, he wasn't yet a part of the House and was not considered a member, the House has treated him with nothing but respect. Especially the Supreme Headmaster, who deterred Yunzhou for him.

Now that someone was slapping the Wan Jian House's face, how could he just do nothing?

Thus, he stood out. He planned on avenging the Wan Jian House and earn back their dignity!

"Who is that? His temperament is rather extraordinary. How come I've never seen him before?"

"Yeah, that aura of his is rare. He should be rather capable. But the number of Heaven's Favorites in our House is countable. How come I've never seen him before?"

"No matter who he is, good for him for standing out! I just don't know if he can defeat that bastard!"

"Aye, I don't think so. Even our Elders stood out and lost. How can he win?"

As Ling Xian walked over, everyone held onto their suspicion. They didn't know who he was but knew that Lin Tian is very strong. They were worried and scared that they will soon be disappointed.

These were those with lower cultivation levels. The completion levelled Elders' pupils restricted as they attempted to see which level of cultivation Ling Xian was in.

When they found out he was also in the intermediate stage of the completion level, they revealed some hope. They were already desperate and was certain that the Wan Jian House was for sure going to lose their face.

But a completion levelled powerhouse showed up. Of course they were now hopeful.

"Defeat me?"

Lin Tian snickered and pointed his blade at Ling Xian, "How arrogant of you. The Wan Jian House has no capabilities but sure is a master with words."

"Am I good with words or good at fighting, you will find out soon."

Ling Xian glared at him and stepped up. In less than a second, he appeared inside the battle ring.

"You sure are confident." Lin Tian scorned, "Sadly, confidence is useless. Only capabilities speak."

"You will see soon." Ling Xian's expression was cold. As he stared at the arrogant young man, coldness washed all over him.

If he came for friendly battles, then all is well. But he came to cause trouble and said such degrading words, who wouldn't be angry?

He has to stand out and avenge the Wan Jian House by slapping him in the face!

"Interesting."

Lin Tian laughed coldly, his handsome face was full of haughtiness, "I heard what everyone is discussing about. You are not even a member of the House, why are you stepping out for them? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you with my weapon?"

"Who said I'm not a part of the Wan Jian House?"

The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. Though he didn't enter the House under a normal circumstance, after he heard what Dao Wu Ji did for him, he has thought of himself as a part of the House.

Thus, he was willing to stand out and save their face!

"Are you possibly…?"

Lin Tian laughed carelessly, "So you really are that person. Whatever, the result will all be the same. You will be defeated. Then, the face of Wan Jian will get even more swollen!"

"What a cocky person."

Ling Xian's eyes glazed over as a fire burned inside his chest, "Why don't you come and try. I sure want to see if you have the right to behave this way."

"You will soon understand that being a hero is not that easy. Once I punch out all of your teeth, I will see if you can still remain calm!"

Laughing, Lin Tian's Qi exploded out of him and engulfed the entire arena.

Immediately, everyone's expression darkened. After these past two days, they are now well aware of Lin Tian's terror. Though his capability wasn't threatening to the House because the Supreme Headmaster could easily squish him, he came under the façade that he was here to challenge those of the same level. Dao Wu Ji was not about to bully those weaker than him. Plus, the House lacked Heaven's Favorites among the young generation. Thus, some elders of the completion level had to stand out and fight.

What a pity, even those elders were no opponent of his. This proved that this person was one of the best.

This was why everyone was somewhat worried. They were terrified that Ling Xian will lose and be will once again be slapped by Lin Tian.

"I am calm because I don't think anything of you. I am collected because you pose no threat to me." Ling Xian softly grinned. His Qi was very much overpowering. However, he was merely of the intermediate level, who would believe to him?

Don't forget, ever since he returned to Yunzhou, four to five completion levelled cultivators of the advanced stage has been defeated by him. On top of that, the Third Prince died under his hand. A Heaven's Favorite of the intermediate stage of the completion level is nothing to him.

"Alright, then watch me defeat you with one attack!"

Lin Tian's expression was calm. The black spear in his hand emitted an infinite amount of light that headed for ling Xian!

After all, he won 37 battles and claimed victory over all Heaven's Favorites of the Wan Jian House. It meant his capability was not at all bad.

But he was simply "not bad".

Against the tearing of the spear, Ling Xian remained collected. He simply raised his right arm and slowly threw a punch.

This punch was slow and gentle, yet the moment it was unleashed, it erupted with incomparable amount of power. As if it was a hand of God, it could smash everything within 3000 miles and shatter the sky!

Instantly, Lin Tian's face dropped. Sadly, it was too late.

Though his attack was considered strong, under this earth shattering punch, it was nothing. Immediately, his spear crumbled to pieces and his entire body flung out.

As he kneeled down and puked out blood, a nonchalant voice slowly rose and caused every spectator's blood to shoot up to their heads!

"A mere completion levelled cultivator of the intermediate stage dare to provoke the Wan Jian House. Who do you think you are?"
