Painting of the Nine Immortals
chapter-526

The Sun hung high in the sky, shedding down an infinite amount of sunlight.

Ling Xian bore both of his wings as he glided across the sky like an arrow that just left the bow – the speed of his movement was alarming.

However, the spiritual beings behind him were all capable beings and were chasing after him closely. They were somewhat keeping up with him.

This result was what Ling Xian wanted. Since the beginning, he had no plan to really escape from everyone, he was planning on luring these spiritual beings to a more secluded place so he can kill everyone at once.

"Hehe, give up. I sure want to see where you piece of trash can escape to!"

The golden roc snickered coldly as both of its wings began to shine brightly. They solidified into an eternal Sun that pressed down onto Ling Xian.

"Piece of trash?"

The corner of Ling Xian's lip curled up as his Halberd of the Divine Warrior swept across, destroying the brightly shining Sun. Then, he made his offensive attack accompanied by an insult that almost made the roc puke due to anger. He aimed at the enemies behind him.

"Don't forget. I was the one who killed your roc kind's strongest inheritor. If I am a piece of trash, what does that make your inheritor?"

The moment his voice trailed off, roaring Qi shot through the sky and shook up the entire area! Everything in sight became barren!

However, these spiritual beings were all powerhouses themselves, and they blocked Ling Xian's attack easily. What angered them was Ling Xian's statement.

Ling Xian was right. If he was a piece of trash, then what were the people whom he defeated? Wouldn't they be less than trash?

The inheritors the different beings sent represented their own individual being, and if they were worse than a piece of trash, then their kind would be even more useless!

Following this logic and thinking about it this way turned all the different beings' faces black. The golden roc especially, had steam leaving his head from anger. Even his body was quivering a little.

How powerful was the roc kind? Even today, at a time where the foreign beings tend to go into hiding, they remained a kind that was considered royal and powerful. In terms of both capabilities, or individual abilities, they were all insanely commanding and were known to be undefeatable!

Yet before their eyes, they were now known as a kind that was worse than trash. At the same time, they had no reason to argue back. How could it not be furious?

"Ling Xian, I want you dead!"

Shouting, the golden roc fluttered its wings aggressively. Feather after feather turned into swords and headed towards Ling Xian with the intention to kill.

The terrifying Qi of it created cuts even in the void.

Despite how powerful it was, Ling Xian was no weakling. Though he was weaker than him by an entire stage, he was almost its equal!

BOOOOOOOM!

The Halberd of the Divine Warrior emitted heavenly light that transformed into giant waves that swam across the area, barging through all objects!

"You sure are gutsy. If you dare, continue your pursuit. I will pick out a nice scenic place for you to be buried in!"

Ling Xian continued to dash on as he swung his Halberd of the Divine Warrior back and forth. Every movement resulted in an explosion of an infinite amount of Qi that attacked the enemies behind him!

Because everyone was restricted by distance, the foreign beings could not unleash all their abilities despite their knowledge. At this very moment, they were somehow at a stalemate against Ling Xian and could not cause any effective damage to him.

This forced them to jump with anger, but they all knew it was useless.

Remember that every single one of them was extremely powerful and was capable enough to fight at least 300 rebuttals against Ling Xian. Yet when these spiritual beings began to work together, there was nothing they can do against him. This alone was enough to prove something.

To prove Ling Xian's powerfulness!

"Fella, you be arrogant now, but once I catch up to you, your blood will splatter for meters!" the golden roc was absolutely furious as it fluttered its wings violently, increasing its speed.

However, amongst these spiritual beings, it was not the fastest one.

A giant purple leopard was the speediest of them all. It slid across the sky like a shooting star and left the remaining spiritual beings behind.

"Ling Xian, your head is mine!"

The purple leopard had looks of disdain, and the way it moved was fast, like lightning. Its speed was hard to imagine, and nobody knew what kind of technique it used to achieve such a speed. After merely seconds, it arrived before Ling Xian.

However, its fast speed did not end up gaining itself anything. It ended up giving its enemy an opportunity to kill instead.

"What a dumb*ss. Get the hell out of my way."

Ling Xian glanced at this foreign being. If this were before, a beast of the advanced stage of the completion level would pose somewhat of a threat to him. However, these days, the beast doesn't even have the right to fight against him.

HOOOMMMMMMMMMM!

The Burnished Mirror of Spirituality appeared and shone a ray of heavenly light that could split open a path. Everything the light touched, crumbled.

Immediately, the purple leopard's face changed. The reason why it dared to rush before Ling Xian was, one, it believed it was very strong. Two, because Ling Xian chose to run away. It thought Ling Xian was very weak.

It didn't know that Ling Xian chose to escape early on with the intention of killing them all at once. After all, what he was hiding from was the alliance of the different kinds. If he were fighting them one on one, he wouldn't fear any spiritual being!

For a being like the purple leopard; he could kill it in one move!

At this moment, the purple leopard realized its stupidity and Ling Xian's powerfulness.

Sadly, it was too late. No matter how many techniques the leopard called out, it could not escape the light shone by the Burnished Mirror of Spirituality. Immediately, it imploded!

At this scene, the remaining spiritual beings frowned. They didn't predict Ling Xian to be this dominating. However, none of them feared him. On the contrary, they remained confident in their abilities and truly believed that this was a winning war for them.

"Ling Xian, die!"

A black serpent attacked from behind. Opening its mouth, a gigantic web spread across and blocked Ling Xian's way. At the same time, eight sharp objects emerged and headed towards the silhouette in white.

Knife, spear, sword, halberd, and four other weapons appeared. They sliced and cut without mercy!

However, Ling Xian remained collected and calm. He did not hesitate or waver as his eyes flickered and the remaining transformative qualities of the Eyes of Execution showed themselves. They all moved together to greet the sneak attack from behind.

HOMMMMMMMMMMM!

After a giant rumble, an explosion shot through the cloud.

Amongst the wave of energy, Ling Xian suddenly turned around. His Sword of Execution dropped down and instantly cut the serpent in two!

Fresh blood sprayed everywhere, dying his robe red.

The red represented the end of a life and represented that a feast of slaughtering was about to begin.

At this, the other beings had a change of expression again. They didn't think that Ling Xian would kill cultivators the same way one would cut a watermelon. So crisp and so quick!

However, at the sight of him stopping his running, the beings felt a rush of excitement. They thought Ling Xian has realized that he was now helpless and has given up.

"Hehe, fella, how come you stopped running? Did you finally realize that no matter what, you cannot survive this?" The golden roc snickered as bloody killer's intent flickered in its eyes.

The nine-headed lion had a look of disdain as it laughed, "Young man, now you know what it feels like to be hopeless. Don't worry, I will not kill you, I will bring you back to my kind and force you to experience the cruelest punishments!"

"Me? Hopeless? Desperate?"

Ling Xian shook his head with a grin. The reason why he stopped wasn't that he was now hopeless. He simply felt like the scenery around him was rather beautiful and that if the other beings died here, it wouldn't humiliate them.

Chuckling, Ling Xian shifted his gaze to the area below his feet, "What do you guys think of this place?"

"Hmm?"

Everyone froze for a second and looked down.

The entire area was rich and dense with grass and trees. Tall mountains surrounded the area, making it look very fresh, tranquil, and similar to a painting.

At this, everyone became confused. They weren't sure what Ling Xian meant by this. However, this didn't stop them from spewing out random trash and taunts. The golden roc spoke out.

"Ling Xian, could it be that you have chosen this place to be your gave?"

"Yes, this place is the place I chose to be the grave."

Ling Xian nodded softly as he stared at the horrifying silhouettes before him. His lips curled up, "however, this grave is not chosen for me. It's chosen by me, for you."

Hearing this, laughter erupted throughout the area.

"Hahaha, how laughable. What did he say? He chose this place as a grave for us?" the golden roc guffawed, "This is too funny. He is stupid to the extreme."

"Haha, I can't even. My tears are coming out from laughing." The six-armed gorilla held onto its belly, "Ling Xian, should I call you stupid or should I call you very stupid? How can you even say something like this?"

"Ling Xian, you are too funny and too stupid."

The nine-headed spiritual lion had a look of mockery as it said, "Can't you read your circumstance? Just with you alone, you dare to say you chose this place to be our grave? You sure are not self-aware."

The remaining spiritual beings all spoke out. Their tone was full of sarcasm and mockery.

This was normal. Anyone would think Ling Xian's actions made him an idiot in this situation. He was the type of idiot who could not get any dumber.

Remember that the alliance of these spiritual beings was enough to defeat any enemy that is in their way. They were extremely powerful. Ling Xian was here alone, even if more Heaven's Favorites of his level were here, they would not be able to escape the fate of being killed!

Therefore, when everyone heard Ling Xian's statement, of course, they couldn't help but to laugh out loud and mock him.

However, Ling Xian's expression was calm like water as he said slowly, "Are you done laughing?"

"I am not done. But I do not want to waste any more time with you dumb*ss." The golden roc glared at him, "Everyone, let's attack together and kill this person here and now."

Hearing this, majority of the spiritual beings nodded as they found it impossible to hide the disdain on their faces.

It was plain obvious that they have already decided that Ling Xian will be instantly killed by them.

"Kill?"

Ling Xian's lips formed into a grin that was extremely sarcastic and cold. "I love that word. Then why don't we try and see if in the end, you are the ones killing me, or if I am the one killing you."

"Hahaha, killing us? Ling Xian, I sure admire you, and I admire your stupidity!"

The golden roc laughed out loud, and the remaining spiritual beings guffawed loudly as well. Then, they all slowly stepped out in a leisure manner. The way they walked was as if they were taking a stroll in their backyard, confident, and full of arrogance.

"Very soon, you will realize who is the stupid one." Ling Xian's expression dropped. He quickly formed a hand seal, and the inhibition spell on the Demon Defending Monument broke off.

Then, an infinite amount of devious energy roared out. The sky darkened in an instant.

Amongst the devious energy, a tall and giant silhouette began to materialize. As if he was the leader of all the devils, he exuded an incomparable amount of ruthlessness and violence.

"Demon, kill them!"

Ling Xian was emotionless as he glanced around and uttered out a statement that was brimming with killer's intent.

The moment he spoke out, the demon made his move. Just as the roc once did, the demon lunged forward towards the enemies. Its terror reached an extreme and made everyone's expression drop. Nobody here could stop shivering from fear.

Sadly, it was too late.

As the infinite amount of devious energy poured out and as the demon proved itself to be undefeatable, it attacked. All nine heavens shook at this attack!

HOMMMM!

An earth-shattering rumble ripped the entire space into pieces!

What ripped along with the space was the ten bodies of the different spiritual beings. In an instant, fresh blood dyed the sky red.

Everyone felt a chill crawling down their spine!
