Painting of the Nine Immortals
chapter-747

Ling Xian had known the demon for sometime before. Though the process of getting to know him wasn't exactly a happy one since they were using each other to fulfill their own agendas, the two remained acquaintances.

Plus, the demon once helped him by allowing him to escape from the golden roc, the six armed gorilla, and the nine headed lion.

Now that he was seeing the demon again, Ling Xian couldn't help but to smile. That smile however, looked somewhat fraudulent.

"Truly it's like when I'm about to nap, someone sends me a pillow. I was just thinking how I am missing someone to enhance my probability of winning and you show up."

Ling Xian softly smiled and stared at that tall silhouette. His bright eyes flashed with interest.

Just then, the demon opened his lips and said something that made Ling Xian and everyone else speechless.

"Hehe, young lady, just become mine!"

The demon laughed out loud. His laughter rolled out throughout the entire place, sounding extremely arrogant.

However, reflected in his profound eyes was the look of pervertedness. Looking at Hua Wan Yue's curvy body, his eyes were full of passion.

Who could blame him? Hua Wan Yue, whether it was her looks or her temperament, were all considered to be top notch. Plus, she was of the original level, her status as the City of Flower's leader made her the dream of all male cultivators.

"You are dreaming!"

Hua Wan Yue raised an eyebrow, looking threatening. Qi of the same caliber poured out of her in the same manner as an angered immortal.

"Hehe, what's so bad about being with me? I have status, I have capabilities. Come over here, beauty. Be my 145th concubine."

The demon chuckled. Though he still looked handsome and extraordinary, no matter what, the him currently, appeared very wretched.

"The 145th concubine? What kind of woman do you take me for?"

Hua Wan Yue's face was red and puffy. Her chest heaved up and down like scenic waves.

This made the demon's eyes turn even more heated, "If you are worried that I have too many wives, I will desert them all when I get back. I will only recognize you as my wife. What do you say?"

"Blarg!"

Hua Wan Yue clenched her teeth. Despite her calm mentality, she was about to explode from anger. This wasn't her first encounter with this demon. A year ago, the two of them had a few rebuttals.

That time, she borrowed the City of Flowers' array and defended herself against the enemy. The demon's capabilities were truly terrifying and she barely made her escape.

Today, the demon had presented himself again. Her heart was thumping and she wasn't certain whether or not she could shoo him away this time.

"Hehe, I love your sassy ways. If you merely obeyed me, then I wouldn't feel achieved." The demon's face continued to look wretched. The way he looked at Hua Wan Yue was like he was almost drooling.

This made the City Leader's body quiver. It also made Ling Xian laugh.

"Demon… I really didn't think that when I meet you again, you would turn out like this."

Ling Xian shook his head with a chuckle. "You have more than 100 concubines. It seems like your life these years have been very nourishing and your capabilities have been restored."

As he spoke, his smile faded and the atmosphere turned serious.

Based on what he was sensing, the demon's cultivation level had already reached the peak of the original level. Remember that when they parted last time, the demon was merely at the beginning of the original level.

But right now, he was already at the peak of the original level. This insane speed was almost unheard of.

Remembering that the demon's actual capability before however, made Ling Xian accept this. After all, this person once reached the fifth level!

"The more capable you are now, the better. Because it would enhance my chances of winning." Ling Xian continued to smile. His eyes were full of high hopes.

"Shameless! You are extremely shameless!"

Hua Wan Yue's face was completely white by now. The original level's terrifying Qi seeped out of her and decreased the temperature here.

The demon ignored all of this.

Though he had fallen from the fifth level and was not at all what he was once, his experience was retained. Plus, he was able to reach the peak of the original level within 10 years.

Hua Wan Yue on the other hand, was merely at the advanced stage of the original level.

"Beauty, just follow me. Don't worry, I will ensure that you have all sorts of things to enjoy in your life."

The demon laughed proudly. "I am not bragging. But I once was a cultivator of the fifth level. What do you think? Is your heart beating for me now?"

"Blarg, look at you! You dare to claim you were of the fifth level?"

Hua Wan Yue refused to believe him. She pointed her sword directly at him, "Less trash talk, come fight me!"

"Hehe, I love your heroic stance. But let's not fight."

The demon laughed. "I am at the peak of the original level. If I accidentally hurt you, my heart would ache."

"Peak of the original level…"

Hua Wan Yue's heart dropped. Half a year ago, she was already no opponent of the demon's and she could only escape using the city's array.

Today, the demon had reached the peak of the original level. How could she escape this time?

Though it may appear impossible, she had to give it a shot. She really didn't want to be his 145th wife.

"Every elder, listen to me. Use the array of the city to kill the enemy!"

Hua Wan Yue ordered as a terrifying Qi swept out of her. That, plus the protective arrays of the city made her temperament appear even more terrifying.

The demon still ignored all of this.

"Haha, since you beauty is keen on fighting me. Then I will obey."

The demon laughed out loud. "But let's make something clear. If you lose, then you will be my 145th concubine and birth a few small demons for me!"

"You are dreaming!"

Hua Wan Yue attacked. Energy from her sword turned into light and blinded the entire universe.

"Haha, if this was half a year ago, this move may have affected me somewhat. But today… hehe, break!"

The demon screamed out loud. His energy poured out of him and he easily defended against this attack.

This changed Hua Wan Yue's expression and made Ling Xian frown.

"Based on this move alone I can see that Hua Wan Yue is no opponent of the demon's. Even if she has the help of the city's array, it wouldn't make a difference."

Ling Xian analyzed their abilities and continued, "It looks like in the end, I will need to jump in."

As he spoke, the battle in the sky intensified. An infinite amount of light drowned the place and crumbled the space around them.

Hua Wan Yue's face was serious. Every time she raised her hand, light shot in all four directions, as sharp as they can be.

Sadly, she may be powerful, but the demon was even more so!

His eyes were provoking and the way he moved was so relaxed like this was all a game.

This angered Hua Wan Yue and her body quivered as she crazily attacked. Rays of Qi shot out and deflected off towards the demon like a rain storm.

That plus the protect array's support, everything was truly heaven defying.

Sadly, the demon was just stronger. Both of his hands were moving and though nothing aggressive exploded, a small black hole materialized and sucked in her sword.

Ling Xian raised an eyebrow. He was very happy at this.

He had already decided to once again tame the demon. So the stronger the demon, the better.

Hua Wan Yue's expression however, was extremely ugly by now. She didn't think this enemy would be this difficult to deal with and could defend this attack of hers.

"Haha, beauty. I told you, you are no opponent of mine. Just follow me."

The demon laughed out loud and horrifying Qi exploded. The wind blew and the clouds danced as the sky darkened.

"I told you, you are dreaming!"

Hua Wan Yue clenched her teeth and her meter long sword swirled around, increasing its offensive abilities by 30 percent.

Whooosh!

The sword slashed across the sky, sharp as ever. This, along with her beautiful visage and her alluring body made her seem like a real fairy's descendent.

An out of the world fairy!

The City of Flower's best technique was displayed by Hua Wan Yue right now. It truly was exceptionally beautiful and did not at all ruin the name of this technique.

Pity though, this move did not faze the demon at all.

His hands were gliding and the space before him had collapsed, dragging Hua Wan Yue and her sword into its void.

However, Hua Wan Yue was an original leveled powerhouse who's been through hundreds of battles. Though the result of her technique wasn't what she had hoped, it was enough to create an opportunity for her to get herself right before the demon.

"You shameless being, die!"

Shouting, Hua Wan Yue's sword pointed directly at the demon and cold killer's intent poured out and froze the space.

"Haha, beauty. This little capability is not enough to kill me."

The demon laughed out loud and held up two fingers. He placed them around the blade and then, terrifying Qi poured out and landed on Hua Wan Yue's body.

HOMMMM!

The sword shrieked and Hua Wan Yue stumbled back. Fresh blood rolled down her chin.

"What about it, does my beauty accept me now?" The demon smiled. "Just follow me. I promise you that you will live a glorious life and you will get rain when you ask for rain."

"Right now I get wind when I ask for wind, I get rain when I ask for rain!"

Hua Wan Yue wiped the fresh blood off her lips. Her beautiful face was stern. Though her appearance was gentle and kind, she was actually very determined on the inside.

For her to follow a man?

That was in his wildest dreams!

"Haha, I love the way you are. You are a woman who can conquer everything herself!" The demon laughed out loud and his eyes were extremely heated.

Ling Xian couldn't help but to exclaim, "A woman who's soft on the outside and strong on the inside."

"I don't like someone as shameless as you."

Hua Wan Yue's expression was cold. The sword in her hand once again shone and headed towards the demon.

"Again?"

The demon raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat impatient, "Oh well. Then I will make sure you have no more defensive power in you and I will drag you home in your current state!"

Then, the bloody corpse behind him began to materialize and exude a wave of terror that changed the expression on everyone's face.

HOMMMM!

After an earth splitting rumble, all the corpses that made up the mountain landed on Hua Wan Yue. Her face turned pale and she began to puke blood.

Next, the demon slapped and his palm landed on her chest.

RETCH!

Fresh blood splattered everywhere and Hua Wan Yue flung backwards for meters. Helplessness filled her face.

She knew that she had lost.

Utterly lost.

"Haha, beauty, come home with me and marry me!"

The demon laughed out loud and instantly reappeared before Hua Wan Yue and his giant hand grabbed her waist.

For once she felt hopeless, as if her entire world was crumbling down.

The elders all lost their composure and looked desperate.

Just as the demon laughed out loud and as Hua Wan Yue was giving up, a calm but provoking sentence was spoken.

At the same time, a bright sword appeared that lit up the universe and startled everyone.

"Hey, you have more than 100 concubines already. Why are you giving her a hard time?"
