Chapter 748: Deterrence

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

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

A joking and provoking tone slowly arose, startling everyone.

Then, everyone saw a bright long sword break out and glide across the sky. It appeared sharp and undefendable.

Woosh!

The gliding of this sword was more eye catching than the flight of a Goddess. As if a real immortal had made a move, the sword had enough energy to destroy everything around it and could split open the earth!

“Eh?”

Sensing the coldness that was inching up his back, the demon’s expression changed and he hurriedly dodged.

Using this opportunity, Hua Wan Yue held onto her wilted body and quickly returned to the ground. Then, her excited gaze traced down the source of the voice.

Everyone did the same.

After everyone saw the person in white however, they were all somewhat stunned. They didn’t think the person who made a move was the new God of Flowers.

As the first God of Flowers in thousands of years, and as the first ever male God of Flowers, Ling Xian was without a doubt, extremely attention snatching.

In the entire City of Flowers, there were basically nobody who didn’t know who he was. Especially after he defeated Yuezhou’s six heroes, his name has imprinted on everyone’s heart.

His extraordinariness, that beautiful scene of him slaying his enemies – everyone in the City of Flowers found it difficult to erase those images from their minds.

Therefore, after everyone realized that the person who made a move was Ling Xian, everyone was reminded of his terrifying capabilities and they had to recollect themselves.

However, they then were reminded of the demon’s extremely fierce abilities and the look in their eyes darkened.

“Aye, the God of Flowers is very powerful. Though he is undefeatable completion, he still belongs to the completion level.”

“That’s right. Even if the God of Flowers is completion undefeatable, it is still difficult to win against an original leveled cultivator. Plus, the demon is at the peak of the original level.”

“Aye, the City Leader and the city’s array cannot even defend against this demon. We are done for. If he takes away our City Leader, then not only will our city’s name be tarnished, but our capabilities will also be wounded.”

Everyone sighed in sadness. Their faces revealed how helpless they felt.

Hua Wan Yue felt the same way. Even thinking about the possibility of becoming that little demon’s concubine made her feel like she was being dragged to icy cold hell and her entire body ached.

“F!ck the God of Flowers! You dare to attack me! You sure are tired of –”

The demon shouted in anger and began to turn around to pinpoint the source of the voice. However, when he saw clearly the face of the young man in white, he reacted as if he had been struck by lightning.

“Living…”

After uttering out the last word, the demon’s eyes widened and even his breathing increased in pace.

To him, someone who has once ruled the world, there were two snippets of memories that he refuses to recall. The first one was how he was once sealed inside the Demon Defending Monument.

The other one was how Ling Xian released him out of the monument but then threatened him greatly.

Out of these two of his least favorite memories, the lesser of his favorites was the latter. He wasn’t ashamed of being defeated in a battle, but he was ashamed and humiliated with being controlled by someone who could so easily be snapped by him.

Because of that, after that great battle, the demon ended up leaving Yunzhou and came to Yuezhou. All he wanted was to never see that damn young man again.

Yet before his eyes, Ling Xian had appeared before him yet again. Why wouldn’t he fall into a state of astonishment?

“You… you…”

The demon widened his eyes and his face was full of disbelief.

“What about me? Could it be that after so many years, you have forgotten all about your old friend, me?”

Ling Xian had a grin on his lips as he stared at the astonished demon. He teased, “Alright, so you have forgotten about me. However, this Demon Defending Monument isn’t something you can forget right?”

Then, he extended his right hand and a black monument materialized in midair. Immediately, terrifying Qi rolled out with enough energy to make the sky crumble and suppress the Gods.

The Demon Defending Monument!

The enemy of all demons!

“What the f!ck! Don’t take out that monument!”

The demon shrieked out of fear. Like a rat who had just seen a cat, he lunged backwards.

This scene shocked everyone!

They glanced at the fearful demon and glared at the smiling Ling Xian. None of them could understand what was happening.

What was happening? Based on their conversation, this God of Flowers seems to know this terrifying demon?

Plus, it looks like the demon is scared of the God of Flowers?

Everyone was in awe and they wondered if they were interpreting the situation wrong? Why would such a heaven defying demon be afraid of a completion leveled cultivator?

“I am merely taking it out. Is it really necessary to be this afraid?”

Ling Xian teased and decided to use the technique that awakens the Demon Defending Monument. Instantly, the black monument began to emit black light and exude Qi that was getting more and more terrifying.

The demon was getting more and more afraid.

He quickly stepped backwards as if he had seen a ghost. His attitude of being able to conquer everything transformed into fear. Even his body was trembling.

It was now apparent that the Demon Defending Monument and Ling Xian had left him very agonizing memories.

“Don’t, don’t awaken the Demon Defending Monument!”

The demon shouted continuously. His terrifying Qi caused everything around him to vibrate and shook up the sky.

To everyone else, this was most definitely a fearful reaction. Because they were now certain that this demon was scared!

Scared of Ling Xian!

Everyone was shocked to the extreme as all their gazes converged on Ling Xian like they were watching a monster.

Hua Wan Yue was the same. They bluntly stared at the handsome young man and giant waves rolled in their hearts.

Not even in her dream did she think that the demon she could not defeat would be afraid of Ling Xian. She definitely did not consider the possibility that he would possess the Demon Defending Monument!

“It’s been a while since I have taken out the Demon Defending Monument. I am merely waking it up a bit. Don’t be scared, demon.”

Ling Xian continued to smile brightly, “Don’t forget, our friendship goes way back. Now that we have finally reunited, why would I try to hurt you?”

“Dammit, dammit! Damn you! Why are you here again?!” The demon grabbed onto his own hair. Not only was he reacting dramatically out of fear, he looked like he was going insane.

This made Ling Xian shake his head with a chuckle. He was now even more certain that he will be able to achieve his goal.

“Demon, we were once comrades who fought beside each other. Why are you treating me with such an attitude?”

Ling Xian softly smiled before wiping it all off. Then, he said something that pushed the demon to hell.

“If you don’t show me a welcoming face, then the monument will want to contain you even if I don’t want to.”

At those words, the demon shuddered. His eyes were full of fear.

Then, the darkness on his face disappeared without a trace and blossomed into a bright smile like a flower.

His manner of bending forward and back for this guy made everyone wonder if their eyes have gone bad.

This… this is the demon who was impossible to offend?

My god, what a joke!

Everyone’s face was full of disbelief. But they then understood that the reason why the demon was reacting so differently was because of that handsome young man.

This shocked all of them as they all glanced towards Ling Xian like they were looking at a God who sits above them all.

“Very well.”

Now that the demon was smiling welcomingly, Ling Xian grinned in satisfaction, “Demon, I can’t believe that after so many years, your life has improved so drastically. You now even have more than 100 concubines!”
