Chapter 699: Temporary Calmness

Translator: _Tat_  Editor: Rundi

It was already past noon. Though the Sun was still giving off warmth, the coldness of this place could not be chased away.

Ling Xian’s expression was calm and care-free. He wore his blood dyed robe and was looking similar to a demon who astounded all nine levels of heaven. His Halberd of the Divine Warrior was placed right between Elder Lan’s brows. All he needed to do now was to push forward, and the man before him would be gone forever.

This scene surprised everyone inside the City of Sin!

All of them were now staring wide eyed with shock written all over their faces.

Even though they all knew Ling Xian was powerful and believed that he could finish the completion leveled powerhouses, they never thought that he was powerful to this extend.

Since he started attacking until now, only a few breaths of time had passed. Perhaps the same amount of time as two exchanges.

Yet under such a shockingly short period of time, he continuously slayed. Even the most powerful one, Elder Lan, was now controlled by him. How unbelievable was this?

How powerful was he?

“Unbelievable. Within minutes he killed five people. This is far too overpowering!”

“It’s not just overpowering. It is pure slaughter. Those completion leveled powerhouse, before him, were weaker than ants!”

“Unbelievable. My hands are shaking from this!”

Everyone chimed in to speak and watched Ling Xian as if he was the reincarnation of a demon. There was fear, respect, and heat on their faces.

Their gazes were similar to the way they look at Buddhas. They were close to kneeling down and paying him respect!

When Ling Xian destroyed the three families, he became number one in every citizen’s heart. It was as if as long as he was there, everything would end up fine even if the sky crashes down.

And now, he was once again revealing his capabilities. Within short minutes, he had slain all enemies. This made all the citizens respect him and admire him to the extreme.

Currently, everyone was looking at him with heated gazes. It was as if they were looking at an incomparable God!

Elder Lan was the same.

Of course, there was no heat in his gaze, but even he thought of this young man as a demon.

This was all because Ling Xian was far too powerful. He truly was like the descendant of the God of warrior who could move without consideration for anyone else.

Just moments ago, Elder Lan and his subordinates were mocking him and laughing at him. Yet moments after, the other five had died. Elder Lan was also destined to die.

This shocking fighting abilities. This heaven-defying behaviour. Why wouldn’t he be known as the reincarnation of a God?

“Now, you are the only one left.”

Ling Xian was suspending in midair. His blood dyed robe was fluttering in the wind and emitting a terrifying killer’s intent.

This dragged Elder Lan back to reality. His face was full of fear and he so very much wanted to escape. However, under Ling Xian’s suppression, his legs felt like they were injected with lead – heavy and immobile.

He knew very well himself that he was no opponent of the youth before him. The gap between their abilities were far too huge and he had no way of winning.

Therefore, he became even more fearful. Even his body began to shake.

“Now you know to be afraid?”

Ling Xian had a smile of mockery and coldness, “What happened to your arrogance? What happened to your irrationality?”

What happened?

Of course you scared it away.

Elder Lan felt bitter. Never in his dreams did he think the person before him would end up being this powerful. Even though he was also at the peak of the completion level, before Ling Xian, he couldn’t even defend against one attack.

The gap between them was insane. One was the clouds while the other was mud. They shouldn’t even be spoken of in the same sentence.

As much as he felt bitter, he also felt regretful.

He hated himself for provoking such a demonic creature!

“You aren’t talking, that means there’s not much to say. Let me send you on your way.”

Ling Xian glared at him as his Halberd of the Divine Warrior began to emit light and killer’s intent. Elder Lan lost his composure.

“No, you cannot kill me!”

Elder Lan’s heart was shaking with fear and his face was painted with terror as well. He screamed, “I am the Core Elder of the Qing Ming House. If you kill me, the Qing Ming House will not forgive you!”

“The Qing Ming House?”

Ling Xian smiled mockingly. His Halberd of the Divine Warrior then softly stabbed into Elder Lan’s head. Blood began trickling down his face.

This horrifying cruelty made Elder Lan extremely scared. He crazily manipulated his Golden Dan in an attempt to pierce through the barrier of Qi set by his enemy.

HOMMMMM!

Elder Lan called out to all the techniques he knew and he exploded with power. He was capable, but it was just a pity that his opponent was Ling Xian.

A demon like figure who was nearly at the undefeatable realm of the completion level.

Against the explosive amount of power, Ling Xian merely moved his Golden Dan around and immediately pushed it back. Elder Lan puked out a mouthful of blood.

“Don’t waste your energy. The gap between us is far too big. Killing you only requires one move from me.”

Ling Xian spoke softly. The Halberd stayed between Elder Lan’s brows and did not move an inch.

“What a powerful person!”

Elder Lan was now utterly hopeless. He originally thought his sudden explosion of power could earn him a chance of survival. Yet reality banged him on the head.

Not only was he so easily suppressed by Ling Xian, he couldn’t even force Ling Xian to step back a single step. How different were they in abilities?

They were truly night and day!

Therefore, Elder Lan was now helpless. He finally realized how big the gap was between himself and Ling Xian and finally realized how stupid he was.

“I have heard all about the controlling forces in Yuezhou, but Qing Ming House was never one of them.” Ling Xian mockingly smiled, not at all finding the Qing Ming House threatening.

Yuezhou was wide and spacious with many forces. He’s heard of all forces that were somewhat powerful yet he had never heard of the Qing Ming House.

In other words, this House was unranked.

Of course, it could be that the Qing Ming House was very capable but was very low key. But this possibility was low, almost non-existent.

Therefore, why would Ling Xian care about someone from that House?

“My Qing Ming House is not exactly well-known, but it’s not a House a completion leveled cultivator could take lightly.”

Elder Lan pretended to be calm and repetitively told himself that his only way out now was to use his background. Therefore, he faked a fearless expression and snickered, “I am warning you. If you dare to kill me, the Qing Ming House will send soldiers and wipe out the City of Sin.”

“Really?”

Ling Xian raised an eyebrow and teased, “Then let me ask you, does the Qing Ming House have original leveled cultivators?”

Hearing this, Elder Lan’s eyes flickered but he didn’t respond.

The Qing Ming House was decent in capabilities and was one of the top tiers in the area. However, the strongest one in the House were those at the peak of the completion level. They had no original leveled cultivators.

Therefore, he couldn’t find anything to say.

“So you have none.” Ling Xian grinned but quickly wiped it off. Slowly, he said something extremely presumptuous and full of killer’s intent.

“Do you really think I should be afraid of a House that doesn’t even have an original leveled cultivator?”

Just then, the Qi he emitted turned even more horrifying like a real dragon who had just awakened.

Instantly, Elder Lan recalled Ling Xian’s insane capabilities. His body shook violently.

He very clearly knew how capable his House was. The strongest one there was of the completion peak. This capability was undefeatable to others.

But to a heaven defying monster at the undefeatable realm of the completion level, that was nothing.

Don’t forget, he just defeated five completion leveled powerhouses. Even Elder Lan, who was at the peak of the completion level was no opponent of his!

This alone was enough to prove that a House, where the strongest is someone who’s at the peak of the completion level, was no threat to Ling Xian. One could even make the claim that the one who should be afraid was the Qing Ming House.

“You cannot kill me. Even if you are insanely strong, you are no opponent to my House!” Elder Lan’s heart was shaking. He was terrified to the extreme.

“Then tell the Ming Qing House to try me.”

Ling Xian snickered, “I am too lazy to waste time with you. Tell me honestly, how did the Ming Qing House find out the secrets about the City of Sin?”

Hearing this, Elder Lan’s eyes turned hopeful. “Let me go and I will tell you!”

“You are bargaining with me?”

Ling Xian’s eyes turned cold and his Halberd of the Divine Warrior emitted killer’s intent, “You don’t have that right.”

“Then you have no way of knowing the secrets of the City of Sin!” Elder Lan was grasping on straws here. He knows that this was his last ray of hope. If he tells now, he will be dead for sure.

Therefore, he decided to use this to coerce Ling Xian.

“Are you coercing me?”

Ling Xian had a teasing expression on his face. The reason why he didn’t kill Elder Lan right away was because he wanted to hear how the Qing Ming House found out about the secrets of the City of Sin.

But the answer to him, was not going to make a big difference.

“You are so stupid. If you know about the secrets for the City of Sin, then maybe I will spare your life. But you only know that the City of Sin has secrets. That in itself has no value to me.”

Ling Xian revealed another mocking smile. “So, have a peaceful journey.”

Then, his expression turned cold. The Halberd of the Divine Warrior began to emit heavenly light!

That cold killer’s intent terrified Elder Lan. He crazily moved around his Golden Dan, which once again exploded with prowess.

Sadly, this level of attack couldn’t even generate a wave in front of Ling Xian, the ocean.

He merely moved his Gold Dan and Elder Lan’s attack was defeated. Then, the Halberd of the Divine Warrior pushed forward and drowned everything.

“I forgot to tell you, I hate it when people coerce me.”

That was the last sentence Elder Lan heard before he died. The last thought he had before death was how stupid it was for him to provoke such a monster.

Then, the Halberd pierced through his head. His entire skull exploded.

SPLATTER!

Fresh blood spat out everywhere along with the juices of his brain. A headless corpse then collapsed onto the ground, indicating that the battle had ended, and indicating that Ling Xian was terrifying.

After this man’s skull exploded, the entire City of Sin silenced. Everyone was petrified as if under a spell.

They stared at the white silhouette in the air. There was fear, respect, and disbelief on their faces.

Only after a while did everyone regain themselves. Then, the entire City of Sin boiled.

Everyone was cheering loudly and urging on the undefeatable young man and applauding their only leader.

Their faces composed of various expressions that eventually transformed into one.

Fanaticism.

They were acting fanatical as if they had just seen a god.
