"Because your life ends here."
This cold statement woke up the man who was in a trance. His body began to shake uncontrollably.
Then, without another word, he made his move and dashed into the distance.
He knew very well of Ling Xian's capabilities, and he also knew very well of his own capabilities. Therefore, he knew very well that even if there were 10 of him, he would not be Ling Xian's opponent.
Therefore, he chose to run. He didn't even have the courage to fight back.
"What a pitiful man who has lost his will to fight. If you fought face to face, even if you die, it wouldn't be embarrassing. You might even be able to keep your life."
"But you chose to run. That is the stupidest decision and the most despicable decision."
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless. Like a God, he looked down on everyone.
"If I don't run, then am I going to wait for death?" The man clenched his teeth and didn't even turn around.
He knew that this decision was very shameful, but compared to his life, what was face worth?
"Running will only make you die faster. You will lose all your dignity."
Ling Xian watched as the man disappeared from his sight, "Do you really think you can outrun the Winged Blitz?"
As soon as he spoke, he dashed forward like an arrow leaving its bow, leaving behind a series of shadows in midair. Within seconds, he arrived before the man.
Instantly, the man lost his composure and was scared out of his wits.
This was unbelievable. He was so far ahead, yet Ling Xian caught up. How terrifying was his speed?
This was godlike speed!
"I told you, before the Winged Blitz, you don't even have the right to run." Ling Xian's eyes shot out electricity. He raised his hand and punched out.
HOMMMM!
The indestructible light shone brightly, shattering the entire space. The man puked out blood and was flung out.
This made Zhong Ling Xiu's eyes widen. She didn't think the man who was so arrogant just now couldn't even defend against one attack.
Actually, the man wasn't so weak that he couldn't even defend against one punch. The reason why he was so exhausted was because he had lost his will to fight. Or in other words, he was full of fear. Fear towards Ling Xian.
This fear made him unable to use his full strength. Naturally, he found it hard to defend.
"Pathetic."
Ling Xian glared at him, "This is the result of you choosing to run."
Hearing this, the man went silent. There was unwillingness, bitterness, and fear.
Just like Ling Xian said, he chose to run away. Not only did it not give him a chance to live, it made him lose even more.
"Is this the end …" The man laughed bitterly. He didn't hold any hope.
Ignoring the fact that he had lost his will to fight, even if his will to fight was high, he wouldn't be able to defend against Ling Xian. It was like comparing the light of the moon to the light of a firefly.
"It's over. I can't let you live."
Remembering how Zi Yuan and them died, Ling Xian's eyes turned cold. Killer's intent poured out of him like a tidal wave and shot through the cloud.
"I know."
The man bitterly smiled, "But can you let me die knowing?"
"You're asking why I didn't die despite being hit by the Hundred Steps Knockout?" Ling Xian asked softly.
"Not bad, I hope you can let me die knowing." The man was unwilling to give up. He really couldn't understand why the Hundred Steps Knockout Technique was useless against Ling Xian.
Zhong Lingxiu was puzzled as well.
She perked up her ears and waited for Ling Xian to speak.
"Oh well, I will let you know why you died."
"Honestly speaking, the Hundred Steps Knockout Technique is truly terrifying. Even I am helpless against it."
"However, there is another curse inside my body."
Ling Xian softly sighed. He wasn't sure if he should hate the Curse of Heaven's Abyss or feel lucky.
Today, if it weren't for the Curse of Heaven's Abyss, he would've died for sure. From this perspective, he should feel lucky. But if it weren't for the curse, then none of this would've happened.
"You mean, another kind of curse swallowed the Hundred Steps Rewind? That's impossible. Curses can coexist. Plus, with the Hundred Steps Knockout Technique's power, which curse could consume it? "
The man denied right away. But then, he remembered something.
Instantly, his face turned fearful and his voice trembled, "Could it be … the legendary Curse of Heaven's Abyss?"
"Congratulations, you guessed right." Ling Xian bitterly smiled. Every time he thought about the Curse of Heaven's Abyss, he felt his head hurt.
"It really is!"
The man sucked in a breath of cold air. He finally understood what kind of monster the person standing in front of him was.
Zhong Lingxiu understood as well.
Not only did he survive Heaven's Abyss, but he was also affected by the Black Tortoise Continent's most terrifying curse. Yet he was still alive and kicking. How heaven-defying was this?
"No wonder. No wonder the Hundred Steps Knockout Technique didn't work on you."
The man chuckled. The Curse of Heaven's Abyss was something even the undefeatable God Kings couldn't handle. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that before it, the Hundred Steps Knockout Technique didn't even deserve to carry its shoes.
At this moment, he finally understood why Ling Xian was laughing. Because he was the biggest joke in the world.
To use a curse before the overbearing Curse of Heaven's Abyss was no different than playing with a knife before Guan Yu.
"Now that my questions have been answered, it's time for you to go." Ling Xian erased his smile and turned cold.
This made the man shudder. Other than unwillingness, he felt fear.
However, there was nothing he could do. In the end, he could only close his eyes in despair.
Against a monster like Ling Xian, even escaping was an extravagant hope for him, let alone resisting.
"Go on your way. I will use your blood to comfort the souls of Zi Yuan and the others."
Ling Xian's eyes flickered. The Sword of Extinction sliced across the sky. As it pierced between the man's brows, it also destroyed his soul.
Bang!
The body landed on the ground and fresh blood splattered everywhere. The man's soul was destroyed and he was completely dead.
This made Zhong Lingxiu smile. Her hatred and shadow finally disappeared at this moment.
Ling Xian's anger dissipated as well. What replaced it was urgency.
This was all because after consuming the Hundred Steps Knockout Technique, the Curse of Heaven's Abyss strengthened. This meant his lifespan will be greatly reduced. He won't even be able to last another 20 years.
"The only thing I can do now is to break through as soon as possible. Or else even if I consume more longevity treasures, I won't be able to last more than a few years."
Ling Xian softly sighed. All longevity treasures are resistant. No matter how many he consumes, it won't be as effective as one breakthrough.
After all, he was already a sixth level cultivator. If he breaks through again, his lifespan will increase by 500 years!
Then, Ling Xian shifted his gaze towards Zhong Lingxiu with high expectations.
Breaking through was merely a temporary solution. The root of the problem was still to get the recipe. Though this was very unlikely, it was without a doubt, his only hope right now.
Therefore, he had high expectations of meeting the core members of the Moonlight Mercenaries through Zhong Lingxiu.
"Let's see what treasures this person has. After all, he just plundered a ruin." The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. The anticipation in his eyes intensified.
Then, he waved his hand and the green and white storage pouch left the man's waist and landed in his hand.
"Not a bad storage pouch."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. Spiritual energy that was infinitely close to the seventh level poured out of him and instantly crushed the seal on the storage pouch.
Then, his smile grew even more intense.
All because the storage pouch was filled with treasures. All of them were extraordinary.
Even with Ling Xian's experience, he felt like it was not bad.
Therefore, he looked at them one by one in search of treasures that could tempt him.
