Inside the dimly lit grand hall, Lin Fan was full of anger and wanted to cry.
He clenched his teeth and glared at Ling Xian, "Friend, you have pushed me too far!"
"I am sorry. I had no other choice."
Ling Xian softly sighed. Lin Fan had lost the ability to fight and was no longer a threat. This, without a doubt, reduced the pressure on Ling Xian.
If he could defeat one more person, then the ball of light would be his.
"Are you not going to explain yourself …" Lin Fan's teeth were itching.
"Do you see that ball of light?" Ling Xian pointed at the end of the stairs and told him everything that happened.
This first shocked Lin Fan, then he became excited, and finally, he felt bitter.
He had already been defeated by Ling Xian. Even though the Art of Eternity was heaven-defying, it had nothing to do with him. Naturally, he felt bitter.
"So this is the reason you suppressed me." Lin Fan's face was full of tears.
"I am sorry. If you had teamed up with the other two, then I would be the one being suppressed."
Ling Xian sighed, "To walk on the path of the Art of Eternity, I cannot take the risk."
"You cannot take the risk and beat me up …" Lin Fan was about to cry. If he was in Lin Fan's shoes, he would've made the same decision as Ling Xian.
But understanding doesn't mean accepting. After being beaten up by Ling Xian for no reason, it would be strange if he could accept it.
"I am sorry. If you need it, I can compensate you." Ling Xian was apologetic. He knew that Lin Fan was wronged, but for the Art of Eternity, he had to do this.
"You want to buy me over with some compensation? In your dreams!"
Lin Fan's teeth were itching, "I hope you get suppressed by the next person and all your efforts are for nothing!"
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled.
Lin Fan had been suppressed. Even if the other two showed up at the same time, he wouldn't be afraid.
"Be quiet. After I melt the ball of light, I will let you go." Ling Xian softly grinned and waved his hand. Runes appeared and arrays appeared.
Immediately, runes formed into a mysterious inhibition spell that locked down Lin Fan's body and prevented him from moving. If he was at his prime, no matter how strong the inhibition spell was, it wouldn't be able to seal him. However, right now, he was heavily injured. With Ling Xian's mastery of arrays, it was easy for him to imprison him.
"You!" Lin Fan was extremely indignant, but there was nothing he could do.
He finally understood that he had no other choice but to obey.
"Alright, be patient." Ling Xian softly smiled. He then closed his eyes and waited for the second person.
A moment later, he opened his eyes and stood up.
It was because a second person appeared. He wore black clothes, and a vicious aura pervaded the air. Killing intent overflowed into the heavens.
Be it in terms of foundation or cultivation, this person was the same as Lin Fan. The only difference was that Lin Fan's temperament was gentle while this person's killing intent was overwhelming.
"After suppressing you, the ball of light will be mine."
Chuckling, Ling Xian used his strongest stance. Like the awakening of a killer, he shocked all nine levels of heaven and all 10 levels of hell!
This caused the black-clothed man's expression to change, but he did not panic.
He attacked calmly, and in an instant, he unleashed three supreme divine abilities.
Boom!
The murderous aura filled the sky and the godly might shook the world. The three great techniques complemented each other. Even though it wasn't a true fusion, it still made them stronger.
However, before Ling Xian, it wasn't enough.
He had taken out his strongest stance. Even if it was a peerless Heaven's Favorite with the same foundation as him, he would be suppressed for a while, let alone someone who was a bit weaker than him.
HOMMM!
The Immortal Bone lit up the nine heavens and the Disorder Conquering Fists shook the world. In an instant, the three techniques of the black-clothed man crumbled.
Then, this person was suppressed by Ling Xian.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not turn the situation around and gain the upper hand.
This made Lin Fan shake his head and smile bitterly. He knew that his defeat wasn't undeserved. Even though he was prepared, he was no opponent of Ling Xian's.
"Die!"
The black-clothed man shouted angrily. The murderous aura solidified into a bloody spear. It was sharp enough to split open the sky and was also eerie enough to stun people's souls.
However, it was completely useless.
Ling Xian's heart was as hard as steel and was unwavering. Even the purple energy before the palace couldn't do anything to him, so how could murderous aura affect him?
His Disorder Conquering Fists crazily danced and swallowed the mountains and rivers. After merely three punches, the bloody spear was crushed.
Retch!
After puking out a mouthful of fresh blood, the black-clothed man stumbled back and couldn't even stand straight.
Ling Xian was far too aggressive. Under the circumstance that he was in his strongest state, even those with the same foundation as him would have to retreat.
"Dammit!"
The black-clothed man's hair was standing on end. He raised his hand and six different techniques manifested. They split open the sky and cracked open the earth.
What was even more shocking was that as the six techniques manifested, his Qi increased exponentially. It increased by more than 10 times!
"Interesting."
Ling Xian's eyes froze. The Qi of the Rising Sun entered his body. The three types of energy combined and made him look like the God of Heaven had awakened.
HOMMM!
After an earth-shattering rumble, the shockwave shattered the void. Lin Fan's face turned white and his blood boiled.
If Ling Xian didn't protect him, with his heavily injured state, even if he didn't die, he would be crippled.
"Who did I offend …" Lin Fan was about to cry.
The black-clothed man was the same.
He was puking out blood and was shaking unsteadily. It was obvious that he had lost the ability to fight.
Ling Xian, on the other hand, was unharmed. This alone was enough to prove just how capable he was. He was not someone the black-clothed man could defeat.
"So strong …" The black-clothed man stared deadly at Ling Xian. There was unwillingness and bitterness.
"You aren't bad yourself." Ling Xian spoke softly. He raised his hand and arrays appeared. Runes appeared and formed into a mysterious inhibition spell.
"Are you complimenting me or mocking me?" The black-clothed man bitterly smiled. If he wasn't bad, why wouldn't he be able to defeat Ling Xian?
"That's not important. What's important is that I have to make you lose your ability to fight."
Ling Xian pointed at the black-clothed man. The inhibition spell howled and locked him down.
"I am not as skilled as you. I have nothing to say. However, I want a reason." The black-clothed man stared at Ling Xian.
"He will tell you." Ling Xian smiled and relaxed.
Out of the three competitors, he had already defeated two. Ignoring the fact that the last one was weaker than him, even if the last one was of the same cultivation level as him, he was confident he could defeat him.
"You are mine."
Staring at the ball of light at the end of the stairs, Ling Xian softly grinned. He gently sent the black-clothed man to Lin Fan's side. Then, he closed his eyes and waited for the third person.
"Let me explain it to you."
Looking at the questioning gaze of the black-clothed man, Lin Fan exclaimed. His mood suddenly improved a little.
If he was the only one who was beaten up for no reason, he wouldn't be able to accept it. But if someone else was the same as him, it would be easier to accept.
With that, Lin Fan briefly explained the sequence of events that had transpired.
"I see."
The black-clothed man bitterly smiled. The way he looked at Ling Xian was complex, "Do you think he can embark on the Path of the Endless Technique?"
"Of course I don't want him to get the ball of light. But I have to admit, he is very strong. The last person will have a hard time winning against him." Lin Fan bitterly smiled.
"The gap between us is huge. If he embarks on the Path of the Endless Technique, it will be even harder to catch up." The black-clothed man sighed and didn't speak anymore.
At once, the grand hall silenced.
Like an old monk, Ling Xian closed his eyes and didn't move. Only when the third person appeared did he open his eyes.
Then, he was a little startled.
