The half moon hung high in the sky and the night was cold like water.
Zhao Shikong's face was pale white and his soul was exhausted. He was extremely weak.
However, his anger was burning to the extreme.
As a powerhouse of the intermediate stage of the ninth level and a Heaven's Favorite who could compete against the strongest descendant of the Zhao Clan, he was tricked by a cultivator of the eighth level to the point of death. This was without a doubt, a huge humiliation!
"I cannot believe I was tricked by an ant."
Zhao Shikong's expression was heavy. He didn't ask why, because it was no longer important. Between him and Ling Xian, only one of them could live.
Therefore, he used every second he had to heal himself.
However, it was useless.
The energy of death was not easy to get rid of. Once it enters the body, it sticks to the bones and cannot be erased in a short period of time.
"Don't waste your energy. The energy of death has already invaded your organs. If you want to heal yourself, you can do it in your next life."
Ling Xian glared at Zhao Shikong. The reason why he showed up was because he had to do this. For two, Zhao Shikong could not heal himself and could only face him in a dying state.
"I admire your courage and I admire your determination. But you are far too stupid."
"Even though a real dragon is dying, it is not something a little snake can defeat."
Zhao Shikong's gaze was cold. He knew that he had to kill Ling Xian in order to survive.
To him, this wasn't a difficult task.
Though his life was hanging by a thread, he was a cultivator of the intermediate stage of the ninth level after all. Killing Ling Xian was a piece of cake.
"That is true. However, I have no plans on fighting you face to face."
"The you right now can at most attack three times. If I can stop them, you will die for sure."
Ling Xian's gaze was deep. He never did things he wasn't confident in. Though he wasn't 100% confident, he was at least 70% confident.
"Hahaha, you overestimate yourself and underestimate me."
Zhao Shikong laughed out loud, "Even if I can only attack once, it is not something you can defend against."
"Try it. You and I both know that only one of us can leave here alive."
"If you don't want to die, then give it your all."
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless. His white robe fluttered in the wind and he looked like an immortal.
"I don't need you to teach me."
Zhao Shikong snickered, "I will make you understand the consequences of plotting against a cultivator of the ninth level!"
As soon as his voice trailed off, his palm began to emit light. A mysterious force engulfed the entire place, making it hard for Ling Xian to move.
"Very smart."
Ling Xian squinted his eyes. Zhao Shikong only had a few chances to attack. If he failed, then surviving would be a luxury.
Therefore, Zhao Shikong used his technique to immobilize Ling Xian.
"You guessed correctly. I only have three chances to attack. However, since you can only defend yourself, one move is enough to send you on your way."
Zhao Shikong laughed. There was mockery, but there was also relief.
To him, Ling Xian was only at the beginning stage of the Transcendent Realm. No matter how strong he was, there was no way Ling Xian could block his attack.
"You overestimate yourself and underestimate me." Ling Xian softly grinned and dispersed the Heaven and Earth Changing Technique.
In an instant, godly might filled the air.
This caused Zhao Shikong's pupils to constrict, and he was rather shocked.
For one, Ling Xian's foundation was frighteningly deep. Even in the entire City of Zhi Ge, there weren't many like him.
For two, he didn't think Ling Xian's technique would be so mysterious that it could hide from his senses.
"It is impossible for me to block two of your attacks. But I am confident that I can survive two of your attacks."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. His physique was powerful and he had majestic ancient blood. His vitality was insanely strong.
If Zhao Shikong was at his peak, he could kill Ling Xian with one move. However, Zhao Shikong was heavily injured and his capabilities were greatly reduced.
With his terrifying vitality, it wasn't impossible for him to survive two moves.
"I will make you understand the difference between the moon and the firefly."
Zhao Shikong coldly snickered. He slammed down his palm and the silhouette of the Demon God appeared. The Demon God's Qi swallowed mountains and rivers.
This made Ling Xian's expression turn serious. The Flower of Dao appeared and the Armor of the Royal Demon appeared.
Instantly, heavenly light shot through the cloud. The two shocking techniques protected Ling Xian as he defended against the Demon God's Palm of Destruction.
BOOOM!
After an earth-shattering rumble, the mountain peak exploded. All the mountains around it cracked as well.
Zhao Shikong was far too powerful. Even though he was heavily injured, under his full strength, he still exploded with earth-shattering power.
Even though Ling Xian used the Armor of the Royal Demon and the Flower of Dao, more than half of his bones were broken.
However, he didn't die. His back was straight and he stood like a mountain.
"Ehem, ehem, no wonder you are a Heaven's Favorite of the ninth level. You sure are powerful." Ling Xian puked out blood. His face was pale white and he was sweating profusely.
The pain of having more than half of his bones broken was not something normal people could handle. For him to be able to endure it meant that his heart was as hard as steel.
"I underestimated you." Zhao Shikong's expression was dark and his breathing was thunderous.
It was obvious that this attack cost him a lot of spiritual energy.
"I told you, I am confident that I can survive two of your attacks."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. Though his white robe was dyed with blood, his elegance did not diminish.
"You spoke too early. Don't forget, I still have one more chance."
Zhao Shikong coldly snickered. Using his finger like a sword, a real dragon and phoenix appeared. The sword's sharpness was enough to split open the sky.
The sword's sharpness expanded. Though it didn't touch Ling Xian, Ling Xian's body was already splitting open. Fresh blood splattered everywhere.
This was far too terrifying. It was definitely a supreme sword technique that could split open the sky.
"This sword will send you on your way."
Zhao Shikong's eyes shot out electricity. The real dragon and phoenix split open the sky. Their ferocity was unparalleled and terrifying.
Ling Xian's expression was heavy. The Armor of the Royal Demon and the Flower of Dao reappeared. At the same time, he unleashed many techniques to defend against the sword's light.
The Immortal Bone, the Emperor's Fists, and the Heavenly Hand. Without exception, they were all earth-shattering techniques.
HOMMM!
The sword's light was undefeatable and instantly destroyed all of Ling Xian's techniques. However, its power was reduced by 30 percent.
In the next second, the Armor of the Royal Demon and the Flower of Dao shattered. Ling Xian puked out blood.
This was only the beginning.
The sword's energy ravaged Ling Xian's organs. In an instant, he was riddled with holes and his bones were all broken.
However, he didn't die. Using his strong vitality, he held on until the sword's energy dissipated.
This made Zhao Shikong's expression change. He didn't think Ling Xian would have so many heavenly techniques. He really didn't think he would survive.
"Ehem, ehem, now, it's my turn."
Looking at the weak and exhausted Zhao Shikong, Ling Xian smiled. His finger was like a sword that could swallow the mountains and rivers.
It was the Heaven Stealing Heavenly Hand.
"I didn't expect you to actually possess so many supreme techniques …."
Zhao Shikong stared at Ling Xian. There was shock and greed in his eyes.
He has seen countless techniques in his life. Ignoring everything else, his Zhao Clan's techniques alone were shocking enough.
However, none of them could compare to Ling Xian's techniques.
Though he didn't want to admit it, it was the truth. The Heaven's Fists that Ling Xian displayed was the strongest technique he has ever seen in his life!
"Sadly, though your techniques are good, your capabilities are weak." Zhao Shikong laughed. He didn't even try to hide his sarcasm and arrogance.
This made Ling Xian frown. He wasn't sure if Zhao Shikong was pretending to be calm or if he was truly confident.
"Young man, you have been tricked."
Zhao Shikong's smile didn't diminish. "I still have one more chance to send you on your way."
