"You don't even want to think about it …"
The elder's gaze froze. He didn't think Ling Xian would reject him without even thinking about it.
The man in gold and them were surprised as well.
But to them, this was a good thing.
Ling Xian was their only hope. If he stood on the elder's side, then they would truly have no hope.
"I suggest you think this through. Even if you don't want to live forever, you shouldn't be my enemy."
The elder looked at Ling Xian and said, "If our identities were reversed, I would only need one day to break the array of the Taichu Sect."
"Are you threatening me?" Ling Xian asked softly. The elder was trying to say that Ling Xian's array skills were better than his.
This was something he already knew the moment he saw the array.
"You can interpret it that way. I suggest you believe me and not question me." The elder said softly, "Remember that 20,000 years ago, I became an array grandmaster."
"I believe you." Ling Xian softly sighed. Though he was one of the best out of the array grandmasters, the elder was better than him.
After all, the elder had lived for more than 20,000 years while Ling Xian was less than 200.
"Not only am I better than you in array skills, I also have thousands of heavenly arrays. You have no chance of winning against me." The elder glared at Ling Xian.
"My chance of winning is not high."
Ling Xian sighed. It was fine that the elder was better than him, but the most troublesome thing was that the elder had thousands of heavenly arrays that could both attack and defend.
Though at the grandmaster level, one could create arrays with the wave of a hand, they were not high leveled arrays. To set up a heavenly array required at least some time.
Ignoring the fact that the elder wouldn't give him any time, even if he did, he could not defend against thousands of heavenly arrays.
"Wrong, I have no chance of winning."
The elder smiled, "I am giving you two choices. One is to die, two is to become my servant. Choose one."
"Just like you said to the Supreme Headmaster, you didn't give me the right to choose." Ling Xian said softly, "What I am best at is defeating the strong as the weak."
"Haha. Defeating the strong as the weak. "The elder laughed out loud and didn't even try to hide his sarcasm.
"I sure want to see how someone like you, who has no time to set up arrays and is weaker than me, can defeat the strong."
"Let's fight."
Ling Xian's gaze was deep. Ever since he started cultivating, he has never fought against an array. He didn't think he would encounter such a powerful opponent.
The elder was far too terrifying. Ignoring how great his array skills were, the thousands of heavenly arrays alone were enough to crush him.
Yes, it was a crushing defeat.
That was thousands of heavenly arrays that could both attack and defend. Without enough time to set them up, how could Ling Xian defend?
Fortunately, the thousands of divine formations only had runes. If they were complete divine formations, there would be no need to fight at all.
"I'll ask you one last time. Do you choose death, or do you choose to submit?"
The elder stared down at Ling Xian condescendingly. Thousands of heavenly arrays circled around him. His demeanor was so imposing that one couldn't look at him directly.
"I told you, you didn't give me the right to choose." Ling Xian squinted his eyes and coldness flickered.
With his pride, he would never succumb to the old man. Even if he died, he would die standing!
"Then I can only send you on your way." The elder's expression became cold. The divine formation shone like a blazing sun.
Seeing this, Ling Xian formed an array with his hand and his swords flew everywhere.
It was the array he created, the Sword Array.
This array could be used for both offense and defense. It was extraordinary. The moment it appeared, swords split open the sky and revealed their sharpness.
"Child's play." The elder spoke coldly. An infinite amount of heavenly light engulfed him. In an instant, the sword array was broken.
It was far too powerful. Even if there were 1,000 sword arrays, they wouldn't be able to stop it.
This made the man in gold and the others sigh. Ling Xian sighed as well.
If he had more time, he had the confidence to fight against the elder. After all, he had Feng Qing Ming's inheritance and knew too many powerful arrays.
Even if his array skills weren't as good as the elder's, he wouldn't necessarily lose in a battle of arrays.
Sadly, the elder wasn't going to give him time.
All Ling Xian could do was fight for time. As he defended, he set up arrays.
"An array grandmaster who's not even 200 years old. Just thinking about it makes me feel unbelievable."
"Even I have to admit that your potential is above mine. At most, in 100 years, you will surpass me."
"Sadly, your cultivation time is far too short. The you right now has no chance of winning."
The elder spoke softly. His Qi rolled out in all directions, making Ling Xian bleed from the corner of his mouth.
"Ling Xian!" The man in gold's expression changed. There was guilt and helplessness.
The grey-haired elder and those from the Taichu House reacted the same way.
Ling Xian could've stayed out of this, but they dragged him into this mess. How could they not feel guilty?
"It's okay. He can't kill me in a short period of time." Ling Xian's eyes were dark. He raised his hand and array patterns appeared, turning into arrays that defended against the heavenly array.
At the same time, he took out many heavenly materials and planned on setting up a heavenly array that could defend against the elder.
This was his only chance. If he succeeds, then he can break out of this situation. If he fails, then he will die here.
"Is that all you have?" The elder mocked. Like a cat playing with a mouse, he was playing with Ling Xian.
Ling Xian was unfazed by this.
It was better that the elder was playing with him. That way, he would have a chance to turn the tables.
HOMMM!
The heavenly light shot through the cloud and shocked the world. The thousands of heavenly arrays made Ling Xian puke out blood and a few of his bones broke.
This was far too powerful. This was Ling Xian. Anyone else would've turned into dust. "Haha, too weak. You can't even withstand one attack." The elder laughed out loud. Victory was within his grasp.
Because he had also lost his physique and Qi, he didn't notice Ling Xian's little trick.
"Dammit! You are relying on the arrays you have already set up. What kind of ability is that? "
The golden-robed man was enraged, and he said, "Give Young Friend Ling some time if you dare!"
"That's right. You have an unfair advantage!" the elder in white shouted.
"I have an unfair advantage. There is no such thing as absolute fairness in this world. If I give him the time to set up an array, then I would be an idiot."
The elder teased. The heavenly array's power was earth-shattering. In an instant, the man in gold and them all puked out blood.
This was even after Ling Xian made a move. If he didn't, they would've died.
Without the physique and Qi, they were no different than mortals. How could they defend against the heavenly array?
"You can't even protect yourself and you still have the time to care about others?" The elder glared at Ling Xian, "I admire your talent and wanted to give you a way out. Pity though, you don't know what's good for you."
"You didn't give me a way out, you gave me a path of humiliation."
"I, Ling Xian, am a proud man. How can I be a slave and be manipulated by you?"
Ling Xian's eyes shot out electricity. An infinite amount of array patterns materialized and turned into many arrays. They attacked and defended as they headed towards the elder.
At the same time, he was secretly setting up arrays and waiting for a chance to turn the tables.
"Well said!"
The man in gold's blood was boiling, "Ling Xian, if I am lucky enough to survive, I will drink with you until we're drunk!"
"You aren't that lucky."
The elder glared at the man in gold, "Wait until I take care of him, then I will send you on your way."
At those words, thousands of arrays began to shine and destroyed Ling Xian's array.
