Inside the forest, Zhan Ge's expression was sluggish. He didn't think Ling Xian would be this powerful.
The elder in black was also in a state of shock and fear.
He was a near Taoist powerhouse. Only two types of people could easily destroy his attack. One was undefeatable powerhouses, and the other was a Heaven's Favorite with a flawless foundation.
No matter which one, he couldn't afford to provoke them!
"Who are you? With your capabilities, you wouldn't be unknown. "The elder in black's expression was ugly and he wanted to retreat.
He had realized how powerful Ling Xian was and how he could not fight against him. If he doesn't leave, only death awaits him.
"Who I am is not important. What's important is that you have lost."
Ling Xian glared at the elder in black and then shifted his gaze to Zhan Ge, "Do you need me to send him on his way?"
Hearing this, the elder in black's expression changed, "Sir, I am an elder of the Battle Kind. Though you are powerful, you are not undefeatable."
"You dare to threaten me when you are at death's door?"
Ling Xian's expression was cold. He has offended far too many undefeatable powerhouses. Even if there were 10 more, he wouldn't care.
"I am not threatening you, I am warning you."
The elder in black's expression was heavy like water, "It is not a smart move to be an enemy of the Battle Kind."
"I don't care."
Ling Xian's expression was calm as he stared at the wounded Zhan Ge, "Should I kill him or let him go?"
"Kill!" Zhan Ge gritted his teeth. The elder in black slaughtered the Clan Leader's descendants. Why wouldn't he hate him?
"Alright."
Ling Xian's expression turned cold. The Axe of Splitting Heaven appeared out of nowhere. Its prowess shocked thousands of worlds and swept across all directions.
"No!"
The elder in black lost his composure, "Zhan Ge, I am your third uncle. You cannot kill me!"
"I don't have an uncle like you!"
Zhan Ge's hair was standing on his head, "The moment you ignored our blood ties and slaughtered my descendants, you were no longer my uncle. You were my mortal enemy!"
"I …" The elder in black was speechless. He was the one who was heartless and had no right to blame Zhan Ge for being unjust.
"It's about time. You should be on your way."
Ling Xian's eyes were cold. The Axe of Splitting Heaven descended. Like an immortal's weapon, it was undefeatable and undefeatable.
The black-robed old man was horrified. He used his secret treasures and divine abilities to resist with all his might.
Unfortunately, he couldn't block it.
The Heaven Splitting Divine Axe was so sharp that it easily broke through the black-robed old man's secret treasure like it was cutting tofu.
Puff!
A mouthful of blood sprayed out. The old man's body was torn apart, and his soul was on the verge of dissipating.
What could he do? The gap between them was too wide. Ling Xian could kill the Elder in black effortlessly.
"No! You can't kill me! "
"My second brother is already a deity. If you dare to kill me, he will never let you go!"
The black-clothed old man's entire body trembled in horror.
There was no way he wouldn't be afraid. Ling Xian was far too terrifying. He didn't even have the strength to fight back!
"I said, I don't care."
Ling Xian's expression was cold. The Cauldron of Mountain and River descended and an infinite amount of heavenly light engulfed the sky and ground, crushing the elder in black into pieces.
Blood rained down, his body and soul were both destroyed. The black-robed old man died. Even if the Undying Immortal King came, he wouldn't be able to revive him.
"It ended just like that..." Zhan Ge was dumbfounded. He didn't expect the battle to end so quickly.
This was far too hard to believe. In the blink of an eye, Ling Xian had killed a cultivator close to the Dao. This was easier than drinking water!
"Killing cultivators close to the Dao is like killing pigs and dogs …"
Zhan Ge's heart was in turmoil. It wasn't that he hasn't met powerhouses before. It was just that this was the first time he's met someone who could defeat a cultivator close to the Dao.
Therefore, the way he looked at Ling Xian was full of gratitude and respect.
"Don't look at me with respect, and there is no need to thank me." Ling Xian softly smiled. Zhan Ge was one of the few good friends he had. He didn't want their friendship to fade because of his capabilities.
"The legendary unblemished foundation. How can I not respect you?"
"Senior, you saved my life. You have given me a new lease on life. How can I not thank you?"
Zhan Ge bowed deeply towards Ling Xian, "I will remember this kindness and I will never forget it."
"There is no need to thank me between us." Ling Xian softly grinned and removed his disguise.
"Ling Xian?!" Zhan Ge lost his voice and his eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets.
Not even in his dreams did he think that the elder with nine undefeatable realms and the one who defeated the elder in black would be his best friend, Ling Xian!
"Are you surprised?" Ling Xian softly smiled. Like an immortal, his white robe fluttered in the wind.
"I am not surprised, I am shocked."
"I cannot believe that after so many years, your foundation is now complete. Even those close to the Dao are no opponent of yours. No, they have no right to fight against you."
Zhan Ge shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was wondering why Ling Xian was willing to offend the Battle Kind to save his life and asked if he wanted to send the elder in black on his way.
Now he understood. The senior he thought was a friend who had been through thick and thin with him.
"Luckily, my foundation is complete and I now have the capability to defeat those close to the Dao." Ling Xian softly smiled. A speck of spiritual light appeared and surrounded Zhan Ge.
Instantly, Zhan Ge's wounds healed at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, he was almost healed.
"He didn't defeat them, he crushed them."
"Killing those close to the Dao is as easy as eating or drinking. How insanely powerful."
Zhan Ge exclaimed, "I thought I could catch up to you. But it seems like I have no hope of doing so in this lifetime."
"You are not a beauty, don't chase after me." Ling Xian teased.
Zhan Ge was a little startled at this. Then, he laughed out loud. His respect for Ling Xian disappeared and he was no longer being reserved.
Ling Xian's joke made him realize that Ling Xian hasn't changed. He was still the friend he drank 300 cups of wine with back then.
"Sadly, I don't have any wine. Or else I would get drunk with you." Zhan Ge sighed.
"I have wine and you have a story." Ling Xian softly grinned. He wanted to know what happened to the Zhan Clan and why Zhan Ge was being hunted.
He flapped around his sleeve and two pots of wine appeared.
The aroma of the wine filled the air and intoxicated everyone. Zhan Ge bitterly smiled, "This wine is good wine. Sadly, I only have a sad story."
"Telling me will make me feel better." Ling Xian softly sighed. Based on the conversation between the elder in black and Zhan Ge, he could roughly guess what happened.
The Zhan Clan ancestor had fallen. The Clan Leader, who was supposed to inherit the Origin of Divinity, was assassinated. The Clan Leader's bloodline was also wiped out.
"Half a month ago, the ancestor died of old age. Big brother went to the small world to inherit the Origin of Divinity. In the end, he was killed by the Clan Leader."
"Everyone in the Clan Leader's bloodline died as well. Because I wasn't with the Clan, I luckily escaped."
"You saw what happened next. I was chased by that bastard. Luckily, I met you. Or else my soul would've dissipated."
Zhan Ge sighed. It was hard to hide his sadness and hard to hide his bone-deep hatred.
"Though Immortals cannot live forever, they have a lifespan of 30,000 years."
"If I remember correctly, the Zhan Clan ancestor entered the Immortal Realm a few hundred years ago through a ritual. Why did he die of old age?"
Ling Xian frowned, confused.
Immortals can live for 30,000 years. With the help of treasures, they can live for at least 40,000 years. How could they die after a few hundred years?
"Because he entered the Immortal Realm through a ritual, he could only live for a few hundred years."
Zhan Ge sighed and said, "Even with the legendary life-prolonging treasure, Forefather can't live a moment longer."
