In midair, the nine-headed lion's expression was sluggish as it stared at the giant hole in its chest, unable to believe this was real.
It was the strongest descendant of the nine-headed spiritual lion kind. Its capabilities were the best of its generation. Yet before its eyes, it was defeated by Ling Xian after one move. How could it accept this?
Sadly, reality was before its eyes. It had to accept it even if it didn't want to!
"You reached the advanced stage of the completion level?"
Feeling its life force draining away, the nine-headed lion's face was full of bitterness. At this moment, it finally realized Ling Xian's terrifying capabilities and realized its own stupidity.
Three months ago, it could fight against Ling Xian face to face and it would be difficult to determine a winner in a short period of time. However, after he broke through to the advanced stage of the completion level, even though it was the best of the younger generation, there was nothing it could do.
On top of that, three months ago, it was defeated along with the other Heaven's Favorites. This alone was enough to prove that even though they were at the same level, it was no opponent of Ling Xian's.
The only difference was how hard it fought. If this was three months ago, perhaps it could injure Ling Xian. But now, the result was clear. It couldn't even defend against one move!
"Impossible, how could I be killed after one move?"
The nine-headed lion seemed to have lost its soul. It was as if it had lost its soul and all that was left of it was a shell. As for its body, it couldn't hold on for much longer.
Ling Xian's earth shattering punch not only destroyed its attack, it also crushed its heart. The reason why it was able to live until now was all because of the nine-headed spiritual lion's shocking vitality.
Or else it would've been killed in an instant.
"Nine-headed spiritual lion, die in peace." Ling Xian's expression was emotionless and without a trace of pity. This monster had been rude to him since the beginning and wanted to kill him. Of course he wasn't going to let this monster go.
Chuckling, the nine-headed spiritual lion felt its weakened body and it couldn't help but feel hopeless.
Its heart had been crushed. No matter how strong it was, there was nothing it could do. In other words, it was only a matter of time before it died.
This made it feel both fear and regret.
"If I could do it all over again, I would never have provoked this insane monster."
That was the last thought that flashed across its mind. Then, the nine-headed spiritual lion's life force completely disappeared. It fell from midair onto the ground and died.
At this, Ling Xian softly sighed. Originally, he had no intention of looking for trouble with the nine-headed spiritual lion. It was only because he coincidentally saw it trying to kill Wang Yang and Lin Ying that he decided to kill it.
However, this was also good. At the very least, he had resolved a grudge, which allowed him to relax.
After witnessing the death of the nine headed spiritual lion, Wang Yang and Lin Ying's expression was sluggish. They stared at Ling Xian in shock.
It was as if they had seen a monster.
Indeed, with his ability to kill the nine-headed spiritual lion with a single punch, he was indeed a monster in the eyes of the two.
It wasn't just the two of them. The mysterious being who fought over the Divine Book of Genesis with Ling Xian also revealed a look of awe. He couldn't help but feel fear.
Just a moment ago, it had sensed the commotion here, so it had quietly come here to take a look.
Coincidentally, it witnessed the scene of Ling Xian crushing the heart of the nine-headed spiritual lion. This shocked him. He didn't think that after merely three months, Ling Xian would become this powerful.
Because it wasn't in a stable state of mind, it accidentally revealed a sliver of its spiritual energy. Ling Xian immediately noticed it.
"Show yourself!"
Frowning, Ling Xian suddenly turned around. His eyes were as sharp as swords as he stared at the space before him.
"Don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions."
The mysterious being suddenly appeared. Its entire body was wrapped in murky air, making it impossible to tell what it really was. However, the pair of eyes that it revealed flickered with fear.
"No ill intentions?"
Ling Xian glared at it, "If you have no ill intentions, then leave this place right now. Or else don't blame me for what I will do."
Immediately, the mysterious being was infuriated. But very quickly, it sighed helplessly.
With Ling Xian's current capabilities, out of the entire younger generation in Yunzhou, nobody could be his opponent. Thus, even though it was burning with anger, it had no choice but to suppress it.
"Aye, this person is truly undefeatable. At least he is undefeatable in Yunzhou."
Sighing, the mysterious creature turned around and left without any hesitation. It was obvious that it had been stunned by Ling Xian. Or in other words, it was scared out of its wits.
Watching the mysterious being run away, Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. He wasn't surprised.
With his current strength, he could kill it in ten moves at most, and it would be as easy as blowing off dust. Therefore, why wouldn't it be scared and run away?
Although this action was somewhat embarrassing, compared to his life, what was it worth?
Seeing that the being was scared off by Ling Xian, Wang Yang and Lin Ying once again fell into a state of shock. Their brains seemed to have stopped working.
Just a single sentence was enough to make a being that looked down upon all of his peers turn around and leave. What kind of might was this?
It was unimaginable!
"Elder Ling, you are far too powerful."
Wang Yang mumbled. Thinking about how he was so much older than Ling Xian, yet their capabilities were worlds apart, he felt a little ashamed.
Lin Ying felt the same. She felt like she had lived all these years like a pig and there was no way she could compare to Ling Xian.
"Our rivalry is over. Next, we will quietly wait for the Imperishable Temple to close." Ling Xian softly grinned and floated before the two of them. He asked, "Are you alright?"
"We are fine. Thank you, Elder Ling, for helping us."
Wang Yang and Lin Ying bowed deeply towards Ling Xian. Their faces were full of appreciation.
"You are being too kind. Before we left, I had already promised the Supreme Headmaster. How could I just sit back and do nothing?" Ling Xian brandished his hand.
"Even so, we should be thanking you." Wang Yang smiled and patted his chest, "Though we are weak in capabilities, if you need us in any way, just say the word."
"We will talk about that later." Ling Xian softly grinned. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the stone monument and couldn't help but frown. It looked familiar.
Seeing this, Lin Ying understood and asked Wang Yang to hand over the stone monument to Ling Xian.
"Elder Ling, this stone monument has a very strange power. It can shock the souls of cultivators. We found it on the mountain wall," Lin Ying explained. "Elder Ling, this stone monument has a very strange power.
"An eerie power that can stun souls …"
Ling Xian frowned. Looking at the black monument with red carvings, the sense of familiarity intensified. This made him frown as he carefully searched through his memory.
Though it hasn't been a few years since he began his cultivation journey, don't forget, he experienced the lost century. There, his knowledge grew tremendously and he was comparable to the original leveled cultivators.
Therefore, he carefully searched through his memory. Only after a long while did he find information about this monument.
In the next second, Ling Xian's expression changed drastically. He stared deadly at the strange monument and his eyes flickered with shock.
"Could it really be that kind of monument?"
