The Sun was scorching, and the sky was clear.
At the front door of the Trade Convention, more than 10 foundational cultivators were chasing after Ling Xian. Only the leader of the City of Yun Xiao remained. His expression was dark, no longer as calm as he usually was.
"He hurt me the moment he made a move."
The leader of the city stared at the direction Ling Xian disappeared in. His eyes were flickering with complex emotions. There was a trace of unwillingness and a trace of disappointment.
That mouthful of blood did not stain his chest, nor did it stain his white robe. However, it stained his belief.
As a cultivator at the peak of the foundational level, he had always been confident in himself. He believed that even if he did not break through to the foundational level from the tenth level, after all these years of training, he would not be any weaker than a Heaven's Favorite.
Only now did he realize how big of a gap there was between them. Without great fortune, there was no way to make up for it.
His cultivation level was a level higher than Ling Xian's, yet he was injured by Ling Xian. This result was enough to explain a lot.
"Phew … what a powerful young man. Only a Heaven's Favorite of the same level can defeat him." The leader of the city sighed. His heart was full of defeat. But very quickly, he calmed himself down and shot a signal to the sky. Then, he dashed towards Ling Xian's direction.
"No matter how talented you are, you will still die."
...
In the middle of the city stood a portal. All cultivators needed to do was step in and pay enough spiritual stones. Then, they would be transported to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty.
Ling Xian held onto the Halberd of the Divine Warrior and the Winged Blitz on his back. Holding onto Lin Qing Yi's waist, they dashed towards this place.
Behind him, 13 foundational cultivators were hot on his heels. Their cold killer's intent was locked onto Ling Xian.
In reality, they were terrified of Ling Xian. But because of their orders, they had no choice but to give it their all. If they couldn't accomplish their mission, they would die anyway. They might as well die by Ling Xian's hand. That way, their superiors would treat their families well.
"You can't escape. Die!"
The man in purple shouted. The sword in his hand emitted thousands of rays of light!
"You can't stop me."
Ling Xian's expression was calm. He swung the Halberd of the Divine Warrior, and a terrifying amount of Qi dispersed. Then, he said to Lin Qing Yi, "When we arrive, quickly enter the portal. Don't worry about me, understand?"
"But …"
Lin Qing Yi frowned. She wanted to say something else, but Ling Xian cut her off. "No buts, you must go first. If we go in together, these people will definitely attack the teleportation array. When that happens, there will be space turbulence. Neither of us will be able to escape. Only you go in alone, and I will defend from the outside. Only then will we have a chance to escape."
"This …"
Lin Qing Yi gritted her teeth, "Fine, but you have to promise me, you must survive."
"Don't worry, I won't die so easily before I get my hands on the Wood of the Warming Soul. Let's meet again in the Imperial Capital." Ling Xian flashed a toothy grin. His confident and warm smile dazzled Lin Qing Yi. She relaxed a little.
"As long as you are safe, I will naturally be safe as well."
Ling Xian stared deeply at the beauty in his arms. Then, he flapped his wings and turned into a flash of light. His speed shocked the pursuers behind him.
Luckily, the teleportation array in the center of the city was already filled with their people, including the city gate. Therefore, they were not worried about Ling Xian escaping.
As expected, when Ling Xian arrived at the teleportation array, his heart dropped.
There, seven foundational powerhouses surrounded a giant pillar of light. The pillar was as heavy as Mount Tai, exuding a dominating amount of energy.
"Dammit, the enemies have been waiting here for a long time." Lin Qing Yi's expression changed.
Ling Xian frowned as well. Slowly descending from the sky, he glanced at the seven foundational cultivators before him and the pursuers behind him. He couldn't help but to laugh bitterly, "There are wolves in front and tigers behind. It looks like I have to fight for my life."
"Haha, young man, the leader of the City of Yun Xiao predicted that you would escape and use the teleportation array to escape. Let's see where you can run to now!" The man in black laughed wildly. His voice was full of satisfaction.
Everyone else also revealed a relaxed smile. To them, Ling Xian had nowhere to go. He had become a turtle trapped in a jar.
Whooosh!
The sound of the wind piercing arose. The leader of the City of Yun Xiao caught up. His white robe fluttered in the wind, displaying his extraordinary temperament.
Following closely, the subordinates of Deputy Chang An and Deputy Xiao Yao arrived one after another. Descending from midair, a cold wave of killer's intent rolled out of them and shook the ground.
Around the teleportation array, the seven foundational cultivators were ready for battle. Waves of Qi seeped out of their bodies and connected with the fourteen foundational cultivators, forming a magnetic field that surrounded Ling Xian and made it impossible for him to escape.
At this moment, the giant Sun hung high in the sky, shedding down warm light.
However, the long street was filled with killing intent. Unlike the usual hustle and bustle, the cold killer's intent sent shivers down the citizens' spines.
"Oh my god, 21 foundational cultivators. What's going on? Why are all these important figures making a move? "
"Look, that young man in black looks familiar. He's the one who killed the Third Prince a few days ago!"
"That's right. I saw his wanted poster yesterday. He looks exactly the same as this young man!"
"No wonder. He's dead for sure. 21 foundational cultivators are making a move. With this amount of power, they can easily wipe out an entire city!"
The crowd was in an uproar. Nobody had high hopes for Ling Xian and thought he was dead for sure.
21 foundational cultivators!
Such a terrifying amount of power was enough to wipe out an entire city!
Including the four foundational cultivators who died before, that made a total of 25 foundational cultivators. One has to admit, this was an honor.
In order to capture and kill Ling Xian, the three forces mobilized their forces and sent out a force strong enough to slaughter the entire city. This indirectly showed how powerful Ling Xian was. Only by sending out this many foundational powerhouses could the leaders of the three forces have the confidence to kill him!
"This is … a battle array?"
Sensing the connection between these people's spiritual energy, Ling Xian frowned. His eyes were full of shock.
"You have good eyes. This is one of the battle arrays of the Zhou Dynasty." The leader of the City of Yun Xiao stood there calmly. His face was expressionless, but there was a hint of arrogance in his voice. "Since you know this is a battle array, then you should know how powerful it is. Even a cultivator of the ninth realm can trap you, let alone 21 foundational cultivators working together."
"That's right. A battle array allows us to connect our breaths to each other and unleash greater capabilities. With 21 foundational cultivators using it, killing a normal foundational cultivator is not difficult." Ling Xian nodded softly. Then, the corner of his lips curled up and he made an extremely arrogant statement.
"Sadly, I am not a normal foundational cultivator. This array cannot trap me."
The leader's face darkened. "Why don't you try."
"As you wish."
Ling Xian stepped forward. His black hair danced in the wind. He was arrogant!
In the next moment, Yin and Yang energy began to swirl. A nine-colored heavenly light poured out. This was a sign that the Eyes of Execution had reached its peak!
The Sword of Extinction, the Armor of the Royal Spirits, the Halberd of the Divine Warrior, and the Winged Blitz. Four heavenly weapons appeared and revealed their sharpness!
The situation was urgent. All Ling Xian wanted was for Lin Qing Yi to enter the teleportation array. He had no time to waste with these people. He wanted to end this battle as fast as possible!
"What a terrifying spiritual energy. The Inner Eyes of Execution sure are dominating."
The leader of the City of Yun Xiao's expression was heavy. He formed a hand seal and used himself as the center of the array. He connected the spiritual energy of the 21 cultivators and exploded with an unparalleled amount of energy. In that instant, the sky darkened and the earth darkened!
The atmosphere was heavy!
Twenty-one Foundation Establishment cultivators joined forces and formed a powerful battle formation. To any Foundation Establishment cultivator, this was an imminent disaster. Death was certain!
"Move!"
After a cold shout, the Leader of the City of Yun Xiao stood where he was, unmoving. The other 20 foundational cultivators, however, unleashed their own techniques and headed towards Ling Xian. Like a tidal wave, their killer's intent was dense and overbearing!
"Die!"
Ling Xian held the Sword of Extinction in his left hand and the Halberd in his right. He was wearing the Armor of the Royal Spirits and had the Winged Blitz on his back. Like an immortal descending to the mortal world, his power was enough to suppress all enemies!
Booom!
The Armor of the Royal Spirits emitted an infinite amount of light that blocked all the attacks. Ling Xian did not retreat even half a step. The Halberd of the Divine Warrior swept across the land, destroying everything in its path!
However, the battle array was incomparably powerful. Even though the Halberd of the Divine Warrior was ferocious, it was still being resisted. One of the cultivators in black was originally hopeless. However, because of the battle array, a new energy emerged from his body and stopped the Halberd of the Divine Warrior's attack.
This was the strength of the battle array. Because everyone's spiritual energy was connected, they could borrow each other's cultivation level in times of danger!
"Haha, young man, the battle array is undefeatable. Just give up!" The man in purple laughed.
"The battle array is strong, but it cannot stop me."
Ling Xian's expression was cold as he fought against the crowd. The Sword of Extinction was incomparably sharp and the Halberd of the Divine Warrior was frightening. The two complemented each other and began a shocking battle!
"Get the f * ck out of my way!"
Ling Xian shouted. The black Halberd of the Divine Warrior exploded with a terrifying amount of energy that shook the sky. After a loud bang, the silhouette before him was forced to retreat.
At the same time, he moved left and right like a ghost. He planned on killing the leader of Yun Xiao City first.
After all, the battle array was incomparably powerful and unpredictable. Though it could not defeat him, he could not do anything to these people either. Only by killing the eye of the array would he be able to destroy the battle array. Only then could he slaughter these people like pigs and dogs!
"Stop him!"
The purple-robed man saw through Ling Xian's intention and hurriedly appeared in front of the youth. His sword was filled with murderous intent as he aimed for the youth's throat!
"You are seeking death!"
Ling Xian's eyes turned cold. The Sword of Extinction was incomparably sharp. Bloody light filled the sky and cut through the man's sword. Then, the sword pierced through his heart!
"Though the battle array is strong, it is not undefeatable. It cannot revive you."
Ling Xian pulled out the Sword of Extinction. Instantly, blood splattered everywhere. The man's eyes widened and he collapsed unwillingly.
"Leader of Yun Xiao City, accept your death!"
Ling Xian flapped his wings and created a gust of wind that forced the silhouette before him to retreat. In the next second, he was in front of the leader of Yun Xiao City. His Halberd of the Divine Warrior emitted an infinite amount of heavenly light and slashed down!
Unparalleled sharpness!
