Chapter 617: A Finger
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
“If you choose to destroy your own dan tian, I will make sure you suffer less physical pain.”
An extremely arrogant statement arose, laced with a heavy tone of authority and arrogance. It was as if he had already put Ling Xian on trial and sentenced him dead.
This made him frown and angry.
After the first round of test, he already felt the person’s killer’s intent. But who was Ling Xian? Why would he ever be bothered with an unnamed young cultivator?
Therefore, he didn’t think much of it. However, before his eyes, this person had the audacity to ask him to self-destruct. How arrogant was this?
Who wouldn’t be enraged at this?
“You sure are cocky.”
Ling Xian quickly glared at the young man before him and said, “Does your cultivation give you the right to be as arrogant as you are now?”
“Of course. Though we have the same cultivation level, my underlying skills can easily end you.” Qin Lie had a look of arrogance as if he was the God sitting above nine heavens. It was so obvious that he didn’t think anything of Ling Xian.
Hearing this, Ling Xian shook his head and laughed. The person before him was simply an ant of the meditational stage. Though he was using his clone, Qin Lie, in his eyes, was still an ant.
Just then, everyone here also discovered the tenseness between Ling Xian and Qin Lie. They then began to discuss this matter.
“Hehe, this will be fun to watch. The son of the warrior has found a mysterious man to fight over.”
“One is the youngest son of the warrior god with the cultivation level of 10. The other is a mysterious nomadic cultivator with Royal Leveled talent. If they fight against each other, I wonder who will win?”
“That goes without saying. It will definitely be the son of the warrior. All of his learnings are extraordinary. That man without background cannot outcompete all the work behind the son of the warrior.”
“That’s right. Qin Lie has been learning extraordinary things for forever and has no worthy opponents. Even though he has the same level of cultivation as the other man, he will still win.”
Everyone chimed in and discussed this matter. They complimented the son of the warrior while looked down at Ling Xian.
It was obvious that none of them thought Ling Xian could beat Qin Lie.
“Hahaha, are you hearing this?”
Qin Lie guffawed and his expression was turning more and more presumptuous. He pointed his finger at Ling Xian, “Hurry and handicap yourself. Save me the trouble of doing it personally.”
“Handicap me?”
Ling Xian had a sarcastic and cold smile on his lips. He said, “why don’t you come and try?”
“You have some backbone. Sadly, that is useless.”
Qin Lie’s face was full of disdain. He glared at Ling Xian, “Today, I will teach you the important lesson of why having natural talent alone is useless. I can easily defeat you.”
Just then, both of his hands glided in opposite directions. Then, a white spear materialized, vibrating with shocking spiritual energy.
“Fella, accept your death!”
Qin Lie shouted loudly. His spear swept across and a giant ripple of energy washed out and headed towards Ling Xian.
Immediately, the space shook and gold sand filled up the air.
Everyone at the scene was in pure shock and couldn’t help but to scream.
“This is the move that made the warrior famous! One swept knocked out a thousand men army!”
“How powerful! Rumor had it that one strike killed a thousand men! It is unstoppable!”
“I cannot believe the son of the warrior already learned this technique. Hehe, that person is screwed. Though he has a lot of talent, he cannot stop the move that popularized the warrior!”
“That’s right. It seems like the person will soon be handicapped. He will not be able to defend against even one attack.”
Everyone discussed their opinions. They were shocked at the son of the warrior’s powerfulness and expressed their sadness towards Ling Xian’s sad ending.
They thought that there was no way Ling Xian would be able to defend against such a powerful move. Only death awaited him.
The reality was that his expression was calm and he was not at all affected.
The technique the opponent displayed wasn’t a bad move. But to Ling Xian, it was nothing. If the father of Qin Lie, the actual god of warrior, came to fight him, he might exclaim a little. But the move that was unleashed before him was imperfect and very flawed.
Yes, even without the powers of the Eyes of Execution, this move was flawed in his eyes.
Don’t forget, though this clone had a level 10 of Qi, he was a completion leveled cultivator of the advanced stage. It was easy for him to see through this move.
Therefore, he didn’t summon any technique. Instead, he merely extended a finger and pressed down onto the flawed point of the sweep of the spear.
There was no heavenly light, no terrifying spiritual energy, yet the spear completely disappeared and yellow sand landed.
The entire space fell into silence and everyone fell into a state of shock.
A single point of the finger stopped the move that could kill a thousand men?
How was this possible?!
Everyone was in utter shock as they stared at the fearless Ling Xian with disbelief.
The person who made the move, Qin Lie, was even more astounded. Nobody knows better than him the power of the move he just unleashed. Yet it was destroyed by Ling Xian with a finger. How could he accept this?
Even if his father, the god of warrior, was here, he wouldn’t be able to accept it!
“Impossible!”
Shouting, Qin Lie could no longer accept this cruel result. The spear shivered and once again headed towards Ling Xian!
HOMMMM!
Heavenly light shot through the cloud, all sand was picked off the ground and headed towards Ling Xian’s throat!
“Idiot, no matter how many times you try, the result will be the same.”
Speaking softly, Ling Xian no longer wanted to waste more time. He once again pressed down his finger. Different than last time, however, he used a bit of his Qi.
The finger brushed by with a roar. Though it was slow, it was powerful. Like the falling of a statue from miles above, it posed an immense amount of pressure to people.
HOMMMMM!
The moment the finger reached its destination, all the sand in the air froze. The silver spear couldn’t handle the strength of the attack and completely crumbled.
In the next second, Qin Lie began to puke blood and was knocked out by meters.
This scene shocked everyone. They looked at the barely breathing Qin Lie and then in unison, stared at Ling Xian like they just saw a ghost.
One should know that despite Qin Lie’s arrogance, he was actually very powerful with a tenth level Qi, which equaled Ling Xian’s. Yet despite this, he was knocked out by Ling Xian’s one finger. How unbelievable was this?
This alone was enough to prove just how powerful Ling Xian was!
Though the clone only had a Qi of the tenth level, he remained undefeatable in his own realm and could easily defeat all cultivators of the same level.
“Ehem, ehem, this is impossible. I am the honored son of the god of warrior. How can I lose to trash like you?” Qin Lie’s face was full of disbelief. He couldn’t accept this cruel reality.
“Trash?”
Ling Xian laughed, “If I am trash, and you lost under my finger, what does that make you?”
Hearing this, Qin Lie stopped speaking. He was speechless.
If Ling Xian was trash and he was defeated after one move, then he was worse than trash. After all, the reality was before everyone’s eyes. Though he didn’t want to accept it, he had to!
“Consider yourself lucky. I don’t want to kill anyone today. Go and leave.” Ling Xian impatiently waved his hand.
“Dammit!”
Qin Lie’s face was in blotches of purple and white. He glared at Ling Xian poisonously before picking himself off the ground and walked away with difficulty.
It became obvious just how dominating Ling Xian’s finger was. With one move, Qin Lie became greatly wounded and wouldn’t recover for a few months.
At this, Ling Xian looked towards the distance afar, “The real battle is starting. I have no time to talk to your idiotic piece of trash.”
Just then, the entire space began to shake unstoppably!
A countless number of beasts began to appear from afar and were headed straight towards them. All of them had a thick layer of a killer’s intent!
Immediately, everyone other than Ling Xian had a drastic change in expression!
