Chapter 441: Fear

Translator:?_Tat_??Editor:?Fish_Creek

Before the entrance of the Qi Zhen Pavilion, Ling Xian stood with his Halberd in hand. His black hair tussled in the wind and his demeanor was just like the rise of a devil – terrifying. Especially after his Halberd swept away Wang Teng Fei, the horror he gave up shook everyone up.

Everyone’s reaction became slow as they stared at the tall silhouette. Their faces were full of fear and even their bodies were shaking.

Two moves.

Merely two moves defeated the somewhat famous Wang Teng Fei. How powerful was this?

To know that Wang Teng Fei was also a powerhouse of the intermediate stage of the completion level. Yet against Ling Xian, he couldn’t last two moves. What did this mean? It meant despite the fact that they were of the same cultivation level, their battling abilities were as different as Heaven and Earth!

The distance between them were not hard to imagine.

“What a powerhouse completion levelled cultivator!”

Everyone fell into fear as they became fixated on Ling Xian. Other than fright, there was also some astonishment.

Astounded at Ling Xian’s abilities, and astounded at his age.

The most shocked of all was undoubtedly Gong Suo Xin. She met Ling Xian when he was merely of the meditational level. This was why she didn’t expect that after eight years, he would already be of the completion level, one that was exponentially stronger than Wang Teng Fei!

Originally, she thought Ling Xian trained enough to be at the peak of the foundation level. This was why she tried so hard to stop him from fighting. After seeing this, did she realize that she had underestimated Ling Xian.

“What a guy. After short eight years, you have grown to this estate.”

Gong Suo Xin stood by the window on the third level and peered down at Ling Xian. She appeared astounded and shocked as she mumbled, “I originally thought I overestimated you. I guess I underestimated you after all.”

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered the confident smile Ling Xian had and the promise he made. Hope rose in her heart.

Perhaps… perhaps he really has the capability to help her become the Leader of the Qi Zhen Pavilion!

Gong Suo Xin’s beautiful eyes shone in colorful lights.

“Ehem… ehem… what a powerful person.”

Wang Teng Fei puked out two mouthful of blood as he stood up with difficulty. The way he looked at Ling Xian was complex. There was shock, fear, and humiliation.

He had always been proud of his capabilities and thought that in this city, very few people were his opponents. Thus, he became someone that was very arrogant and never saw highly of people. Yet before his eyes, he was defeated by Ling Xian using two moves. How could someone as confident as him handle this?

Pity though, reality was before his eyes. He had to accept it!

“Dammit!”

Wang Teng Fei’s fists clenched together and he was unwilling to give up. However, no matter how unwilling he was, against Ling Xian, he couldn’t even last two moves. This turn of events traumatically crushed his belief.

At this moment, he realized one thing: defeating Ling Xian was a joke.

A giant joke!

Not only he thought so, everyone here thought so. They peeked at Ling Xian, then stole a glance at Wang Teng Fei, their eyes filled with pity.

The Wang Clan this time… is truly kicking some hard iron.

In the Emperor’s Millennium Capital, the Wang Clan was, without a doubt, a powerful force. They had acted without regards to others and had been very unreasonable. Many cultivators had been bullied by the Wang Clan but due to the control they had, they never dared to speak out.

Yet here was Ling Xian, knocking out Wang Teng Fei in two moves. This was the same as slapping the Wang Clan’s face, which naturally satisfied the crowd.

“Everyone, we should put an end to this.”

Ling Xian glared at Wang Teng Fei, no longer wanting to waste any more time with these people. With his terrifying capabilities, even if some completion levelled cultivators of the advanced stage were here, he would still have no need to fear!

Don’t forget, at the Trading Island, he had killed four completion levelled cultivators of the advance stages using his Zither of the Crouching Dragon. A merely completion levelled cultivator of the intermediate stage didn’t even have the right to fight him!

HOMMMM!

Ling Xian rose his right arm and the Halberd of the Divine Warrior exploded with heavenly light. Instantly, unshapely energy erupted in all four directions. All the guards in helmets were knocked out, finally getting the lesson they deserved.

“Now, it’s your turn.”

Ling Xian pointed his Halberd at Wang Peng and locked in its killer’s intent.

Immediately, Wang Peng’s face turned pale. As if he had just fallen into an icy hell, his entire body quivered. He was already scared gutless after experiencing Ling Xian’s Qi. This cold killer’s intent before him shook him up even more!

“Dammit, don’t come, don’t come…” Wang Peng’s face was pale white and his voice was quivering. It was obvious how much fright he was experiencing.

This was normal. Wang Teng Fei, to him, was an undefeatable warrior. Yet he just witnessed this undefeatable warrior being flung out by Ling Xian under two moves. The impact of this was sever. It stripped away his confidence and arrogance!

Thus, how could he not feel fear?

“I remember ordering you to not provoke me. Why didn’t you listen?” Ling Xian’s expression was calm. He didn’t want to kill people and that was why he let Wang Peng go. Yet here he was, knocking on his door, thus he cannot be kept alive.

Or else many more troubles will find him.

“No, I promise you that I won’t give you any more trouble. Please, you have a big heart, let me go.” Wang Peng was flooded with fear and was utterly destroyed by his emotions.

“Even if you don’t give me trouble, many other people will be troubled by your wrong doing. So, it’s better for you to die.” Ling Xian’s expression was calm. People like Wang Peng, who used his background as an excuse to cause others’ pain, were people Ling Xian was willing to kill. It wasn’t that Ling Xian was ruthless, it was that he was getting rid of bad growth for the common people.

Thus, he made his move.

The Halberd swept across and aggressive Qi howled out of him. However, before it hit Wang Peng, Wang Teng Fei deflected it.

“Your excellency, it was entirely my Wang Clan’s fault today. But please, think of the Wang Clan and let him live.”

Wang Teng Fei lowered his head. Though unwilling, against the very strong Ling Xian, he had to lower his arrogant head.

“Your Clan came to find me trouble yet you want me to think of your clan? What a joke.” Ling Xian revealed a sarcastic smile. But the next second, his expression became cold, “Stop wasting more words. Today, I must kill that person. If you do not comply, then fight me.”

Then, he rose his right arm again. The Qi of the Halberd filled the air and struck down along with his arm!

In that very second, Wang Teng Fei began to puke out blood and was knocked out again.

Simultaneously, Wang Peng’s eyes widened. His body collapsed onto the ground and he breathed his last breath.

“Give my message to the Leader of the Wang Clan, if he doesn’t think what happened today is right, then he can come find me.” Ling Xian glared down at Wang Teng Fei and walked towards the Qi Zhen Pavilion, leaving behind merely one statement.

“Remember my name: Ling Xian. Ling as in ‘ruling’, Xian as in ‘immortal’.”

The moment his voice trailed off, Wang Teng Fei and the guards clenched their fists in humiliation. However, none of them dared to stop his words. All they could do was watching Ling Xian leave with unwillingness in their eyes.

However, more than all else, there was fear.

Fear towards Ling Xian.
