Chapter 753: Two Fingers

“Xian Ling, I waited for you for 17 years. I have finally found you.”

As the voice entered Ling Xian’s ears, a handsome young man wearing all black walked over. His expression was cold and his vigor was powerful.

“Hmm?”

Ling Xian raised an eyebrow as he watched the man walk over. He looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn’t place his finger on it.

Therefore, he could only open his mouth to ask, “Who are you? Have I offended you before?”

At these words, the man was stunned. Then, all the coldness on his face disappeared. What replaced it was embarrassment.

“You.. you don’t recognize me!? Dammit, how could you forget about me? Leng Feng!”

The man was furious and horrifying Qi rolled out of him and shook up all the space around him.

He had been waiting for Ling Xian for 17 long years yet before his eyes, this man before him doesn’t even remember who he is. Why would he not be furious?

“Ah, you are Leng Feng. No wonder I feel like I know you.” Ling Xian realized and after thinking about it for a bit, understood why he was full of rage.

Obvious he was bitter after being defeated. So today he purposely made a trip to avenge himself.

“Dammit, am I actually so insignificant in your mind?”

Leng Feng’s face was dark and he gritted his teeth, “After you left the Sect, I wait for you here for an hour every day. I have done so for 17 long years but you have forgotten all about me!”

“I...”

Ling Xian bitterly smiled. He could understand how Leng Feng was feeling.

The person he has been waiting for, for 17 years and the person he has been wanting to surpass doesn’t even recognize him. Nobody would be able to take this!

But he truly couldn’t remember Leng Feng’s name. How could you blame him?

“Damn you! Damn you!!”

Leng Feng’s hair was standing up on their ends from anger. Terrifying spiritual energy continued to pour out of him like raging waves.

The descendants who were passing by were all attracted by what was happening and all rushed over.

“Calm down. After all, it’s been many years and it’s not my fault for forgetting.”

Ling Xian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He wondered what Leng Feng would say if he finds out that Ling Xian even recognized the two guards. Leng Feng would probably puke blood.

“I don’t care if you forgot about me or not. After this battle, I will make sure you remember me forever.”

Leng Feng marched forward one step and his Qi turned even more terrifying. He had reached the intermediate stage of the completion level – proving that he has grown a lot these past 17 years.

“It looks like you are determined to cause me trouble.” Ling Xian raised an eyebrow.

“That’s right. It’s been 17 years. I have been swallowing my humiliation for 17 years. Today, I have to avenge my past.”

Leng Feng’s expression was dark. He was originally furious already, and now that Ling Xian said he hasn’t even thought about him, his anger became even stronger.

“The intermediate stage of the completion level... your cultivation speed isn’t bad. But this little capability isn’t enough to compete against me.”

Ling Xian glared at him, “I just returned to this Sect and I have no intention to fight you. Retreat right now and don’t humiliate yourself.”

“This time, it will be you who is humiliated.”

Leng Feng smiled proudly and his face was full of confidence, “Seventeen years... I waited for a full 17 years... today, I must defeat you!”

“Defeat?”

Ling Xian glared at Leng Feng, “During that competition, we were battling as equals. There was nothing to be ashamed of. But if you are so keen on being humiliated, then I will give you the opportunity today.”

“What opportunity! Today, I will defeat you!”

Leng Feng didn’t take him seriously. A black knife appeared inside his right hand. Immediately, killer’s intent poured out like tidal water and dropped the temperature around them.

“Alright. Then I might as well finish you off first before I take care of my business.”

Ling Xian softly sighed. He flattened his right hand and made a “please” gesture.

“Make your move.”

At those words, the bystanders who were there for the show began to discuss.

“Isn’t that Master Xian? Is that Leng Feng across from him? Based on the way they are standing, they are about to fight?”

“That’s normal. More than a decade ago, during the competition of the four paths, Master Xian defeated Leng Feng within seconds. Nobody could live with that.”

“Who do you think will win? My guess is that Leng Feng is more likely to win. Don’t you know that ever since he lost to Master Xian, he became delirious and trained himself like crazy.”

“Exactly. Plus, his cultivation is now at the intermediate stage of the completion level. His speed has been godly. I am guessing that he will win today’s battle.”

Everyone chimed in to discuss. Most of them believed in Leng Feng.

For one, he has been practicing very very hard and managed to reach the intermediate stage of the completion level. Plus, Ling Xian has been away for more than 10 years and nobody knows which cultivation level he is at now.

“Are you listening to what they are saying?”

Leng Feng held onto his knife proudly as he stared deadly into Ling Xian’s eyes, “For the past 17 years, I have been training like a crazy man. I have taken advantage of every single drop of my potential. Many times, I was seconds away from death. All I wanted to do was to defeat you.”

“Today, I have finally acquired the capability to defeat you. Xian Ling, let me give you a taste of being defeated!”

Leng Feng pointed his knife at Ling Xian and his killer’s intent locked Ling Xian in.

However, Ling Xian was not at all fazed by this.

“Ever since I began my cultivation journey, I have never lost. But I don’t believe that even if I did lose once, I would remember it as harshly as you do.”

“Then come and try me. After I defeat you, you will know what it feels like!” Leng Feng snickered and slammed down the black knife!

Whooosh!

The black knife sliced through the air. The coldness it was emitting changed the expression on everyone’s face!

However, Ling Xian remained relaxed and unfazed.

“There will definitely be a loser to this fight. But, it will be you.”

Speaking softly, Ling Xian extended two fingers. Then, in front of everyone’s astonished gaze, he softly held the blade between two of his fingers.

DONG!

A crisp noise echoed throughout, making everyone’s surprised expression look exaggerated.

Only Leng Feng was not shocked at this. Instead, he was ecstatic, “My knife isn’t that easy to catch!”

After he spoke those words, his Qi poured out!

The black blade exploded with different colors of light that eventually materialized into hundreds of different sharp rays of blades. They dropped down from the sky and aimed to slice Ling Xian into pieces!

This scene once again changed everyone’s expression. They all found it hard to conceal their shock.

“Haha, Xian Ling, accept your death!” Leng Feng laughed out loud and his face was full of happiness.

“It’s too early to be arrogant.”

Ling Xian glared at him and allowed the hundreds of blades to fall from the sky. He didn’t make a single defensive move. Just then, when the blades reached three inches above his head, they disappeared like the wind.

Then, the two fingers he used to hold the sword began to apply their strength. No light shot up through the cloud, no spiritual energy circulated.

But the moment he began to apply pressure, everyone heard a crisp sound.

Crack!

As this bright noise arose, the black blade snapped into two and dropped to the ground.

It also stabbed everyone’s heart.

All gazes were now on Ling Xian. There was shock, fear, and disbelief.

He stood there unmoving and yet he destroyed the sharp rays from the knife?

Did he use his two fingers to snap the black blade into pieces?

My god, just how capable did he have to be to achieve all this?!

Everyone’s expression was in awe and their faces were full of disbelief.

Leng Feng, in particular, had reached a point of no return. Even breathing became difficult for him.
