Chapter 874: Wang Jun’s Obstruction

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

The greeting hall was silent.

Though Fairy Wu and the others appeared calm, there was turmoil in everyone’s heart.

They too, could defeat Zhao Qing with one attack. But to do it in the same manner as Ling Xian – to send him flying with one cup, was a little difficult.

Therefore, everyone was extremely shocked. They didn’t think Ling Xian’s control over his power had reached such a terrifying state.

One jade cup!

Such a fragile object had somehow diminished the strongest descendant from the Zhao Clan. How powerful was that!

“Such strong physique, such strong power. No wonder he got through the Heavenly Palace.”

The Young Master’s eyes turned heated. He wanted very much to make a move and fight against Ling Xian.

“No wonder the vice dean placed great importance on him.” Fairy Wu’s expression twisted a little and she clearly now understood how terrifying Ling Xian’s physique was.

Wang Jun and them were the same.

Especially Zhao Qing, who was sent flying, revealed much astonishment and fear.

He knew very well that he had used all the strength he had in his body. Despite so, he was knocked out by Ling Xian’s jade cup. Why wouldn’t he be terrified?

At the same time, he realized a reality. A reality that made him tremble all over.

He, the strongest descendant of the Zhao Clan, was not an opponent of Ling Xian’s. He didn’t even have the right to be his opponent!

Thinking about it made Zhao Qing’s face turn white and his body began shaking a little. There was fear, humiliation, and anger in his eyes. But more than those, he appeared bitter.

That bitterness is something he’s never felt before ever since he started cultivation. It was like a catastrophe that killed off all his confidence and arrogance.

“Now you are not yelling at me and trying to send me to hell anymore eh?”

Ling Xian glared at this person. The white jade cup returned to his hand. The alcohol in his cup did not spill one bit.

His physique was now at the peak of the original level. Naturally the amount of control he had over his strength was terrifying. Defeating Zhao Qing was a piece of cake.

However, defeating this descendant was the result of him using all his strength. What he wanted was to use this opportunity to scare off everyone.

He could tell that everyone here was trying to weigh in on how capable he was and if he matches up to the rumors. Wang Jun in particular, appeared a little defensive.

Thus, he wanted to reveal his capabilities to stun everyone here.

Seeing that not a single drop spilled from his cup, Fairy Wu and everyone were once again shocked.

To defeat an original leveled Heaven’s Favorite with a cup already spoke volumes about one’s capability. But after the clash of two forces, the alcohol didn’t even splash?

The alcohol didn’t splash one bit.

This meant Ling Xian’s control over his strength has reached an extreme height.

This height is something even Fairy Wu can’t achieve. Everyone was surprised at this, and Zhao Qing was getting bitter.

As the strongest descendant of the Zhao Clan, the advanced stage of the original level, and a Heaven’s Favorite, he was extremely powerful.

Why wouldn’t he be bitter now?

“Ehem, ehem, I have lost. The rumors are no joke.”

Zhao Qing puked out two mouthful of blood. He appeared defeated and he looks like he had aged several decades and was now full of bitterness and defeat.

“Then, let me send you on your way.”

Ling Xian spoke softly and his eyes flashed with coldness. He had warned the young man but that man’s brother, Zhao Qing, was here to provoke him. Of course Ling Xian was tempted to kill.

“You want to kill me?”

Zhao Qing quivered. Remembering his background, however, his gaze turned fearless, “I admit that you are very strong and I am no opponent of yours. But I have the Zhao Clan behind me. If you kill me, my Clan will not forgive you.”

“You are threatening me?”

Ling Xian’s expression was calm and he allowed no questions. He glanced at Zhao Qing. There was no killer’s intent in his eyes nor sharpness.

Yet it still made Zhao Qing react like he was about to fall into an icy hell and ache all over.

He could clearly feel that Ling Xian didn’t care about his threat. Or in other words, he didn’t care about the Zhao Clan.

This finding made him fearful. A fear like never before.

The reason why he can behave as if he is above everyone else was only half because of his own capabilities. More than that, it was because of the Zhao Clan.

In the entire East Domain, the Zhao Clan’s existence is one of the most prominent. Similar to the Library of Fortune or the Wang Clan, his capability was powerful.

Yet before his eyes, his capability was not worth mentioning before Ling Xian and his background wasn’t worthy either. Why wouldn’t he be scared now?

Everyone else realized this as well. Strangeness flashed across their eyes. It was the first time they had found someone who is so calm in the face of the Zhao Clan’s threat.

“The Zhao Clan may be powerful. But I have already offended it. So what difference does it make for me to kill or not kill you?”

Ling Xian spoke softly. He had already formed a rivalry with the Zhao Clan. Even if he spares Zhao Qing now, the Zhao Clan will continue to send out powerhouses to trouble him.

This was something that became obvious when Zhao Qing came to find him. The Zhao Clan will not easily let this go. Plus, he could feel that this person wanted him to die.

Therefore, why would he spare Zhao Qing? That would be the same as keeping around someone troublesome.

“You... you cannot kill me. If you kill me, you will really have offended the Zhao Clan.” Zhao Qing was flustered. It was difficult to hide the terror in his expression.

“The Zhao Clan’s existence is truly a troublesome one. But it’s not enough to scare me off.”

Ling Xian’s expression was collected. He dared to kill even the Supreme Headmaster of the Shang Qing Sect, why would he care about a descendant from the Zhao Clan?

Plus, the two already formed a rivalry. To be cautious around them will only anger him.

Therefore, Ling Xian stood up and walked towards Zhao Qing.

At once, Zhao Qing’s expression changed. He struggled trying to get up but could not support himself no matter what.

Ling Xian had unleashed all his strength with that strike, which had crushed the majority of the bones in his body. In other words, Zhao Qing was now equivalent to a handicap, how can he stand up?

Fairy Wu and the others’ expression changed. Wang Jun however, walked over and stood before Ling Xian.

“You are stopping me?”

Ling Xian raised an eyebrow. His Qi was threatening.

“You cannot kill this person.”

Wang Jun said softly. Like an emperor who sits above the nine clouds, his Qi was glorious and honorable.

“Why can’t I kill?”

Ling Xian’s expression was calm. He didn’t unleash any energy but his demeanor was comparable to Wang Jun’s.

“Because, I will not let you.” Wang Jun spoke with dominance and much supremacy.

Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled. He smiled flashingly.

He didn’t want to be enemies with the Wang Clan of Mount Luo Fu. But since this person cannot identify the right from the wrong, then he will have to spend some time doing what he wants.

Thus, his smile disappeared and he said softly, “I will only speak once. Step away.”

“I will also speak once. Step back.” Wang Jun’s expression was chilling, arrogant, and ruling.

“It looks like we cannot agree on this matter.”

Sighing, Ling Xian’s expression turned frigid. Then, a statement full of killer’s intent left his lips.

“Someone that I, Ling Xian, want to kill, is not someone you can protect.”
