Chapter 823: Stepping Down

Translator: _Tat_  Editor: Rundi

In midair, Ling Xian acted as a violent human-shaped apex predator. He crazily attacked and every single punch landed squarely on the other person!

A muffled shout began to echo and made everyone stare wide-eyed. They felt coldness shoot up their heads and their bodies shook from the coldness.

This scene made the elder’s eyelid jump and he was infuriated.

He had already appeared but Ling Xian continued to violently strike the emperor. This was naked disrespect!

Obviously Ling Xian thought nothing of him!

Therefore, why wouldn’t the elderly be furious!

“Young man, you sure do not know how high the sky is. Die!”

The elderly screamed and Qi from the advanced stage of the original level brewed. They turned into a black scaled dragon that headed towards Ling Xian.

“Other than different breeds of dragons, do you Zhou Dynasty have anything else?” Ling Xian’s expression was emotionless. Without looking back, he threw another punch!

HOMMMM!

Another loud crackling sound echoed throughout the air.

Ling Xian remained unmoving. He treated the emperor like a punching bag as he crazily and violently fought on.

The observing elder stumbled back three steps and some shock rushed to his eyes. He didn’t think as a cultivator at the advanced stage of the original level, he’d fell short against Ling Xian’s one attack. What did this mean?

This meant the man before him was also at the advanced stage of the original level!

“You dare to provoke the royals of the Zhou Dynasty! You do have some capabilities after all.”

The elderly coldly snickered and joined the battle. At the same time, a dark gold spear emerged and headed towards Ling Xian’s brows.

“My target is the emperor himself. Everyone else, get the f!ck away!”

Ling Xian’s eyes glazed over. A violent atmosphere continued to fill the air and forced the elder to retreat. Then, one fist headed towards the emperor who was attempting to escape. His other fist chased after the elderly!

“This is… pure physical strength?”

The elders’ iris restricted and he sensed the strength Ling Xian was using. He couldn’t help but be astounded.

Remember that heaven and earth had changed. It was no longer like ancient times where everyone cultivates under the physical route. In today’s day and age, very few people can reach the completion level in terms of physique, let alone the original level!

Yet Ling Xian had reached the advanced stage of the original level. Why wouldn’t he be astonished?

“Dammit, when did the emperor provoke such a terrifying enemy?” The elder silently cursed. He held his spear before his chest in an attempt to defend against Ling Xian’s heavy blow.

Sadly, he miscalculated.

The moment the first landed against his spear, he finally realized just how terrifying the physique of the advanced stage of the original level is.

Crack!

After a crisp crack, this spear that was made out of various heavenly materials split into many pieces. The elder was also pushed back by the violent amount of energy.

At the same time, the emperor was knocked backward from Ling Xian’s punch and he was flung out for meters.

At once, the entire area silenced.

Everyone was in shock as they all stared at the silhouette in white with disbelief in their eyes.

Remember that they were of the intermediate and advanced stage of the original level. In the entire Zhou dynasty, who can defeat them solo?

Yet right now, not only was Ling Xian defeating all of them, he was doing it in such a clean manner. This was unbelievable!

“I told you, nobody can save you today.”

Looking at the stumbling emperor, Ling Xian’s expression remained calm. Like a God who was sitting above the clouds, he peered down onto everyone else.

This gaze pained the emperor.

As the ruler of the Zhou Dynasty, he has only ever looked at others in this way. When have others ever looked at him this way?

Yet there was nothing he could do.

After the battle just now, he understood that Ling Xian was no longer the completion leveled cultivator from before. The him today had the right to look down onto him.

“Continue being a punching bag. After I am done, I will let you go.”

Ling Xian spoke softly. He then reappeared before the emperor and started the next round of violent attacks.

BANG!

The person’s arms broke.

The agony made the emperor shriek and sweat.

It wasn’t over. Ling Xian continued to attack and every punch landed squarely on the emperor’s body, breaking over half of his bones.

This astonishing fight made everyone feel a cold sensation. Their bodies shook from fear.

The elder’s fear reached its extreme.

Every time Ling Xian swung a fist, his heart thumped violently and the elder looked pained. However, he knew just how terrifying Ling Xian was and didn’t dare to go up and help him. He was terrified that he would end up in the same boat.

After all, he could tell that Ling Xian wasn’t planning on killing the man. Or else the emperor would’ve died a long time ago.

“Oh well, then let him release his anger a little.” The elder sighed. In the end, he decided to drift away and watch everything unfold.

This made Ling Xian’s lips curl up. He gave the elder a look like “you are smart for reading the situation.”

The emperor, however, had his face turn white and fear flooded his gaze.

“Don’t worry. I won’t kill you because of your daughter.”

Ling Xian glared at him and after one kick, the man lunged back for 100 meters, “You have avoided your death sentence but you will not escape some pain.”

Then, he flashed before the emperor and both of his fists hammered down!

HOMMMM!

The emperor puked out a mouthful of fresh blood and he collapsed onto the ground powerlessly. All the bones in his body broke and not a single bone was still intact.

Ling Xian slammed down on him as well. One foot landed on top of the emperor.

Immediately, another mouthful of fresh blood splattered out. The emperor’s face was white and his soul was floating. His once controlling eyes were now full of fear.

He could not imagine just how powerful Ling Xian has become. However, he knew that there was no way he could stop Ling Xian now. He can’t even take a single hair off of Ling Xian’s head.

Therefore, why wouldn’t he be scared? More than that, he felt humiliated.

Remember that he was the Zhou Dynasty’s emperor. In the entire Yunzhou, he was someone with a high status!

Yet Ling Xian was treating him like a punching bag and was stomping him underneath his foot. That was a great humiliation.

Yet he had no power to resist. No matter how humiliated he was, he had to endure!

“Be thankful that you birthed a great daughter. If she didn’t beg, I would’ve killed you a long time ago.”

Ling Xian peered down from above and shot a look at the fatigued emperor. All the anger in his chest has dissipated. He didn’t hate this man that much. To have made him look so pitiful in front all of the local citizens was enough for him.

Plus, he had promised the Seventh Princess that he wouldn’t kill him. He would do that because of all the things the Seventh Princess has done for Lin Qing Yi.

“Ehem, Ehem, you are talking about my seventh child?” the emperor was puking out much blood. Even his breathing was getting difficult.

“Who else did you think it was?”

Ling Xian glared, “If she didn’t ask me to spare you, I wouldn’t have.”

Hearing this, the emperor felt somewhat fortunate but also humiliated.

He has been ruling this land and everyone on it. he has always been the one controlling others’ life or death. When did he have to be asked to have his life spared?

What Ling Xian said next made him feel an even more intense humiliation. Everyone at the scene went silent.

“I hope after today, the person sitting in the ruler’s seat is the seventh princess. Or else, I will use fresh blood to paint her a path to the top…”
