Chapter 952: Leaving in Ease

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

In midair, the three top-notch Heaven’s Favorites were boiling in fury. Undefeatable energy howled out of them and engulfed the entire place!

At once, wind blew and clouds converged. Heaven and earth lost their color!

However, not only did Ling Xian’s expression not change, a smile was actually forming.

“You cannot stop me from leaving.”

“How dare you!”

Nan Gong Huai Yu shouted, “It’s true you have some ability, but you are merely not bad. You without spiritual energy cannot fight against me – let alone fighting against the three of us.”

“I admit that. But have I ever said I am fighting you?”

Ling Xian smirked, feeling too lazy to speak more. In a flash, he had retreated to a place hundreds of yards away.

“You cannot escape!”

Song Li’s eyes were cold as the Flame of Nan Ming Li roared out of him and formed a sea of fire around Ling Xian, blocking his way.

At the same time, Nan Gong Huai Yu and Han Jiang Xue attacked aggressively. The heavenly sword and snowflakes arrived simultaneously, sharp as ever.

Ling Xian merely chuckled at this. His two hands glided across, throwing out punches that defended against these people’s attacks.

Then, his hands tore apart space and he disappeared far away.

However, Nan Gong Huai Yu was prepared for this. Within seconds, he stood before Ling Xian and sliced towards him with a sword!

Ling Xian frowned at this but he was not flustered. He raised his hand and his hand stopped the sword rays. He then used this confusing situation to attempt an escape.

“Where do you think you are going! You are staying put!”

Song Li was furious. The Flame of Nan Ming Li hovered above his head, transforming into a fire that stretched on for miles, angering even the gods!

“You cannot stop me.”

Ling Xian smiled softly. The Disorder Conquering Fists were summoned, which created a giant hole in the sea of fire. Then, his body vanished.

However, when he reappeared, he landed inside a world of snow and ice.

Millions of snowflakes drifted, each emitting an intense coldness with killer’s intent.

Whoosh!

The snowflakes flashed across the sky, acting like heavenly swords that were unparallelly sharp, instantly leaving behind marks on Ling Xian’s body.

Remember that Ling Xian had a physique that was at the peak of the original level. To be able to leave marks on his body showed Han Jiang Xue’s dominance!

“I don’t have the patience to waste time with you all. We will meet again another day,” Ling Xian said. He then swung his fist and diminished every attack from every direction!

Then, he tore apart space again and reappeared hundreds of miles away.

Nan Gong Huai Yu and the other’s face dropped. They simultaneously attacked as if they had discussed this beforehand to kill Ling Xian!

Sadly, their attack ended up helping Ling Xian.

As his two hands moved to stop the three attacks, he used the energy to propel himself away. Within seconds time, he had escaped far out of these people’s sight.

Only one light statement that was filled with laughter echoed throughout the air, darkening these people’s expressions.

“Like I had said, the three of you cannot stop me. But, I am thankful for your final attack. It saved me much energy.”

Those words darkened the three’s expressions. They were furious and also humiliated.

They were all top-notch Heaven’s Favorites from their respective continents. With insane abilities, nobody has ever ran away from them.

Yet before their eyes, Ling Xian had left so easily while taking the Frozen Lotuses – a treasure they already thought of as their own. Why wouldn’t they be furious?

Why wouldn’t they feel humiliated?

However, they all chose not to pursue as they all knew that even if they try their hardest, they cannot catch up to Ling Xian.

“Dammit, don’t let me see you again or else I will chop you into eight pieces!”

Nan Gong Huai Yu was enraged as he screamed into the sky, startling all nine levels of heaven!

But Ling Xian could no longer hear.

With his speed, he could escape very far within seconds. With these few seconds, he had caught up to Huang Jiu Ge.

“Master, how are you?”

Huang Jiu Ge fluttered her wings and flew underneath his feet. Her eyes were full of worry.

“It’s no big deal. I got a little injured.” Ling Xian waved his hand, his face was a little white.

He first fought against Bai Yuan, then defended against three top-notch Heaven’s Favorites. To be able to retreat fully was already unbelievable. Naturally he was a little hurt.

Luckily, there was no major problem. With some rest, he will restore as good as new.

“Great. Master, look, I have already gotten my hands on the Frozen Lotuses.”

Huang Jiu Ge said with a smile. The three ice blue lotuses were suspended on her back. Under the backdrop of the white flame, they appeared even more holy.

“You are doing really well. My fight was well worth it. These three Frozen Lotuses are worth it.”

Staring at the cold icy blue lotuses, Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction.

Frozen Lotuses are heavenly medicine. Even one of them is worth enough for a cultivator to fight over. Not to mention he now has three of them before him. Of course he was happy and he felt like this fight wasn’t in vain.

“Master, don’t do that again. You have no spiritual energy right now. What if something happens…” Huang Jiu Ge hesitated to continue.

“It doesn’t matter. I dared to attack means I have the confidence to win.”

Ling Xian waved his hand. Remembering Bai Yuan’s powerfulness and Nan Gong Huai Yu and the others, his eyes flickered with anticipation.

After fighting against those four, he realized that he was now considered a top-notch Heaven’s Favorite, but he lacked a little bit.

Therefore, he now has an even greater desire for his Qi to successfully transform.

Only then, will he gain the right to start battles against other top-notch Heaven’s Favorites. He also believed that after he successfully transforms, Nan Gong Huai Yu and the others will be no opponent of his!

As for normal Heaven’s Favorites… he will kill them at will. It will be no different than slaughtering pigs or dogs!

“Let’s go find the Nirvana Fountain. After my Qi transforms, I will become the number one hero!”

Ling Xian smiled. The Flame of Purity enveloped the Frozen Lotuses and they were then placed into his storage pouch. Then, he closed his eyes, manipulating the Pearl of Emerald Blood and his ancient majestic blood to heal his wounds.

Huang Jiu Ge’s wings fluttered. Like a shooting star, her speed was shocking.

Just like that, one of them healed while the other rushed the way and headed towards the southeast horizon.

Time passed by little by little.

Ten days later, Huang Jiu Ge and Ling Xian arrived before a dense forest.

Here, ancient trees touched the sky and were blooming. It was a lively place. However, the moment they landed, Ling Xian frowned.

Because he had sensed a terrifying Qi. As if an ancient beast was crouching inside. Once it appears, it will cause the world to bleed.

Especially after seeing a black tombstone, his frown deepened.

“Jiu Ge, are you sure this is the place where you sensed the real phoenix?” Ling Xian’s brows tightly locked together.

“My blood tells me that this is the place. No doubt about it.” Huang Jiu Ge was full of hope and wanted to rush into the forest to find the Nirvana Fountain.

“But, look there.”

Ling Xian pointed to the space before him, where a black tombstone stood. On it, were four giant red characters.

The Third Prohibited Area.
