Painting of the Nine Immortals

On the empty field, a young man wearing a gold robe with blond hair walked towards Ling Xian with his head held high. He moved like an ancient beast, quaking the earth until giant cracks formed and until the space shook.

The amount of prowess was truly terrifying.

When everyone saw this person, everyone shrieked in horror.

“This is… the God of Gold from the golden roc kind!”

“Rumor has it that he is extremely powerful and is the strongest descendant from the roc kind. It is a pure blooded golden roc!”

“That’s right. The normal rocs you find are only half blooded and lack half the strength next to pure blood. But the God of Gold is the strongest descendant of their kind. Its blood stream is extremely clear and pure!”

“I heard that it once killed two Heaven’s Favorites of his own level. Out of all the foreign kinds, it is one of the strongest beings!”

Everyone discussed in surprise. Their voices carried some fear.

Even Su Li Yu and the others frowned slightly.

What could they do? The God of Gold was far too famous. Being a golden roc at its core, all of its kind could tear open the sky and crack the earth, catch the stars and take the moon. It is nicknamed to be one of the strongest heavenly animals!

This one here was also one of the strongest of its bloodline – a pure blooded golden roc. Its capabilities are naturally extremely terrifying and it is definitely one of the most powerful beings from the original level.

“The pureblood of the golden roc…”

Listening to all the discussions around him, Ling Xian frowned. He rememberedwhat the golden roc said to him when he was killing off the golden roc kind in Yuezhou. He couldn’t help but twitch.

So the pureblood of the golden roc resides in Tianzhou.

“Young man, I smell blood on you.”

The golden roc was extraordinarily handsome as he stared at Ling Xian deadly in the eyes. He swung his weapon decisively. “I smell the blood of my golden roc.”

At those words, everyone was first a little stunned. Then, the way they looked at Ling Xian was even more shocked.

The God of Gold’s words were not hard to interpret. What it meant was that Ling Xian has killed golden rocs.

This surprised everyone. They didn’t think this man was that strong – strong enough to kill even one of the 10 nobel kinds.

“Smell of blood…”

Ling Xian frowned slightly. He understands now why that golden roc from before said the pureblood wouldn’t forgive him so easily. He also realized why this golden roc before him was looking for him now.

So it’s because he had the scent of once killing a golden roc. Or in other words, he was marked. Marked in a way that only golden rocs could sense.

In other words, this “man”, named God of Gold, was here to revenge.

“So you are a golden roc. I originally thought you were a dog. Or else why would your nose be so sensitive.”

Ling Xian softly smiled. He was at ease, relaxed, and still completely himself.

“You are seeking death.”

The God of Gold’s face darkened. He has always been one above the others. But Ling Xian was calling him a dog. Why wouldn’t he be furious?

“If I am not seeking death, then would you not attack?”

Ling Xian glared at this person, “You are finding me now to avenge those golden rocs who died in my hands, no?”

“Those?”

Noticing this key word, the God of Gold’s eyes turned cold, “You killed more than one?”

“I can’t remember exactly.”

Ling Xian answered softly. He then said something that silenced the entire place.

“I merely killed an entire village.”

At those words, the entire place silenced.

Killed… an entire village?

What the hell! Why so overbearing!

Everyone reacted as if they had lost their soul. They didn’t think Ling Xian’s capabilities would be so powerful that he could kill an entire village. They also didn’t think he would have the guts to spill the truth before the God of Gold.

Remember that the golden roc kind is very protective. Even for the ones with impure blood, they wouldn’t allow anyone to kill them!

As anticipated, after hearing what Ling Xian had said, the God of Gold’s eyes glistened, “Very well. You dare to kill one of my golden roc villages. Young man, you are truly looking to die.”

After those words, a thin layer of energy howled. Like the sky was collapsing, there was a pressure that could crush the rivers and mountains!

One has to admit that the golden roc was truly powerful. From this one gush of energy it became apparent that the rumors were no exaggeration!

This made everyone there howl.

Even Ling Xian couldn’t help but frown. The difference between a half blood and a pure blood was truly like the moon and a firefly. They aren’t comparable.

However, he didn’t show any signs of fear. He said lightly, “Since you are here for revenge, then say less and do more.”

“Killing a village of my kind… let me grant you death.”

The golden roc opened its mouth to speak. Like a real God who peers down onto others, he obviously didn’t think anything of Ling Xian.

He had the right to. Even though he found out Ling Xian killed an entire village, he still had enough confidence.

WHat could he do? The different bloodlines of the golden roc are complex but the pure blooded rocs are clean and they are just better at everything.

“It looks like you have determined my crime. But do you have the right to put me on trial?”

Ling Xian spoke softly. He knows now that there was no way he was going to avoid this battle. Therefore, he straightened his body and his white robe fluttered.

“Don’t think that just because you killed a village, you can see the golden roc kind lightly.”

The golden roc teased, “For the past thousand years, I am the purest golden roc in the golden roc clan. Don’t judge me with the scale you applied to those mix bloods.”

“There is no difference in my eyes.”

Ling Xian was emotionless. He placed his hands behind his back and appeared sage-like.

“When I crush your bones, you won’t say that anymore.”

The golden roc obviously didn’t think anything of Ling Xian. His two arms shook and golden light howled out and materialized into a giant golden wings.

Immediately, wind blew and clouds converged. The entire atmosphere turned heavy.

At this, Ling Xian slowly extended his right hand and he formed the Fists of Disorder Conquering Fists. Though he hasn’t unleashed them, its terror had shaken up the space around him.

“You are merely ant-like. Let me, the God of Gold, send you on your way.”

After those words, the God of Gold reacted like it was a real God. That golden roc glided downwards, generating a tornado of terror that swept across the sky!

Crack!

After a crisp noise, the space crumbled. It was obvious how powerful this silhouette of a roc was.

However, Ling Xian’s expression remained unchanged. He concentrated his power in his right fist and he unleashed the Disorder Conquering Fist!

HOMMM!

One beast, one heavenly fist; the two clashed in midair. The vibration the explosion created changed the color on everyone’s faces.

Then, Ling Xian and the God of Gold all walked back three steps. They ended this rebuttal with a tie.

“You have some capabilities. Sadly, you are merely an ant.”

The God of Gold’s expression remained unchanged. He swung his fist and his entire body crashed through space!

Ling Xian was fearless against this. Fist to fist, the two clashed again.

HOMMM!

After another loud rumble, the two of them retreated three steps again.

This surprised everyone. They didn’t think Ling Xian would be powerful enough to take two attacks from the God of Gold.

Even to Su Li Yu and them, this was a little shocking.

“Interesting. I have decided. I will not kill you. But I will make you a servant.”

The golden roc mocked. Like the god of earth, he peered down onto everyone.

His demeanor was astonishing and overpowering!

“Servant?”

Ling Xian’s eyes glazed over. “That is a good idea. I need some form of transportation. I guess you will have to do.”
