Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek

Inside the room, a gold sword sliced across the sky, revealing deadly sharpness and fatality!

The cold killer's intent and the terrifying Qi made all of Ling Xian's hair stand up on their ends!

The Qi from the sword have tightly locked him down as the horrifying amount of energy rushed over him like ocean waves. Other than facing it head on, there was no chance of dodging it.

Ling Xian realized this, thus he didn't hesitate at all. He stepped up and swung his Halberd. Then, he abruptly turned as the Halberd of the Divine Warrior exploded with heavenly light against the sword!

At a time like this, he had no time to prepare. He had to use the Halberd's power to defend against this violent sharp sword!

DONNG!

After a crisp sound, the Halberd of the Divine Warrior and the gold sword clashed into each other and created a giant wave that washed out all four directions!

In the next second, the gold sword broke into pieces, turned into a feather, and disappeared.

As for Ling Xian, he was pushed back by the power of this sword and stepped back three steps. Despite this, he had proven his powerfulness.

To know that he first destroyed thousands of snowflakes and then defended against the gold sword. This meant he had fought against two extremely powerful Heaven's Favorites alone!

How dominating was this! How commanding was this!

"Hmmph, so you have some skills."

The young man in the gold robe stared down at Ling Xian with cold killer's intent.

"Well look who it is." Ling Xian glared at the person and uttered out a mocking statement.

"It's the mixed bird."

The young man's face fell and the killer's intent he exuded turned even colder. He stared deadly at Ling Xian and hissed, "Young man, you are seeking death."

"Many people have said that to me. But sadly, they all died after." Ling Xian grinned and pointed his Halberd at the roc.

Though he appeared very calm, on the inside, he was carefully defending. After all, the enemy before him was a giant roc and a terrifying powerful Xue Yu Chan.

The two of them were foreign kinds with great abilities. If they link kinds, then even Ling Xian will need to hide.

After all, they were two of the best Heaven's Favorites of their generation!

"Hehe, young man, don't think that just because you have some capabilities, you have the right to be arrogant." The roc snickered and glared at him, "To me, you aren't even as worthy as an ant."

Then, he shifted his gaze towards Xue Yu Chan, "Fairy Xue, our kinds have always been friends. Why don't we link hands and kill this man?"

Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned and he too, looked at Xue Yu Chan.

"That is a good suggestion…"

Xue Yu Chan revealed a soft smile. She suddenly peeked at Ling Xian and responded, "But, I decline."

At that, Ling Xian's lips curled up and he relaxed.

If Xue Yu Chan agreed, then he wouldn't speak another word before breaking the array and leaving. After all, because of his knowledge with arrays, he can move around the Imperishable Temple easily without worrying about getting pursued by anyone.

But now, Xue Yu Chan has declined loud and clear, thus Ling Xian can now relax. The way he looked at the roc was suddenly overflowing with killer's intent.

Since the battle will be unavoidable and since this monster is determined to kill him, then Ling Xian has to battle and end this in blood!

"Good, very good."

The roc's expression darkened as he glanced at Xue Yu Chan then back at Ling Xian, "Young man, you sure have your ways. What did you do to have Fairy Xue not allying with me?"

Hearing this, Ling Xian didn't answer. Xue Yu Chan lifted an eyebrow and scolded, "Don't make wild assumptions. I don't want to link hands because I am a proud one. Why would I link hands with an enemy?"

"Haha, good one!"

Bellowing, Ling Xian continued, "Fairy Xue sure is a heroine. Not like someone, who sneaked an attack right off the bat and now trying to form an alliance with someone. You are an embarrassment to the Heaven's Favorites."

"You!"

The roc suppressed his anger, "Don't you dare think that just because Fairy Xue isn't willing to fight you right now means you can escape. I can easily defeat you with one hand!"

"Don't give me bullsh!t! If you want to fight, I will accompany you!"

Ling Xian suspended in midair like a God who rode above all clouds. The Halberd in his hand emitted an infinite amount of light that could easily shatter the earth.

"When I end your life, you will realize how big of a gap there is between us!"

Snickering, the roc's entire body began to emit light and transformed back to its original state. Its gold and gigantic body was indescribably repressing. Even the space was shaking.

In the next second, this monster dashed down and attempted to kill Ling Xian with its powerful wings!

The Gold Wings of the Roc!

This particular roc was the strongest out of his generation and possessed the ability to outshine others from its own generation. His attack now had displayed the great techniques of his own kind. The power of it all was naturally heaven shattering!

However, against this hit, Ling Xian was not startled. Waves of murky air appeared and materialized into white wings that greeted the roc's technique!

HOMMM!

The roc's wings against the Winged Blitz! The pair of wings clashed into each other and flooded this place with heavenly light.

Amongst the infinite amount of light, Ling Xian rose his Halberd. Terrifying spiritual energy gushed out and headed towards the roc!

"Hmmph, die!"

After a loud shout, the gold roc's eyes were sharp like swords and shot out two beams of heavenly light. They formed into a cage and trapped Ling Xian inside!

The Star Entrapping Cage!

Another great technique from the roc kind! The might of it was enough to steal stars! Unimaginable!

The roc before them was also extraordinarily capable and was one of the strongest in Yunzhou. It was nicknamed undefeatable!

Thus, this cage was naturally very imposing and immediately trapped Ling Xian inside.

"Hmmm?"

Feeling the strange power of the prohibition, Ling Xian frowned. He lifted the halberd and sliced it across, causing the space to shake. However, this cage was completely untouched and locked onto him, restricting even his bones.

"Haha, young man, you really think the great technique of the roc kind is that easy to break? Just wait patiently and you will soon turn into blood!"

Feeling the strange pull, Ling Xian frowned and lifted an arm to attack. The space began to shake. However, this cage was completely untouched and locked onto him, restricting even his bones.

The roc began to laugh crazily as disdain filled his eyes. Then, his wings fluttered and he flew further away to sit on the side and watch Ling Xian slowly die.

He was certain that Ling Xian will not escape and will be dead.

Even Xue Yu Chan, who was standing on the side, was shaking her head. Her beautiful eyes flashed with pity.

The Star Entrapping Cage of the roc kind was extremely famous and powerful. As long as the two cultivators are relatively similar in cultivation level, only death awaits for the one trapped.

Thus, she too, believed Ling Xian will be dead.

"It looks like you are very confident in this flimsy cage…"

Lifting up the corner of his lips, Ling Xian's entire body began to emit light like a small scaled sun. His right fist in particular, was shining and had an incomparably powerful vibe!

"How can the Star Entrapping Cage stop me?"

Shouting, Ling Xian slowly rose his right arm and his punch landed on the shapeless chains.

This punch was soft and very slow. Yet the moment it landed, it exploded with enough strength to eliminate all living beings. Instantly, the heavenly light dispersed and the barrier was broken!

The entire room was filled with an indescribable amount of energy!
