Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
"The one who murdered your inheritors was me, they have nothing to do with it. I will take full responsibility for my past actions!"
Ling Xian's one statement was brave and daring!
Everyone was stunned at first, then they all peeked over to look at Ling Xian. Their eyes were full of shock.
Take full responsibility for his past action?
How heroic did he have to be to make such a statement before three original leveled cultivators and more than ten completion leveled powerhouses?
How little did he fear? How brave was he?!
Ignoring whether or not Ling Xian will get out of this situation, his actions alone were something no regular humans could compare to!
"What an unprecedented Heaven's Favorite. Such a pity."
"Yes, his natural talent is without a doubt, extraordinary. And he is for sure the inheritor of various different techniques. He has both talent and capabilities. His personality as well had been tested and trialed. To save the House from its tough position, he is willing to step out. He truly is loyal and virtuous."
"That's right. Plus, he just stunned an entire crowd of cultivators with his spiritual energy. This young man here truly is the phoenix out of all the humans and a true Heaven's Favorite."
Everyone at the scene began to chit chat, all of them were filled with compliments and praises.
It was true. Ling Xian had natural talent, capabilities, and a personality good enough to succeed. He truly was a top-tier cultivator. In the entire Yunzhou, very few people can stand next to him and compete with him.
Therefore, it was only natural for everyone here to reveal how much they admired him. However, the moment they remembered that Ling Xian will not stay alive for long, they couldn't help but to shake their heads and sigh at the soon to be dead Heaven's Favorite.
Though they felt pitiful, they were not willing to risk their lives to save someone they were not close with. On top of that, there were three original leveled cultivators here. Even if they do attack, they will end up dead alongside Ling Xian.
The blond elder sighed softly, "What a shame. Even I, who is an enemy of yours, respect and admire you."
"Against so many powerhouses, you somehow are remaining calm and you have the guts to challenge me. You truly are extraordinary."
The elder wearing black, transformed from the six-armed gorilla, spoke softly as he stared at the quiet young man. He couldn't help but sigh, "It is no wonder you were able to end the life of my inheritor. Your temperament alone outcompetes his by far."
The elder transformed from the nine-headed spiritual lion did not speak. However, his eyes were shining with a trace of respect. It was obvious that he liked Ling Xian as well.
Remember that these three spiritual beings were all cultivators of the original level. Do you know how difficult it is the acquire their respect? Plus, Ling Xian was an enemy of theirs!
Despite this, the three original leveled cultivators respected him. It became obvious how excellent Ling Xian was!
"Stop spewing useless trash. If your admiration means you will back off, then I don't mind if you speak more."
Ling Xian revealed a cold snicker. His eyes flickered and at once, the Halberd of the Divine Warrior materialized in foggy air.
At once, an unlimited amount of killer's intent poured out and shot through the cloud!
The emergence of the Halberd infuriated the foreign kinds! Their killer's intent flared up in response.
However, the three original leveled cultivators had calm expressions and they did not hesitate at all. As original leveled cultivators above everyone else, Ling Xian, to them, was merely an ant.
The ant may have heroism seeping through its pores or enough courage to drain an ocean, but an ant is still an ant. Why would they be angry at something so powerless?
"We may admire you, but we still want your life."
The elder with blond hair had a peaceful expression followed by a trace of arrogance, "Blame yourself for being so blind to attack the inheritor of my roc kind."
"The inheritor of the six-armed gorilla kind as well… you sure had the guts of a leopard… you dared to touch and kill the inheritor of the six-armed gorilla?" The man in a black robe spoke as well.
With their original leveled abilities, they had the rights to see lowly of Ling Xian.
"A bunch of sons of b*tches who are irrational and unreasonable."
Ling Xian raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "I belong to the same generation as your inheritors and we were of the same cultivation level. I fought against them head on and face to face, using only my own abilities. Their loss indicate that they were not as good as others, who are you trying to blame?"
The blond-haired elder frowned slightly and asked in a cold voice, "Why did you kill them?"
"How laughable? They wanted to kill me and would not leave me alone. Why in the world would I spare their lives?" Ling Xian's anger was beginning to flare up.
He never provoked those spiritual beings. Those beings were using their larger population and their natural talent as an advantage to challenge him. Plus, the different spiritual beings were fighting against him with the intention to kill. Ling Xian killed them in defense, and it was not wrong of him to do that.
Yet before him, the leaders of these foreign kinds were looking to pinpoint the blame on someone. How could he not be angry?
"I do not care! You killed the inheritor of the roc kind! I want you to pay a tooth for a tooth!" The blond elder's expression darkened. He knew that he was being unreasonable and decided to go all the way.
"A tooth for a tooth…"
Ling Xian burst into a chuckle and pointed the Halberd of the Divine Warrior at the elder, "In other words, you are just used to acting like you are better than others. You let yourselves act without common sense but you do not allow others to kill members of your kind."
The blond elder had a look of arrogance and made a face that was full of contempt, "That's right. I am just that unreasonable. What can you do about it?"
"Haha, young man, the most important thing in this world is capabilities." The elder in black guffawed, "Fists are logic, fists are reason, whoever has the bigger fist has the right to make the rules!"
"Those aren't rules, those are messed up and ignorant actions."
Ling Xian's expression was frigid. He hated those who use their capabilities to their advantage and do whatever they wanted. However, he also knew that they were right.
In this world where the strong eats the weak, fists are reason. In other words, everything depends on capabilities!
Ling Xian's fists subconsciously tightened as he desired after the prowess of being in the original level. He has never had a desire so strong because only after he reaches that level, will he be able to break the unfairness in the world and will he stop being bullied!
He also knew that he had some distance between himself and the original level. What he had to do right now was to somehow escape this place.
Against three original leveled cultivators, even the best swordsman Dao Wu Ji, cannot escape if they attack, let alone a completion leveled cultivator.
Therefore, his plan since the beginning was to escape.
What could he do? The gap between their capabilities were far too wide. He was not stupid, why would he fight the foreign kinds heads on?
"I am going to act without reason. What are you going to do about it?"
The elder in black glared at Ling Xian the same way he looks at an ant, "If you were truly capable, then you can lecture me. But, do you have the capabilities?"
As soon as he spoke those words, the foreign kinds began to laugh with their heads held high in the air. Their tone was full of sarcasm and contempt.
"It's true. With my current state, I have no ability to slay you three. However, this does not mean I will not be able to do so in the future."
Ling Xian had a cold grin on his face as horrifying Qi left his body and shot straight through the cloud above him.
Then, a statement full of killer's intent accompanied him as he swept across his Halberd of the Divine Warrior!
"Demon, attack!"
