Chapter 962: Beaten Down
Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi
The black sea roared and the waves reached the sky.
Nan Gong Huai Yu’s hair was down as he reacted as if possessed. He moved his sword aggressively, sending sword rays across the sky. They are matchlessly sharp and violent.
Yes, he was strong. But Ling Xian was stronger!
In terms of techniques, he had the Eyes of Execution. He was using all six transformative qualities and they were definitely on par with Nan Gong Huai Yu’s inherited techniques.
In terms of spiritual energy, he had metamorphosed, thus he was better than Nan Gong Huai Yu!
Therefore, despite Nan Gong Huai Yu’s violent and crazy attacks, Ling Xian was not being suppressed!
Everyone on the ship was stunned. All of them were watching with their eyes wide. They didn’t think Nan Gong Huai Yu would be losing to Ling Xian!
Remember that this was a top-notch Heaven’s Favorite, nicknamed to be undefeatable in his own generation. He was extremely powerful, yet he was completely beaten down by Ling Xian. Why wouldn’t everyone be shocked?
“Ah, die!”
Nan Gong Huai Yu was furious. Aggressive Qi howled out of him like a furious animal that shocked all three thousand miles of the world!
HOMMM!
The black sea continued to boil, generating giant waves that split open the sky!
Ling Xian was fearless against him. His two hands glided around rhythmically. The heavenly light around him continued to emit, destroying the tall waves.
At the same time, the Zither of the Crouching Dragon appeared!
Ding!
After that one sound, heavenly music notes as heavy as swords appeared. Every single note that was played acted like a sword!
At once, bloody cuts appeared on Nan Gong Huai Yu. He was already at a disadvantage and now he looked even more exhausted.
Everyone was shocked at this.
“AH!”
After a furious shout, Nan Gong Huai Yu began to shine with much light. An endless amount of sword energies swept across, tearing the sky and revealing their sharpness.
Ling Xian remained calm without reaction.
If this was before, against such a powerful Nan Gong Huai Yu, he would have to treat him with caution. But now, he had reached the peak of the original level and thus this man posed no threat.
“You are no enemy of mine. Stop struggling.”
Ling Xian spoke as the Burnished Mirror of Spirituality appeared above his head. An eternal heavenly light shot out of it and diminished the sword ray!
At the same time, the Halberd of the Divine Warrior swept across, generating angry waves that shoved Nan Gong Huai Yu out.
Next, in a flash, Ling Xian reappeared beside Nan Gong Huai Yu and he slammed down his fist!
Bang!
Like a small mountain had landed, this punch knocked Nan Gong Huai Yu down to the ground. His chest was now mostly cracked.
If it weren’t for this man’s powerfulness and his ability to protect his heart at this critical moment, this slap would’ve killed him.
Despite his ability to survive, his face was now pure white as he coughed up much blood. Then, he crazily used his Qi in an attempt to turn the situation around and avenge himself.
When he exploded with Qi, Ling Xian’s foot landed and crushed through his resistance and stepped onto his chest.
Retch!
Nan Gong Huai Yu puked out a mouthful of fresh blood. His face turned pale white.
Everyone’s eyes widened at this. They were in awe!
Without a doubt, Nan Gong Huai Yu had lost. He had lost completely!
Though he was strong, and even in the end, he still fought on and resisted, the post metamorphosed Ling Xian was far too powerful. He was so utterly tied down and he had no way of resisting.
Everyone was in shock!
Not even in their dreams did they think that the top Heaven’s Favorite from Huang Zhou would be in a loss position the moment the fight started. They truly could not believe that throughout this entire time, Nan Gong Huai Yu was on the losing end!
“You have lost.”
Ling Xian glared at him and his right foot landed on his chest. He didn’t apply any strength – it was soundless humiliation.
Nan Gong Huai Yu was now furious. He was a descendant with talent that surpassed normal cultivators. Whether it’s his identity or his capability, he was above others.
Yet he was being stepped down on by Ling Xian like this. This was a huge humiliation. Why wouldn’t he be furious?
But no matter how furious he was, he had no way of resisting and could only comply.
At this moment, he was finally sure of one thing. That is the post metamorphosis Ling Xian had spiritual energy that beats out everyone his own level!
At this moment, Nan Gong Huai Yu had been completely beaten down.
He was known as a rare genius that appears once in a few thousand years and was known to have extremely shocking talent. Yet right now, he could not fight against someone who had a metamorphosis.
And at this moment, he was going up against someone who had metamorphosed. Why wouldn’t he feel the impact?
“Ehem, ehem, did your spiritual energy transform?”
Nan Gong Huai Yu coughed up more blood and stared deadly at Ling Xian. He was hopeful that Ling Xian would deny it.
Sadly, reality is cruel. Ling Xian answered bluntly and honestly.
“You guessed it.”
Those words acted like a heavy hatchet that crushed Nan Gong Huai Yu’s pride and confidence.
At this moment, he finally realized how stupid he has been and how laughable.
Yes, he was strong, and was known as a top Heaven’s Favorite. However, he didn’t transform and the gap between him and transformed Ling Xian was night and day.
The latter could easily defeat the former!
“Against transformed Qi, I don’t feel bad for losing.”
Nan Gong Huai Yu was acting as if he had lost his soul and as if he had aged a few decades. His face was full of bitterness.
To someone like him, who hasn’t lost since he began cultivating, being defeated was a huge deal. Learning that Ling Xian’s Qi had transformed was another kick.
It should be known that he had desired a Qi transformation for a long time but he couldn’t find the opportunity!
These two things combined and multiplied. The result of it was incomparable and completely crushed his belief.
“Before, you could threaten my life, but now…” Ling Xian’s lips curled up and he didn’t finish his sentence.”
Nan Gong Huai Yu understood. Everyone else understood as well.
Though Ling Xian and Nan Gong Huai Yu exchanged hundreds of rebuttals, Nan Gong Huai Yu was on the losing side for every single one of them.
By now, Nan Gong Huai Yu was puking much blood due to his loss.
This had fully proven just how powerful Ling Xian was now. The once nemesis of his no longer posed any threats.
“Ehem, ehem, stop wasting time. Kill me or chop me up, it’s up to you.”
Nan Gong Huai Yu couldn’t stop puking blood. His eyes were filled with fear towards death and bitterness.
“I remember before our fight, you gave me a choice. Now, I return that choice to you, untouched.”
Ling Xian glared at the person and the foot on the other man’s chest strengthened. He said in a cold voice, “If you beg for forgiveness while on your knees, I can spare you your life.”
Hearing this, Nan Gong Huai Yu’s face was bloated red. It was due to fury and also humiliation!
But he had no capability to argue and had no words to argue.
Before the battle, he had mocked Ling Xian and gave him a humiliating choice. Now, Ling Xian had returned this question to him and sounded even more convincing!
Because he had lost, he had no way to say anything else!
“You can kill me but you cannot humiliate me. Make your move. I, Nan Gong Huai Yu will not bend down just to save my last breath!”
Nan Gong Huai Yu shouted angrily as he stared deadly at Ling Xian, “But, even if I die, I will take you!”
After those words, he began to burn his Qi to blow up his own enlivener!
HOMMM!
After a terrifying vibration that rolled out in all four directions, a giant wave was created and washed over the entire place!
This was his final strike and also his strongest one. He vowed to take Ling Xian down with him!
“A beast who tries to fight alone. You sure overestimate yourself.”
Ling Xian uttered out those words. His six transformative qualities began to shine brightly and instantly diminished this strike!
At the same time, Nan Gong Huai Yu was blown into pieces!
