136: One person killed nine grandmasters!

"Kid, you're very strong. Even if I were at the seventh rank back then, I wouldn't have been your match," Old Mo said, his voice carrying a hint of admiration.

"Even an eighth-rank would suffer from this strike!"

"But I'm not one to take things head-on..."

Just as Ling Xian was wondering what he meant, Old Mo acted, stimulating the potential of all the exotic beasts.

Instantly, the eyes of these beasts—including the most promising Exotic Bird—turned blood-red as they lunged toward Ling San.

Ling Xian was startled. He turned and fired an arrow toward Ling San's position, killing all the exotic beasts on the spot.

[Ding! Congratulations on killing all the exotic beasts contracted by the Child of Destiny, Jiang Yifeng. Reward: +20,000 villain points!]

By the time he turned back, Old Mo had already controlled Jiang Yifeng's body to flash several kilometers away.

"Cautious kid, you're still too green," Old Mo sneered. The reason he was able to step into the ninth rank back then wasn't because of the best talent or the best luck, but because he was insidious and cunning enough.

As long as one survived, there was hope for a comeback. No matter how talented or lucky the dead were, they were nothing but dust.

"Then you'd better take this arrow!" Ling Xian seemed tireless for a moment, firing three bone arrows in one breath.

Old Mo's face filled with alarm. He pushed his speed to the limit, but he was still sent flying by the shockwaves of the three bone arrows' explosions, even sustaining heavy injuries.

"Cautious kid, truly cautious. You can shoot this far?" Old Mo sneered, his heart still racing; he had nearly lost his life there.

But he didn't dare think too much. He could only run, running with all his might.

Suddenly, the situation reversed.

The Third Elder of Medicine King Valley watched as his side couldn't even handle Ling San and those black-armored creatures. Now, with Ling Xian free to act, alarm bells rang in his head.

"Young Master Ling, I only want one tongxuan flower and then I'll leave..." The Third Elder of Medicine King Valley didn't dare think too much and was still trying to negotiate; after all, they had seven Grandmasters on their side.

They weren't like those other two groups who fought alone.

"Hmph, too late!" Ling Xian didn't waste words and directly drew his bow.

"Wait, wait, wait! We're leaving now. We don't want this tongxuan flower anymore." The Third Elder of Medicine King Valley was afraid; after all, this was just a mission.

Failure wouldn't cost his life, but a fight to the death was another story.

"Shut up!" Killing intent surged in Ling Xian's eyes; he was completely in a killing frenzy.

His foundation was damaged, he had used the Spirit Accumulation Pill ahead of time, and he had even summoned ten members of the Undead Silent Army early.

Every one of these trump cards had been forced out by desperate circumstances.

Of course, Ling Xian knew that tonight felt more like destiny trying to strangle him.

The luck of three Children of Destiny joined together—how terrifying was that? They had actually found nine Grandmasters to team up.

One arrow fired, and the Yellow Wind Gate Grandmaster died!

A second arrow fired, and the Qingtai Mountain Grandmaster died!

...By the sixth arrow, the female Grandmaster from Yunyu Pavilion died!

Every arrow meant the death of a Grandmaster.

Every arrow left everyone heavily injured. Even if they realized it and tried to flee, they would only be met by bombardment after bombardment.

This feat was like a missile barrage.

Even these long-established veteran Grandmasters had never seen anything like it.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was an eighth-rank attack.

This was the top-tier combat power within a major sect!

Now, before Ling Xian, they were like mere chickens and dogs.

Terrifying!

Anyone who didn't know better would think Ling Xian had already stepped into the eighth-rank realm.

When Ling Xian was in the Master realm, he could barely kill an early-stage Grandmaster.

Unfortunately, fighting nine Grandmasters had still left him somewhat disheveled.

Now that he had broken through to Grandmaster, killing nine Grandmasters seemed only natural.

Even for Second Elder Deng, who was a peak Grandmaster and a body cultivator.

He only managed to leave behind a more complete skeleton than the other Grandmasters.

"Spare me, and you will be an honored guest of my Medicine King Valley. My Medicine King Valley is willing to refine pills for you." The Third Elder of Medicine King Valley had one arm blown off and pleaded for mercy as he ran.

Unfortunately, Ling Xian didn't lack people to refine pills.

A single Living Dead was far more precious than the so-called Medicine King Valley.

Swish!

The seventh arrow fired, and the Third Elder of Medicine King Valley died!

As the battle ended, of those involved in this terrifying slaughter, only Jiang Yifeng left alive, aside from Ling Xian's side.

All nine Grandmasters were dead!

Pluto Qi Xiu was dead!

In an instant, the once-beautiful Tongxuan Valley had been ravaged like hell.

The surrounding giant mountains were nearly leveled, and some had even become basins.

Such a terrifying disturbance naturally couldn't be hidden. It was recorded by the Qianji Pavilion and even the major nations of Blue Star.

"King!" The ten sixth-rank members of the Undead Silent Army bowed in unison.

"Go back!" Ling Xian waved his hand, and the ten black-armored undead vanished into the ground.

These ten had fully awakened; except for not reaching their original combat power, everything else was fine.

They could be summoned for battle at any time.

"Young Master, this... you..." Ling San was somewhat dazed.

It was one thing for his combat power to be terrifying, but where did these ten nearly immortal Grandmaster-level experts come from?

"Third Aunt, I hope you are my person, not my grandfather's informant," Ling Xian said indifferently. "It's best to keep these things secret, otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences."

"Understood, Young Master. Don't worry, I definitely won't tell the old man." Ling San nodded like a chick pecking grain, her heart filled with fear, feeling that her young master was unfathomable.

"Young Master, your cultivation?" Ling San felt the Young Master's aura plummeting and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing. My foundation is damaged, I just dropped a minor realm." Ling Xian didn't care, but in his heart, he was planning how to make up for the damaged foundation and quickly stabilize his cultivation.

"Medicine King Valley has countless precious medicines. Since they dared to move against me tonight, it seems I'll have to pay them a visit before leaving the Central Province."

Ling Xian made a silent resolution. He didn't believe that Medicine King Valley's thousand-year legacy and heritage lacked a precious medicine to repair his foundation.

That night, the King of the East Sea's ranking soared, successfully breaking into the top ten of the Heaven Ranking.

The speed was breathtaking, and the impact was shocking.

Even the forum on the Qianji Pavilion's official website seethed because of this, nearly crashing.

Everyone was heatedly discussing the matter.

[On what grounds? Last time he wasn't even in the top hundred. How long has it been, and he's straight into the top ten? The Qianji Pavilion is corrupt!]

[I refuse to accept this. I'm a long-established veteran Master, and my ranking dropped instead of rising. I won't even mention that.]

[This King of the East Sea is that kid who's been climbing the ranks so fast consecutively.]

[Exactly, he was just a Master last time.]

[Even if he broke through to Grandmaster, he'd only be at the early stage. How can he be in the top ten?]

[...]

Just as everyone was refusing to accept it and even about to challenge the Qianji Pavilion, the pavilion released a video at the perfect time.

This video was still shot from a satellite perspective.

However, compared to the last one, this one was a bit more blurred.

It was only because the energy fluctuations in the video were too strong, causing the footage to be distorted, with ghosting and warping!

[Holy crap! Ten-Zhang Golden Body? Isn't that the signature technique of those elders from my Blood Jade Temple?]

[Did the drama just hit home?]

[Saint Monk upstairs, is this video real?]

[What's going on? Why did he stop talking?]

[He probably went to verify it?]

[...]

A minute later.

[Brothers, I'm out of here. Our temple really did have elders who went to help as a favor, but we didn't know who they were dealing with.]

[I never expected it to be that monster, the King of the East Sea.]

[This monk feels that the Blood Jade Temple's future is bleak. I've returned to secular life, I'm out!]

The next moment, the Saint Monk's avatar turned gray as he deleted his account.
