25: It's a pleasure to work with you!

Ling Xian did not stop Lin Feng from leaving.

On one hand, the Child of Destiny's fortune was still protecting him.

On the other hand, he himself hadn't had enough fun yet.

Ling Xian faced the old man in front of him, who was also wearing a black robe like himself.

Each fist strike was like the wind, transforming into the cruelest blade within the summer's hot wind!

The Black-robed Old Man was indeed a Half-step Grandmaster, narrowly dodging each time.

However, Ling Xian also began to get serious.

Dragon Capturing Hand!

At its peak, a single Dragon Capturing Hand could seize even a proud, soaring Nine-Heaven Divine Dragon within the palm.

Although Ling Xian only knew this one move, it's better to master one move than to know a hundred!

This one move was enough.

Faintly, the Black-robed Old Man seemed to see a Colossal Hand grasping a Skeletal Dragon.

Facing this move, he had only one thought: he could not take it head-on.

Yet, even with the attack merely grazing him, the Black-robed Old Man staggered back several steps, blood trickling from his mouth.

"You are very talented! But you cannot disrupt My Clan's grand plan!"

The next moment, the Black-robed Old Man actually imitated Ling Xian's gesture and unleashed the Dragon Capturing Hand.

Ling Xian forcefully took this move, somewhat stunned.

"Master?"

"No, you're not. Who are you?"

Recalling the original plot, the introduction of Lin Feng's Master was too sparse.

He only knew that this master secretly taught Lin Feng cultivation and would rescue him whenever he encountered danger.

But Ling Xian laughed; this was just a fool who could only imitate him.

"What? Scared? I can replicate all your techniques, and my cultivation realm is half a step higher than yours. You cannot be my opponent." Seeing Ling Xian stunned, the Black-robed Old Man mocked.

However, he did not see the killing intent flashing in Ling Xian's eyes.

"Just a counterfeit."

In the next instant, Ling Xian appeared before the Black-robed Old Man. A single fist strike stirred fallen leaves into a flurry and shredded his clothes.

The old man's figure was also revealed before Ling Xian.

It was a humanoid creature, its entire body transparent like a mirror.

The mirror-like substance was softer than a normal mirror, possessing the tactile feel of human flesh.

Even Ling Xian was momentarily dumbfounded.

Such a strange creature actually existed in the world.

"Hahaha! My Clan has recuperated for many years. My emergence marks the beginning of the great era's arrival!"

"I can copy every single one of your moves and return them to you."

After speaking, he imitated Ling Xian's fist and swung out. Internal energy covered his fist, amplifying its power. A heavy punch sent Ling Xian staggering back.

"No wonder Lin Feng in the later stages could learn various sect techniques and martial skills that didn't belong to the same system. It seems you learned them first and then taught him.

However... this world has taught me one principle: kill!"

Ling Xian's Super Recovery refreshed him completely.

The two continued their fierce struggle.

Initially, the Mirror Creature relied on its superior cultivation realm to hold the advantage.

But after a few exchanges, it sensed something was wrong.

This person's physical resilience was far too high.

This was also the first time Ling Xian revealed the special advantage of his body.

Originally, during these three years, he had specifically focused on body tempering. His body was stronger than that of an ordinary Fifth-Rank Martial Artist, compounded with Super Recovery.

The result was that 1+1 became greater than 2.

"Your talent is indeed formidable, even frightening me at first!"

"But your weakness is also obvious. You possess a martial artist's strength, yet you lack a martial artist's physical constitution. You are merely a machine for copying techniques.

Now, it can end."

Ling Xian's fury blazed. One punch, two punches—each punch began to be imbued with the Undead Divine Fire. As the punches grew more dense...

"CRACK!!!"

The Mirror Creature's bones fractured.

Then, the divine fire incinerated its soul.

"Aaaah..."

This Mirror Creature was beaten to the ground, half-dead.

"Cough... You... I'll wait for you in hell. If you dare to ruin My Clan's grand plan, the King will never let you go." Coughing up white blood, the Mirror Creature looked at Ling Xian with hatred.

"King? I am the King of the Undead.

As the saying goes, kings should not meet. Tell him to come see me, and I'll see if he dares." After saying this, he kicked the Mirror Creature.

In that instant, the kick was like a giant hammer striking a mirror, shattering it into countless tiny fragments.

Ling Xian stretched lazily, feeling immensely comfortable all at once.

It had been a long time since he had fought so comfortably.

"Pity, this Half-step Grandmaster wasn't up to par. He didn't even leave a single scar."

"Run! Haha, this guy thinks he can kill me like that." The mirror slowly coalesced, preparing to drift away with the wind.

"Oh? Still quite spirited, not dead yet?"

Just now, when using the Undead Divine Fire, Ling Xian discovered that this creature's soul was exceptionally powerful, while its physical body was extremely weak.

This was why it could rapidly copy others' martial techniques.

But its physical body was as weak as an ordinary person's.

Whether it was dead or not, Ling Xian, relying on the Undead Divine Fire, could naturally sense.

"You... just who... are you?" The Mirror Creature was incredulous.

In its memory, Lin Feng had never provoked such a terrifying enemy, and their clan had no such foe either.

Just that Dragon Capturing Hand alone was not something an ordinary martial artist could possess.

This was a conspiracy targeting Lin Feng, targeting My Clan's grand plan.

Ling Xian gathered his internal energy into one palm. A colossal, sky-reaching palm descended, and the Mirror Creature was utterly pulverized into fragments. Its soul also returned to heaven and earth, barred from reincarnation.

Ling Xian was actually already very close to the Grandmaster Realm.

His control over the internal energy and vital energy within his own meridians had reached a terrifying level.

Every move could be executed with perfect precision.

[Ding! Lin Feng's Master has died. Plundered a crucial source of Lin Feng's destiny fortune. villain points +5000!]

[Ding! Lin Feng has developed extreme fear regarding today's ambush. villain points +1000!]

Ling Xian's eyes lit up. Lin Feng's Master was actually so valuable, worth more than Lin Feng's own intense emotional fluctuations.

His villain points were empty last time. This time, not only were they replenished, but they had doubled.

6000 villain points!

"System, do you think Lin Feng's destiny fortune will increase? By plundering his fortune, aren't I essentially plundering his opportunities? He's like an engine for my villain points?" Ling Xian asked illusion dream in his mind.

[Theoretically, yes. But in reality, his destiny fortune will be exhausted, turning him into an ordinary person of no consequence.]

Hearing this, Ling Xian also abandoned the idea of sparing Lin Feng's life.

Useless. Why keep him? Once he's played with enough and his fortune is mostly depleted, he can be killed.

[Additionally, reminding the host: as time progresses and the Great Era Approaches, more and more individuals possessing destiny fortune will appear. Their fortune will be increasingly terrifying.]

"The Great Era Approaches? Lin Feng's Master just said the same thing.

What exactly is this 'Great Era Approaches'?"

But accompanying Ling Xian's question, illusion dream did not answer.

[Just focus on strengthening your strength.

Don't get schemed against by some Child of Destiny.]

"Heh, the more of those Children of Destiny, the better. They can just be my harvest.

I don't think I'm inferior to them in any way.

They're just darlings favored by the world's destiny fortune."

"Pleasant cooperation to us!" Ling Xian laughed and spoke to illusion dream.

[Pleasant cooperation!]

After a moment of silence, illusion dream no longer used the system's mechanical voice but spoke with a mature, alluring female tone.
