Chapter 213: Death of King Xian
His words were the law!
Lin Jiufeng only said two words, but it was enough to force King Xian on his knees.
It was as if these two words held great power.
King Xian subconsciously obeyed, not daring to resist at all.
Only after kneeling down did King Xian remember that he was a king.
Even though the Ancient Dian Dynasty was gone now, he was still its king.
In the first place, becoming an undead skeleton was already something that he could barely accept. In addition, he had just emerged from his tomb but he immediately suffered such a huge blow. His warriors were wiped out and he was forced to kneel before a young man.
This was a great humiliation!
King Xian was so angry that his bones started to tremble.
He let out a thunderous roar. “A King cannot be humiliated!”
He tried his best to stand up, wanting to resist Lin Jiufeng.
But the result was that Lin Jiufeng pointed at the void.
The void was like water for him. It rippled layer by layer.
Then with a bang, it smashed onto King Xian.
Crack.
King Xian’s bones directly broke. Not one or two, but many of his bones fractured.
Only his skull didn’t shatter. It rolled down and came to Lin Jiufeng’s feet.
“What did you just say?” Lin Jiufeng asked calmly.
King Xian only had a skull left.
He was indescribably shocked.
His soul fire quivered in fear.
He was thoroughly afraid.
“You… How come you’re so strong?!” King Xian’s terrified voice rang out.
It wasn’t just King Xian who felt that Lin Jiufeng was incredibly terrifying.
Everyone in the ancient city felt the same.
Especially Bai Tiandi who was watching from the sidelines. He didn’t know what to say.
When King Xian fought him, the battle was very simple.
Even though he used everything he had and gave his all, he still couldn’t defeat King Xian.
The difference between them was like the difference between an eagle and a chick.
But facing Lin Jiufeng, King Xian seemed to have become like him when he was fighting the latter just now.
It was exactly the same!
They both felt powerless.
It was as if they weren’t facing a single opponent, but the entire world as their enemy.
“He’s too freakishly strong!”
“I’d better compare myself to a human…”
“I can’t compare to a monster!” Bai Tiandi remarked.
“Wait, you’re still comparing yourself to him?” Fire Lord chuckled.
“I’ve long extinguished such thoughts…”
“He told me to be down-to-earth, so I became a butcher.”
“His teaching didn’t disappoint me, after I became mortal, my cultivation speed increased rapidly. Despite that, I knew that I still wouldn’t be able to defeat him…”
“He is simply terrifying.”
“I suspect that he is already at the final realm!”
The final realm?
Bai Tiandi’s breathing stopped as two words appeared in his mind.
False Immortal!
This was the final realm of the mortal cultivators.
Being a cultivator at this realm meant that one was already half-step into reaching immortality.
This was an unfathomable realm that no cultivator had thoroughly understood.
“It’s only been three years, he can’t be that fast, right?” King Kaoshan gasped and asked.
“Do you really think so? Do you really think that Mr. Lin is someone who plays by the book?”
Fire Lord asked with a cold smile.
Everyone thought about it and agreed.
Lin Jiufeng didn’t act according to common sense.
No one could measure the speed of his improvement.
This time, the way everyone looked at Lin Jiufeng changed drastically.
Lin Jiufeng’s sheer strength served as deterrence and extinguished the thoughts of these people to fight him.
“I’m starting to sympathize with this King Xian.” Bai Tiandi suddenly chuckled.
Although he used the word sympathy, it was actually more of schadenfreude.
Bai Tiandi had just tasted the second defeat in his life after being defeated by the latter after all.
“Saying that will make people misunderstand…” Fire Lord commented.
“Misunderstand what?” Bai Tiandi looked at Fire Lord in confusion.
“They might misunderstand that the once insufferably arrogant and annoying Bai Tiandi has disappeared. They’ll think that you’ve been replaced by a talkative kid now.” Fire Lord curled his lips.
“That’s where you’re wrong. I’m just biding my time and letting you guys catch up to my cultivation base. After all, the gap between us is huge. I don’t want you all to feel inferior looking up to a genius like me.”
“If it weren’t for my magnanimity, how could you all have the honor to talk to—me—the future Celestial Emperor?” Bai Tiandi’s attitude immediately reverted to what it was three years ago.
“You should be grateful. Kneel down and lick my feet…” Bai Tiandi proudly stated.
“Yup, that attitude is about right. That’s more like it was three years ago, as soon as you opened your mouth back then, I always had this urge to tie your tongue into a knot and stuff you back into your mother’s stomach. You’ve finally come back, eh?” Fire Lord sneered.
The others watched as Lin Jiufeng taught King Xian a lesson. At the same time, they listened to the conversation between Bai Tiandi and Fire Lord with smiles on their faces. They both enjoyed the banter of the two and King Xian’s humiliation.
Lin Jiufeng ignored the bickering between Bai Tiandi and Fire Lord. He looked indifferently at King Xian’s skull and asked, “I thought you needed a human emperor with abundant destiny energy to come into being?”
A few years ago, Emperor De suffered a serious illness in the imperial capital.
It was caused by King Xian’s parasite worm.
At that time, in order to live, the soul fragment living in the parasite worm told him everything.
King Xian needed a human emperor’s body as a vessel to descend into the mortal realm once again.
But today, he managed to come into being.
However, his form was a skeleton.
This was out of Lin Jiufeng’s expectations.
“How did you know about that?” King Xian was astounded.
Plap!
Lin Jiufeng casually waved his hand.
A stream of True Qi directly whipped out. It passed through the skull and lashed onto King Xian’s soul fire, causing King Xian to let out a tragic cry.
“I’m the one asking here. You just have to answer honestly. There’s no need for you to say anything else,” Lin Jiufeng said coldly.
Lin Jiufeng had no good impression of King Xian.
It was because of his orders that the parasite worm invaded Emperor De’s body.
If Lin Jiufeng didn’t manage to return in time, Emperor De would have died.
If Emperor De died back then, the Yuhua God Dynasty would’ve experienced a series of tumultuous years. Lin Jiufeng would then be forced to make a move to stabilize the nation.
But all of this was still considered the better scenario.
The worst scenario would mean that King Xian succeeded in occupying Emperor De’s body to control the Yuhua God Dynasty. If that happened, Lin Jiufeng would’ve experienced a massive headache.
Hence, Lin Jiufeng was very cold toward King Xian.
He whipped King Xian until the latter shrieked.
King Xian furiously roared. “I am a king! The King of a dynasty!”
“Your Ancient Dian Dynasty has long perished. The era has changed, King!” Lin Jiufeng sarcastically said as he sneered and whipped King Xian once again. The latter’s soul fire fiercely trembled as it weakened.
With a tragic cry, King Xian was forced to accept the reality of his situation.
He was now meat on someone else’s chopping board.
He didn’t dare to speak anymore.
“Answer my question…” Lin Jiufeng calmly said.
“I had no choice!”
“I waited for so long, but no such opportunity arrived, nor could I find a human emperor to take over. I had no choice but to transfer my soul into a corpse and become an undead creature so I can come into being!”
“This way, I can come out and find another way to obtain a fleshly body.” King Xian cried.
“Since you were forced to do such a thing, does this mean that you no longer have any helpers?” Lin Jiufeng asked.
“Yes, I’m all alone now.” King Xian nodded.
“Then die!” Lin Jiufeng directly stated.
“What?!” King Xian’s soul fire fiercely shot up. He was astonished by what he heard.
He never expected Lin Jiufeng to say this.
Weren’t they having a good chat?
After being whipped a few times, he had also become obedient.
But Lin Jiufeng still wanted to kill him?
King Xian wanted to ask why.
But he was destined to never hear the answer…
It was because Lin Jiufeng directly stepped on him.
Boom!
His leg shattered the void as it stepped on King Xian.
King Xian’s skull and soul fire split apart and dissipated into nothingness.
King Xian died!
Lin Jiufeng carried the white cat and slowly walked back to his courtyard.
In the eyes of Bai Tiandi and the onlookers, his back suddenly looked so tall and mighty.
