Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek

"The Third Prince, accept your death!"

After a cold statement, Ling Xian landed before the Third Prince. Without the slightest hesitation, his Halberd of the Divine Warrior swept across!

BOOOM!

The invisible prowess of the Halberd headed straight towards the Third Prince's head.

"Hmmph, die!"

The Third Prince lived up to his undefeatable title. Against the sudden attack, he did not fluster. Forming a hand seal, he summoned the silhouette of a real dragon. Lifting an infinite amount of heavenly energy with its tail, it greeted the Halberd of the Divine Warrior!

Booom!

After a loud rumble, both sides felt the attacks and stepped back three steps.

"You sure live up to your name. The Third Prince, you are strong!"

Ling Xian's expression turned serious. After that attack juts now, he had detected that the Third Prince was in the advanced stage of the completion level!

"You are not so bad yourself."

The Third Prince had a dark expression as an infinite amount of heavenly light poured out of his body, making him look like a ruler who looked down on all.

The old saying goes, enemies get especially red-eyed when they meet. The Third Prince had always hated Ling Xian. Meeting him here made him explode with killer's intent and turned this area into a frigid winter.

Ling Xian reacted just the same. His horrifying killer's intent poured out of him and blanketed the entire earth and sky!

"If I am not wrong, this is our first official meeting. And the first time we are legitimately battling." Ling Xian revealed a faint smile, but his gaze was unfriendly.

"You are not wrong."

The Third Prince's expression was just as cold, "I did not think that our first meeting will end up with one of us dead."

"What can we do? You will not let me go." The corner of Ling Xian's lips lifted, "But this is good. Let us fight and end the seven year-long resentment."

"You read my mind."

The Third Prince's face turned serious. After that rebuttal, he realized Ling Xian's abilities and didn't dare to be reckless.

"Then…"

The corner of Ling Xian's lips lifted as undefeatable amount of Qi rushed out of him and engulfed the entire palace. The power of it all was as if an immortal was descending!

"Fight me!"

"So what you have the aura of being undefeatable? Does it mean you are truly undefeatable?" The Third Prince snickered. An equal levelled spiritual energy poured out and brought astonishment to all living beings!

The hatred between the two had been accumulated for a long time. Even if their hatred had lasted, the anger they felt towards each other had reached a boiling point.

Thus, they didn't need to waste anymore words. They only needed to fight!

"Today, we must decide who survives and who dies!"

Yelling, Ling Xian transformed into an undefeatable Warrior of War. His black hair tussled in the wind, making him appear extraordinary and soldierly bearing!

His rage against the Third prince had raised to its peak and there was only one way to relieve it. Also, if he wanted to kill a Prince in the Capital, he cannot waste any time!

Thus, he didn't hesitate and straight away dialed up the Halberd's abilities. That strong sweep just now made even the sky wail!

"I will make you understand that you are simply an annoyed clown. I can easily suppress you!"

The Third Prince was very handsome and had made many women cry. However, his face right now appeared very ferocious and heartless!

HOOMMM!

Seven dragons' silhouettes the size of his arms appeared around him and complemented his angry stance. Raising up his arm, his dragon shocked the entire space!

From this, it became obvious how powerful this man was. It was no wonder he had the title of being the best or his generation in the Zhou Dynasty!

"I do not understand. I merely killed a part of you. Why will you not let me go?" Ling Xian was fearless in response. He diminished the silhouette of the dragon and pointed his Halberd at the Third Prince.

"Hmmph!"

The Third Prince coldly scorned. The Qi of the dragons' silhouettes protected him against the Halberd. Then, his hand sliced across and a spear appeared in his hand.

"Dumbass! Do you know what kind of status I have? Even if it was only a part of me, you only have the right to kneel down to it! How dare you act without order before it!"

Listening to this presumptuous statement, Ling Xian's anger boiled and his movements became more violent. He vowed to end the Prince's life here and now!

"You ant, die!"

The Third Prince shouted out loud. The Qi from the seven dragons combined into one and merged into the golden spear. Immediately, his weapon's capabilities increased exponentially. Like a real dragon, its energy pierced through the void!

"Third Prince, since you are so arrogant, then I will walk all over your face!"

Ling Xian's hair stood up from anger. A shiny mirror appeared above his head and emitted giant waves of dizzying amount of light. It diminished the silhouette of the dragon before it dashed towards the Third Prince!

"Haha, idiot. So what you get rid of the silhouette? The more you do that, the stronger my spear gets!"

The Third Prince laughed presumptuously. The seven silhouettes reappeared and entered the spear. Immediately, the spear levelled again.

"A secret royal technique."

Ling Xian frowned but he was not flustered nor was he scared. His eyes flickered and murky air began to emerge. The Halberd of the Divine Warrior transformed into the Zither of the Crouching Dragon.

Ding…

One sound turned the world upside down!

"That should be the legendary Zither of the Crouching Dragon. It should be your strongest transformative quality."

The Third Prince was a little taken aback but he had nothing to fear. As the royal son of the Zhou Dynasty, he had learned all the best techniques in Yunzhou. With his capability, why would he be scared?

Remember that he is the number one in his generation. His capabilities are powerful enough to make others hopeless!

"The strongest? If you think this is my strongest, then let it be my strongest."

Ling Xian was emotionless as he placed both of his hands on top of the zither. Then, he once again played the heaven shattering song!

The Song of the Crouching Dragon!

Ding… ding…

Once one note was played, thousands of notes erupted. The Crouching Dragon song once again emerged like a sky tall wave that was limitless in power!

"The Song of the Crouching Dragon is truly powerful. But I am still the most powerful in the Zhou Dynasty. In terms of techniques, I will not lose to anyone. Why would I be afraid of you?"

The Third Prince had a look of disdain as his fingers drew shapes in the air. Instantly, invisible power descended. Then, blades of small knives appeared in the sky. All of them were sharp as they headed towards Ling Xian.

"Then, why don't you try."

Then, Ling Xian began to pluck at the zither. Every single note turned aggressive and greeted the sharp blades.

Ding, ding, ding!

The noises were unending. The notes from the zither were long like unending amount of water. The blades on the other end, were pouring down like rain. The two of them clashed into each other endlessly and destroyed each other.

It was a stalemate!

Ling Xian and the Third Prince frowned at this. They didn't think their respective techniques would be so powerful.

This was normal. One was a legendary ancient zither. The other was the royal secret technique. It was difficult to judge which one was superior.

"Lower than an entire stage than me… yet we tied…" The Third Prince exclaimed to himself quietly. He gritted his teeth, "I cannot let him live!"

Then, as Ling Xian paused his playing, the Third Prince sent the golden spear flying in an attempt to kill him!

"You underestimate me. Leave!"

After a loud scream, Ling Xian's body exploded with strength and immediately forced the Third Prince to step back three steps.

However, just at this moment, the injuries he sustained from forcefully playing the zither finally showed themselves. In that second, his face turned pale and blood dripped down his chin.

"Haha, you dare to try and fight when you are injured? Die!"

Seeing this, the Third Prince arrogantly laughed. His spear was aimed at Ling Xian and a terrifying atmosphere was established.

He was the number one of his generation in the Zhou Dynasty. His capabilities were naturally insane. Now that he was giving it all, the entire area was trembling. Because Ling Xian was also injured at this moment, that one attack of his could end up fatal!

"Dammit! Why did my injury choose this moment to show itself!"

Ling Xian felt the killer's intent across from him and realized that he can no longer hide. Or else he will die under the Third Prince's spear!

"Third Prince, if this was 10 days ago, then the Song of the Crouching Dragon would be my strongest technique. But now, let me show you, what defines an unparalleled great technique!"

Smirking, Ling Xian ditched the Zither and his body suddenly began to emit light. His fists in particular, were as bright as the Sun!

At the same time, a powerful vigor was created. It bounced between the sky and the earth, and changed the direction of the wind!

"This is…"

Feeling the aura of a beast awakening, the Third Prince's expression changed. He wanted to retrieve his spear, but it was out of his hands. He merely hoped that he can kill Ling Xian with that one hit.

One has to admit that the spear of his was insanely overpowering. Any cultivator of the advanced stage of the completion level would find it hard to resist. Let alone an injured completion levelled cultivator in the intermediate stage.

But of course, how can you judge Ling Xian using regular logic?

At this very moment, his hands were tightened into undefeatable fists that were exploding with heavenly power. He unleashed punch that was doomed to create a hole in the sky!

It was an attack that was hard to describe and of course, difficult to predict. All one needs to know is that the moment the fist is released, the earth will shake and the sky will move!

Instantly, the spear, under the watchful of the Third Prince, crumbled into pieces.

In the next second, fresh blood was puked out. The Third Prince, collapsed like he was merely a pile of bones.

"To die under this technique is an honor of yours."

Ling Xian was emotionless as he glared at the Third Prince like he was the ruler of all beings. He had no need to think highly of anyone.

With the prowess he was emitting, he truly did not have to think highly of the Third Prince.

The Third prince was the number one of his generation. He was powerful enough to make everyone his age hopeless. Even the powerhouses from the older generation were no opponents of his!

But the moment Ling Xian performed his Disorder Conquering Immortal Fists, the result had been established.

The secret royal technique was very powerful, maybe even powerful enough to wipe out clans and make one a ruler of the century!

"Third Prince, die!"

In the next moment, Ling Xian's hair began to dance in the wind. Like an undefeatable immortal, his demeanor could swallow the earth!

Especially after he released the Immortal Fists, his demeanor turned even more threatening. One could assume that even if a real immortal was here, they would be smeared into pieces by Ling Xian!
