Painting of the Nine Immortals

Chapter 951: A Clone

Translator: Tat Editor: Rundi

Ling Xian was far too lazy to waste anymore words with Bai Yuan. He hurriedly attacked and killed Bai Yuan!

However, after Bai Yuan’s body was smashed into pieces by him, it did not turn into a fog of blood. Instead, it turned into a wave of air that evaporated into the world.

“A clone?”

Ling Xian raised an eyebrow, surprised.

The other three Heaven’s Favorites were surprised as well. They weren’t aware that Bai Yuan was merely a clone.

Normally speaking, once a cultivator reaches the completion level, they can use their body to form a clone. However, the clone itself is drastically different from its actual self.

They have all fought against Bai Yuan and therefore, are aware of his capabilities. Now that this person turned out to be a mere clone, everyone was naturally super shocked.

But after thinking about it, they were fine with it.

The reason why they never noticed this was merely a clone was because he had flesh, had blood, had emotions, and had capabilities. It was no different than the actual person.

To not notice under this circumstance was normal.

Then, they all shifted their gaze towards Ling Xian. Their eyes were heavy.

Though this was merely a clone, they knew that this clone was basically the same as its original self and just as strong. Though it was probably a little bit weaker, it was just as strong as they were.

Yet this clone had been killed by Ling Xian. Why wouldn’t everyone feel heavy about this?

This capability meant they had to treat this person seriously!

“Interesting. Similar to what I did before with my clone, this is also a clone that is on par with the original cultivator.”

Ling Xian smiled. He didn’t feel much. He had once formed a clone that was the same as his original self, so he didn’t feel this was strange.

Then, he shifted his gaze towards the three others. “It looks like there’s another fight to fight.”

“Make your move. I, Han Jiang Xue, fear no one.”

Han Jiang Xue’s was emotionless. Snowflakes twirled around her body, looking soft but was full of killer’s intent and was incomparably sharp.

Song Li’s palms were up and the Flame of Nan Ming Li burned greatly. The high temperature warmed everything around him.

“Three Frozen Lotuses… even if we split them evenly, there is someone who cannot get one.”

Nan Gong Huai Yu grinned and pointed his heavenly sword at Ling Xian, “as the last one who showed up, I think it would be for the best if you give it up.”

“If you have all gotten your hands on the Frozen Lotuses, I would leave right now without a second word.”

Ling Xian was emotionless, “But right now, the Frozen Lotuses are without owners. You want me to retreat? In your dreams.”

“Then I will have to convince you with violence.”

Nan Gong Huai Yu smirked and moved his gaze over to Song Li and Han Jiang Xue, “Our capabilities are on par with each other. Even if we do end up establishing a winner, the other side would be injured greatly. I say, we should split the lotuses, one each. What do you think?”

“That’s a good suggestion.” Han Jiang Xue said.

Song Li nodded softly, agreeing to this suggestion.

“Very well. Then let’s take care of this person.” Nan Gong Huan Yu chuckled playfully and pointed his long sword at Ling Xian.

At once, killer’s intent swirled and shot through the cloud.

Ling Xian’s expression darkened as well.

Though Bai Yuan was merely a clone, its capabilities was basically the same as his original level. Therefore, Ling Xian was already injured at this point.

But, Ling Xian was confident that he can defend himself for a little while.

Therefore, he stepped forward and bloody energy howled. At the same time, he hand signaled to Huang Jiu Ge, gesturing for her to take the Frozen Lotuses when she sees the chance.

“You sure have some guts. Sadly, you have no capability.”

Nan Gong Huai Yu mocked. He snapped his wrist and sword rays pierced through the air, sharp as ever.

Ling Xian merely rolled his sleeves and gold light swept out, destroying all the light rays. Then, he attacked aggressively, mimicking a God of Battle.

He planned on fighting against three Heaven’s Favorites by himself!

His fearless stance startled everyone.

It didn’t matter what the end result will be. His stance alone was not something everyone possesses. After all, he was against three Heaven’s Favorites!

HOMMM!

A great battle exploded. Ling Xian, like an ancient beast, approached the enemies. The Disorder Conquering Fists surrounded the three of them!

The three Heaven’s Favorites’ expressions froze. They all lifted their hands to attack with a limitless amount of energy!

HOMM, HOMM, HOMM!

Han Qing Xue’s hands moved around and snowflakes filled the air, revealing their sharpness.

Song Li’s fingers danced lightly and the Flame of Nan Ming Li howled.

“Get the f!ck out of my way!”

Shouting, more energy exploded out of Ling Xian and blocked out the three Heaven’s Favorites. The next second, he initiated an attack and the Disorder Conquering Fists displayed themselves again.

HOMMM!

Energy howled, his heavenly fists were undefeatable, terrifying vibrations rolled out, startling heaven and earth!

Ling Xian moved aggressively and his black hair crazily tussled in the wind. He had stopped the three Heaven’s Favorites by himself. Despite his seemingly offensive attacks, he was mostly guarding.

His intention was to strap the three Heaven’s Favorites and create an opportunity for Huang Jiu Ge.

“You sure overestimate yourself, die!”

Nang Gong Huai Yu’s sword was violent and like a snake, it was flexible as well. Every single jab was fatal.

The other two Heaven’s Favorites were not so kind themselves. Every move displayed their heaven defying powerfulness!

Ling Xian was now immensely stressed and he was now certain that he was no opponent of the three of them. Luckily, he had no plan to win.

Therefore, he focused on being defensive to delay the others. Despite so, his blood tumbled inside him as he found it difficult to fend against the others.

What could he do? Everyone was far too strong. Any one of them is on par with himself. Right now, the three of them were attacking as an alliance. Even though he was young and powerful, he could not win!

This made him want to successfully transform even more. But right now, he could only do whatever he can to try and stop the three Heaven’s Favorites.

Just as the four of them began a battle, a white silhouette sliced across the sky and at a crazy speed, it snatched away the three lotuses.

Then, it dashed towards the southeast direction.

“Who is it! Die!”

Nan Gong Huai Yu raised an eyebrow. He unleashed a sword ray that pierced through the sky.

At the same time, Song Li and Han Jiang Xue attacked as well in an unstoppable manner.

“I am still here, who are you trying to go after?”

Ling Xian reappeared before the three of them and stopped all of their attacks.

“Dammit, that was your accomplice!”

Nan Gong Huai Yue’s expression was heavy as his sword emitted more killer’s intent that was chilling.

“Smart. Sadly, you realized too late.”

Ling Xian sighed in relief. Huang Jiu Ge had taken the Frozen Lotuses, which means his goal was achieved. What needs to happen next is simple.

Honestly, he was no opponent of these three. But if he wants to escape nobody can stop him!

“The Frozen Lotuses are gone. But you are still here. Repay me with your life!”

Nan Gong Huai Yu was furious. As a top notch Heaven’s Favorite, he had allowed someone to steal right before his eyes. This was like someone was slapping him in the face.

Therefore, why wouldn’t he be furious?

Han Jiang Xue and Song Li reacted the same. They attacked simultaneously and vowed to kill Ling Xian there and then!
