Painting of the Nine Immortals

Chapter 487: Deliria

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Fish_Creek

Inside the gold room, Xue Yu Chan's determination was boiling. Her entire aura faced an instant change.

The way she was just now was similar to Ling Xian, like the descendant of an immortal, extraordinary and divine. The way she is now, is like a sharp sword that could easily slice the sky away from the heaven!

It was obvious that she had been traumatized and knocked out.

What could she do? Ling Xian's array lifting speed was insane. Any array master would have be questioning themselves after witnessing that. The difference is that for some, they would fall into dismay and dread and give up forever.

Others would have their determination ignited and they would vow to keep up to Ling Xian!

Without a doubt, Xue Yu Chan was the second type.

Thus, she calmed herself down and inspected the array using her Qi in hope of breaking it quickly and chasing after that man.

Sadly, breaking an array required absolute concentrate but in her mind, all she could think of was that handsome man's shadow.

A mere wave of the hand broke down all prohibitions caused by the array. What strategy did that man use?

Xue Yu Chan got more and more anxious as she thought about it. Her knowledge with arrays was never as profound as Ling Xian's. Plus, all she could think about was to quickly break the stupid array. How could she calm herself down and focus on breaking the array?

Because of this, she didn't perform in an outstanding manner. She didn't even reach her normal capabilities.

Originally, she needed merely an hour to break this array. But now, an hour had passed without her realizing it and she had only found three weaknesses about this array – a few steps away from completely breaking it.

"Dammit, is that guy really this capable? A brandish of a hand solved a problem even array masters get headaches over?"

Xue Yu Chan gritted her teeth. All she could think of was to quickly break the array and find that damned man.

She was a Heaven's Favorite after all and quickly realized that she was making a grave mistake. She organized her emotions and chased out the image of Ling Xian waving around his hand.

Though she was now calm, the shadow of what happened remained on her mind. It took her another half an hour to find the last weakness.

When she finally sighed in relief and performed the techniques needed to break the array, she was overpowered by her desire to quickly see Ling Xian and almost made a mistake. Once she calmed down again, it took her the strength of nine cows and two tigers to finally lift the prohibition array.

Crack!

After a soft thud, the gold wall automatically split open, revealing a crack that allowed one adult to pass through.

"Phew… finally…" Xue Yue Chan exhaled deeply and impatiently stepped into the crack.

Then, she saw Ling Xian leaning against the wall with his eyes tightly shut – as if thinking about something.

Seeing this, Xue Yu Chan snickered, "Damn you, let's see where you can run off to this time!"

"Hmm?"

Ling Xian was a little shocked as well. After seeing that familiar face, he grinned, "It took you two hours to lift the array. You dare to speak so arrogant under such speed?"

He wasted no time and once again waved his hand.

After another "crack", the array was lifted again.

"I will go first, you take your time."

Chuckling softly, Ling Xian marched out and under Xue Yu Chan's awed gaze, he disappeared again.

"I… You…"

Xue Yu Chan's beautiful eyes widened and she fell into stagnation again.

All she saw was that Ling Xian's hand moved around and a light emitted. Then, the prohibition lifted. The entire process was like a moving stream or moving cloud, smooth and fast. Its speed was unimaginably fast and its simplicity was unbelievable.

It was as if he wasn't solving an array that gave all array masters headaches, it was as if he was performing a simple action, like pushing open a door. A door that wasn't locked!

Godd@mn you!

Why are you so insane!

Xue Yu Chan was infuriated. She lost all her normal composure and forgot all about grace. She stomped her feet against the ground angrily.

Logically speaking, she was a Heaven's Favorite and thus should have a very calm mentality. Yet against an insane person who easily broke an array, she couldn't hold onto her composure.

"Damn that man. How can someone that insane exist? A wave of the hand broke the array? It's too hard to believe."

Xue Yu Chan gritted her teeth and her heart filled with anger and an unwillingness to give up. She has been practicing arrays since a young age and was extremely talented. Even an array master can rarely be of an equal level to her.

Yet here and now, a young man similar to her age could break an array instantaneously. How could this proud and arrogant girl accept this?

"I do not believe that in Yunzhou, there is a person from the younger generation who can surpass me?" Xue Yu Chan made a decision. She arrived before the gold wall and planned on continuing her pursuit.

Absorbing what she learned previously, she didn't try to break the array right away. Instead, she breathed in and out for hundreds of times. What she wanted was to chase out Ling Xian's glorious instantaneous-array-breaking-image, and to suppress her anger towards him.

After a while, she finally soothed down and focused on the array before her.

Once she focused, her was able to perform up to her normal standard. She used half an hour to find the weaknesses with the array before her. Then, she used techniques that tackled each and every one of those five weaknesses.

The entire process was smooth and was completely efficiently. From this, it became obvious that she was highly skillful.

After all, she had high enlightenment. If Ling Xian didn't disrupt her emotionally, she wouldn't have wasted so much time?

She wasn't bad, but she was just "not bad". Compared to Ling Xian, she fell behind by a lot.

This was seen through the speed they lifted the arrays. The Xue Yu Chan now, had utilized her normal skills and maybe was performing better than usual. Yet it took her an hour.

What about Ling Xian?

Mere seconds!

How big of a gap was this?

"I won't waste my time this time. The moment I step into the room, I will slaughter that guy!"

Xue Yu Chan breathed in deeply and organized the eagerness in her chest, as if what she was about to do will lead to a life and death situation. After she prepared a little, the confidence she normally had returned to her.

"Bastard, accept my adjudication."

Stepping out softly, Xue Yu Chan grinned confidently. She could already see the moment Ling Xian is defeated after she raises her hand.

Yet, after she stepped into the next room, her anger caused her to grit her teeth and her body trembled.

Because, all she saw, was a crack in the wall and a white silhouette disappearing.

What did this mean?

It meant Ling Xian sensed her incoming and lifted the array. He was too lazy to even deal with her.

"Damn you, you bastard! Don't let me catch you!"

Her normal collectedness was once again out the window. Xue Yu Chan was now green faced and could no longer repress her anger.

The terrifying Qi poured out of her in a way that would anger gods. It washed over the entire room!

Sadly, no matter how much energy she let out, the entire room remained unmoving and unharmed.

She was now shivering from anger and was going delirious.

"Bastard, I have to catch you!"
