Hearing the young girl's statement that was full of resolve, the handsome young man's face darkened. As the young master of the Sheng Xuan House, he has always gotten what he wanted when he asked. All the women he laid his eyes on have had to listen to him and wait for him in his bed.

But before his eyes, this woman would rather die with the Demonic Highness than be with him. Why wouldn't he be enraged?

"Dammit, what is so good about that son of a b!tch Ling Xian? He is merely a thief who took our treasure!" The handsome young man's fury burned and his face twisted. It wasn't for certain whether he hated this young woman or if he was jealous of Ling Xian.

"Screw you!"

The young woman's face was furious as she shouted, "Don't think of me as the same as an idiotic ordinary mortal. You are the ones who killed and stole, yet you dampen the Demonic Highness' reputation by accusing him of stealing. You are far too shameless!"

"So they are talking about me."

Ling Xian, who was sitting on top of an ancient tree, frowned slightly. He didn't expect to gain the nickname the "Demonic Highness" after his death. Plus, after hearing what this girl had to say, it seemed like the Houses and Clans were determined to taint his image.

"Interesting. I cannot believe that I would encounter such an unfair matter right after my revival."

Ling Xian's expression calmed down. He originally didn't want to fight and find trouble for himself. But this matter concerned him. He couldn't just sit there and do nothing.

Just as he thought it over, the handsome young man lost his patience and laughed ferociously. "You want to die with that son of a b*tch? I will not fulfill your wish! I am going to kill you right now!"

Then, he threw a punch and powerful Qi howled out!

This made the young woman's face turn pale white. She was only at the intermediate stage of the foundational level. Though the handsome young man wasn't a good man of any sort, he was already at the intermediate stage of the completion level.

If he wasn't so determined on playing around with her, she wouldn't have survived until now.

Now that the handsome young man has decided to attack, there was no way she could block it.

"Dammit, I can't even die alongside the Demonic Highness?"

The girl's face was scary white. Like leaves in the wind, her fragile body was falling apart. Her hopeless face made even the God pity her.

However, the young man felt no such emotions. All he could feel was ruthlessness and excitement.

"Do you have to mention the Demonic Highness every other sentence? He is already a dead man, how he can be better than me?" The handsome young man's face was grotesque looking. He threw down a punch that aimed to press down the young woman. He carried with him, hatred and jealousy.

"Die!"

Against this attack, the young woman closed her eyes hopelessly and her body began to tremble severely. However, she did not beg for forgiveness nor did she kneel down. Though her body was quivering, she remained unmoving like a pine tree.

This made Ling Xian's eyes flash with color and he became determined to save her. This entire situation was linked to himself, even if it wasn't, he would help her because of her steady heart.

Therefore, when the punch was three inches away from the girl's head, he shredded open space.

Wooosh!

A loud rumble pierced through the sky. Then, the palm landed, ripping apart the earth and shocking all the animals nearby.

The woman was no longer to be seen after that.

This made the handsome young man's face drop. He stared deadly at Ling Xian with coldness in his eyes.

"I… I am not dead?"

The woman opened her eyes blankly and found herself inside the embrace of a handsome young man. His strong arms were holding onto her waist and she could clearly hear his heart thump. This made her blush and she struggled her way out of his hug, "Thank you… thank you for saving my life."

Ling Xian brandished his hand. Then, he shifted his gaze towards the sleek haired young man and made a statement that silenced the entire place.

"Disappear before my eyes within three breaths time and I will spare your life."

The young man was stunned at those words and so was the woman.

They all thought that Ling Xian was a powerful cultivator. If he wasn't, why would he dare show himself? But after investigating him with their Qi, they found that he was an ordinary man without any Qi!

He was a handicap!

This made the young man laugh out loud. "Haha, you are a mortal without spiritual energy and you dare to speak to me in such a manner? How laughable."

The woman did not laugh, but her gaze held worry and pity. She didn't think this extraordinary young man was such an idiot.

He had no Qi but dared to threaten a completion leveled powerhouse. This wasn't courage, this was idiocy!

"Eh?"

Ling Xian frowned slightly then shook his head in laughter. He had forgotten that his Qi was dormant and that to others, he was just a mortal.

Those without spiritual energy, to the general population, were equivalent to being handicapped.

"What a joke! This is the funniest joke I've ever heard!"

The young man seemed very sarcastic as he continued, "A handicap without Qi dares to try and save the beauty? Young man, I have to say, your way of seeking death is strange."

Ling Xian softly glared at him. "I will ask you one more time – leave. If you don't, then leave behind your life."

"I now know not only are you a handicap, but you are also a moron." The young man laughed in disdain. The way he looked at Ling Xian was the same way he would look at a dead man.

The young woman did the same. The difference was that she was more worried.

She couldn't figure out how there can be someone so stupid in this world. He was obviously a handicap and yet he dared to threaten a completion leveled powerhouse. Is he that impatient to die?

"Mister, I will buy you some time with my life. Leave right now."

The young woman walked until she was in front of Ling Xian. Foundational leveled Qi spewed out as she attempted to fight against the completion leveled cultivator before her.

What a pity though. Her foundation leveled Qi appeared so laughable right now. Of course, no matter how laughable it was, it was better than Ling Xian's.

He threatened a completion leveled cultivator without spiritual energy. To anyone, that was a hilarious joke.

"Leave, now."

Ling Xian gently nudged the young woman. Not wasting another word with the young man, he said, "If you don't leave within three breaths, I will send you on your way."

Then, he spoke out the first number.

"One."

"Haha, I admire your bravery. Sadly, you are far too stupid!" The young man laughed out loud, not taking this seriously.

Against this, Ling Xian's expression was calm and he uttered out a second number.

"Two."

The young man's expression darkened. Other than sarcasm in his eyes, there was merely killer's intent.

"Young man, you sure are impatient to die. Stop counting. I will send you down to hell right now."

Then, he walked towards Ling Xian with a smirk. Every step he took, his Qi enhanced a bit.

This made the young woman's face turn white and her eyes were full of hopelessness.

"You all need to die!"

The young man sneered. His two fists, heavy like mountains, aimed towards Ling Xian and the young woman.

Immediately, the girl felt hopeless. Her lips revealed a pitiful smile.

Just as she felt hopeless, she somehow saw the handicap extend an arm.

This made her uncertain whether she should cry or laugh.

He was a handicap without Qi and yet he dared to fight against those of the completion level. That is far too stupid. But she felt too lazy to call him out. After all, she wasn't going to escape death today.

Just as she stood still and got ready to welcome death, she heard a loud shriek.

The handsome young man's shriek.

Then, the young woman saw in awe, how the young man's hands and arms were all crushed into pieces.
