Painting of the Nine Immortals

Chapter 749: Repression

Translator: _Tat_ Editor: Rundi

In the sky, Ling Xian had his white robe on and he held onto his heavenly sword. Suspending proudly in midair, he mimicked a matchless immortal that garnered everyone’s respect.

The moment the demon saw him, he acted like a rat who had just encountered a cat. His body shook in fear and this drastic reaction made everyone think of Ling Xian as an immortal who just landed!

To the demon, Ling Xian was exactly that!

He wasn’t fearful of Ling Xian, but he feared the Demon Defending Monument to the extreme. Therefore, he didn’t dare to disobey what Ling Xian had to ask and quickly faked a smile.

His bright expression did not reveal a trace of arrogance. Instead, it was full of carefulness.

“I am very satisfied with that smile. Hold it.”

Ling Xian grinned as well. “Demon, it’s been at least a decade since we last saw each other.”

“Yes. Though time has passed, you are looking even more mature and your temperament is getting even more extraordinary.” The demon’s face was stuffed with smiles and was almost blossoming like a flower.

The good manner in that smile made everyone question if he was still that terrifying demon. What’s with the contrast?

One second, he was a horrifying demon that allowed nobody to offend him. Yet now, he was doing whatever he could to please the man before him while his body quivered.

His willingness to bend forward and back shocked everyone and made them laugh.

“There is no need to flatter me.”

Ling Xian erased the smile on his face and glared at the demon, “What is it... 100 concubines isn’t enough? You even feel the need to kidnap the City Leader?”

“Hehe, how can 100 women be enough? I am well practiced with cultivation and only female cultivators of the original level can handle me.” The demon laughed. He did not pick up the coldness in Ling Xian’s tone.

“What if I order you to let her go?”

Speaking slowly, Ling Xian stared directly at the demon. The Demon Defending Monument continued to exude enough terror to repress everything in the world.

Seeing this, fear flashed across the demon’s face. However, he realized quickly that there was no reason for him to be scared.

They made a pact before. As long as he helps Ling Xian do three favors, then it’s even between them. Why did he fear him so much?

After realizing this, the fear on the demon’s face disappeared without a trace. He announced shamelessly, “That’s a no go. I have made up my decision. Why would I change it?”

“Why would you change it?”

The corner of Ling Xian’s lips curled up as he played around with the black monument inside his palm, “Demon, what did you just say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”

“Hehe, there is no need to threaten me with the Demon Defending Monument. Back then, we had made a pact that after three favors, you would let me go. Could it be that you want to break a promise?”

The demon snickered and held onto his fearless look.

“You are right. Back then, I did say I would let you go. I followed through and I did not threaten you again.”

Ling Xian had a taunting look on his face. Staring at the now cocky demon, he said something that surprised the demon.

“But I never made the promise that the next time I see you, I wouldn’t use the Demon Defending Monument to repress you.”

At those words, the demon fell into awe and his proudness froze on his face.

What do you mean? You are still going to repress me with the Demon Defending Monument while not breaking your promise?

What the actual f!ck!

The demon cursed silently and his hair stood up on its end. Terrifying Qi continued to pour out and shake up the entire area.

“There is no need to be so angry. If you give up the leader of the City of Flowers, then we can still be friends.” Ling Xian faintly smiled, looking gentle.

However, to the demon, his expression was a solid threat. As much as he was scared, he was also furious.

“F!ck you! I have no desire to be your friend!”

“No desire?”

Ling Xian was not mad, but he looked at the demon seriously and said in a serious tone, “Are you sure?”

“No sh!t!”

The demon’s anger had shot up into his brain and he had lost all ability to think logically. Therefore, ignoring all consequences, he screamed at Ling Xian continuously.

“I am very certain that I do not want to be your friend and I am certain that you cannot defeat me!”

Hearing this, Ling Xian did not speak nor did he get mad. He merely summoned the Demon Defending Monument again.

Then, an unbelievable scene occurred.

Spiritual energy was rolling up into the sky. The demon, whom had the ability to make Hua Wan Yue look useless, became absolutely defenseless before the Demon Defending Monument. The demon transformed into a dot of light and was sucked inside.

At once, agonizing and heart shredding cries echoed throughout.

“AH!!! You actually dare to repress me! I am so furious!”

“F*ck!! Ling Xian, I hope you die painfully!”

“I am in so much pain ahhh!!! This agony!!!”

Agonizing cries kept on echoing throughout space, shocking everyone.

The powerful demon who defeated the City Leader was tamed so easily?

This was far too unbelievable!

Everyone was feeling surprised as all gazes became fixated on Ling Xian. Other than awe, only respect remained.

He was an original leveled cultivator!

Hua Wan Yue and the city’s array could not stop him. But before their eyes, he was acting defenseless and was immediately absorbed by Ling Xian’s monument. Why wouldn’t these people be surprised?

Even Hua Wan Yue was shocked to the extreme. Though she knew very well how capable the Demon Defending Monument was, she was also very aware of how terrifying the demon was.

Therefore, watching the demon to be absorbed inside in a split second astounded her as well!

“It is no wonder this young man is fearless. The Demon Defending Monument is the nemesis of all demons after all.”

Looking at the smiling young man, Hua Wan Yue revealed how shocked she was and her eyes flickered strangely.

“Demon, how does it feel to be burned by Demon Defending Flames?”

Ling Xian spoke softly and slowly. Looking at the Demon Defending Monument, he continued, “If you beg for forgiveness, I will let you out.”

“You are dreaming! AHHHHHHH!”

The demon continued to cry out in pain. At first, he was cursing at Ling Xian continuously, but after some time had passed, he couldn’t endure it anymore.

All of his humiliating vocabulary turned into compliments and words that begged for forgiveness.

“I was wrong. I was wrong. Please let me out.”

“Master, you are a great man with a broad heart. Please don’t play with someone little like me.”

“Ah, let me out. I really cannot endure this anymore.”

The demon continued to cry out in pain and begged for forgiveness.

“Remember, after you come out, don’t provoke me anymore,” Ling Xian said softly. He then let the demon out.

When he reappeared, he got everyone’s cheers.

His clothes was ripped and his breathing was weak. His entire being turned into a pitiful beggar. His arrogant attitude had disappeared without a trace.

“See, why did you have to do that before? You forced me to repress you, hurting our relationship.” Ling Xian softly smiled. What he had said angered the demon greatly.

F!ck you!

[What relationship? I have no desire to be your friend!]

The demon cursed silently. However, after being tortured by the Demon Defending Monument, even if someone lends him courage, he wouldn’t dare to express any dissatisfaction now.

“If you complied earlier, you wouldn’t have had to suffer.”

Ling Xian spoke softly and stared at the barely breathing demon, “Now, do you want to be my friend?”

“Yes, yes, yes. I... It would be an honor for me to be your friend.”

The demon nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

“Very well.”

Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction, “Then... do you still want to take the leader of the City of Flowers?”
