Chapter 549 Battle King
"Waste?"
Ling Chen muttered the term.
It had been a while since he last heard this familiar label.
Back in the day, when he failed his awakening, that's how the people of the Ling Family referred to him!
Afterwards, he stared at Xia Biluo, and mildly said:
"I'm the waste? In Emperor Yan Realm, you couldn't even deal with me, does that not make you a waste as well?"
"I'm a waste? I received the Emperor's Inheritance, while you only got the King's Inheritance! By that logic, are you not even lesser than a waste?"
"I wonder, what right does someone like you, who prides himself as a genius, have to mock me here?"
Xia Biluo's face turned instantly livid after being ridiculed by Ling Chen, leaving him with no ground to argue.
With gritted teeth, he glared at Ling Chen, taking a long time before finally saying: "The inheritance you received is indeed better than mine, but I am able to ascend to King, whereas you remain stuck in the Primordial Pill Realm. With this alone, are you not a waste?"
"Ignorant and narrow-minded!"
Ling Chen let out a sneer, not bothering to argue.
The Emperor's Inheritance he received wasn't meant to improve cultivation levels in a short period of time.
Because it would affect the foundation of cultivation.
In Green Lotus Throne, ascending to Palace Mansion Realm King is still seen as a way of external enhancement, similar to using Elixirs for breakthroughs, without any difference.
For people like Xia Biluo with limited talent, such methods of breakthrough are suitable.
Yet, not only does he possess two Sacred Bodies, he also has the Green Lotus Ancient Vein, and is destined to become a Great Emperor in the future.
Enhancing in such a manner would only waste his potential.
Only the natural breakthrough at the ripe time won't be a waste.
Xia Biluo takes no shame in this, but rather pride; truly, he's the epitome of ignorance.
A mere bumpkin, Ling Chen has no desire to stoop to his level.
"Who are you calling ignorant and narrow-minded?"
Xia Biluo retorted sharply.
Like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Who is he?
He is the reigning Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty!
These four words are what he uses to label others.
Never did he expect Ling Chen to use them to describe him; how could he not be furious?
"You're erudite and splendidly knowledgeable, understanding both the heavens and the earth, alright?"
Ling Chen rolled his eyes.
Had it not been for Xia Jiuyou waiting in the wings outside, he would definitely have taught Xia Biluo a lesson, even taking delight in slaying him afterward.
Though the presence of Lord Yan Huang is intimidating, he cannot be sure that in a fit of rage, Xia Jiuyou wouldn't do something unthinkable.
Now that Lord Yan Huang has fallen into a slumber, if Xia Jiuyou makes a move, it's feared no one could help him!
In the darkness of the night, they have Ji Wuya, a King, but when measured against Xia Jiuyou, he's slightly inferior in strength.
Hence, he does not wish to provoke Xia Biluo.
It's better to wait until Liu Qingcang and Ling Wu come out of their seclusion to return to the Dark Realm together.
Upon hearing these words, Xia Biluo's expression became cold as ice.
Ling Chen's words were clearly tinged with mockery.
Ever since his ascension to King, he had not planned to let Ling Chen off. Now that he had the chance, naturally he had to test the waters.
To test whether that Emperor will protect Ling Chen.
If the Emperor does not intervene, then he does not mind taking the Emperor's Inheritance that Ling Chen received for himself, and then killing Ling Chen afterward.
After all, the enmity between Ling Chen and the Great Xia Royal Family has already reached a point of irreconcilable death.
Moreover, such an inheritance, if it ended up in his hands, would undoubtedly be much better than being wasted on Ling Chen.
He might even have a chance to become an Emperor who surpasses Kings in the future!
"Ling Chen, make yourself clear! Otherwise, I don't mind teaching you a lesson," Xia Biluo said coldly.
As for slaying Ling Chen, he dare not at the moment.
Because he's not sure whether the terrifying Emperor in the Emperor Yan Realm will take action.
And in the future, there will be other opportunities to kill Ling Chen.
For instance, after the Emperor Yan Realm disappears.
But now is definitely not the time to kill Ling Chen.
"Teach me a lesson?"
Ling Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he said coldly, "You are not worthy!"
Although Xia Biluo is a Palace Mansion Realm King, while he is only a Primordial Pill Realm Cultivator.
But in terms of strength, Xia Biluo is not his equal.
Even if Xia Biluo hadn't been stripped of the Green Lotus Sword Manual, Ling Chen would dare to battle with him.
Because his Green Lotus Bloodline has truly awakened.
With the addition of the Green Lotus Bloodline, his Green Lotus Sword Qi would become even more astonishingly powerful.
What's more, Xia Biluo can no longer even practice the Green Lotus Sword Qi, can he?
As for other King Spirit Techniques, Xia Biluo might practice them but may not necessarily succeed in cultivating them.
"Hmph!"
Listening to Ling Chen's arrogant words, Xia Biluo let out a cold snort and a sneer appeared on his face, saying, "For that comment alone, I must teach you a lesson!"
"Boom!"
Xia Biluo is body shook, and the aura of the Palace Mansion Realm instantly pressed down on Ling Chen.
Feeling the drawn swords and tense atmosphere, the crowd was shocked and everyone turned excitedly to watch. Reader support at M*VLEM*PYR made this translation possible.
One of them is the Prince of Great Xia, the other the Dark Night Young Master.
The two powers have long been at loggerheads.
"The King Biluo wants to establish his might!"
Someone spoke out.
A King versus a Primordial Pill Realm Cultivator, the outcome of this battle needs no watching, for it's already determined!
Ling Chen is bound to lose!
Among the crowd, there were also Dark Night Cultivators.
Their eyes, filled with worry, looked toward Ling Chen.
The Young Master is challenging a Palace Mansion Realm King, it's practically suicide!
"Is that so?"
Ling Chen's Spiritual Power erupted like a volcano within him, and he stared at Xia Biluo with a cold voice, "I'd like to see what this newly promoted King has that qualifies him to teach me a lesson?"
"Hehe!"
Xia Biluo let out a cold laugh, "Then open your dog's eyes wide and watch carefully!"
He was curious to see what kind of inheritance Ling Chen had acquired that made him daring enough to contend with a genuine Palace Mansion Realm King like him.
Xia Biluo reached out with a large hand, and the Palace Mansion Realm level Spiritual Power roared and instantly condensed into a stream of Sword Qi.
As the Sword Qi formed, the Spiritual Energy within a radius of ten miles surged madly toward it.
All of it condensed on the Sword Qi.
In an instant, the Sword Qi swelled to nearly a hundred zhang tall.
"Slash!"
Xia Biluo waved his hand, and the ferocious Sword Qi slashed furiously towards Ling Chen.
"Is this the power of a Palace Mansion Realm King?"
Many people looked on with eyes filled with shock.
Such an attack, if it were them, they absolutely would not be able to withstand.
"Not even using Spirit Art, you're truly arrogant!"
Ling Chen sneered.
Within his Dantian space, a stream of Green Lotus Sword Qi was instantly summoned.
Then, with a swing of his right hand, the Sword Qi that was only a few zhang long met the nearly hundred zhang tall Sword Qi head-on.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Xia Biluo scoffed.
He was employing genuine Palace Mansion Realm level Spiritual Power, and he had also mobilized nature's spiritual energy, something ordinary Spirit Arts could not contend with.
Ling Chen didn't even use a weapon, thinking he could catch his attack was pure folly.
"Boom!"
Very soon, the two completely different Sword Qis collided in mid-air, at first, the heavens and earth fell eerily silent, then a thunderous noise erupted.
Just when everyone thought Xia Biluo's Sword Qi would shatter Ling Chen's Sword Qi like rotting wood, a strange scene occurred.
The two Sword Qis were stuck in a stalemate in the sky.
