Can Ye Immortal Emperor felt an urge to curse.
First, Xia Feng produced a divine artifact. That could be put aside for now. After all, Xia Feng's strength was already higher than his, and using him to test his sword was understandable.
The sword was tested, and then there was a little sister.
A little sister was fine. After all, Xia Feng's little sister deserved some face. When Bing Ling'er was summoned, Can Ye Immortal Emperor was indeed surprised by her early-stage Immortal Emperor cultivation.
He hadn't expected Xia Feng to have such a little sister. When he sensed that Bing Ling'er didn't have a human aura, he became curious.
Especially when Bing Ling'er said he was weak, Can Ye Immortal Emperor was infuriated.
Did I want to come?
Did I want to come here to be your training dummy?
Such good intentions were repaid with ingratitude.
He prepared to show Bing Ling'er that he wasn't that weak, but Bing Ling'er transformed instead, turning into the ancient fierce beast, the Qilin.
What's more, this Qilin was also at the early-stage Immortal Emperor realm. Now, by transforming into her true form, her strength had taken a qualitative leap. As for her physical toughness, he suspected his immortal artifact would be useless.
At this moment, Can Ye Immortal Emperor truly wanted to curse and vent his frustration.
Seeing Bing Ling'er transform into her true form, Xia Feng was determined to quickly defeat Can Ye Immortal Emperor.
It was an all-out effort from the start.
Bing Ling'er looked at Can Ye Immortal Emperor, her large blue eyes filled with a bloodthirsty glint.
Roar~~~
As the Qilin roared, the entire world trembled. Seeing this, Xia Feng quickly sealed off the surrounding space.
Bing Ling'er might not be mindful of her actions, and he didn't want her to accidentally harm innocent bystanders.
Can Ye Immortal Emperor's immortal energy surged upwards, and he swung his Ruyi Fan ceaselessly.
Bing Ling'er launched the first attack, her massive body like a towering mountain. Her front claws swept down as if to overturn the heavens, aimed at Can Ye Immortal Emperor.
Sensing Bing Ling'er's attack, Can Ye Immortal Emperor instantly unleashed his true essence. The heavens and earth seemed to change color, and all space was reshaped by Can Ye Immortal Emperor into another scene, another world.
This world had its own mountains, its own waters, its own everything.
This world enveloped Bing Ling'er, creating a sense of restraint. Endless true essence descended upon her.
Bing Ling'er was no longer the mere "Doudou" who used to only swat. After breaking through to Immortal Emperor, although she hadn't officially sparred, she had the techniques and movements taught to her by Xia Feng in her mind.
With a sweep of her sharp claws, Bing Ling'er created her own space, blocking all of Can Ye Immortal Emperor's attacks with a single swipe.
Roar....
After blocking Can Ye Immortal Emperor's strike, Bing Ling'er's mountain-like claws descended upon him.
Collapse....
The world that Can Ye Immortal Emperor had just created shattered directly. He watched as Bing Ling'er's claws descended upon him.
Can Ye Immortal Emperor summoned his Ruyi Fan and leaped forward to defend himself.
Bing Ling'er's claws struck with lightning speed. Can Ye Immortal Emperor attacked first, again summoning his Ruyi Fan. However, it was a bit late. Changing tactics mid-action was never as fierce as a fully charged attack.
Boom....
Can Ye Immortal Emperor took Bing Ling'er's paw head-on. Due to the immense force, the Qilin's paw sent him crashing into the ground, creating a large claw-shaped pit.
When Bing Ling'er withdrew her claws, Can Ye Immortal Emperor was no longer in the pit. He emerged from another direction, covered in dirt.
He looked somewhat dishevelled but was unharmed. At the Immortal Emperor realm, unless the strength difference was significant, it was truly difficult to inflict injuries.
Bing Ling'er, who was only at the early-stage Immortal Emperor realm, challenging him, an mid-stage Immortal Emperor, and managing to make him look so battered was already her limit.
If Bing Ling'er hadn't transformed into her true form, she wouldn't have been able to fight him at all.
She knew this herself, which was why she had transformed into her true form. Her goal was to quickly defeat Can Ye Immortal Emperor so that Xia Feng would agree to her request.
In fact, Bing Ling'er had succeeded. Smashing Can Ye Immortal Emperor into the ground was essentially defeating him.
Swish....
Bing Ling'er transformed back into her human form and flew to Xia Feng's side, seeking praise. She said, "Brother Xia, I just slammed him into the ground. Does that count as me defeating him?"
After speaking, Bing Ling'er hopped excitedly.
Xia Feng hadn't expected Bing Ling'er to defeat Can Ye Immortal Emperor so quickly. The Qilin was truly an ancient divine beast; its strength multiplied when it transformed into its true form.
"It counts," Xia Feng nodded.
"Then can I make a request now?" Bing Ling'er was extremely excited.
"You can. Tell me what you want," Xia Feng nodded.
"Hmm... I can think about it and tell you later. I don't know what I want right now," Bing Ling'er pondered for a moment, resting her chin on her hand. She realized she didn't seem to need anything.
Apart from wanting to stay by Xia Feng's side, nothing else mattered.
"Alright, you can tell me anytime," Xia Feng nodded.
"Yay ✌." Bing Ling'er excitedly flew in circles around Xia Feng.
Can Ye Immortal Emperor felt like an idiot, watching Xia Feng and Bing Ling'er openly displaying affection.
"I'm leaving then. Don't contact me again," Can Ye Immortal Emperor said, his tone still haughty despite his dishevelled state.
After all, he was an Immortal Emperor; he couldn't lose face.
"What did you say to me last time about the Immortal Emperor being in the late stage?" Xia Feng suddenly asked.
"Hong Ming Continent, Immortal Emperor Lin Qing," Can Ye Immortal Emperor said faintly, adding mentally: Hurry and find him.
"You went into seclusion but made no progress. Why did you even bother? You might as well come with me to find Immortal Emperor Lin Qing," Xia Feng said, looking at Can Ye Immortal Emperor, who hadn't improved at all since their last meeting.
Can Ye Immortal Emperor: (｀_´)
Can Ye Immortal Emperor's mouth twitched in anger upon hearing this.
However, what Xia Feng said was indeed true.
After all, what progress could be made in a few decades?
Who didn't take tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years to make progress?
A few decades for them was like closing their eyes for a nap.
But Xia Feng had said this to him, and he had no way to refute it. In just a few decades, Xia Feng had already become a mid-stage Immortal Emperor.
Despite his immense anger, he had to remain silent.
"Do you think everyone is as monstrous as you?" Can Ye Immortal Emperor said unhappily.
"I'm telling you this because I think you're alright. Although you have a somewhat eccentric temper, you fit my taste. Feel free to do as you please," Xia Feng said, looking at the dejected Can Ye Immortal Emperor.
"When are we going?" Can Ye Immortal Emperor asked, suppressing his urge to lash out.
"I don't know. I'll see in a year or two. I need to go back to the Sky Profound Continent, and I'll notify you then," Xia Feng said to Can Ye Immortal Emperor.
"Alright," Can Ye Immortal Emperor said, tossing a white stone to Xia Feng. He continued, "Contact me directly through this stone."
Xia Feng took the stone and put it away, saying to Can Ye Immortal Emperor, "See you next time."
Then, Xia Feng and Bing Ling'er disappeared before Can Ye Immortal Emperor's eyes.
