Divine King of Honour

Xu Nian's words intimidated the entire audience, causing fear to rise in the hearts of the spectators around.

Beside him, Hu Long's brows also furrowed tightly, his eyes filled with anger.

"I'm asking you one last time, who did it?" Xu Nian pressed the tip of his sword against the brow of the frail young man and asked coldly.

The frail young man's eyes were filled with venom and resentment, glaring at Xu Nian steadfastly.

"Offend Young Master Hu, and you will die a miserable death!" The frail young man roared, and then his other hand clenched into a fist, hurling it towards Xu Nian.

However, before he could get close, the sharp sword in Xu Nian's hand transformed into a streak of light, cutting off his head directly, killing him on the spot.

The head of the frail young man rolled to the side, and his body fell down.

The scene fell silent, and everyone stood frozen, staring at this spectacle.

Such decisive killing, without a word wasted, a Three-star Battle Sect had been killed just like that.

Chen Xifeng stood with his mouth agape; Xu Nian had just killed a Three-star Battle Sect in a moment.

The other two lackeys of Hu Long were also stunned, looking at their companion's body, their hearts filled with shock.

"Speak, who exactly did it? Otherwise, your end will be more miserable than his," Xu Nian said to the two young Battle Mansion One-star members.

The two Battle Mansion youths exchanged looks before finally turning towards Hu Long.

Throughout the whole event, Hu Long had remained silent, but the anger in his eyes seemed to grow stronger.

"Was it you who chopped off his arm?" Xu Nian asked Hu Long.

"That's right, I chopped it off. So what? He was just a new member of the Battle Mansion who ruined my plans. Not killing him was already his lucky break," Hu Long said with a cold snort, his eyes filled with disdain.

Upon hearing Hu Long's words, Xu Nian's eyes grew even colder.

Not killing him was already considered lucky.

Such arrogant words were something he was hearing for the first time.

"You chopped off his arm, I'll chop at you a thousand times. If you can still live, then you can also consider yourself lucky," Xu Nian said coldly, looking towards Hu Long.

"Ha, what a joke. You think you can kill me? Don't kid yourself just because you won first place in the academy. I'm a Five-star Body Sect; based on the cultivation you've shown, you're just a One-star Battle Sect. What do you have to fight me with?" Hu Long laughed heartily, his tone mocking.

"To kill you, a One-star Battle Sect is more than enough," Xu Nian responded indifferently.

As he finished speaking, his figure disappeared on the spot, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of Hu Long, his sharp sword slashing down immediately.

The tip of the sword tore through the air, emitting a piercing screech.

"Ha, confronting me head-on is suicide!" Hu Long laughed loudly, a Xuan Iron Battle Saber appearing in his hand.

The Battle Saber swung out diagonally, directly meeting Xu Nian's sword strike.

Everyone around sighed inwardly, feeling that Xu Nian's move was very unwise.

Hu Long was a Five-star Body Sect expert, engaging him head-on was using one's own weakness against the other's strength.

But when Xu Nian's sword met Hu Long's Battle Saber, a shocking scene occurred.

"Clang!"

A clear sound rang out, and Hu Long's Battle Saber was sent flying by Xu Nian's sword.

The terrifying force transmitted from the Battle Saber numbed Hu Long's arm violently, his palm split open, blood gushing out.

"How... How is this possible?" Hu Long looked on in shock.

He'd lost to a One-star Battle Sect in direct combat?

The surrounding spectators were equally astonished, unsure of how Xu Nian had accomplished this.

Chen Xifeng also stood dumbstruck, unable to believe Xu Nian had grown so strong.

Now he finally understood why Xu Nian dared to seek revenge directly on Hu Long.

Sending a Five-star Body Sect's Battle Saber flying with a single sword strike, how could this be done?

Only Dugu Jingcheng, his face pale, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, showed a look of surprise. He hadn't expected Xu Nian's mastery of the sword to reach such a level.

Indeed, Xu Nian had employed the Collapse Thunder.

Ever since learning the Collapse Thunder, Xu Nian had attempted to apply it to both fist techniques and swordsmanship.

Xu Nian finally realized that all these paths led to the same destination.

Whether it was Spiritual Energy or Gang Qi, by compressing them and then releasing them suddenly, they could both unleash tremendous power.

That sword strike just now had been Xu Nian executing "Collapse Thunder" with thirty percent of its power.

Xu Nian's internal Spiritual Energy was not inferior to a member of the Five-Star Battle Sect, and with the move "Collapse Thunder," he could easily defeat Hu Long.

"The first sword, and there are still nine hundred and ninety-nine to go!" Xu Nian said in a cold voice.

"I want you dead, Destructive Heaven Earth Shattering Fist!" Hu Long roared loudly. A powerful surge of Gang Qi burst forth from his body, attacking Xu Nian with terrifying power.

"Heavenly Rank Gang Skill of Low Grade," someone in the crowd gasped. "Hu Long is actually using a Heavenly Rank Gang Skill. I wonder if Xu Nian can withstand it."

Everyone around clenched their fists, watching with eyes that didn't dare blink.

Xu Nian looked at Hu Long, who was attacking like a flood dragon breaking out of the sea, and his gaze suddenly became sharp as the might of an Immortal King explosively burst forth.

Hu Long felt a tremor in his heart, and his figure paused in mid-air.

Simultaneously, a powerful surge of Spiritual Energy burst out from Xu Nian's hand.

Gale Sword Technique, Divine Transformation.

The Sword Qi sliced across the sky, and with one swift stroke,

Hu Long's entire arm was severed by Xu Nian's sword.

"Ah!"

Hu Long was sent flying, crying out in agony.

The crowd was stunned. Hu Long, who used a Heavenly Rank Low Grade Gang Skill, was defeated and even had an arm severed by Xu Nian?

Just how strong was Xu Nian?

Hu Long's two lackeys were also too shocked to speak. If even Hu Long was defeated, wouldn't it be even worse for them if they stepped forward?

Hu Long was utterly astonished. The moment he launched his attack,

he suddenly felt Xu Nian's figure grow incomprehensibly tall, as if a giant was looming over him from the sky, causing his fighting spirit to instantly collapse.

He didn't realize that this was the might of the Immortal King, a phenomenon created by Xu Nian's internal power.

In fact, Xu Nian had only mildly used his Talent Phenomenon and hadn't truly released it. If he actually did, Hu Long might have been shaken enough by the might of the Immortal King to kneel on the ground.

"The second sword, and there are still nine hundred and ninety-eight to go." Xu Nian, holding his sword, walked towards the pale-faced Hu Long.

"You... don't come any closer, I'm telling you I'm the nephew of Lord Governor, and also a member of the Heavenly Dragon Team. If you kill me, you won't live either," Hu Long finally expressed his fear with a terrified look.

However, Xu Nian let out a cold laugh, and his sharp sword slashed down immediately.

The flash of the Sword Radiance was followed by a spray of blood.

Hu Long's other arm was also severed by the sword.

Hu Long's screams of agony were so pitiful that they made one's scalp tingle.

The surrounding crowd was breathless. Xu Nian was really bold, daring to raise his hand against Hu Long, knowing full well he was the nephew of the Prefectural Governor.

"The third sword, and there are still nine hundred and ninety-seven to go!" Xu Nian declared coldly.

The crowd shuddered, wondering if Xu Nian really intended to swing his sword that many times.

After just three swings, Hu Long's arms were disabled. If a thousand strikes were to come down, Hu Long probably wouldn't have flesh left on his body.

"Buzz!"

Yet Xu Nian showed no signs of stopping, continuing to swing his sharp sword at Hu Long.

Hu Long turned deathly pale with fear, regretting provoking this death god.

"Stop!"

Just then, a thunderous yell came from the distance, and a terrifyingly heart-palpitating Sword Radiance rushed straight towards Xu Nian.

Xu Nian quickly retracted his sword and narrowly avoided the strike.

Then, he stared intently into the distance, only to see a young man wearing a Three-star Battle Robe approaching from afar.
