Divine King of Honour

"I can't believe it, is that really the legendary Talent Phenomenon?" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"Legend has it that those possessing the Talent Phenomenon all have supreme abilities. Xu Nian actually has the Talent Phenomenon, and it seems extremely powerful. Just a moment ago, I even felt an urge to kneel down," another person exclaimed.

Not only were they stunned, but Chen Xifeng and Yan Wu were also dumbfounded.

Yu Cheng, who had just attacked Xu Nian with a sword, also widened his eyes. In that instant, Xu Nian's figure had shot up hundreds of feet, instilling fear in him.

At this moment, Xu Nian's eyes were brimming with combativeness, with the Spiritual Energy in his body being enhanced by the Talent Phenomenon, becoming extremely powerful instantly.

The Spiritual Energy roamed like an Azure Dragon coiling around.

The blue Spiritual Energy poured into the sword, making the sword extremely sharp.

"Take my sword, Sword Slash Gale!" Xu Nian bellowed, and a terrifying blue Sword Radiance burst forth from the sword, slashing towards Yu Cheng.

Yu Cheng's face turned pale with fright, hurriedly swinging his sword to block.

Blue Thunderclap Power collided with Xu Nian's blue Sword Radiance, creating a loud energy roar. Continue reading at empire

Yu Cheng desperately resisted, his face contorted, but the terrifying force from the sword had his spirit trembling.

"Boom!"

The blue Sword Radiance exploded, turning into countless Sword Qi Wind Blades.

Yu Cheng was blown away, his body assaulted by those scattered Spiritual Energy Wind Blades, leaving countless sword wounds on him.

Eventually, he fell heavily more than ten meters away, his body covered in wounds, blood streaming.

The surrounding crowd had their mouths agape, too shocked to speak.

Yu Cheng, who had used Thunderclap Power, had still been defeated in the end.

His earlier boastful claim that he would resolve Xu Nian with one move, now seriously injured by Xu Nian's sword, created a powerful contrast that shocked the crowd tremendously.

Yu Cheng was also pale with fright, unable to believe that he had been defeated.

A Six-star Martial Sect had actually lost to a One-star Martial Sect.

"I won't kill you, just scram! Don't let me see you again," Xu Nian said coldly.

Yu Cheng's face turned livid, his face filled with unwillingness, but eventually, he gritted his teeth and struggled to get up, staggering away.

He knew that staying here was useless.

He had lost, and staying would only bring him humiliation.

But no matter what, he could not swallow this day's resentment.

"Xu Nian, today's humiliation, I, Yu Cheng, will surely return it twofold," Yu Cheng said, turning around after walking a few steps.

Xu Nian merely scoffed disdainfully, not even bothering to respond.

Seeing this, Yu Cheng's face turned from blue to white and eventually left with intense resentment.

Xu Nian's disregard for his words had greatly humiliated his pride, and he vowed in his heart to make Xu Nian pay.

Xu Nian watched Yu Cheng's retreating figure, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

Truth be told, he was extremely reluctant to let Yu Cheng go.

Having an enemy focus on him was not a good thing.

But he had no choice but to do so because he had no sufficient reason to kill Yu Cheng.

The Battle Mansion allowed settling grudges privately, but that didn't mean one could kill innocents recklessly.

Although Yu Cheng had provoked him, his actions were not deserving of death.

Killing him would invite a lot of trouble, and the Heavenly Dragon Team would definitely seize any handle they could on him.

However, while Yu Cheng could be let go, Hu Long could not.

He had cut off Dugu Jingcheng's arm and even attempted to kill Dugu Jingcheng. Even if the Battle Mansion blamed him, he had enough reason to refute.

Xu Nian glanced at Hu Long, who, although his Talent Phenomenon had receded, still exuded the dignity of an Immortal King.

When Hu Long saw Xu Nian looking at him, his heart trembled violently.

Xu Nian, holding his sword, walked toward Hu Long, who immediately turned pale with fear.

"You... what do you want to do? I am the nephew of the Lord Governor. If you kill me, you'll have to be buried with me!" Hu Long had stopped the bleeding at this point, and the pain on his face had diminished a lot. Seeing Xu Nian approaching, he quickly spoke out to threaten.

Those around them were also whispering to each other, feeling that Hu Long was right.

After all, he was the nephew of the Prefectural Governor. Killing him would mean offending the Governor.

Even if the Governor did not blame Xu Nian, it would still negatively affect his impression of Xu Nian, and Xu Nian's days in East Field County would become exceedingly difficult.

"Beast, unrepentant even in the face of death!"

However, at that moment, a cold shout came from the sky, followed by the arrival of a corpulent figure floating down.

"Lord Governor!"

"The Governor is here!"

Everyone around was shouting in surprise, not expecting that the commotion here would have alerted the Governor.

Hu Long, seeing the Lord Governor, revealed a look of delight and hastily yelled, "Uncle, you must kill him quickly. He chopped off my arms; you must avenge me!"

Everyone around was shocked. Hu Long was actually accusing Xu Nian first—wasn't Xu Nian doomed?

"Senseless fool, begone!"

However, before people could react, Chen Tiansheng had struck out with a palm from mid-air.

The powerful spiritual energy instantly slammed into Hu Long's abdomen, forcefully sending him flying.

Hu Long vomited blood wildly, his face showing terror.

He looked at Chen Tiansheng, puzzled.

Those around were also stunned.

What's going on?

Shouldn't the Governor have attacked Xu Nian?

Why did he send Hu Long flying with a palm strike?

The palm strike was extremely heavy, directly crippling Hu Long's Dantian, effectively rendering him helpless.

Xu Nian's face also showed a trace of surprise. Although he knew Chen Tiansheng wouldn't favor Hu Long, he hadn't expected Chen Tiansheng to take personal action.

"Xu Nian, for my sake, spare his life. After all, he is the son of a distant brother of mine. I've already crippled his Dantian, and you've severed his arms. This punishment should suffice for him," Chen Tiansheng asked Xu Nian with a smile.

The surrounding crowd was dumbfounded.

Chen Tiansheng was actually asking Xu Nian to spare Hu Long. This was a regional governor with the power of life and death over the entire East Field County, yet he was actively pleading with Xu Nian?

Hu Long was also utterly shocked, sitting down on the ground with a thud.

It's over!

Completely over!

It was only at this moment that he realized the kind of being he had provoked.

Xu Nian was also somewhat surprised, not expecting Chen Tiansheng to act so humbly.

However, Xu Nian could guess the reason; Chen Tiansheng's courtesy had much to do with the Talent Phenomenon Xu Nian had just displayed.

"Fine, I'll give Lord Governor face, but I do not want to see him anymore," Xu Nian finally said.

"That's good to hear!" Chen Tiansheng smiled and after speaking, he turned to the city guards who had hurried over and commanded authoritatively, "Men, take young master Hu Long back to Tianhui City, never to step out of Tianhui City again in his lifetime."

"At your command!" the city guards responded, then promptly dragged Hu Long away.

Hu Long screamed desperately, but Chen Tiansheng gave him no further glance.

Everyone around was stunned by the shock. In the past, Hu Long had been unruly, and Chen Tiansheng had turned a blind eye.

Today, for Xu Nian, Chen Tiansheng had meted out such severe punishment to Hu Long.

Just who was Xu Nian?

Everyone's gaze towards Xu Nian turned into awe and curiosity.

Especially Chen Xifeng, he was simply too stunned to put his shock into words!
