Divine King of Honour

Xu Nian's cultivation progress was simply terrifying.

By the time he reached the Battle King level, he still managed to advance at such a rapid pace.

He could truly be described as a freak of nature.

Moreover, Xu Nian was a practitioner of Spirit Body Dual Cultivation—it was impossible for his spiritual cultivation to advance so significantly without his body cultivation advancing similarly.

From the Gang Qi he had utilized during the recent battle with Zhou Tian, he was at least at the Eight-star Body King Realm.

In one month, he had increased his spiritual cultivation by three stars and his body cultivation by four stars.

Such a terrifying speed of cultivation was indeed shocking.

Leng Yanran stood at a distance, observing the aura emanating from Xu Nian.

A look of immense surprise appeared on her beautiful face.

The eighteen-year-old youth in front of her had already surpassed her in cultivation.

She couldn't help but marvel at Xu Nian's heaven-defying talent.

The elderly man in the sky's expression darkened upon hearing this.

Despite revealing his cultivation level, Xu Nian showed not a hint of fear.

Instead, he dared to speak to him in such a manner.

It was unclear whether it was confidence or sheer arrogance.

Regardless,

Xu Nian could absolutely not be let go.

The dragon bloodline he possessed was specifically requested by the Hall Master.

Even if they couldn't bring Xu Nian back alive, they would have to bring back his body.

"Are you sure you won't reconsider joining the Desolate Hall and submitting to the Hall Master? With your talent, you would be second in command, but if you refuse, your only end will be death," the elder spoke again.

"You needn't waste your effort; I will not join your damn Desolate Hall unless your Hall Master is willing to cede his position to me—I might then consider it," Xu Nian replied coldly, chuckling.

He had no fondness for the so-called Desolate Hall.

From the Desolate Hall people he had met, most seemed to be from the nefarious outer sects.

Just like Zhou Tian, who relied on special methods to meld Demon Beast bloodlines into himself, making himself neither fully human nor beast.

This showed that the Desolate Hall was definitely not a noble force.

Moreover, these people wanted to use Leng Yanran against him.

Just for that reason, he wouldn't easily let go of this Desolate Hall.

How could he possibly agree to join it?

"Since you won't listen, I have no choice but to take action myself, beat you down, and bring you back for the Hall Master," the elder declared coldly as he once again charged at Xu Nian. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

The elder's movements became faster.

Even faster than the fully transformed Zhou Tian previously.

A palm strike came, the embedded potency terrifyingly powerful.

Xu Nian's eyes hardened, and he immediately countered with a palm strike.

Luotian Palm!

"Boom!"

The two forces collided, creating a loud booming sound.

The elder was forced back several tens of meters.

While Xu Nian also took a full ten steps back.

"To withstand my palm strike, this young man's strength is not weak!" the elder mused to himself.

His gaze towards Xu Nian became even more piercing.

Xu Nian, however, had a cold smile on his lips.

"A Half-Saint Expert is merely this capable. If this is all your strength, not only will killing me be out of question, but whether you can escape with your life is also uncertain," Xu Nian said with a laugh.

His tone was thick with an overwhelming dominance.

The surrounding students from the Academy couldn't help but admire him.

A Seven-star War King daring to speak this way to a Half-Saint level expert was something probably only Xu Nian could achieve.

They had no doubt that Xu Nian could do it.

In their hearts, if Xu Nian claimed he could kill a Battle Emperor Expert, they would believe him unconditionally.

"Hmph, boy, you have quite the audacity. I only used fifty percent of my strength in that last palm strike, but since you're so arrogantly looking for death, I will oblige," the elder snorted coldly.

He was clearly very dissatisfied with Xu Nian's previous tone.

"Just come at me!" Xu Nian said with a slight smile.

His expression was light and breezy.

He didn't feel nervous at all facing a Half-Saint Expert.

"Seeking death!"

The elder shouted loudly, and a sharp sword appeared directly in his hand.

It was a Strange Metal Sword.

As the Sword Radiance was slashed out, it even contained a powerful dark aura.

"Another Cultivator with dark attributes," Xu Nian muttered to himself.

Watching the surging dark Sword Light, a light laugh flashed through his eyes.

"Hum!"

Xu Nian used his hand as a sword and immediately slashed out.

Instantly, a Dark Green Sword Light streaked out.

It collided directly with the dark Sword Light.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion.

The two Sword Lights burst in the air.

Turning into countless Sword Qi scattering in all directions.

The Sword Qi scattered, leaving holes wherever they fell.

The elder was stunned, obviously not expecting his sword to be blocked.

And Xu Nian didn't use a sword, but his hand.

The elder's expression instantly became grave.

"I originally anticipated a good fight, but to think that this is all the strength you possess, truly disappointing," Xu Nian said with a light smile.

Hearing this, the elder grew even more furious.

Xu Nian was actually looking down on him so much.

"Hmph, boy, don't be arrogant. I haven't used my killing move yet, once I do, you will undoubtedly die," the elder said coldly, not admitting defeat.

Xu Nian smiled.

But he hadn't spoken yet.

The students below, however, started mocking loudly.

"Ha ha, old man, if you have any killer moves then bring them out. You just boast about how fearsome your moves are; seems like you're just blowing hot air!"

"Exactly, no matter how formidable you are, in front of our Brother Xu Nian, you are nothing but worthless. My Brother Xu Nian can kill you as easily as slaughtering a chicken."

Hearing these words, Xu Nian immediately burst out laughing.

These students were really adorable.

Fearlessly cheering for him even though the elder was a Half-Saint Expert.

Hearing these words, the elder's eyes squinted instantly.

A dense killing intent flashed through his eyes.

"Fine, today I will massacre all of you, letting you know the fierceness of Dark Ancestor," the elder shouted angrily.

Dark aura surged around him.

"Is he the Dark Ancestor?" Leng Yanran and the others had a change of expression upon hearing this.

"Do you recognize him?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.

"Mm, the Dark Ancestor, famous for the Dark Triple Clone Technique, nearly unbeatable among the Marquis Level," Leng Yanran said.

"Dark Triple Clone Technique?" Xu Nian wore a puzzled look and turned his head toward the elder in the sky.

"Ha ha, you actually know I am the Dark Ancestor. Since that's the case, then let me show you the true capability of my trump card, the power of the Dark Triple Clone Technique," the elder shouted loudly.

Following that, a bright light emanated from his body.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, the elder split into three.

Becoming three identical elders.

"Is this the Dark Triple Clone?"

Xu Nian also showed a hint of surprise.

Obviously, the elder's clones were formed through some power, different from his own clones.

"Die!"

The three Dark Ancestors shouted simultaneously.

Then, they attacked Xu Nian from three different directions at the same time.

Moreover, each one's speed was not weaker than before, and their aura was the same too.
