Divine King of Honour

Even Li Jian couldn't have imagined he'd be killed by someone he least expected.

Initially, the burly man he encountered on the street was Xu Nian in disguise.

What's more, he never expected that on their way to assassinate Xu Nian, they'd be caught by Xu Nian himself.

Likewise, he hadn't anticipated that Xu Nian's strength was so formidable.

Now he even wished he were dead.

He had witnessed Xu Nian's methods himself.

If he really fell into the hands of this deadly Xu Nian,

it would certainly be a fate worse than death.

"I'll fight you to the death."

Zhao Xing's Spiritual Energy inside him surged dramatically, a long saber appeared in his hands, and he fiercely slashed towards Xu Nian.

His eyes turned blood-red, seemingly resolved to trade his life with Xu Nian's.

Yet a hint of mockery flashed in Xu Nian's eyes as he watched Zhao Xing charging towards him.

He simply launched a punch.

"Boom!"

A loud noise erupted.

Zhao Xing's body didn't fly backward.

But the surrounding onlookers' eyes widened in shock.

Zhao Xing's abdomen had been punched through, leaving a gaping hole.

Xu Nian's arm had pierced straight through his stomach.

All the patrons gasped and felt a churning in their stomachs, the urge to vomit overwhelming them.

Damn, a punch that penetrates a person?

What kind of terrifying strength was this?

Zhao Xing himself was stunned, mechanically lowering his head to glance at the hole in his belly.

With an expression of sheer horror, he looked at Xu Nian one last time before collapsing straight to the ground.

Xu Nian, however, showed no sign of disturbance; he simply wiped the fresh blood from his hands.

Yu Tian, witnessing this scene, lost all will to resist.

He hurriedly started to run towards the distance, attempting to escape.

But Xu Nian's mouth curled into a cold smile.

With a thought, the long saber lying on the ground transformed into a streak of light and shot out.

"Ahh..."

Yu Tian's scream was cut short.

The long saber cleaved him cleanly in two.

Blood splattered everywhere, his body split into halves.

Now, with the power of Xu Nian's Spiritual Sense, along with the enhancement of the Heavenly Gang Pearl,

slaying a Three-star Body General was as easy as a breeze. Find more to read at My Virtual Library Empire

The people in the tavern could no longer bear it.

All the alcohol they drank and food they ate were vomited out.

Their gaze towards Xu Nian turned into one of profound fear, as if they were looking upon a demon from hell.

At this moment, Li Jian was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, not daring to entertain any thoughts of escape.

"I can spare your life, but you must answer every question I ask seriously. If I'm dissatisfied with even one answer, your fate will be worse than theirs," Xu Nian said coldly as he gazed at Li Jian.

His eyes were as chilling as a ghost's.

Li Jian, shaking with fear, nodded again and again, his teeth chattering, "I guarantee I'll tell you everything, as long as you don't kill me."

"Is it the Fang Family that sent you to kill me?" Xu Nian asked with a cold voice.

Upon hearing this, Li Jian hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, the Fang Family issued a bounty, offering ten million Gold Coins for your... for your head."

Xu Nian narrowed his eyes, his mouth curving into a light smile.

Ten million Gold Coins—the Fang Family really valued him highly.

"And what about the Chen Family now?" Xu Nian continued to inquire.

"Most of the Chen Family's offspring have been killed. Apart from Chen Tiansheng, the Prefectural Governor, as well as Chen Wudi and Chen Yao, who escaped, there are almost no survivors left in the Chen Family," Li Jian said with his heart in his throat.

Terrified that Xu Nian might be unsatisfied and cleave him in two.

Xu Nian's eyes brimmed with intense killing intent.

How ruthless the Fang Family was.

Although the Chen Family was few in number, there were nearly a hundred servants and maids in the mansion.

Yet, they had all been killed.

"Then do you know where the three members of the Chen family are now?" Xu Nian continued to press on.

Li Jian, however, shook his head and said, "I don't know, they initially escaped with the power of the Chen Family's Saint. No one knows the direction they fled, but some say they were seen in Bingluo City."

"Bingluo City?" Xu Nian silently noted the name.

"However..." Just then, Li Jian hesitated to speak.

"However what?" Xu Nian barked.

Li Jian was startled, hurriedly speaking, "However, I've heard that Lord Governor Chen Tiansheng has been gravely injured and is likely not long for this world."

Upon hearing this, a surge of intense killing intent instantly flooded Xu Nian's face.

Chen Tiansheng had always treated him like his own nephew.

During his time in the Battle Mansion, Chen Tiansheng had often guided his cultivation.

The speed of his comprehension was, to a certain extent, also Chen Tiansheng's doing.

"Who did it?" Xu Nian asked, suppressing the anger in his heart. The emanating killing intent made Li Jian tremble all over.

"It was... the Fang Family's doing. They brought quite a few powerhouses this time, and now the entire Battle Mansion has been taken over. Most members have already defected to the Fang Family, some even volunteering eagerly to pursue and kill the Chen father and son," Li Jian said.

Xu Nian's brow furrowed deeply.

The killing intent in his heart grew even more intense.

"A bunch of ungrateful wretches." Xu Nian's eyes were chillingly dark.

The Battle Mansion was personally nurtured by Chen Tiansheng, housing not a few talented powerhouses.

However, now that Chen Tiansheng was in trouble, these talents had all turned their coats.

"My lord, I've said all I have to say. Will you truly let me go?" Li Jian asked with trepidation.

Xu Nian turned his head, his lips curving into a slight smile.

"Alright, I won't kill you," Xu Nian declared. After speaking, he turned and walked away.

Seeing this, Li Jian's face instantly flushed with joy.

But before his smile could fade, he saw a young man clad in a white robe approaching him.

The young man held a wine cup in hand, looking at him with a light smile on his face.

"Whoosh!"

With a flick of his finger, the young man sent the wine cup flying like a sharp sword, piercing through Li Jian's head in an instant.

In the center of Li Jian's forehead, a huge bloody hole appeared.

The surrounding patrons who had just finished vomiting at the sight, once again began to retch.

It was only now that they realized.

There had been such a powerful figure sitting in the corner all along.

"Sect Master, what should we do next?"

Bai Feng approached from behind Xu Nian to ask.

He knew that Xu Nian was truly angered now.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian took a deep breath to suppress the rage in his heart.

"The plan remains unchanged, continue heading to the Commandery City. I want to see just how many powerhouses the Fang Family has brought," Xu Nian said coldly.

"But the Commandery City has been taken by the Fang Family. Isn't it very dangerous for the Sect Master to go there?" Bai Feng asked, frowning.

"Don't worry, I will not engage in a direct confrontation. I'm just going to the Commandery City to look around and will not fight the Fang Family unless absolutely necessary," Xu Nian said.

He had not let his anger cloud his judgment.

The reason he wanted to go to the Commandery City.

It was because Zhao Yanyun was still in the basement of the Chen Mansion.

If he was late, the Fang Family would discover her presence, and then saving Sister Yanyun would be as tough as reaching the heavens.

"Yes!" Bai Feng nodded, his eyes afire with determination.

Xu Nian instead turned to gaze at the distant mountains, his eyes flickering with murderous intent.

"Fang Family, just you wait!"

Xu Nian clenched his fist, his fingernails digging into his palm, drawing a streak of fresh red.
