Divine King of Honour

"Xu Nian, release my companion quickly, or you will suffer a terrible death,"

The short youth seemed to realize that he still had many companions here, and the fear in his heart greatly diminished, as he directly pointed at Xu Nian and threatened.

However, as the words left his mouth, there wasn't a single ripple on Xu Nian's face.

He still coldly gazed at the short man.

The short man was somewhat panicked by Xu Nian's stare.

"Are you deaf to my words? Let me tell you, all eighteen of the Holy Guards are here. If you don't release him, not only will you die, your mother will also follow—"

"Puchi!"

Before the short man could finish,

Xu Nian next to him swung his sword.

Big Beard's entire right arm was severed by Xu Nian.

"Ah!"

Big Beard revealed an expression of agony, screaming continuously.

In his heart, a multitude of curses galloped past.

Throughout, Xu Nian never once glanced at Big Beard, his gaze dead set on the short man.

The short man was shocked by Xu Nian's action, a fear taking root in his heart.

"You dare..."

"Puchi!"

The short youth was just about to speak,

But what responded to him was another sword strike.

Yet, this sword also landed on Big Beard.

Big Beard's entire right leg was cut down by Xu Nian.

"Ah..."

Big Beard was in extreme pain.

He desperately tried to scream, but his neck was gripped by Xu Nian, silencing him completely.

Even his soul was restrained, unable to make a Soul Transmission.

At this moment, Big Beard's inner world collapsed.

Throughout, it had been the dwarf speaking ill of his mother,

Yet, he was the one suffering.

He truly wanted to curse Xu Nian fiercely: "If you have the guts, kill him, why torture me?"

By now, the dwarf was petrified by Xu Nian's actions.

In terms of strength, Big Beard's Cultivation was even higher than his.

But now, being tormented by Xu Nian like this, if he really started fighting, he feared there would only be one path to death.

With this thought, the short youth hurriedly transformed into a streak of light, fleeing towards the Ninth Safe Zone.

Watching the dwarf flee, Xu Nian did not try to stop him.

Instead, he cleaved off Big Beard's head with a sword and, holding his head, walked towards the Ninth Safe Zone.

Killing the dwarf was easy, but it could not vent the anger in his heart.

He wanted the dwarf to watch with his own eyes as one by one his companions were killed, to watch as his hope gradually shattered, and to be consumed bit by bit by fear.

Only this way could Xu Nian quell the wrath within him.

Thus, he had tortured Big Beard, just to instill fear in the dwarf.

Killing him was easy, a matter of a single sword stroke.

Death was not frightening, what was frightening was the fear you face as death approached.

"Captain, captain, save me!"

As the dwarf reached the grand hall of the safe zone, he began to shout desperately.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Then, a series of figures streaked out from inside the grand hall.

These figures all wore identical sets of strange metal armor in a green hue.

Hearing the dwarf's call, they all ran out.

"Twelve, what happened to you?" asked a middle-aged man exuding a heroic aura with urgency.

"Xu... Xu Nian is coming," Xu Shier replied quickly, pointing towards the entrance of the safe zone behind him.

The eighteen Holy Guards did not have their own names; their names were their codenames, ranked by strength.

For instance, this short man was ranked twelfth, so his name was also Xu Shier.

And the big-bearded man slain by Xu Nian was none other than Xu Shiyi.

"Xu Nian?" When the other Holy Guards heard Xu Shier's words, they all made their way toward the safety entrance.

At the sight, they felt a tremble in their hearts.

They saw a tall and slender youth, holding a head in one hand and a sword in the other, slowly walking towards them.

A thick coldness and killing intent emanated from him.

Even the hardened hearts of the Eighteen Holy Guards couldn't help but shiver at this sharp, killing aura.

"How dare you, Xu Nian, you actually slaughtered the Holy Guards. Don't you know this is a capital offense?" one of the Holy Guards shouted harshly.

Xu Nian was actually carrying the head of his own comrade towards them.

It was a blatant provocation.

"Not only him, all of you must die." Xu Nian finally spoke, his voice completely icy.

"You're seeking death!" Xu Ten erupted in rage, his Six-star War Saint Peak aura bursting forth in an instant, a Battle Saber appearing in his hand.

He swung the Battle Saber at Xu Nian.

The sword light was as piercing as bone-chilling coldness, a slash which brought an icy coldness with it.

However, as Xu Nian looked at the charging Xu Ten, a glint of cold light flashed in his eyes.

His Immortal Sword instantly traced a cyan phantom.

"Splash!"

Blood splattered, and Xu Ten's neck, along with the Battle Saber in his hand, was split in two by Xu Nian's sword.

Blood flew through the air, and a head rolled onto the ground.

A Six-star War Saint Peak powerhouse was killed with a single sword strike.

"What..."

The other Holy Guards were stunned by this scene.

Old Ten was killed with a single sword strike.

How was this possible?

And even his Strange Metal Battle Saber was cut in half—how sharp was this attack?

Especially the middle-aged man leading the group, his eyes were exceedingly sharp.

"Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation of the Bright Mirror Level along with an Immortal Sword?" Xu Yi identified the Profound Argumentation and the weapon used by Xu Nian.

The more he understood, the more astonished he became.

Xu Nian actually possessed such a high level of comprehension and such a powerful weapon.

Wasn't this Xu Nian just some country bumpkin from a backwater village?

"How dare you kill our brothers, you're courting death!"

Xu Qi, Xu Ba, and Xu Jiu saw Xu Ten being killed.

They let out a furious shout and charged at Xu Nian.

All three of them were at the Seven-star Battle Saint Level.

At that moment, the three of them striking together was an undeniably formidable force.

"Die!"

The three brandished their own weapons, unleashing deadly strikes on Xu Nian.

As assassins, they aimed for a lightning-fast killing blow, so they held nothing back.

Thus, in their view, the three of them teaming up meant certain death for Xu Nian.

What they didn't expect was, just as they were about to hit Xu Nian, a Talent Phenomenon suddenly emerged behind him.

A giant sword appeared in the sky.

Then Xu Nian's Immortal Sword slashed out at a terrifying speed.

A horrifying cyan Sword Radiance swept across the sky in an instant.

"Ah..."

The three barely had time to scream before their bodies were bisected at the waist by Xu Nian's cyan Sword Radiance.

Three Seven-star Battle Saints were killed with one sword strike.

"This..."

The remaining members of the Holy Guard were completely stunned by this sight.

On the aside, Xu Shier witnessed this scene and was so frightened his legs went weak, his gaze filled with terror as he looked at Xu Nian.

To kill three Seven-star Battle Saints with a single sword?

Just how terrifying was this Xu Nian?
