Divine King of Honour

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering explosion echoed.

Those three stones burst apart in an instant.

Xu Nian's figure was revealed before the old Taoist.

At this moment, Xu Nian's robe was already soaked with blood.

There was even a dent in his chest.

However, Xu Nian was now enveloped in a black evil power that blazed like flames.

This evil power encased Xu Nian, transforming him into a demonic god.

Especially those eyes, burning like black flames, exuding a fierce malevolence.

"Hmph, it seems the intelligence was indeed correct. There is a powerful being inside you. If I am not mistaken, this power you wield comes from that being," the old Taoist said, unfazed by the surging killing intent coming from Xu Nian.

He even let out a cold, mocking smirk.

Flicking his right hand, an Eight Diagrams Talisman appeared in his palm.

A vast Taoist energy emanated from his palm, filling the air.

Xu Nian frowned.

This old Taoist had come prepared.

But what of it!

Dare to provoke me, even if I die, I'll drag you down with me.

"Bang!"

Xu Nian stomped on the void.

His form instantly turned into a black afterimage, shooting out like a meteor, fiercely crashing towards the old Taoist.

"Courting death!"

The old Taoist disparagingly sneered, flicked his palm, and the Eight Diagrams Talisman in his hand instantly enlarged, forming a wall of light that pressed down on the incoming Xu Nian.

"Break!"

Xu Nian swung his fists around him, carrying a terrifying black evil power.

They smashed down on the Eight Diagrams Talisman with a thunderous crash.

The Eight Diagrams Talisman shook violently, but did not shatter.

"Useless, the techniques of my Taoist sect are not something your evil and crooked ways can contend with," the old Taoist snorted, his eyes brimming with disdain.

But Xu Nian's eyes were surging with killing intent.

"If one punch does not suffice, then I will strike a hundred punches, until I break through you."

Xu Nian roared, and then his fists pounded on the old Taoist's talisman like a stormy assault.

This time, the old Taoist's expression finally changed.

Even though his talisman was strong, it could not withstand Xu Nian's frenzied attack.

"He's gone mad, completely mad!" the old Taoist cursed inwardly, witnessing Xu Nian's wild punching, and a trace of fear emerged in his heart.

Every punch Xu Nian threw, his Eight Diagrams Talisman would rebound a bit of force, consequently injuring Xu Nian.

Yet Xu Nian disregarded this rebounding force, attacking wildly.

Against such a recklessly fighting foe, even the old Taoist felt somewhat wary.

Even a grown man would fear a child with no regard for his own life.

"Crack!"

At last, the old Taoist's talisman shattered under Xu Nian's barrage of punches.

Startled, the old Taoist hurriedly retreated.

But Xu Nian was relentless, stepping on the void and rapidly pursuing.

Xu Nian's speed exploded to the extreme, catching up to the elder.

The old Taoist, shocked, quickly swiped his horsetail whisk at Xu Nian.

However, Xu Nian's eyes flickered with a hint of ruthlessness, summoning his internal evil power and thunderously launched a punch.

"Boom!"

The old Taoist, along with his horsetail whisk, was instantly forced back by the power of Xu Nian's punch.

And at that moment, Xu Nian suddenly split into three.

Two of the figures darted towards the elder from both sides.

"What?"

The old Taoist was taken aback, hastily attempting to defend.

Having just taken Xu Nian's full-punch, his Spiritual Energy had not yet recovered.

Facing the two clones, he could only manage to strike at one of them.

"Bang!"

One clone was shattered.

While another incarnation had already reached the old Taoist, the punch that had been gathering momentum detonated onto the old Taoist's chest.

"Pfft!"

The old Taoist's figure was sent flying backward, spewing fresh blood from his mouth.

However, without giving the old Taoist a moment to catch his breath, Xu Nian's true form was gathering momentum for another kill.

He appeared directly in front of the old Taoist.

His fist, infused with a terrifying evil power, smashed brutally into the old Taoist.

Enraged, the old Taoist immediately struck back at Xu Nian with a palm.

"Boom!"

Fist met palm.

A terrifying force exploded.

Xu Nian was sent retreating a hundred yards in the air.

The old Taoist's figure also uncontrollably flew backward, crashing through thick tree roots and large trees before finally stabilizing himself.

The once clean Star Robe was now shredded and filthy.

Xu Nian steadied himself, gasping for air heavily.

"Boy, know when to quit. You were already injured, and borrowing too much power will cause permanent damage to your body. If you keep this up, you'll truly be finished," said the Wentian Demon Sovereign.

Xu Nian had previously sustained serious injuries, and now he was forcefully borrowing more power.

At this point, his body was on the verge of collapsing.

Xu Nian also knew he could not continue.

Looking at the old Taoist who was getting up in the distance, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.

But it was quite satisfying to have forced a Battle Emperor Expert into such a state.

"Xu Nian, I want you dead!"

The old Taoist was furious at the moment.

Being a Battle Emperor and being pushed to this point by a Battle Saint was a humiliation.

If this got out, he would probably be the laughingstock of all.

Just thinking of how Xu Nian had made him so disheveled filled him with indescribable anger.

"Stinking Taoist, I'll remember today's vengeance, Xu Nian. The next time we meet, I will repay you tenfold," Xu Nian said to the old Taoist with a cold laugh.

The black aura of malignancy around him gradually dissipated, and clarity returned to his gaze.

"Next time? There won't be a next time for you," the old Taoist huffed coldly, swinging his horsetail whisk and swooping toward Xu Nian, sticking close to the ground.

He charged straight at Xu Nian, the horsetail whisk surging with an incredibly powerful fluctuation.

Xu Nian, seeing this, had no intention of dodging.

But a powerful roaring sound erupted within him.

His skin began to turn a fiery red.

A potent energy of sanguine force began to spread all over Xu Nian's body.

"Eh?"

The swiftly approaching old Taoist paused, and a bad feeling welled up inside him.

He increased his speed once again and charged at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian, however, just sneered coldly.

He crouched slightly, then his whole body shot out explosively.

The old Taoist's horsetail whisk swept over Xu Nian's body like a sharp sword.

However, it only struck an afterimage of Xu Nian.

Yet Xu Nian's figure transformed into a streak of blood-red light, soaring into the sky and vanishing into the horizon.

"Damn it!"

The old Taoist was furious.

He wielded his horsetail whisk.

A terrifying wave swept out instantly, enveloping everything around.

The surrounding mountains and stones exploded wildly, creating a thunderous noise.

He was a formidable Battle Emperor Expert, and yet a Battle Saint managed to escape from him.

When he returned, even the emperor would probably not let this slide.

"Old Taoist, the next time we meet will be your end!"

At the same time, a voice exploded in the old Taoist's head.

Hearing this, the old Taoist spit out blood in a fit of anger.

Looking in the direction Xu Nian had fled, he clenched his fists tightly.

"Xu Nian, I will tear you to pieces!"
