Divine King of Honour Chapter 1821: Mysterious Woman

"Boom!"

Down crashed the initial Heavenly Thunder.

Bearing a hint of Law Power, the fearsome thunderbolt smashed straight toward Qin Xue.

Without a moment's delay, Qin Xue thrust her sword forward.

Sword Radiance clashed head-on with the thunder.

It promptly shattered the thunder into pieces.

Then arrived the second strike.

Far stronger than the first, this thunder met the same fate, effortlessly repelled by Qin Xue.

The following ones proved no different.

Clearly, Qin Xue possessed a profoundly solid foundation.

Yet by the seventh Heavenly Thunder, Qin Xue began to falter visibly.

The eighth Heavenly Thunder struck her directly upon descent, forcing a torrent of blood from her mouth.

Witnessing this, Qin Changfeng grew frantic beside her.

Helplessness gripped him completely.

No outsider could aid during Heavenly Tribulations; any meddling would summon calamity, unleashing an even fiercer barrage on the tribulation-crosser.

Xu Nian observed the scene, his brows knitting together slightly.

In a flash, an idea struck him.

Swiftly, he flung a pill toward Qin Xue.

"Take it."

Xu Nian’s voice echoed clearly.

Qin Xue swallowed the pill without hesitation.

Instantly, a surge of mighty power flooded her entire body.

Moreover, her wounds mended in a blink.

"Strike!"

With a fierce sword swing, Qin Xue scattered the ninth Heavenly Thunder completely.

As the thunder dissipated, golden light rained down.

Bathed in the golden glow's purification, Qin Xue’s cultivation surged from the Transcendence Tribulation Stage into the Earth Immortal Realm.

Joy exploded across Qin Changfeng’s face.

A subtle smile curved Xu Nian’s lips at the sight.

The gift to Qin Xue had been a supreme Immortal Pill.

Such Immortal Pills meant nothing to Xu Nian anymore.

He had handed most of his stock to the Heavenly Court.

That recent one ranked among his remaining few that boosted soul power.

Thus, Qin Xue enjoyed both Immortal Light's baptism and the Immortal Pill's potent boost.

"Buzz!"

Qin Xue’s cultivation blasted past Early Stage Earth Immortal, soaring to Middle Stage Earth Immortal.

The ascent didn't halt; it climbed to Late Stage Earth Immortal.

At last, the golden light dimmed.

Her cultivation stabilized at Peak Late Stage Earth Immortal, ceasing its rise.

She had also grasped deep insights into the Profound Argumentation.

Qin Changfeng stared in total shock from nearby.

Never before had he witnessed a cultivator hitting Late Stage Earth Immortal right after tribulation.

"Thank you, Brother Feng." Qin Xue cried out in thrill, dashing toward him.

She knew the pill from Xu Nian fueled her explosive cultivation leap.

Under the golden light's tug, it let her swiftly comprehend Heaven and Earth Profound Argumentation.

Plus, it supplied vast soul power.

Her cultivation thus skyrocketed.

"No need to thank me; that pill holds no value for me, so passing it to you wastes nothing." Xu Nian replied smilingly.

Astonishment filled Qin Xue.

A treasure like that Immortal Pill, yet Xu Nian dismissed it as useless to him.

Not even an Immortal King would claim such a pill worthless.

"Family Head, bad news—terrible events! The Lei Family..."

Just then, a Qin Family disciple burst in frantically.

Qin Changfeng’s brow creased at once.

"What’s happened with the Lei Family?" Qin Changfeng demanded right away.

Qin Xue’s face shifted too.

"The Lei Family showed up at our gates with a bunch of folks; they’ve reached the front yard already." The disciple reported breathlessly.

Qin Changfeng’s expression twisted in alarm.

"Hmph, Qin Changfeng, return my son’s life!"

Before Qin Changfeng could respond, a booming roar thundered.

A figure hurtled backward through the air, slamming down hard before Qin Changfeng.

It was a Qin Family Elder at Earth Immortal Realm.

Next, thunder-robed figures strode in slowly, encircled by Qin Family disciples.

"Thunder Leopard, you?" Qin Changfeng’s gaze sharpened fiercely.

Qin Xue’s look darkened as well.

She hadn’t anticipated the Lei Family storming their doorstep so boldly.

"Is this Lei Li’s father?" Xu Nian inquired of Qin Xue.

"Yes, Brother Feng. He’s Lei Li’s dad, Thunder Leopard. His cultivation hits Profound Immortal Realm; our Qin Family can’t rival him." Qin Xue answered, frowning.

Xu Nian gave a nod.

Indeed, the Thunder Leopard had attained the Early-stage Profound Immortal realm.

In Heavenly Thunder City, such a powerhouse was truly uncommon.

Yet, Xu Nian’s focus wasn’t captured by the Thunder Leopard himself.

Rather, it shifted to the woman standing behind the Thunder Leopard.

Her beauty rivaled that of a heavenly fairy, boasting a graceful slender form, with allure that eclipsed even Qin Xue’s.

Most strikingly, her cultivation had surged to the Nether Emperor Peak.

Merely a single step from achieving Nether Emperor Perfection.

How could a minor place like Heavenly Thunder City harbor such a formidable expert?

Evidently, this woman did not belong to the Lei Family.

She too had sensed Xu Nian’s presence, directing a vigilant gaze toward him.

"Is this person also from the Lei Family?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

"No, I’ve never seen her before." Qin Xue replied, frowning.

This enigmatic and breathtaking woman before her left Qin Xue profoundly shocked as well.

At those words, Xu Nian instantly comprehended the situation.

Not affiliated with the Lei Family, she was probably just present for appearances.

"Hmph, Qin Changfeng, hand over the killer of my son, or your Qin Family gets exterminated today." Thunder Leopard snorted coldly.

Those words ignited instant rage in Qin Changfeng.

"I am the one who killed your son." Qin Changfeng declared without hesitation.

"Hmph, don’t think I don’t know. Qin Changfeng, your cultivation can’t match my son’s, so confess truthfully." Thunder Leopard wasn’t foolish; he understood the Qin Family lacked the might to slay his son.

Some hidden powerhouse must have assisted the Qin Family.

Yet, even with such an expert, he harbored no fear—no one in Heavenly Thunder City intimidated him, especially with their mighty guest at the Lei Family.

"It was me who killed him. Want to avenge your son?" Xu Nian chuckled lightly, striding forward.

His gaze upon Thunder Leopard brimmed with utter contempt.

Nothing but a Profound Immortal.

Even standing motionless here, Thunder Leopard couldn’t touch him.

"Senior!" Qin Changfeng blurted out in shock.

Xu Nian’s bold step forward took him completely by surprise.

He had vowed to shield Xu Nian’s secret, even at the price of his own life.

"It’s you! Fine, repay my son’s life!" Thunder Leopard bellowed in fury.

He prepared to launch his attack right then.

"Hmph!"

Xu Nian let out a cold snort.

A tremendous suppressive force crashed down on Thunder Leopard instantly.

The instant after, Thunder Leopard was smashed to the ground before he could budge, rendered utterly immobile.

"You..." Thunder Leopard trembled in utter disbelief.

What sort of horrifying pressure was this?

Such an aura, he had sensed only from that prestigious guest before.

Onlookers, Qin Changfeng, and Qin Xue alike were gripped by profound shock.

Though the pressure didn’t target them, it still instilled deep unease.

"Nether Emperor? Brother Feng turns out to be a Nether Emperor expert!" Qin Xue pondered in awe.

Meanwhile, the woman who had kept her eyes on Xu Nian now stared at him with widened eyes.

Just as she thought, the man before her was another Nether Emperor expert, matching her own level.

Inconceivably, tiny Heavenly Thunder City concealed yet another Nether Emperor!
