Divine King of Honour Chapter 1824: Xu Nian Displays His Might

"What sort of flame is this? It possesses such terrifying heat; could it be some kind of Divine Fire?" Xu Nian pondered aloud.

The flames conjured by the woman surprised Xu Nian.

It was no wonder this woman could craft a divine artifact with such flames.

At the very least, artifact refining materials would melt with ease in these flames.

"Roar!"

The thunder beast immediately stomped the void and charged ferociously towards the woman.

The woman, unwilling to yield, directly slashed her sword through the mid-air.

This sword strike contained an extremely potent flame power, transforming into a terrifying sword radiance that shot towards the thunder beast.

"Roar!"

The thunder beast roared, spewing out a thunder blade that directly clashed with the woman’s flame sword light.

The heavens and earth rumbled, and terrifying energy waves instantly swept across the surroundings.

The woman was also sent flying by this horrifying energy.

"Such potent power!" Xu Nian couldn’t help but marvel internally.

Even within the thunderous unleashed by the thunder beast, there was a trace of destruction.

The woman clearly felt the terror of this thunder, a coppery taste filling her throat.

"Smack!"

However, before the woman could react, the thunder beast’s formidable tail, carrying immense thunderous force, directly whipped towards her.

This single tail whip vibrated the entire void.

The woman was greatly alarmed.

She hurriedly mobilized all her strength to activate a defensive shield.

"Boom!"

Yet, the power of this tail whip was far greater than the woman had anticipated.

"Smack!"

The immense power struck the shield.

It directly caused the entire shield to buckle inward.

"Puff!"

Blood erupted wildly from the woman’s mouth.

Her figure was propelled backward in a straight line.

"Boom!"

The woman’s body crashed into the mountain wall, creating a loud, rumbling sound.

The mountain structure caved in, and rocks tumbled down.

The woman lay in a deep crater, her form becoming somewhat more spectral.

It was evident the thunder beast’s attack had inflicted significant harm.

Xu Nian furrowed his brow, his figure flashed, and he appeared beside the woman.

"Are you alright?" Xu Nian inquired.

"Not dead yet. Why are you still here?" The woman was clearly displeased with Xu Nian.

She had been fighting desperately to buy him time.

But she had not expected Xu Nian to remain in the same spot.

Didn’t that mean her efforts were in vain?

She now even doubted whether collaborating with this fellow was the right choice.

"You cannot handle it alone. Without retrieving the Divine Thunder first, you might perish," Xu Nian stated, shaking his head.

This thunder beast's strength was immense, its body covered in tough scale armor which the woman couldn't possibly penetrate.

"Even if the two of us joined forces, we wouldn’t be its match, so I can only try my best to hold it off and buy you time," the woman gritted her teeth.

Yet, Xu Nian chuckled and shook his head.

"Never mind that. Go retrieve the Divine Thunder, and I will help you fend it off," Xu Nian tossed the Jade Bottle back.

"You will fend it off? You are only at the Nether Emperor Late Stage; what do you have to hold it off with?" The woman suddenly became somewhat irate.

She, a Nether Emperor Peak expert, couldn't withstand two strikes from the thunder beast.

This person before her, only at the Nether Emperor Late Stage, how could he possibly block the thunder beast?

It was sheer overestimation of his abilities.

Yet Xu Nian offered no response to the woman’s words, directly summoning his God Sword.

"What is that… a Divine Artifact?"

The woman’s sharp eyes immediately recognized the treasure Xu Nian held was a Divine Artifact.

This person actually possessed a Divine Artifact?

How could this be possible?

Even across the entire Netherworld, few could likely possess a Divine Artifact.

How could this fellow possess such a formidable treasure?

But even possessing a Divine Artifact couldn't make one a match for the thunder beast.

After all, without reaching the Divine level, one couldn't unleash the artifact's true power.

Let alone a Divine Artifact.

"Roar!"

The thunder beast seemed to sense Xu Nian’s provocation and let out a deafening roar.

Xu Nian displayed a hint of a disdainful sneer.

Soon, his eyes blazed with killing intent.

This was the first time he was fully utilizing his soul power in battle.

Now that Xu Nian’s soul power had reached the Immortal Emperor Peak Level, his true strength was entirely at the Immortal Emperor Peak.

Facing this Nether Emperor Great Perfection Level thunder beast, although there was a slight disparity.

Xu Nian wasn't entirely powerless to fight.

"Take this strike! Chop!"

Xu Nian held nothing back, directly activating the Wind Attribute Law at the Eighth Level Law Great Success Realm, and fiercely slashed out with his sword.

Plain yet possessing a sharpness that sent shivers down everyone's spines, the sword lunged directly at the thunder beast.

"Such a potent aura," the woman uttered, her expression instantly mirroring astonishment.

Xu Nian's sword strike, she mused, was something she could absolutely not withstand.

In that single move, Xu Nian's prowess was demonstrably superior to her own combat ability.

"ROAR!"

The thunder beast unleashed a bellow, expelling a blade of lightning to intercept the attack.

Yet, the very instant the wind-blade sword's radiance met the lightning blade, the latter was cleanly cleaved apart by Xu Nian's formidable wind blade.

"BANG!"

The wind blade sword radiance impacted the thunder beast's body.

Immediately, its formidable scale armor shattered, blood erupted, and the creature was reduced to a mangled mess of flesh and gore.

"Incredibly powerful."

Witnessing this spectacle, the woman's face contorted with shock.

She couldn't help but gaze at the man before her, only now realizing the overwhelming martial aura he exuded.

At this moment, the man wielding the divine sword appeared as an invincible, god-like figure.

"BUZZ!"

While the woman stood dumbfounded.

Xu Nian moved with lightning speed, vanishing from his previous position.

He reappeared directly above the thunder beast.

The divine sword in his grasp plunged downwards, poised to impale the creature onto the ground.

However, the cunning thunder beast had already braced itself.

Its powerful tail whipped out, lashing towards Xu Nian.

The speed of the tail strike was astonishingly double that of Xu Nian's own movement.

"Be careful!" the woman shrieked, her voice laced with alarm.

If Xu Nian were to be struck by that blow, survival was possible, but severe injury was almost a certainty.

Nevertheless, a cold smirk played on Xu Nian's lips.

The God Sword, which had been descending, abruptly altered its trajectory, executing a majestic, sweeping arc.

Sword Qi erupted, its piercing sharpness causing everyone's scalps to prickle.

"SLASH!"

With a single swing of his sword.

The thunder beast's tail was unceremoniously severed.

"AWOOO!"

The thunder beast howled in agony.

It was evident that the loss of its tail inflicted immense pain upon the creature.

The woman, too, was utterly astounded.

Such immediate reaction and swift swordplay from this man.

He had actually managed to sever the thunder beast's tail?

Maintaining his composure, Xu Nian brandished the God Sword, intent on finishing the thunder beast.

But at this critical juncture, the thunder beast unleashed an unprecedented surge of speed.

Its form dissolved into a terrifying bolt of lightning, vanishing into the depths of the valley in an instant.

Xu Nian contemplated pursuit, but it was already too late.

"It actually managed to escape," Xu Nian remarked, a note of surprise in his voice.

He had not anticipated the thunder beast's final burst of speed to be so overwhelming.

Otherwise, the creature would undoubtedly have met its end beneath his blade today.

"You're truly this formidable?" the woman approached, her expression filled with wonder.

A flicker of apology crossed her features.

Earlier, she had misjudged Xu Nian, considering him a mere liability.

Unexpectedly, Xu Nian had been the one to drive the thunder beast into retreat.
