Divine King of Honour

Chapter 161 Fierce Blade Dance

Indeed, what Xu Nian was demonstrating was the Heavenly Rank Body Technique he had acquired at the Academy's Grand Competition.

During these days at the Governor Mansion, whenever Xu Nian had free time, he would practice this Heavenly Rank Body Technique.

Under Xu Nian's cultivation, the Illusion Fascinate Trace Step had finally reached a masterful level.

Now, Xu Nian's speed had doubled compared to before.

Although Ding Hao was from the Seven-star Martial Sect, with his eyes covered now, it was nearly impossible to catch Xu Nian's movements.

"Heavenly Rank Technique, Illusion Fascinate Trace, huh? I cultivated for a year to reach proficiency, and this guy has reached it in just over a month, what incredible comprehension skills?" Zhao Yanyun thought in shock.

In fact, he didn't know that Xu Nian had actually spent only five days on this body technique.

Chen Yao was also stunned. She had just seen Xu Nian start cultivating this Heavenly Rank Body Technique a few days ago, and now he had already reached proficiency.

Although Heavenly Rank Techniques are powerful, they are indeed extremely difficult to cultivate.

Without a long period of hard work, it is impossible to achieve any success.

Xu Nian, however, had matched the efforts of others after nearly a year in just a few days.

This made her recall the night a few days ago, when he had comprehended the Man and Sword as One Third Level Realms,

Xu Nian's almost freakish comprehension skills, truly drove people to despair.

Lin Rock and Sun Zhan were also surprised, not expecting Xu Nian's speed to be so fast, which gave them a very ominous feeling.

Ding Hao also frowned tightly, Xu Nian's speed was far beyond his expectations.

"Hmph, I refuse to believe I can't hit you, Gale Burst Palm!" Ding Hao said defiantly, as the aura of a Seven-star Martial Sect fully burst forth.

A gust almost as sharp as a blade's edge converged in his palm, even cutting through the surrounding air.

"This is a Heavenly Rank Low Grade Battle Technique, it seems Ding Hao is truly enraged," the surrounding crowd was astonished.

At this moment, the technique Ding Hao was displaying was a Heavenly Rank Low Grade Palm Technique, ferociously powerful.

If Xu Nian was hit by this palm, he would either die or be severely injured.

Xu Nian, seeing the fierce palm strike coming towards him, curled up the corners of his mouth into a light smile.

"Senior Brother Ding, since you are unconvinced, let me show you what true speed is," Xu Nian chuckled lightly.

His figure flashed and he vanished from the spot.

Ding Hao's palm passed through where Xu Nian had been, striking a stone pillar beside him and leaving several scratches on the hard pillar.

"What? He's gone?" Ding Hao exclaimed in surprise, not expecting his attack to miss completely.

"Watch your back!" someone from the audience suddenly shouted.

Ding Hao spun around only to feel a terrifying gust of air hit him in the face.

Everyone around also opened their mouths in shock.

Xu Nian threw a punch, hitting Ding Hao hard on the bridge of his nose.

"Bang!"

Ding Hao was sent reeling back several steps, crashing into a stone pillar.

His nose collapsed, its bones completely shattered, blood streaming down.

The severe pain caused Ding Hao to emit agonizing screams.

The force of Xu Nian's punch was not light, having completely shattered Ding Hao's nose, which would probably take a month or two to heal.

"Good hit!" Chen Wudi shouted from the side.

Everyone around twitched their mouths, the nose being a vulnerable spot, Xu Nian's strike was unusually ruthless.

"Sorry, Senior Brother Ding, I couldn't see and didn't know where I hit you, are you alright?" Xu Nian said in a tone that seemed apologetic.

Ding Hao's face was full of rage, one hand covering his nose, the other clenched tightly into a fist.

Can't see?

Stop fooling around, if you couldn't see how could you easily dodge my attack and accurately appear behind me?

Now he finally realized he had fallen into Chen Wudi's trap.

Even if Xu Nian were blindfolded, his perceptive abilities definitely wouldn't be any less than usual.

Thinking that he had been tricked by Chen Wudi, he felt an urge to grind his teeth in anger.

"Xu Nian, you forced my hand, today, I must kill you," Ding Hao said angrily in his heart, a strong intent to kill rising within him, followed by the appearance of a three-foot sword in his hand.

Xu Nian sneered inwardly, seeing that Ding Hao was almost driven to desperation, even resorting to using a weapon.

"Since you want to play, I will naturally accompany you to the end," Xu Nian responded with a cold sneer, a Xuan Iron Sword appearing in his hand.

"Junior Brother Xu Nian, be careful, my sword is quite fast, don't blame me if you end up killed by me," Ding Hao said with a cold laugh.

He was very confident in his swordsmanship; he had already mastered the First Level Realm of Man and Sword as One. Among his peers, very few could surpass him, so he didn't believe Xu Nian's speed could be fast enough to dodge his sword.

"Senior Brother Ding Hao, you should also be careful, mine is not only exceptionally fast but also very fierce," Xu Nian replied coldly.

After mastering the Third Level Realms of Man and Sword as One, which Chen Tiansheng had taught him, his swordsmanship had become much more powerful than before, enough to confront a Seven-star Martial Sect directly, possibly without defeat.

"Alright, then take this, Gale One Qi Cut!" Ding Hao shouted, his sword immediately sweeping across in an attack.

The Sword Radiance transformed into a Wind Blade, chopping towards Xu Nian at waist level. Discover exclusive tales on empire

Xu Nian dared not slack off, Spiritual Energy surged, his sword slashing out with force in response.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian's sword collided with Ding Hao's Sword Radiance, emitting a thunderous noise.

The force transmitted through the sword forced Xu Nian back three steps.

It had to be said, the Seven-star Martial Sect was still the Seven-star Martial Sect, the gap in their levels was somewhat large compared to Xu Nian's.

However, Xu Nian's swordsmanship realm compensated for the gap in his Cultivation.

"Die! Heavenly Rank Sword Technique, Seven Killings Absolute Wind Slash!"

Just then, Ding Hao attacked again.

His sword slashed through the air, the Sword Qi surged tremendously, incredibly fast.

The Sword Radiance surging on the blade was terrifyingly formidable.

"What a powerful, fast sword!" everyone around exclaimed.

Ding Hao was really being ruthless, directly using the Heavenly Rank Sword Technique.

He was out to kill Xu Nian!

If Xu Nian couldn't block it, he might very well lose his life today.

In the crowd, Lin Rock and Sun Zhan exchanged a smile.

It seemed to say, this was Ding Hao's true character; those who provoked him were undeniably doomed.

At this moment, Zhao Yanyun was frowning deeply, her Spiritual Energy starting to surge, ready to intervene and save Xu Nian at any moment.

Chen Yao also looked anxious, worried for Xu Nian.

However, just when everyone thought that Xu Nian couldn't withstand the sword.

A slight smile curled up on Xu Nian's lips.

"Thinking you can kill me... you're too naive. Taste my newly mastered move," Ultimate Kill, Fierce Blade Dance!"

With a low shout, Xu Nian's sword seemed to transform illusionarily, instantly striking eighteen times.

Suddenly, the Sword Qi danced wildly, rushing towards the approaching Ding Hao.

"Ah!"

Ding Hao's Sword Radiance was instantly broken, and his body suddenly had numerous cuts, each deep enough to see bone.

The strong impact threw him back several meters, his body bloodied all over.

Meanwhile, Xu Nian stood with his sword at the original spot, his robe fluttering, standing unshaken amidst the howling wind.

Everyone around was dumbstruck, looking at Ding Hao who had fallen on the ground, then at Xu Nian holding the sword, utterly shocked.

Ding Hao had actually truly been defeated.

A Seven-star Martial Sect member had lost to a One-star Martial Sect member.
