Ding Feng's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Xu Nian.
His fingers turned into claws, covered with sharp spiritual energy, and he ferociously clawed at Xu Nian.
The bone claws were exceedingly sharp, seeming as though they could tear through Xuan Iron.
However, despite the ferocity of Ding Feng's bone claws, they appeared full of flaws in the eyes of Xu Nian.
"Too slow, dear great-grandson!"
Xu Nian reacted later but acted swiftly, delivering a fierce knee strike to Ding Feng's abdomen.
Then he followed it with a flying kick that instantly sent Ding Feng flying.
Ding Feng's figure flew backward, crashing directly into a pillar of the Emperor Palace behind him, shattering the stone pillar made of white jade stone.
The two one-star Battle Generals behind Ding Feng showed surprise in their eyes.
Ding Feng had broken through to the Two-star Battle General realm just two days ago, his strength far surpassing that of a One-star Battle General, yet he was no match for the young man before him.
A look of disbelief crossed Ding Feng's face too; Xu Nian was even more formidable than he had imagined.
He originally thought that Xu Nian might at most possess the strength of a One-star Battle General,
but now it seemed Xu Nian's combat power far exceeded his expectations.
Fang Chen, however, watched Xu Nian with cold eyes. Although somewhat astonished, a disdainful indifference lingered deep in his gaze.
"Attack! Kill him!" Ding Feng ordered the two Battle Generals behind him.
"Yes!" The Battle Generals responded and charged at Xu Nian with their swords.
A cold smirk curled at the corner of Xu Nian's mouth.
Now a Divine Demon Body Refiner at the Peak of Eight-star, he alone, with his physical strength, was more than enough to annihilate a One-star Battle General.
These two One-star Battle Generals were utterly incapable of standing against him.
"Die!" One of the One-star Battle Generals flew forward, slashing a sword downward from the air, aiming to obliterate Xu Nian in one strike.
Xu Nian roared and directly punched at the chest of the One-star Battle General.
His fist moved as fast as lightning, and the Gang Qi, driven by the Collapse Thunder Fist technique, burst forth.
As Xu Nian's fist made contact with the body, the Gang Qi explosively burst, instantly blasting the One-star Battle General into pieces.
"This..." The other One-star Battle General, who was preparing to attack Xu Nian, suddenly widened his eyes and, with a tap on the ground, rapidly retreated backward.
Holy crap, a punch had just killed a One-star Battle General.
How could they continue to fight?
Wasn't this seeking death?
Yet Xu Nian simply smirked coldly, watching the retreating One-star Battle General. He fiercely stamped on the ground.
The Xuan Iron Sword that had fallen on the ground was instantly shaken up, and Xu Nian flicked the end of the sword handle on impulse.
The sharp sword instantly turned into a shadowy afterimage, chasing down the One-star Battle General.
The One-star Battle General's eyes turned cold, and he quickly halted his movement, swinging his sword towards the incoming blade.
However, the moment his sword touched the tip of the flying sword, his own sword was knocked away, and the unobstructed flying blade directly pierced through his brow, nailing him to the stone pillar of the grand hall.
The Xuan Iron Sword sank two feet deep into the stone pillar, and the vibrations from the massive tremor of the Xuan Iron Sword still echoed from the hilt, while the One-star Battle General had already lost all signs of life.
Ding Feng was dumbfounded by the scene.
In just a moment, two of his subordinates had been killed.
Killing a One-star Battle General as if slaughtering a chicken, he admitted he absolutely couldn't achieve that.
"How can he be so strong? Without the strength of a Peak of Two-star War General, this would be absolutely impossible. Wasn't it said that he had just joined the Battle Mansion three months ago?" Ding Feng thought in shock, even doubting his own eyes.
Before coming here, he had sworn to his father that he would definitely kill Xu Nian to avenge his brother.
But now, the strength displayed by Xu Nian made him feel somewhat fearful.
"Ha ha, Ding Feng, weren't you always so arrogant? Now you've finally witnessed Xu Nian's strength, haven't you?" Chen Wudi laughed as he approached from afar, with Zhao Yanyun, Chen Yao, and Chen An also following behind him.
On hearing Chen Wudi's words, a strong surge of anger immediately welled up in Ding Feng's eyes.
He and Chen Wudi were old acquaintances, and Chen Wudi had humiliated him in the past.
After Chen Wudi had been crippled, Ding Feng had once declared himself to be the number one genius of the county.
Now, hearing Chen Wudi's mockery, it made him feel as if he had been slapped in the face.
However, Ding Feng's gaze quickly fell on Chen Yao and Zhao Yanyun, and with a lecherous smile, he said to Fang Chen beside him, "Mr. Fang, those two are the breathtaking beauties I told you about. See if you are satisfied?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Chen also shifted his gaze to Chen Yao and Zhao Yanyun, his lips curling into a lascivious smile.
"They are indeed rare gems. You've done well. After this trip to the ancestral land ends, I will put in a few good words for you with your father," Fang Chen said lightly, his gaze roaming over the graceful bodies of Chen Yao and Zhao Yanyun, his eyes unabashedly filled with greed.
Chen Yao and Zhao Yanyun felt uncomfortable under Fang Chen's gaze, both women slightly furrowing their brows.
Xu Nian also felt a surge of anger; this Fang Chen was actually eyeing the two women.
"Boy, I've seen your fighting, seventeen years old, Dual Cultivation of Spiritual Body, possessing Cultivation akin to a Peak of Two-star War General from Nine-star War Sect and Eight-star Body Sect, truly a rare genius. I give you a chance, submit to me, be my slave, and I can spare your life," Fang Chen arrogantly said to Xu Nian.
"Spare my life? Make me your slave?" Xu Nian laughed angrily.
He knew the young man before him was arrogant, but he didn't expect him to be delusional to this extent.
"I know you're not convinced, but what I want to tell you is that your strength and talent are nothing but dog shit in front of me. The world you see is too small, there are some things you can't even imagine. Submitting to me is your greatest honor," Fang Chen said with a look of scorn for the world.
"Bah! You're not even worthy to carry my brother's shoes, yet you dream of making my brother submit to you. Go have your pipe dream," Chen Wudi said with disdain.
A hint of anger flashed through Fang Chen's eyes, but he didn't bother with Chen Wudi.
Instead, he turned his head to look at Xu Nian, apparently waiting for his answer.
Xu Nian snorted, looking seriously at the arrogant Fang Chen, "If you want me to submit to you, just have your mother remarry me, and I will agree immediately!"
Both Chen Wudi and Chen An couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.
Even Chen Yao and Zhao Yanyun covered their mouths, snickering, finding Xu Nian to be quite bad.
Fang Chen's face immediately darkened, his eyes glaring deadly at Xu Nian.
"You don't know how to live. You're seeking death. I'll let you know the consequences of offending me, Fang Chen. All three of you must die, and you two, I will make you kneel before me, crying and begging for mercy," Fang Chen bellowed furiously.
After saying this, he lunged towards Xu Nian explosively, the floor beneath his feet shattering as he darted forward.
Xu Nian's words had released the anger in his heart like a bursting dam, violently turbulent.
