Azure Dragon Sword Qi devoured Xia Zhengfeng.
No one could see the figure of Xia Zhengfeng.
They could only guess by feeling.
This Azure Dragon Sword Qi was composed of countless Wind Blades.
Each Wind Blade contained an immensely powerful Sword Qi and an imposing sword presence, each capable of killing a Battle Sect Level powerhouse.
Now, with so many Wind Blades congregating to form an Azure Dragon, Xia Zhengfeng was being devoured.
The chances of Xia Zhengfeng surviving were very low.
Of course, it wasn't certain.
After all, Xia Zhengfeng possessed Strange Metal Armor.
Xu Nian, holding a sharp sword, coldly watched the devoured figure of Xia Zhengfeng ahead.
There wasn't a trace of relaxation in his eyes.
The Azure Dragon Sword Qi instantly burst apart.
The figure of Xia Zhengfeng also became visible.
Xia Zhengfeng hadn't sustained any serious injuries.
His Strange Metal Armor had protected him.
"Indeed, he's not that easy to deal with. This Strange Metal Armor is too heaven-defying, capable of protecting every inch of the body's skin; ordinary attacks are utterly ineffective," Chen Wudi couldn't help but sigh.
Chen Yao and Chen Tiansheng both nodded in agreement.
Xia Zhengfeng, with strange metal protecting his body, could almost be said to be fearless against any attack.
Although Xu Nian's attack was powerful, it had not yet reached the point where it could break through the Strange Metal.
While Xia Zhengfeng hadn't been injured, his eyes at this moment were exceptionally dark.
His gaze towards Xu Nian was filled with endless killing intent.
If it weren't for the Strange Metal Armor protecting his body, he would probably be dead by now.
"You really surprise me, I must admit that your talent is indeed terrifying. You are the second person among countless geniuses I've seen whose potential makes me feel frightened," Xia Zhengfeng said coldly.
"Only second?" Xu Nian's lips revealed a hint of light smile.
He was curious who the first person was in Xia Zhengfeng's mouth.
And how strong their potential was.
"But everything will ultimately come to an end. Although your potential is frightening, don't forget, I've cultivated for many more years than you. These extra years weren't for nothing. What you've seen is merely the surface of my strength; next, I'll let you see my hidden true power."
Xia Zhengfeng's voice remained as cold as ever, but his tone contained a strong sense of authority.
"Oh? Hidden strength?" Xu Nian smiled slightly.
It seemed that Xia Zhengfeng, as an Imperial Prince, had a deeper foundation than he had imagined.
The expressions of Chen Wudi and others who were at a distance changed as well.
Xia Zhengfeng had even hidden his strength?
"Could it be... the Purple Dragon Technique?"
Chen Tiansheng seemed to have thought of something, his face showing surprise.
"The Purple Dragon Technique? What's that?" Chen Yao and Chen Tiansheng asked, puzzled.
"The Purple Dragon Technique is a powerful Body Refinement Realm unique to the Imperial Family, and essentially every member of the Imperial Family practices it. At first, when I saw him displaying Spiritual Cultivation, I thought he hadn't undergone Body Cultivation, it seems I thought too simplistically," said Chen Tiansheng.
Chen Wudi and Chen Yao's expressions changed.
So, this Xia Zhengfeng was engaged in Spirit Body Dual Cultivation?
"Spirit Body Dual Cultivation? Interesting, my Spiritual Sense actually didn't detect that. This Purple Dragon Technique must be quite special!" Upon hearing Chen Tiansheng's words, Xu Nian's expression also revealed a hint of surprise.
However, even if Xia Zhengfeng truly was engaged in Spirit Body Dual Cultivation, Xu Nian did not feel any fear.
After all, no matter how powerful the Body Refinement Realm was, in the face of Divine Demon Refining Body, it would still be easily defeated.
"Since you've already guessed, then I'll let you see our Xia Family's Purple Dragon Technique!" Xia Zhengfeng proclaimed proudly.
He then stepped forward, and a powerful dragon's might radiated from his body.
A dragon's roar emanated from within Xia Zhengfeng's body, followed by a purple dragon's shadow bursting forth, coiling directly around Xia Zhengfeng.
A formidable momentum instantly swept the surroundings, shaking everything in every direction.
"Eh, the Peak of Body General?"
Chen Wudi and the others all showed looks of astonishment on their faces.
Xia Zhengfeng's Body Cultivation had actually reached the peak of Body General.
Moreover, it was obvious that Xia Zhengfeng's Body Cultivation aura was several times stronger than that of an ordinary Body General at its peak.
Xu Nian was also somewhat surprised; he had not expected Xia Zhengfeng's Body Cultivation to be so advanced.
Moreover, within that purple Dragon Energy, Xu Nian actually felt a hint of the true essence of Dragon Energy.
It was very similar to that of the Extreme Purple Emperor Dragon ranked fifth among the Nine Great Divine Dragons.
"I haven't used the Purple Dragon Technique in a long time. You should be proud to have pushed me to use my Body Cultivation abilities, boy. Now, no matter how powerful your swordsmanship is, it's of no consequence before me, so it's time to end this," Xia Zhengfeng said arrogantly, emanating an emperor's might.
Chen Wudi and the others all wore grave expressions on their faces.
Although they knew Xu Nian practiced Spirit Body Dual Cultivation,
it was already quite an accomplishment for Xu Nian to have elevated his Spiritual Cultivation to the level of Four-star Battle General in such a short period.
His Body Cultivation likely hadn't made much progress, after all, Xu Nian hadn't used his Body Cultivation abilities from the start.
A smug smile curled on Xu Nian's lips as he planted his black sword firmly into the ground.
"You might be a bit premature in your declarations; just because you've hidden your strength, do you think I haven't?" Xu Nian laughed heartily.
With that, he also took a step forward.
The Divine Demon Gang Qi burst forth from his body.
The overturning power of a Four-star Body General surged out.
Moreover, this powerful Divine Demon Gang Qi was also mixed with potent Dragon Energy.
This was true Dragon Energy,
more authentic and powerful than the Dragon Energy Xia Zhengfeng had conjured with his Body Technique.
Therefore, the moment Xu Nian released his Body Cultivation presence, Xia Zhengfeng's Purple Dragon Technique actually began to tremble.
"How... how is this possible?"
Xia Zhengfeng's eyes widened, staring at Xu Nian, whose aura was not a bit inferior to his own, his face showing a look of utmost shock.
Chen Wudi and Chen Tiansheng were also wearing expressions of extreme surprise.
Peak of Four-star Body General?
It was one thing for his spiritual power to rise by several realms, but for his Body Cultivation to have soared this much too?
What exactly had Xu Nian experienced in these two months?
Could it be that he consumed some Immortal Pill?
"It's over, Xu the Monster has now evolved into Xu the Freak, who knows if he will turn into Xu the Horror?" Chen Wudi said, unable to help but make a quip while looking at the surging Xu Nian.
Chen Yao and Chen Tiansheng both nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Xia Zhengfeng's gaze also became utterly gloomy, with a strong Killing Intent emerging from the depths of his eyes.
Indeed, Xu Nian's potential had even made him, the Imperial Prince, feel fear.
With a loud roar, Xia Zhengfeng transformed into a purple shadow.
His fist thundered out, accompanied by a terrible roaring dragon cry.
Xu Nian, watching the punch Xia Zhengfeng hurled at him, simply curled the corners of his mouth into a light smile.
"Three-Forging Fist, Collapse Thunder!"
Xu Nian shouted softly, throwing a punch as well.
The terrifying Spiritual Energy exploded instantaneously.
Xia Zhengfeng was immediately sent flying by this fearsome Gang Qi.
"What? How can he be this strong?" Xia Zhengfeng exclaimed in utter shock.
The power in Xu Nian's fist far exceeded his imagination.
"The real surprise is yet to come!"
a cold voice exploded in Xia Zhengfeng's ear.
Xia Zhengfeng's pupils instantly constricted, his expression one of terror.
Unbeknownst to him, Xu Nian had already reappeared in front of him.
