The three assassins gazed at the giant ox in front of them, its size akin to a mountain peak.
They felt their hearts were about to leap out of their chests.
They really wished they could slap this young man dead at this moment.
And then thoroughly question the young man.
Is this the ox you said you were raising?
Your ox is this huge?
And it's even a Saint Level Demon Beast?
Princess Ice Spirit was also shocked beyond measure.
Although she had seen Xu Nian flying, considering how young he was,
it was already incredible that he could reach the Battle King Realm; how could he possibly be a match for these three assassins?
But now she had to start doubting.
Did this young man actually possess a Saint Level Demon Beast?
Then what level of Cultivation could this young man have?
The three assassins realized something was wrong and hurriedly tried to scatter in all directions.
"Think you can escape? Do you think this king would let you get away?"
Bull Demon King huffed loudly, his voice booming like thunder.
Then, the three assassins saw an enormous hoof descending fiercely upon them.
One of the assassins, an Eight-star Battle King, didn't have time to dodge and was immediately crushed into a pulp by the hoof.
Another Eight-star Battle King saw this scene and was scared out of his wits.
He quickly took to the sky in flight.
"So eager to flee? Let me give you a push!"
The Bull Demon King chuckled lightly and gave the Eight-star Battle King a kick.
That Eight-star Battle King turned into a shooting star, disappearing into the horizon.
That kick probably sent him beyond the atmosphere.
At the Battle King's strength, there was no chance of survival out there.
Therefore, the kicked Battle King was undoubtedly dead.
In the blink of an eye, two of the three assassins had been killed.
Only the last Nine-star War King remained.

Seeing the situation was grim, the Nine-star War King realized the likelihood of escaping from this Saint Demon Beast was next to impossible.
His eyes blazed with a fierce light.
Instead of choosing to flee, he charged at Xu Nian.
Since the young man had said this Saint Demon Beast was his own,
if he could kill the master, the Spiritual Beast would follow suit in death.
Thus, not only could he save himself, but he could also kill Princess Ice Spirit.
As for the strength of the young man, he truly believed he could kill him instantly.
The Nine-star War King swung his Battle Saber as he rapidly rushed toward Xu Nian.
He thought himself to be incredibly clever.
Those other two fools.
Actually trying to escape from the clutches of a Saint Demon Beast.
In a flash, the Nine-star War King was in front of Xu Nian.
The next moment, his Battle Saber was about to dismember Xu Nian.
But Xu Nian seemed oblivious, standing still without moving a muscle.
Princess Ice Spirit also showed a look of panic, seemingly wanting to step in and stop the Nine-star War King.
However, her speed could not keep up with the Nine-star War King's movements.
She could only watch helplessly as the Battle Saber swung towards Xu Nian.
Princess Ice Spirit furrowed her brow tightly.
She thought to herself that it was over!
If this young man could just block or dodge, it would be something!
How could he stand there without moving, letting the Battle Saber slash towards him?
Is this not waiting for death?
The young hero's death would surely lead to the Saint Demon Beast's destruction as well.
The hope that had sparked was thus extinguished alongside.
However, just when Princess Ice Spirit thought Xu Nian would be cleaved in twain by the saber,
An astonishing scene unfolded.
Xu Nian, at some unknown time, had produced a hand that caught the Battle Saber.
And on Xu Nian's palm, a gauntlet had appeared.
Indeed, it was the Spiritual Artifact gauntlet he had acquired from killing a One-star Body Saint.
Blocking the Nine-star War King's peculiar metal Battle Saber was more than sufficient.
The Nine-star War King was taken aback.
He had not expected this young hero to possess a Spiritual Artifact as well.
But even with a Spiritual Artifact, how could the young man withstand such a powerful strike?
Before the Nine-star War King could come to a conclusion, his weapon, made of peculiar metal, was snapped in half by Xu Nian's palm.
The Nine-star War King's eyes widened in shock.
If Xu Nian had blocked his strike with the Spiritual Artifact gauntlet,
Then breaking this peculiar metal Battle Saber was certainly not as simple as just relying on a gauntlet.
Ice Spirit Princess was equally astonished on the side.
She turned to look at the Demon Saint Giant Bull beside her only to find that the Giant Bull had maintained a mocking expression, showing no intention to intervene.
It was at this time that she realized the young hero's strength might be far more terrifying than she had imagined.
"Who... who exactly are you?"
The Nine-star War King realized this was no ordinary young hero. He retreated several steps in fear.
"Who I am isn't important, what is important is that you'll soon be dead. I didn't want to get involved, but since you're trying to kill me to silence me, I have no choice but to kill you," Xu Nian explained with an expression of helpless regret.
Enraged, the Nine-star War King rued not the act of silencing witnesses,
But lamented his own terrible fortune for encountering such a disaster right before completing his mission.
"If you kill me, the Crown Prince won't let you off. You won't have a good death either," the Nine-star War King said with venomous resentment.
"The Crown Prince?" Xu Nian paused.
Could it be that the Tianji Pavilion is a power cultivated by the Crown Prince?
But why would he want to kill Princess Ice Spirit?
She's supposed to be his sister, isn't she?
Upon hearing this, Princess Ice Spirit's gaze turned icy cold.
Xu Nian instantly understood that the Imperial Family was not as united as he had imagined.
Undercurrents were swirling, ready to erupt.
Of course, this was none of his business. As long as they did not provoke him, he was too lazy to bother.
Seeing Xu Nian pause, the Nine-star War King thought Xu Nian was intimidated and quickly continued, "If you know what's good for you, you'll let me go. The Crown Prince will be Emperor Tianhen in the future, with an unparalleled status. If you submit to the Crown Prince, I can recommend you to him!"
When he said this, his tone was smug.
He believed that anyone hearing these words would surely be moved.
"Ha ha, a recommendation? Don't you know what I detest most are threats? Actually, I'm quite familiar with King Yan; let me give you an introduction right now!" Xu Nian laughed heartily, but as he finished speaking,
His eyes suddenly sharpened.
With a flick of his finger, the broken piece of sword transformed into a frightening shadow.
Instantly, the Nine-star War King was sent flying backward, impaled by the blade tip.
The tip pierced through his chest and pinned him firmly against a massive rock.
The Nine-star War King's eyes were filled with intense unwillingness, pointing at Xu Nian as if he wanted to say something.
However, after uttering only one word, his raised hand drooped down lifelessly.
The blade had pierced his heart, sealing his fate.
Xia Bingling stood by, her eyes brimming with surprise.
A Nine-star War King so easily slain.
What level of strength did this young hero possess?
