Xu Nian looked at the two figures approaching.
Among them, a middle-aged man clad in black armor, his face full of arrogance.
His cultivation had already reached the peak of the Supreme Battle Emperor at the Pseudo Purple Mansion Level.
However, the one walking in front of him was a youth dressed in an elegant purple robe.
This youth's cultivation was extremely high.
Clearly higher than that of the middle-aged man.
He had reached the realm of the Supreme Battle Emperor at the Pseudo Void Level.
This youngster was even more haughty, nose pointed skyward, as if he regarded no one else present.
Xu Nian sneered inwardly at this scene.
It was clear that these two were up to no good.
And that spear from earlier had been exceptionally vicious in its strike.
If Xu Nian's cultivation had been any less, he likely would have perished by that spear.
"Who are you people? Why did you attack me?" Xu Nian asked coldly.
The actions of the two before him had clearly incited his anger.
"Hmph, you touched something belonging to our young master, so you tell me why I shouldn't attack you?" the black-armored man retorted with disdain.
The youth in the brocaded garment even showed a look of scorn.
"Something belonging to your young master? Are you referring to this Qingluo Jade Immortal Flower?" Xu Nian asked with a light chuckle.
"That's right, this Spiritual Medicine was discovered first by our young master. That rock was placed there by our young master, too. It was all so he could wait for the flower to bloom before retrieving it; hence, if you know what's good for you, you'd better scram," the black-armored man bellowed.
Xu Nian burst into laughter.
The black-armored man's words were truly laughable.
As if this Spiritual Medicine really was something they had discovered a long time ago.
Even if at the time the medicine hadn't bloomed and couldn't be picked,
Most people would move it, definitely not casually press a large rock on top of it.
Moreover, judging from the marks on the rock, it was quite obvious that the stone had been there for hundreds of years.
So, Xu Nian could tell at a glance that these two were making unreasonable claims.
"You say this Spiritual Medicine was discovered by you first—is that so? Where's the proof?" Xu Nian asked with a sneer.
The black-armored man and the brocaded youth immediately grew displeased.
Many Sea Demons had already gathered around upon hearing the commotion, pointing at Xu Nian and whispering among themselves.
Their implications were clear; evidently, they thought Xu Nian was courting death.
"Proof, kid? It looks like your brain is damaged. Do you know who my young master is? He is the son of our Xuanwu Clan's South Pacify General, so what he says is the proof," said the black-armored man with contempt.
The bystanders also murmured amongst themselves.
"Yeah, where is this guy from, daring to compete with Luo Hen over treasures?"
"Luo Hen is the son of our Xuanwu Clan's South Pacify General, and his cultivation has reached the realm of the Supreme Battle Emperor at the Pseudo Void Level. Anyone who angers Luo Hen never ends well."
"That's right, not to mention Luo Hen, even the guard beside him is a strong Pseudo Purple Mansion Level expert. The last time a Sea Demon was blind enough to compete with Luo Hen for treasure, he ended up getting beaten so badly by his guard, he didn't dare even fart in protest."
"I think this guy must be some numbskull who's popped up from somewhere."
The Sea Demons around were all pointing and saying Xu Nian was looking for death.
Xu Nian, however, couldn't help but chuckle.
Because he had used the Kun Cave Power of the Black Jade to conceal his aura completely,
None of these Sea Demons could tell that Xu Nian was a human.
"The son of the South Pacify General? Sorry, I really don't recognize him," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the youth in the brocade garment's expressions immediately darkened as his gaze at Xu Nian turned angry.
The surrounding crowd's murmuring turned even more fervent.
All of them were basically saying that this young man was seeking death.
Not even knowing who the South Pacify General is.
"Boy, do you realize what you're saying? The South Pacify General is the number one general of our Xuanwu Clan. You're saying you don't recognize him?" the black-armored man said angrily.
"Should I recognize him?" asked Xu Nian, still smiling.
"You…" The black-armored man's eyes flashed with even more fury.
The silk-robed youth also felt a surge of anger.
He looked at Xu Nian with extreme displeasure in his eyes.
Xu Nian, however, simply chuckled.
He who was unafraid of the millions-strong army of the Shark Clan, bold enough to kill the Shark Emperor himself,
Would he fear a general of the Xuanwu Clan?
As for Xuan Hong, he had remained hands in sleeves, indifferent throughout.
Now that Xu Nian's strength had grown, he no longer needed Xuan Hong's protection.
As long as they remained within these confined heavens and earth, Xu Nian's cultivation was above him.
Of course, once they left this realm, he would truly be in the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm.
While Xu Nian would still have to slowly cultivate from the Zifu Level.
"Boy, cut the chatter. Are you giving up the spiritual medicine or not?" the black-armored man coldly huffed.
With a beckoning gesture,
The Thunder Spear flew straight back to him.
As soon as the Thunder Spear was in hand,
A terrifying burst of thunder instantly exploded.
The dreadful lightning caused all the sea demons nearby to shudder with fear.
When Xu Nian witnessed this scene, a hint of amusement gleamed in his eyes.
This level of thunder was probably incapable of harming him in the slightest.
"In one word, no!" Xu Nian replied with a smile.
"You're courting death!" The black-armored man was instantly enraged.
He then stomped his foot on the ground,
And his body shot forth like a rampaging thunderbolt.
The Thunder Spear in his hand shone like a beam of light, illuminating the entire sea area.
"It's over, that kid is done for. Black Element has made his move; he's the kind that kills without even blinking."
"Indeed, his Thunderclap Sky Explosion Profound Argumentation is very terrifying. One strike and even a general Pseudo Purple Mansion Level Supreme Battle Emperor can't withstand it. I think this lad is at most of Battle Emperor Level strength."
"Yes, such a young age, and he's about to die so soon, he truly is a greenhorn."
The surrounding discussion buzzed continuously.
Everyone seemed to think that the young man would die at the hands of this black-armored man.
The dressed-up youth in the distance also sneered.
Clearly, he too believed that this young man was no match for his guard.
The black-armored guard also revealed a light smile as he instantly approached Xu Nian.
At this moment, he imagined the scene where his Thunder Spear would pierce through the young man's body.
He wanted to see if the young man would still dare to be so arrogant then.
However, just as the Thunder Spear was about to pierce the young man's chest,
He found that the young man had caught the spear with one hand.
The thunder from the Thunder Spear struck the young man's arm but left not a single mark on it.
The black-armored guard exerted force, trying to thrust deeper.
However, the Thunder Spear seemed to be firmly welded in place,
Completely immovable.
"This... how is this possible?"
The surrounding crowd all showed expressions of astonishment.
Even the silk-robed youth displayed a look of surprise.
As for the black-armored man, his eyes were now wide open.
However, at that moment, he saw the young man in front of him giving him a cryptic smile.
And then he saw the Thunder Spear, forged from a strange metal, being broken in half just like that.
