Emperor Xuanwu and Jiao Long Emperor were both taken aback.
However, they quickly realized that a figure was standing in front of them.
"Xu Nian!" Emperor Xuanwu and Jiao Long Emperor both exclaimed in surprise.
Then, a look of joy appeared on their faces.
They knew that the soul attack by Fang Tu must have been blocked by the Xu Nian before them.
Otherwise, they couldn't possibly not feel the pain in their souls.
They just couldn't understand how Xu Nian had managed to block the soul attack.
On the other side, Fang Tu had also stopped in his tracks, his gaze extremely grave as he looked at Xu Nian.
The soul attack he had just launched had actually been dispersed by the young man before him.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in the Forbidden Sea Region.
If this had happened in the Cultivation World, he would not have been surprised in the least.
But in this Forbidden Sea Region, meeting someone capable of a soul attack was a very rare occurrence.
"Are you that Xu Nian?" Fang Tu asked as he looked at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian was also sizing up this Fang Tu.
With the Gray Dragon Eye cast, Xu Nian saw through Fang Tu's true form in one glance.
He hadn't expected that Fang Tu was actually a Jingzhe.
Jingzhe are a type of soft-bodied creature from the depths of the ocean, with very powerful soul attack abilities.
So seeing this guy's true form, Xu Nian wasn't surprised by his prowess with soul attacks.
"I am. I've heard you're looking for me?" Xu Nian asked with a light smile.
"That's right, hand over all the Jade Scrolls of the Dark God Island Master's Formation inheritance that you have," Fang Tu said.
"Why should I give them to you?" Xu Nian asked with a cold laugh.
Seeing this, Fang Tu's gaze became playful.
"On what grounds? Simply that I am stronger than you. If you do not hand them over, then I will have no choice but to kill you and take them myself," Fang Tu said.
"Is that so? You could try," Xu Nian said with a light laugh, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Seeking death, don't think that just because you blocked my soul attack, you can be my opponent. Let me tell you, I haven't even started to use my true abilities," Fang Tu's gaze darkened and became gloomy as he looked at Xu Nian, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.
Xu Nian, on the other hand, curled his lips into a cold smile.
"Stop your prattling. If you have the ability, just kill me. Otherwise, you'll soon lose the chance to try," Xu Nian said with a smile.
"Arrogant fool, die!" Fang Tu bellowed.
A Battle Saber appeared in his hand.
With a bell in one hand and the Battle Saber in the other.
A powerful wave of soul energy followed the sound of the bell and rushed towards Xu Nian's Mud Ball Palace at breakneck speed.
At the same time, Fang Tu swung his saber again, his eyes filled with a killing intent.
Xu Nian's cold smile grew even denser at this sight.
Emperor Xuanwu and Jiao Long Emperor standing behind him started to tense up for Xu Nian.
"I hope you don't regret this."
However, Xu Nian simply uttered these words lightly.
After he spoke, a terrifying killing intent burst forth from Xu Nian's body.
The dreadful killing intent instantly swept the surroundings.
In that moment, everyone felt as if they had suddenly fallen into an ice cellar.
Especially Fang Tu, who felt an unprecedented chill surge from the soles of his feet.
"How... how terrifying this killing intent is, how is it possible to emit such a strong killing intent?" Fang Tu thought in horror.
For some reason, a sense of retreat welled up in his heart.
But it was all too late.
Because he saw that an Immortal Sword had already appeared in Xu Nian's hand.
At that moment, it was swinging down towards him.
The intention to cut contained in the sword's edge was frighteningly powerful.
Fang Tu was shocked, hurriedly swinging his saber to block.
However, the power of Xu Nian's sword was terrifyingly frightening.
It split Fang Tu's Battle Saber in half directly.
And with it, Xu Nian also chopped down Fang Tu's entire arm.
Fang Tu immediately let out a scream, his face contorted in extreme pain.
He didn't linger, his figure swiftly retreating backwards.
Xu Nian was truly too terrifying.
The power of this sword had already surpassed the strength of a typical Supreme Battle Emperor at the Pseudo Heavenly Phenomenon Level.
It was infinitely close to a strike from a true Zifu Level powerhouse.
The most frightening part was Xu Nian's sharp gaze, which caused a tingling sensation throughout his body with just one look.
And his earlier Soul Attack had disappeared without a trace, as if swallowed by the vast ocean.
"What a terrifying person!" Fang Tu murmured to himself.
Emperor Xuanwu and Jiao Long Emperor, standing behind Xu Nian, were also utterly shocked.
"Is this Xu Nian's strength? So terrifying," Emperor Xuanwu thought to himself.
Although they had sparred with Xu Nian before,
Xu Nian had not shown his true strength.
Now, witnessing Xu Nian's sword strike,
He understood that Xu Nian's strength was entirely beyond his own.
Whale Emperor and Xuan Hong, who were engaged in battle nearby, also halted.
Whale Emperor, seeing Fang Tu's severed arm, had an expression of utter shock.
Even Fang Tu had been defeated.
However, before Whale Emperor could believe it, Fang Tu had already turned to escape.
Xu Nian watched Fang Tu turning to leave, a cold smile curling the corners of his mouth.
Then he took a step forward.
Fang Tu found himself thousands of feet away in an instant and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
Lucky for him he was fast, otherwise he would have truly lost his life there.
But just as he was preparing to continue his escape, a ripple of spatial fluctuation arrived.
A terrifying Sword Radiance came out of nowhere.
Fang Tu was panic-stricken.
However, the sword strike came too suddenly and too quickly.
He couldn't dodge at all and was cleaved into two.
"You…" Fang Tu's eyes widened as he stared intently at Xu Nian, who emerged from the spatial wormhole.
Only in death did he realize what kind of existence he had provoked.
This youngster was too frightening.
Silence reigned all around.
Emperor Xuanwu and Jiao Long Emperor were equally astounded.
Space Shuttling, a single sword strike killing Fang Tu.
Was this really the work of a human under twenty years old?
They had originally thought Xu Nian was only gifted in comprehension.
But they hadn't expected him to also be so strong.
Space Profound Argumentation!
This must be a very rare power even within the Cultivation World.
Of course, the most surprised at the moment was Whale Emperor.
Wouldn't that mean his own chances of survival were slim?
With this thought, Whale Emperor didn't hesitate for a second.
He quickly transformed into his true form and sped towards the direction of the Whale Clan.
Although Whale Emperor's true form was gigantic, his speed in the water was much faster than his human form.
Now fleeing at full strength, his speed was terrifyingly frightening.
However, Xu Nian merely smiled faintly.
This time he didn't give chase.
Instead, he brought out the Kunlun Hammer.
Then everyone saw Xu Nian smash the hammer onto the ground.
A terrifying vibration instantly emanated from the seabed.
"This is..." Emperor Xuanwu immediately recognized the move and his face showed a look of horror.
Shark Emperor and Jiao Long Emperor were confused.
But as they wondered why Xu Nian was attacking the ground,
the fleeing body of Whale Emperor suddenly exploded into a rain of blood, dyeing the sea red.
