Chapter 1157: Chapter 1157: Zhen Shocks the Entire Arena
Wu Xiaoxi’s eyes widened, looking at the scene in disbelief.
Although she had long felt that Xu Nian’s strength was extraordinary, she hadn’t held much hope in her heart.
But now she felt that even the Xu Nian brother she imagined wasn’t as formidable in reality.
A single glance that could kill someone, what kind of power is this?
Xu Nian observed the astonished gazes of the crowd, a faint smile on his face.
In that moment, he had activated the Gray Dragon Eye.
Using the soul power of the Gray Dragon Eye, he instantly harnessed the power within that One-star Battle Emperor, causing self-destruction.
Although Xu Nian’s cultivation was suppressed, the essence of his soul could not be restrained.
Therefore, Xu Nian’s soul power was still beyond the imagination of these people.
The Nine-star War Emperor watched as his companion’s body exploded, disbelief in his eyes.
He looked at Xu Nian with uncertainty.
"Hmph, pretending to be mysterious, kid, don’t think I don’t know, everything just now was just a trick to scare me away, I don’t believe you can kill me with just a look," the Nine-star War Emperor sneered, convinced that the young man before him was using some means to deliberately intimidate him.
"Scare you? Do you know who he is?" Fang Mo asked coldly, his tone full of disdain.
The Nine-star War Emperor hesitated momentarily at Fang Mo’s words.
"He is none other than Xu Nian, our former Hall Master of the Divine River Palace, who once unified the Tianhen Continent," Fang Mo said.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around widened their eyes at Xu Nian.
They had all heard of Xu Nian’s feats.
They all knew that several years ago, there was a young man who once unified the continent, completely overthrowing a dynasty.
Afterward, that young man crossed the sea and ventured into the distant Cultivation World.
Who would have thought that the young man standing before them now was that very boy from before?
Wu Xiaoxi was also surprised, not expecting that Brother Xu Nian was the legendary Genius Emperor.
Wu Daniu was now sweating profusely, finally understanding who he had just dealt with.
The thought alone sent a chill down his spine; if Xu Nian wanted to kill him, it would be effortlessly easy.
But, thinking back, it was obvious that someone capable of producing ten million top-grade spirit stones couldn’t be someone ordinary.
Upon hearing this, the Nine-star War Emperor’s face turned pale with fear.
"Retreat!"
The Nine-star War Emperor gave the order and immediately turned to flee.
The remaining eighteen Marquis Warriors swiftly followed.
If even the Nine-star War Emperor had fled, staying behind was certainly suicidal.
Xu Nian watched them run without a hint of panic on his face, waving his hand.
A small stone from the ground flew up, spinning rapidly in the palm of his hand.
"Whizz!"
Xu Nian flicked his finger.
The stone shot out at high speed.
The scene that followed left everyone stunned.
The nineteen warriors were chased down by the stone and absorbed.
Yes, absorbed.
Even the Nine-star War Emperor was absorbed by the stone.
Li Qingxian and Fang Mo exchanged a look of shock.
Li Qingxian couldn’t help but fly to where the stone fell, picking it up.
He found that the stone was no different from an ordinary stone, except that there were nineteen extremely tiny human figures on it.
"This..."
Li Qingxian was instantly terrified, throwing the stone away in horror.
What kind of method was this?
To be powerful enough to this extent?
Using an ordinary stone to devour nineteen people, is this the power a cultivator possesses?
Xu Nian, seeing the astonished Li Qingxian and Fang Mo, smiled and said: "With your current strength, it’s impossible to understand, but when you reach the Earth Immortal Realm or the Fourth Level of Profound Argumentation Domain, you will understand."
Li Qingxian and Fang Mo shook their heads helplessly.
Earth Immortal Realm, what a level that is.
As for the Fourth Level of Profound Argumentation Domain, they had no idea what it was.
Seeing their expressions, Xu Nian didn’t offer further explanations.
Some things are of no use being explained now.
And the move he just performed was the Gravity Space Profound Argumentation Sky Heavy Finger he had recently comprehended.
Unlike before, he only used overwhelming gravity to forcibly compress the nineteen individuals.
This kind of technique can only be used on those with a vast difference in power, not effective on those with equivalent or not vastly different strength.
The members of the Star River Mercenary Corps looked at Xu Nian with eyes akin to gazing at an Immortal.
In their eyes, the techniques Xu Nian had just performed were completely the handiwork of an Immortal.
Killing with a gaze!
Killing with a flick!
These were things beyond their wildest imaginations.
But it also showed them how strong one could become if they cultivated.
"Since Wu Daniu has sold all the Ice Jade Stones to me, your mission as the Star River Mercenary Corps is complete, and you may leave," Xu Nian said to the mercenary group.
"Thank you!" Li Qingxian bowed to Xu Nian and then led the mercenary group away.
The others likewise paid respects.
Because they knew, Xu Nian was doing this for their good.
The risk of this mission had surpassed what they could bear, and continuing on might lead them to a dead end.
The Star River Mercenary Corps departed quickly.
Wu Daniu was also about to leave with his daughter, Wu Xiaoxi.
Wu Xiaoxi felt somewhat reluctant.
"Wu Daniu, I’ve already taught your daughter cultivation, so don’t be stingy with those spirit stones, as long as she cultivates well, her future strength will surely not be inferior to this Nine-star War Emperor," Xu Nian said to Wu Daniu.
"Really, thank you, Lord Xu Nian!" Wu Daniu said excitedly.
Although he was a businessman, it was also due to his lack of talent.
Now, hearing that his daughter could become a Nine-star War Emperor, he was thrilled.
Xu Nian waved his hand, signaling them to leave.
"Brother Xu Nian, take care!" Wu Xiaoxi said reluctantly, finally leaving under Wu Daniu’s urging.
Thus, only Xu Nian and Fang Mo remained on the imperial capital trail.
"Hall Master, what are your plans next?" Fang Mo asked, now even more respectful after witnessing Xu Nian’s power.
If Xu Nian could impart even a small portion of his skills, it would be immensely beneficial.
"Come with me to the Imperial Capital first, also, send a message to Wu Dong, telling him to meet me in the West Desert," Xu Nian instructed Fang Mo.
"Yes, Hall Master!" Fang Mo responded immediately, filled with joy.
Traveling with Xu Nian was undoubtedly a great fortune.
Xu Nian seemed to read his thoughts, smiling as he said, "Anyway, there’s nothing much on the road, if you have any questions about cultivation, feel free to ask me."
"That’s great!" Fang Mo’s eyes lit up.
Xu Nian smiled, flying onward while absorbing the Ice Jade Marrow from the Ice Jade Stone, beginning to transform his Immortal Essence.
