Divine King of Honour-Chapter 258: The Power of Black Hou (9th Update)

As Xu Nian accepted the frenzied infusion of power, the battle outside had reached a fever pitch.

The Three Great Saints were locked in a fierce battle with the Demon Beast, but they were being overwhelmingly suppressed by it.

"Haha, it’s been a long time since I’ve stretched my muscles. You three juniors are really too weak, far inferior to Qi Baiyu back in his day," the Demon Beast laughed heartily.

It easily handled the attacks from the Three Great Saints, paying no earnest attention to their onslaught, as if it were simply toying with them.

In contrast, the three Saints found the battle incredibly taxing.

Among them, the strongest was the Artifact Refining Sect Master, who was at the Seven-star Saint Realm.

The other two Elders, however, were only at the Four-star Saint Realm.

Together, they stood no chance of victory against such a peak-level Saint Demon Beast.

If the Demon Beast had been serious from the start, they probably would have already been defeated.

"What do we do, Sect Master? This Demon Beast is too strong," the Great Elder transmitted his voice to the Artifact Refining Sect Master.

"You and Elder Han take the Sect’s disciples and hold it off. I’ll do everything in my power to delay it," the Artifact Refining Sect Master transmitted back.

"Okay!" the Great Elder nodded in agreement and then rushed towards the Sect’s disciples along with the Elder.

The Demon Beast, seeing the two flee without a fight, revealed a hint of a sneer on its face. Enjoy new chapters from novelbuddy

"Haha, think you can escape? It won’t be that easy. Today, not a single one from the Artifact Refining Sect shall escape," the Demon Beast laughed loudly, and with that, its figure split in two, chasing after the two Elders directly.

The Artifact Refining Sect Master was shocked and quickly shouted, "Be careful!"

The two Elders also realized the danger and turned around hastily.

However, before they could react, they discovered the Demon Beast’s figure already looming before them.

"Down you go!"

The Demon Beast let out a cold laugh and instantly slapped his palm onto the chests of the two Elders.

"Bang!"

Without any power to resist, the two Elders crashed to the ground like meteorites, creating a vast deep pit upon impact.

The people around were utterly dumbfounded.

These were Saints, and yet they were powerless before this Demon Beast.

The Artifact Refining Sect Master was also astonished, looking at the two Elders lying in the pit, a surge of intense anger welling up in his eyes.

Although the two Elders were not dead, this single blow had caused them severe injuries, leaving them with no strength to fight again.

"So boring, too weak," the Demon Beast sneered with disdain, then turned its head towards the Artifact Refining Sect Master and coldly said, "Kid, so you’re the new Sect Master of the Artifact Refining Sect, huh? Your Sect isn’t quite impressive, nothing like back in Qi Baiyu’s heyday!"

The Artifact Refining Sect Master’s eyes narrowed, a chill emanated from within.

"Senior, since you’ve freed yourself, why not simply leave? Why harm the people of my Sect?" the Artifact Refining Sect Master asked coldly.

"Haha, Qi Baiyu trapped me for three thousand years. What’s wrong with killing a few of his disciples and grandchildren? I’ve already said no one from the Artifact Refining Sect will live today," the Demon Beast laughed heartily.

"So, it’s a fight to the death?" the Artifact Refining Sect Master clenched his fists and said.

"What if it is? Do you think you might kill me?" the Demon Beast mocked.

The eyes of the Artifact Refining Sect Master suddenly grew sharp, and a powerful aura erupted from him.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and strong thunder surged within them.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning thundered down, striking the Artifact Refining Sect Master directly.

Not only was the Artifact Refining Sect Master unharmed, but his aura also became even more ferocious.

Terrible thunder entwined around him, like a Thunder Dragon.

"Die!"

The Artifact Refining Sect Master squeezed out a word, and his whole being charged towards the Demon Beast.

His fist burst forth, infused with the terrifying might of thunder.

"Strong!" Disciples from various sects at a distance all showed a look of astonishment, their eyes filled with hope.

"The Thunderclap Secret Technique, interesting, but it seems not good enough."

However, Black Hou snorted coldly. Watching the Artifact Refining Sect Master’s punch rushing towards him, he unleashed a punch of his own.

"Boom!"

Lightning exploded, and the ground shook violently.

The Artifact Refining Sect Master’s body instantly flew backward.

Yet Black Hou’s body remained unmoved, standing tall in the air like an iron tower.

Those around were astonished, pondering how powerful this Demon Beast could be.

Even the Sect Master, using the Thunderclap Secret Technique, was no match for it?

Black Hou sneered, his figure flashed as he pursued, stepping directly on the chest of the Artifact Refining Sect Master.

"Boom!"

The Artifact Refining Sect Master’s body was instantly crushed from the sky by Black Hou, causing a thunderous roar upon impact.

Where the Artifact Refining Sect Master fell, a huge crater with a diameter of a hundred meters formed.

The disciples of the Artifact Refining Sect had their eyes turning red instantly; this was their Sect Master.

To be stomped from the sky by this Demon Beast.

The disciples all clenched their fists, their eyes filled with intense anger.

Of course, more than that, they were afraid; the Demon Beast in front of them was too powerful.

Their sect’s Three Great Saints were not its match, and they would be sending themselves to death if they went up.

Yann Hong and Yann Xi also had angry expressions on their beautiful faces, yet they were helpless.

"Run!"

The Artifact Refining Sect Master in the crater shouted desperately, struggling to stand up.

Hearing this, Black Hou immediately turned his gaze toward those distant disciples.

"Ha ha, you humans are so melodramatic, even on the verge of death, you still care for others. Well, since you’re so concerned about them, I’ll kill them all right before your eyes," Black Hou laughed wildly and then swept toward the disciples.

"Don’t!" The Artifact Refining Sect Master screamed, trying to stop him, but after struggling for a moment, he fell to the ground again.

The surrounding disciples, seeing the Demon Beast charging at them, showed extremely terrified expressions.

"Run! I’ll hold him back!" Yann Hong shouted, about to intercept.

Black Hou’s eyes flashed with disdain, and with a wave of his hand, he sent Yann Hong flying out.

He then continued toward the disciples.

The disciples were all frozen in place by Black Hou’s presence, unable to move.

Black Hou sneered coldly and was about to kill the group of disciples.

"Ah, I can’t take this anymore!"

At that moment, a roar suddenly came from the Sky-reaching Tower, followed by an explosion, and a figure shot out from the tower.

Soaring into the sky, then it crashed down onto the ground.

The earth trembled violently.

Where the person landed, the ground formed a crater three hundred meters in diameter.

Black Hou was also startled by this sudden force, immediately abandoning the pursuit of the disciples, his eyes fixed on the figure that had unexpectedly emerged, a strong fury rising in his gaze.

"Qi... Bai... yu!" Black Hou squeezed out these three words between clenched teeth, his eyes ablaze with the black flames of immense killing intent.

However, the surrounding disciples were all surprised, because the one who had shot out from the Sky-reaching Tower—

If not Xu Nian, then who could it be?
