Divine King of Honour-Chapter 837: Avatar Takes Action
The sound of air being torn apart transmitted through the skies.
Five figures appeared before Xuan Hong and his company.
Xuan Hong and Xuanyuan Qingling's brows furrowed immediately.
Among them, they recognized two people: Nangong Lie and Yuwen Gong.
They both came from the Tianxing Sect, so the identities of the other three elders were naturally revealed.
"May I ask what brings the esteemed elders of the Tianxing Sect here today?" Xuanyuan Qingling looked at the person ahead and asked.
As she spoke, she also used her mind to scan the surroundings.
She was surprised to find that the world around them was completely isolated.
Even their Spiritual Sense couldn't pass through.
Likewise, the outside couldn't detect the situation within.
"Huang Shishan, what is happening? How could a Formation suddenly appear here?" Meng Xiyao attacked the Formation wall twice, but both attempts were repelled by the wall's energy.
"Sister Xiyao, there's no use trying. This is likely the Qiankun Locking Sky Array. With our strength, we can't break it. It seems someone is targeting Xu Nian and set up this Formation long ago," Huang Shishan said.
As he spoke, a cold smile emerged in his heart.
Previously, Xu Nian didn't die on the Ascending Immortal Platform.
Now, he was trapped by the Qiankun Locking Sky Array.
Whoever could set up such a Formation must be immensely powerful.
So, in his view, Xu Nian was doomed.
"Who's bold enough to attack my benefactor? If I find out who it is, I'll have my father annihilate him!" Meng Xiyao said fiercely.
At the same time, Bu Keng, who had been silent on the side, glanced around with nervous eyes.
When the Formation was activated, he sensed danger.
So he escaped at the earliest opportunity.
He knew that, with his strength, staying inside wouldn't change anything.
It was better to escape and reduce Xu Nian's burden.
Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Qingling broke through the Formation and forcibly stayed in the Array Sect.
"Among the Thirty-Six Strategies, escaping is the best. Xu Nian, if you survive, I'll tell you a huge secret next time. Amitabha Buddha, I'm out!" Bu Keng turned into a golden light and vanished into the air.
He never had a deep bond with Xu Nian and had no intention of fighting to the death for him.
He called Xu Nian "boss" just to flatter him.
Even Xu Nian wouldn't consider him a brother to trust his life to.
...
Inside the Qiankun Locking Sky Array, Yuwen Gong, Nangong Lie, and the others stood, smiling lightly at the still-meditating Xu Nian.
This time they wanted to see where Xu Nian could escape to.
But what was Xuanyuan Qingling doing here?
"Xuanyuan Qingling, this is none of your business. Step aside, and we won't harm you. Our target is Xu Nian," Yuwen Gong said to Xuanyuan Qingling.
Despite seeing such a beauty, there was still a touch of longing in Yuwen Gong's heart.
So his tone was relatively gentle.
However, Xuanyuan Qingling didn't feel relieved. Instead, her expression grew more severe.
She glanced at the meditating Xu Nian.
Suddenly, she remembered their promise.
Her eyes quickly steeled with determination.
"You want to kill Xu Nian?" Xuanyuan Qingling asked.
"That's right. Xu Nian stole our Tianxing Sect's treasure and killed our disciple. We can't let him live. Xuanyuan Qingling, you'd better stay out of this, or don't blame us for not showing mercy," Nangong Lie said.
Although Nangong Lie enjoyed women, he knew this was not the time.
If Xuanyuan Qingling truly made things difficult, he wouldn't mind seeing her dead.
"Elder, it's troublesome, three Peak Heavenly Phenomenon level, one Middle-stage Heavenly Phenomenon, and Yuwen Gong is in the Late Stage Cave Void Realm. We're no match for them," Xuanyuan Qingling transmitted to Xuan Hong, a hint of urgency in her tone.
"Even if we can't defeat them, we must fight. We mustn't let them near Xu Nian. I'll hold the three Peak Heavenly Phenomenon. You stop Nangong Lie as best as you can. Leave Yuwen Gong to Xu Nian," Xuan Hong responded through his Spiritual Sense.
Xuanyuan Qingling nodded. This was all they could do.
The gap between their strengths was vast.
They had no choice but to fight with all their might.
"It seems that Xuanyuan City Lord doesn't plan to stand aside. In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless. Attack!" Nangong Lie shouted.
He then charged at Xuanyuan Qingling.
Xuanyuan Qingling's eyes flashed sharply, ice-cold like a blade.
Her figure settled in mid-air, and an ancient zither appeared on her lap.
"Twang!"
Xuanyuan Qingling plucked a zither string urgently. The intense sound rang out.
A Zither Sound filled with extreme killing intent echoed like the cry of a phoenix.
As the Zither Sound resounded, numerous invisible swords and blades emerged around Xuanyuan Qingling.
They rushed toward Nangong Lie like a tidal wave.
"Hmph, petty tricks! A mere Cave Void Realm dares stand against me? You're courting death!" Nangong Lie sneered, powerful True Essence surging in his hand.
A Battle Saber appeared in his hand.
He slashed down immediately.
The Sword Light swept out, instantly shattering the invisible swords and blades around him.
However, Xuanyuan Qingling seemed to anticipate this, plucking three zither strings simultaneously.
The killing intent around her surged.
A terrifying Sword Radiance shot directly toward Nangong Lie.
Plucking three zither strings took a toll on Nangong Lie, making her face pale.
But this strike slowed Nangong Lie's advance.
Meanwhile, Xuan Hong moved towards the three elders of the Tianxing Sect.
Initially, the three elders thought they could defeat Xuan Hong quickly together.
Yet upon engaging, they found Xuan Hong's defense unimaginable.
The combined efforts of the three couldn't break his defense in a short time.
They hadn't expected Xuan Hong to be a Xuan Turtle.
"Yuwen Gong, kill Xu Nian!" shouted Nangong Lie, entangled by Xuanyuan Qingling's Zither Sound.
"Rest assured, Elder Nangong. Xu Nian is as good as dead!" Yuwen Gong sneered, rushing towards Xu Nian. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
His eyes were filled with ridicule as he looked at Xu Nian.
"Still cultivating at death's door? I'll send you straight to Hell!" Yuwen Gong laughed coldly, striking at Xu Nian with his sword.
Yet the moment he swung his sword, he saw a black light flash before his eyes.
Then, his whole body stiffened.
"Im… impossible!"
Yuwen Gong stared at the black-robed Xu Nian before him in shock.
"Two... two Xu... Xu Nian?"
Yuwen Gong's final words were uttered before his body fell in two halves.
The white-robed Xu Nian remained unmoved, while beside him stood another figure, bearing an uncanny resemblance.
Only, this figure wore a black robe, eyes glowing red.
His chilling gaze exuded:
Coldness!
Ferocity!
