Chapter 2046: Chapter 2046: Battle Against Chuan Mingyun
Xu Nian looked coldly at the old woman, endless killing intent stirring within his chest.
"Old hag, don’t mistake my courtesy for weakness. I respected you as Mu Yan’s Master and saved you, detoxifying you, but I didn’t expect you to repay kindness with enmity," Xu Nian remarked with a cold smile, the substantial killing intent transforming into an aura of malevolence, causing many present to tremble with fear.
The old woman could also feel the terrifying sharp aura from Xu Nian’s gaze.
But the youth in front of her was merely a loose cultivator of Daluo God level. As long as Yushan Palace could align with Zhenhai City, it was all worthwhile.
"You saved my life, but what of it? I saved Mu Yan’s life, she owes me. All these years, I’ve protected her, now it’s time for her to repay," the old woman shamelessly replied.
"Moreover, it’s for her own good. What can you, a loose cultivator, give her? Even if you have some fortune, it’s nothing in front of Young Master Chuan. Young Master Chuan could crush you like an ant. If you were a wise person, I’d advise you to give up," the old woman continued.
Xu Nian was furious but laughed instead.
For my own good?
Crush me like an ant?
Truly laughable.
Mu Yan, upon hearing this, was reduced to tears.
She never imagined that her revered Master had always been using her.
For Yushan Palace, she was willing to sell her to others.
"And what does Young Master Chuan think?" Xu Nian turned to Chuan Mingyun and asked coldly.
"People I desire, I never fail to obtain. Hand over Mu Yan and the two behind you, and I may spare you, perhaps even grant you some treasures," Chuan Mingyun replied arrogantly.
His gaze swept not only over Mu Yan but also Zhao Yanyun and Lu Qinxin.
Zhao Yanyun and Lu Qinxin immediately became enraged, their eyes filled with terrifying hostility.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian began to laugh.
Good!
Really good.
"Was it you who advised me not to cause trouble in Zhenhai City?" Xu Nian asked Guan Ying with a smile.
"...Yes... I did mention it," Guan Ying frowned.
Xu Nian then turned with a smile to the old woman and Chuan Mingyun, "Today, you will all die, and no one will save you."
"Arrogant, just you opposing Young Master Chuan? Truly unaware of your own death," the old woman immediately shouted.
Xu Nian smirked, taking a step forward.
An endless sharp aura erupted from him, swiftly enveloping the entire tavern.
Everyone around felt an intensely powerful slicing aura, even their skin tingled sharply.
The old woman was startled, retreating several steps.
"Hmph, an early-stage Daluo dares to be so brazen? Truly a frog at the bottom of a well," Chuan Mingyun snorted coldly, his sleeve rolled.
Instantly, a burst of Thunderclap Storm emerged, dispersing all of Xu Nian’s sharp aura.
Simultaneously, a dreadful Thunderclap Pressure pressed directly towards Xu Nian.
Xu Nian stood firm as a mountain, facing the terrifying pressure, his body bursting with endless Sword Qi, shattering the Thunderclap Pressure directly.
"Interesting, but such arrogance with this ability? I will show you what despair truly means," Chuan Mingyun, seeing Xu Nian shatter his Thunderclap Pressure, immediately released an overwhelming Thunderclap power.
A colossal Thunderclap Dragon instantly emerged from the void behind him, seemingly tearing the sky, turning the entire tavern to dust.
The dragon emerged across the sky, thunder rolled, deafening.
"Roar!"
The dragon roared, charging towards Xu Nian.
"Thunderclap Great Luo Heavenly Dao Sixth Level? Such terrifying Thunderclap power, this is the strength of Young Master Chuan?"
The intense commotion drew the attention of many, all amazed by Chuan Mingyun, stunned by his powerful ability.
"Ignorant loose cultivator, doesn’t even know who he’s offended," the old woman coldly sneered, watching the violent thunder in the sky.
The elder always accompanying Chuan Mingyun stood with hands folded, eyes appreciative.
Mu Yan saw this and felt extremely anxious.
"Don’t worry, husband will be fine. He’s stronger than you think," Zhao Yanyun comforted Mu Yan, holding her hand.
Mu Yan nodded, but her heart was still full of worry.
After all, Xu Nian was only at the Daluo God Early Stage, while the opponent had reached the Daluo God Peak.
"Die!"
Chuan Mingyun shouted, the terrifying Thunderclap Dragon reached out to grasp Xu Nian.
Where the fearsome thunder passed, everything was reduced to dust.
The power of the thunder was clearly overwhelming.
"Just this level?" Xu Nian’s eyes glimmered with slight disdain.
His palm gripped the air, and a Daluo God Sword appeared in his hand.
With a swift slash of the Daluo God Sword, the gold attribute sharp Sword Qi instantly sliced through the sky, slashing towards the Thunderclap Dragon with endless sharpness.
The Thunderclap Dragon was instantly cut in two.
"What?" Everyone around was stunned.
Chuan Mingyun’s attack was broken?
Chuan Mingyun’s eyes also flickered with surprise.
"What sword technique is this? Why does it have such power?" Chuan Mingyun instantly recognized the terrifying sword technique of Xu Nian.
The degree of this sharp aura is definitely not a regular sword technique.
The elder was also filled with surprise, clearly Xu Nian’s displayed strength was somewhat unexpected.
The terrifying Sword Radiance did not disappear but slashed towards Chuan Mingyun with a fierce aura.
Chuan Mingyun was shocked, summoning a shield for defense.
"Clang!"
The sound was akin to thunder striking a bell, producing an earsplitting noise.
Everyone around felt their eardrums were about to be torn, covering their ears, screaming in pain.
Chuan Mingyun, along with the shield, was forced back several tens of feet, the shattered golden light cutting his skin, revealing a hint of blood.
Everyone around gasped.
This was really an attack by a Daluo God Early Stage?
"Daluo Heavenly Dao Fourth Level?" Chuan Mingyun was somewhat astonished.
This Daluo God Early Stage actually reached the Daluo Heavenly Dao Fourth-level Realm?
Moreover, the attack’s power was so formidable, not inferior to his Daluo Heavenly Dao Sixth Level.
The old woman was even more surprised, obviously unable to believe that in the first clash, it was Chuan Mingyun who fell into disadvantage.
She initially thought this loose cultivator would easily die at Chuan Mingyun’s hands, but now the result seemed different from what she expected.
However, she wasn’t worried; Chuan Mingyun’s cultivation was still higher than Xu Nian’s, and as the city lord’s son, he surely had means.
So the final outcome couldn’t be changed.
"Looks like I underestimated you. This sword technique must be created by a Divine Sovereign level expert; otherwise, it wouldn’t have such power," Chuan Mingyun stated with a cold laugh.
Xu Nian chuckled slightly, Divine Sovereign Level creation?
When Bai Li gave him this sword technique initially, didn’t say much, but later during cultivation, Xu Nian discovered that this Great Gold Yuan Technique was a powerful sword technique created at the God Emperor Level, possessing endless might.
Even now, Xu Nian hadn’t completely cultivated to the Great Achievement Realm.
