Divine King of Honour

Xu Nian sized up the three men who had descended from the sky.

He noticed that all three were dressed in identical black attire.

Among them, two appeared to be middle-aged men, while the one in the middle looked to be in his late twenties.

From their appearance to the present, all three carried themselves with immense arrogance, as if they deemed everything beneath them.

Xu Nian stared at the three men, three Nine-star Peak Experts—definitely not easy to deal with!

However, this could be an opportunity to test his strength after his breakthrough.

At that moment, everyone on deck was watching these three men, their eyes filled with curiosity and wariness.

Little Yann Xi hid fearfully behind Xu Nian, her clever and nimble mind recognizing that these men had come for her, for she recognized the attire they wore.

Yan Tao and others also rushed over, several guards positioning themselves in front of Yann Xi, their eyes brimming with vigilance.

"Hand over the girl, your strength isn't enough to protect her. Don't force us to act, otherwise none of you will live," the leading youth sneered, looking disdainfully at Yan Tao and others' defenses.

"Are you people from the Desolate Hall?" Yan Tao asked with furrowed brows, his eyes filled with gravity.

Desolate Hall?

The people around, upon hearing this, all showed fearful expressions.

Even the woman in a white dress standing on the third floor of the cabin and Chu Lin showed looks of astonishment.

The Desolate Hall was an evil and mysterious force in the Southern Wilderness County, filled with strong individuals who committed countless atrocities. They were no weaker than their Wuji Sect.

Unexpectedly, people from the Desolate Hall had appeared here, seemingly for that little girl?

Xu Nian too was somewhat surprised; he had also heard of this Desolate Hall.

A mysterious and powerful force, its members always moved unpredictably and acted on their whims.

He had not expected that those targeting Yann Xi would be from the Desolate Hall.

"Now that you know we are from the Desolate Hall, why not hand her over? You should know that once we from the Desolate Hall take action, we spare no one, and not just you, everyone on this ship will die with you," the leading youth sneered, his eyes playful.

The people on the ship, upon hearing this, all started screaming in panic, shouting, "Quickly hand over the little girl, do you want to get us all killed?"

Xu Nian frowned deeply upon hearing this.

If it weren't for him killing the Six-winged Ice Crystal Viper, these people wouldn't have survived until now. Now faced with a threat, they immediately betrayed him.

"If you want me to hand over the young lady, you'll have to step over my dead body first," Yan Tao, a frontier warrior, his blood unyielding, not intimidated by the imposing manner of the people from the Desolate Hall.

"That won't be difficult!"

The leading youth chuckled lightly, his figure flashed, and instantly he appeared in front of Yan Tao, then a palm strike aimed at Yan Tao's heart.

If this palm struck, Yan Tao would undoubtedly die.

Yan Tao was shocked, clearly not expecting the other's speed to be so fast.

His reaction couldn't keep up with the opponent's speed, and he could only watch helplessly as the hand moved toward him.

But just at this critical moment, Yan Tao felt a massive force pulling him back from behind.

Then a pale hand met the incoming palm strike from the youth.

"Bang!"

The force of the palms caused both to step back two steps.

"Oh!" The youth uttered a light sound of surprise, then turned his gaze toward Xu Nian, who had appeared beside Yan Tao.

Originally, he hadn't paid much attention to Xu Nian, thinking he was just an ordinary youth, but Xu Nian had just saved Yan Tao from his hands, demonstrating notable combat strength.

"Are you alright?" Xu Nian did not pay attention to the youth but instead turned to Yan Tao beside him and asked.

"I'm fine, thank you, Lord Xu Nian, for your help," Yan Tao quickly expressed his gratitude.

Ever since he found out Xu Nian's true strength, he had developed immense respect for Xu Nian and had switched from calling him "Brother Xu Nian" to "Lord Xu Nian."

"Alright, take good care of Xiixii. I'll handle the rest," Xu Nian said as he patted Yan Tao on the shoulder. "You don't need to step in."

"But..." Yan Tao hesitated, but eventually held back his words.

Although Xu Nian had killed the Six-winged Ice Crystal Viper, they were now facing three powerhouses, each seemingly not weak. How could Xu Nian alone possibly stand a chance against the three of them?

However, upon realizing that they wouldn't be of much help even if they intervened, he decided not to say more.

"Kid, are you planning to stop the three of us all by yourself?" the young man jeered, having overheard Xu Nian's words.

Though the young man had demonstrated considerable strength just now, he did not believe that the youth before him was a match for him.

The two middle-aged men behind him also chuckled lightly, clearly thinking that Xu Nian was overestimating himself.

"I don't care who you are," Xu Nian said with an icy voice and an even colder gaze. "Yann Xi is my sister. If you leave now, I will not kill you. But if you try to harm her, you will face only death."

Everyone around felt a shudder through their hearts, involuntarily harboring a sense of fear.

However, the three black-robed men just laughed lightly, as if they had heard a great joke.

"Haha, a dead end? Kid, do you know that you are facing three Battle Sect Peaks?" the young man laughed.

Three Battle Sect Peaks?

Everyone around showed shocked expressions.

Unless one was a Battle General Level or higher, facing three Battle Sect Peaks was undoubtedly a sure defeat.

At that moment, everyone thought that Xu Nian had angered those he shouldn't have, potentially implicating them as well.

"Xu Nian is too arrogant," Chu Lin gloated. "Just because he killed a beast, he thinks he is invincible. Facing three Battle Sect Peaks, he is definitely doomed this time." Enjoy exclusive chapters from My Virtual Library Empire

Xu Nian remained silent, unmoved by these opinions.

Although the three Battle Sect Peaks were challenging, they were not entirely impossible to fight.

Xu Nian's attitude angered the young man.

The young man's face darkened, and he huffed, "Don't say the three of us, even I alone can easily crush you. Prepare to die!"

With a loud yell, the young man turned into a black shadow, appearing in front of Xu Nian in the blink of an eye.

His palm gathered dark spiritual energy and struck fiercely towards Xu Nian.

"Dark attribute Spiritual Energy?"

Surprise flashed in Xu Nian's eyes, but he soon let out a cold snort.

"Thunder and Fire Tyrant Fist!"

Xu Nian punched out, Thunder Fire Power surging, instantly colliding with the young man's palm.

"Boom!"

The two forces exploded upon contact, creating a huge noise.

Xu Nian remained unmoved, but the young man stumbled back ten steps before stabilizing himself.

"How is this possible?" the black-robed young man said in amazement.

"His strength has progressed again," noted a lady in a white dress on the third floor, surprised by the pace of Xu Nian's power growth.

Chu Lin frowned deeply, jealousy flashing in his eyes.

Xu Nian, however, ignored everyone's astonished gazes and coolly said to the young man, "You three should attack together."

Though Xu Nian spoke indifferently, his words deeply shocked everyone present.

The black-robed young man's gaze grew furious. The young man before him was actually looking down on him.

"I will crush you to ashes!" the black-robed young man shouted, his black spiritual energy rising like flames.

All around, the atmosphere suddenly grew tense, and everyone instinctively felt a primal dread.
