Divine King of Honour

```

Shortly after Xu Nian killed the middle-aged man with short hair, Ding Mansion completely erupted into chaos.

A majestic man sat in the main seat of Ding Family Main Hall, looking at the three Life Stone Jade Pendants handed to him by his subordinates, his eyes filled with intense anger.

"Who did this? To dare kill a Ding Family Elder, they must be tired of living," Ding Junshan slammed his palm on the white jade stone table beside him, causing the table as hard as Xuan Iron to shatter instantly.

The guards around him were trembling with fear, filled with dread.

The last time the Family Head got angry because of the second young master's death, he executed two guards, and now he was this furious again.

They feared provoking the Family Head and suffering a catastrophic fate.

"Family Head, in my opinion, the one who killed Old Nine should be that Xu Nian. Old Nine's mission was to assassinate Xu Nian, so he is most likely the culprit," an old man beside Ding Junshan spoke up.

He was the Third Elder of the Ding Family and held a high position within the family.

"Hmph, Xu Nian again, but the Ninth Elder is a Body General-level expert, and Xu Nian has just recently entered the Battle Sect, how could he possibly kill the Ninth Elder?" Ding Junshan was furious, but then felt something was amiss.

"It must be that Xu Nian had help from a stronger associate; otherwise, it's indeed impossible for him to kill Old Nine on his own strength," the Third Elder remarked.

"Could it be Chen Tiansheng's people?" Ding Junshan asked coldly.

"Possible, if the Chen Family hadn't interfered last time, the second young master wouldn't have met with mishap," the Third Elder stated.

"Hmph, Chen Tiansheng, one day I will pull you down from the Prefectural Governor position, and that day is not far off," Ding Junshan clenched his fist, his eyes bursting with a fierce glint.

The Marquis Level aura swept through the hall like a wild storm.

"Family Head, in my view, we need to kill Xu Nian as soon as possible. I heard he slew a Nine-star Peak Level Six-winged Ice Crystal Viper at Ice Dust Lake. This young man has significant potential, and if not eliminated soon, he will become a severe threat in the future," the Third Elder spoke again.

Ding Junshan nodded and immediately ordered, "Go, carry out my command, have the Seventh and Eighth Elders ambush outside the city, and show no mercy as soon as Xu Nian returns."

"Yes!" The guard responded instantly and then left the hall.

Ding Junshan's eyes narrowed, filled with murderous intent, and finally turned his head towards the Third Elder and asked, "How is it going with the Great Elder? Any news?"

The Third Elder smiled and said, "There's news. They have agreed to our terms."

"Good!" Ding Junshan was delighted, his lips curling up into a fox-like sly smile.

"Chen Tiansheng, I've been tolerating you for a long time. Now, it's finally time for revenge, and soon all of East Field County will be mine," Ding Junshan's eyes flashed fiercely, his expression ferocious.

The Third Elder also slightly curved his lips, his eyes slightly narrowed, resembling a cunning and treacherous old fox.

…

Three days later, Xu Nian successfully appeared at the city gate of the county town, but nobody recognized him.

For now, he had disguised himself as a robust man; the secret technique of disguise easily changed his physique and appearance. Although the Ding Family's guards were vigilant, it was virtually impossible for them to recognize Xu Nian.

And so, Xu Nian swaggered into the city.

To avoid exposure, Xu Nian even stored his Meteorite Iron Hammer in the storage ring.

However, after entering the city, Xu Nian realized that among ten young men, nine carried a hammer similar to his Meteorite Iron Hammer.

And the hammers looked exactly like his.

"What's going on? When did hammer weapons become fashionable?" Xu Nian was utterly astonished.

A young man passing by him heard Xu Nian's words and looked at him with disdain, saying, "Must be from out of town, just by looking at you one can tell you don't understand weaponry, let me tell you, the hammer is the king of weapons, how domineering and mighty is it?"

```

"Not right, isn't the king among weapons a sword? How did it become a hammer?" Xu Nian said, puzzled.

"Uninformed as you are, don't you know that a genius named Xu Nian emerged from our prefectural city? He uses a hammer as his weapon. When that hammer strikes, all swords are rendered useless; hence, I advise you to stop practicing with swords and start practicing with hammers instead." The young man looked at Xu Nian with disdain again and then, arrogantly, walked away.

Behind him, he was even carrying a beast skin suit, which obviously contained a hammer.

Xu Nian felt depressed, realizing the person responsible for all this was actually himself.

This left Xu Nian stunned for a long time before he could react.

The sights and tales on the road afterward only drove Xu Nian to a mix of tears and laughter.

The weapon shop even had a sign saying, "Xu Nian's same-model weapons, first come first served."

Not only that, there was a storyteller in the tavern recounting how he had killed members of the Ding Mo Wolf Team and battled the Six-winged Ice Crystal Viper at Ice Dust Lake.

In no time, Xu Nian had become the celebrity of the entire East Field County.

Young people copied his attire and weapon choice, resulting in hammers becoming the hottest-selling item in weapon shops during this period.

However, these hammers were just ordinary iron-forged, very few were made of Xuan Iron, far inferior to Xu Nian's Meteorite Iron Hammer.

Just as Xu Nian decided to ignore it all and continued back to his mansion to check on Yan Wu and the others, he spotted an acquaintance next to the weapon shop.

Chen Xifeng.

At that moment, Chen Xifeng seemed to be arguing with someone, who had quite an aggressive demeanor.

Driven by curiosity, Xu Nian approached. He couldn't possibly ignore it if Chen Xifeng truly faced trouble.

Indeed, Chen Xifeng was arguing with a young man, apparently a member of the Battle Mansion, and moreover a Four-star.

"Li Jian, what business of yours is it if I buy a hammer? Why did you snatch my Qiankun Bag? Give it back to me," Chen Xifeng said angrily.

The young man named Li Jian scoffed mockingly, "I heard you're from the same academy as that dogshit Xu Nian? I've always disliked Xu Nian. He thinks he's so great? If he has the guts, let him come and ask me for it."

"Xu Nian is out on a mission and hasn't returned yet, Li Jian, this is already the third time you've troubled me. I can't beat you, but once Xu Nian returns, he certainly won't let you off," Chen Xifeng said furiously.

"Not let me off? I'm so scared. Don't think just because he used some trivial trick to kill those fools from the Mo Wolf Team that he can compete with our Heavenly Dragon Team. You should know Lin Rock also lost to me. If Xu Nian really shows up, I'll make sure he begs for mercy on his knees," Li Jian said with disdain.

He was a genuine Nine-star Martial Sect Peak Powerhouse, stronger than Lin Rock.

Even though Xu Nian had defeated Lin Rock, he had not witnessed it but heard it involved some secret technique and that Xu Nian's actual strength wasn't high.

Thus, he was confident that if he faced Xu Nian, he could easily defeat him, not giving him any chance to use his secret technique.

"I'll fight you!" infuriated, Chen Xifeng drew his soft sword and slashed towards Li Jian.

Li Jian's eyes flashed with disdain as he kicked Chen Xifeng in the chest, sending him flying instantly.

"A Two-star wanting to fight me to death? Better go back and cultivate for a few more centuries. Even if a hundred more like you came, I would still kill each without fail," Li Jian said disparagingly before preparing to leave.

Chen Xifeng, clutching his painfully throbbing chest, was filled with intense frustration.

The surrounding crowd shook their heads, looking at Chen Xifeng with pity.

"Oh? He's useless, and you're not useless?"

However, just as everyone thought the matter was about to end, a sonorous voice rang out from the crowd, and then a burly man stepped out.

If that burly man wasn't Xu Nian after disguise, then who was he?
