Divine King of Honour

Chen Shan had already predicted that Xu Nian's strength was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, so he deliberately launched a sneak attack, aiming to kill Xu Nian with a single blow.

However, he had not expected Xu Nian to actually block his sneak attack.

Zhao Yanyun and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Chen Shan with anger, "Chen Shan, what are you doing? Xu Nian is on our team, how could you attack him with a sneak attack?"

"That's right, Chen Shan, I can't believe you'd kill one of our own for treasure," Chen An also pointedly accused with a look of fury.

He was now firmly on Xu Nian's side, and even if he had targeted Xu Nian before, he certainly would never have attacked him, after all, Xu Nian was one of their own.

"Ha ha, one of our own? When did I ever say I was on your team?" Chen Shan scoffed.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yanyun asked, her elegant brows frowning slightly.

"Yanyun, you know I have feelings for you, and yet all the way here, you've been biased towards this kid. Now that it has come to this, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. Actually, before we entered the ancestral land, the Ding Family had already approached me, and they have promised me a generous reward once this matter is settled. So now, I am serving the Ding Family, do you understand now?" Chen Shan said with a sneer.

"You traitor, you actually betrayed the Chen Family?" Chen Yao instantly became furious, not expecting Chen Shan to have sided with the Ding Family.

"Ha ha, betray the Chen Family? A wise man submits to the circumstances. This time the Ding Family has sought a powerful backer. Not only will the Chen Family be finished, but all of you will also die here in the ancestral land. Yanyun, as long as you agree to come with me, I can convince Mr. Ding to spare you," Chen Shan looked down on Zhao Yanyun with disdain.

"Don't even think about it, I'd rather die than go with you, Chen Shan. I advise you to turn back while you're at the edge of the cliff. You should know the consequences of betraying the Chen Family, betraying the Battle Mansion," Zhao Yanyun said coldly.

"The consequences? You think I will face any consequences? I've already secretly sent a message to Mr. Ding; they are already on their way here. Soon, you all will die. Now tell me, whose fate is worse, yours or mine?" Chen Shan mocked with a snort.

Chen Yao and Chen An both looked at Chen Shan with angry faces upon hearing this.

They had not expected the traitor to have secretly communicated with the Ding Family.

Zhao Yanyun's expression was also icy and somewhat serious.

Chen Wudi and Xu Nian, however, exchanged a smile, an air of mockery in their eyes.

Actually, on the way here, Xu Nian had already quietly shared his suspicions about Chen Shan with Chen Wudi, so the two of them had been doubting him from the start.

Now that Chen Shan had voluntarily exposed himself, it all fell within their expectations.

"Chen Shan, if I were you, I would have waited a bit longer to reveal myself, until the Ding Family had arrived and then launched a sneak attack. Now, do you think you can still leave this great hall?" Xu Nian said with a cold laugh. Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire

"Hmph, yes, your strength is somewhat beyond my expectations. I can't kill you, but you also think it's easy to kill me, Chen Shan? All I need to do is hold you off, once the Ding Family arrives, that will be your end," Chen Shan said with a cold laugh.

"Is that so? You think we can't kill you?" Xu Nian asked with a slight smile.

After speaking, his feet moved, and his figure instantly swept out.

Illusion Fascinate Trace, merging with the wind force, his speed had reached a terrifying level.

"Whoosh!"

Xu Nian instantly appeared in front of Chen Shan.

"So fast!" Chen Shan exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly swinging his fists at Xu Nian.

Dark attribute spiritual energy surged, covering his fists.

However, a slight smile appeared on Xu Nian's lips as Chen Shan's fist passed through his body.

"Not good, it's an afterimage!" Chen Shan inwardly cursed, quickly looking around, but he could not find Xu Nian's figure.

"Looking for me? I'm right behind you!" But just then, Xu Nian's chilling voice came from behind Chen Shan.

Chen Shan's face turned pale with shock, and he immediately turned around, only to be greeted by an icy face, and then he tried to create distance from Xu Nian.

However, Xu Nian's fist was already charged with a terrifying Gang Qi, and the illusion of a Divine Dragon emerged behind him.

"Dragon King Fist First Style, Dragon King Earth Shattering!"

With a loud shout, Xu Nian directly threw his punch.

Chen Shan simply had no time to react and was directly sent flying by a punch from Xu Nian, crashing instantly outwards.

"Bang!"

Chen Shan's body slammed into a pillar in the great hall, shattering the stone column, as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Chen Shan's face was filled with shock; Xu Nian's speed was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

"Now do you still think I can't kill you?" Xu Nian walked slowly towards Chen Shan; with every step he took, it seemed as if he was stepping on Chen Shan's heart, making the latter's expression grow increasingly grim.

A trace of viciousness appeared on Chen Shan's face as a long spear instantly appeared in his hand.

As the spear thrust forward, the tip emitted a dark aura, akin to a miniature black hole capable of devouring everything.

"You go to hell!" Chen Shan's face twisted savagely as he fully unleashed the peak power of a One-star Battle General.

However, Xu Nian now was not the Xu Nian of before; his Cultivation had reached the peak of Battle Sect, and his understanding of Wind Force had deepened a layer.

Xu Nian drew the Black God Sword and, as he faced the incoming spear, a powerful Sword Intent burst forth from his eyes.

Wind's Absolute Kill, Fierce Blade Dance.

With a loud shout from Xu Nian, the Black God Sword in his hand chopped down instantly.

One slash cleaved through the air, turning into countless Wind Blades.

Chen Shan's spear was instantly torn apart by the Wind Blades, and Chen Shan himself, under the assault of the Wind Blades, had his body split into more than ten pieces.

Zhao Yanyun and Chen Wudi, having witnessed Xu Nian's capabilities before, were not overly shocked.

But Chen An and Chen Yao's eyes widened with extreme surprise.

A One-star Battle Sect expert had no power to retaliate against Xu Nian; just how strong was Xu Nian?

And to think that a single sword strike could cut a person into more than ten pieces; wasn't this Swordsmanship a little too domineering?

However, they didn't show the slightest sympathy when they looked at Chen Shan's corpse.

Xu Nian walked over to Chen Shan and took off his storage ring.

Just now, Chen Shan had taken a Mid Grade Heavenly Rank Battle Technique; even though Xu Nian didn't need it, it was still a treasure worth a city's ransom.

"Let's leave this place first; according to him, the Ding Family will arrive here soon, and it's not advisable to have a head-on clash with them now," Xu Nian said.

Originally, Xu Nian had not taken the Ding Family seriously, but after Chen Shan's words, he realized that there seemed to be other people in this time's entourage from the Ding Family, and their strength was considerable.

To be cautious, it was better not to engage them directly for the time being.

Zhao Yanyun and others also nodded, their trust in Xu Nian had reached an all-time high.

So, Xu Nian led the group away from the palace, continuing towards the deeper parts of the ancestral land.

Shortly after they left, Ding Feng arrived at the great hall with his people.

Upon seeing Chen Shan's corpse, their faces were gripped with immense fury.

"Damn, we're too late, and they've escaped!" Ding Feng cursed angrily.

Fang Chen glanced at Chen Shan's corpse on the ground, then with a light chuckle, he looked at Ding Feng and asked, "To have slaughtered a Peak of One-star Battle General; it seems that the prey from the Chen Family isn't as simple as you described, is it?"

"Damn it, it must have been that Xu Nian," Ding Feng cursed fiercely.

"Who is Xu Nian?" Fang Chen asked curiously.

"This Xu Nian once killed my younger brother and also killed a One-star Body Sect Expert that we had sent after him. He's only sixteen yet possesses strength far beyond that which meets the eye. He's a very crafty Little Fox," Ding Feng said angrily.

"A sixteen-year-old slaughtering a Peak of One-star Battle General? Interesting, it seems this hunt is going to be far from boring," Fang Chen said, looking towards the sky outside the hall with a cold, playful smile playing on his lips.
