Divine King of Honour

Within a residence in Yu State City Lord Mansion, a lively scene was currently unfolding.

A young man was standing arrogantly in the courtyard, with two guards following him. The guards' faces also beamed with condescending pride, exhibiting a disdainful attitude as if riding on the coattails of the powerful.

Aside from these three, there were two other people in the yard.

One was Yan Ruyu, and the other was her maid.

Yan Ruyu was lying on the ground at this moment, with a bright red handprint on the left side of her face—clearly, she had just been slapped, and the person who had done it was that youth dressed in fancy robes.

"Yan Ruyu, whether you like it or not, you must come with me today. If you dare to utter a single word of refusal, today this young master will deal with you right here in front of everyone. I believe the experience will be quite delightful," Ouyang Long said with a cold laugh, looking at Yan Ruyu, who sat on the ground, his eyes filled with lewdness.

Naturally, his words prompted agreement from the two guards behind him, both of whom also had malevolent looks.

Yan Ruyu was known to be a great beauty in Yu State, and even if they could not personally taste her flavor, seeing her in a compromised situation was quite a treat.

"Ouyang Long, you're shameless..." Yan Ruyu had never suffered such humiliation and couldn't help but curse.

"Shameless? Then let this young master show you what true shamelessness looks like. I tell you, Yan Ruyu, there's never been a woman I, Ouyang Long, have wanted that I didn't get," Ouyang Long sneered at the corner of his mouth, then commanded, "You two, get her. Pin her down on that stone table. Today, this young master will show you all what the most beautiful woman of Yu State looks like when she's charming."

"Yes, Young Master!" The two guards immediately responded, then made their way toward Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu's maid tried to stop them but was directly sent flying by one of the guards with a slap, knocking her out on the spot.

Both guards were Nine-star Warriors; there was no way a mere maid could resist them.

Not to mention them, even Yan Ruyu herself couldn't contend.

Yan Ruyu was a Four-star Warrior, utterly powerless against two Nine-star Warriors—she was immediately captured by the two guards and forcefully held down on the stone table.

"Let go of me, my father will never let you off," Yan Ruyu yelled desperately.

"Your father? That useless City Lord? Do you think he dares to show his face?" Ouyang Long sneered and then advanced toward Yan Ruyu.

"Don't... don't come here!" Yan Ruyu's face was pale, her eyes filled with terror. She couldn't help but think of what her father told her last night, driving her into a state of despair.

"Don't worry, as long as you obey and take good care of me, I will definitely not mistreat you. Otherwise, in a while, I might let my two guards take good care of you too," Ouyang Long said with a cold laugh.

Yan Ruyu's pupils abruptly constricted, her pretty face deathly pale as she begged in an extremely trembling voice, "No... please don't..."

However, the more Yan Ruyu pleaded, the more excited Ouyang Long became, and he then reached out to untie her belts.

"Well, well, what do we have here? 'Might is right'? Interesting. Mind if I join?"

Right at that moment, a frivolous voice came from outside the courtyard, followed by Ouyang Long seeing a young man walk in, with Yu State City Lord Yan Wu following behind him.

"Dad, save me!" Upon seeing Yan Wu, Yan Ruyu immediately cried out for help.

Yan Wu's face was also icy as he angrily said to Ouyang Long, "Ouyang Long, let my daughter go!"

Ouyang Long responded with a light chuckle, acting as if he didn't care, "Who do I have here? It turns out to be our worthless City Lord. Haven't you already agreed to betroth your daughter to me? What now? Having second thoughts?"

Yan Wu, upon hearing this, became enraged.

"Hmph, I did agree to betroth my daughter to you, but that was on the condition that you treat my daughter well. Now that you've humiliated her like this, today I won't let you take her away no matter what, nor will I allow you to touch a hair on her," Yan Wu said coldly.

Seeing his daughter being humiliated by Ouyang Long like this, he felt as if his heart was bleeding, filled with even more regret for having considered marrying his daughter to such a beast the night before.

If it wasn't for Xu Nian's instruction not to act rashly on their way here, he might have already rushed up and given Ouyang Long a good beating.

Ouyang Long, upon hearing Yan Wu's words, showed an unconcerned expression and said with a sneer, "I knew you old fool would go back on your word. Seems like you're really tired of living. Yan Wu, oh Yan Wu, I was going to spare your life, but since you seek death so eagerly, I'll grant you your wish. Elder Luo, come out!"

As Ouyang Long's voice fell, an elderly figure swept out from the shadows.

The old man had white hair and long, narrow eyes, looking to be at least sixty years old. However, his cultivation was not low, having reached the level of a Nine-star Battle Sect.

Yan Wu's brows furrowed, he hadn't expected this Ouyang Long to have such strong protection. If not for running into Xu Nian, his family would have certainly fallen here today. With this in mind, his gratitude toward Xu Nian grew even stronger.

With the elder's arrival, Ouyang Long's confidence also surged instantly, he looked toward Yan Wu with a cold laugh, sporting an expression of certainty in his victory.

Yan Wu too faced the situation seriously, ready to immediately reveal his own Battle General Level strength and kill the elder as soon as he made a move.

Yan Ruyu, who was being pressed against the table, also looked panicked, worried for her father.

"Wait!"

However, in this tense and confrontational moment, a voice suddenly broke the tension.

Everyone's gaze instantly landed on Xu Nian.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Xu Nian slowly stepped forward.

"Who are you? If you know what's good for you, get lost," Ouyang Long ordered coldly.

Xu Nian had already irritated him with his remark earlier, and yet this kid had the audacity to interrupt now.

"Ouyang Long, is this how you talk to your benefactor?" Xu Nian said with a smile as he approached Ouyang Long.

"Benefactor? Go to hell, benefactor. When the fuck did you become my..."

Ouyang Long burst into a rage, his face full of disdain.

"Slap!"

But before Ouyang Long could finish, Xu Nian delivered a slap across Ouyang Long's face.

Ouyang Long was stunned by the slap.

Yan Ruyu at his side also completely froze, and even the two guards didn't react for a moment.

Someone dared to hit Ouyang Long, were they seeking death?

"You dare to hit me, Elder Luo, kill him for me," Ouyang Long finally reacted and cursed loudly.

Upon hearing Ouyang Long's words, the elder's eyes instantly turned sharp as he charged toward Xu Nian.

Xu Nian let out a cold laugh and delivered another slap to Ouyang Long's face.

Ouyang Long, with his modest Seven-star Warrior strength, was no match for Xu Nian. His teeth were all knocked out by the slap, and even his jawbone was shattered, sending him flying several meters away.

Simultaneously, Yan Wu appeared in front of Xu Nian, striking at the white-haired elder's chest and sending him flying with a mouthful of blood spurting out, severely wounded and collapsing to the ground.

"A Xuantian-level Battle General? How is this possible?" The white-haired elder looked at Yan Wu, his face filled with horror.

Ouyang Long was also looking at Xu Nian with extreme fear, he hadn't anticipated that this young man before him would have such terrifying strength and would even dare to strike him.

"Take him down, what are you dazed for, do you want to die?" Ouyang Long bellowed at the two guards who were stunned beside him.

The two guards instantly snapped back to reality, and then charged toward Xu Nian.

Xu Nian laughed lightly; a thin and delicate flying blade appeared out of thin air, slicing through the sky instantly and killing the two guards.

After dispatching the two guards, the flying blade swiftly flew toward Ouyang Long, pausing just before his forehead.

Ouyang Long trembled all over in terror, looking at the sharp blade's point, he dared not make the slightest move.

Yan Ruyu, standing beside him, was completely stunned. She couldn't express the shock in her heart upon witnessing the youth who hadn't moved from his spot from the beginning to the end.

How formidable does one have to be to kill two Nine-star Warriors instantly?

And how could that flying blade turn corners and float?

What kind of killing technique was this?
