Chapter 462: The Limit of Strength
"Clang!"
A sound of metal collision echoed.
Xu Nian's sharp sword directly collided with the huge axe of Xu Er, emitting a crisp sound.
Xu Er was directly repelled by the terrifying force transmitted from the sharp sword.
He, a Nine-star Battle Saint, actually gained no advantage against Xu Nian.
After repelling Xu Er with one sword stroke, Xu Nian did not hesitate and directly swung his sword behind him.
The Green Light Sword Light spread, resembling a galaxy hanging upside down.
At this moment, Xu Yi also attacked, sweeping horizontally with his Long Spear.
The Light from the spear emitted a terrifying Thunder Light, and within this Thunder Light, a strong Power of Destruction was hidden.
Thunderclap Profound Argumentation, Thunder Destruction.
This was one of the Thunder Attribute Profound Argumentations, ranked intermediate.
Xu Yi's comprehension of Thunderclap Profound Argumentation seemed not too high.
It just barely reached the Insight Realm.
However, the power of this sword strike was not to be underestimated.
The Thunder Light Sword Light collided with Xu Nian's green sword radiance, releasing a terrifying sonic boom.
The powerful Sword Qi transformed into a storm that swept the surroundings.
Xu Nian's tiptoes touched the void several times, his body moving as if he were space-jumping.
Creating distance between himself and the two Nine-Star Battle Saints.
He went all out, nearly possessing the combat power comparable to a Nine-Star Battle Saint.
But facing two Nine-star Battle Saints still proved somewhat strenuous.
He tried to kill these two men without using the powers of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar or Kun Cave Power.
It would still require some effort.
"Xu Nian, it seems that Nine-star Battle Saint is your limit. You've killed fifteen of the Eighteen Holy Guards. I must say, you are the most terrifying one I've ever seen in terms of talent, mindset, and methods. If you could become part of the Xu Family, uniting the continent would be no problem for the Xu Family, but unfortunately...", Xu Yi couldn't help but express his admiration.
An eighteen-year-old youth possessing such high strength.
Slaughtering the meticulously trained Eighteen Holy Guards of the Xu Family like slaughtering chickens.
Both his mindset and methods far surpassed those of the average adult.
He really couldn't imagine.
What heights this youth could reach if he were allowed to continue growing.
Perhaps one day this youth would look down upon all beings, overseeing the entire land.
Hearing Xu Yi's words, Xu Nian just smiled.
The path was chosen by the Xu Family themselves; since the Xu Family wanted to kill him, they naturally had to be prepared to be slaughtered.
Xu Nian lived a life with a clear conscience.
Neither harboring evil intentions and killing people nor being greatly merciful and pitying the world.
He only wished for the sword in his hand to protect every person he cared about.
Those who assisted him, he respected.
Those who deceived him, he eliminated.
This was the Tao Heart of Xu Nian.
"Where is my mother?" Xu Nian asked coldly.
"Your mother is inside the great hall; she is fine. She belongs to the Xu Family, we won't harm her, but you probably won't get to see her," Xu Yi replied coldly.
His Long Spear waved through the air, with fierce Thunder Light flashing at its tip.
"You are just serving the Xu Family. If you leave, I can spare your lives," Xu Nian said to Xu Yi and the other internally.
"Ha-ha, since we are raised by the Xu Family, our lives naturally belong to the Xu Family. Since our mission is to kill you, unless we die in battle, we absolutely will not leave. Besides, with your strength, it seems you still can't kill us," Xu Yi laughed heartily, his tone also carrying a robust sense of pride.
Xu Er also had a resolute look, staring at Xu Nian like a hungry wolf.
Seeing this, Xu Nian did not say anything further.
For the Eighteen Holy Guards, dying in battle was always more glorious than fleeing.
Of course, not everyone thought this way, such as Xu Shier who was feeling somewhat panicked right now.
He desperately hoped that his eldest and second brothers could kill Xu Nian, this formidable enemy.
As long as Xu Nian was alive, his heart would always be in suspense.
"Xu Nian, you have invaded the Xu Family, your crimes are unpardonable, die!" Xu Yi shouted loudly, swinging his Long Spear.
Thunder Light suddenly rose, and a terrifying thunderbolt roared out like a giant thunder serpent.
The entire person instantly turned into a thunderclap lightning bolt, striking at Xu Nian.
This attack was tremendously powerful, containing the terrifying might of thunder.
On the other side, Xu Er swung his Battle Axe, which enveloped flames like a surging tide.
With one strike, it roared like a fire dragon.
Creating a huge Axe Light, it slashed towards Xu Nian.
Xu Nian stood with his sword, winds whipping fiercely around him.
The sharp sword in his hand trembled incessantly.
To the left was the Thunder Spear Radiance, and to the right was the fiery great axe.
Such a terrifying onslaught, not merely a Two-star War Saint, even a typical Nine-star War Saint couldn't possibly block it.
"It seems I need to reveal some real strength to deal with you," Xu Nian said with a slight smile.
A terrifying combat intention also burst from his eyes.
Then, he was seen slowly raising the trembling Immortal Sword in his hand.
As he lifted his Immortal Sword,
Heaven and Earth were stirred.
The sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds pressed down.
At this moment, everyone felt a heaviness in their hearts.
A terrifying oppressive feeling weighed down upon them.
"Let me show you my strongest strike, 'Sword Like a Shocking Swallow!'"
Xu Nian shouted loudly, and the sharp sword in his hand instantly chopped down.
He slashed out two Sword Radiance, targeting Xu Yi and Xu Er respectively.
The sky instantly seemed split by two green celestial rivers, the Green Light Sword Radiant slashing diagonally.
Contained above the Sword Radiance was an extremely terrifying and fierce aura.
"Boom!"
The Green Light Sword Radiant collided with the Axe Light.
And exploded upon contact.
Flames surged to the sky.
On the other side, Xu Yi, who had transformed into the Thunder Spear Radiance, also collided with Xu Nian's Green Light Sword Radiant.
The Green Light Sword Radiant and the Thunder Spear Radiance were deadlocked for a moment.
Finally, under Xu Yi's loud shout, the Green Light Sword Radiant directly shattered.
And Xu Yi continued to thrust his spear at Xu Nian.
Although Xu Yi broke through Xu Nian's Sword Radiance, his attack had significantly weakened.
"Buzz!"
The Thunder Spear Radiance pressed directly towards Xu Nian.
In a blink, it reached close to Xu Nian.
"Clang!"
Xu Nian immediately used his sword to block.
The sparkling spear tip struck the blade of Xu Nian's Immortal Sword.
Directly forcing the sharp sword into a crescent bend.
"Break!"
Xu Nian shouted explosively.
He flicked his finger on the blade.
The Sword Qi suddenly burst.
Like a thunderclap exploding from flat ground.
Xu Yi's spear offensive was instantly smashed, his figure blown backward.
Xu Nian also retreated swiftly in this burst of power, a trace of fresh blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
However, his eyes remained exceptionally sharp, unshaken.
As Xu Yi had said, a Nine-star War Saint was already the limit of his actual strength.
And Xu Nian's purpose in doing this was to see the limit of his own strength.
Having already tested this, the result wasn't too far from what he expected.
Using all his strength, he could indeed battle a Nine-star War Saint.
But facing a Nine-star Body Saint or the Peak of Nine-star War Saint would likely be much more challenging.
"It seems, your strength has peaked, Xu Nian, if you have no other methods, you might fall here today," Xu Yi said, standing with his spear, his voice rumbling like muffled thunder.
