Chapter 572: So What if He's the Battle Emperor
Spectators all around beheld the blood-drenched scene.
Each of them took a deep breath of cold air.
A Half-Emperor Senior was slain in seconds!
Just how strong was Xu Nian?
Mo Hen was also stunned.
The strength Xu Nian displayed far exceeded his expectations.
If he wasn't mistaken, Xu Nian's current strength definitely reached the One-star Battle Emperor Level.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to kill a Half-Emperor Level Senior.
A warrior at the Battle Saint Peak Level actually possessed the strength of a One-star Battle Emperor; just how heaven-defying was this youth?
Li Tiancheng was also taken aback.
Although he could once battle a Half-Emperor Senior, it was only by exerting all his methods to barely manage a draw.
Yet Xu Nian had directly killed a Half-Emperor Level Senior, which was truly horrifying.
"Speak, where is my brother now?"
Xu Nian walked towards Li Tiancheng step by step.
Although he moved slowly, his footsteps contained a unique vibration.
Each step caused the earth to shudder,
Exerting a strong pressure on Li Tiancheng's heart.
"Puh!"
Xu Nian had taken only three steps before Li Tiancheng vomited blood from the shock.
Li Tiancheng was incredibly alarmed; Xu Nian's mastery of the Earth Power Profound Argumentation far surpassed anything he could imagine.
He was certain that if Xu Nian kept walking,
His heart would likely burst from the pressure and kill him.
"Father, save me!"
Unable to endure any longer, Li Tiancheng bellowed towards the depths of the Sect.
Xu Nian's brows furrowed, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
He then hastily lunged towards Li Tiancheng.
"How dare you!"
However, just as Xu Nian was less than a meter away from Li Tiancheng,
A figure transformed into an afterimage, appearing directly in front of Xu Nian.
A terrifying force fiercely struck towards Xu Nian's chest.
Without a moment's hesitation, Xu Nian activated his Earth Fist.
"Boom!"
Fist clashed with palm,
Emitting a thunderous explosive sound.
The ground violently sunk.
The terrifying power turned into a storm that swept the surroundings.
Xu Nian was knocked back dozens of meters by this ferocious force.
After regaining his stance, Xu Nian looked up in the direction of Li Tiancheng.
There stood a dignified middle-aged man.
This man exuded a strong imperial aura.
Clearly, the middle-aged man before him was a One-star Battle Emperor Level power.
However, it appeared he had not been at this level for very long.
If Xu Nian wasn't wrong, this middle-aged man should be Li Tiancheng's father,
The Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect.
As Xu Nian sized up the Sect Master of the Beast Taming Sect, the Sect Master was also observing Xu Nian.
Although the Sect Master did not use his full strength in that palm, he had exerted about seventy percent.
Such a palm strike was not something a Battle Saint Level expert could withstand.
Yet the youth before him not only blocked his attack.
He also hadn't sustained a single injury.
This was definitely not something a Battle Saint Level expert could achieve.
"Are you that Xu Nian? Did you kill Yuan Ba?" Li Kuanglan asked Xu Nian with a cold voice.
"Yes, I killed him. What, you want to avenge your son?" Xu Nian responded with a cold smile.
Li Kuanglan's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Clearly, Xu Nian's tone displeased him.
"Kid, you've killed so many people from my Beast Taming Sect, made a scene here, and now you speak to me in this tone – don't you think you're being overly arrogant?" Li Kuanglan said coldly.
He had never seen such an arrogant youth before.
"Arrogant? Your Beast Taming Sect captured my brothers, intending to enslave them. Now I am here to demand their release, and you find me arrogant?" Xu Nian retorted with a cold laugh.
"Your brothers?" Li Kuanglan was momentarily taken aback and turned to look at Li Tiancheng.
"Father, I did capture two Demon Beasts, both of which possess Super Divine Beast Bloodlines, so I tried to make them recognize a master. But unexpectedly, they had already signed a contract with this Xu Nian," Li Tiancheng also stood up and spoke frankly.
"Super Divine Beast Bloodline? I see," Li Kuanglan nodded.
Then he looked at Xu Nian, his gaze filled with killing intent.
"What, you want to kill me to break the contract on me?" Xu Nian asked with a sneer.
He and Xu Yu had bound themselves with a contract.
Only by killing Xu Nian could this contract be broken.
Of course, the premise was that Xu Nian didn't destroy Xu Yu and the others before his demise.
"Release the contract, and I can overlook the matter of you killing my son and let you leave," Li Kuanglan said to Xu Nian with a cold voice.
Hearing this, Xu Nian began to laugh.
"Ha-ha, Li Kuanglan, do you think I'd be afraid of you since I had the courage to come here? Want me to release the contract? You might as well give up on that idea. On the contrary, I must remind you to release my two brothers. I can ensure the safety of your Beast Taming Sect. But if you insist on not returning them or if you harm them, then today shall be the day your sect is eradicated," Xu Nian said to Li Kuanglan.
The onlookers all showed a look of surprise.
Had Xu Nian lost his mind?
He was actually threatening a Battle Emperor Level expert.
Did he truly believe that he had the capability to stand against a Battle Emperor?
Mo Hen's brow furrowed tightly. Although from the battle just now, Xu Nian did seem to have the strength to contend with a Battle Emperor.
But a Battle Saint was still a Battle Saint; no matter how extraordinary, he might not necessarily be an opponent for a Battle Emperor Level expert.
"Since you refuse to comply, I have no choice but to kill you," Li Kuanglan snorted coldly.
Having said that, the aura of a Battle Emperor burst forth from him instantaneously, and his figure turned into a rapid blur as he swept towards Xu Nian.
Xu Nian watched Li Kuanglan speeding towards him and a chill smile curled on his lips.
"I never thought your Beast Taming Sect would be so stubborn. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless," a hint of killing intent flashed in Xu Nian's eyes.
Immediately after, an Immortal Sword appeared in his hand.
"Mixed Element Slash!"
With a loud shout from Xu Nian, the Immortal Sword in his hand made a slash.
"Buzz!"
The space around them was instantly torn apart.
The rapidly approaching Li Kuanglan saw this and his face dramatically changed.
Without any hesitation, he drew out a Spiritual Weapon and mobilized all his power to defend.
However, the might contained in this slash was truly too dreadful.
"Clang!"
A sound akin to a crisp clang was heard.
Then everyone saw Li Kuanglan, along with his sword, sent flying out.
And the grand hall he was in was cleaved into two halves by the Sword Radiance.
A gigantic sword mark of a thousand meters presented itself before the crowd.
Those disciples of the Beast Taming Sect had their eyes wide open, and their jaws dropped in disbelief.
Initially, they thought Xu Nian's fist and foot strength were already formidable.
But now it seemed that compared to his Swordsmanship, those previous displays were nothing at all.
