The Power of Earth surged ceaselessly towards Xu Nian.
Xia Zhenglei's eyes darkened to their utmost limit.
The earthy-yellow Power of Earth, like numerous earthy-yellow giant dragons, coiled around Xu Nian.
And atop this force of the Power of Earth, he clearly sensed an intense threat looming.
"No, I cannot let him continue."
A sharp light burst forth from Xia Zhenglei's eyes.
He decided to make his move at once.
He shot out like a bolt of lightning.
Transformed into a purple giant dragon, he charged straight for Xu Nian.
His fist clenched tight, purple luminescence shining brightly.
Its might was so earth-shattering, it could annihilate any master beneath a Saint.
"Die!"
With a thunderous shout from Xia Zhenglei, the sound of a dragon's roar followed from his body.
His fist carried an overbearing might as he ferociously smashed it towards Xu Nian.
Everyone around tightened with anxiety for Xu Nian.
However, just as his fist was about to crush Xu Nian's chest,
A light smile curved on Xu Nian's lips.
Then, Xia Zhenglei's fist incredibly passed straight through Xu Nian's body.
"What?"
Xia Zhenglei was shocked, his face suddenly filled with horror.
Such a punch, not to mention a Battle King level, even a One-star Saint wouldn't be able to easily dodge.
Yet now, Xu Nian left an afterimage before him, and he hadn't even noticed.
"Your speed is too slow!"
Right then, a chilling voice sounded behind Xia Zhenglei.
His body trembled at once, without a moment's hesitation, he swung his fist back.
"Boom!"
It was as if his fist had struck against an immovable mountain.
"How... how is this possible?" Xia Zhenglei's face was filled with shock.
His fist was actually blocked by Xu Nian's palm.
To think that such a powerful punch was caught barehanded by Xu Nian; what immense strength that must have been?
"Too weak," remarked Xu Nian with a corner of his lips lifting into a slight smile.
"Not good!" A dread premonition suddenly arose in Xia Zhenglei, who quickly attempted to retreat.
But he found his fist seemingly welded to Xu Nian's palm.
No matter how much strength he used, he couldn't pull his hand free.
"Let me show you the power of my fist."
In that moment, a cold voice rang out in Xia Zhenglei's ears.
Next, Xia Zhenglei saw an afterimage flash before his eyes.
Then, an overwhelming force exploded upon his chest in an instant.
Xia Zhenglei's back bulged.
The robe on his back burst open instantly.
His expression froze in an instant, horror-stricken.
A piercing pain spread throughout his mind.
This was a pain like never before.
Xu Nian's punch had caused internal injury.
If not for his protective Purple Dragon Technique, that punch might have shattered his heart.
"Die!" Stay connected with Freewebnovel
Xia Zhenglei yelled, blood mingling with his spit.
Another fist ferociously came crashing towards Xu Nian.
He knew it was impossible to escape Xu Nian's grasp.
The only way was to counterattack for the chance of survival.
Otherwise, he would perish by Xu Nian's hand.
"You want to break free? Very well, I shall grant it to you!"
With a light chuckle from Xu Nian, a dragon's roar echoed through his fist.
Then another punch, powerful enough to smash rocks, crashed heavily into Xia Zhenglei's chest.
Before Xia Zhenglei's fist could even reach Xu Nian, it was repelled by Xu Nian's punch.
"Boom!"
Xia Zhenglei's body struck against the wall of the grand hall.
A dull sound erupted, like a mountain collapsing.
The entire grand hall instantly cracked open.
Xia Zhenglei's back slammed into the wall, creating a massive dent.
"Blurgh!"
Xia Zhenglei spewed blood, his complexion deathly pale.
The attack from Xu Nian had already pushed him to his limits.
The onlookers were even more astonished by this scene.
They had never imagined that Xia Zhenglei, even after deploying his secret technique, would be so helpless against Xu Nian.
Xia Zhenglei's eyes were icy cold; he hadn't expected Xu Nian to suddenly become so powerful.
Suddenly, he felt a terrifying oppressive force bearing down on him.
Xia Zhenglei exclaimed in alarm and hastily dodged to the side.
"Boom!"
As he dodged,
a fist wrapped in earthy yellow nearly grazed his cheek as it swept past him.
The terrifying punch hit the rigid wall,
instantly burying half an arm into the structure.
"What?"
Xia Zhenglei's expression was one of utter shock.
Although he could shatter a wall with a single punch,
he certainly couldn't do it like Xu Nian.
Half an arm embedded in it.
If that punch had landed on his head, his skull would probably have exploded instantaneously.
"Think you can dodge? Is that possible?"
However, as Xia Zhenglei was shaken to his core,
a cold smirk appeared on Xu Nian's lips.
His left hand smashed viciously into Xia Zhenglei's abdomen, leaving behind only an afterimage.
Xia Zhenglei vomited blood furiously.
His pupils dilated in sheer agony.
Intense pain swept over his brain, plunging his mind into a void of blankness.
Such terrifying power!
He couldn't comprehend how Xu Nian could display such frightening strength.
The surrounding crowd was stunned into silence.
It was a unilateral beating!
Even after using his secret technique and achieving the Body Saint status, the Seventh Prince stood no chance against Xu Nian.
"Hmph, you want to kill me? Well, come on then!"
Xu Nian let out a cold snort, a hint of ferocity flickering in his eyes.
He grabbed Xia Zhenglei's arm and flung his whole body around.
Like swinging a hammer, he smashed him ruthlessly onto the ground.
"Boom!"
The ground shattered, creating a deep pit.
Xia Zhenglei lay there covered in blood, with multiple broken bones throughout his body.
The Purple Dragon energy within him entirely dissipated at that moment.
Let alone fighting,
Xia Zhenglei couldn't even stand up from the ground now.
"No... it's not like this. I am the Imperial Prince of the Tianhen Empire, you dare kill me?" Xia Zhenglei roared in fury, lying on the ground.
His eyes were filled with an intense unwillingness.
He had lost!
And he had been utterly defeated—humiliated by Xu Nian.
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
To him, it was a complete trampling of his princely dignity.
"Hmph, what of an Imperial Prince? Since you wanted to kill me, you should be prepared to be killed."
Xu Nian slowly walked towards the Imperial Prince, the earthy yellow Power of Earth rising from him like blazing flames.
At that moment, Xu Nian was akin to a peerless giant god.
His majesty, admitting not the slightest affront.
Xia Zhenglei watched Xu Nian's piercing gaze.
For the first time, he felt genuine panic.
He sensed the imminence of death.
"If you kill me, my imperial father will never let you go. When the time comes, everyone related to you will die!" Xia Zhenglei threatened.
Yet Xu Nian merely scoffed with a voice colder than ice, "If I dared to kill your brother, then I've already prepared myself to be the enemy of the Imperial Family. If the Imperial Family sends one man, I'll kill one man. If they send two, I'll kill them both, until your entire family is slaughtered to the last."
Xia Zhenglei was taken aback.
In the past, he would have scoffed at such words.
But now, he felt a chill rising from the depths of his heart.
