Xu Nian's tone was as indifferent as if he were merely drinking water.
However, this tone completely set off an explosion among the people around.
Such an indifferent tone.
This was simply a mockery of the Saints!
Hearing this, the Saints all showed utterly furious expressions.
This Xu Nian was arrogantly lawless.
He actually dared to look down on them, the Saints.
Especially the elder from the Fang Family.
This Xu Nian had killed one of their Fang Family Saints.
For their Fang Family, this was an enormous loss.
If they didn't kill Xu Nian, where would the Fang Family's face be put?
"I'll do it!" Fang Tianhu roared.
Then he was about to step forward.
"Brother Fang, let me handle this. That man killed my grandson, and today I must kill him myself," said the elder Six-star Saint from the Ye Family.
Fang Tianhu hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.
"All right, then let Brother Ye make your move," Fang Tianhu said.
He wasn't worried about the dragon vein being snatched by the Ye Family.
He knew that in the end, the dragon vein was destined to fall into the hands of the Imperial Family.
After all, the man in brocade would not just watch idly as the dragon vein slipped away right before his eyes.
With him present, the other major families could not dream of seizing the dragon vein.
Now his only goal was to kill Xu Nian.
Since Ye Jiyun was ready to act, he was naturally pleased to see it happen.
Ye Jiyun gave a bow to Fang Tianhu, then turned to look at Xu Nian, his eyes becoming extremely cold.
"A Six-star Saint has taken action, oh heavens, isn't Xu Nian dead for sure this time?"
"Yes, the Emperor Scorpion was merely at the Two-star Saint level, which can't compare with the Six-star Saint. There's a full four realms of difference there!"
"And just now, Xu Nian's Spirit Stones were obviously used up. Facing a Six-star Saint now, isn't that akin to seeking death?"
...
The surrounding crowd was abuzz with discussion.
They all felt that this time Xu Nian was completely doomed.
Xu Xin's expression became tense once again.
The elder from the Ye Family was taking personal action.
Against a Six-star Saint, how could Xu Nian possibly be a match?
"Young man, your methods are indeed powerful, killing a Two-star Battle Saint level Demon Beast, but your Spirit Stones are used up now, aren't they? I'd like to see what you will use to fight me," Ye Jiyun sneered.
His narrow eyes were filled with thick killing intent.
"Really? Why doesn't the elder come and try to see if I can block it or not?" Xu Nian said, with an appearance of nonchalance, standing with his hands behind his back, giving off a feeling of full confidence.
The crowd around was astonished.
They didn't know if Xu Nian was truly confident or merely bluffing.
"Humph, empty bluster; I want to see what tricks you still have," the Ye Family Saint snorted coldly, then once again summoned powerful Spiritual Energy.
Spiritual Energy surged, instantly forming a formidable Sword Qi.
An invisible sword materialized directly in front of the elder.
It emitted a strong aura of the sword's might.
The surrounding crowd saw this scene and their expressions were filled with fear.
The aura emanating from this giant sword chilled their hearts.
This Sword Qi didn't just seem capable of killing a person, but it seemed like it could pierce through a vast mountain.
Xu Nian looked at the formless giant sword, and his face also showed a trace of astonishment.
He could sense that along with powerful Spiritual Energy, there was another strong force within the giant sword.
That was the Heaven and Earth Power.
If he hadn't guessed wrong, that was the power possessed after reaching the Unity of Heaven and Man realm.
It must belong to a realm of power above momentum.
If it were the past, Xu Nian absolutely would not have been able to feel the existence of this power.
But ever since having the dragon vein, he found his perception of the heaven and earth to be much stronger than others.
"Die! Sky-shocking Sword Energy!"
The elder let out a loud shout, his palm striking toward the void.
The huge sword hovering above his head surged rapidly toward Xu Nian.
Its phantom image was almost ten meters long.
Speeding through the air, it emitted a roar akin to a mountain collapsing.
If this sword struck a massive mountain, it would surely pierce right through it.
Such power was not something that a Battle King Level warrior could contend with.
Even a Five-star Saint under this sword would likely struggle to survive.
"What a powerful strike, is this the might of a Saint? It can truly cut through water and split mountains!"
The onlookers were shocked beyond measure.
At the same time, they felt pity for Xu Nian.
Facing such a powerful attack, Xu Nian was doomed to certain death.
However, just when everyone thought Xu Nian would be killed by the giant sword...
Xu Nian's eyes instantly became fierce.
He fiercely struck out with his palm toward the void in front of him.
As his palm struck out, twelve Spirit Stones surfaced on his arm.
Then, a Thunder Sword equally immense burst out from the palm of his hand.
"What? He still has Spirit Stones?"
The crowd exposed looks of surprise.
They hadn't expected Xu Nian to still have Spirit Stones.
The giant sword swept across the sky, violently colliding with the incoming phantom giant sword.
"Boom!"
The two huge swords struck each other viciously in midair.
Their tips collided, creating two massive hemispherical arcs of energy.
Frightening gusts scattered in all directions.
The two forces were distinct and separate.
"Blocked it?"
The surrounding crowd, seeing the two swords locked in the air, all showed looks of utter surprise.
Xu Nian had actually blocked the Six-star Saint's giant sword with the power of a Formation?
If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never believe any of this to be true, even if it cost them their lives.
Ye Jiyun also wore a face full of surprise.
He had never imagined that his sword, infused with the power of Heaven and Earth, would be blocked.
But in the next moment, his expression became even more astonished.
A faint sound of shattering reached his ears.
Yet, this minute cracking sound was like thunder to him.
Cracks began to appear on the phantom image of his giant sword.
"Boom!"
Finally, his phantom giant sword exploded under the impact of the Thunder Sword, turning into a Sword Qi Storm.
And the Thunder Sword continued unabated, heading straight for him.

"How... how is this possible?"
Ye Jiyun's color drained from his face, as he quickly mobilized all his strength to defend against the sword.
A sharp sword appeared in his hands, and the Sword Pattern mark on his forehead instantly lit up.
He aimed directly at the incoming Thunder Sword, as if trying to block it.
Seeing this, Xu Nian's lips curled into a faint smile.
He slowly uttered a single word: "Explode!"

With the sound of his voice, the Thunder Sword that was about to clash with Ye Jiyun's sword exploded at that moment.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound,
The Thunder Sword exploded, instantly turning into a Thunderclap Storm.
It engulfed Ye Jiyun in an instant.
The surrounding crowd was stunned speechless.
Such a terrifying Thunderclap Storm.
If Ye Jiyun wasn't killed, he would likely end up severely injured.
And yet, the cause of all this.
Was it really a Battle King?
