The surroundings were in utter silence.
Dead?
All nine Battle Kings widened their eyes, nearly popping them out in shock.
The Bull Demon King was also astonished.
He hadn’t expected this human youth before him to actually have slain the Saint.
The two other Saints from the Desolate Hall were also in disbelief, their brows furrowed and their gazes heavy with concern.
Especially the Body Saint Expert, whose eyes exuded a thick sense of horror.
The sword strike from Xu Nian just a moment ago was quite extraordinary.
It involuntarily brought to his mind a term: Profound Argumentation!
In the Wind Attribute, there was a powerful Profound Argumentation called Dimension Cutting.
The sword strike that Xu Nian had just executed bore some resemblance to Dimension Cutting.
Although it lacked the terrifying power of true Dimension Cutting, it nonetheless contained a trace of its essence.
A mere Battle King
had actually touched upon that incredibly powerful Profound Argumentation?
What kind of heaven-defying feat was this?
"No, this boy must die, or else the entire Desolate Hall is doomed," the Peak of Body Saint Expert muttered to himself internally.
He had made up his mind that, no matter the cost, he would kill Xu Nian.
Xu Nian, looking at Yuan Feng’s corpse from a distance, was also somewhat surprised.
At the instant he executed One Slash Hair, it was as if a flash of insight appeared, and he realized something.
If that was the reason the power of that one sword strike was so terrifying.
But now the sudden enlightenment had vanished.
If he were to perform One Slash Hair again, he absolutely couldn’t unleash the same power as before.
"You just got unlucky!"
Xu Nian looked at Yuan Feng’s corpse and laughed.
If it had been based on his own strength, at most he could have blocked Yuan Feng’s Sword Light.
Killing him would have been absolutely impossible.
But now Yuan Feng was dead, one could only say that Yuan Feng was unlucky.
Even the heavens seemed to have forsaken him.
"Big brother, let me kill him!" another One-star Battle Saint spoke up.
His eyes were filled with endless rage as he looked toward Xu Nian.
All three of them were Hall Masters of the Desolate Hall.
As close as brothers!
They had nearly a hundred years of brotherly affection, and yet Xu Nian had killed their youngest brother.

How could this not enrage them?
"No, I will do it myself," the Peak of One-star Body Saint Expert said.
The Battle Saint Expert was startled.
His big brother was actually going to take action personally.
This was a rare occurrence.
However, with his big brother stepping in, Xu Nian’s death was certain.
Xu Nian’s expression also became solemn.
This Body Saint Expert was actually going to make a move.
Xu Nian had already witnessed his strength from the sidelines.
The Bull Demon King had been heavily injured by his single punch.
This elder’s strength was absolutely terrifying.
The Body Saint Expert stepped forward, his eyes cold as a tiger’s.
Xu Nian became alert as well.
He knew that this powerhouse before him was not the sort who relished in idle talk.
His attack would come in an instant.
Indeed, as soon as the thought crossed Xu Nian’s mind,
he noticed the Body Saint Expert’s figure lunging towards him at incredible speed,
too quick for Xu Nian’s Spiritual Sense to capture.
He could only just keep up with the Body Saint’s speed by relying on the Gray Dragon Eye.
Without the slightest hesitation, Xu Nian directly swung his sword to strike.
One Slash Hair was executed.
"Clang!"
Xu Nian’s Immortal Sword collided with the elder’s fist, emitting a metallic ringing sound.
It turned out there was a metal ring covering the old man’s fist.
This was a Spiritual Artifact!
The Immortal Sword clashed with the metal gauntlet.
The Sword Qi of the Immortal Sword was instantly neutralized.
And Xu Nian’s Immortal Sword was shaken out of his grip in an instant.
Xu Nian’s arm was numb from intense pain.
"Such powerful strength!"
Xu Nian exclaimed in horror.
The force contained in the fist of the elderly man before him was truly terrifying.
It was beyond anything he could contend with.
"Not good!"
Suddenly, Xu Nian yelled in alarm, desperately trying to retreat and put distance between himself and the old man.
However, before he could move, the old man’s second punch was already on its way.
"Boom!"
A terrifying boom resounded.
Xu Nian was instantly sent flying, crashing in a straight line into the mountain behind him.
The mountain crumbled, and rocks fell down.
"Spurt!"
A mouthful of fresh blood gushed out, his complexion turning pale.
If anyone were to look at Xu Nian’s chest,
They would surely notice several broken dragon scales there.
Indeed, those dragon scales were condensed by Xu Nian in a flash to defend against the Body Saint’s attack.
Nevertheless, in the end, the dragon scales were of no use against the Body Saint’s fist.
Had Xu Nian not shielded his vitals with all his power at the last moment,
He would likely have had his heart shattered and died by now.
Even so, his internal organs were severely damaged.
"It seems you haven’t truly comprehended the Profound Argumentation, and your slash that killed Yuan Feng might just have been a fluke," the Body Saint Expert stated.
His tone was indifferent and cold.
Cradling his immensely painful chest, Xu Nian stared intently at the Body Saint Expert.
Profound Argumentation?
Could it be that the glimmer of enlightenment he’d just experienced was the Profound Argumentation?
No wonder it was so fearsomely powerful.
"The Body Saint Expert truly lives up to their reputation; this strength is indeed much greater than that of a Battle Saint of the same level," Xu Nian couldn’t help but admire.
Against Yuan Feng, using every trick at his disposal, he might have stood a chance. Experience tales with Freewebnovel
But against this Body Saint Expert before him, there was no way he could win.
For, once a Body Saint Expert achieves transformation, their body is greatly strengthened.
This turns their flesh into a natural defense, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to harm them.
That’s the true reason why Body Saints are so formidable.
Hence, it’s unlikely for a Battle Saint of the same level to willingly engage in combat with a Body Saint Expert.
Because once in close quarters, death is almost certain.
Of course, for a Body Saint to break through is also extremely difficult, several times more challenging than for a Battle Saint.
"Thank you for your praise. You are the youngest and most formidable Battle King I’ve ever seen. However, because your talent is too against the heavens, you must die," the Body Saint Expert said coldly.
Hearing this, Xu Nian laughed.
Seeing the smile on Xu Nian’s face, the old man’s brow furrowed involuntarily.
For some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition.
"I must kill him, and the sooner, the better!"
The Body Saint muttered to himself.
Then, in the next moment, he charged toward Xu Nian with great speed.
Seeing this from a distance, the Bull Demon King moved to intercept.
However, the speed of the Body Saint Expert was just too fast.
He couldn’t keep up with the elder’s speed, and also, he was already wounded.
Blocking the old man was simply impossible.
The elder reached Xu Nian in an instant.
His fist, carrying a terrifying aura, smashed down viciously upon Xu Nian.
The following moment would completely reduce Xu Nian to a pile of flesh.
"Roar!"
Yet, just when everyone thought Xu Nian was about to be obliterated.
A tremendously terrifying roar erupted from within Xu Nian’s body.
And then, a massive claw covered in scales emerged from Xu Nian’s chest.
It blocked the old man’s fist.
"Boom!"
The old man’s fist struck the giant claw’s palm, emitting a thunderous sound.
But it didn’t move Xu Nian’s body in the slightest.
"What?"
The elder was shocked, his figure retreating explosively backward.
And just then, an immensely huge beast appeared in everyone’s sight.
The terrifying aura emanating from the beast sent a chill to everyone’s core.
