Chapter 322: Overwhelming Aura

Xu Nian watched the three people from the Xu Family approaching from a distance.

For these three, he had pretty much figured them out.

It could be said that none of them were any good.

Among them, Xu Tong was the most cunning, being the instigator behind several incidents.

Whereas Xu Fenn was utterly subservient to Xu Tong and could be considered a complete lackey.

Even the only somewhat acceptable Xu Long, due to his great jealousy, harbored intense hostility toward Xu Nian.

Xu Nian, out of consideration for Xu Xin’s feelings, hadn’t taken their actions to heart.

But now, it seemed his constant forbearance had only encouraged them to push their luck further.

"It’s not that I’ve been hiding my talents, but rather you’ve been looking down on me like some worthless dog right from the start," Xu Nian said, looking at Xu Tong and responding with a cold laugh.

Xu Tong’s face immediately changed, a wave of anger flooding his features.

This guy just called him a dog?

How dare he! In all his life, no one had dared to insult him like this!

"You actually think you’re invincible?" Xu Tong said disdainfully. "Don’t assume that just because you’ve managed to fend off Ye Lan with a single punch, you could really defeat a Three-star Battle King. If it really came down to a fight, you would definitely not be her match."

Xu Nian just smiled at Xu Tong’s words, as if he hadn’t heard them at all.

If it really came down to it, he was sure he could kill Ye Lan in an instant.

Of course, dealing with Xu Tong would be the same.

Seeing that his words were completely disregarded, Xu Tong’s heart instantly filled with even more rage.

Xu Fenn was also getting increasingly annoyed.

This Xu Nian actually didn’t take them seriously.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian turned to look at Xu Fenn, his lips curling into a scornful smile.

Last time at the inn, Xu Fenn had put on a superior air right in front of him.

And now, standing by Xu Tong’s side, he was nothing but a lackey.

To be honest, he genuinely felt pity for Xu Fenn.

"Xu Fenn, you secretly went to find Xu Nian last time and got a good thrashing for it. I didn’t expect you to still be so brazen," Xu Nian said with a cold laugh.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fenn’s face instantly stiffened.

He looked at Xu Nian in surprise and asked, "How do you know about that?"

As soon as he said it, he knew he had misspoken.

Indeed, Xu Xin gave Xu Fenn a cold, piercing stare.

Xu Tong also shot Xu Fenn a vicious glance.

Xu Nian, witnessing this scene, was almost certain

that Xu Fenn’s visit to him had been at Xu Tong’s instigation.

The goal was to get hold of the Black Jade he carried.

"What were you doing looking for Xu Nian?" Xu Xin asked Xu Fenn coldly.

"I..." Xu Fenn was suddenly at a loss for words, unsure how to respond.

"Sister Xin, it was like this— I had asked Xu Fenn to invite Xu Nian back here," Xu Tong said with a smile. "I didn’t expect that not only would he be unwilling, but he also beat up Xu Fenn."

"Exactly! I went to invite Xu Nian to come with me, but he completely mistrusted me and struck out at me instead," Xu Fenn shamelessly added. "I was lenient with him, which is why I got hurt."

Xu Xin fell silent upon hearing this.

But Xu Nian simply sneered dismissively.

Xu Fenn was shameless to the extreme.

Lenient with him to the point of getting hurt?

He really had the nerve to say such a thing.

Chen Wudi, who had been silently observing the drama, also wore a mocking expression; he clearly held Xu Fenn’s words in contempt.

"So, how come I heard that when you went looking for Xu Nian, it was to get something from him? And that you were also planning to check his storage ring and Dantian?" Xu Nian said coldly.

He felt it was necessary to bring this up, to caution his sister against these two.

Upon hearing Xu Nian’s words, Xu Xin’s gaze instantly turned icy cold.

"You’re talking nonsense! When did I ever say such a thing?" Xu Fenn tried to argue.

But Xu Xin no longer believed him.

The look Xu Tong gave Xu Nian was now filled with Killing Intent.

He signalled Xu Fenn with a glance.

Immediately, Xu Fenn’s expression turned malevolent as he shouted, "Boy! By slandering me this way, I have no choice but to kill you!"

After speaking, a cyan dragon-shaped mark appeared on his forehead.

And in that instant, a surge of dragon might emanated from Xu Fenn’s body.

Following that, he formed his fingers into hooks and viciously clawed toward Xu Nian’s heart.

A shadowy silhouette of a dragon’s claw enveloped his hand, emitting a heartbeat-skipping aura.

"Ah, this is the Xu Family’s Ancestor Vein Power? The power of the dragon?"

A hint of surprise flashed through Xu Nian’s eyes.

However, it quickly turned cold.

Xu Fenn was determined to put Xu Nian to death by using the Ancestor Vein Power right from the start!

But even with the Ancestor Vein Power, Xu Fenn was still nothing more than a pushover in Xu Nian’s eyes.

"Slap!"

A crisp slap rang out.

Xu Fenn, who had used the Ancestor Vein Power, was smacked in the face by Xu Nian’s slap, sending him flying.

"What?"

The crowd around them all showed expressions of surprise.

Though Xu Fenn was only a One-star Battle King, after using the Ancestor Vein Power,

even Peak of Two-star Battle Kings were no match for him.

And yet, he was now sent flying with a single slap from this youth?

"Boom!"

Xu Fenn heavily crashed to the ground, thrown a hundred meters away.

Looking at him now, the left side of his face was grotesquely swollen, and all his teeth had come loose in his mouth.

His entire mouth was severely distorted.

Where was the previously handsome and suave appearance?

"This... How is this possible?" Xu Fenn said in shock.

His speech was severely slurred.

He couldn’t believe that even after using the Ancestor Vein Power,

he wasn’t even a match for a single move from this youth?

Xu Tong also had an extremely grim expression, clearly the strength of Xu Nian was beyond his expectations.

However, just then, Xu Nian actually walked towards Xu Fenn.

"You... what do you want to do?" Xu Fenn immediately turned pale with fright.

The crowd around them also showed expressions of surprise.

What was this youth trying to do?

Could it be that he intended to kill Xu Fenn right in front of all the members of the Xu Family?

That would be too insane!

"Stop!" Xu Tian couldn’t stand by any longer, and quickly made a move to intercept.

However, it was as if Xu Nian hadn’t heard Xu Tian’s words at all, his figure flashed and he immediately appeared in front of Xu Fenn.

"I’ve already warned you not to bother me, if you didn’t listen, then don’t blame me."

Xu Nian’s voice thundered in Xu Fenn’s mind.

"You... you are..." Xu Fenn’s eyes widened.

At that moment, he knew the true identity of the youth before him.

But before he could utter the name Xu Nian, his throat was already grasped by Xu Nian’s hand.

"Let him go quickly!" Xu Tian roared, his figure already approaching Xu Nian.

And he was about to strike Xu Nian with a palm.

But Xu Nian just let out a cold laugh.

"The people I want to kill have never been able to escape death," Xu Nian snorted coldly, and a sharp glint flashed through his eyes.

At the same time, nine throwing knives burst from his body and slashed towards Xu Tian who had made a move.

Xu Tian was greatly shocked and hurriedly marshaled all his Battle Energy to defend.

He sensed a heavy threat from those nine throwing knives.

Indeed, the nine throwing knives fiercely struck his soul shield, sending him reeling back.

On the other side, Xu Nian’s left hand gripped Xu Fenn, hoisting him up.

His right hand was covered with dragon scales, piercing directly through Xu Fenn’s heart.

Xu Fenn’s body shuddered, and his eyes quickly became lifeless.

The people around were stunned.

They couldn’t believe that this youth had dared to slay Xu Fenn in front of everyone.
