"Explode for me!"
Xu Nian shouted loudly.
The hammer swung directly, colliding fiercely with Earth Spirit Immortal Venerableâs fist.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion sounded.
Terrorizing power instantaneously formed an overwhelmingly mighty storm, spreading outwards in all directions.
Everyoneâs scalp tingled.
This dispersing terrifying energy was enough to shatter them all.
"Buzz!"
Li Tian, without hesitation, directly wielded the Earth God Staff, activating the sect-protecting great formation.
"Boom!"
The terrifying energy was finally blocked.
But everyone still felt like they had taken a walk before the Yama Palace.
The energy just now was truly terrifying.
"Who won?"
Everyone around was astonished, looking at the center of the battle.
When the lingering dust settled, the sight left them dumbfounded.
The first thing to strike the eye was the towering form of Earth Spirit, standing tall between heaven and earth.
However, at this moment, his entire right arm had completely disappeared.
Blood splattered across the ground.
A truly shocking sight.
Everyone gasped.
Earth Spiritâs entire arm had been shattered?
How could this be possible?
On the other side, Xu Nian, wielding a black hammer, floated in the air.
His stance was proud and imposing, unspeakably formidable.
Though a bit fatigued, it was obvious he wasnât injured.
"Earth Spirit Immortal Venerable actually lost?"
The crowd exclaimed in amazement.
They could hardly believe Earth Spirit Immortal Venerable was defeated by Xu Nian.
Han Yan Yu was also stunned.
Looking at the heavily wounded Earth Spirit Immortal Venerable, who no longer had the strength to fight, she could hardly believe her eyes.
"No... impossible," Han Yan Yu screamed internally, eyes filled with extreme unwillingness.
On the other side, Bai Lingxue was also wide-mouthed with shock.
Xu Nianâs strength had reached an unimaginable level.
To battle an Immortal Sovereign as an Immortal King and emerge victorious!
How strong must he be?
"Xu Nian, I lost; your strength is indeed formidable," Earth Spirit Immortal Venerable looked at Xu Nian, eyes cold.
The power from that hammer strike just now was truly terrifying.
If he hadnât severed his arm in time to protect himself, his entire body wouldâve been reduced to ashes under that terrifying power.
The First-grade Law, combined with that hammer Divine Artifact, produced a power that had truly reached an unimaginable level.
"I said I would kill her, and no one could stop me, including you," Xu Nian sneered.
After saying this, he looked towards the distant Han Yan Yu.
Han Yan Yu was alarmed, a strong sense of foreboding washing over her.
In the next instant, she turned to flee.
"Pfft!"
However, at that moment, a flying knife instantly shot out from the void, piercing directly through her abdomen, shattering her Immortal Embryo.
This scene shocked everyone present.
Earth Spirit Immortal Venerableâs brows furrowed to the extreme, left fist clenched, eyes filled with rage as he looked at Xu Nian.
Han Yan Yu was not only his disciple but also a woman he shared intimacy with.
And now, his woman was killed right before his eyes.
This for Earth Spirit was an enormous humiliation.
"He really killed her!"
Everyone around was incredibly astonished.
Nobody expected Xu Nian to actually act.
Han Yan Yu looked at her wounded abdomen, then at the distant Xu Nian and Bai Lingxue, eyes filled with deep unwillingness and rage.
However, with her Immortal Embryo destroyed, her life was steadily waning.
Ultimately, she collapsed, no sign of life remaining.
All were filled with horror and sighed.
No one expected such a prodigious talent to lose her life like this.
"Xu Nian, next time I will reclaim todayâs humiliation," Earth Spirit Immortal Venerable transformed into a streak of light and vanished from sight.
Xu Nian did not stop him.
Though he defeated Earth Spirit Immortal Venerable, killing him was much harder.
Also, Earth Spirit Immortal Venerable surely possessed Divine Power Liquid.
If they truly fought again, his sole drop of Divine Power Liquid would be utterly wasted.
At a critical moment, it is a life-saving item.
He bore no deep grudge against Earth Spirit; killing Han Yan Yu was already avenging Bai Lingxue.
Moreover, this is still the Earth Immortal Sect, and slaying their sectâs Immortal Sovereign Peak Expert would indeed be unreasonable.
"Earth Spirit Immortal Venerable actually fled."
However, those around were incredibly astonished witnessing this scene.
In their eyes, this meant Earth Spirit Immortal Venerable already admitted he was no match for Xu Nian.
An Immortal Sovereign Peak fleeing from an Immortal King Peakâs hand; if they hadnât seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe this was real.
"Are you alright?" Bai Lingxue, seeing Earth Spirit retreat, immediately flew to Xu Nianâs side, asking with concern.
"Iâm fine! Just expended some Immortal Essence; Iâll recover soon," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
"Thank you!" Bai Lingxue sincerely said to Xu Nian.
"No need to thank me, weâre both townsfolk; if someone bullies you, I naturally wonât sit back and do nothing," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Townsfolk?
Bai Lingxue nodded, her expression slightly darkening.
"No wonder Bai Lingxue disregards any male immortals. Turns out her relationship with Xu Nian isnât simple," the surrounding male cultivators commented.
Some male immortals showed envious expressions, but within, they had no complaints.
After all, they had seen the strength Xu Nian demonstrated earlier.
Probably no one was more suited to Bai Lingxue than Xu Nian.
Li Tian smiled as he approached.
"Brother Xu, the battle just now was truly eye-opening; congrats on the hero saving the beauty and winning the ladyâs heart," Li Tian said with a smile.
Bai Lingxue blushed at these words.
Xu Nian rolled his eyes at Li Tian: "Do you want to spar with me too?"
"Iâll pass." Li Tian smiled awkwardly.
He was no match for Xu Nian at all.
Xu Nian chuckled, looking at Li Tian: "Now that Han Yan Yu is dead, can Bai Lingxue become your sectâs Holy Daughter and enter the Earth Divine Hall for the baptism?"
"Indeed, this battle was originally won by Bai Lingxue; I believe no one has any objections," Li Tian said with a smile.
He now holds some authority in the Earth Immortal Sect.
Therefore, his words were the final decision.
"In that case, you should hurry to the Earth Divine Hall for the baptism!" Xu Nian suggested.
"What about you?" Bai Lingxue thought for a moment and asked.
"I plan to leave the Earth Immortal Sect and head back to Shendang Mountain," Xu Nian said.
Hearing this, Bai Lingxueâs brow furrowed.
For a moment, she felt reluctant.
This farewell, who knows when they would meet again.
Yet she didnât know how to ask Xu Nian to stay, nor with what identity to ask him to.
"Take care, then," Bai Lingxue finally said, before gracefully drifting away.
Watching Bai Lingxue leave, Xu Nian smiled slightly and prepared to leave as well.
Beside him, Li Tian shook his head: "Brother Xu, if you acted while the iron was hot, youâd surely win the ladyâs heart; why didnât you? Itâs clear she likes you."
Xu Nian just smiled without replying.
There was still a lack of certain feelings between him and Bai Lingxue, perhaps they hadnât really reached the point of liking each other yet.
