Divine King of Honour

Wu Dong's face turned extremely awkward.

Xia Bingling actually said that her life belonged to Xu Nian, and if Xu Nian had intentions towards her, she would accept it.

What did this mean?

It meant that if Xu Nian really did something to her, she would agree.

Thinking of this, Wu Dong's teeth itched with rage even more.

It meant that what was originally his was forcibly taken away by Xu Nian.

How could he not be furious?

Even if it was not for the dragon vein, he would now tear Xu Nian into pieces.

Xu Nian was also somewhat surprised.

That Xia Bingling would say such words.

Saying such things in the middle of the street, an Imperial Princess stating this in front of so many people, was indeed shocking.

Xia Bingling also realized that she had been somewhat emotional in her speech, her pretty face blushed.

"Ice Spirit, step aside. Today, no matter what, I must capture this man," Wu Dong coldly huffed.

He was about to make a move on Xu Nian.

However, Xia Bingling firmly blocked his way.

"If you want to touch Xu Nian today, you must get past me first." Xia Bingling's eyes were firm, and she immediately produced a sharp sword in her hand.

Wu Dong was instantly furious.

That Xia Bingling would actually cross swords with him for Xu Nian.

Who in the Imperial Capital did not know that he was pursuing Xia Bingling?

Now for a man, Xia Bingling was pointing a sword at him.

Where could he put his face?

"You disgraceful woman, don't think just because I'm kind to you that I wouldn't dare to do something to you. The women Wu Dong wants, I've never failed to obtain. One day, you will kneel before me, begging for mercy. Today, step aside for now; once I deal with Xu Nian, I'll deal with you," Wu Dong coldly huffed, his eyes brimming with intense malice.

Xia Bingling was also enraged.

Her grip on the sword hilt tightened even more.

In the past, she had always thought of Wu Dong as a talented and polite person.

He was good to her, like a humble big brother.

Moreover, their elders both had that wish.

So she did not oppose Wu Dong's advances and tried to accept him.

But she had not expected to see Wu Dong's true nature until today.

So despicable.

And to publicly humiliate her in this manner.

"Let me handle this!"

However, just as Xia Bingling was about to take action.

A hand rested on Xia Bingling's shoulder.

Xia Bingling's body shivered, and she turned to look at the person behind her.

It was Xu Nian, standing behind her with a smile.

That smile, carrying nine parts confidence and one part disdain, was especially dazzling under the sunlight.

Yet, it was extremely charming.

Xia Bingling instinctively nodded and stepped aside.

She wasn't worried that Xu Nian couldn't handle Wu Dong.

It was just that she felt this was her territory and Xu Nian was a guest; she couldn't let him be bullied for no reason.

But now she understood that this young man was someone who wasn't afraid regardless of what storms he faced—he hardly needed a woman's protection.

"Kid, finally you step forward. I thought you would hide behind a woman forever," Wu Dong said as he watched Xu Nian step forward, sneering.

"Do you just want the dragon vein? Why bother with such grand excuses, let me tell you straight, the dragon vein is on me, what are you going to do about it?" Xu Nian said with a smile.

Just a Semi-Saint.

Honestly, he was too lazy to lift a finger.

The Bull Demon King also stood aside with a cold sneer.

These guys didn't know whether they were alive or dead, actually causing trouble for Xu Nian.

If Xu Nian had not told him before he came, not to make a move without his order,

he would have probably squashed these few flies into meat paste already.

When Wu Dong heard Xu Nian's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He hadn't expected that Xu Nian would actually admit that the dragon vein was on him.

Although he had heard that Xu Nian had killed several Saints, it was all through indirect and underhanded means.

As for Xu Nian's own strength, it definitely wouldn't be very high.

"Since you know my purpose, you'd better hand over the dragon vein, otherwise you will die miserably," Wu Dong said with a mocking look in his eyes.

Xu Nian smiled faintly.

This Wu Dong really took no one seriously.

He didn't realize how dangerous his situation truly was.

"Cut the crap, if you want the dragon vein, just try to take it, but I doubt you have the life to claim it," Xu Nian coldly replied.

Upon hearing this, a surge of intense killing intent flowed through Wu Dong's eyes.

He then wanted to make a move.

"Brother, let me do it, this sort of scum doesn't require your hands-on effort," said the Nine-star Body King.

"Fine, but remember to leave him breathing, I want to deal with him personally," Wu Dong coldly huffed.

"Rest assured, I will definitely make him kneel before you and beg for mercy."

Hu Jie replied, a scornful smile appearing on his face, his gaze towards Xu Nian also filled with killing intent.

Then a Peak of Nine-star Body King like powerful aura burst forth from him.

As Hu Jie's aura erupted, it instantly attracted the attention of many people around.

These people, seeing that Wu Dong and Hu Jie were making a move, revealed a look of surprise on their faces.

"Who is this kid? Daring to provoke the brothers Wu Dong and Hu Jie, doesn't he know that Wu Dong and Hu Jie are well-known geniuses in the Imperial Capital?"

"Yes, this Hu Jie is a veritable god of death. Those who offend him end up either crippled or dead. The last time, a disciple from a powerful family from another place not only got crippled but also had his beauty taken by Hu Jie. It's said that this rich disciple has been begging in the East City for over a month now and, to date, no one has come to collect him. His family might have already abandoned him; how pitiful!"

"Alas, what big family disciple, in the Imperial Capital, even the biggest forces have to be careful, it looks like this boy is a greenhorn, not knowing whether he will even keep his life."

…

Those newly arrived onlookers saw Hu Jie making a move.

One by one, they looked at Xu Nian with pity.

Ye Yun stood among the crowd with a face full of mockery.

Everything was proceeding perfectly according to his plan.

Now, all he had to do was wait for Xu Nian to be defeated.

Then he would inform the Ye Family Saint to come to close the scene.

When Xu Nian heard the surrounding people's conversation, his face revealed a light smile.

It seemed that this Hu Jie was indeed notorious in the Imperial Capital!

The Nine-star Body King, indeed having arrogant capital.

"Kid, I don't care how the outside world hypes you up, in front of your uncle Hu Jie, you are nothing. Today, Uncle Hu Jie will show you what real strength is," Hu Jie bellowed and then charged at Xu Nian.

He fiercely punched towards Xu Nian, bringing a wildly violent offensive.

Xu Nian, seeing Hu Jie's fist coming towards him, also flashed a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

He instantly made a move.

His fist directly collided with Hu Jie's.

"Crack!"

A sound of bones bursting echoed.

The crowd saw Hu Jie's entire arm completely deformed.

Bare white bones protruded from the shoulder joint, blood still clinging to them.

It was a ghastly sight!

"Ah…"

Hu Jie also let out a miserable scream.

The onlooking crowd all showed incredibly surprised expressions.

This… this wasn't what they expected at all!
