Divine King of Honour-Chapter 1549: An Unexpected Encounter with an Acquaintance

Chapter 1549: Chapter 1549: An Unexpected Encounter with an Acquaintance

The Gold Attribute Elemental Power was devoured by Xu Nian’s Divine Flying Saber.

The Golden Storm dissipated accordingly.

Xu Nian then realized that he had traveled over three million miles away from where he first entered the storm.

Now, he was only halfway to Shendang Mountain.

Not far ahead was the place he must pass to reach Shendang Mountain.

If his guess was correct, Wu Hao and the others should be waiting there for him.

Now, Xu Nian no longer felt any fear facing them.

With this Mid-grade Divine Artifact flying saber, he was fully confident in killing them.

But he didn’t plan to just rush in like that.

After all, Wu Hao and Kuun Bin’s strengths were not weak, especially that Kuun Bin.

Ranked tenth on the Immortal Sovereign List.

It was said he had already forged the Law Furnace, a strength not to be underestimated.

Facing such a formidable opponent, if his flying saber failed, killing him would be very difficult.

So he must come up with a foolproof strategy.

"Huh, it’s him!"

Suddenly, Xu Nian saw a familiar person.

This person was none other than the Paper Taoist he had killed before.

At this moment, the Paper Taoist was flying sneakily towards a dense mountain forest.

"This Paper Taoist is likely another Paper Avatar, but where on earth is he going with such stealth?" Xu Nian mused to himself with a smile.

The Paper Taoist had been strong to him back then.

But now, he was no longer a threat.

However, the Paper Avatar Technique of this Paper Taoist was incredibly peculiar.

If he could acquire it, it would be a great way to preserve his life.

So Xu Nian immediately, with a thought, discreetly followed behind the Paper Avatar.

The cultivation of the Paper Avatar was at Immortal King Peak.

But Xu Nian’s Soul Cultivation had already reached Middle-stage Immortal Sovereign, making it impossible for him to be detected following the Paper Avatar.

Soon enough, the Paper Taoist descended into a hidden cave in a secluded mountain range.

Inside the cave, Xu Nian saw another Paper Taoist.

But Xu Nian didn’t immediately make a move.

Because he knew the cunning nature of the Paper Taoist, who would never easily expose his true body’s location.

Sure enough, shortly after, the original Paper Taoist turned into a simple paper figure.

The Paper Taoist inside the cave then took the paper figure and left the cave, flying into another dense forest.

Xu Nian quietly followed behind.

The same scene continued to repeat.

Up to seven times, ensuring no one was following him.

Finally, the last Paper Taoist stealthily reached a dilapidated cave in an extremely desolate mountain range.

Sitting cross-legged inside the cave was a Paper Taoist.

Xu Nian instantly recognized this Paper Taoist as the real Paper Taoist.

Because the true body of this Paper Taoist had a wound.

Obviously, the Paper Avatars wouldn’t have any wounds.

"Changing paper figures seven times, this Paper Taoist is truly cautious. If not for my patience, any lapse along the way would have rendered all previous efforts wasted," Xu Nian mused to himself.

The wonder of the Paper Avatar lies in its undetectability.

This is the true brilliance of the Paper Avatar technique.

If not for the true body being injured, Xu Nian might also have been unable to identify him as the real one.

Moreover, he likely wouldn’t have recklessly summoned the Paper Avatars back.

However, Xu Nian was curious how the Paper Taoist, being so careful, got injured.

Soon, Xu Nian understood.

Not far from the Paper Taoist lay the corpse of an Early Stage Immortal Sovereign level Immortal Snake.

It was evident this Immortal Snake had inadvertently stumbled upon the Paper Taoist’s true body and engaged him in battle.

The Paper Avatar going out earlier was clearly to buy healing Immortal Pills for him.

After all, the attacks of the Immortal Snake were known to be venomous.

"Indeed, the Paper Taoist is not easy to track down your true body," Xu Nian said with a smile as he stepped forward.

The Paper Taoist was merely at the Early Stage Immortal Sovereign level and was injured.

To Xu Nian, he posed no threat at all.

"Who’s there?" The Paper Taoist exclaimed in shock upon hearing Xu Nian’s voice.

The instant he planned to escape.

But upon seeing Xu Nian, he paused, watching Xu Nian with wary eyes.

"It’s you!"

He instantly recognized Xu Nian as the one who had eradicated his Thief Immortals gang.

His impression of Xu Nian was deep.

Because Xu Nian had mastered the Murder Bees’ queen.

"Seems like the Paper Taoist remembers me after all, I thought you might have forgotten," Xu Nian said with a smile.

Looking at the wary Paper Taoist before him, he wore an amused expression.

He knew that it was because the Paper Taoist saw his cultivation as only Immortal King Peak that he remained.

Otherwise, with his cautious nature, he’d have fled the moment Xu Nian spoke up.

Yet, even now, he remained vigilant.

"Of course I recognize you. You destroyed my Immortal Robber Gang. Even if you turn to ashes, I would recognize you. How did you find this place?" The Paper Taoist asked, glancing warily around.

He seemed scared that Xu Nian might have reinforcements.

"Rest assured, it’s just me. As for how I found you, I followed your avatars all the way here," Xu Nian replied with a smile.

The Paper Taoist’s face changed upon hearing this.

This guy had followed his avatar all the way, and he hadn’t even noticed?

He thought he had been cautious enough; not even an Early Stage Immortal Sovereign should be able to avoid detection entirely.

And despite changing avatars seven times along the way, the other party hadn’t made a move?

In that instant, the Paper Taoist had already born thoughts of fleeing.

But Xu Nian smiled: "You can’t escape, how about we make a deal?"

"What kind of deal?" the Paper Taoist inquired. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"You give me your Avatar Secret Technique, and I will spare your life," Xu Nian said with a smile.

The Paper Taoist was not a good person.

While being an Immortal Thief, he frequently hunted travelers from the Immortal Realm.

So Xu Nian had no reason to be polite to him.

"Why should I believe you?" asked the Paper Taoist.

"I keep my word," Xu Nian smiled.

"Alright, I’ll give you the Avatar Secret Technique, and once you have it, you must leave immediately," the Paper Taoist replied.

"It’s a deal!" Xu Nian laughed.

The Paper Taoist threw a Jade Scroll to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian caught the Jade Scroll and just as he was about to inspect it.

A Paper Avatar flew out from it, sword in hand, thrusting towards Xu Nian.

At the same time, two more avatars suddenly appeared behind Xu Nian.

"Die!"

The Paper Avatars simultaneously unleashed the Wood Attribute Law, countless vines surged towards Xu Nian, sealing off all escape routes.

Xu Nian had encountered these vines before; all were akin to top-grade Immortal Artifacts.

"Buzz!"

The vines instantly wrapped around Xu Nian, binding him like a cocoon.

"Haha, you’re finished," the true Paper Taoist laughed coldly from afar.

How could he hand over his lifebound secret technique to someone else for survival?

Since the beginning, he had planned to assassinate Xu Nian.

He had already discreetly sent two Paper Humans to sneak up behind Xu Nian.

Now that Xu Nian was wrapped in his vines, his fate was sealed.

"Crack!"

However, just when the Paper Taoist thought Xu Nian would be pierced by the top-grade Immortal Sword in the hands of the Paper Avatar, puncturing his Immortal Embryo.

The top-grade Immortal Artifact shattered directly upon striking Xu Nian.

"What?" The Paper Taoist’s face changed drastically.
