Divine King of Honour-Chapter 1553: A Turtle in the Jar

Next, Xu Nian bid farewell to Leng Yanran and continued flying towards the direction of Shendang Mountain.

According to his plan, he intended to confront Wu Hao and his group next.

He wanted to ensure that Wu Hao and his companions would all lose their lives in this mountain range.

...

Just as Xu Nian was rushing toward the mountain range where Wu Hao and his group were located,

on a massive peak in the Dragon Breath Mountain Range, Wu Hao and the other three were becoming impatient.

"Didn’t you say that Xu Nian had long since left the Earth Immortal Sect’s domain? According to the schedule, he should have been here by now, so why hasn’t he shown up?" Wu Hao looked at Jiang Shengtian with displeasure.

"The information I received was indeed that he had left the Earth Immortal Sect, and by the timeline, he should indeed have arrived, but in recent days, no one has passed through here," Jiang Shengtian said with a frown.

"Could he be aware that we’re planning to ambush him, so he took a detour? Or perhaps he’s simply found a place to hide?" the female Immortal Venerable spoke up.

Her name was Li Cloud.

She was quite well-known within the Haotian Sect.

The fact that she had achieved her current cultivation level was largely due to Wu Hao’s support.

"It shouldn’t be. This is the closest route to Shendang Mountain. One side is the Turquoise Pool, and the other is the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. The Turquoise Pool absolutely forbids male cultivators from passing, and as for the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, there’s a deep animosity between him and Shendang Mountain. If he really went through the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain territory, he would likely meet a very miserable end," Kuun Bin spoke up.

Jiang Shengtian quickly nodded in agreement.

Anyone with half a brain would choose to come through here.

"Then could he be hiding, intending to cultivate for decades or even centuries?" Wu Hao asked impatiently.

"That’s possible, but not likely. After leaving the Earth Immortal Sect, it’s all wilderness here, and the Immortal Essence in this area isn’t absorbable. Even if he has his own cultivation resources, based on his expenditures at the auction, there shouldn’t be much left," Kuun Bin replied.

Having spent more than twenty thousand nine-grade Immortal Marrow, even an Immortal Emperor would probably not be able to produce much more to sustain cultivation.

"So you’re saying, he really can’t stay in this wilderness too long. Then why hasn’t he shown up yet?" Wu Hao’s face showed dissatisfaction.

Kuun Bin remained silent.

Because he couldn’t think of a reasonable explanation either.

"Hey, Brother Wu, Brother Kun, he’s coming." Jiang Shengtian suddenly pointed at the swiftly approaching streak of light and exclaimed.

As soon as these words were spoken, Kuun Bin and Wu Hao both looked ahead.

They saw a figure speeding rapidly towards them.

"He really came. Hahaha!" Wu Hao laughed.

Kuun Bin’s eyes also brightened.

But the most excited of all was Jiang Shengtian.

He clenched his fists, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

"Li Cloud, once he arrives, deploy the Space Lock Divine Talisman, and don’t let him escape," Wu Hao instructed Li Cloud at his side.

"Yes, Brother!" Li Cloud nodded immediately.

"It seems Xu Nian still doesn’t know the danger he’s in, charging straight at us without slowing down," Jiang Shengtian chuckled softly.

In his view, after today, Xu Nian would cease to exist in this world.

Everything Xu Nian had done to him before would all become a mirage.

From this day forth, the only one left in the world would be Jiang Shengtian, and no more Xu Nian.

Kuun Bin remained silent, his gaze icy cold.

He was contemplating whether the Xu Nian in front of them had brought his avatar along.

If he hadn’t brought it, this planned kill might alert him.

But now, he had no other good options, and could only proceed step by step.

"Take action!"

Just as Xu Nian flew over the mountain range, Wu Hao gave a loud shout.

Then, four figures dashed out simultaneously, surrounding Xu Nian.

"It’s you?" Xu Nian’s face showed a surprised expression as he saw the four people.

"Hahaha, Xu Nian, didn’t expect this, did you?" Jiang Shengtian sneered at Xu Nian, his eyes mocking.

Wu Hao was also very satisfied with the surprised look on Xu Nian’s face.

He gave a signal to Li Cloud beside him.

Li Cloud immediately activated a Divine Talisman.

With the talisman activated, the entire space of the mountain range was instantly locked.

Xu Nian’s expression changed.

"Space Lock?"

He found himself unable to enter the Chaos Divine Palace.

"Hahaha, Xu Nian, we long knew you had a Space Divine Artifact, so we planned it out. As soon as you appeared, we used the talisman to lock the space. This lock will last for 15 minutes, so even with wings, you won’t fly away," Wu Hao laughed heartily as he spoke.

Jiang Shengtian also watched Xu Nian with a mocking expression.

Seeing their mocking expressions, Xu Nian was indeed a bit surprised.

But soon, an imperceptible cold smile appeared on his lips.

Yes, the Xu Nian before them was not the real Xu Nian.

It was just a mud avatar.

In reality, the real Xu Nian was on a distant hill, miles away.

This mud avatar was merely a scout to test Wu Hao and the others.

He hadn’t expected it to draw out such a trump card of theirs.

Thinking of this, Xu Nian felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, he met the Paper Taoist and cultivated the Elemental Avatar.

If the real Xu Nian had recklessly gone forward, under space lock, not only he couldn’t enter the Chaos Divine Palace,

but his flying daggers couldn’t perform space shuttling, greatly reducing their potency.

To kill them under such conditions would be nearly impossible.

He might even get killed by them instead.

Now with just a mud avatar, he wasted one of their Divine Talismans, definitely a worthwhile trade.

"Jiang Shengtian, was it you who killed Tantai Xun Yan’s avatar?" Xu Nian asked Jiang Shengtian coldly.

"Haha, yes, it was indeed me. That bitch had a good relationship with you, didn’t she? I originally planned to enslave her and let you see her being toyed with, but she refused to yield to death, so I sent her to meet King Yan," Jiang Shengtian sneered disdainfully.

His gaze towards Xu Nian carried a trace of ridicule.

A flash of killing intent appeared in Xu Nian’s eyes.

Indeed, Jiang Shengtian targeted Tantai Xun Yan to retaliate against him.

Tantai Xun Yan had helped him in the Immortal Realm quite a few times, something Jiang Shengtian was well aware of.

"Jiang Shengtian, when you ascended to the Immortal Realm, as long as you hid obediently in the Fuyao Sect, I couldn’t do anything to you. But you crossed the line, provoked me repeatedly," Xu Nian said coldly.

Tantai Xun Yan was now his woman.

With her avatar slain, Xu Nian wouldn’t let it slide.

Jiang Shengtian must die.

"Haha, provoked you? Crossed the line? Xu Nian, it seems you haven’t figured out the situation. Now you’re a fish in a barrel. Not only will I destroy your bottom line, but after you’re dead, none of your women will escape," Jiang Shengtian’s eyes were maliciously intent.

Beside him, Wu Hao also laughed coldly, as if watching a spectacle. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Staring at the arrogant Jiang Shengtian, Xu Nian’s gaze turned icy cold.

"Jiang Shengtian, today is your death day," Xu Nian sneered.

With that, Xu Nian’s figure instantly turned into a stream of light, attacking Jiang Shengtian directly.

In his hand, a sharp sword stabbed out, imbued with a strong Black Hole Law.

Jiang Shengtian’s face changed, and he immediately backed off.

"Hmph, courting death!"

Wu Hao snorted coldly, his figure flashing as he appeared in front of Jiang Shengtian.

He struck out a palm, also imbued with a powerful Earth Attribute Law power.
