Divine King of Honour-Chapter 443 Are You Sure?
In a dense jungle within Xu Family Ancestral Land.
On a huge stone.
Two middle-aged men were sitting cross-legged.
Both wore azure Strange Metal Armor, exuding an aura of sacred might.
And the two men were currently chatting together.
"Was the Family Head not overreacting this time? He actually set up the Slaying Immortal and Destroying God Array in all nine safety zones and had all Eighteen Holy Guards mobilize. Is a mere Xu Nian really worth all this effort?" a middle-aged man voiced his opinion.
The Eighteen Holy Guards are the most formidable force in the Xu Family, second only to the Battle Emperor Experts.
They are a hidden force cultivated secretly by the Xu Family, only deployed in times of existential crisis for the family.
The Family Head Xu had now dispatched all Eighteen Holy Guards to intercept Xu Nian.
Just how much importance did he place on this Xu Nian?
"I heard that Xu Nian has become an Alien Minister Elder of the Divine River Palace, with a status only one tier below the Palace Master. If he were to escape, the Xu Family could truly face an existential catastrophe. That must be why the Family Head is taking this so seriously," another middle-aged man responded.
"An Alien Minister Elder, how could the Divine River Palace choose that young upstart for such a position?" the previously scornful Holy Guard said, his face full of disdain.
"Don’t underestimate Xu Nian. I’ve heard that the number of Saint Level experts who have died by his hand is not small. We should still be careful," warned the Holy Guard, noticing his companion’s underestimation of Xu Nian.
"Hmph, you’re too cautious. I’ve already found out that Xu Nian is just a One-star Saint. Even if he possesses strength beyond his own level, at best he can match a Third or Fourth Star Saint. Both of us are at the Five-star Saint Level, isn’t a mere Xu Nian easy to handle? Besides, we have the Slaying Immortal and Destroying God Array. Unless a Battle Emperor Expert intervenes, anyone who comes will die, so if Xu Nian doesn’t show up that’s fine, but if he does, then he’d better be ready to turn to ash!" The Holy Guard responded with a sneer and a dismissive expression.
Hearing his companion’s words,
the previously alert Holy Guard nodded and relaxed his mind.
His companion was right.
No matter how formidable Xu Nian might be, he couldn’t possibly withstand the Slaying Immortal and Destroying God Array.
It seemed he had been too anxious.
"It’s been so long, and Xu Nian hasn’t appeared yet. I’m afraid he might not be coming out of our safety zone. Sigh, I had hoped to kill Xu Nian to earn some merit. Now it looks hopeless," the proud Holy Guard said with regret, feeling somewhat irked.
"Buzz!"
Just then, a fluctuation transmitted through the area.
The two Holy Guards were instantly startled.
Their Slaying Immortal and Destroying God Array had been disturbed for a moment.
But then it vanished quickly.
"What’s going on? Why did the disturbance disappear? We clearly felt something enter the array just now, then suddenly it was gone. Could it be Xu Nian?" The cautious Holy Guard asked.

After scanning the area with his Spiritual Sense Power, the previously arrogant Holy Guard rolled his eyes in disappointment, "There’s no sign of anyone, let alone that damn Xu Nian—no one at all. Maybe some small animal accidentally triggered the array and was annihilated by it."
That Holy Guard swept his gaze around once more, found nothing out of the ordinary, and thought he was being overly jumpy.
He settled back down on the stone.
"Are you two looking for us?"
However, just as they’d sat back down, they hadn’t even warmed their seats,
when a voice suddenly arose behind them.
The two Holy Guards were so frightened that they immediately leaped off the stone, hastily distancing themselves from it.
Once they steadied themselves, they realized someone new had appeared on the stone.
"Who are you?" the previously vigilante Holy Guard barked.
A cold sweat ran down his back at that moment.
Someone appeared behind him, and he didn’t notice at all.
This meant that, had that person wanted to kill him just now, he definitely could have ended his life in an instant.
"You all were discussing me just now, weren’t you? How could you forget me so quickly?" Xu Nian said with a cold laugh as he looked at the two men.
"You are Xu Nian!" The eyes of the two Holy Guards sharpened simultaneously.
It was unexpected for Xu Nian to suddenly appear behind him.
Did that mean the slight fluctuation produced by the formation just now was caused by Xu Nian?
But how could it only have caused a momentary disturbance, after which the formation failed to track his movements?
"Yes, I am Xu Nian. You wanted to kill me, didn’t you? Well, now I am here," Xu Nian said with a light laugh.
"Ha ha, Xu Nian, since you already know we want to kill you, you still dare to come out; are you seeking death?" the cocky Holy Guard said with a cold laugh.
He originally thought he wouldn’t have the chance to kill Xu Nian, but unexpectedly, Xu Nian had shown himself.
It was as if heaven had opened its curtains for him, presenting the honors right before him.
"Kill me? What makes you think you can kill me? Is it based on your cultivation or this Slaying Immortal and Destroying God Array?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.
"Hmph, who needs the Slaying Immortal and Destroying God Array to deal with you? With my cultivation, I could kill you ten times over," the cocky Holy Guard snorted.
Having said that, he burst forth with the aura of a Fifth-star Battle Saint.
Seeing his companion preparing to take action, the other Holy Guard quickly wanted to persuade him.
However, before he could even speak, the cocky Holy Guard charged forward.
"Hmph, ignorant fool, today I will show you the price of arrogance. Die, Arhat Fist!" The cocky Holy Guard let out a cold snort, and then threw his fist towards Xu Nian, aiming to bombard him.
Golden light erupted from his fist.
He seemed to transform into an Arhat, exuding a terrifying aura.
Xu Nian, faced with the middle-aged man’s incoming punch, had a trace of mockery flicker across his face.
Suddenly, Xu Nian’s eyes turned piercing.
A powerful atmosphere exploded from him.
Then, they saw Xu Nian swiftly striking out with one palm, lightning-fast.
His hand moved with extraordinary speed, landing a palm directly onto the chest of the Fifth-star Holy Guard.
"Bang!"
The cocky Holy Guard was immediately sent flying by Xu Nian’s palm, retreating a hundred zhang before steadying himself.
"Ha ha, such a weak palm strike, I felt nothing. Are you just putting on a show?" the cocky Holy Guard laughed heartily.
The sudden speed of Xu Nian’s strike had given him a scare; he had thought he would be seriously injured.
But, to his surprise, Xu Nian’s attack was too weak, and it hadn’t caused him a single injury.
This instantly swept away the slight concern that had arisen in him.
"Really? You felt nothing at all?" Yet, Xu Nian asked with a light laugh.
The smile on the cocky Holy Guard’s face froze instantly, then turned to horror.
"No..."
The Holy Guard let out an agonizing scream.
Then, his body turned into chunks of flesh, falling to the ground.
The other Holy Guard was immediately dumbfounded.
A Five-star Saint Level individual had been killed in one move?
What exactly was Xu Nian’s strength?
