Chapter 643: Challenging the Sword Array
Golden Peng was always extremely confident in his Invincible Golden Body.
He was a Three-star Battle Emperor when he used it.
Even the attacks of a Peak Three-star Body Emperor powerhouse could hardly break his Protective Golden Light.
However, now he had only withstood a palm strike from Xu Nian, and the entire Protective Golden Light had shattered.
How could he not be surprised?
Xu Nian, on the other hand, chuckled lightly.
First Level Wind Wave, when applied to palm techniques, was also quite powerful.
The palm he had just struck contained the Wind Vibration Profound Argumentation from the Wind Power.
It caused Golden Peng's Protective Golden Light to shatter by generating a tremendously strong Wind Vibration.
This palm strike seemed common and unremarkable, but its power was far from small.
If Golden Peng hadn't had the protection of Protective Golden Light, then it's likely that just now this palm strike would have been enough to shatter his internal organs.
"Xu Nian, don't you think you are going too far? This is our Penglai's territory," Golden Peng said as he stood up, clutching his chest and pointing at Xu Nian with venom in his voice.
"That's right, what audacity! An outsider dares to run wild in our Penglai. We'll definitely report this to the Sect Leader."
The people around echoed in agreement.
One by one, they felt very displeased with Xu Nian's actions.
However, they had also witnessed Xu Nian's strength and only boasted with their mouths, not daring to actually do anything to Xu Nian.
Xu Nian glanced at the people around him with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
He chose to ignore Golden Peng's words entirely.
He had provoked Golden Peng proactively because he disliked him.
Furthermore, it was quite clear that Golden Peng harbored ulterior motives for Luo Bing.
Out of sympathy, Xu Nian thought it was a good opportunity to properly teach Golden Peng a lesson.
To make him rein himself in a bit.
Golden Peng saw that Xu Nian was ignoring his words and his eyes filled with even more anger.
However, he didn't dare to take action against Xu Nian.
A person who could shatter his Invincible Golden Body with a single palm—another confrontation would be suicidal.
Xu Nian ignored Golden Peng and instead focused his attention on that giant golden sword.
"Whoosh!"
Xu Nian's figure moved swiftly, heading directly towards the central platform of the Sword Pond.
"Is he going to try and pull out the Evil Extermination Giant Sword?"
"Humph, what's the use even if he tries? It's doomed to fail. You all saw just now that the Evil Extermination Sword Array isn't something ordinary people can withstand."
"That's right, the power of the Evil Extermination Sword Array is too strong. Even if Xu Nian is more capable than Brother Golden Peng, he might not be able to withstand it."
…
The people around watched Xu Nian's actions, none of them holding much hope for him.
For thousands of years, the Evil Extermination Sword Array had never been subdued by anyone.
Just now, even Golden Peng had only made that giant sword move a tiny bit.
Even if Xu Nian was extremely strong, he probably couldn't overcome the Evil Extermination Sword Array.
A sneer appeared in Golden Peng's eyes.
After his attempt, Xu Nian still dared to try.
Did he really think he could control the Evil Extermination Sword Array?
"Humph, wait till the Sword Array kills you. Let's see if you dare to remain arrogant," Golden Peng scoffed.
He was convinced Xu Nian couldn't withstand the Evil Extermination Sword Array.
Seeing Xu Nian dart forward, Luo Bing's phoenix eyes also sparkled with a flicker of brilliance.
She had held a feeling from earlier on.
Feeling that Xu Nian was the person she was looking for.
Now finally came the time to verify this premonition.
She wondered if Xu Nian could truly succeed.
And if he really did, should she offer herself to him?
"Hum!"
Just as various thoughts ran through everyone's minds,
Xu Nian felt an overwhelming Sword Intent rushing toward him.
And with the burst of this Sword Intent, Xu Nian clearly felt a great resistant force.
"Hmph!"
Xu Nian gave a light grunt, his palm swept through the air and shattered the sword intent.
Then, he drifted down without obstruction, landing on the platform of the Sword Pond.
Upon alighting on the platform, Xu Nian came face to face with the golden giant sword.
Now, close to the golden giant sword,
Xu Nian could clearly sense the weight and hardness of the golden giant sword.
The bizarre patterns on the golden giant sword were also clearly displayed before Xu Nian.
"What a domineering giant sword, this should be a Spiritual Artifact, probably already at the Low Grade Spiritual Artifact level," Xu Nian muttered to himself.
Just like Spirit Pills, Spiritual Artifacts were divided into four grades: Low Grade, Mid-grade, Top Grade, and Extreme Grade.
Generally, the quality of the Spiritual Artifacts Xu Nian and his peers obtained was at the level of Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts.
Whether it was Xu Nian's shield, the Thunderclap Hammer, or the God King Tripod, they all belonged to the category of Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts.
Although the rank of that Immortal Sword was high, it was clear that without the guidance of Immortal Qi and with the Artifact Spirit inside having dissipated,
its quality could at best not be much different from a Top Grade Spiritual Artifact.
If there was anything truly valuable on Xu Nian, it was only the Gravity Ring.
That was a real Divine Artifact.
It was just that Xu Nian could not yet unleash its true power.
After observing the golden giant sword,
Xu Nian also gained some understanding of the Evil Extermination Sword Array.
"I want to see just how powerful you are," a strong desire for battle flashed in Xu Nian's eyes.
With that, Xu Nian reached out and grabbed directly for the hilt of the Evil Extermination Sword Array.
"Buzz!"
Sure enough, the moment Xu Nian touched the giant sword,
A powerful pulse of sword intent came through.
Immediately, the sharp swords in the Sword Pond began to tremble violently.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
These sharp swords quickly rose from the ground, hovering in the air above the Sword Pond.
Their razor-sharp tips pointed directly at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian wasn't surprised to see this since the scene was exactly like the battle with the Golden Peng.
Xu Nian paid no attention to these hovering swords
but instead tried to forcefully pull out the golden giant sword.
However, the moment he applied force,
Xu Nian instantly felt that the weight of the golden giant sword was terrifying.
The golden giant sword was as daunting as a small mountain.
"This giant sword is so heavy, it must weigh nearly a million pounds," Xu Nian thought with shock.
He had not expected the gravitational force of the golden giant sword to be so terrifying.
"Whoosh, whoosh!"
Just then, those swords hovering in the air also began to stir.
They turned into streaks of light and rushed towards Xu Nian at high speed.
"Haha, I have the Invincible Golden Body for defense and can withstand this, let's see how you defend against these sharp swords," Golden Peng laughed heartily.
The surrounding crowd also showed mocking expressions.
Indeed, even if Xu Nian possessed a shield,
he probably couldn't block so many sharp sword attacks in an instant.
Moreover, the power of these swords would only increase.
In this way, Xu Nian would be even less likely to withstand the assault of the sharp swords.
However, when Xu Nian witnessed this scene, a surge of battle intent welled up in his eyes.
"Buzz!"
A powerful fluctuation came forth.
An invisible force of Wind Power began to converge all around Xu Nian,
forming a Wind Wall directly!
"Clang!"
The sharp swords collided with the Wind Wall.
They actually stopped directly, three feet away from Xu Nian's body,
completely unable to advance even a fraction of an inch.
