Chapter 667: Molten Lava Giant
The rapier transformed into a gleam of gold, returning to hover beside Xu Nian.
It floated directly behind him.
The sword tip radiated a sharp golden brilliance, making one's heart palpitate.
The crowd around all turned their gaze toward the Sword Radiance floating beside Xu Nian, each showing a surprised expression.
"Is this the Flying Sword Technique?"
"Legend has it that the Flying Sword Technique kills without form, a sword slaying from a thousand miles away, but isn't this a method only cultivators above Zifu level possess?"
"Yes, I never expected Xu Nian to have mastered such a technique, truly alarming and extraordinary."
...
Those Saints and Battle King Level experts aboard the giant ship discussed fervently among themselves.
It had to be said, Xu Nian's act of killing a Four-star Battle Emperor with a flying sword shocked them to their core.
With just this technique alone, he could exterminate them all in an extremely short period of time.
The Penglai disciples were equally astounded.
But even more so, their blood boiled with excitement.
One sword to kill a Four-star Battle Emperor, clean and decisive.
What a domineering display.
With such a Sect Master, how could they not take pride and feel admiration?
Even the Demon Cultivators from Dragon God Palace and those from the wilderness showed surprise at this scene.
Initially, they had doubts about this human youth.
But now, they were completely convinced by him.
After all, such a technique, there aren't many on this continent who could possess it.
Especially the Guard Zhu Yan who knew Xu Nian, felt even more astounded.
Xing Tu's brows were also tightly knitted at this moment.
Xu Nian's technique was entirely beyond his expectations.
He glanced at the rapier floating next to Xu Nian, his eyes carrying a grave look.
The aura of the rapier, even he felt a sense of threat.
He could not understand how Xu Nian had mastered such a terrifying technique.
The more it was so, the more killing intent emerged in his heart.
He couldn't wait to eliminate Xu Nian now, to prevent his future growth.
Therefore, this time, he decided to take action personally.
"Xu Nian, it seems I have underestimated your strength," Xing Tu spoke, his tone revealing a trace of killing intent, "not expecting you to have mastered such a Flying Sword Technique, reaching such a level at your age, truly you're a once-in-an-era genius. If it weren't for the Emperor's command, I might really be reluctant to kill you."
Xu Nian merely smiled lightly.
"Noisy, if you want to make a move then just do it, why all the unnecessary talk!" Xu Nian responded with a light chuckle.
Xing Tu's gaze immediately turned icy.
A fierce glint shone from his eyes.
A scorching breath rose along with it.
The ground began to tremble gradually.
"Since you wish for an early death, I shall grant you that!" Xing Tu roared loudly.
Then the ground behind him burst open.
A hand, like molten lava, reached out from below the earth.
A Molten Lava Giant, towering a hundred zhang tall, crawled out from the ground.
"Roar!"
The Molten Lava Beast roared furiously upon its appearance.
This roar shook the entire Artifact Refining Sect with intense trembling.
People around all showed an extremely surprised expression.
The aura exuding from the Molten Lava Giant was terrifying and fearful.
"It's actually the Fire Attribute Magma Giant Profound Argumentation," Xu Nian mused in surprise.
This Profound Argumentation was a giant formed from the power of magma beneath the earth.
Not only does it possess overwhelming power and strength, but it also has an Undying Body.
Dispelled, it could re-condense, a very powerful Fire Attribute Profound Argumentation.
Because this Magma Giant had no weakness and could re-form after being scattered, most cultivators would prefer to face the Red Lotus Karma Fire Profound Argumentation.
And they were reluctant to do battle with a warrior who had mastered the Molten Lava Giant Profound Argumentation.
After all, this kind of Magma Giant had no flaws to exploit.
The surrounding Battle Emperor Level experts all revealed surprised expressions.
Clearly, they did not expect that Xing Tu had comprehended such a Profound Argumentation.
"Haha, Xu Nian, my Molten Lava Giant possesses the power of an Eight-star War Emperor level and is utterly flawless, undying, and unkillable. Today, I shall use it to end your life." Xing Tu declared.
"An Eight-star War Emperor?" The surrounding crowd gasped in surprise upon hearing this.
How could they possibly fight?
An Eight-star War Emperor that's completely flawless and undying.
Even a typical Nine-star War Emperor would have a headache facing it.
However, Xu Nian simply smiled.
The so-called undying and unkillable claim was, of course, false.
This Molten Lava Giant was formed from the power of fire and Spiritual Energy.
As long as the caster was killed or the Spiritual Energy was exhausted, the Molten Lava Giant would crumble on its own.
Therefore, in Xu Nian's eyes, this so-called Molten Lava Giant was nothing more than a trivial matter.
"Do you really think a mere Molten Lava Giant can kill me? Then you're seriously underestimating me," said Xu Nian with a slight smile.
After speaking, he waved his sleeve.
"Buzz buzz!"
With a wave of fluctuation spreading out,
Sword after sword began to materialize out of thin air next to Xu Nian.
Each of these swords was enveloped in a golden radiance.
The sharp aura emanating from them made his scalp tingle.
"So many, how is this possible?"
"I get it now, this is a Sword Array, a powerful one at that. It's not the true Flying Sword Technique, but its power is still remarkably fearsome."
...
Exclamations erupted from among the crowd.
Everyone watched as sword after sword appeared above Xu Nian's head,
Their eyes revealing terror-filled expressions.
Members of the Xu Family and Leng Family War Emperors nearby saw this and immediately retreated.
The aura of these swords gave them a thick sense of impending death.
Of course, they did not want to be affected.
Even a single one of these swords could claim their lives.
Naturally, the person frowning the deepest at this moment was Xing Tu.
Initially, he had thought Xu Nian only had one sword.
But now, it appeared he was terribly mistaken.
At this moment, Xu Nian had summoned no fewer than three hundred swords.
So many swords, if they all attacked at once,
He wasn't sure if he could withstand them.
"Attack!"
Xing Tu's gaze hardened, and he immediately made a decision.
He directed the Molten Lava Giant to attack Xu Nian.
The Giant's massive body leaped up,
Instantly blotting out the sun.
Then everyone saw the Molten Lava Giant swinging its fists, made of condensed boulders, directly crashing towards Xu Nian.
Disciples of the Artifact Refining Sect were stricken with terror.
If this punch were to land, the entire sect's gate might completely collapse.
The terrifying wind generated by the fist alone caused the disciples nearby to fall down, unable to stand.
Yet Xu Nian remained as composed as ever.
Despite the bellowing fist wind, his figure was unmovable like a mountain.
Suddenly, Xu Nian's lips curved into a slight smile.
He looked up sharply at the incoming Molten Lava Giant, his eyes bursting with a fierce radiance.
With a sweep of his hand,
The three hundred swords trembled incessantly,
Forming a circle.
"Go!"
Xu Nian's palm slammed down harshly.
The three hundred swords shot out in unison, directly bombarding the Molten Lava Giant.
In an instant, the Molten Lava Giant was riddled with holes, torn apart.
