Divine King of Honour

Xu Nian shook his continuously buzzing head before finally looking at the Giant Hou in front of him.

It must be said that the Giant Hou was truly fearsome. Its roar alone almost made him pass out. If not for his sturdy physique, he might have already been shaken to internal bleeding by the roar.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What a terrifying sound, it seems the previous battle still wasn't enough to weaken it," Xu Nian muttered to himself.

The reason he dared to strike at the Giant Hou was that he saw it had been fighting with two giant apes for a long time and had expended a lot of energy.

Yet, now it seemed that the stamina of the Giant Hou was more horrifying than he had imagined. The previous two giant apes had already left many wounds on it, and his own sword had also caused some damage, but its roar was still so deep and fierce. It truly deserved to be a descendent of the Ancient Fierce Beast Divine Hou.

"Roar!"

The Giant Hou let out another roar and then charged towards Xu Nian.

Despite its huge size, its speed was incredibly fast, and it quickly approached Xu Nian, its tremendously fierce claws reaching directly for him.

"Hmph, you want the Dragon Energy inside me?" Xu Nian snorted coldly, the Dragon Energy, Gang Qi, and Spiritual Energy circulating simultaneously within his body.

Dragon Energy gathered and formed dragon scales on his hands, Gang Qi gathered in his arms as an auxiliary, and Spiritual Energy was poured unreservedly into the Xuan Iron Sword in his hand.

The Xuan Iron Sword in his hands trembled incessantly, surrounded by Wind Fluff.

With the enhancement of the three energies, Xu Nian's power reached a terrifying level.

He slashed out with his sword, and twelve sword shadows struck towards the Giant Hou's fierce claws, clashing fiercely.

The spectators outside the arena watched this scene with surprise on their faces.

Clashing head-on with the Giant Hou, that was truly ferocious!

"Clang!"

A sound like the collision of fine iron rang out.

The Xuan Iron Sword in Xu Nian's hand directly clashed hard against the Giant Hou's claws, and two gusts of wind collided and ultimately exploded, sweeping through the surroundings.

The surrounding trees were nearly snapped by the terrifying windblast, and Han Xin and Yun Lan, who were standing at a distance, could hardly keep their footing and almost fell from the trees.

The spectators outside were stunned because Xu Nian had actually blocked the Giant Hou's strike.

The power of the Giant Hou was extremely terrifying, even two two-star Silver Moon Level giant apes were incomparable to it.

Of course, Xu Nian didn't hold out for long and was soon sent flying by a violent slap following the hit from the Giant Hou.

Xu Nian's power was ultimately inferior to the Giant Hou. The reason he managed to stand his ground for a moment was only because of the burst of power due to the enhancement from the three energies, a method that obviously couldn't last.

Xu Nian, along with his sword, slid thirty meters before stopping, his arms numb from the vibration.

"Such strong power, it seems that a direct confrontation really isn't feasible," Xu Nian said, rubbing his trembling arms.

"Roar!"

Seeing Xu Nian beaten back, the Giant Hou let out another crazed cry and continued charging at Xu Nian.

This time Xu Nian didn't plan to directly confront the Giant Hou again. If he tried to clash directly, he feared that it would kill the Giant Hou by exhausting it, but instead it might kill him first.

"Whoosh!"

Xu Nian instantly executed the Gale Dragon Step, moving like a swiftly blowing wind, elusive and unpredictable.

The Giant Hou's attacks nearly grazed Xu Nian's body each time, one step slower, and his claws would have likely hit him.

Once hit, Xu Nian, even if lucky to survive, would have been severely injured.

The spectators outside the arena were on the edge of their seats, sweating bullets for Xu Nian.

However, Xu Nian continually moved his body, and he was by no means idle—if anyone saw inside his sleeves at that moment, they would be greatly surprised.

For on Xu Nian's right arm, two small dragons, one red and one blue, were coiled, both exuding an immensely terrifying aura.

These were not real dragons, of course, but a Fire Dragon formed from the Fire Wolf Crystal Core and a Thunder Dragon formed by the Thunderclap Power that Xu Nian had utilized.

Initially, the Thunderclap Tyrant Fist relied solely on Thunderclap Power, but earlier, Xu Nian had a sudden idea to see if he could use the Fire Attribute power of the Fire Wolf Crystal Core, and unexpectedly, it worked.

Now, with both the Fire and Thunder Attributes empowered by his Gang Qi, a formidable Dragon Energy had formed—the combined power of Thunder and Fire was boundless.

This was also extremely dangerous, as it required immense control over one's own power. Otherwise, the explosive natures of Thunder and Fire meeting might cause him to explode before he could even form his attack.

"Kid, you've got guts. Do you know you just skirted the gate of hell? I can understand using Gang Qi to form the Dragon Energy of Fire, but to combine both Thunder and Fire, that's practically a death wish," Emperor Ye Tian's voice echoed in Xu Nian's mind.

Xu Nian gave a bitter smile, yet there was no trace of regret in his eyes.

It was a success, after all. As long as nothing unexpected happened, these two powers wouldn't collapse, and he was eager to see the power of the Thunder and Fire Tyrant Fist.

"Roar!"

The Giant Hou finally snapped, letting out a heaven-high roar, its eyes turning blood red as it increased the speed of its swinging iron claws.

"Just in time!"

Seeing this, Xu Nian no longer dodged; instead, he thrust off the ground, his figure soaring straight towards the Giant Hou's iron claw.

"Damn, is he seeking death?" Everyone outside widened their eyes.

They had watched Xu Nian dodging all this time, thinking he planned to wear down the Giant Hou. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he took it head-on.

Last time, Xu Nian blasted a Fire Wolf with one punch, but the Giant Hou was far stronger than the Fire Wolf!

However, just as everyone felt puzzled by Xu Nian's actions, his fist collided with the iron claw of the Giant Hou.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion.

The Thunder Fire Power suddenly collided, creating an immensely powerful force that blew away half of the Giant Hou's body.

Naturally, Xu Nian didn't fare much better; he was thrown backward, the blood-colored dragon scales on his fist scorched black. If not for the protection of these scales,

Even having defeated the Giant Hou, his hand would have vaporized completely.

The spectators gasped in shock, staring at the Giant Hou's remaining half-corpse, their shock indescribable.

Xu Nian staggered to his feet, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, a large piece of his chest skin burnt, flesh exposed, pain overwhelming him.

Yet, at this moment, Xu Nian looked at the lifeless Giant Hou and a radiant smile appeared on his face.

He had succeeded, albeit grimly, but still, he had won. Find your next read on empire

The power of the Thunder and Fire Tyrant Fist was as terrifying as he had imagined.

The entire audience, looking at the smiling Xu Nian, engraved this face in their hearts, unforgettable even many years later.
