Divine King of Honour

Chapter 195 Zhao Yanyun's Shock

Xu Nian then went to his mansion with Chen Xifeng, where they met Yan Wu and Yan Ruyu.

They had been worried about Xu Nian's safety, and upon seeing that Xu Nian was unharmed, their hanging hearts were put at ease.

After briefly conversing with Yan Wu, Xu Nian left his mansion and headed for the Governor Mansion.

With the Ding Family watching him so closely, only the Governor Mansion was safe.

Staying in his own mansion would not only harm himself but also the Yan family father and daughter.

Upon entering the Governor Mansion, to his surprise, he found Chen Wudi sparring with Zhao Yanyun.

What surprised Xu Nian was that Zhao Yanyun had actually broken through to the One-star Battle General level, and Chen Wudi had reached the Three-star Martial Sect level.

Both had made breakthroughs during the time he was away.

Of course, Chen Wudi was naturally no match for Zhao Yanyun.

Even if Zhao Yanyun intentionally suppressed her cultivation, Chen Wudi was still thoroughly defeated.

After all, the gap between them was simply too large.

"Hey, Xu Nian, you're back!" Just then, Chen Wudi, seeing Xu Nian approaching, excitedly exclaimed.

Zhao Yanyun also quickly turned her head toward Xu Nian, and upon seeing him, a faint smile appeared on her face.

In truth, upon receiving the news that Xu Nian was being pursued by the Ding Family, she had been worried for Xu Nian's safety.

Now that she saw Xu Nian returning, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, I come back to see you getting thrashed. So, how does it feel? Were you beaten badly?" Xu Nian teased Chen Wudi.

Having reverted to his original appearance, Chen Wudi and Zhao Yanyun naturally recognized him immediately.

"Hmph, Cousin Sister has broken through to the Battle General Realm. I naturally can't beat her, and even if you took my place, you would only get trashed as well," Chen Wudi retorted.

"That's not necessarily true. You are you, and I am me. Sister Yanyun is formidable, but she's not at the point where she can thrash me," Xu Nian said with a smile.

"Brother, bragging is not done like that. I know you killed a Six-winged Ice Crystal Viper at the Nine-star Martial Sect Peak level, but Cousin Sister is now a Battle General level expert, you must know the gap between a Battle General and a Martial Sect, right?" Chen Wudi, slinging his arm over Xu Nian's shoulder, said with disbelief.

In his view, although Xu Nian had the strength to defeat a Nine-star Martial Sect at the peak, there was still a considerable gap from a One-star Battle General, and facing the One-star Battle General Zhao Yanyun, he was bound to be defeated.

"Oh, so you're convinced I'll lose? How about we make a bet? If I beat Sister Yanyun, you'll wash my smelly socks for a month, how about that?" Xu Nian suggested with a smile.

"And if you lose?" Chen Wudi asked.

"Then I won't fight back, and you can give me a beating," Xu Nian replied with a smile.

"Deal, no going back on your word!" Chen Wudi's eyes lit up as he quickly agreed.

"Boom!" Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire

A loud noise rang out, Zhao Yanyun was forced back dozens of steps, while Xu Nian's figure remained unmoved.

"How... how is this possible?" Zhao Yanyun stared at Xu Nian in shock.

Although she hadn't used her full strength, the power was by no means comparable to what a Nine-star Martial Sect powerhouse could exert. Even if Xu Nian could catch it, it shouldn't have been this easy.

"It's over, this is like capsizing in the gutter." Seeing this scene, Chen Wudi felt a strong sense of foreboding within.

The thought of washing Xu Nian's smelly socks for a month filled him with misery.

Xu Nian however, looked at Zhao Yanyun with a smile and said, "Sister Yanyun, I meant what I said earlier. You should use all your strength, no need to hold back. I'm serious, or you really won't have a chance to strike."

Zhao Yanyun's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and finally, she nodded, a delicate long sword appearing in her hand.

"Fine, since you're confident, then take this sword attack. If you can catch it, I'll consider it my loss," Zhao Yanyun said very seriously.

"Come on!" Xu Nian nodded in response, yet showed no signs of drawing a weapon.

This action caused Zhao Yanyun's brows to furrow again and her eyes to become sharp.

"Heavenly Rank Sword Technique, Extreme Cold Ice Rain!" Zhao Yanyun let out a soft chant, and a strong coldness emanated from her, the ground around her immediately covered with a layer of frost.

Then with a slash of her sword, sword qi transformed into an ice rain, sharp and relentless, sweeping towards Xu Nian.

An ordinary Nine-star Martial Sect powerhouse facing such a move would almost certainly be doomed—unable to even dodge.

Xu Nian, observing the ice rain hurrying towards him, simply smiled lightly.

His finger acted as a sword, pointing it in the void.

In an instant, all the ice rain that had barreled towards him stopped one meter in front of Xu Nian.

"Break for me!"

With a light shout from Xu Nian, all the ice rain exploded on the spot, falling to the ground.

"Is... is this...?" Zhao Yanyun's eyes widened in amazement.

Chen Wudi, however, was utterly baffled, completely at a loss as to how Xu Nian accomplished this.

"Haha, truly a genius blessed by heaven, only sixteen and he has already comprehended Dao. Even in the entire empire, he's a rarity!" Just then, Chen Tiansheng's hearty laughter came from the distance.

Dao?

Chen Wudi's eyes bulged, shocked to his core.

Zhao Yanyun's heart trembled with an indescribable shock—the realm Xu Nian had reached was that of Dao.
