Divine King of Honour-Chapter 1372: Enormous Killing Intent

Chapter 1372: Chapter 1372: Enormous Killing Intent
"As everyone can see, this forbidden zone in Divine Wind Valley is extremely perilous. This Golden Light Pearl is not a true defensive treasure; it can only withstand the attack of poison gas and toxic miasma. It can’t fend off immortal insects like the Iron Armor Worm."
The elder spoke.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yanxia and the Tong brothers immediately grew tense.
"Brother Xu, could you please help me? I’ll walk beside you." Luo Yanxia approached Xu Nian and coquettishly said.
As she spoke, she leaned closer to Xu Nian.
Clearly thinking Xu Nian was powerful and wanting him to take care of her.
Her strength was similar to Lei Bing’s, and since Lei Bing could be killed in an instant, she naturally felt terrified.
"Sorry, but I can’t fend off the Iron Armor Worm either," Xu Nian declined with a smile.
"Even if we can’t fend it off, we can still look out for each other." Luo Yanxia was unwilling to give up.
"No, that won’t work. I don’t like getting close to strangers," Xu Nian smiled.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yanxia knew she couldn’t say more.
She had to step aside.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, another swift shadow pierced through the Golden Light Shield, heading straight for Xu Nian.
The speed was extremely fast, and Xu Nian couldn’t dodge at all.
The crowd was also taken aback.
Was Xu Nian going to die?
"Boom!"
A muffled bang sounded.
Xu Nian was knocked back several steps.
"I didn’t expect Xu Nian to die just like that," Tong Han said with a face full of sorrow.
Luo Yanxia looked emotional.
Luckily, she hadn’t been walking with him just now.
Otherwise, she’d probably be the one dead now.
The Holy Daughter walking ahead looked at Xu Nian with a furrowed brow.
"Cough, cough!"
Xu Nian coughed a few times, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
The attack of the Iron Armor Worm just now came very suddenly, catching him off guard.
So, in that critical moment, he hurriedly activated his Dragon Energy to form an extremely hard Dragon Armor.
At the same time, he protected his chest with a piece of Top-grade Immortal Artifact, Heart Protecting Mirror.
Thus, when the Iron Armor Worm struck his chest, it did not injure his physical body.
Xu Nian’s physical body was already comparable to a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact, and after Dragon Transformation, it reached the peak of a Mid-grade Immortal Artifact.
With the protection of a Top-grade Immortal Artifact, Xu Nian withstood the Iron Armor Worm’s attack.
At this moment, the Iron Armor Worm was trapped by his True Essence.
"You’re okay?"
Luo Yanxia looked at Xu Nian in surprise.
"Do you wish I were dead?" Xu Nian asked with a cold smile.
"No, I didn’t mean that. I meant, how did you fend off the Iron Armor Worm’s attack?" Luo Yanxia hurried to explain.
Xu Nian, capable of slaying the Sword Immortal of Luoxian Realm and resisting the Iron Armor Worm’s attack, was definitely not someone she could afford to offend.
So, no matter how impolite Xu Nian was, she dared not harbor any resentment.
"Brother Xu, how did you fend off the Iron Armor Worm?" Tong Cheng also asked.
"I have a Top-grade Immortal Artifact to protect me, so I was able to fend off the Iron Armor Worm. However, the Iron Armor Worm’s impact was really strong, and even with a Top-grade Immortal Artifact, I was still shaken and injured," Xu Nian said.
After speaking, he brought out the Heart Protecting Mirror.
On the surface of the Heart Protecting Mirror, there was a dent.
This was caused by the Iron Armor Worm’s impact.
Seeing the Heart Protecting Mirror, the crowd suddenly understood.
It turned out to be a Top-grade Immortal Artifact.
"This Heart Protecting Mirror should be a purely defensive Immortal Artifact. I didn’t expect it to still get a dent after the Iron Armor Worm’s attack. This Iron Armor Worm seems more terrifying than we imagined," Li Tian said.
Besides the Holy Daughter and the elder, he was the only calm person present.
Though Tong Cheng and Tong Han were puzzled, Xu Nian knew that Li Tian had numerous treasures on him.
He’s the typical Duo Bao Taoist.
To kill him would be as hard as ascending to the heavens.
"Brother Xu, do you have another Top-grade Immortal Artifact? Could you lend me one, or I can buy it," Luo Yanxia hurriedly said with a smile.
At this moment, she was indeed a bit flustered.
Seeing the Top-grade Immortal Artifact could resist the Iron Armor Worm, she suddenly had the urge to obtain a Top-grade Immortal Artifact.
"I don’t have any," Xu Nian directly refused.
In reality, Xu Nian did have more Top-grade Immortal Artifacts in his possession.
He had obtained more than a dozen Top-grade Immortal Artifacts in the first layer of the Immortal Treasure, most of which were Immortal Swords, but there were also two or three defensive Top-grade Immortal Artifacts.
However, Xu Nian naturally wouldn’t bring them out; this Heart Protecting Mirror was the most ordinary one.
Even if he took it out, it wouldn’t be exposed.
But for the others, who could say?
"That’s really a pity," Luo Yanxia said disappointedly.
"Alright, let’s keep moving," the Holy Daughter said.
So, the group continued moving forward.
However, they didn’t walk far before they stopped.
Because a gigantic statue stood before them.
It was an enormously large human figure, holding a massive Stone Sword.
It exuded an immensely dignified aura, and the Stone Sword emitted a terrifying Sword Qi.
"It’s him!"
Li Tian exclaimed in surprise.
The Holy Daughter’s face also showed a different expression.
Xu Nian was a bit puzzled. Who exactly was this statue carved after?
Why did it cause such amazement in them?
"Brother Li, who is this person?" Xu Nian asked in confusion.
"Brother Xu, even you don’t know him?" It wasn’t Li Tian who spoke, but Tong Han.
At the same time, the others looked at Xu Nian in surprise.
Xu Nian shook his head, "To be honest, I ascended from the Lower Realm and am not really familiar with the Immortal Realm."
"Recently ascended?" Upon hearing this, everyone was incredibly surprised.
Just ascended and already this powerful?
This guy’s cultivation speed was terrifying.
However, upon hearing Xu Nian’s explanation, they understood why Xu Nian wasn’t aware.
"He was a very famous Sword Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm, incredibly powerful, named He Jun. However, he fell in love with the Demon Empress of the Demon Realm and ultimately met a very tragic end," Tong Cheng said.
"An Immortal Realm Sword Immortal Emperor fell in love with the Demon Realm Empress?" Xu Nian exclaimed in shock.
This was destined to be a love story full of hardships.
It seemed that, in the end, he still failed.
"What happened after that?" Xu Nian asked.
"What do you think? Naturally, he was hunted by countless powerful beings from the Immortal Realm, and he and the Demon Realm Empress died together in this war zone," Luo Yanxia said disdainfully.
Xu Nian furrowed his brow slightly.
It seemed this He Jun Immortal Emperor was a man of deep emotions and righteousness.
For the sake of his love, he valiantly fought against the Immortal Emperor of the Immortal Realm.
"He was from the Immortal Sovereign Hall and should be an ancestor of the Holy Daughter," Li Tian said.
He spoke while looking at the Holy Daughter.
There was no fluctuation in the Holy Daughter’s eyes.
"He was removed from the Immortal Sovereign Hall a long time ago and can’t be considered one of us. However, he was still an upright and unyielding person, albeit one who loved the wrong person," the Holy Daughter said.
Xu Nian nodded.
It seemed the Immortal Sovereign Hall’s Holy Daughter was also not devoid of emotions and righteousness.
But judging by her expression, it seemed she also had some untold stories.
Was it related to Xuanyuan Qingling?
Xu Nian suddenly had a strange suspicion.
"How odd. Who built his statue here, and for what purpose?" Li Tian said.
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Yes?
Who built this statue?
It’s been so many years since the Immortal-Demon War.
Could it have been built by his descendants?
"This statue is not simple; it seems to form a powerful killing intent all around. If I’m not mistaken, this should be a terrifying Killing Array," Xu Nian said.
"A Killing Array? Couldn’t be?" Luo Yanxia was shocked, retreating two steps.
"I also have this feeling. This statue is very dangerous," said the Holy Daughter.
She looked at the sculpture before her, becoming extremely vigilant.
Alongside, Luo Yanxia and the Tong brothers also became very tense.
