Divine King of Honour-Chapter 1454: Self-Defeating Cleverness

Chapter 1454: Chapter 1454: Self-Defeating Cleverness
Although with Xu Nian’s current strength, it’s hard for any powerhouse below the Immortal Sovereign level to harm him in the slightest.
However, his apparent Cultivation is only at the Golden Immortal Peak Level.
That woman led these powerhouses towards them, clearly with ill intentions.
Even with Gongsun Ling present.
Among these powerhouses, there were even some at the Late Stage Immortal King or even Immortal King Peak Level.
Xu Nian instantly felt a sense of disgust towards the woman.
"Please, save me, I am the Direct Disciple of the Yaochi Snow Immortal Sovereign, these people want to steal my belongings." The woman immediately said.
While speaking, she intentionally cast flirtatious glances at Xu Nian and Gongsun Qing, putting on a seductive expression.
Clearly, this woman intended to use a beauty trap to lure Xu Nian and Gongsun Qing into her scheme.
However, Xu Nian disdainfully ignored such tactics.
On the other hand, Gongsun Qing seemed a bit hesitant.
Indeed, this woman’s appearance was quite alluring, the very definition of a naturally enchanting beauty.
"We can’t save you, you’d better ask someone else." Xu Nian mercilessly refused.
They were strangers to each other, and the woman tried to exploit them like this; it was already generous of him not to kill her.
How could he possibly act to save her?
The woman froze, clearly not expecting Xu Nian to refuse so directly.
She then turned her attention to Gongsun Qing.
"Young master, I’m really at my wits’ end, please, save me, if they catch me, they’ll make my life worse than death." The woman pleaded pitifully, looking at Gongsun Qing.
Gongsun Qing immediately looked toward Gongsun Ling: "Grandpa Ling, should we help save her?"
"Listen to Xu Nian, we should avoid getting into trouble right now." Gongsun Ling refused.
The woman was dumbfounded by this.
Was that young man named Xu Nian their leader?
And not this Immortal King?
But when she looked at Xu Nian, she found him staring at her coldly.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Just as she was preparing to leave, a dozen powerhouses swooped in.
They surrounded Xu Nian and his group entirely.
These individuals sized up Xu Nian and the others, pausing briefly on Gongsun Ling before fixing their gaze on the woman.
"Yann Yu, hand over the Divine Weapon Talisman." The leading Immortal King Peak powerhouse demanded.
"Divine Weapon Talisman?"
Xu Nian looked at the woman called Yann Yu in surprise.
The woman furrowed her brow.
Then she turned to Xu Nian and asked, "Xu Nian, should we just hand over the Divine Weapon Talisman?"
With these words, a dozen powerhouses in the sky immediately directed sharp gazes at Xu Nian.
A surge of Killing Intent emerged in Xu Nian’s eyes.
What a clever ploy to kill with a borrowed knife!
This woman was deliberately trying to make these people think she and Xu Nian were in cahoots.
And that the Divine Weapon Talisman had already been given to him.
"The Divine Weapon Talisman is not with me, I don’t know her," Xu Nian told the Immortal King Peak powerhouse in the sky.
"Hmph, whether you know her or not is not up to you. Even if you don’t know her, you can’t escape. Knowing the whereabouts of the Divine Weapon Talisman, you must die." The Immortal King Peak powerhouse sneered.
Upon hearing this, the woman’s lips curled into a cold smile.
"Didn’t you refuse to help me? Now you probably have no choice but to step in, right? Go ahead and fight, so I can seize the chance to escape." The woman coldly chuckled to herself.
Though she didn’t think Xu Nian and the others could hold these people off for long.
Even just a moment’s distraction would give her a chance to escape.
As for the lives of Xu Nian and the others, what did that matter to her?
"I said I don’t know her, and I won’t mention a word about the Divine Weapon Talisman." Xu Nian said coldly.
"Hmph, dead men don’t speak." The Immortal King sneered.
Xu Nian knew then that there was no room for negotiation.
"I originally didn’t want to kill, was willing to spare your lives, but since you are unwilling, don’t blame me." A murderous intent stirred in Xu Nian’s eyes.
"Three Golden Immortals, one Mid-stage Immortal King, you think you can kill us?" The Immortal King Peak said with a disdainful sneer.
The other Golden Immortals and Immortal Kings joined in the mocking.
Xu Nian looked up at the Immortal King.
"Buzz!"
With a thought, a sharp sword suddenly materialized out of thin air.
This sword emanated powerful fluctuations of a Law Domain.
"Not good, Law Manifestation Great Perfection? How is this possible?"
The Immortal King Peak powerhouse’s face changed dramatically at the sight of the Law Sword.
The Golden Immortals and Immortal Kings were also horrified.
A Golden Immortal Peak, reaching Law Perfection?
Of course, the most shocked was the woman named Yann Yu.
Middle Stage of Law Perfection?
She finally understood why this young man was the core of the four of them.
"Die!"
Xu Nian uttered softly.
The sword in his hand swung out.
A flash of light flickered and disappeared in the sky.
"No!"
The dozen powerhouses, including the Immortal King Peak, all died on the spot.
"This!"
Yann Yu’s eyes were wide open, staring at the falling bodies from the sky.
She suddenly regretted her decision deeply.
What kind of existence had she provoked?
Suddenly, Yann Yu was startled, a chill running down her spine.
For she found Xu Nian had already turned to look at her.
That indifferent gaze was like that of a Death God’s stare, sending shivers through her.
Gongsun Ling looked at the woman and shook his head silently.
Such a narrow perspective!
Gongsun Qing seemed to want to say something but didn’t know what.
Gongsun Wan’er looked on with disdain.
Even she could see the woman’s ill intentions, using them.
"I... I’m sorry, I really didn’t mean to, if you spare me, I’ll give you the Divine Weapon Talisman, or let me do whatever you want, just..."
The woman hurriedly pleaded for mercy.
"Pfft!"
But before she could finish speaking.
Xu Nian’s sword swung down directly.
The woman’s eyes widened instantly, filled with an extreme look of discontent.
She never imagined that her little ruse would become her death warrant.
Xu Nian looked at the fallen woman, reaching out to absorb her storage ring into his hand.
In the next moment, a dagger appeared in his hand.
The dagger exuded a very strong aura.
Clearly, this dagger was a Divine Artifact.
"Is this the Divine Weapon Talisman? How is it a dagger?" Gongsun Wan’er asked curiously.
"The so-called Divine Weapon Talisman should be a kind of Talisman Sword, and the lines on this dagger should be a kind of Divine Talisman." Gongsun Ling said.
"Yes, it is indeed a Divine Talisman, but it’s not the offensive or enhancing type of Divine Talisman." Xu Nian scrutinized the Divine Weapon Talisman in his hand.
Although this dagger was a Divine Artifact, its intrinsic value was likely less than the preciousness of the Divine Talisman inscribed on it.
But what exactly this Divine Talisman was, he did not know.
I’m afraid only asking the Yetian God Emperor could reveal the role of this Divine Talisman.
"We should leave here first. I feel a powerful presence approaching." Xu Nian said.
Gongsun Ling and the others immediately nodded repeatedly.
Then the four transformed into streams of light and departed.
Shortly after Xu Nian and the others left, a figure arrived in an instant.
The aura from this figure was extremely powerful, definitely an Immortal Sovereign Level powerhouse.
