Chapter 773: Boldly Taking Action
The Iron Blood Demon Spider was dead.
All around, people heaved sighs of relief.
With the death of the Iron Blood Demon Spider, the weight bearing down on their hearts was also resolved.
However, the Feng Family Patriarch showed not the slightest bit of relaxation.
He turned to Xu Nian and said, "My lord, now that the Iron Blood Demon Spider has been dealt with, could you please cure my son of his poison?"
"Sure, bring your young master out," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Feng Tianshan was overjoyed.
He hurriedly ordered someone to carry Feng Yan over.
However, Hong Xiang and Bu Keng, who stood behind Xu Nian, became tense.
"Do you really intend to cure Feng Yan of his poison?" Hong Xiang asked quietly.
Xu Nian simply smiled slightly and replied, "They helped us deal with the Iron Blood Demon Spider, we should give them a chance to turn over a new leaf."
Hong Xiang's brow furrowed, just as she was about to speak,
Xu Nian stopped her.
A look of astonishment crossed Hong Xiang's face.
Could it be that Xu Nian truly believed Feng Yan would reform?
How could someone with such bad conduct possibly repent so easily?
But there was no time for Hong Xiang to ponder further, as Feng Yan had already been carried over.
At this moment, Feng Yan was deeply poisoned, barely clinging to life.
Seeing Xu Nian, he struggled to raise his head as if he wanted to say something.
"Don't move, I will cure you of the poison, but you must promise me that you'll never again do such harmful and immoral acts," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Feng Yan nodded eagerly, his eyes showing delight.
Seeing this, Xu Nian wasted no more time and immediately stimulated his True Essence,
delivering a palm strike to Feng Yan's chest.
"Puh!"
Feng Yan immediately spat out a mouthful of poisoned blood,
and his complexion improved considerably.
In fact, regarding the poison, Wentian Demon Sovereign had taught him that
there was no antidote, and that it could only be driven out using specific techniques.
So, while difficult for others, the poison was easy for Xu Nian to deal with.
"Eh, it's really cured, my poison is gone!" Feng Yan suddenly got up from the ground, excitedly saying.
In that moment, he felt significantly lighter,
and the power suppressed by the poison had fully recovered.
Feng Tianshan, standing to the side, saw Feng Yan bouncing around lively again, and joy showed on his face.
The stone weighing on his heart had finally fallen.
"How about it, Feng Family Patriarch, I've cured your son's poison, you should keep to our prior agreement and hand over the Ancient Spiritual Field to me," Xu Nian said with a smile to Feng Tianshan.
However, before Feng Tianshan had a chance to speak,
Feng Yan suddenly burst out in anger, "Hmph, you poisoned me, and this account hasn't been settled. And yet you dare to ask for the spiritual field, hmph, you're asking for death!"
Then, he turned his head to Feng Tianshan and said, "Father, we cannot let him go. He poisoned me, and even if he cured me, it does not count as returning kindness for enmity; this is what he owes us."
Feng Tianshan, upon hearing this, seemed to be somewhat moved.
After pondering for a moment,
he looked up at Xu Nian and said, "Young man, you were the first to poison my son, and now you've cured him. We can consider the grudge as nonexistent, but we absolutely will not hand over the spiritual field to you. We, the Feng Family, discovered this field first, and the Medicine King has already made sacrifices. Moreover, it was I who personally killed the Iron Blood Demon Spider, so this spiritual field should rightfully belong to our Feng Family."
Bu Keng and Hong Xiang standing behind Xu Nian were enraged.
Burning bridges after crossing the river, just as expected.
They just couldn't understand how someone as cunning as a fox like Xu Nian could suddenly become so foolish.
Xu Nian, however, seemed unconcerned, a light smile on his face.
Everything was going as he had envisioned.
"Alas, I had originally planned to spare your Feng Family, but to think that you lack even a shred of intent to repent. Since that is the case, your Feng Family might as well cease to exist in this world," Xu Nian sighed.
"Hmph, arrogant talk! Last time I was careless and was injured by your Demon Art, I do not believe you can hurt me again this time," Feng Yan shouted loudly.
Then, a fierce and scorching flame surged from his body.
And with the surge of flames, the temperature around rose to a terrifying level.
The crimson flames tightly enveloped Feng Yan.
Everything that came close to him would be incinerated to ashes.
Xu Nian smiled faintly.
Feng Yan had been poisoned once, and had been slapped before.
Thus, he had learned his lesson and wrapped his entire body in flames.
In this way, Xu Nian couldn't get close to him, and it would be difficult for any poison to penetrate that fiery defense.
However, for Xu Nian, using poison was just a minor trick.
If he truly wanted to kill Feng Yan, he had a thousand methods at his disposal.
"Die! Fiery Sun Fist!" Feng Yan bellowed as flames surged over his fist.
The entire fist seemed to be a burning sun, fiercely striking towards Xu Nian.
Such a punch would likely be unbearable even for an ordinary Zifu Peak powerhouse.
However, seeing this, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Xu Nian's mouth.
"Buzz!"
With a single thought, the Immortal Sword appeared in his hand.
Not only that, but a powerful aura of killing intent suddenly emanated from Xu Nian.
The Divine Wheel Talent Phenomenon appeared directly behind him.
"Puchi!"
Without another word, Xu Nian slashed forth with his sword.
Then, the surrounding crowd saw Feng Yan's body cleaved in two.
"This..." The people around all showed shocked expressions!
One sword?
The Zifu Early-stage powerhouse actually split the Zifu Peak Level Feng Yan in half with a single sword strike?
Feng Yan himself could hardly believe his eyes.
That sword strike had come far too quickly.
How could a Zifu Early-stage youngster possibly unleash such a terrifying attack?
However, Xu Nian now spread his hands, revealing a feeling of exhilaration.
In killing Feng Yan, he had directly employed the Three Thousand God-Slaying Technique.
Now that he had killed Feng Yan, his aura of killing intent grew stronger, and the True Essence in his body also enhanced.
"Yan'er!"
Feng Tianshan's eyes widened as he looked at the two halves of Feng Yan's body, his face showing an extremely pained and ferocious expression.
"I said you would regret it," Xu Nian said with a faint smile.
"I will kill you!" Feng Yan roared in response.
Then, the Harmonization Peak Level Cultivation suddenly erupted, and he thrust out with his Long Spear, directly aiming to kill Xu Nian.
With such speed, Xu Nian simply couldn't dodge.
Yet Xu Nian remained indifferent.
"Boom!"
However, just as the Feng Family guards around thought that this young man was about to be blasted to death,
a figure appeared like a specter in front of Xu Nian.
He directly struck Feng Tianshan's chest with a palm.
"Puh!"
Feng Tianshan's chest burst open instantly, spewing out blood incessantly.
The crowd around stood stupefied.
Feng Tianshan also stared at the middle-aged man who had suddenly appeared, his eyes revealing a shocked expression.
"Peak of Heavenly Phenomenon? Who... who exactly are you?" Feng Tianshan exclaimed with bulging eyes.
"We come from the Heavenly Court," Xu Nian responded with a light smile.
"Heavenly Court? What power is that?" Feng Tianshan was puzzled.
Xu Nian merely smiled slightly, looking up at the sky, and then uttered a sentence that left Feng Tianshan shocked.
"One day, I will make the entire Cultivation World remember the name of the Heavenly Court, and tremble upon hearing it!"
