Chapter 1220: Chapter 1220: Xuanwu Makes a Move
The intense pain made Xu Nian’s scalp tingle.
This punch was terrifyingly powerful; if it weren’t for his Divine Demon Refining Body and having a formidable physique.
He might have already collapsed into a pile of flesh.
Everyone around was also shocked.
This Luangu’s power is too frightening; he’s simply like a demon king.
His fists seemed capable of shattering everything in the world.
"Didn’t die, it seems your Divine Demon Refining Body is still somewhat useful, kid. Are you going to hand it over or not?" Luangu said arrogantly, his gaze wicked.
The energy on his body was as if a giant mountain suspended in the air, ready to crush Xu Nian at any moment.
A solemn expression appeared in Xu Nian’s eyes as the blood hole on his chest started to heal again, internal Gang Qi roaring like a giant dragon.
Under the Eighth Level Profound Argumentation, he was no match for Luangu.
It seems he can only find a way to escape into the Soil City.
Xu Nian thought of taking the opportunity to use Instant Teleportation to escape into Soil City.
Due to the inhibitors in Soil City, it’s impossible to teleport inside.
He could only teleport to the entrance of the inhibitors, then slip in.
But this would give Luangu time to react, and he might get intercepted.
He has to seize the opportunity.
"Since you’re not going to hand it over, I really have to search your memory." Luangu rushed at Xu Nian again.
"It’s now!"
Xu Nian immediately executed Instant Teleportation, appearing at Soil City’s entrance.
"Haha, you think I don’t know your intentions, courting death!" Luangu snorted coldly.
He punched the ground.
The earth instantly shattered, and a giant mountain rose at the entrance, directly blocking Xu Nian’s path.
Xu Nian paused briefly, ready to break open the sect gate.
However, Luangu was already rapidly attacking from behind.
Xu Nian felt his scalp tingling, Luangu’s approach was too strong, and his fist formation was extremely fierce.
"This Shooting Star is done for!"
The people inside the city tower witnessed this scene and all sighed.
Xu Nian also felt an immense pressure approaching, ready to ignite his Divine Demon Cells for a life-or-death battle.
"Buzz!"
However, at that moment, an earthy aura directly surged around Xu Nian, instantly enveloping him, forming an incredibly hard tortoise shell of earth-yellow color.
"Boom!"
A thunderous explosion.
Luangu’s fist struck the hard tortoise shell, causing it to shake violently.
Yet the tortoise shell only trembled, but did not shatter.
"Xuanwu, if I’m taking action, why are you interfering?" Luangu roared, shouting towards the city gate direction.
Xu Nian was astonished, this tortoise shell resembled his Earth Pulse Defense.
But the level of profound argumentation was far higher than his; it had at least reached the Eighth Level Realm of Profound Argumentation.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to resist a punch from Luangu!
"Hahaha, Luangu, an old undying bully a child less than a hundred years old, aren’t you even a bit ashamed?"
At this moment, a hearty laugh sounded.
The next moment, the giant mountain blocking the city gate exploded directly.
A towering old man walked out of the city.
"Xuanwu? That’s Xuanwu?" Someone on the city tower exclaimed.
"Who is Xuanwu?" Someone was puzzled.
"You don’t even know Xuanwu? Must be new here. Xuanwu has always occupied the twelfth place on the leaderboard, but later as his cultivation progressed, his points kept decreasing. Despite that, he’s still in the forties on the leaderboard." Someone explained.
Hearing this, others looked astonished.
Xu Nian was also surprised, he didn’t expect Xuanwu would come to his aid.
Wind Snow had mentioned earlier that after coming to Soil City, he should look for someone like Xuanwu, who might help with his Earth Guardian.
Now it seems the Xuanwu Wind Snow referred to should be this person.
"Greetings, senior!" Xu Nian hurriedly saluted.
"Kid, not bad, I watched your fight earlier, practicing three types of profound argumentation simultaneously and cultivating to this level, truly a remarkable talent. No wonder Wind Snow praises you so much." Xuanwu said approvingly.
"Senior flatters me." Xu Nian said humbly.
It seems really due to Wind Snow that Xuanwu intervened.
"Don’t worry, kid, with me here, Luangu can’t harm you." Xuanwu reassured.
Xu Nian also smiled. This way, he wouldn’t have to fight desperately.
Otherwise, burning Divine Demon Cells would be extremely damaging to him.
"Old turtle, do you really want to meddle?" Luangu’s eyes were sharp, filled with strong anger.
"Yes, I’m keeping this Shooting Star safe. Your fists might be powerful, but my defense isn’t weak. If you want to kill me, it’s impossible. I advise you to give up." Xuanwu chuckled lightly.
Luangu, hearing this, felt an indescribable frustration, his face was gloomy, and eyes went cold.
What Xuanwu said was true; he really couldn’t do anything to Xuanwu.
Both were on the Eighth Level of profound argumentation, both understood the Power of Earth.
However, one focused on strength, the other defense.
Two opposing forces were evenly matched; neither could overwhelm the other.
"Fine, today I’ll spare him for your sake. But next time, if I run into him again, I won’t let him go. I don’t believe, old turtle, you can always be by his side." Luangu said.
He snorted coldly and swiftly left.
When Luangu left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Luangu’s momentum was too strong, and his strength too domineering.
In the entire Slaughter World, they belonged to the top-tier existence.
Seeing Luangu leave, Xu Nian also relaxed slightly.
Luangu was intimidating; even though he was angry, he was not his opponent.
In the future, when his power grows, he’ll definitely slay this guy.
"Kid, feeling unsatisfied? Then cultivate well. Once your strength surpasses Luangu’s, see if he dares to bully you again." Xuanwu recognized Xu Nian’s thoughts, and said with a cold smile.
"Senior is right. I will strive to cultivate, and next time, when I see him, I’ll crush him." Xu Nian said smilingly.
"Haha, that’s the spirit!" Xuanwu laughed heartily, finding Xu Nian’s temperament to his taste.
"Senior, what you previously demonstrated was also Pulse Power from the Power of Earth, right?" Xu Nian suddenly thought to ask.
"That’s right. I used Pulse Defense from the Power of Earth, and it has reached the Eighth Level. Your previous Pulse Defense exhibiting Nine-Leveled Pulse is a mark of Fifth-level argumentation." Xuanwu explained.
Xu Nian nodded; this Xuanwu indeed seems to have reached the Eighth Level of Pulse Defense.
"Come, I’ll take you to meet someone." Xuanwu said.
"Meet someone?" Xu Nian was a bit surprised.
"You’ll know once you go." Xuanwu smiled mysteriously.
Then he turned to walk into Soil City.
Xu Nian was full of doubt but still followed.
