CHAPTER 1102: CHAPTER 1102: XU NIAN’S CONFIDENCE

As soon as Xu Nian arrived at the entrance of the boundary region, he was blocked by Chu Xiong and the others.

It turned out that Chu Xiong and the others had not left but were waiting for him at the exit of the boundary region.

"Brother Xu, I’ve already told the captain about your situation. The captain would like to rescue you too, but distance creates challenges, and it would take him at least a month to get here, so he’s also helpless," Chu Xiong said helplessly.

Xu Nian’s predicament happened too suddenly.

Even if the Blue Gold Army wanted to rescue him, it would be too late.

"But don’t worry, Senior Brother Lu Feng and I intend to stay with you until the end," Chu Xiong patted Xu Nian on the shoulder and continued.

Xu Nian smiled slightly, warmth spreading in his heart.

It was enough for him that Chu Xiong waited here to deliver the news personally.

As for whether they would take action, Xu Nian did not mind, for those who wanted to kill him were at Earth Immortal Peak.

Even if Chu Xiong and Lu Feng joined forces, they might not be able to assist him.

"What’s the situation outside?" Xu Nian asked.

"An elder of the Chaos Sky Sect is currently guarding the exit. He possesses great strength, having reached Earth Immortal Peak, and it’s said his Profound Argumentation has reached the fourth level. In addition to him, there are two Middle Stage Earth Immortal disciples and three Early Stage Earth Immortal disciples," Chu Xiong replied.

Xu Nian nodded.

The situation was more or less what he had imagined.

As far as the disciples were concerned, they posed no threat to him; the only worry was that Earth Immortal Peak level elder.

Without wielding the Star Axe, that Earth Immortal Peak powerhouse could easily kill him.

After all, the realm difference was too significant.

"And what about the Haotian Sect?" Xu Nian continued to inquire.

"The Haotian Sect hasn’t shown up proactively, but if you go out, I’m sure they won’t let you off either, especially since Lin Hao is there, and their elder is also an Earth Immortal Peak powerhouse," Lu Feng replied.

Xu Nian’s eyebrows furrowed; two Earth Immortal Peaks.

The situation was indeed more severe than he initially thought.

As for the Reincarnation Sect and the Tiancang Sect, perhaps the Reincarnation Sect wouldn’t intervene, but the Tiancang Sect may very well seize the opportunity.

If that happened, Xu Nian faced not two but potentially three Earth Immortal Peaks.

"I didn’t expect that a small Tribulation Crossing cultivator like me would attract so many from the Earth Immortal Realm to hunt me down. They really hold me in high regard," Xu Nian chuckled coldly.

A strong killing intent surged in his eyes.

He already had deep-seated grudges with the Four Great Sects, and while he wasn’t actively seeking them out, they had come for him.

In that case, they needed to know that Xu Nian wasn’t someone to be easily trifled with.

"Xu Nian, don’t rush out now, hide in the boundary region for a month, and then you won’t need to fear those guys once the captain arrives," Chu Xiong advised him.

However, Xu Nian shook his head.

Those old folks wouldn’t wait that long.

If things dragged out, they would invade the boundary region.

They might even remove the Immortal Sword and seal him within the boundary region.

That would be a real disaster for Xu Nian; with his strength, he couldn’t break the barrier of this Small World.

Therefore, he had to go out.

Realizing this, Chu Xiong’s eyebrows also tightened.

"Then we’ll go out and fight them!" Lu Feng said angrily.

"Yes, fight them! We in the Blue Gold Army are not to be trifled with," Chu Xiong added passionately.

His eyes were full of rage.

But Xu Nian laughed: "Thank you, brothers, but this matter doesn’t concern you, no need for you to take action, I can handle it myself."

"Handle it yourself? But they have two Earth Immortal Peaks and several from the Earth Immortal Realm, how will you manage?" Chu Xiong queried with a furrowed brow.

He felt that Xu Nian was courting death to avoid implicating them.

But as members of the Blue Gold Army, how could they abandon a brother?

"Right, Xu Nian, if you just die here, we would lose face in the Blue Gold Army. We should face it together," Lu Feng said loyally.

Evidently displeased with Xu Nian’s words.

The smile on Xu Nian’s face grew wider as he looked at the somewhat angry Chu Xiong and Lu Feng and said, "Rest assured, brothers, it’s not me who will die today, but them. If anyone dares to block me today, I’ll kill them."

This statement left Chu Xiong and Lu Feng dumbfounded.

Had they misheard?

Xu Nian actually made such a domineering declaration, when facing two or three Earth Immortal Peak powerhouses.

What confidence did he have to confront them?

Noticing their disbelief, Xu Nian didn’t offer further explanation but simply smiled and said, "Just watch from the sidelines, brothers, if anything happens to me, it won’t be too late for you to get involved then."

Chu Xiong and Lu Feng were skeptical, unsure of what confidence Xu Nian had in facing two Earth Immortal Peaks.

Yet recalling that Xu Nian had recently slain a True Dragon, they decided against saying more.

What if Xu Nian could indeed succeed?

After all, this guy was known for performing miracles.

Still, they couldn’t figure out how someone not yet of the Earth Immortal Realm could contend against two Earth Immortal Peaks.

"Let’s go!"

Xu Nian waved, heading straight towards the exit.

Chu Xiong and Lu Feng followed without further words.

As Xu Nian exited the boundary region, he encountered Murong Xue and Feng Cheng approaching.

Seeing Xu Nian, they were about to speak but were stopped by him.

"I know what you want to say, just watch by the side, rest assured, the one who can kill me hasn’t been born yet," Xu Nian said with a smile.

Murong Xue and Feng Cheng were taken aback, not expecting such words from Xu Nian.

They then looked at Chu Xiong and Lu Feng.

Both shook their heads, indicating they didn’t know anything.

Yet they chose to trust Xu Nian.

Even though they felt Xu Nian had no chance.

"Be careful!" Murong Xue said worriedly.

Xu Nian nodded, then proceeded ahead.

By this time, Chaos Sky Sect and Haotian Sect members had encircled them.

In the distance were spectators from the Tiancang Sect and the Reincarnation Sect, as well as several unidentified powerful factions.

Xu Nian scanned the crowd and finally settled his gaze on the Reincarnation Sect members ahead.

Especially that elder, Xu Nian glanced over, indeed an Earth Immortal Realm Peak Level powerhouse.

The strength was impressive!

The Chaos Sky Sect members’ eyes looking at Xu Nian turned mocking and mocking.

Clearly, they all knew that this young man was the target of their encirclement today.

No one expected this young man to actually dare to come out and face death.

"Boy, are you Xu Nian? Didn’t expect you to dare to step out, I thought you would continue being a turtle hiding in its shell," a disciple of the Chaos Sky Sect mocked.

This garnered laughter from the surrounding crowd.

They looked at Xu Nian as if he were already dead.

Seeing this, Xu Nian’s lips curled into a light smile, his eyes turning playful.
