As Xu Nian's voice rang out, everyone around turned their eyes toward him.
Since Xu Nian was in disguise, no one recognized his identity, including Chen Xifeng, who all wore looks of surprise.
"Who is this man? He dares to provoke Li Jian, doesn't he know Li Jian's status in the Battle Mansion?"
"Yes, he even called Li Jian useless. Li Jian is a mber of the Heavenly Dragon Team, which ranks twentieth among the twenty-four teams. Their captain is a Battle General Level expert. Provoking the Heavenly Dragon Team is asking for major trouble."
…
The crowd muttered among themselves, looking at Xu Nian as if he were an idiot.
Wasn't he seeking death by provoking Li Jian himself?
Li Jian also glared at Xu Nian in anger.
After sizing up Xu Nian, he wore a look of disdain.
Xu Nian's attire clearly marked him as a Loose Cultivator, young and probably in his twenties. Such Loose Cultivators generally didn't have high cultivation, perhaps just so ignorant youth from a remote village.
"Kid, who are you? Who did you just call useless? Are you tired of living?" Li Jian threatened.
At these words, Xu Nian responded with a cold laugh.
Indeed, the clothes he wore were given to him by the villagers of Mushi Village before he left, so Li Jian must have mistaken him for a simple villager.
But this was good too, it was the perfect opportunity to put Li Jian in his place.
"Who am I? I'd hate to scare you to death. Let tell you, I am the top expert in our village. Our village chief praises as a once-in-a-century talent, saying that I will beco a great person in the future," Xu Nian declared haughtily.
"Hahaha, your village's top expert? A once-in-a-century talent? That's hilarious," Li Jian laughed heartily.
The bystanders burst into laughter as well, looking at Xu Nian with mocking eyes.
Chen Xifeng felt a wave of disappointnt.
He had held a slight hope, thinking that perhaps this robust young man wasn't as incapable as he seed, maybe hiding his true capability.
But after hearing Xu Nian's words, any hope he had quickly vanished.
Was this guy a fool?
The top expert of their village?
This was the county city, claiming to be a rare genius.
This was completely delusional!
"Brother, you should leave, this is not your business; you can't handle this person," Chen Xifeng hurriedly advised Xu Nian.
He feared Xu Nian might get embroiled in trouble.
"How is it not my business? He insulted Xu Nian; of course, I must intervene," Xu Nian stubbornly said.
"Huh, what relationship do you have with Xu Nian? Do you know him?" Chen Xifeng asked, puzzled.
Everyone around also turned their gaze toward the robust man Xu Nian was pretending to be, surprised.
Could this robust man actually know Xu Nian?
"Of course, I know him. I heard his story in the teahouse; now he is my hero. All this Mo Lang Team and Heavenly Dragon Team is nonsense. If Xu Nian were here, he would annihilate them without hesitation," Xu Nian boldly claid.
The crowd was rendered speechless.
Damn it, he really was a fool.
They had thought this robust man knew Xu Nian personally, but it turned out he was just an admirer.
"Haha, you think Xu Nian could defeat our Heavenly Dragon Team? Forget our captain, even if Xu Nian stood right in front of , I could make him beg for rcy. Kid, you might want to change who you worship. Xu Nian is now being hunted by the Ding Family, he doesn't even dare to return to the county city. Do you still think he is a hero?" Li Jian laughed out loud.
The crowd around also nodded in agreent.
There had been a worship craze for Xu Nian in the city a while ago.
But recently there had been rumors that Xu Nian, due to being chased by the Ding Family, dared not return to the county town, so the worship craze for Xu Nian had also been declining these past few days.
"Hmph, the Ding Family chasing, do you think the Ding Family can do anything to Xu Nian? Stop spouting nonsense, kneel down imdiately and say three tis 'I was wrong, Mr. Xu Nian,' or else today I will beat you until you beg for rcy." Xu Nian said with a look of disdain.
Chen Xifeng was really getting anxious.
He didn't expect this fellow to worship Xu Nian to such an extent.
But the next part for this fellow was going to be miserable.
However, he was no match for Li Jian, and could only feel pity for him in his heart.
"Arrogant ignorant boy, since you don't know life from death, don't bla ." Indeed, Li Jian was truly angered, and his Nine-star Martial Sect Peak aura burst forth instantly.
With a hiss, he swung his fist hard at Xu Nian.
The fist carried terrifying spiritual energy, domineering and ferocious.
Xu Nian stood there unresponsively, as if he hadn't reacted at all.
The crowd around all sighed with pity, thinking this fool was really dood today.
"Haha, scared silly." Li Jian laughed heartily, his face showing even more smugness as his swinging fist grew fiercer.
Yet, just as everyone thought Xu Nian was about to be defeated, a shocking scene occurred.
Xu Nian's lips curled into a cold smirk, and he stretched out a hand lightning fast, grabbing Li Jian's fist in an instant.
"Boom!"
Li Jian's fist crashed into Xu Nian's palm, making a booming sound, yet it didn't shake Xu Nian in the slightest.
"How… how is this possible?" Li Jian and the others' eyes widened, their faces displaying disbelief.
Everyone including Chen Xifeng was stunned, for Li Jian was a Nine-star Peak Martial Sect practitioner.
One punch could kill an Eight-star Martial Sect practitioner, yet this muscular young man had blocked it with one hand.
What kind of strength did this person have?
Li Jian also quickly realized he had kicked an iron plate, but when he tried to withdraw his fist, he found it was stuck as if welded into rock and he couldn't pull it out.
"I've already said I am the top fighter in our village, and you still didn't believe , so I'll have to let you witness my strength," Xu Nian said with a cold laugh, as a formidable aura suddenly burst forth from within him, instantly sweeping the area and making everyone tremble.
Nine-star Martial Sect!
This muscular young man was actually a Nine-star Martial Sect!
Li Jian was also surprised, not expecting the fellow in front of him to be a Nine-star Martial Sect, and it seed he was not an ordinary Nine-star Martial Sect.
"No… impossible, how can a Nine-star Martial Sect have such incredible strength?" Li Jian said, his face filled with disbelief.
The crowd around was also curious; a Nine-star Martial Sect defeating a Nine-star Peak Martial Sect?
That clearly didn't make sense!
Xu Nian just scoffed, his palm suddenly exerting force.
"Crack!"
Li Jian's arm bone was directly twisted and broke, making him scream out in imnse pain.
At the sa ti, Xu Nian's mocking voice reached Li Jian's ears.
"Didn't I just say? It's because you are a loser!"
Xu Nian's words were bold and commanding, causing everyone present to shiver.
