Divine King of Honour

"Ha ha, Xu Nian, didn't expect you to flee desperately to Life-breaking Cliff, did you? It seems the heavens want to end you."

On the edge of Life-breaking Cliff, Lin Han looked at Xu Nian standing at the cliff's edge, burst into laughter, his eyes filled with both amusement and mockery.

The audience before the Xuantian Mirror also gasped in shock, lamenting Xu Nian's bad luck for ending up by the edge of Life-breaking Cliff.

Now with no way out, he probably could only resort to crushing the Golden Crow Token.

Sitting in the main seat, Leng Yanran also frowned tightly, her gaze ice cold.

Life-breaking Cliff was the only deadly place in Jade Cave Heaven, and not a single Academy student who entered there had ever come out alive.

Most crucially, they didn't know what was at the bottom of Life-breaking Cliff, because it was the only place the Xuantian Mirror couldn't probe.

Seeing Xu Nian end up by Life-breaking Cliff now, she too felt a surge of disappointment.

But she knew it wasn't Xu Nian's fault; it was just his terribly bad luck.

However, at this moment, Xu Nian, hearing Lin Han's words by Life-breaking Cliff's edge, actually chuckled.

Fleeing desperately?

Was it really so?

With Emperor Ye Tian around, how could Xu Nian possibly fail to find the best escape route?

If it wasn't for Emperor Ye Tian directing him to Life-breaking Cliff, Lin Han wouldn't have been able to catch him even if he chased him for ten days and nights.

"Kid, have you thought it through? What lies beneath is truly a matter of life and death. If you jump, I can't guarantee you'll survive, but if you do, you'll be no weaker than Dugu Jingcheng," the voice of Emperor Ye Tian echoed in Xu Nian's mind.

"Jump, why wouldn't I jump? If it can give me a chance to surpass Dugu Jingcheng, I'll risk my life to try," Xu Nian responded mentally.

From the battle with Lin Han just now, he had already thought it through clearly. If he just continued to follow the typical path of treasure hunting in Jade Cave Heaven, unless by a miracle, he might barely surpass Lin Han but surpassing Dugu Jingcheng would be unlikely.

Unable to defeat Dugu Jingcheng, obtaining the Golden Crow Fruit would be incredibly difficult. Instead, it was better to take the risk.

Emperor Ye Tian did not speak further, obviously agreeing with Xu Nian's thoughts.

The path of cultivation was inherently a defiance of the heavens; without the resolve to risk one's life, one eventually couldn't achieve the Great Tao, so she didn't interfere with Xu Nian's thinking and even began to admire him.

"However, before jumping down, I should do something to avoid giving the impression that I jumped because I was cornered like a homeless dog with no escape," Xu Nian said to Emperor Ye Tian in his mind.

"Ha ha, brave and wise, worthy of someone I would choose. Alright, since you put it that way, I'll lend you a hand. In a moment when you confront that guy Lin Han with punches, I'll secretly intervene, and the outcome won't disappoint you," the hearty laughter of Emperor Ye Tian resounded in Xu Nian's mind.

Xu Nian, hearing this, was overjoyed.

With Emperor Ye Tian willing to take action, things would be much easier.

He didn't ask Emperor Ye Tian what she planned to do, but he trusted that she wouldn't let him down.

"Hmph, facing death, and you still dare to laugh! Xu Nian, if you kneel down and beg me now, maybe I'd soften my heart and let you go. Otherwise, you can only crush your Golden Crow Token and wait to be eliminated!" Lin Han, seeing Xu Nian laugh at this time, coldly scoffed.

Xu Nian, hearing this and far from restraining his smile, looked at Lin Han and retorted coldly, "Kneel and beg you? When your mother knelt and begged me back then, only because I softened my heart, do you now exist as such an unfilial son."

"What?" Lin Han was taken aback and couldn't make sense of it quickly.

What did this have to do with his mother?

However, the plaza outside at that moment erupted in a burst of uproar.

Nima, this is a sheer intellectual overwhelm!

At the same time, everyone admired Xu Nian's audacity for daring to insult Lin Han like that, and even dragging Lin Han's mother into the insults—did he not know who Lin Han's mother was?

Lin Han now finally grasped what Xu Nian had meant, his eyes turning bloodshot as he glared at Xu Nian.

"I will kill you!" Lin Han roared, and then he mobilized all the Gang Qi in his body, blasting it toward Xu Nian.

Seeing this, the crowd on-site felt their hearts jump to their throats—it was right at the edge of Life-breaking Cliff after all; a fall could be fatal.

However, facing this, Xu Nian remained completely calm. Focusing his gaze, he rallied all his strength to counter Lin Han's punch.

"Boom!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

A loud sound erupted, and Xu Nian was shaken back step by step from the force, stopping only when he reached the cliff's edge, half a foot dangling in midair.

The onlookers outside the arena gasped in alarm, feeling the peril for Xu Nian.

On the other hand, Lin Han stood firmly on his spot, like an immovable mountain.

"Ha ha, Xu Nian, you only have your mouth to show off, now let's see if you dare to insult me again," Lin Han laughed heartily.

Xu Nian just laughed, looking at Lin Han and said, "Is that really so?"

Lin Han furrowed his brows subconsciously; he sensed a hint of scheming in Xu Nian's smile, yet he couldn't pinpoint what was off.

"Bang!"

Just then, a loud noise erupted.

Following that, Lin Han felt a chill across his body, then his whole body was mercilessly exposed to the blasting wind.

Lin Han covered his privates the moment his clothes burst open, but his reaction was still a bit slow.

The audience outside saw everything that shouldn't have been seen.

"Wow!"

The spectators outside widened their eyes and exclaimed, staring at the exposed body in the Xuantian Mirror, covering their mouths and laughing loudly.

Xu Nian also watched Lin Han's body, shaking his head and sighing, "Ah, what a pity!"

Hearing this, the onlookers outside burst into laughter.

Lin Han's face turned deathly pale; although he didn't know why his clothes had shattered, he knew it definitely had something to do with the Xu Nian in front of him.

Thinking about how his body was now exposed to the entire Academy, he felt an urge to find a hole to crawl into, and his gaze filled with killing intent when looking at Xu Nian.

"I will kill you!" Finally, Lin Han threw caution to the wind, abandoning any cover, and charged at Xu Nian.

However, Xu Nian just chuckled lightly, stepped on the edge of the cliff, and jumped off ahead of him.

"Is he... crazy?"

The spectators outside were all stunned, their smiles freezing instantly. They ignored Lin Han's half-naked scrambling and stared intently at Xu Nian jumping off the cliff.

They never expected Xu Nian to give up crushing the Golden Crow Token and just leap off Life-breaking Cliff?

Seeing this scene, Leng Yanran also suddenly stood up from her high seat, her delicate fists clenched tightly, her eyes a complex mix of emotions.
