Outside the Demon Beast Forest, on an empty plot of land, four people were seated.

    These four individuals were none other than Qin Shan and his group.

    At this moment, their facial expressions clearly showed some urgency, as it was a great concern to them that they hadn''t caught Xu Nian after such a long time.

    "Big brother Qin Shan, do you think Xu Nian could have escaped, or was he eaten by a Demon Beast? Otherwise, why hasn''t he come out from the depths of the Demon Beast Forest for so long?" Qin Yu couldn''t help but ask.

    It had already been over two months, and his patience had completely worn thin, genuinely suspecting that Xu Nian might have been devoured by a Demon Beast.

    "Let''s wait a bit longer. Xu Nian''s duel with Ouyang Chengfeng is almost three months away, and if he still wants to prove himself against Ouyang Chengfeng, he will definitely come out from inside the Demon Beast Forest," Qin Shan said.

    Mentioning Xu Nian ignited a surge of anger in him, for last time, Xu Nian had tricked him terribly, and he had almost been killed by a Dark Demon Ape, a grudge that had been festering in his heart, growing angrier as time passed.

    "Hmph, if he dies inside a Demon Beast, it serves him right. If I catch him, I will definitely tear him limb from limb," Qin Lei coldly snorted.

    He and Qin Dian had been close friends since childhood; now that Qin Dian was killed by Xu Nian, his fury towards Xu Nian was imaginable.

    "Yes, I won''t let him off either. Originally, we four—Qin Yu, Qin Lei, Qin Dian, and I—had plans to make a name for ourselves together. Now that Qin Dian is dead, it''s like a slap in the face to us," Qin Yu added, also coldly snorting, with killing intent evident in his eyes.

    Not just Qin Lei and Qin Yu, even Qin Feng''s eyes carried a hint of chill.

    "Are you looking for me?"

    At that moment, a frivolous voice suddenly sounded.

    "Xu Nian!"

    The four men quickly turned towards the direction of the voice and suddenly leaped up from the ground, their eyes blazing with an intense gleam.No?v(el)B\\jnn

    "Does this kid really dare to show up? Is he seeking death?"

    "Quick, don''t let him escape!"

    Qin Shan and the others exclaimed in surprise and immediately surrounded Xu Nian, deeply afraid that Xu Nian would escape.

    Xu Nian, however, stood in place with no intention of running, his lips curved in a mocking smile.

    "Haha, as they say, ''you avoid the way to heaven, yet you barge into Hell Non-Gate,'' Xu Nian. I didn''t expect you to walk right into my trap," Qin Lei laughed heartily, looking at Xu Nian as if he were a sure catch, his eyes filled with amusement.

    Qin Feng and Qin Yu also looked on with a mocking expression, their faces full of triumph.

    Qin Shan and Qin Feng, who had already charged over, also widened their eyes in disbelief upon seeing this scene.

    Xu Nian glanced at Qin Feng and Qin Shan behind him, his lips curling into a slight smile. Without another look at Qin Yu, he swung his Xuan Iron Sword, cutting down Qin Yu.

    Blood splashed, and Qin Yu fell with intense reluctance.

    At that moment, in the eyes of Qin Shan and Qin Feng, Xu Nian seemed like a true Killing God.

    Effortlessly killing two men.

    Even Qin Feng and Qin Shan were stunned.

    Xu Nian looked at the two remaining men and sneered coldly, "I already gave you a chance to run away; you didn''t cherish it. Whose fault can you blame?"

    "Xu Nian, how could your strength have increased so rapidly?" Qin Shan asked with a furrowed brow.

    From the attack just now, Xu Nian''s strength was evidently no longer below his, and might even be above. This shocked him greatly.

    Just a month ago, Xu Nian was no match for him, yet now he had surpassed him.

    "Want to know? Come on, defeat me, and I''ll tell you. You want my adventure, don''t you? My strength increased so rapidly because of that adventure," Xu Nian said with a cold laugh.

    "Adventure!" Qin Shan''s eyes immediately lit up, thinking that if he could get the same adventure that allowed Xu Nian to grow so quickly within a month, wouldn''t he be able to surpass Qin Tian?

    "Since you''re courting death, I''ll grant it to you." Xu Nian''s words tempted Qin Shan, who roared and charged to attack Xu Nian.

    Seeing this, Xu Nian''s lips curled into a faint smile as he muttered softly, "Ling Feng Thirteen Swords, the eleventh sword, Wind Song!"

    Buzz!

    At that moment, Qin Shan seemed to hear the melody of the wind by his ear, and the next moment, a sword light too fast for him to react crossed his neck.

    "How... How is this possible?" Qin Shan was shocked, his face filled with disbelief.

    Qin Feng stood by, completely stunned, unable to utter a word.

    One sword!

    Just one sword had killed the Eight-star Warrior, Qin Shan.

    What the hell was Xu Nian''s strength?
