"Hand over the antidote, or die!" Xu Nian looked at the Black River Elder with icy coldness, his voice brimming with endless killing intent.

    "Hmph, little brat, even if you''ve borrowed other powers, you are still a hundred thousand miles away from killing me!" The Black River Elder snorted coldly, still filled with disdain for the youth before him.

    Although the youth''s current evil aura was quite serious, after all, he was a Marquis Level powerhouse, not so easily shaken.

    "Then go die!" Xu Nian roared, stepping down on the stone slab.

    The stone slab shattered, and his figure turned into a shadow that zipped out, fists surging with the terrifying power of thunder and flames, smashing fiercely towards the Black River Elder.

    "Hmph, overestimating yourself!" The Black River Elder snorted coldly, stepping forward, and terrifying spiritual energy immediately formed a defensive light shield.

    "Boom!"

    Xu Nian''s thunder fire power, fused with two types of forces, struck the Black River Elder''s spiritual energy light shield, erupting into a terrifying roar.

    With the sound of that roar, the Black River Elder''s spiritual energy-formed defense shield began to tremble violently and finally exploded.

    "Eh?" The Black River Elder was clearly surprised, not expecting his defense shield to be broken.

    "Die!"

    Xu Nian still didn''t stop, shouting out a single word.

    Then, a Tie Chui appeared in his hand, a terrifying black evil aura instantly covering it, and he swung the Tie Chui towards the Black River Elder.

    "Hmph, seeking death!"

    The Black River Elder also got angry, black spiritual energy surged from his body, covering his palm, and he fiercely slapped the Tie Chui.

    "Boom!"

    With a heaven-shaking bang, the Tie Chui flew out of Xu Nian''s hand.

    The man himself was sent flying back in an instant, crashing into a distant wall, which collapsed as blood spurted wildly.

    Those around shook their heads at this scene.

    How could it be easy to shake a Marquis Level powerhouse? If Xu Nian really could shake a Marquis Level powerhouse with the cultivation of a Nine-star Warrior, it would have been enough to shock the entire Tianhen Empire.

    "Master, why him? He''s nothing but trash. Why would you accept him as a disciple?" Before Xu Nian could reply, Qin Hen, who was beside them, started to protest.

    "If he is trash, what does that make you, noisy thing!" Black River Elder huffed coldly and immediately slapped a palm towards Qin Hen.

    Dark Spiritual Energy surged out and blasted against Qin Hen''s chest.

    "Boom!"

    Qin Hen didn''t even manage to scream before his body exploded from the impact of Black River Elder''s Spiritual Energy, his blood and flesh flying in all directions.

    Disciples of the Qin family in the distance were horrified by this scene.

    Qin Hen had not been modest about boasting to them, claiming to have a Marquis Level Master, and now he had been killed by his own Master.

    Even Qin Yuanshan was too enraged to speak out, his only option was to watch Qin Hen die.

    Xu Nian had not expected Black River Elder to be so decisive, outright killing Qin Hen.

    "What do you say, will you or will you not take me as your Master?" Black River Elder looked at Xu Nian and said.

    "First, bring out the antidote, then I will consider it," Xu Nian replied.

    "Hmph, little brat, don''t try to play tricks on me. Not to mention I don''t have any antidote, even if I did, I certainly wouldn''t give it to you. I''ll give you one last chance, are you willing to be my disciple or not? If you say no, you''ll end up just like Qin Hen," Black River Elder huffed coldly.

    Upon hearing that Black River Elder didn''t have the antidote, a surge of anger welled up in Xu Nian''s eyes, and three words burst forth from his mouth: "You''re not worthy!"

    "Then you can die!" roared Black River Elder in a fury, mobilizing his terrifying Spiritual Energy to strike at Xu Nian.

    Dark Spiritual Energy, incredibly fierce, took the form of a giant handprint, harshly smashing down on Xu Nian.

    Xu Nian''s gaze was steely, facing death without fear!

    "Ha-ha, my disciple is not someone trash like you can recruit at will!"

    However, just when everyone thought Xu Nian would be killed on the spot, a sound like a powerful bell rang out from the sky.

    The Spiritual Energy handprint rushing towards Xu Nian exploded in an instant, turning into nothingness, and Xu Nian had not been touched in the slightest!
