Divine King of Honour-Chapter 470 - Good Opportunity
The middle-aged beautiful woman also raised her head at this moment.
When she saw the figure of the young man in the distance, she recognized that this young man was her son.
Her face was full of surprise.
Her eyes quickly moistened.
"Son!"
Xiuxue watched Xu Nian's figure, her expression extremely excited.
It had been several years since she had seen Xu Nian after returning to the Xu Family.
She was constantly worried about Xu Nian's safety.
Later, when she heard that Xu Xin had met Xu Nian, and that Xu Nian was still alive and well, she felt much more at ease.
However, her longing for Xu Nian had never stopped.
Unexpectedly, she had finally met Xu Nian here today.
Although Xu Nian was bathed in flames at this moment, Xiuxue recognized him at a glance.
However, Xiuxue quickly discerned the scene before her, and her heart instantly tightened.
Was Xu Nian fighting with Patriarch Xu?
"What...what is happening?" Xiuxue could hardly believe her own eyes.
How old was Xu Nian?
How could he possibly be a match for Patriarch Xu, who had lived for hundreds of years?
It looked to be a battle to the death.
Was she going to witness her son die before her eyes just after seeing him?
Xiuxue's heart tightened, and she wanted to break through the restriction.
However, this was a restriction set by a Battle Emperor Expert. How could she, a person without any cultivation, break it?
So all she could do was watch helplessly.
...
Patriarch Xu had retreated nearly thirty zhang before stopping his movement.
His eyes were filled with astonishment.
Xu Nian had actually caught his palm strike without falling into disadvantage?
This was far beyond his expectations.
"This child is so crafty. Only eighteen years old, and he already possesses so many techniques. If a few more years pass, would I not be his opponent?" Xu Tiangong thought to himself.
He felt increasingly that this young man's talent and potential were terrifyingly great.
"Xu Nian, your potential really far exceeds my expectations. I really did not expect that an eighteen-year-old could one day fight me to a draw. You are the most terrifyingly talented youth I have ever seen. How about this, as long as you swear to loyally serve the Xu Family, not only will I not kill you, but I can also support you as the head of the Xu Family," said Xu Tiangong.
"What?"
The people inside the Xu Family Hall, upon hearing this, all showed shocked expressions.
The Supreme Third Elder actually wanted to recruit Xu Nian.
Hadn't their previously convened meeting unanimously decided to kill Xu Nian?
Xu Tianhong clenched his fists even tighter, his face reddening.
If Xu Nian really agreed, wouldn't that mean his future position would be inherited by Xu Nian?
Moreover, Xu Nian had killed his favorite grandson. It seemed that the Supreme Third Elder had no intention of pursuing the matter.
How could he accept this?
And wouldn't this mean that he had lost to Xu Tianxu?
Inside the ancestral land, trapped within the restriction, Xiuxue also showed a surprised expression.
Was the Patriarch really saying he wanted her son to be the Family Head?
Had she heard wrong?
Although she did not care whether her son was the Family Head or not, it meant that as long as Xu Nian agreed, his life would not be in danger.
Of course, she knew her son's character very well.
Getting him to agree would probably be impossible.
Indeed, upon hearing this, Xu Nian merely laughed.
"Do you not think it's a bit late to say this now? From the moment I entered the Xu Family, all I felt was indifference, cold-bloodedness, and ruthlessness, like a family devoid of any emotions. Do you think I would ever covet becoming the head of such a family? From the moment you tried to kill me, it was destined that I and the Xu Family would be irreconcilable," Xu Nian replied with a cold laugh.
With that, the Immortal Sword appeared in his hand.
Patriarch Xu's brows furrowed upon hearing this.
Xu Tianhong inside the Xu Family Hall sighed in relief.
He had truly feared that Xu Nian might agree, and if that happened, he, as the Family Head Xu, would have no place to put his face.
Xiuxue was also struck by a sense of helplessness.
It was just as she thought; her son would never agree to such a request.
But thinking of Xu Nian being enemies with the entire Xu Family, she started to worry deeply for him.
"Mother, do you believe in your son? If you do, then support me. I will show you how your son will topple this arrogant and ruthless family," Xu Nian said, seemingly discerning his mother's thoughts.
Xiuxue was stunned, and then, with tears in her eyes, nodded heavily.
Her son had grown up.
He had become a man capable of standing tall on his own.
She believed that her son could indeed do what he said.
But thinking of the hardships her son had endured over the years, a strong pang of heartache surged through her.
"Hmph, arrogant and ignorant youngster, I, Xu Nian, have stood for a thousand years, what kind of calamity have I not faced? How could a junior like you shake me? Since you refuse to submit to the Xu Family, then you must not be spared," the elder snorted coldly.
Following that, he grabbed into the Void, and a Water Sword condensed in his hand.
Then, the entire person swung his sword, charging towards Xu Nian.
The sword carried a powerful Water Attribute Profound Argumentation Wave.
A single slash created an immense Sword Radiance, possessing boundless power.
Xu Nian, seeing this scene, did not confront it head-on.
Instead, he stepped on flames, transforming his figure into an afterimage, quickly closing in on the elder while dodging his attack.
Occasionally, he slashed at the unavoidable Sword Radiance.
The intense Flame Power collided with the Sword Radiance formed by the Water Sword, creating plumes of white mist.
Soon, Xu Nian reached the front of the elder.
"Seeking death!"
The elder snorted coldly.
While swinging his sword at Xu Nian, his other hand conjured three Water Dragons, attacking Xu Nian from different angles.

Xu Nian swung the Immortal Sword, with the Flame Power surging on its blade.
He continuously countered the elder's Sword Radiance and the Water Dragon's attacks.
If he were hit by any of the attacks, he would be completely defeated.
And then, a massive disaster would await him.
Xu Nian and the elder tangled in battle.
People in the Xu Family Hall showed surprised expressions.
Xu Nian could actually hold up against the Patriarch for so long?
Xiuxue was also astonished.
Her son had become so powerful?
"Boom!"
A Water Dragon struck Xu Nian's Immortal Sword.
Instantly, Xu Nian was sent flying backward.
The terrifying power still made Xu Nian involuntarily spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Ha ha, your secret technique must have a time limit, right? Your momentum is already decreasing; boy, you're done for," the elder laughed heartily.
He stepped into the Void, chasing after the retreating Xu Nian.
"Perfect opportunity!"
Xu Nian, seeing the elder pursuing him, a sharp gleam flashed through his eyes.
The power of the Kun Cave within him began to stir, merging into that fearsome volcanic force.
