Zhou Yan suddenly understood.
"Chen Yu!" Zhou Yan's lips curved into a slight smile.
"Zhou Yan, I advise you to surrender obediently and avoid suffering. Your cultivation talent is good. If you join the Chen family, you will definitely become a genius!" Chen Yu advised.
"Do you think I will agree to your terms?"
Zhou Yan sneered coldly.
"That is not up to you!" Chen Yu's eyes turned cold. "Take him down!"
Several black-clothed men immediately surrounded Chen Yu, holding long spears and charging at Zhou Yan with murderous intent.
"Overestimating your strength!"
Zhou Yan sneered, his body flickered, and he vanished from his original position. In the next moment, he appeared beside a black-clothed man, his long saber slashing through the air, heading straight for the man's throat.
The black-clothed man's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly dodged, but it was too late.
Pfft!
The long saber pierced the black-clothed man's chest, and blood spurted out.
The black-clothed man's eyes widened, filled with unwillingness, and he died with his eyes open.
Seeing this, the other men were terrified and scrambled to escape.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yan's lips curved into a cold sneer, and his body vanished from his original position again, appearing behind another black-clothed man.
The black-clothed man sensed the danger from behind and quickly dodged, but still couldn't escape. He was pierced through the back by the long saber, and blood gushed out.
"Don't... don't kill me!"
"Please!"
The remaining few immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
They were all masters of the Body Tempering Realm, fifth level, and usually commanded respect and wielded great power.
But now, they were like ants, at Zhou Yan's mercy.
"I will give you the time it takes for one stick of incense to consider," Zhou Yan said indifferently. "After the incense burns out, whether you are willing or not, you must fight me. Otherwise, your fate will be the same as his."
Hearing this, the few men exchanged glances and then nodded.
Zhou Yan snorted coldly and turned to leave.
They were all somewhat terrified, constantly wiping the sweat from their foreheads. Just now, they had almost thought they were going to die here.
"This Zhou Yan is indeed powerful. He can even defeat us!"
"Yes, luckily he didn't kill us. Otherwise, even if you all teamed up, you would definitely not be able to defeat him."
"This Zhou Yan is simply too terrifying!"
The crowd chattered and ran back to the mountain stronghold, reporting the matter to the chieftain.
"Chieftain, bad news! Zhou Yan is too powerful, we are no match for him at all," a young disciple said in a panic.
"Oh? Zhou Yan's strength is this strong?" The chieftain was also somewhat surprised.
The reason they sent people to assassinate Zhou Yan back then was only to humiliate him.
They never expected Zhou Yan to possess such strength!
"Yes, Chieftain, Zhou Yan's strength is probably no weaker than yours!"
The young disciple said.
"This is a bit troublesome," the chieftain frowned and pondered.
If Zhou Yan was at the same level as him, they might not be able to suppress Zhou Yan.
"Chieftain, Zhou Yan is too arrogant. He not only humiliated us but also killed hundreds of disciples. If this continues, we may not be able to subdue him and will instead bring about our own destruction!" An elder said after a moment of thought.
"Hmm." The chieftain took a deep breath. "Go and inform him to leave the Southern Wilderness quickly, otherwise, don't blame us for acting ruthlessly."
"Yes, Chieftain." The young disciple nodded.
Soon, a piece of news spread throughout the entire Southern Wilderness.
Zhou Yan had defeated five hundred elite disciples and killed them!
Hearing this news, the entire Southern Wilderness erupted.
"Holy crap! How can this Zhou Yan be so powerful!"
"Yeah, he actually fought five hundred elite disciples alone. That's too fierce!"
"Is Zhou Yan really going to rise?"
In the Southern Wilderness, people from various major families were shocked into silence.
For a time, Zhou Yan's name resounded throughout the Southern Wilderness.
Not only that, but Zhou Yan's fearsome reputation also reached the Chen family. Da Feng Novel Network.
Upon hearing this news, the Chen family patriarch stomped his feet in anger: "Bastard, that scoundrel Zhou Yan is actually so strong. No wonder he dares to oppose my Chen family!"
"Patriarch, although Zhou Yan is powerful, he wouldn't dare to barge in," a black-clothed man said respectfully.
"You are wrong. This time, the Chen family is serious!" The Chen family patriarch shook his head. "Zhou Yan is just a tool for my Chen family to hone him."
"Patriarch, you mean to let Zhou Yan become the third Li family, or even a stronger force than the Li family?" the black-clothed man asked.
"Hmm." The Chen family patriarch nodded, then said, "This time, even if he had nine lives, it wouldn't be enough for my Chen family to play with."
He was not a kind person. In his opinion, killing one person was no different from killing a crowd, and it was even more satisfying.
Zhou Yan's appearance caused the Chen family's influence to rise again.
"Patriarch is wise," the black-clothed man flattered.
The Chen family patriarch nodded with satisfaction and then ordered, "Go, summon Zhou Yan."
A moment later, Zhou Yan arrived at the Chen family.
Looking at the Chen family patriarch before him, Zhou Yan frowned, a look of solemnity in his eyes.
"Zhou Yan, you are very strong, but today, you must stay here and serve our Chen family like a beast of burden!"
The Chen family patriarch sneered. After saying this, his body suddenly erupted, and he pounced at Zhou Yan, striking out with a palm like a sharp, unparalleled long sword, aiming straight for Zhou Yan's throat.
The Chen family patriarch's strength was not bad; he was at the peak of the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm, a first-class expert in the Southern Wilderness.
Facing the Chen family patriarch's sneak attack, Zhou Yan snorted coldly and met the opponent with a punch. The two immediately engaged in a fierce battle.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Rumble!"
As their fists and palms collided, a terrifying surge of energy swept through the surroundings, causing some buildings to collapse instantly, turning into dust.
"What powerful attacks!"
"What strong defense!"
"What is Zhou Yan's cultivation level?"
......
After observing the fight between Zhou Yan and the Chen family patriarch, many disciples marveled in their hearts.
The formidable cultivation displayed by Zhou Yan made them fearful.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the Chen family patriarch's attack landed on Zhou Yan's protective aura, and a violent explosion sounded.
Immediately afterward, the Chen family patriarch felt as if his palm had struck an iron plate, and a phản lực erupted from his palm.
His hand instantly twitched in pain.
"What's going on!?"
He was greatly shocked and looked at Zhou Yan with terror in his eyes.
Was this guy's strength so terrifying!?
"You scoundrel, how dare you harm my niece, you're seeking death!"
The Chen family patriarch roared, exuding a fierce killing aura.
"Hmph, I was merely helping you solve this troublesome problem," Zhou Yan said with a cold laugh.
