After speaking, his eyes flickered slightly as he stared at the other party, "If you don't want to die, get lost quickly!"
Zhou Yan's words were calm, but filled with undeniable authority.
"Heh..."
Upon hearing this, the Chen family patriarch revealed a cruel sneer.
"Zhou Yan, do you really think you're invincible? Today, I'll let you know what a real gap is!"
As the words fell, the Chen family patriarch stomped his foot, and his figure instantly charged towards Zhou Yan.
Boom!
The air exploded, and the Chen family patriarch moved with lightning speed, his hands forming claws as he ferociously grabbed at Zhou Yan's chest.
He was incredibly fast, arriving almost in the blink of an eye.
"Die!"
The Chen family patriarch's eyes gleamed with ferocity, and with a low roar, his fingers, like sharp talons, pierced the air and tore towards Zhou Yan's chest.
At this moment, Zhou Yan remained in his original stance, utterly still.
"This idiot Zhou Yan, has he been scared silly?"
Seeing this scene, the Chen family patriarch, along with the other Chen clan members, couldn't help but frown.
This Zhou Yan was too arrogant, completely disregarding the Chen family patriarch.
However, the Chen family patriarch's expression also turned grim.
He sensed that something was amiss. Zhou Yan's dismissive gaze just now, and his current reaction, seemed exceptionally peculiar.
"Hmm?"
His eyes held a solemn look, his mind on high alert, and his concentration was fully focused.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the wind changed drastically, and a mass of black mist spewed out from Zhou Yan's body, transforming into a raging sea of fire that engulfed both Zhou Yan and the Chen family patriarch.
The flames raged, burning fiercely, incinerating the void into nothingness.
"Ah... what's happening?"
In an instant, the Chen family patriarch felt a deadly crisis. His pupils contracted sharply, and a look of profound shock appeared deep within his eyes.
"Damn it! What in the world is this?"
He resisted desperately, but he could not stop the onslaught of the fiery waves.
Bang!
In that instant, the Chen family patriarch was completely swallowed by the billowing sea of fire.
"Ah... save me..."
From within the sea of fire, a miserable wail was heard, which then abruptly ceased, vanishing from the world entirely.
"Hiss!"
Witnessing this terrifying scene, the Chen clan members and the many Chen disciples surrounding them all gasped in fear, trembling from head to toe, their faces filled with terror.
The Chen family patriarch had perished just like that.
Moreover, not even his bones could be found.
This was too horrifying to comprehend.
"This..."
The Chen family patriarch's son, Chen Yunfei, was stunned on the spot.
Just now, the Chen family patriarch had come with killing intent, intending to take Zhou Yan's life.
How could he have suddenly died?
Could it be that the sea of fire was not an illusion, but something Zhou Yan had summoned?
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent. He scanned his surroundings and coldly shouted, "Anyone who dares to take another step forward, I will wipe out their entire family!"
At this moment, Zhou Yan's rage had reached its peak.
Just now, the Chen family patriarch's ferocious expression and sinister words had ignited his killing intent.
"Zhou Yan, you actually dared to kill my father?"
Suddenly, Chen Yunfei's eyes widened, and he roared angrily, "You are utterly insane, your sins are boundless, you..."
"Silence!"
However, Zhou Yan couldn't be bothered to respond and let out a thunderous shout.
Swish~
Immediately after, Zhou Yan flicked his finger, and a streak of dark light shot out, piercing Chen Yunfei's throat.
Squelch!
Blood splattered, and Chen Yunfei's mouth gaped open. He clutched his throat and collapsed to his knees, blood flowing from his hands, soaking the ground, and finally, he slumped to the earth.
His eyes were bloodshot, filled with disbelief, staring straight at Zhou Yan.
Chen Yunfei could never have imagined that Zhou Yan would actually dare to attack him? And so mercilessly.
"Chen Yunfei, for the sake of your former marital relationship with my mother, I will spare your life. If you are still foolish, next time it won't just be your throat that's broken."
Zhou Yan's expression was icy as he said indifferently, "Alright, you can take your group of useless subordinates and leave. Remember from now on, don't provoke me again."
His words were domineering, but how could Chen Yunfei and the others dare to linger any longer?
Chen Yunfei forced himself to stand, dragging his battered body, and fled with a group of Chen disciples in a panic.
In the blink of an eye, the scene fell silent.
"Zhou Yan, I hate you!"
From a distance, a young girl's eyes were bloodshot, and she gritted her teeth.
Her beautiful eyes were filled with boundless venom.
This young girl was Wang Qianru, the daughter of the former Chen family patriarch.
However, she never expected that Zhou Yan would be so audacious, daring to kill the Chen family patriarch.
Furthermore, not content with killing, he even dared to provoke the Chen clan, ordering all the Chen people to leave.
"So what if you hate me?"
Zhou Yan glanced at Wang Qianru indifferently and sneered, "Do you think these clowns can take revenge on me? It's laughable!"
"You..."
Hearing this, Wang Qianru's face flushed crimson, and she became furious and ashamed.
"Zhou Yan, you just wait, I will definitely make you pay the price!"
Wang Qianru's pretty face contorted. After uttering her threat, she fled with a group of Chen disciples in a sorry state.
Watching their retreating figures, Zhou Yan let out a cold laugh.
"Zhou Yan, I will report this matter to the Old Master. You wait to be punished."
At this moment, Li Zhongyi's face was ashen, and he said coldly.
Once the Old Master found out that Zhou Yan had killed someone, he would surely punish Zhou Yan severely. Moreover, Zhou Yan would have to pay with his life!
"Indeed! Zhou Yan has committed a colossal mistake this time!"
"We must quickly inform the family elders and eliminate him. Otherwise, if Zhou Yan grows up, he will be a disaster for our Chen clan."
Many Chen disciples echoed his sentiments, their eyes revealing deep apprehension.
While Zhou Yan's strength was not as great as theirs, he possessed terrifying fire-attribute soul power.
Once he refined it and enhanced his soul power, his strength would skyrocket.
Such a monster must be nipped in the bud.
No matter who it was, they would not allow Zhou Yan to grow.
"I have already sent someone," Li Zhongyi said. "You all, go home immediately and report Zhou Yan's murder of the Chen family patriarch to the Old Master."
Who was the Chen family patriarch?
He was the head of the Chen clan!
He was the top expert of the Chen clan!
If the Chen family patriarch fell because of a mere Zhou Yan, the Chen clan would undoubtedly fall into chaos.
At that time, it would cause extremely negative repercussions.
"Yes, sir!"
Hearing this, the numerous Chen disciples bowed in unison and then hurriedly left.
Zhou Yan watched coldly, snorting inwardly, "What does it matter if he's the Chen family patriarch? I've long wanted to destroy your Chen family. Today is just taking advantage of the situation.
Aren't all your Chen family experts here?
I was just worrying about not having a place to make an example of someone, and today you delivered yourselves to my doorstep.
Zhou Yan, we of the Chen family will remember this debt.
The Chen clan!
Must be annihilated!"
