But the strength of the young man before him was unfathomable, making her feel pressured. Moreover, his attire seemed to be that of the commander of the Chu Dynasty's Imperial Guards.
"Heh, you don't need to know who I am!"
As the words fell, Zhou Yan's killing intent surged. His eyes flickered with a cold glint as he fixed his gaze on Chu Yundie.
"Arrogant!"
Chu Yundie let out a sharp cry, her beautiful eyes shooting out fierce rays of light. She wielded her spear, instantly thrusting it towards Zhou Yan.
The spear tip collided with the blade, emitting a clang of metal, sparks flying.
Following that, both figures retreated simultaneously.
"What astonishing strength!"
Chu Yundie narrowed her beautiful eyes, looking at Zhou Yan with a grave expression. She had already exerted seven to eight tenths of her power, yet she couldn't gain the upper hand against Zhou Yan. Instead, she felt a subtle disadvantage.
"Hahaha, you are destined to die today!"
Just then, another sinister laugh rang out, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps. Dozens of black-armored guards rushed out, surrounding Zhou Yan.
Among them, three individuals resembling commanders stood at the forefront.
"How dare you trespass into my Chu Manor, you court death!"
One of the commanders glared at Zhou Yan with a stern gaze and shouted coldly.
"Heh, Chu Manor?"
A contemptuous smile played on Zhou Yan's lips. "After today, this place will likely belong to the Zhou family!"
"What?"
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, the guards present were all taken aback.
They couldn't understand why Zhou Yan would suddenly say such a thing. What was going on?
The next moment, Zhou Yan, too lazy to waste words, circulated the primordial energy within him and transformed into a fierce tiger, charging forward.
In an instant, Zhou Yan lunged at a black-armored guard and unleashed a punch.
Caught off guard, the black-armored guard let out a scream and was sent flying like a broken kite.
His chest exploded, flesh and blood splattering. His internal organs were shattered, and he died on the spot without even a chance to wail.
Zhou Yan's assault did not stop. He continued to pounce on several other black-armored guards, eliminating all of them in the blink of an eye.
At this point, only one person remained: the commander at the front.
"Damn it, how could this happen?"
The commander's expression was one of shock, his eyes wide with disbelief.
A tempest of disbelief raged within his heart, his mind utterly unsettled.
These guards were immensely powerful, especially some of them who had reached the Half-step Divine King realm. Yet, in the end, they were all killed by the young man before him!
He knew that even with his cultivation at the Half-step Cave Heaven realm, he would not be a match for these guards, let alone face such a crushing defeat.
"Zhou Yan?"
A look of intense surprise appeared on Chu Yundie's delicate face.
"So you are the eldest daughter of the Chu family. No wonder your cultivation speed is so fast."
Zhou Yan's gaze swept over Chu Yundie, a playful smile on his lips.
Chu Yundie's cultivation speed was incredibly fast, advancing from the peak of the Body Refining realm to the ninth level of Innate realm in just half a year. Such talent was practically monstrous, even considered extremely rare throughout the Eastern Continent.
However, he didn't care. He possessed a heaven-defying fortune and was destined to become an supreme existence.
"Zhou Yan, have you gone mad?"
Chu Yundie frowned. She felt the killing intent flowing from Zhou Yan, causing her heart to pound inexplicably.
"Whether I'm mad or not, you'll soon find out!"
Zhou Yan grinned, reaching out to grab a long spear that appeared in his hand. He held the spear with one arm and flung it forward with immense force.
The spear transformed into a swimming dragon, carrying terrifying might, tearing through the air and arriving in an instant.
"Not good!"
The commander's pupils contracted, and he immediately employed his movement technique to evade.
However, the spear was too fast. In an instant, it pierced through his body, pinning him dead in the distance.
Before his death, the commander's face was filled with unwillingness. He never expected to perish here.
Zhou Yan's strength was many times more terrifying than he had anticipated.
"Hiss!"
Around them, the martial artists of the Chu royal family were all terrified, gasping in astonishment, their eyes blankly staring at Zhou Yan.
Everything had happened too quickly. By the time they reacted, the commander and the captain of the guards had all fallen.
Chu Yundie was also stunned.
She had just been about to act, but Zhou Yan's strength was far beyond her imagination, even making her feel suffocated and a trace of fear.
"Miss Chu, are you still going to stop me?"
Zhou Yan retracted his killing intent and looked at Chu Yundie.
"Hmph, you dream of destroying my Chu Dynasty!"
Chu Yundie snorted coldly. Her jade-like hands flew, producing a crystal-clear stone seal, which she tossed into the air.
The stone seal grew rapidly against the wind, instantly becoming a hundred meters in size, suspended in mid-air.
Inscriptions shimmered on the surface of the stone seal, emitting strands of sacred light, as if containing unfathomable power.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Yan's gaze fell upon the stone seal, his eyes shining with brilliance. A look of ardor appeared in his eyes.
Just then, Chu Yundie raised her palm and pointed at the stone seal.
The stone seal trembled violently, and a layer of milky-white light spread out, enveloping the entire Chu Manor.
Instantly, the ground around the Chu Manor collapsed, and countless skeletal remains emerged, piling up like mountains. Each corpse exuded a terrifying malevolent aura.
"Mountain of corpses and bones?"
Upon seeing the scene before him, Zhou Yan couldn't help but gasp.
He hadn't expected this stone seal to have such a miraculous effect, summoning countless skeletons and bones.
"Hehehe, this is a treasure that this princess spent years searching for. Today, I shall send you to your demise!"
Chu Yundie's face turned cold. She pointed her slender jade fingers again. This time, the stone seal emitted a brilliant radiance, forming ripples that swept across the sky.
The void trembled, space distorted, and the ripples, like vast oceans, surged forth overwhelmingly.
Zhou Yan's body was immediately sent flying, crashing to the ground.
After this strike, Chu Yundie spat out a large mouthful of blood. Her delicate body swayed, almost falling to the ground, clearly having expended a great deal of energy.
"Damn it, you actually wounded me?"
Zhou Yan roared, his eyes turning crimson, exuding a violent, bloodthirsty aura.
"I will kill you!"
Zhou Yan went completely berserk. The spiritual energy surged through his body, his aura climbing steadily. A vast and powerful spiritual energy continuously flowed out of him, forming a hazy mist.
Then, Zhou Yan let out a low roar and pointed a finger forward. A dazzling golden light shot towards Chu Yundie, sharp and overbearing.
"Not good!"
