"What do you mean?"
Bai Wuji's face showed surprise, and he asked suspiciously.
Zhou Yan was startled, then sneered, "Guess for yourself."
After speaking, he turned and left.
The Bai family and the Su family colluded to seize the Zhou family's business. It was time to settle this score.
Whoosh!
The next moment, a sword light flashed, cutting through the sky.
Clang!
Bai Wuji's pupils contracted sharply. His face changed drastically. In his panic, he took out a precious weapon spear and blocked in front of him.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing echoed, sparks flying, deafening. The powerful impact force made Bai Wuji's tiger's mouth numb, and he almost dislocated his wrist.
"What?"
Bai Wuji looked down. The precious weapon spear in his hand was cut in half by a small and exquisite dagger.
The sharpness of the dagger was comparable to a spiritual weapon.
Hiss hiss~~
Looking at the half-section of the spear in his hand, Bai Wuji's heart churned with waves, and he was extremely shocked.
"How is this possible..."
Bai Wuji's face turned ashen, and he murmured.
Swish!
Suddenly, a dazzling sword glow swept past, carrying a fierce killing intent.
Puchi!
Before Bai Wuji could react, his neck turned cold. Warm, foul-smelling blood spurted out, staining his clothes red.
His eyes were unfocused, and his throat moved a few times before he finally spoke with difficulty:
"You... you actually dare to kill me?"
Bai Wuji's heart turned cold, and his whole body trembled with fear as he stared at Zhou Yan.
The opponent's ferocity was beyond his imagination.
"So what if I kill you?"
A playful smile appeared on Zhou Yan's lips, and he said indifferently.
He originally didn't want to kill innocent people, but these people tried to kill him one by one. Since that was the case, he couldn't be blamed.
"You... aren't you afraid of being hunted by the Bai family?"
Bai Wuji was filled with bitterness. He had a noble identity and peerless martial arts, yet he had fallen into the hands of his enemy.
"Do you think I care about a mere Bai family?"
Zhou Yan sneered.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a deafening roar, like thunder from the nine heavens, exploded. A destructive aura descended, enveloping the entire area.
Bang bang bang!
The space around Zhou Yan vibrated, ripples surging as if the end of the world had arrived, and the air was drained.
Crack!
The next second, a figure in black robes appeared.
"Who... who are you?"
Bai Wuji's face was filled with panic, and he asked in a trembling voice.
The figure in black robes was burly and sturdy, with an ancient long saber hanging behind him. His face was ferocious, giving off a sense of grim killing intent.
"Who am I? Hahaha..."
The black-robed man threw his head back and laughed, his eyes as cold as ice, and said coldly, "I am Yama!"
"Yama?"
Bai Wuji's expression changed, and he was terrified. He hurriedly said, "You are from the Underworld Palace. My father is the City Lord Bai Xiaoyun. If you dare to kill me, you will never escape the Bai Mansion."
"Underworld Palace?"
Zhou Yan's eyebrows twitched. He seemed to have heard of this force.
"That's right. The Underworld Palace is a force under the King of the Northwest, specializing in collecting souls and refining ghost soldiers. Their strength is formidable and very terrifying."
Bai Wuji's face was ecstatic. He quickly invoked the Underworld Palace as a backer, trying to threaten Zhou Yan.
"Underworld Palace..."
Zhou Yan's expression turned grim. He was a little worried.
Although he was not afraid of the Bai family, the Underworld Palace was quite troublesome.
"Underworld Palace, I'll see what you're capable of!"
After a moment, Zhou Yan took a deep breath, his expression returning to coldness, and he approached Bai Wuji again.
"You... you can't kill me..."
Seeing Zhou Yan getting closer and closer, Bai Wuji was so scared that his liver and gallbladder were splitting. He shouted hysterically.
As the dignified head of the Bai family, how could he be willing to die like this?
"Bai Wuji, do you think I'll be afraid just because you mention the Underworld Palace?"
Zhou Yan shook his head and sneered contemptuously, "The Underworld Palace is merely the weakest force under the King of the Northwest."
"Moreover, as far as I know, this Underworld Palace is not ruled by the King of Hell, but belongs to the three revered elders of the King of the Northwest."
"If you kill me, the Bai family will definitely not let this matter rest."
Bai Wuji's face was pleading as he begged Zhou Yan to spare his life.
Hearing this, Zhou Yan's steps paused, and he fell into thought.
He was indeed not afraid of revenge from the Bai family, but if it involved the King of the Northwest, it would be a bit troublesome.
After all, the King of the Northwest was a overlord of the continent, wielding immense power, controlling the entire Northwest region, and his influence extended throughout the Eastern Wasteland. Even the royal family had to give him three points of deference.
If he provoked the King of the Northwest, he had to be extremely cautious.
"You want to live?"
Zhou Yan raised his head, glanced at Bai Wuji, and grinned.
"Want... want to live."
Bai Wuji's heart tightened, and he quickly responded.
At this moment, he could no longer care about anything else, he just wanted to save his life.
"Heh heh, unfortunately, it's too late."
Suddenly, Zhou Yan's expression turned cold and stern.
As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his wrist and pressed the dagger against Bai Wuji's chest.
"You..."
Bai Wuji's face turned pale, his eyes widened, and he looked at Zhou Yan with unconcealed unwillingness. He never expected that Zhou Yan would actually have the intent to kill.
"Die."
Zhou Yan's expression was indifferent. He exerted force with his finger, about to stab the dagger through Bai Wuji's chest.
Hoo!
Just then, a fierce whistling sound came from afar, accompanied by a dense aura of killing intent.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Yan's brows furrowed, and he looked up.
Boom!
In an instant, a crimson stream of light shot over and struck a stone pillar.
Crack!
The stone pillar shattered, turning into dust that filled the air.
As the smoke and dust dispersed, a mighty figure was revealed.
The newcomer was burly, clad in armor, with a sturdy physique. A saber hung at his waist, and his eyes were filled with brutal killing intent.
On his shoulder, he carried a black chain.
The black chain hung down, several zhang thick, like a steel whip, smashing heavily onto the ground, leaving a huge pit.
"This is... Xuan Tie Chain?"
Zhou Yan's pupils contracted, and his heart was stirred by a storm.
The Xuan Tie Chain was a specialty of the Nanyang Kingdom, incredibly tough, and ordinary sharp weapons could not cut through it.
At this moment, a sense of foreboding vaguely arose in his heart.
"Heh heh, little brat, you've finally come out."
At the same time, the burly figure also saw Zhou Yan, grinned, revealing a row of snow-white teeth, terrifyingly sinister.
"Who are you? What do you want with me?"
Zhou Yan's gaze was serious, and he asked in a deep voice.
He could feel that this person was by no means simple, and his strength had reached the Xiantian realm.
"I, am one of the Eight Divisions under the King of the Northwest, Yama!"
The burly figure grinned confidently.
The Eight Divisions under the King of the Northwest?
Zhou Yan's eyes flashed. He had previously researched the Eight Divisions.
Each division was formed by martial arts grandmasters and represented the pinnacle of power under the King of the Northwest.
The leader of the Eight Divisions was the Underworld Palace.
Legend had it that the Palace Master of the Underworld Palace had already reached the Gang Dan realm and was a martial arts grandmaster-level expert.
Even placed in the King of the Northwest's mansion, he was a renowned and highly esteemed expert.
"Underworld Palace, I'll remember you."
Two chilling rays of light shot out from Zhou Yan's eyes, and he snorted coldly.
"Good boy, you have courage, and you even know about the King of the Northwest's Palace."
Yama grinned and said indifferently:
"This Xuan Tie chain of mine was forged from meteor iron, and even a Gang Qi Grandmaster cannot break it."
"There is only one way for you to survive."
