"This guy is finished, Chu Yushan is no pushover."
Many people looked at Zhou Yan with awe.
"Such a big mouth, a mere junior, why should I, Chu Yushan, fear him? What does it matter if I kill you?"
Chu Yushan's eyes darkened, and he lunged forward. A vast amount of primal energy surged out, causing ripples in the void before him. Then, it condensed into a giant fiery bird, wings spanning several meters, exuding a ferocious aura.
"Crimson Flame Sparrow!"
Chu Yushan let out a cold shout. The fiery bird flapped its wings, carrying a terrifying temperature that could burn all things, and swooped down towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's eyes flickered. He stepped forward, and a fiery red armor materialized on his body, radiating a fiery red glow. A formidable aura swept out.
"Kill!"
Zhou Yan extended his arm and struck out with his palm. A stream of yellow light shot out, like a falling meteor, carrying a scorching wave of heat.
"Roar..."
With a loud dragon's roar, a colossal phantom of a golden dragon soul coiled out, emanating a terrifying dragon's might. The majestic dragon's claws extended, and a claw print enveloped Chu Yushan's fiery bird like the sky and sun.
"Chilala...!"
The two attacks collided, and the fiery bird was instantly shattered, scattering into a sky full of flames.
"Boom!"
The lingering power of the claw print continued to strike Chu Yushan's chest. In an instant, Chu Yushan's chest caved in, and he let out another scream, flying backward and spewing blood from his mouth. He was directly swatted down from mid-air by a single claw, smashing heavily onto the ground.
"Chu Yushan!"
The surrounding onlookers were astonished. This guy was too strong, having sent both Zhao Qiankun and Chu Yushan crashing to the ground with a single blow. Such strength was monstrous.
"You... you are at the peak of the Innate Realm."
Zhao Qiankun struggled to his feet, looking at Zhou Yan with shock in his eyes, followed by fear. Someone at the peak of the Innate Realm was comparable to an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the Seven-Star Profound Spirit Realm.
"You only realize that now? It's too late. I'll take my brother's life for him."
Zhou Yan said coldly. He stomped his foot forcefully, and his body shot towards Zhao Qiankun. Sharp fist radiance pierced the void, blasting out at the fastest speed, instantly covering Zhao Qiankun's entire body.
"Bastard!"
Zhao Qiankun's face changed drastically. He frantically circulated his primal energy to resist, striking out in a panic.
"Bang bang bang!"
In just a few breaths, Zhou Yan unleashed a series of powerful attacks on Zhao Qiankun. Zhao Qiankun retreated steadily, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. He was completely stunned, his bones breaking and his meridians shattering, rendering him utterly incapable of fighting.
"How can this be? Zhao Qiankun actually lost to this guy!"
The other subordinates of Chu Yushan stared dumbfounded, unable to believe that their leader had been incapacitated in one move.
Zhou Yan reined in his aura, his gaze icy. He walked up to Zhao Qiankun and said, "Do you want to end it yourself, or shall I send you on your way?"
Zhao Qiankun trembled with fear, his eyes wide with terror as he looked at Zhou Yan. "No, I was wrong. Don't kill me, please don't kill me. I surrender, I surrender!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly, his fingers gripping Zhao Qiankun's throat. He lifted him up and said, "You only realize your mistake now? It's too late."
"Don't kill me, spare my life."
Zhao Qiankun was greatly alarmed, begging in terror. He felt the overwhelming killing intent and coldness emanating from Zhou Yan, and his heart trembled. At that moment, he felt as if he were facing a peerless god of war.
"I said, anyone who dares to touch my brother dies!" Zhou Yan grinned ferociously and then directly crushed Zhao Qiankun's neck.
Zhao Qiankun let out a pained cry, his body going limp and falling to the ground, his life extinguished. All this happened in the blink of an eye, catching everyone off guard.
"Hiss!"
The surrounding onlookers gasped. This guy actually dared to kill without hesitation, like a bloodthirsty mad tiger.
"You..." Chu Yushan's eyes widened with rage, his pupils about to split. He roared, "You dare to kill my subordinate? You're seeking death!"
As he spoke, Chu Yushan surged towards Zhou Yan, unleashing all his powerful primal energy. A fist radiance condensed, emitting a dazzling white light and striking fiercely at Zhou Yan.
"What if I kill you?" Zhou Yan snorted disdainfully, flicking his sleeve. Surging fire-attribute primal energy erupted, forming a giant fiery python that tore and lunged, instantly devouring Chu Yushan's fist radiance. The fiery python surged out and, in an instant, swallowed Chu Yushan.
"Bang!"
Under the fearsome fiery python, Chu Yushan's body exploded, blood mist scattering, a gruesome sight with no remains left.
"Hiss!"
The surrounding onlookers were dumbfounded. Chu Yushan was dead.
Chu Yushan's subordinates turned pale, their hearts pounding. That fiery python was too terrifying. Under that formidable aura, they all felt a tremor in their hearts.
"The Lord is mighty."
"Brother Zhou Yan is mighty and domineering."
Behind Zhou Yan, shouts of excitement erupted from the Zhou Family Army. This scene invigorated and thrilled them.
"Chu Yushan is dead, this..."
All the surrounding onlookers were dumbfounded and gaping.
"So cool!"
From afar, Su Yi, who was in the crowd, was also shocked.
What Zhou Yan had just displayed was the Barbarian Desolation Demonic Art, the Three Thousand Barbarian Desolation Fingers, with astonishing power.
Zhou Yan scanned the surroundings with a calm gaze and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to touch my brother? Step forward, and I'll deal with you all!"
"This..."
The surrounding onlookers were struck dumb with fear and dared not say a word. Chu Yushan and Zhao Qiankun, who had teamed up, were easily killed. How could they dare to step forward, let alone with such a formidable helper?
Zhou Yan's lips curved into a sinister arc. He looked around and said lightly, "Since no one is coming forward, I will leave."
Zhou Yan left with the Zhou Family Army. Only then did the surrounding onlookers breathe a sigh of relief.
"So strong!"
Someone in the crowd sighed, and their eyes flickered. "This person must be a powerful figure within the dynasty, perhaps one of the top figures."
"It seems the Chu family is in trouble this time. Chu Yushan of the Chu family dared to injure someone within the city. This is asking for trouble."
In the crowd, some older figures were discussing animatedly.
"Chu Yushan is finished. Although he has connections, this kind of person is someone you can't afford to offend. There are plenty of people with connections in the dynasty."
"I heard that this Chu Yushan is the younger brother of Chu Yunfei, and is considered a distant relative of the royal family."
"Chu Yushan usually acts domineeringly. Today, he has finally kicked an iron plate. However, this brat is also quite brutal, actually killing Chu Yushan outright."
"Hush, speak softly."
Chu Yushan was carried into the great hall. At this moment, Chu Yunfei sat in the main seat, dressed in a splendid robe, handsome and extraordinary, with a hint of arrogance in his demeanor. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Yushan, how is it? Have you found that fellow?"
Chu Yushan's gaze darkened, and he said hatefully, "Second Uncle, he escaped."
"What!" Chu Yunfei heard this and suddenly stood up, his eyes gleaming. He asked, "What is his name?"
