Finally, Zhao Tianyu was sent flying by a heavy punch from Zhou Yan, crashing onto the ground more than ten meters away.
"Pfft!"
Zhao Tianyu spat out a mouthful of blood.
He struggled to get up from the ground, his face pale as he looked at Zhou Yan, who stood there exuding immense power.
"Haha… Zhao Tianyu, you truly are a piece of trash, is this all you've got?" Zhou Yan sneered mockingly.
Zhao Tianyu clenched his fists, cursing inwardly.
Although he had managed to hold on until now through sheer willpower in the hard-fought battle, his stamina had been completely depleted.
"Heh heh! Zhao Tianyu, how is it, did I win?"
Zhou Yan walked over and kicked Zhao Tianyu, who lay on the ground, his face pale.
"Hmph!" Zhao Tianyu snorted coldly, closing his eyes, unwilling to pay him any mind.
Seeing his condition, Zhou Yan let out a couple of cold laughs. "Zhao Tianyu, since you've lost, you should keep your promise. You must leave the valley and never set foot in it again!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianyu slowly opened his eyes, looking coldly at Zhou Yan and said, "You're dreaming. Unless I die, I will never give up." Da Feng Novel Network
Zhou Yan heard Zhao Tianyu's words, chuckled, and shook his head. "Do you really think you can leave this valley? You're too naive. You have no idea how I sealed the valley. Under my watch, you actually dared to attempt to escape. You're seeking death!"
"Hmph!" Zhao Tianyu snorted disdainfully.
"Since you don't believe me, just wait. One day, you will be convinced," Zhou Yan said with a cold laugh.
"There's no point in you doing this."
Zhao Tianyu said indifferently.
"Oh, then I'll wait and see," Zhou Yan shrugged and said.
"Let's continue fighting!"
With that, Zhao Tianyu charged at Zhou Yan again, and they engaged in a fierce battle once more.
Neither Zhao Tianyu nor Zhou Yan used any skills or combat techniques. They relied entirely on their physical strength, constantly attacking each other, fighting relentlessly.
Their battle had surpassed the realm of ordinary cultivators. Their fight had touched upon the realm of Martial Saints.
Zhou Yan's strength grew with each passing moment, and Zhao Tianyu's fight became increasingly difficult.
Gradually, Zhao Tianyu was defeated.
Zhou Yan stood still, one hand behind his back, the other holding a fist-sized night-blooming pearl, playing with it.
Zhao Tianyu lay on the ground, panting, his face deathly pale, his eyes filled with deep helplessness.
"You're done for," Zhou Yan said, looking at Zhao Tianyu on the ground.
Zhao Tianyu raised his head, his eyes glaring at Zhou Yan with venom, then said, "Hmph! Zhou Yan, don't get too smug. One day, I will surpass you and become your teacher!"
Zhou Yan heard this, let out a contemptuous smile, then shook his head and said, "You have no hope in this lifetime. You are no match for me, and I can tell you, you won't get the chance. Because you are destined to be a loser, you will never surpass me. So, you will always be a loser and never have the right to negotiate with me."
"Zhou Yan…"
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zhao Tianyu trembled with rage, glaring at him with bloodshot eyes, but he couldn't say anything. In the end, he could only grind his teeth in anger. However, he did not choose to continue fighting. He knew it was impossible to defeat Zhou Yan and could only choose to concede.
"Hmph, you lost. Now, obediently scram and don't let me see you again," Zhou Yan snorted coldly and said.
Zhao Tianyu gritted his teeth, got up from the ground, and then turned to leave the valley.
As Zhao Tianyu walked towards the valley entrance, he secretly vowed in his heart that as long as there was the slightest opportunity, he would not give up. He would definitely defeat Zhou Yan and trample him under his feet, forcing him to kneel and beg for mercy!
He had to make himself stronger!
Zhao Tianyu returned to the valley and saw that all four of his subordinates had died. His heart filled with anger.
They were all experts he had spent a fortune training, but now? They were killed by Zhou Yan in a single exchange, which pained him immensely.
"Zhou Yan, I will definitely surpass you, I will definitely defeat you!"
Zhao Tianyu gritted his teeth and muttered fiercely to himself.
Zhou Yan looked in the direction Zhao Tianyu had left, a smile curving his lips.
"Heh heh, kid, now that you've lost, shouldn't you fulfill your end of the bet?"
Just then, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"Who are you?"
Zhou Yan looked at the newcomer in confusion.
The person who appeared was an extremely handsome man, but the sinister charm in his eyes made one feel a chill.
"Me? You should call me the Evil Emperor," the man said with an evil smile.
"The Evil Emperor? Are you the legendary Evil Emperor?" Zhou Yan asked in surprise.
"That's right, it's me."
The Evil Emperor nodded with a smile.
Seeing the Evil Emperor's appearance and recalling the strength he had displayed at the auction, Zhou Yan suddenly understood.
No wonder this Evil Emperor had such audacity to oppose the Heavenly Dragon Association.
It seemed this Evil Emperor was indeed a remarkable individual.
"What do you want from me? I don't have time to waste with you," Zhou Yan said.
"Heh heh, our bet isn't over yet, how can you just leave like this?" the Evil Emperor said with a smile.
"My bet is over, what else do you want from me? Are you trying to go back on your word?" Zhou Yan frowned.
"Haha, you're right, I don't intend to go back on my word, but what I want hasn't been obtained yet," the Evil Emperor said with a grin.
"What exactly do you want? I don't have time to chat nonsense with you here," Zhou Yan said impatiently.
"No, I don't want to chat here idly. I need your help with something important," the Evil Emperor said with a smile.
"What do you need my help with?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Heh heh, let's sit down and talk properly. So many people are watching."
The Evil Emperor said with a smile.
Zhou Yan thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, let's sit down and talk."
"Good, I'll take you there."
The Evil Emperor finished speaking and then led Zhou Yan away from the valley.
As the two walked towards a mountain cave, the people outside the cave parted way, looking at them with expressions of envy and jealousy. However, no one dared to obstruct them.
"Alright, my people are already waiting in that cave. Hurry in," the Evil Emperor said to Zhou Yan.
"En, good, thank you. I'll be going now." Zhou Yan cupped his hands at the Evil Emperor and then turned to leave, heading towards the cave.
