A bead shot out, transforming into a bloodline that swiftly pierced Zhou Yan's abdomen, shredding all his internal organs!
Pain flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes, his body trembling uncontrollably.
His gaze was filled with fear and despair. He knew he was truly finished this time. This guy was indeed a madman. Not only did he want to kill him, but he also wanted to destroy his physique!
This was simply too terrifying!
"Hahaha, boy, you finally know fear?! If you kneel and beg for forgiveness now, this lord might spare your life!"
Ye Haochuan roared with a sinister laugh.
"Dream on!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly.
He knew he had to persevere.
His physique had awakened, but he hadn't reached its perfect state yet. He needed to continue tempering it.
He believed that once he reached his perfect state, he would definitely be able to defeat the person before him, and even kill this Ghost Domain Ye Haochuan!
"Insolent ant!"
A frigid glint flashed in Ye Haochuan's eyes.
"Nether Ghost Fiend, come forth!"
A blood-red beam suddenly shot out, then transformed into a phantom of a Nether Ghost Fiend, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged towards Zhou Yan.
The Nether Ghost Fiends of the Ghost Domain were specifically used for soul attacks against enemies. Their method of attack was to utilize the Nether Ghost Fiends within their bodies for soul assaults!
Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes, his body shifting abruptly.
His originally human form grew to ten zhang tall, covered in dense dragon scales, his tail raised like a colossal pillar supporting the heavens, obscuring the sky and swatting away the Nether Ghost Fiend phantom!
The vast disparity was something Ye Haochuan couldn't bridge. Even though Zhou Yan hadn't fully awakened his bloodline power at this moment, his physique far surpassed that of martial artists of the same rank.
Furthermore, a faint blue flame emanated from his body, enveloping him entirely.
"What is this power?!"
Ye Haochuan's gaze sharpened.
"This is the Nether Divine Fire!"
Zhou Yan slowly uttered the four words.
"Nether Divine Fire, Nether Divine Fire..."
Ye Haochuan murmured to himself.
"So it's the legendary most sacred flame. Could it be that you also came from the Ancient World?"
"Indeed, I came from the Ancient World!"
Zhou Yan said in a deep voice.
"Who exactly are you?"
Ye Haochuan gripped his Nether Spear, his eyes fixing coldly on Zhou Yan. "To be able to activate the Nether Divine Fire, you must be from the Ancient World!"
Zhou Yan shook his head.
"You don't need to know who I am. In any case, you must die!"
Zhou Yan roared softly.
"Hmph, do you, a mere Martial King, presume to kill this lord?!"
"How will you know if you don't try!"
"Since you seek death, this lord shall grant it to you!"
Ye Haochuan, holding his Nether Spear, took a step forward.
A terrifying pressure surged from him.
"Die!"
He roared.
With a thrust of his spear, the blood-red light on the Nether Spear became even more intense, like blood-colored flames leaping and burning.
Zhou Yan's pupils contracted as he sensed this power.
"This guy, such terrifying power!"
He felt an invisible pressure, as if thousands of tons of rock were crushing his chest.
This power made it incredibly difficult for him to even move a single step.
No, he had to break through this oppressive force.
A resolute glint flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes.
He took a deep breath, his skin bulging, and a surging aura erupted from him.
This aura was like an endless ocean.
"What a terrifying aura. Is this all of your power?"
Surprise appeared in Ye Haochuan's eyes.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly.
Rumble!
The ground beneath him instantly caved in. The soil churned like waves, surging madly towards Zhou Yan.
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a colossal tsunami beast standing on its hind legs, ferocious and invincible!
"You are indeed formidable. You didn't even dodge my Nether Spear and chose to tank it head-on!"
Ye Haochuan's expression was somewhat astonished. "However, even so, you still have no chance. Your body doesn't carry the blood of the Nether race; this is merely a puppet!"
"Is that so?"
Zhou Yan grinned.
He suddenly raised his arm and punched the ground.
Immediately, the ground violently shook. A rock face, over three hundred meters thick, actually cracked and flew towards Ye Haochuan!
Ye Haochuan's brow furrowed.
He grabbed the rock and swung his Nether Spear.
"Break!"
A blood-red beam erupted from the tip of the spear.
Rumble!
The entire land began to collapse, and the surrounding space started to distort.
Bang!
The rock shattered into pieces.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yan seized this opportunity and plunged into the ground.
His speed was astonishing; he vanished from sight in the blink of an eye.
A sinister glint flickered in Ye Haochuan's eyes as he stared intently in the direction Zhou Yan had disappeared.
"This guy is definitely not simple. He absolutely cannot be allowed to leave alive!"
He said coldly.
"Damn it!"
He shook the Nether Spear in his hand again and fiercely thrust it into the ground!
Hiss!
A phantom of a Nether Ghost Fiend once again lunged towards Zhou Yan's position.
"You want to kill me, then I'll kill you too!"
Zhou Yan roared, and threw another punch!
"Boom!"
A golden fist imprint descended from the sky, striking the Nether Ghost Fiend phantom heavily.
Crack!
The Nether Ghost Fiend phantom instantly exploded, disappearing completely into the air.
Ye Haochuan's eyelids twitched. He knew that Zhou Yan had broken free.
"You can't escape!"
He snorted coldly and pursued Zhou Yan once more.
"I'd like to see where you can run!"
Ye Haochuan's figure suddenly accelerated, vanishing from sight in an instant.
On the other side, Zhou Yan was desperately fleeing into the distance.
His figure weaved through the darkness, covering dozens of kilometers with almost every movement.
This was an extremely peculiar speed.
His movement technique seemed far more mysterious than that of a phantom.
Soon, Zhou Yan had fled hundreds of kilometers away.
The aura emanating from him was growing weaker.
At this moment, a short, stout man emerged from the adjacent jungle.
"Zhou Yan, you've finally escaped!"
The man's voice was somewhat sharp, sounding like a duck's quack.
Zhou Yan turned and looked at the man. "Did you save me?"
"Nonsense, if I hadn't saved you, that Ye Haochuan would have killed you long ago!"
The short man pouted, looking dismissive.
"Why are you helping me?"
Zhou Yan asked.
"Heh heh, of course, it's because I also fancy the Nether Daughter. If you successfully kill that Ye Haochuan, perhaps I'll bestow upon you a treasure, or grant you power that will never fade!"
The man licked his lips, speaking with a covetous expression.
