Speaking, a bloodthirsty smile flickered across Zhou Yan’s face. He suddenly thrust out his right hand, grabbing for Yang Jianwu’s neck.
Feeling the icy sharpness in Zhou Yan’s hand, a look of horror appeared on Yang Jianwu’s face.
He never imagined that Zhou Yan would actually want to kill him!
“Stop! If you dare to harm me, my father will never let you go!”
Yang Jianwu roared, unwilling to die, because he still wanted to live!
“Will never let me go?”
Looking at Yang Jianwu, Zhou Yan sneered repeatedly. “If your father knew you were in my hands, he’d probably want to kill me himself.”
Yang Dong, the head of the Yang family, was a formidable expert at the late Earthly realm. He was a top figure within the entire Yang family. Zhou Yan, however, was only at the early Earthly realm. The gap between them was vast.
“You…”
Upon hearing Zhou Yan’s words, Yang Jianwu was instantly speechless. He hadn’t expected Zhou Yan to dare to threaten his father, and endless rage surged within him.
However, he also knew that if he continued to tangle with Zhou Yan, he wouldn’t gain any advantage.
“Zhou Yan, I remember you!”
Gritting his teeth and leaving a harsh threat, Yang Jianwu turned and fled.
“Hmph, by the time Yang Dong arrives, you’ll already be a corpse. I’ll see what else you can be arrogant about then!”
Watching Yang Jianwu flee, Zhou Yan gave a contemptuous smile. Then, he moved his feet and quickly sped away into the distance.
Behind him, figures followed closely. Powerful aura fluctuations erupted from them, causing the surrounding space to ripple faintly.
“As expected of disciples from Tianyang Academy. Each of them ranks on the Tianyang List!”
A hint of surprise flickered through Zhou Yan’s mind.
“However, you group of nobodies, even if you combined your strength, you wouldn’t be able to stop me!”
With that thought, he quickened his pace, his aura surging even more powerfully.
Before long, Zhou Yan and the others arrived at the edge of a mountain range.
“Zhou Yan, you’d better not let me escape!”
Outside the mountain range, Yang Jianwu stared at Zhou Yan, a dark glint in his eyes.
“Yang Jianwu, you’d be wise to surrender obediently.”
Zhou Yan glanced at Yang Jianwu indifferently, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes.
“Haha, I don’t believe it. In front of your eyes, you can still kill me?”
Hearing this, a look of disdain appeared on Yang Jianwu’s face. He then turned and shouted into the mountain range, “Uncle Yang, save me! Zhou Yan wants to kill me!”
“What? Zhou Yan, what do you want to do?”
Just then, a robust voice suddenly entered Zhou Yan’s ears. Immediately, an old man in a black robe slowly walked out of the mountain range, followed by three disciples from Tianyang Academy, each exuding a powerful aura, all clearly at the early Earthly realm!
“Uncle Yang, he’s trying to kill me!”
Looking at the approaching old man in the black robe, Yang Jianwu’s eyes reddened as he pointed at Zhou Yan.
Hearing this, Zhou Yan’s expression changed.
This Yang Zhenwu, he dared not provoke. Because this person was an Earthly realm expert, and Zhou Yan was no match for him. However, the black-robed elder before him was only a Heavenly realm expert. With his early Earthly realm strength, he might have a chance to fight.
“Zhou Yan, this matter has nothing to do with me. If you want to silence him, then feel free to do so.”
The black-robed elder glanced at Zhou Yan and said coldly.
Seeing the black-robed elder’s demeanor, Zhou Yan clenched his fists, his eyes filled with madness.
However, he also knew that with his current strength, he was absolutely no match for the other party. Therefore, he did not attack.
“You few, guard here. No one is allowed to approach this valley, or you will be killed without mercy!”
The black-robed elder’s gaze sharpened, and he ordered the Tianyang Academy disciples beside him.
“Yes, sir!”
The Tianyang Academy disciples respectfully replied.
“Zhou Yan, my Yang family has indeed offended you, but I, Yang Dong, swear that this matter has nothing to do with the Yang family. My Yang family has no grievance with you, why would you kill a member of my Yang family? To speak such slanderous words, you are simply insane!”
Yang Dong looked at Zhou Yan and shouted coldly.
“Is that so? If that’s the case, then I have no reason to hold back anymore.”
Zhou Yan sneered, and then a terrifying aura swept out, transforming into a long spear that stabbed directly at Yang Dong.
“What?”
Feeling the aura rushing towards him, Yang Dong’s heart trembled, and his pupils contracted slightly.
He could clearly feel that Zhou Yan had unleashed his full strength, and it was even more terrifying than his own.
“As expected of a genius in the top thirty of the Tianyang List, you certainly have some tricks!”
This thought flashed through his mind. He stomped on the ground, and his body instantly retreated. At the same time, a long sword appeared in his hand, its tip pointed vaguely at Zhou Yan.
“However, it’s unlikely you can defeat me!”
Sensing Zhou Yan’s aura growing stronger, Yang Dong’s brow furrowed even deeper. He then flickered, wielding his long sword. Instantly, a dazzling sword light roared out, tearing through the air, carrying a world-destroying might, and blasted towards Zhou Yan.
“A petty trick.”
Zhou Yan sneered coldly. His body suddenly disappeared, as if it had merged into the void.
“Whoosh!”
A golden sword beam passed through the spot where he had stood, landing on the ground and leaving a deep pit.
“Hmm? What’s going on?”
Yang Dong’s expression suddenly changed, a look of shock and uncertainty flashing in his eyes. He hadn’t expected Zhou Yan to dodge his attack.
“How did you do that?”
Yang Dong pondered for a moment and asked.
He could clearly feel that the movement technique Zhou Yan had used seemed different from before.
“You don’t need to worry about that.”
Looking at the vigilant Yang Dong, a playful smile curled up at the corners of Zhou Yan’s mouth. “I advise you to surrender obediently and not resist futilely, otherwise, I will kill you without hesitation. Do you understand?”
A monstrous killing intent erupted from Zhou Yan. He had already decided to completely kill Yang Dong here, otherwise, there would be endless trouble!
“I understand, but do you think you can kill me?”
Yang Dong sneered.
“I don’t believe it!”
Zhou Yan’s face turned grim, and a fierce killing intent shot from his eyes.
“Since you are obstinate, then don’t blame me for taking action.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Dong suddenly strode forward, his long sword emitting a dazzling sword light, heading straight for Zhou Yan.
“Rumble~~”
Where Yang Dong’s long sword passed, the earth shook and mountains swayed. Huge cracks spread out like a spiderweb, inspiring awe.
“What powerful attacking force!”
