It was no wonder he dared to call Zhou Yan by his name, instead of master.
"Zhou Yan, let's join forces and defeat him first, then go to the Yang family treasury and take that jade pendant!" Yang Hao's expression also became solemn.
Zhou Yan's strength was indeed terrifying. If he were to escape again, both of them would be hard-pressed to survive.
"Good!"
"Just as I wish!"
Yang Hao and Zhou Yan exchanged glances and nodded in unison, their eyes revealing intense killing intent.
The two of them moved closer to each other again.
The reason they allied was not out of fear of Zhou Yan, but because the Yang family treasury contained countless precious treasures. Furthermore, Zhou Yan's status within the family was extremely special, hence the alliance.
Now, both the Yang family patriarch and Zhou Yan had sufficient reason to kill Yang Hao.
"Old Ghost Yang, today, I will show you my might!"
Zhou Yan roared, his entire being transforming into a violent tornado, sweeping in with a destructive aura.
Yang Hao's face was grim, and he did not show weakness. He retreated swiftly, unleashing his formidable combat power.
His cultivation was also at the Martial King realm.
Their cultivation levels were similar, making their battle extremely perilous under these circumstances.
A sinister smile flickered across the Yang family ancestor's lips.
Instead of retreating, the Yang family ancestor charged forward.
The Yang family ancestor's figure shot out like a sharp sword, piercing towards Yang Hao. With a flick of his long spear, he aimed directly for Yang Hao's throat.
The Yang family ancestor's target was precisely Yang Hao's Adam's apple.
Witnessing this, the onlookers cried out in shock, their faces contorting in alarm.
This move was utterly ruthless.
If he succeeded, Yang Hao's throat would undoubtedly be pierced by his spear, resulting in instant death.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yan's pupils contracted sharply, his face etched with terror.
He had not expected this old scoundrel to dare use such a venomous move against Yang Hao.
"Yang family cur, I will make your life worse than death!"
A chilling killing intent surfaced on Zhou Yan's face as he fiercely swept his black halberd.
"Rumble!"
A terrifying energy blade hurtled towards the Yang family ancestor.
"Boom!"
Their weapons collided with a deafening roar, unleashing rampant energy that caused surrounding buildings to collapse instantly, dust billowing everywhere.
"Pfft!"
Under the erosion of the energy aftermath, the Yang family ancestor's face turned pale, and he stumbled back several steps, a wisp of blood oozing from his lips.
"Zhou Yan, your strength, ultimately, has not reached the half-step Martial Emperor realm!"
The Yang family ancestor wiped the blood from his mouth, his expression cold as he spoke.
"Old dog Yang, just you wait. Your Yang family will be destroyed sooner or later," Zhou Yan's face darkened to the extreme, and he coldly retorted, "You two juniors, today is your death day. You will not get your hands on the secrets of our Yang family treasury!"
"Hahaha!"
The Yang family ancestor let out a wild laugh, "Zhou Yan, do you think you have a chance to escape now? Do you think all the Martial Emperor realm experts of our Yang family are nonexistent?"
Hearing this, Zhou Yan's eyelids twitched slightly.
"You two, what are you dawdling for? Finish it quickly!"
Zhou Yan's brow was filled with rage as he bellowed.
At his words, the Yang family brothers exchanged glances, then, one on the left and one on the right, they attacked Zhou Yan and Yang Hao again.
With their combined efforts, along with the Yang family's Martial Emperor experts, they were confident they could kill Zhou Yan and Yang Hao.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes, a mocking glint appearing in them, and said, "Old Ghost Yang, it seems you've truly exhausted all your tricks. You can't even bring out the Yang family treasury!"
"Hmph, spare the pretense, you will all die!"
The Yang family ancestor said coldly, and with a tremor of his long spear, a sharp whistling sound tore through the air, as if it could rip through the void and create a fissure.
His offensive was incredibly sharp and domineering.
"Old dog Yang, today, I will make you understand the difference between your Yang family and our Zhou family!"
Zhou Yan roared, and the vital energy within his body erupted instantly.
A mocking smile spread across the Yang family ancestor's face.
"Zhou Yan, you still want to contend with me, a foolish delusion!"
"Yang Hao, kill him!"
The Yang family ancestor shouted coldly, sweeping his long spear and knocking Zhou Yan's halberd away.
Yang Hao's figure also swiftly lunged towards Zhou Yan, his spear like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, thrusting fiercely towards Zhou Yan's throat. Just as the spear was about to pierce Zhou Yan's chest.
However, to the Yang family ancestor's shock, Zhou Yan did not dodge. He allowed the spear to pierce his body.
"Clink!"
A crisp ringing sound ensued as the spear embedded itself into Zhou Yan's flesh.
A pained expression appeared on Zhou Yan's face.
The vital energy within his body surged wildly, shaking the spear away.
"How is this possible!"
Yang Hao's eyes widened, his gaze filled with shock.
That spear strike just now was his ultimate killing blow!
Zhou Yan's physical body could actually withstand his attack?
Seeing Yang Hao's reaction, Zhou Yan let out a cold laugh.
"Old dog Yang, your attacks are only fit for me. Did you think you could harm me?"
"Old ghost Yang, die!"
Yang Hao snorted coldly. With a wave of his arm, he brandished his long spear again.
"Buzz!"
A humming sound echoed through the air as the spear, carrying a dazzling radiance, thrust towards Zhou Yan's face.
This time, the Yang family ancestor's offense was even fiercer, more overbearing.
"Boom!"
Another deafening explosion occurred as the Yang family ghost's spear collided with Zhou Yan's halberd, emitting a thunderous blast.
"Old ghost Yang, this is all you've got!" Zhou Yan said coldly.
The Yang family ghost's face turned ashen. He had never imagined that Zhou Yan could withstand his attack head-on.
Furthermore, he had knocked away his spear.
This was an utter humiliation!
"Brat, today, I will surely kill you and avenge my Yang family descendants!"
The Yang family ancestor's fury blazed.
His figure surged forward again, his palm extended, and he fiercely grabbed towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's body swayed slightly, dodging the Yang family ghost's grasp, but a shadow flickered in his eyes.
He hadn't expected the Yang family ghost's strength to be this formidable. This time, he had no way of defeating him.
His whereabouts were completely exposed, and staying here would be of no use.
"Old dog Yang, if you want to kill me, you'll have to ask me if I agree!"
"Swish!"
Zhou Yan's face turned incredibly ferocious, and dense black malevolent energy emanated from his entire body.
His hands quickly formed seals, and a stream of black mist surged from within him.
