However, the strength of those two individuals was indeed formidable.
Especially the blue-robed young man in the green robe, who was comparable to a half-step God King, possessing immense power.
Although Zhou Yan's strength was considerable, facing martial artists of this caliber, he found himself struggling, forced to constantly evade.
"Hmph, no matter how strong you are, what can you do to me? We are not from the Black Dragon Sect. If you kill them, you will surely be hunted by the entire Azure Cloud Sect. By then, you won't be able to escape even if you had wings."
The blue-robed young man in the green robe said sinisterly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan's brow furrowed, a hint of doubt surfacing in his mind. These youths were not disciples of the Black Dragon Sect?
Could it be that the people of the Black Dragon Sect were unaware of this matter?
"Who exactly are you? Why are you appearing within the Azure Cloud Mountain Range?"
The blue-robed young man asked.
"I am an alchemist."
Zhou Yan said indifferently.
"An alchemist? Haha, you must be joking. The status of alchemists is extremely lowly throughout the entire Eastern Domain. Even God King realm experts are unwilling to become alchemists!"
The young man in the green robe sneered.
"I am a blacksmith."
Zhou Yan continued.
Hearing this, the blue-robed young man's expression froze.
"You are a blacksmith? The difference between an alchemist and a blacksmith is indeed vast. I've heard that alchemists cannot forge, and blacksmiths have an even more lowly status, much like your own, being merely a pill refiner."
The young man in the green robe taunted.
"Indeed!"
"Your status is not even worth a single hair on my head!"
Zhou Yan retorted without courtesy.
"Bastard, how dare you insult us blacksmiths! You are seeking death!"
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, the two youths in green robes were utterly enraged. They immediately unleashed their magical treasures and attacked Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's expression remained calm, showing no signs of retreat.
He flipped his palm, and a pill appeared in his hand.
The next moment, he lightly tossed the pill.
The pill transformed into a ball of light and vanished.
A cold arc formed on Zhou Yan's lips, and then he slammed his right palm down fiercely.
Instantly, a massive palm print materialized, carrying terrifying might, and struck directly at the two youths.
Boom boom!
Loud explosions reverberated.
The two youths were sent flying, spitting blood, their spirits withered, and their faces ashen.
Their physical bodies had been shattered by Zhou Yan's palm strike.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan was also startled.
Although his cultivation had reached the early God King stage, he had not truly broken through to the mid God King stage. He was far from being able to kill a late God King expert with a single punch.
"How about that? Do you have anything to say now?"
Zhou Yan sneered.
"You... you..."
The blue-robed young man stared at Zhou Yan in horror.
At this moment, he regretted his actions immensely.
If they had known his strength far exceeded their expectations, they would have fled directly and never entangled with him.
But now, it was too late for regrets.
Because his primordial spirit had already dissipated, rendering him unable to control his own body.
"Haha!"
"Haha!"
Zhou Yan laughed heartily, his eyes filled with mockery.
He grabbed the young man in the green robe by the neck and lifted him.
The young man in green was immediately terrified.
He quickly shouted, "Young brother, we were blind and offended you. I hope you will forgive us this time out of consideration for our fellow disciples!"
"Forgive you? It's already a great favor that you didn't kill me!"
"I will not hold this against you out of respect for my master, otherwise, I would have slapped you to death!"
Zhou Yan reprimanded sternly.
"Young brother, your words are a bit harsh. We were acting under orders, and we truly did not know your cultivation had reached the late God King stage!"
The young man in blue pleaded desperately.
Zhou Yan shook his head, "Since you are not from the Black Dragon Sect, I will spare you!"
With that, he released his grip and let the two men go.
"Thank you for your great kindness, young brother!"
The two men cupped their fists in gratitude.
"Scram! Don't bother me again!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly, then walked directly towards the cave.
He had to find his master quickly.
"You stop right there!"
"How dare you humiliate us like this! I will make you pay the price!"
The young man in the green robe gritted his teeth, his anger reaching a boiling point.
Zhou Yan's footsteps paused slightly, then he slowly turned around, his expression utterly ice-cold. "Is that so? Then try it. Let's see how I deal with you?"
"You..."
"Kid, how dare you speak to us like that!"
"We advise you to surrender obediently, otherwise, we have ten thousand ways to make your life worse than death!"
The two youths in green robes sneered repeatedly, their eyes filled with malice.
"You don't need to talk nonsense. Come at me if you have the guts."
"Hmph, since you refuse to repent, don't blame us for resorting to force!"
"Aren't you an alchemist? I'd like to see how skilled your alchemy is!"
The blue-robed young man sneered and charged towards Zhou Yan, his body radiating a dense aura of killing intent.
The other two youths in green robes immediately surged towards Zhou Yan, encircling him.
Around them, the wind and clouds shifted, and killing intent soared.
Zhou Yan's expression turned instantly cold.
"Come!"
Zhou Yan snorted, took a step forward, and charged at the four of them.
Immediately, violent energy fluctuations spread out, sweeping across the sky like a tsunami.
Zhou Yan's fist shadows enveloped the heavens and earth, each strike filled with overbearing, destructive power.
The surrounding trees were completely pulverized, and the stones on the ground were ground into dust.
"Ah!"
"Help!"
"How is this possible..."
The four youths in green robes let out tragic screams as their physical bodies were directly shattered by Zhou Yan's attacks.
"How is this possible? You... how do you possess such terrifying power?"
The blue-robed young man's face was filled with dread.
Zhou Yan snorted coldly, "Weren't you trying to kill me? Why are you scared now? Weren't you very arrogant just now?"
The blue-robed young man's face was pale, and his heart was filled with regret.
He had initially thought the opponent was just an ordinary body cultivator and had not taken him seriously. But who could have imagined that his combat power would be far greater than that of a mid God King, or even an early God King!
"You..."
The blue-robed young man hesitated, unsure how to explain.
"No matter what, I am a disciple of the Black Dragon Sect. If you dare to deal with me, you are making an enemy of the entire Black Dragon Sect!"
"I will remember today's debt!"
Zhou Yan sneered.
The blue-robed young man's pupils contracted violently, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.
"Not good!"
"He's going to burn his primordial spirit!"
Zhou Yan's heart startled, and he quickly attacked the blue-robed young man.
"You think self-destruction is that easy!"
"Die for me!"
Zhou Yan's eyes flashed with a chilling glint as he punched the blue-robed young man's chest, sending him flying backward and smashing into a mountain peak.
