Black flames surged, transforming into a fireball that incinerated everything.
"Hmph! A mere fire-elemental exotic art, daring to show off in front of me?"
Upon seeing the black flames, the Grandmaster expert sneered disdainfully, a look of utter mockery on his face.
"Whoosh!"
Immediately after, he forcefully channeled his true qi. With a sweep of his longsword, he unleashed a dazzling sword light that cleaved towards the ball of black flames.
"Crack!"
The sword light was sharp and invincible, instantly extinguishing the black flames.
"Hahaha, no match for me!"
The Grandmaster expert laughed heartily.
However, in the next moment, his expression drastically changed. The ball of black flames, to his surprise, exploded. The sky was filled with black flames, a vast, overwhelming tide that swept towards him.
"Not good!"
The Grandmaster expert's face turned grim.
These black flames were unpredictable and bizarre, something even he was unwilling to touch!
Without delay, he retreated rapidly, creating distance.
But he retreated quickly, and the black flames spread even faster.
Zhou Yan caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye and immediately saw the black flames engulfing him.
"Hmph!"
In the next instant, Zhou Yan let out a cold snort. He stomped his foot forcefully, executing his movement technique, and retreated with great speed.
However, the black flames came too quickly. In the blink of an eye, they surged forward and enveloped him.
"Ah..."
Zhou Yan's face contorted, and a pained roar escaped his lips.
At this moment, he felt endless black smoke invading his body, wreaking havoc.
His internal organs felt as though they were burning, causing excruciating pain.
"Damn it!"
Cold sweat beaded on Zhou Yan's forehead, his face contorted in ferocity.
"No, if this drags on, I'll surely die!"
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth, his mind racing.
He desperately circulated the "Nine Yang Overlord Body Technique." In his dan tian, his true qi surged, flowing like a mighty river, vast and powerful.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, his true qi, like a tide, surged through Zhou Yan's meridians. Wherever it passed, it expelled a stream of black mist from his body.
Then, he shot forward, directly breaking free from the range of the black flames.
"Roar!"
Seeing this, the Flood Dragon roared, baring its fangs and claws, its killing intent chilling.
"Brat, where do you think you're going!"
A Grandmaster expert roared in fury. With a sword thrust carrying the might of thunder and lightning, he fiercely attacked Zhou Yan.
"Scram!"
Zhou Yan, enraged, gripped his iron hammer. It grew with the wind, instantly expanding to the size of a house. With a rumbling tremor, it heavily smashed down upon the Grandmaster expert.
*Bang!*
A dull thud echoed. The Grandmaster expert felt as though he had been struck by lightning. He was sent flying through the air and crashed heavily to the ground.
"Pfft!"
The Grandmaster expert's face turned ashen, and he violently spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What?"
Upon witnessing this, the remaining two Grandmaster experts were stunned.
One move!
With just one move, he had instantly killed a Grandmaster realm expert!
How was this possible?
Who was this youth?
At this moment, a thought of retreat began to form in their minds.
A monstrous youth like this was a rarity even among hidden aristocratic families, capable of dominating his peers.
"You wish to leave?"
At this moment, Zhou Yan slowly stood up, his eyes cold as he surveyed everyone.
"Your Excellency, what happened today has nothing to do with you,"
One Grandmaster expert took a deep breath and said solemnly, "If you insist on interfering, do not blame us for joining forces to eliminate you!"
"Heh heh..."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan grinned, revealing a mouth full of chilling teeth.
"So what if you join forces?"
"You dream if you think you can keep me!"
With that, Zhou Yan's figure flickered, and he streaked towards the distance.
"Hmm?"
Soon, Zhou Yan stopped, a look of surprise appearing between his brows.
Standing before him were two men and one woman, three youths.
They were precisely Xu Yuanliang, Wu Peng, and Li Xuerou.
"Brother Zhou Yan, what are you doing here?"
Seeing Zhou Yan, Xu Yuanliang's expression became agitated, and he asked.
"Did you encounter that Flood Dragon just now?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan frowned and asked.
"Mmm."
Hearing this, Xu Yuanliang's expression changed slightly, then he nodded.
"It's dangerous here, quickly leave with me."
Zhou Yan advised, preparing to lead Xu Yuanliang and the others to quickly depart from this swampy area.
However, at that very moment, a violent coughing sound was heard.
It turned out to be the Grandmaster expert who had crawled up from the ground.
He staggered, appearing disheveled.
"You... *cough cough*, you're not dead?"
The Grandmaster expert looked up, his eyes fixed on Zhou Yan, his expression filled with terror.
Just now, he had been heavily injured by the Flood Dragon, his physical body severely damaged.
If not for the spiritual artifact that saved his life, he might have perished here.
Even so, his true qi was in disarray, and he had sustained minor injuries.
"I will kill you all!"
At this moment, the Grandmaster expert was furious.
He roared, slashing his sword towards Xu Yuanliang.
This time, he intended to cut off all roots and eliminate them completely, giving Zhou Yan and the others no chance to live.
After all, Zhou Yan's strength was too formidable, his potential limitless. If he were to become a martial arts master in the future, he would undoubtedly be a formidable rival.
Furthermore, Zhou Yan possessed that spiritual artifact.
If he were not to be nipped in the bud now, once he grew, he might become their nightmare.
"Swish!"
Instantly, the longsword pierced the air, tearing through the void with a sharp whistling sound.
"Brother Zhou Yan, save me!"
Sensing the fatal threat, Xu Yuanliang's soul was on the verge of escaping, and he screamed in terror.
However, just as the longsword was about to strike him.
Suddenly, a slender hand reached out, casually and effortlessly, directly catching the longsword.
*Bang!*
Then, with a sudden forceful swing, the longsword was wrenched from the Grandmaster's grip and embedded itself into the soil.
A tremendous force struck, the Grandmaster expert's body shuddered violently, as if struck by lightning. He was sent flying back several meters and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.
He looked up, staring at Zhou Yan with wide, unwilling eyes.
"You... how could you be... so powerful?"
At this moment, the Grandmaster expert swallowed hard, his face filled with terror as he spoke.
"Not only can I wield treasures, but I can also fight across realms!"
Zhou Yan said coldly, "Now, do you still want to kill me?"
Although Zhou Yan was young, he had practiced martial arts since childhood, possessing a deep foundation and formidable strength.
Moreover, he possessed a system that allowed him to fight beyond his level. These Grandmaster experts were no match for him.
Therefore, these individuals were destined to be suppressed by him!
"This..."
At this moment, the other Grandmaster expert exchanged glances, hesitation appearing on their faces.
"You guys go first!"
Just then, that Grandmaster expert suddenly spoke, a low shout escaping him, "I will hold him off to buy you time to escape!"
Upon hearing this, the other Grandmaster expert did not hesitate. He led Xu Yuanliang and the others and fled at full speed.
They all knew that the four of them were no match for Zhou Yan.
Rather than continuing to tangle with him, it was better to escape individually.
Otherwise, not only would they fail to obtain the precious medicine, but they would also lose their lives.
"Want to run?"
However, Zhou Yan let out a cold laugh. His figure flickered, transforming into an afterimage, and he instantly pursued them.
With every step he took, he unleashed astonishing power, pushing forward several dozen feet. He was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, his fists striking like mountains, immense and heavy.
A burst of fist light erupted, and blood splattered everywhere.
