"My heavens, it's Zhou Yan! Run!"
At the sight of the figure, the disciples of Yunyan Pavilion screamed in terror, scattering like startled birds.
They didn't forget to drag Liu Feng and the others along, for they knew Zhou Yan would surely kill them.
As expected!
The next instant, a sharp, cracking whip sound tore through the air.
"Bang!"
Immediately, a figure crashed to the ground.
"I don't want to kill you. Begone!"
Zhou Yan's cold voice descended from mid-air.
Upon hearing this, Liu Feng trembled violently, his face turning deathly pale.
"Zhou Yan… Zhou Yan, how dare you injure Liu Feng!"
Liu Tianxing, the sect leader of Yunyan Pavilion, roared in fury, glaring at Zhou Yan.
Though he wished to destroy Zhou Yan and his group, he understood that Liu Feng and the others were no match for Zhou Yan, so he restrained his impulse.
Zhou Yan cast a casual glance at Liu Tianxing and stated dismissively, "These people deserved to die!"
With his words, Zhou Yan turned and walked away.
"Zhou Yan, stop right there, old man!"
Seeing this, Liu Tianxing, enraged, bellowed and pursued him.
Liu Feng and his companions' faces were ashen.
"Are we… are we truly finished?"
"We're doomed this time!"
Liu Feng and the others slumped to the ground, their expressions vacant, their eyes filled with despair.
However, just as everyone felt disheartened and prepared to close their eyes in surrender, a stern voice echoed across the heavens.
"Who told you to make a move?"
Hearing this, Liu Feng and the others snapped their heads up. They saw a handsome young man descending slowly from the horizon.
"Who… who are you?"
Liu Tianxing asked, frowning.
"Zhou Yan!"
The handsome youth replied indifferently.
"What? It's Zhou Yan!"
The disciples of Yunyan Pavilion's faces contorted, their expressions filled with utter panic.
Zhou Yan was the nightmare of the entire Yunyan Pavilion, a haunting specter they could never erase.
In the past, they, like Liu Feng and his group, had tried to provoke Zhou Yan. But they failed, ultimately being crippled by him.
Now, seeing Zhou Yan again, everyone's heart was filled with dread.
"Liu Feng, what are you waiting for? Hurry and kneel down, kowtow three times, and beg for mercy. Perhaps you might spare your lives. Otherwise, none of you will leave here alive today!"
Liu Tianxing shouted, ordering the Yunyan Pavilion disciples to prostrate themselves.
"Zhou Yan, we are willing to submit to you, to serve as your slaves and maids, and never betray you. Please spare us!"
The disciples of Yunyan Pavilion also knelt down one after another, pleading.
"Your performance is satisfactory. Since that is the case, I will spare you this once."
"Thank you, Lord Zhou Yan! Thank you, Lord Zhou Yan!"
Liu Feng and the others were overwhelmed with gratitude, repeatedly bowing their heads.
"Alright, scram! Don't let me see you again!"
"Yes, yes…"
Hearing this, Liu Feng and the others fled immediately, fearing they would suffer if they were any slower.
Zhou Yan turned to face Liu Tianxing, a mocking curve appearing on his lips. "Is this the foundation of Yunyan Pavilion? Not even worthy of being my opponent."
"Zhou Yan, don't get cocky! After you kill me, Yunyan Pavilion will surely be destroyed. Just you wait!"
"Heh, I already knew about what you're talking about!"
"What? You already knew, yet you still…"
"Hmph, not only do I know, but I personally took care of them!"
Zhou Yan's face showed a cruel smile.
"What? Zhou Yan, how dare you…"
Liu Tianxing's face changed drastically, his eyes filled with rage.
"Why wouldn't I dare?"
Zhou Yan's face displayed a playful smile:
"Not only dare, but I can make them all perish!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Tianxing turned ashen.
This fellow was powerful and ruthless.
His Yunyan Pavilion disciples probably couldn't stop this devil.
No, he couldn't let this guy continue his arrogance any longer.
He had to find help, had to deal with this fellow as soon as possible.
"I don't care! I won't allow you to continue your rampage, or I'll destroy your entire family!"
Liu Tianxing gritted his teeth.
"Oh? Is that so? Try it then?"
Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and an oppressive aura emanated from his body.
Liu Tianxing's body trembled, his face paling. This fellow was too strong, far stronger than him.
"Hmph, I'm leaving! I'm leaving!"
With that, Liu Tianxing led his men away in a sorry state.
Only after they had gone far did Zhou Yan retract his aura.
"Liu Feng, what are you still waiting for? Hurry and kowtow three times."
Liu Tianxing roared at Liu Feng and the others, his expression exceedingly fierce.
"Liu Feng, why don't you hurry and kowtow three times!"
Zhou Yan's aura had just retracted, and he roared at Liu Feng and the others, his expression extremely fierce.
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Liu Feng and the others looked troubled.
But in the end, they slowly walked towards Zhou Yan.
"Bang, bang!"
Three thuds of heads hitting the ground echoed through the sky.
Upon hearing the sound, a sinister smile spread across Liu Tianxing's face.
He thought to himself, Liu Feng, I will avenge today's humiliation!
Then, Liu Tianxing turned and walked away. He would report this matter to the sect leader and have him avenge him!
…
Meanwhile.
Zhou Yan led his group out of the cave.
On a towering ancient tree outside the valley.
Two men stood quietly.
"Big brother, has that old rascal Liu Tianxing really left?"
"He has! If you don't believe me, you can go down and see for yourself."
Hearing this, the man nodded, his form flickered, and he leaped from the ancient tree, disappearing into the forest.
Seeing this, Liu Tianxing's pupils contracted, his eyes turning red.
These were the most elite disciples of their Yunyan Pavilion, yet they had been captured and brought back by Zhou Yan with a mere flick of his wrist. This filled him with immense rage, making him want to kill.
The Yunyan Pavilion disciples behind him trembled uncontrollably, not daring to breathe.
"Liu Tianxing, this is not over! I will tear you to pieces and scatter your ashes!"
Liu Tianxing growled in a low voice.
His fists were clenched, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes bloodshot, like a rabid dog.
"Big brother, how did you know I was here?"
A short while later, the man's figure flickered back.
He approached Zhou Yan, asking in confusion.
"You are Liu Tianxing's son, Liu Feng, aren't you?"
Zhou Yan looked at the man and smiled slightly.
Upon hearing this, the man's expression froze.
Because, he had just overlooked this fact.
"Who… who are you? Why do you want to kill my father?"
A chill surged through Liu Feng's heart.
Liu Feng was Liu Tianxing's only son, holding a high position and revered in Yunyan Pavilion. But now… a strange youth suddenly appeared.
And he intended to kill his father!
How could Liu Feng bear this?
"Hmph!"
However, Zhou Yan ignored Liu Feng, staring coldly at Liu Tianxing and saying:
"Speak! What do you want? How do you intend to deal with me?"
