"Heh heh... you thought you had me, didn't you?"
Zhou Yan grinned coldly, his gaze mocking.
"What do you mean?"
The black-robed man's brow furrowed as he said in a deep voice.
"Your poison only temporarily suppressed my poisonous gas, it wasn't fatal."
Zhou Yan spoke indifferently, killing intent surging in his eyes.
"And, I have two other poisons on me."
"These two poisons were specially researched by me. Even a Divine King at the sixth realm would die if they took them."
At this point, Zhou Yan paused, looking at the black-robed man with a hint of disdain in his eyes. "And you, you're just trash at the fourth realm of Divine King, and you dare to fight me?"
"Heh heh!"
The black-robed man's face changed drastically, and he sneered, "I'd like to see how long you can be so arrogant!"
"After you die of poisoning, you'll know who the real trash is!"
"You're wrong!"
Zhou Yan walked slowly, a chilling smile curving his lips, "You are indeed stronger than me, but my strength is far from what it appears to be."
A terrifying aura emanated from him.
Then, Zhou Yan threw a punch, as powerful and fierce as a mountain collapsing and the sea roaring.
"Bang!"
With a loud explosion, the black-robed man was sent flying by this punch, his chest caved in, several ribs were broken, and he fell far away.
"Ah... ptooey!"
The black-robed man spat out a mouthful of dark blood, in extreme pain, and looked at Zhou Yan with venomous eyes.
"You..."
The black-robed man felt an extreme sense of danger in his heart.
Zhou Yan's combat power was even more terrifying than he had imagined!
While his poison could restrain Zhou Yan, it couldn't stop Zhou Yan's resistance.
Therefore, when Zhou Yan displayed his peerless fighting strength, the black-robed man immediately panicked.
Instead of seizing the opportunity to escape, he wanted to flee from Zhou Yan's attack range.
Unfortunately, this idea was too foolish and destined to be futile.
"I advise you not to move."
Zhou Yan moved, walking step by step towards the black-robed man.
"Otherwise, I'll let you know the price of enraging me."
As he spoke, Zhou Yan's aura became increasingly sharp.
His eyes were cold, like the arrival of death, making the black-robed man's heart palpitate.
"Huff, huff..."
The black-robed man panted rapidly, sweat dripping from his forehead, his face pale, and his heart beating faster.
He knew that Zhou Yan was serious!
"Zhou Yan, what are you doing? We are fellow disciples."
The black-robed man stared intently at Zhou Yan, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "If you kill me, the Sect Master will never let you go."
"Heh heh!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yan sneered disdainfully, "Do you think this group of trash can threaten me?"
"Since I, Zhou Yan, have come here today, I never intended to leave alive."
"If you kill me, you won't live either," the black-robed man trembled and continued, "I am the direct disciple of 'Poison King'. If you kill me, you will be opposing the Poison King Hall, and the Poison King Hall will never let it go."
"Who is the Poison King Hall?"
Zhou Yan pouted dismissively, "Just a piece of trash. If I kill you, I'll be acting on behalf of heaven!"
"You... you..."
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, the black-robed man trembled with anger.
The Poison King was his proudest reliance.
Yet, in Zhou Yan's mouth, he was reduced to trash.
"Poison King? Heh heh, he's not worth mentioning."
Zhou Yan shrugged, utterly unconcerned.
In his previous life, he had annihilated the Poison King Hall, slaughtering the entire sect, leaving no one alive.
His master, even, had his head paraded!
From that moment on, he vowed to become the most powerful being in the Ten Thousand Nations Territory.
The Poison King Hall? Not worth a mention!
"Damn it, why is this kid so arrogant? He dares to disdain the Poison King Hall?"
At this moment, the black-robed man's expression was extremely grim, and he wished he could rush forward and beat Zhou Yan to a pulp.
"Hmph!"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and his eyes flickered, a cruel smile appearing on his lips.
"Zhou Yan, since you're courting death, don't blame me."
After saying this, the black-robed man picked up a jade bottle and smashed its cap open.
Boom!
Immediately, a pungent, fishy smell spread, making one feel nauseous.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At the same time, three poisonous dragons shot out from the air, creating sonic booms.
"Get lost!"
Zhou Yan reacted swiftly, grabbing a teacup from the table and throwing it at the three poisonous dragons.
Bang bang bang!
The teacup shattered, turning into a rain of glass shards.
"Crack, crack..."
The three poisonous dragons were instantly cut into pieces by the glass shards and disappeared.
"What!?"
"He actually blocked it?"
The black-robed man's eyes widened in shock.
The glass shards just now were infused with potent poison. Ordinary Divine King realm cultivators would die within half a second of touching them.
Yet, Zhou Yan not only blocked them but also destroyed the glass shards without sustaining any harm.
"En?"
Suddenly, the black-robed man's expression changed slightly.
Zhou Yan's aura seemed to have strengthened!
"Could it be... you're refining my poison?"
The black-robed man was horrified and looked at Zhou Yan in disbelief.
His poison was exceptionally potent. Even a tiny amount would be fatal to ordinary people.
"Unbelievable!"
The black-robed man was shocked internally. "What kind of incredible cultivation technique has this guy practiced to be able to refine poison?"
"Never mind, I'll kill him first!"
The black-robed man took a deep breath, his gaze fierce and ruthless, "After I kill you, I'll study this technique slowly."
Whoosh!
With that, the black-robed man turned, his figure flashing as he swiftly moved towards the outside of the secret chamber.
"Trying to run? Too late."
A cold sneer appeared on Zhou Yan's lips.
"Hum!"
Then, Zhou Yan reached out, his hand transforming into a claw, snatching through the air and instantly gripping the black-robed man's neck.
"You..."
The black-robed man's face was filled with terror, and he cried out in panic, "Zhou Yan, are you crazy?"
"I'm telling you, I am a direct disciple of the Poison King Hall."
"If you kill me, the Poison King Hall will never forgive you!"
The black-robed man was scared out of his wits and struggled desperately, but it was all in vain. He was held by the neck by Zhou Yan, suspended in mid-air, unable to move.
"Poison King?"
Zhou Yan chuckled, "A mere nobody, and he dares to call himself king?"
"You... you dare to insult the Poison King!"
The black-robed man was furious and resentful, "The strength of the Poison King Hall far exceeds your imagination. Even in Qingyang City, no one dares to provoke the Poison King Hall!"
"Moreover, the Poison King Hall is backed by the imperial family, with immense power."
"If you kill me, you will be opposing the imperial family."
"At that time, even if you have peerless talent, won't you still die?"
"Oh? The imperial family?"
Zhou Yan's brow furrowed, and he asked, "The Huangfu family?"
"Exactly."
The black-robed man snorted, "The Huangfu family is the second largest powerful clan in Qingyang Prefecture, with profound strength and countless experts."
"If you dare to kill me, no matter who helps you, they won't be able to save you!"
