"You are not worthy of knowing!"
The peerlessly beautiful woman glanced at Zhou Yan dismissively, a flicker of disgust in her eyes.
Immediately, she flipped her wrist, took out a pill, and swallowed it. After recovering a little strength, she continued to walk, heading deeper into the ancient tomb.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Yan watched the woman, his eyes darting around.
"Her aura seems to be weakening rapidly?" Da Feng Novel Network
"It seems she's badly injured. I must seize this opportunity to capture her and take her treasures."
Zhou Yan's heart stirred, and he made up his mind.
The next moment, his figure flickered, and he chased after the peerlessly beautiful woman.
As long as he could capture her and seize her treasures, his injuries could be healed.
Moreover, he would gain a great reward.
After all, the peerlessly beautiful woman before him was too powerful.
Under normal circumstances, let alone capturing her, Zhou Yan estimated he would have been scared to wet his pants and beg for mercy on his knees.
But today was a special situation, and he was unbelievably bold. Not only did he not run, but he actually pursued the peerlessly beautiful woman.
"Hmph, you're asking for death!"
The peerlessly beautiful woman snorted coldly, her eyebrows furrowing, revealing a hint of anger.
This guy was truly annoying!
Immediately, she waved her arm, and a sky full of silver needles shot out, hurtling towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan quickly waved his weapon to block.
"Bang!"
The next moment, his figure retreated rapidly, knocking down several ancient trees and almost falling to the ground.
However, he eventually stabilized his stance.
"Otherwise, when I break free later, I will definitely skin you alive and refine you into a puppet!"
Zhou Yan laughed, his gaze venomous.
"Hmph, a mere ant, trying to defy the heavens and change fate?"
The peerlessly beautiful woman's expression turned cold. "Since you are bent on this path, I shall grant your wish."
With that, her body leaped, and she lunged at Zhou Yan.
Her speed was extremely fast, and she closed in instantly.
The next moment, the peerlessly beautiful woman extended her delicate fingers and ruthlessly thrust them into Zhou Yan's shoulder.
In an instant, a surge of powerful yuan qi flowed through her delicate fingers and into Zhou Yan's body.
In a flash, Zhou Yan cried out in pain, his face contorting in agony.
At the same time, Zhou Yan wielded his saber and slashed fiercely.
Alas, he was still no match.
"Screech!"
The blade swept through, and Zhou Yan's left shoulder was instantly torn open by a ferocious gash, almost severed at the elbow.
"Crack!"
Immediately after, he was struck by the peerlessly beautiful woman's punch to the chest.
Bone-cracking sounds echoed. Zhou Yan's ribs shattered, his chest caved in, and he spat blood, falling to the ground, on the verge of death.
"Huff puff..."
Zhou Yan lay on the ground, gasping for breath, his face filled with terror.
Clearly, he had never imagined that the peerlessly beautiful woman's strength would be so terrifying.
"Kid, your cultivation is too weak. I advise you to obey, or I will make your life worse than death."
At this moment, the peerlessly beautiful woman walked over slowly and said coldly.
"You..."
Zhou Yan struggled to get up, gritting his teeth.
Although he was resentful, he had not lost his reason.
Facing such a powerful enemy, his only option was to endure.
"Hmph, it seems you're sensible!"
Seeing this, the peerlessly beautiful woman snorted coldly, then sat down cross-legged, preparing to heal her injuries.
Her injuries were serious, and if she delayed any longer, it could easily leave behind hidden dangers.
Therefore, the peerlessly beautiful woman did not leave, intending to stay for a while to quietly recuperate.
"Whoosh..."
At this moment, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he got up from the ground, tiptoed, and walked deeper into the ancient tomb.
He wanted to take this opportunity to sneak into the ancient tomb and search for opportunities.
However, the closer he got, the more shocked Zhou Yan became.
In the outer areas of the ancient tomb, the spiritual energy was thin and devoid of life.
But upon entering the tomb, the dense spiritual energy had almost condensed into mist, enveloping everything.
The air here was exceptionally fresh, the spiritual energy pure, a hundred times better than outside.
It even contained wisps of spiritual essence.
"What a good place!"
Zhou Yan's eyes were blazing with heat.
He could clearly sense that the spiritual energy here was much denser than in the outside world.
"This woman indeed had a fortuitous encounter!"
Zhou Yan's gaze was fervent, his heart filled with greed.
"Hmph, no matter who you are, if you provoke me, I'll still kill you!"
Then, Zhou Yan suppressed all distracting thoughts and walked straight ahead.
"Eh!"
However, as he stepped into the cave, he suddenly felt something was amiss.
This ancient tomb was clearly empty, yet why did he feel a chilling sensation?
It was as if a behemoth lay hidden ahead.
"Could it be that I'm overthinking?"
Zhou Yan shook his head, thinking to himself.
Not long ago, he had personally witnessed the peerlessly beautiful woman, with two puppets, brutally smash a third-tier demonic beast to death.
That kind of power was world-destroying, truly terrifying!
How could there be any danger!
Without hesitation, he quickened his pace and moved forward along the passage.
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a low growl echoed.
Then, Zhou Yan looked up.
Before him, a ferociously fierce demonic wolf appeared.
"Third-tier mid-stage demonic beast, Ironback Azure Wolf!"
Zhou Yan's pupils constricted, his expression extremely solemn.
"Roar!"
The Ironback Azure Wolf had snow-white fur that was two meters long. Its legs were thick and sturdy, like steel whips, exuding a fierce and savage aura.
Its eyes glowed with a cold, sinister light, fixed on Zhou Yan. Saliva dripped from its mouth, filled with bloodlust and killing intent.
At this moment, the Ironback Azure Wolf roared to the sky and charged forward.
"Whoosh!"
In an instant, a cold glint flashed, and a sharp claw blade tore through the air, whistling towards him.
"Not good!"
Zhou Yan's heart pounded, and he hurriedly dodged to the side.
The sharp claw missed, striking the stone wall and leaving five clear claw marks.
And at this moment, the Ironback Azure Wolf's speed increased significantly, and it lunged again.
"Get lost!"
Zhou Yan roared, wielding his saber and sweeping it out, sending the Ironback Azure Wolf flying.
"Awooo!"
The Ironback Azure Wolf yelped in pain, its body bleeding and staggering as it fell to the ground.
"Huff..."
Zhou Yan took a deep breath. That last move had consumed most of his strength, leaving him at his limit.
His heart pounded, and sweat beaded on his forehead.
"It seems my current strength is still too weak to deal with the Ironback Azure Wolf," Zhou Yan shook his head.
Originally, with his current cultivation, coupled with his martial skills, magical artifacts, talismans, and other trump cards.
He could even fight against, or even defeat and capture alive, a sixth-tier demonic beast.
The Ironback Azure Wolf was merely equivalent to an early seventh-tier demonic beast, and he was no match for it.
However, at this moment, the peerlessly beautiful woman had recovered considerably.
She stood up, a cold curve on her lips, and stared at Zhou Yan.
"Kid, are you really unwilling to surrender?"
The peerlessly beautiful woman's pretty face grew even colder.
"Heh heh..."
Zhou Yan grinned. "You want me to yield? Dream on!"
