"Otherwise? You think I'm like you useless people, only knowing how to rely on others' protection?" Zhou Yan glanced at Huangfu Qingyun disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, Huangfu Qingyun's face immediately darkened.
"Hmph, Zhou Yan, since you want to die so badly, we won't stop you. However, before you die, I'll make you taste the might of our Huangfu family."
As he spoke, Huangfu Qingyun directly drew his spiritual weapon, a long sword.
A sharp and powerful aura emanated from the sword, clearly a Xuan-grade martial soldier's weapon.
Zhou Yan's expression immediately turned serious.
In his memory, Xuan-grade warriors were comparable to Heaven-tier experts.
And now, the opponent held a Xuan-grade martial soldier's weapon, which made him feel a bit tricky.
"Whoosh~"
Just then, a sharp piercing sound suddenly erupted.
Immediately after, an arrow tore through the void, carrying a terrifying gust of wind, and shot towards Zhou Yan.
"A petty trick, and you dare to show it off?"
A hint of mockery flickered in Zhou Yan's eyes as he struck out with his right palm.
"Bang~"
With a dull thud, Zhou Yan's palm strike shattered the arrow.
At the same time, a surge of majestic and vast Yuan Qi fluctuation swept through the surroundings, causing the entire courtyard to tremble and dust to fly.
Seeing this, Huangfu Qingyun and Huangfu Yunfeng's faces changed, their eyes filled with shock.
They never expected that Zhou Yan's strength would have reached such a level.
It was simply incredible.
Even Huangfu Yunfeng hadn't anticipated that Zhou Yan would be so powerful.
This made the battle even more difficult.
"You're very good, truly very good. Zhou Yan, since you insist on opposing me, I won't mind fulfilling your wish!"
A ruthless expression flashed across Huangfu Yunfeng's face, and then he flicked his finger slightly.
In an instant, his body turned into an afterimage and he charged towards Zhou Yan.
"Bang~"
Zhou Yan's arm swung violently, and he threw a punch.
"Bang~"
With a low sound, Huangfu Yunfeng's body was sent flying backward, spitting blood.
He looked at Zhou Yan with unconcealed unwillingness and said, "Zhou Yan, I admit you have some skill, but do you really think this level is enough to defeat me? You're dreaming."
"Heh heh, is that so?" Zhou Yan sneered, "However, this is just the beginning."
"Whoosh, whoosh~"
As he spoke, his figure flickered, turning into a phantom and disappearing from his original spot. The next moment, he appeared behind Huangfu Qingyun and unleashed a punch.
Sensing the gust of wind from behind, Huangfu Qingyun's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly activated his true Yuan to defend against Zhou Yan's attack.
However, before he could even defend himself, Zhou Yan's fist had already struck his back, instantly shattering his true Yuan defense and severely injuring him, sending him crashing to the ground.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan shook his head slightly and said, "Huangfu Qingyun, you're too weak."
As his voice fell, he once again employed his ghost-like movement technique. In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Huangfu Qingyun and punched him again, this time in the chest.
"Bang~"
Another muffled sound echoed as Huangfu Qingyun's body was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground and spitting blood.
Upon witnessing this, Huangfu Yunfeng and the other elders of the Huangfu family were stunned, gazing at Zhou Yan with horrified expressions, their hearts filled with boundless fear.
"Zhou Yan, you... you dare..."
An elder from the Huangfu family couldn't help but scream, his voice filled with panic and terror.
However, before he could finish his words, Zhou Yan's foot stomped down fiercely on his chest, crushing him so hard that blood poured from his seven orifices, and he died on the spot.
Seeing this, Huangfu Yunfeng and the others gasped.
Too ruthless!
Too overbearing!
Within their Huangfu family, no one had ever dared to kill an elder of the Huangfu family in front of them!
Although these elders were merely elders within the Huangfu family, they enjoyed the highest treatment. In essence, within the Huangfu family, they were like emperors.
Yet now, Zhou Yan had killed an elder of their Huangfu family. It was as if he didn't take them seriously at all!
At this thought, the expressions of several people turned extremely grim, and boundless rage surged in their hearts.
Huangfu Yunfeng's gaze towards Zhou Yan was also filled with intense killing intent, wishing he could devour Zhou Yan alive.
Zhou Yan, however, met Huangfu Yunfeng's gaze fearlessly.
Huangfu Qingyun's gaze swept towards Huangfu Yunfeng and he said coldly, "Yunfeng, why are you still standing there? Quickly apprehend Zhou Yan and hand him over to Huangfu Yunxiao! I'd like to see who dares to stop our duel within our Huangfu family."
"Yes, Father!" Huangfu Yunfeng replied respectfully.
As he spoke, he also lunged towards Zhou Yan.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan's face displayed a disdainful smile. Then, he also threw a punch.
The fist wind howled, carrying a destructive aura, and hurtled directly towards Huangfu Yunfeng.
Upon seeing this, Huangfu Yunfeng's face changed drastically.
This was because the energy contained within this fist wind was extremely violent, enough to easily kill a cultivator at the ninth level of the Soul Refining Realm.
He had no way to resist it.
"Rumble~"
At this critical juncture, a sharp buzzing sound suddenly rang in Huangfu Yunfeng's mind, and then, the true Yuan within his body began to circulate wildly.
"Pfft~"
A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth.
Subsequently, his body exploded, turning into a mist of blood that dissipated into the air.
Huangfu Yunfeng was dead!
Zhou Yan's expression immediately turned grim.
"How is this possible? Huangfu Yunfeng is actually dead?!"
The members of the Huangfu family were all dumbfounded.
They had to remember that Huangfu Yunfeng was a core disciple of their Huangfu family!
A cultivator of this strength was only at the bottom tier within the Huangfu family, yet now he had died at Zhou Yan's hands. They simply couldn't believe it.
"Zhou Yan, I will definitely kill you."
After a long while, Huangfu Qingyun climbed up from the ground. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Zhou Yan, wishing he could tear him limb from limb, but he dared not act rashly.
After all, he was well aware of the gap in strength between himself and Zhou Yan. If he acted rashly, it would only lead to death.
"Hmph, I'll be waiting!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly, his figure flickered, and he disappeared from his original spot.
His speed was too fast; even Huangfu Qingyun and the other elders of the Huangfu family couldn't react in time.
