Qin Batian's face was also filled with anger. He had not expected this Zhou Yan to be so troublesome; they were completely unable to do anything to him!
Without daring to delay, Qin Batian quickly fled into the distance.
He knew that if the other party got too close, he would be in real danger.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Qin Batian was about to escape, the long spear appeared out of nowhere, piercing through the void and severing him at the waist. Then, a terrifying devouring force erupted from the spear tip, tearing at him ferociously, making his body unable to withstand it.
"Bang!"
Qin Batian crashed to the ground, blood gushing everywhere.
"Pfft!"
Numerous wounds appeared on Qin Batian's body, and blood flowed from them.
Qin Batian's face turned pale. He hadn't expected his injuries to be so severe, and they were still worsening.
"Zhou Yan, I'll fight you to the death!"
Qin Batian's eyes turned red. He knew that he couldn't back down now; if he retreated, the Qin family would be utterly disgraced!
Therefore, Qin Batian channeled his true essence to its peak, and then his body shot towards Zhou Yan, his fists raining down on Zhou Yan with a whistling sound.
"Shatter!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yan sneered and swung the Thunder Emperor Spear.
A bolt of lightning tore through the air and slammed into the fist energy.
"Boom!"
The two attacks collided, and Qin Batian felt a terrifying force surge into his body, causing his bones to crack.
"Ah!"
In excruciating pain, Qin Batian's body was sent flying back again.
"Pfft!"
At this moment, a brilliant golden light erupted from the tip of Zhou Yan's spear once more.
"Boom!"
This golden beam of light pierced directly through Qin Batian's chest.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, Qin Batian's body was sent flying backward.
His heart had stopped beating at that instant.
At this moment, Qin Batian's eyes widened as he looked at Zhou Yan in the distance, as if trying to ask what was going on!
"Your life is mine to take!"
Looking at Qin Batian lying on the ground, a mocking smile curled on Zhou Yan's lips. He then clenched his hand, and a spiritual pill emitting a deep, dark glow appeared in his palm.
The pill was purple-gold in color, and its pure medicinal power even made Zhou Yan involuntarily take a deep breath.
He could feel that this pill was even stronger than the one he had taken. A pill of this caliber was truly a rarity.
"This is a ninth-grade Saint Pill, 'Condensing Spirit Pill'!"
Zhou Yan's eyes narrowed, and he then handed the Condensing Spirit Pill to Xiao Yuer beside him: "Take it. Your injuries should recover soon."
Xiao Yuer nodded, took the Condensing Spirit Pill, and swallowed it. Then, Zhou Yan's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.
"Hoo!"
Zhou Yan was gone, and the people around him finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This battle had been thrilling; they had nearly died here.
Although their clansmen were ultimately unharmed, they had still suffered considerable injuries.
"Father, what do we do?"
At this moment, Qin Batian and the others were all filled with terror, gazing at Zhou Yan in the distance.
They had not expected Zhou Yan's strength to become so terrifying; such power was completely beyond their imagination.
"Flee!"
Qin Batian took a deep breath, then said through gritted teeth: "Our Qin family is considered a righteous sect in Tianwu Royal City. How can we fight against a demon like that?"
Hearing this, the Qin family members all nodded silently, and then they each unleashed their secret techniques, attempting to escape.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Zhou Yan let out a cold roar and thrust the Thunder Emperor Spear out again.
Instantly, a thunderous flower materialized out of thin air and shot out fiercely, piercing through several afterimages and impaling Qin Batian's body.
"Pfft!"
A low sound echoed, and Qin Batian's body slowly plummeted from the sky.
"Bang!"
The moment he hit the ground, Qin Batian's body exploded, turning into a mist of blood.
Looking at the cloud of blood mist, Zhou Yan's expression turned grim.
Because Qin Batian's strength had reached the early Heavenly Gang realm, a whole level higher than him.
"This is a huge loss this time!"
Zhou Yan sighed inwardly. He hadn't expected that simply killing Qin Batian, who was in the late Heavenly Gang realm, would cost him a seventh-grade pill, and he couldn't preserve it perfectly either. Otherwise, Qin Batian would have definitely counterattacked.
However, he wasn't worried because he had other trump cards.
He still had a trump card within him that he hadn't unleashed.
This trump card could help him withstand any attack, including attacks from warriors of the same cultivation level!
Moreover, the most important thing was that Zhou Yan now had the confidence to contend even with a mid-stage Heavenly Gang realm expert.
Of course, this trump card required extremely precious medicinal ingredients, and these ingredients had to be heavenly treasures containing the power of natural laws; otherwise, he couldn't refine it.
"As expected of a ninth-grade Saint Pill; it could so easily obliterate Qin Batian's body. It's a pity it consumed so much."
Zhou Yan shook his head, saying with some regret.
Although Qin Batian's body had been defeated by Zhou Yan, he felt no joy. Instead, he frowned.
Because he clearly felt that the trump card within his body seemed to be gradually disappearing.
He also wanted to fully activate this trump card, but unfortunately, the consumption was too immense, and he simply couldn't afford to power it up.
...
In the sky.
After Qin Batian's body was blasted into pieces, Zhou Yan didn't linger and quickly left.
Because he also feared that Qin Batian and the others might have some backup. After all, it wouldn't be easy for a master of this level to reassemble their body.
"The Qin family has truly lost this battle."
"Let's retreat first. We'll figure out how to deal with this matter when we return to the family. However, we must also be prepared. If those people send more powerful individuals, we will suffer heavy losses. We must be vigilant!"
"Yes, let's hurry back and gather the family disciples."
"Alright!"
...
The Qin family began to retreat.
"Swish!"
A sword light flashed and intercepted several Qin family martial artists.
"It's you!"
Upon seeing who the attacker was, fury surged in Qin Batian's eyes. He then roared sternly: "Zhou Yan, you scoundrel, my Qin family will remember this day's enmity!"
