"Heh, get up! I know what you've come to see me about, but first, tell me, why did you chase after Lin Tian?"
Yun Tianzun said, sitting on the stone bench, waiting for Zhou Yan's reply.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan explained that Zhou Ying had attempted to assassinate him to Yun Tianzun.
"So that's how it is! You did well this time, leave those people to me to handle!" Yun Tianzun said with a slight smile.
Zhou Yan bowed slightly, "Then I shall take my leave!"
After speaking, Zhou Yan flew straight down.
"Zhou Yan, over the years, you've put in a lot of effort to deal with Lin Tian, and you almost died at his hands!" Yun Tianzun suddenly called out.
"Yun Tianzun, I have always wanted revenge!" Zhou Yan said firmly.
"Haha, good, I like your bold and responsible character. I also know the hardships you've endured these past few years. However, you must understand that the strongest person in the Tianfeng Empire is merely a mortal, not worth mentioning. He only dares to challenge me because he has the Tianfeng Empire's protection. Otherwise, do you think he truly deserves to be the strongest based on his own capabilities?"
Yun Tianzun said indifferently, his eyes filled with arrogance and disdain.
"Then who do you think is stronger, Yun Tianzun?" Zhou Yan asked.
Yun Tianzun shook his head and said with certainty, "Do I even need to ask? It's naturally the strongest person in the Tianfeng Empire, Yun Tianzun!"
"And what if I want to challenge Yun Tianzun?" Zhou Yan asked.
Yun Tianzun was stunned for a moment, then said, "Are you crazy?"
Zhou Yan smiled slightly, "I'm not crazy, I'm just unwilling to accept this!"
"Hmph, then take your unwillingness and go challenge Yun Tianzun! However, you must know that your strength is far from Yun Tianzun's match. He possesses a congenital spiritual body, making him far more powerful than ordinary cultivators!"
Yun Tianzun's tone was full of confidence, as if he were Yun Tianzun himself.
"I believe that although Yun Tianzun's strength is great, he still cannot contend with me," Zhou Yan said with a slight smile, then flew off into the distance.
"Good lad, I want to see how you will contend with me!" Yun Tianzun snorted coldly, then stood up and pursued Zhou Yan.
Yun Tianzun's speed was astonishing; in just a few breaths, he caught up to Zhou Yan.
"Brother Lin, I've heard that this Yun Tianzun is very powerful, and his strength has even surpassed the Spirit Saint realm, reaching the demigod stage. Are you sure you can defeat him?" Yun Tianzun asked.
"How will we know if we don't try?" Zhou Yan said calmly, "Besides, I'm confident I can defeat him!"
"Since Brother Lin is so confident, then I'll accompany you for a good time. I hope you won't be scared later, haha!" Yun Tianzun laughed heartily, then flew towards the mountain cave, beginning to set up a formation.
Lin Tian frowned upon seeing Yun Tianzun's actions, and then quickly rushed towards the mountain cave.
"Zhou Yan, do you think you can provoke Yun Tianzun with your current strength?" Yun Tianzun sneered coldly upon seeing Lin Tian's move, "You truly don't understand yourself. Yun Tianzun's strength has reached the peak of the Unity of Heaven and Man. Even a Celestial Immortal might not be his match! You are overestimating yourself!"
"Yun Tianzun is indeed powerful, but he is not a god or an immortal, is he?" Zhou Yan said with a smile.
"What do you mean by that?" Yun Tianzun asked, slightly angered.
Zhou Yan smiled, "It's very simple. Aren't you a god or an immortal? Then let's fight. If I lose, I will willingly submit to you!"
Yun Tianzun sneered, "Hmph, as the dignified royalty of the Tianfeng Empire, why would I fight with a humble person like you? If you want to fight, then fight, but don't come crying if you lose!"
"Heh, you can rest assured about that. Even if I lose, I won't cry, after all, I'm not a coward who clings to life!" Zhou Yan said with a cold smile.
"Since you insist, I will agree. However, don't blame me for not warning you; don't cry then, or I will look down on you."
"Rest assured, since you want to fight, I will accompany you to the end!" Zhou Yan said.
"Good!"
Yun Tianzun nodded, then drew his sword and pointed it at Zhou Yan.
"Then let me witness Yun Tianzun's strength!" Zhou Yan cupped his hands slightly and then attacked Yun Tianzun.
Zhou Yan's movements were extremely fast, and his swordsmanship was incredibly cunning and peculiar.
With every swing of his sword, a trace of sword intent emerged.
This was a domineering and powerful sword technique, possessing immense might and intricate, challenging moves.
This also resulted in his formidable strength.
"Your swordsmanship is quite exquisite!" Yun Tianzun praised, but he showed no fear.
The two then engaged in a fierce battle. After a period of fighting, Zhou Yan's strength did not falter; instead, he fought Yun Tianzun to a draw.
Zhou Yan's strength was indeed remarkable, managing to fight Yun Tianzun to a stalemate.
Yun Tianzun's expression changed slightly; he had not expected Zhou Yan to be so strong.
"Yun Tianzun, I think you're just showing off. Use whatever abilities you have!" Zhou Yan said with a smile, his eyes full of confidence.
"Hmph, you are not worthy of me using my true power. Today, I will teach you a lesson and show you that there is always someone better!" Yun Tianzun shouted coldly, then began a furious offensive.
Instantly, the entire mountain peak was filled with the glint of swords and the flash of sabers. Both of their powers erupted, and they fought fiercely.
Meanwhile, Lin Tian, watching the entire battle from a distance, curved his lips into a slight smile.
"Not bad! It seems I underestimated you; I didn't expect you to be so formidable!" Yun Tianzun said, his face grim.
"Yun Tianzun, since you are so confident, let's continue to fight!" Zhou Yan said with a smile, then charged forward again.
"Good! Since that's the case, I won't hold back!" Yun Tianzun roared and unleashed his full power.
The two exchanged another barrage of attacks, and for a time, the entire space was covered by them.
Rumble...
Constant explosions echoed as their figures intertwined, each unleashing an extremely powerful martial skill. Every strike possessed the power to destroy mountains.
Boom...
The roar of thunder reverberated through the sky as their figures crisscrossed, colliding repeatedly in the air.
Before long, cracks appeared in the void, as if it were on the verge of collapse.
Boom...
The two figures separated, standing their ground.
"You lost!" Yun Tianzun said calmly.
Zhou Yan sneered, "I didn't expect you, Yun Tianzun, to be so easily defeated. It seems I underestimated you too much before!"
"You, you are truly seeking death!"
