"What? Ye Feng?!"
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zhou Xuandao was slightly stunned, then reacted and shouted, "You mean that little beast? Who does he think he is, to be worthy of my grandson's death?!"
"Heh, if he's not worth our grandson's death, then let us end his life!"
Zhou Yan grinned, and then a terrifying killing intent surged out from his body.
At that moment, it was as if billions of sharp blades were stimulating his soul, causing every hair on his body to stand on end, and an overwhelming sense of dread filled his heart.
"You... what do you want to do?!"
Seeing Zhou Yan's terrifying gaze, Zhou Xuandao's face turned pale with fright, and he yelled with a trembling voice.
"Heh heh, that depends on your choice."
Zhou Yan gave a sinister smile, extended his hand, and directly grabbed Zhou Xuandao's neck, then gave it a hard twist.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound echoed, and Zhou Xuandao fell directly to the ground, unconscious.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly, waved his hand, and put Zhou Xuandao into his storage ring. Then, his figure flickered and he disappeared from the spot.
As Zhou Yan left, the clan members around the Zhou Xuandao Hall looked at him with a deep sense of fear spreading in their eyes.
...
At the same time, on a barren land not far from the Zhou Xuandao Hall.
"Daoist Zhou Xuandao, you've finally appeared. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Zhou Yan's figure suddenly appeared on the barren land and looked towards the Zhou Xuandao Hall, a mocking curve rising at the corner of his mouth.
"Heh heh, I thought you wouldn't come."
On the roof of the Zhou Xuandao Hall, an old man with white hair and beard sat there, his eyes closed. Hearing Zhou Yan's voice, he slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of mockery. "Zhou Yan, do you think you can escape?"
"Daoist Zhou Xuandao, what do you mean by that?"
"Are you saying you want to keep me here?"
Zhou Yan's eyes darted around, and he said coldly, "I wonder how Daoist plans to keep me?"
"Haha, Zhou Yan, my Zhou Xuandao Hall is not that simple!"
Daoist Zhou Xuandao stood up, a confident smile on his face. "Although our Zhou family is only a second-rate family in the Eastern Domain, you must understand that among the third-rate families, our Zhou family still ranks among the best."
"So, do you think our Zhou family really can't do anything to you?"
"Indeed, our Zhou family has many powerful individuals, and even some reclusive masters."
"But do you really think we would pit them against you?"
Hearing Zhou Xuandao's words, Zhou Yan's brow furrowed.
Indeed, the Zhou Xuandao Hall did not need to involve others, because in the eyes of those reclusive masters, Zhou Yan was nothing.
However, those reclusive masters included two cultivators in the Gui Xu realm!
"Heh heh, do you think those reclusive masters will help you?"
Daoist Zhou Xuandao sneered, "In our Zhou family, there are no emotions to speak of. If you don't want to die a miserable death, you'd better surrender quickly, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Daoist Zhou Xuandao, do you really think those reclusive masters will help you?"
Zhou Yan's mouth curved slightly, his smile becoming brighter. "I'd like to see how those reclusive masters will help you!"
"Hmph, you're refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"
Seeing Zhou Yan's arrogant demeanor, Daoist Zhou Xuandao was amused to the point of anger.
He clearly remembered that his own good-for-nothing grandson had been severely injured by Zhou Yan and his fate was uncertain.
Moreover, his grandson had been killed by Ye Feng.
And now, this Zhou Yan dared to be so arrogant, did he really think he was the patriarch of the Zhou family?
"Zhou Yan, since you are stubborn and unrepentant, then today is your day of death!"
A terrifying fluctuation erupted from Zhou Xuandao's body.
As his foot stomped on the ground, the ground instantly cracked.
"Boom!"
A massive shockwave spread out, and the surrounding space trembled violently, as if it were on the verge of collapse at any moment.
"This Daoist Zhou Xuandao is indeed formidable!"
Feeling the immense power of this aura, Ye Feng couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hmph, Zhou Yan, do you think you're great just because you're the patriarch of the Zhou family? Today, I will let you taste despair!"
Daoist Zhou Xuandao let out an angry snort, then clenched his right hand, and a brilliant ball of light appeared. The terrifying aura emanating from it caused all the surrounding clan members to change their expressions.
"This is... the Zhou family's heirloom treasure!"
Seeing the ball of light in Daoist Zhou Xuandao's hand, everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
The heirloom treasure was a holy artifact, the Zhou family's most powerful offensive treasure, and its power was extremely terrifying.
Years ago, when the ancestor of the Zhou family was cultivating, he unfortunately encountered a heavenly tribulation and almost perished.
After that incident, he benefited from misfortune and obtained this heirloom treasure.
The heirloom treasure possessed the formidable ability to suppress the void and suppress all things.
Zhou Xuandao's body was covered in a dazzling golden light. This was the Zhou family's Saint-level secret technique, the Zhou family's heirloom treasure, the Vajra Shield!
The clan members, feeling the aura emanating from Daoist Zhou Xuandao, knew that he was prepared to risk the damage to his primordial spirit to kill Zhou Yan.
"Zhou Yan, today, I will let you taste the power of our Zhou family's heirloom treasure!"
Daoist Zhou Xuandao's voice boomed like rolling thunder, shaking the surroundings.
And as Daoist Zhou Xuandao finished speaking, a terrifying beam of light descended from the sky, fiercely bombarding Zhou Yan.
"The Zhou family's heirloom treasure is indeed powerful, but I, Zhou Yan, am not a soft persimmon to be slaughtered at will!"
Feeling the terrifying power of the beam of light descending from the sky, Zhou Yan snorted coldly, and then his figure retreated rapidly.
"Swish!"
In the next moment, Zhou Yan's figure appeared hundreds of meters away. At the same time, a sharp sword energy burst out from his body, cutting through the air.
"Shuā!"
As the sword energy sliced through space, the sword light transformed into a bolt of lightning and fiercely hacked towards the beam of light.
"Rumble!"
With a low impact sound, the golden beam of light was instantly shattered.
Seeing his move so easily broken, Daoist Zhou Xuandao's expression changed.
