Feeling the surging power emanating from his body, Zhou Yan's face immediately showed a strong sense of pride.
"Hmph, I don't believe that with my cultivation having increased so much, this divine lightning still can't do anything to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yan took a step forward and charged directly towards the heavens.
"Boom!"
A massive purple lightning bolt struck down fiercely, smashing onto Zhou Yan's body.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Zhou Yan's figure was instantly reduced to dust, leaving no trace behind.
"Hahahaha~"
"Daoist Tianxuan, did you think I would fear a mere four-star Grandmaster?"
"Just you wait! Soon, I will make you understand just how severe the consequences are for offending me!"
After being smashed into pieces, Zhou Yan let out a cackling laugh.
As Zhou Yan's voice faded, the sky was immediately covered with dark clouds, and thick silver lightning bolts continuously tore through the void, emitting piercing roars.
"Screech!"
In the next moment, a massive heavenly tribulation lightning bolt directly struck down towards the Tianxuan Taoist Temple.
The power of this heavenly tribulation was extremely astonishing, and its speed was incredibly fast.
"This is bad! The power of this heavenly tribulation is too great, I can't possibly resist it."
Inside a secret chamber of the Tianxuan Taoist Temple, Zhou Xuanzi's expression changed drastically.
"Damn it, how did we provoke such a powerful enemy?"
"No, I can't just sit here and wait to die."
"I must escape quickly, otherwise, I will surely perish!"
With this thought, Zhou Xuanzi's body transformed into a wisp of green smoke and fled into the distance.
His speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the void.
Tianxuan Sect, Zhou Family.
"What? This is news of Senior Brother Zhou Yan's demise?!"
"No way? Senior Brother Zhou Yan is the most outstanding disciple of our Zhou family's younger generation, and he even possessed an immortal treasure, yet he still perished?"
"Heavens, how many years has Senior Brother Zhou Yan cultivated to reach such a level? If he were given a few more years, wouldn't he be able to become a four-star Grandmaster?"
"That's right, if he could become a four-star Grandmaster, would our Zhou family have fallen to this state?"
"Alas~ This Zhou Yan was too reckless, daring to provoke someone from the Zhou family."
"Sigh! Regardless, Senior Brother Zhou Yan's strength and talent are undeniable. His demise is only due to his own foolishness, and it has nothing to do with our Zhou family."
Upon hearing this news, the members of the Zhou family all sighed.
At this moment, an old woman slowly walked out from a room.
"Patriarch, what should we do about this matter?"
This old woman was the matriarch of the Zhou family, the younger sister of Zhou Yuandao, and the only remaining seven-star Grandmaster of the Zhou family.
The moment Zhou Yan was killed, she had sensed it.
"What to do? Heh heh, naturally, we'll go and visit Zhou Yan first."
"I want to ask who sent this Zhou Yan to kill my grandson. I will definitely not let him go."
After saying this, two sharp beams of light shot out from Zhou Yuandao's eyes, appearing exceptionally cold.
Then, Zhou Yuandao's figure soared into the sky and flew towards the Tianxuan Taoist Temple.
...
"Zhou Yan, your talent is indeed very high, but you are unfortunate to have encountered me, Zhou Yan."
"This Tianxuan Taoist Temple is the residence of Daoist Tianxuan. I want to see if you have the courage to enter!"
...
Above the Tianxuan Taoist Temple, Zhou Yan hovered in the air, his face filled with a confident expression.
Beside Zhou Yan, a black rift was continuously expanding.
That was a black hole leading to the depths of the void.
And those black holes were formed when Zhou Yan cultivated the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Art, drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"Whoosh~"
Zhou Yan stomped on the rift with his foot, and then his entire body directly entered the black hole.
As Zhou Yan entered, the black hole instantly healed and disappeared.
"Swish~"
In the next moment, Zhou Yan appeared outside the Tianxuan Taoist Temple.
"Boom!"
With an explosion, Zhou Yan's figure appeared outside the Tianxuan Taoist Temple.
"Zhou Yan, you scoundrel, you're finally willing to come back?!"
Just as Zhou Yan set foot there, an enraged roar suddenly sounded.
Immediately after, a green figure appeared before Zhou Yan like a phantom.
"Junior Brother Zhou Yan?!"
Seeing Zhou Yan appear before him, Zhou Xuanzi's face showed surprise.
"Daoist Tianxuan, hello. How is your injury recovering?"
Zhou Yan's gaze swept over Zhou Xuanzi and said indifferently, "Your injury seems to have completely healed."
"Hmph, although my injuries are not completely healed, they are no longer life-threatening," Zhou Xuan Dao coldly snorted and said, "As for you, Zhou Yan, I didn't expect you to dare to return. Do you really think our Zhou family can be easily breached?"
"Breach your Zhou family?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan couldn't help but sneer, "Do you think your strength can stop me?"
"Hmph, do you think you can defeat me with your current strength?"
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, a cold glint flashed in Zhou Xuan Dao's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "You are too arrogant."
"Zhou Yan, since you have come today, you will not leave alive!"
"Rumble~"
Hearing this, Zhou Yan said no more nonsense and threw a punch.
"Bang!"
"Crack!"
With one punch, Zhou Yan shattered Zhou Xuan Dao's defensive shield and then smashed fiercely onto Zhou Xuan Dao's chest.
"Pfft~"
Immediately, Zhou Xuan Dao spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.
"Unbearable!"
Zhou Yan sneered, his figure flashed, and he directly grabbed Zhou Xuan Dao, then transformed into a stream of light and sped towards the distance.
"You dare!"
"Stop him! You absolutely must not let him escape!"
Seeing Zhou Yan take him away, Zhou Xuan Dao panicked and quickly shouted to the surrounding clansmen.
"Hmph!"
"Junior Brother Zhou Yan, where are you taking me?"
Zhou Yan ignored Zhou Xuan Dao, instead accelerating and taking Zhou Xuan Dao towards the summit of a mountain.
"What do you want?"
Sensing the monstrous killing intent emanating from Zhou Yan, Zhou Xuan Dao's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Daoist Tianxuan, if you don't hand over that brat named Ye Feng today, I will make you die without a burial place!"
Zhou Yan stared coldly at Zhou Xuan Dao and said grimly.
