Zhou Yan said with a grim expression.
"Hahaha, regret? I will regret?"
"I never knew that I, Qin Xiao, would need to regret?"
A domineering aura that surveyed the heavens and earth suddenly erupted from Qin Xiao's body, as if a demon god had descended.
Zhou Yan's pupils contracted slightly, and as he felt this aura, his whole body trembled involuntarily, feeling suffocated, as if the opponent's strength far surpassed his own.
Qin Xiao's gaze slowly shifted, and he saw the two corpses lying on the ground. He frowned and said, "You killed them?"
"These two are disciples of the Heavenly Martial Academy. Are you trying to provoke the Heavenly Martial Academy?"
Qin Xiao's tone carried a hint of indifference.
"Hmph, the Heavenly Martial Academy, I'm not interested in provoking them!"
"I'm just looking for someone!"
A cold sneer appeared on Zhou Yan's lips: "As long as you leave, there will be no more grudges between us, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
The man in black robes smiled indifferently, his expression calm and unruffled, showing no fear of Zhou Yan's words.
Zhou Yan's eyes were filled with intense coldness, and his aura continued to climb, quickly reaching a peak state.
Suddenly, a long sword appeared in his hand, its tip pointing at the man in black robes. He shouted, "Kid, no matter who you are, you will die for me!"
With that, he swung his sword, and a sharp sword energy, like a giant python, carrying an invincible momentum, rushed towards the man in black robes.
This sword energy looked like a winding, twisted snake, but it contained a destructive aura that made people's hearts tremble.
This venomous snake was about to swallow the man in black robes.
The man in black robes stood in place, making no move, yet there was a strange attraction that caused the surrounding space to tighten continuously, pulling the sword energy towards him.
The next moment, Zhou Yan's eyes widened.
Because he saw that as the sword energy flew towards the man in black robes, it was caught by the man in black robes with a single grab.
"This, how is this possible!"
Zhou Yan was stunned. He never expected that the sword energy would be caught so easily. He hadn't even seen clearly when the sword energy appeared in his hand.
This kind of skill, while shocking him, also filled him with deep apprehension.
"Zhou Yan, I advise you to get lost quickly, otherwise, I can't guarantee what I might do."
The man in black robes slightly raised his head and said to Zhou Yan.
A bitter expression appeared on Zhou Yan's face. Then, he took a deep breath: "It seems I can only retreat for now. I will find trouble with you again another day."
With that, Zhou Yan's figure flashed and disappeared.
The man in black robes also flashed and disappeared.
"Phew, finally safe. Fortunately, I dodged in time, otherwise, it would have been dangerous."
Dense sweat beaded on Zhou Yan's forehead, clearly indicating that he had been startled.
"Qin Xiao's strength is truly powerful!"
Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Who are you, and how do you possess such strength? Are you one of the senior disciples from the Heavenly Martial Academy?"
At this moment, Lin Chen's figure suddenly appeared beside Zhou Yan, asking with confusion.
"This is Zhou Yan, the young master of the Zhou family from the Heavenly Martial Academy!"
Qin Xiao's voice rang out: "This time, I was ordered to come and find someone named Lin Chen. I didn't expect to encounter this little beast. Fortunately, I saved him, otherwise, he would have been in danger!"
"Heavenly Martial Academy? Zhou family?"
Lin Chen was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected that this Zhou Yan would come from the Heavenly Martial Academy.
"You know me?"
Zhou Yan's gaze fell on Lin Chen, his eyes flashing with surprise.
He knew that the senior disciples of the Heavenly Martial Academy were all unruly geniuses and generally difficult to recruit.
"Not only do I know you, but we've also fought before!"
Lin Chen said with a grin.
"What! You... it's you?"
Zhou Yan's pupils suddenly constricted, and his expression instantly turned grim: "Lin Chen, I will tear you to pieces!"
As soon as Zhou Yan finished speaking, a sharp attack fiercely chopped towards Lin Chen.
Zhou Yan's strength was terrifying. Even Lin Chen felt an extremely dangerous aura at this moment.
He slightly shifted his body, dodging the attack, then, with his feet treading on the void, he transformed into an afterimage and reappeared in front of Zhou Yan, his palm condensing terrifying soul power.
"Soul Skill - Nine Forms of Soul Seal!"
Boom!
Zhou Yan's attack collided with Lin Chen's attack, immediately erupting in a fierce explosion.
"Pfft!"
A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and Zhou Yan's face turned pale. Clearly, he was injured, and even more severely than before!
"Zhou Yan, you are seeking death. I told you, my patience is limited. If you don't want to live, I can grant your wish!"
Lin Chen's gaze was cold and merciless.
"Hmph! You are indeed strong, but I don't fear telling you, I am a genius ranked in the top three hundred of the Heavenly Martial Academy. Do you, just you, dare to try and kill me? It's wishful thinking!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly.
"Top three hundred?"
Hearing the number Zhou Yan reported, a flicker of shock flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.
"What? You don't believe me?"
Zhou Yan sneered coldly: "Then, I can break the record now and let you know if I'm lying."
"No need to waste time. Today I must kill you, at all costs!"
Zhou Yan's gaze was icy as he looked at Lin Chen, cold glints surging in his eyes.
"You are not my opponent."
Lin Chen shook his head and said.
"Then try me!"
Zhou Yan roared, his aura soaring. Black flames burned wildly behind him, making his body like a scorching sun, emitting dazzling golden light that made it difficult to open one's eyes and even breathe. This was the might of purgatory.
Lin Chen's brows furrowed. He knew that Zhou Yan was burning his essence.
"My physical body is strong. Even a master of the same level would find it difficult to kill me, let alone you."
With that, Zhou Yan clenched his palm, and a purplish-black fireball the size of a fist shot out from his hand, heading straight for Lin Chen.
"Hmph!"
Lin Chen snorted, and the Crimson Dragon Halberd behind him materialized, directly meeting the purplish-black fireball.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The three collided, emitting muffled thuds.
However, as time passed, the fireball in Zhou Yan's hand actually grew larger and larger.
A sinister curve appeared on Zhou Yan's lips: "Lin Chen, your defense is indeed quite good. I admit, you do have some skills, but... you absolutely cannot escape today!"
