Zhou Yan sneered.
"Hmph, I truly cannot defeat you."
Tian Xuan Daozhang's expression turned extremely grim.
His strength was indeed insufficient to defeat Zhou Yan, so he had only one objective: to force Zhou Yan out.
Only by doing so did he have a chance to win.
Otherwise, even if he had two more Tian Xuan Daozhangs, he might not have a winning chance.
"Since you know that, then why are you still here?"
Zhou Yan said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Tian Xuan Daozhang frowned, then said in a deep voice, "I was merely offering you a chance to live. Since you are unwilling to cherish it, then do not blame me for being merciless."
With that, Tian Xuan Daozhang fiercely swung his palm.
Instantly, Zhou Yan's body trembled violently.
"Rumble!"
Terrifying power erupted, causing Zhou Yan to feel a tearing pain all over his body.
He felt as though his bones were about to crack.
Zhou Yan's face instantly turned crimson, his eyes filled with boundless shock.
"As expected of a cultivator at the Integration stage. A single strike is enough to heavily injure me!"
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.
"Heh heh, my strength is not the strongest. You are not worthy of me getting serious."
Tian Xuan Daozhang said with a smile.
"You..."
Hearing Tian Xuan Daozhang's words, Zhou Yan was so angry he almost spat blood.
"Little beast, I didn't want to kill you, but you possess the Tian Xuan Token. This is the greatest secret of our Tian Xuan Sect. I cannot let it fall into anyone else's hands, so you can only die."
Tian Xuan Daozhang's voice suddenly turned ice-cold.
"What? Your Tian Xuan Sect has the Tian Xuan Token?"
Zhou Yan's eyes widened, filled with shock.
"That's right, our Tian Xuan Sect does indeed possess a Tian Xuan Token. This token represents the authority of our Tian Xuan Sect. Anyone who dares to snatch it will be hunted down to the ends of the earth and killed!"
"Moreover, in our eyes, all treasures in this world belong to our Tian Xuan Sect!"
"So, little beast, if you know what's good for you, hand over the Tian Xuan Token obediently!"
Tian Xuan Daozhang's tone became icy, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"Heh heh, how can the things of your Tian Xuan Sect be given away so easily? If you insist on being stubborn, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Zhou Yan also sneered.
"No matter what, we are determined to obtain the Tian Xuan Token from you!"
A chilling killing intent flashed in Tian Xuan Daozhang's eyes. He leaped forward and attacked Zhou Yan once more.
"Bang!"
Tian Xuan Daozhang threw a punch, distorting the space.
"Boom!"
Just then, Zhou Yan raised his right hand and met the punch with one of his own.
"Bang!"
"Pfft!"
Zhou Yan's figure was sent flying backward instantly.
"Rumble!"
His body crashed heavily to the ground, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Tian Xuan Daozhang steadied himself, staring at Zhou Yan with icy eyes.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly and got up from the ground.
"You are not my match!"
Tian Xuan Daozhang said with a sneer.
"So what?"
Zhou Yan said coldly.
He had only suffered minor injuries just now.
Now that he had broken through to the Void Refinement stage, his physical body was extremely sturdy. Even a strong cultivator at the Spirit Sea stage would find it difficult to injure him.
"Then let's see!"
A sharp, cold glint flashed in Tian Xuan Daozhang's eyes. He then charged forward.
"Buzz!"
The next moment, a green longsword appeared in his hand. The sword, illuminated by the sunlight, emitted a brilliant green radiance, sharp and peerless.
This sword was the spiritual weapon he had taken from Lin Feng earlier!
As he wielded the green longsword, powerful spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from his body.
A faint shield seemed to surround him.
This was spiritual energy armor, capable of withstanding attacks from cultivators below the Spirit Origin stage.
"Swish!"
"Swish swish!"
The next moment, Tian Xuan Daozhang charged forward. The green longsword in his hand, carrying a terrifying gust of wind, slashed fiercely towards Zhou Yan.
"You're courting death!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yan became furious. His figure flickered, and he retreated rapidly.
"Rumble!"
Tian Xuan Daozhang's sword missed and plunged into the valley.
The entire mountain peak was shattered to pieces by his sword.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Boy, I'll give you one minute to consider. If you don't hand over the Tian Xuan Token, then we'll have to take it by force."
Tian Xuan Daozhang's voice was as cold and eerie as a deep abyss.
"Never!"
Zhou Yan said coldly, his face grim.
He absolutely would not allow the Tian Xuan Token to fall into the hands of others. If that happened, wouldn't their Tian Xuan Sect's plan be completely ruined?
"Fine. If that's the case, then I'll let you know what it means to have heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people!"
Tian Xuan Daozhang said coldly. Then, the spiritual energy around his body condensed onto his palm, and a terrifying pressure swept out, causing the surrounding space to distort slightly.
"Get lost!"
"Bang!"
As Zhou Yan roared, the spiritual energy within his body surged into his palm.
"Boom!"
Instantly, a monstrous wave of energy swept out from Zhou Yan's palm.
This wave of energy transformed into a giant spiritual snake, lunging fiercely at Tian Xuan Daozhang.
"Hmph, mere tricks!"
Seeing this, Tian Xuan Daozhang sneered.
He was a cultivator at the Spirit Sea stage. Although he had only just entered the Spirit Sea stage, dealing with a martial artist of this level was as easy as flipping his hand.
"Tear!"
The next moment, his palm directly grabbed Zhou Yan's spiritual snake and with a fierce flick, threw it away.
"Bang!"
The spiritual snake struck a rock and exploded.
Zhou Yan grunted, and his figure shot backward.
"Boy, now, I'll give you one last chance to choose: hand over the Tian Xuan Token, or die!"
Tian Xuan Daozhang's voice was still filled with coldness and killing intent.
"Hahaha, trash of the Tian Xuan Sect, you actually think you can obtain the Tian Xuan Token? Wishful thinking!"
However, in the face of Tian Xuan Daozhang's coercion, Zhou Yan laughed heartily.
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me!"
Seeing this, Tian Xuan Daozhang let out a cold shout.
With a flick of his wrist, three green longswords appeared in his hand.
Each longsword emanated dense spiritual energy fluctuations.
Looking at Zhou Yan, he walked forward slowly, a hint of ferocity appearing in his eyes.
