"Mo Tian, since you insist on opposing me, don't blame me for being ruthless!" A ferocious look appeared on Zhou Yan's face. His gaze was fixed on Mo Tian, and an incredibly wild aura surged from him. This aura was several times stronger than before, and it seemed he had even touched the threshold of a Saint King.
"Hmph, just an ant. Do you think this little bit of strength is enough to contend with me?" Mo Tian snorted coldly. "I admit you have some power, but I, Mo Tian, am not to be trifled with!" As he spoke, he stamped his foot fiercely, and his body soared into the air. He slammed his palm towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan's eyes narrowed slightly. He clenched his fists tightly and met the attack head-on.
"Bang!" Fist and palm collided, and a massive backlash swept through Zhou Yan's entire body. He was sent flying again, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a large mouthful of blood.
At this moment, Zhou Yan finally realized the seriousness of the situation. If he didn't escape quickly, he might truly die here.
"Zhou Yan, you must die today!" Mo Tian's body descended again, his eyes filled with intense killing intent. He took a step forward, appearing before Zhou Yan once more, and extended his palm, grabbing towards Zhou Yan.
"Scram!" Zhou Yan roared fiercely. A golden rune suddenly materialized in his hand, and he slammed it out towards Mo Tian.
Seeing this, Mo Tian's brow furrowed. He flicked his wrist sharply, shattering the incoming attack.
"Zhou Yan, just surrender obediently!"
"Boom!"
Zhou Yan's fist struck again, but this time, its power had become even more terrifying.
"Bang!"
Mo Tian was sent flying back once more, his body tumbling uncontrollably. Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.
"No, if I delay any longer, it will be dangerous!" Zhou Yan's expression flickered. His gaze fell on Mo Tian in the distance, a look of intense unwillingness in his eyes.
"Whoosh!" Zhou Yan's figure flickered and vanished. The next moment, he reappeared behind Mo Tian and fiercely punched his back.
"Buzz!" Mo Tian's body suddenly contorted. The next second, a long saber pierced directly into his body and then shot through.
"Pfft! Pfft!..."
Blood sprayed from Mo Tian's chest, his face etched with disbelief. He had never imagined he would be defeated by Zhou Yan.
"Impossible, impossible! You're clearly just a mere Saint Emperor, why can't I suppress you at all?" Mo Tian looked at Zhou Yan in the distance, his face filled with profound confusion.
"Because I am Zhou Yan!" Zhou Yan's gaze was fixed on Mo Tian, his eyes flashing with intense hatred.
"Zhou Yan? Who exactly are you?" Mo Tian's face showed utter shock. He never could have imagined that the person before him was Zhou Yan.
A faint smile appeared on Zhou Yan's face. "Who am I? Of course, I am Zhou Yan. I am Zhou Yan of the Nine Nether Sacred Domain."
Zhou Yan was the youngest prodigy in the Nine Nether Sacred Domain. It took him less than five thousand years to rise from an ordinary disciple to a Saint Lord, and then within a mere few hundred years, he broke through to the level of a peak Saint Venerable.
This was an incredibly terrifying cultivation speed, and his combat power was even more extreme, capable of sweeping aside almost all opponents of the same rank.
Therefore, throughout the entire Nine Nether Sacred Domain, apart from a few ancient ancestors, Zhou Yan possessed the highest combat power and was the only one qualified to slay half-step Saint King experts.
"Zhou Yan! So it's you. In that case, I must keep you here even more!" Mo Tian snorted, a dense killing intent flashing in his eyes.
Seeing Mo Tian's frenzied demeanor, Zhou Yan couldn't help but shake his head. He sighed and said, "Mo Tian, do you really think I only have this much strength? Let me tell you, when I first ascended to the Saint King realm, I could already challenge half-step Saint Kings across levels!"
Upon hearing this, Mo Tian's expression froze. He stared at Zhou Yan with wide eyes, at a loss for words.
He was the proud Saint Son of the Demon Race, a renowned figure in the Nine Nether Sacred Domain. Yet, before Zhou Yan, he lacked even the courage to retort.
"However, you want to kill me? That's simply wishful thinking!" As he spoke, Zhou Yan's body suddenly erupted with a sky-shattering killing intent. "Trash like you, even if you were killed ten thousand times, it would be futile. I will slowly play with you, then eternally suppress your soul in hell!"
"Zhou Yan, you beast, I'll kill you!" Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Mo Tian's fury ignited. Streams of black lightning began to swirl around him, and destructive forces gathered madly.
"Rumble!" With a violent roar, a colossal mountain instantly shattered, and Mo Tian's figure emerged from the debris.
Seeing this, a flicker of apprehension crossed Zhou Yan's eyes, and he swiftly fled into the distance.
"Want to leave? It's not that easy!" Mo Tian coldly snorted and then pursued fiercely. Dark black lightning descended relentlessly, engulfing Zhou Yan.
"Boom boom boom!"
The deafening roars echoed through the void. In just a moment, this area was completely destroyed by Mo Tian.
Seeing that Zhou Yan had been caught up to, a ferocious smile spread across Mo Tian's face, and immense power surged from his body.
"Mo Tian, are you really going all out?" Feeling the overwhelming killing intent emanating from Mo Tian, a trace of seriousness appeared in Zhou Yan's eyes.
"All out? Hahaha, do you think you can withstand my attack?" Mo Tian sneered, then stomped his right foot on the ground. Cracks instantly spread out, and his figure shot forward like a cannonball, slamming his palm onto Zhou Yan's chest.
"Rumble!"
Terrifying energy ripples continued to spread, visible waves propagating outwards.
"Cough cough..." Zhou Yan was repelled by Mo Tian's strike, a muffled groan escaping his lips. His eyes showed a look of horror.
"I didn't expect you to have some skill, but this level is not enough to kill me." Zhou Yan's gaze was sharp and cold. He took a deep breath, then violently mobilized the power within him, instantly restoring himself to the peak Saint Lord realm.
"Boom!"
