"Arrogant brat!"
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, the old man's expression darkened. His hand seals shifted, and the Yuan force within him churned wildly. The black demonic sword unleashed an even more dazzling black light, and wisps of dark energy spread from it, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet. Many cultivators in the Martial Spirit realm felt a chill.
"Whoosh!"
As the old man retreated, the black demonic sword beside him, carrying an unparalleled momentum, sliced through the air and shot towards Zhou Yan. This sword energy seemed to contain mysterious and unfathomable powers, causing the space itself to subtly distort. It was imaginable that if this sword energy struck Zhou Yan's chest, it would pierce him with a single blow.
Witnessing the terrifying might unleashed by the black demonic sword in the old man's hand, Zhou Yan's expression changed. He quickly gathered all his Yuan force into the Scarlet Flame Spear. A dazzling red light erupted from the spear and violently clashed with the black demonic sword.
"Boom!"
"Riiip!"
Following a low dull thud, the black demonic sword, with a miserable cry, vanished into points of demonic light. The black demonic spear also shattered at that moment, a massive crack appearing on Zhou Yan's spear tip. A terrifying gust of wind, as if tearing through the sky, immediately roared forth.
Seeing his demonic sword shattered by the opponent in a single move, a look of unconcealed shock flickered in the old man's eyes: "Impossible, how can this be? How can your attack be so terrifying!"
"How did you unleash such a fearsome attack power?"
Hearing the old man's question, Zhou Yan shook his head: "I regret to inform you that at our age, even super experts who have reached the Emperor Venerable realm might not possess such might. Therefore, I cannot answer your question."
"Hmph!"
Upon hearing this, the old man's face turned extremely grim. He knew that Zhou Yan was unwilling to speak. However, since the other party was unwilling to disclose it, he would not force him. He would simply defeat him step by step through strength.
"Since that is the case, I shall send you on your way first!"
As his voice fell, the old man flickered and shot forward, emanating a dense aura of killing intent, appearing extremely dangerous.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan's eyebrows twitched. Then, a surging battle intent erupted from his body, and a mighty purple lightning force surged from within him, enveloping him entirely, making his entire figure appear hazy.
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
As Zhou Yan's figure blurred, the old man's speed increased dramatically. With a wave of his hand, streams of black light swept towards Zhou Yan. Layers of black ripples emanated from these light screens, eventually forming a massive black net that descended fiercely upon Zhou Yan.
Seeing the black net enveloping him, Zhou Yan's gaze sharpened. He trembled his long spear, and immediately, a brilliant purple-gold light erupted from the spear.
"Sky Shatterer!"
With a low shout, Zhou Yan poured his boundless Yuan force into the Scarlet Flame Spear. Then, with a flick of his wrist, the Scarlet Flame Spear flew out, transforming into a meteor that instantly shot forth, carrying endless purple-gold power, and fiercely struck the black net.
"Riiip!"
"Bang bang bang..."
As the purple-gold beam of light fiercely collided with the black net, ripples immediately spread across the net. Then, these ripples quickly expanded, followed by the ripples spreading like a tide, eventually covering the entire black net like a tidal wave.
"Riiip!"
Under the shroud of the ripples, the black net rapidly contracted. To Zhou Yan's astonishment, it actually clamped the Scarlet Flame Spear within the black net.
Seeing this, Zhou Yan's cheek twitched involuntarily, because this black net was significantly harder than his Azure Nether Divine Spear. Although his spear thrust was powerful, facing such a sturdy black net, he was helpless! Da Feng Novel Network
However, as an Emperor Venerable, he would naturally not wait for death. The Yuan force within his body was instantly mobilized frantically.
"Thunder Fist!"
"Riiip!"
With a punch, a terrifying fist aura exploded forth, carrying an extremely ferocious thunderous fluctuation, and fiercely slammed into the black net.
"Riiip!"
Facing this terrifying fist aura, the old man let out a cold snort, a hint of mockery appearing in his eyes. Then, with a flick of his finger, cracks on the surface of the black net rapidly expanded like a spiderweb, eventually covering the entire black net in the blink of an eye.
A mouthful of blood spurted out. Under that terrifying impact, Zhou Yan was once again sent flying back in a sorry state.
"Hmph!"
A trace of blood hung at the corner of Zhou Yan's mouth. His eyes stared at the old man in front of him, his gaze becoming exceptionally solemn. This fellow could no longer be measured by ordinary Emperor-level experts. He was clearly a strong existence at the early Emperor stage, or even half a step into the Emperor Sovereign realm.
"You are no match for me!"
"However, even if you were at the peak Emperor, I would not fear you," the old man said indifferently.
Hearing the other party's voice, a surge of anger welled up in Zhou Yan's heart. However, remembering that his mission was not yet complete, he suppressed it, gritted his teeth, and said, "Old man, you are forcing me!"
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, the old man shook his head and said, "So what if I force you?"
Zhou Yan stopped wasting words. He clenched his fists and punched fiercely forward.
"Rumble!"
Where the fist wind passed, that space trembled. Circles of visible ripples, like waves, continuously emerged. Finally, they transformed into patches of ripples and spread in all directions. Wherever the ripples passed, those black nets exploded one after another, turning into a sky full of black mist that enveloped Zhou Yan, causing him to completely disappear from sight.
"Huh, where did this kid go? How did he suddenly disappear?"
"I'm not sure, perhaps he evaded."
"That doesn't seem likely. If he had evaded in that situation, he would have been caught. This guy must have escaped."
Staring at the empty void around him, the old man's eyes narrowed slightly: "This kid is indeed not simple, to be able to escape from my hands. But does he think he can escape?"
