"How is this possible?"
The middle-aged man was also utterly shocked, unable to believe that Zhou Yan could defeat him, and with a single move at that.
"Now you know how strong I am. You still want to kill me?"
Seeing the middle-aged man's expression, Zhou Yan said indifferently. He then raised his right foot and kicked towards the middle-aged man, intending to press his advantage and finish him off.
However, just as Zhou Yan's right foot was lifted, he suddenly felt his footing give way, and his body lost its balance.
"What's going on?"
A look of shock flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes, and his body was immediately propelled forward.
*Thump!*
He crashed heavily onto the ground, his body breaking several trees.
"Ah!"
The intense pain made him cry out in agony, his face contorting in a grimace.
The onlookers were dumbfounded by this scene.
What... what was happening?
They never imagined that Zhou Yan would be so easily defeated by Zhou Yan.
Wasn't Zhou Yan a good-for-nothing?
Then... where was he a good-for-nothing?
However, they all understood that if they lingered to watch, their fate would likely not be much better.
So, they immediately dispersed and quickly left the abandoned factory.
Watching them flee, Zhou Yan's brows furrowed slightly. He hadn't expected the middle-aged man to react so quickly.
But Zhou Yan quickly regained his composure. He slowly stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "It seems we underestimated you. I'll see what right you have to say such things."
As he spoke, Zhou Yan stepped forward and lunged towards the middle-aged man.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man panicked for a moment but quickly calmed down.
He understood that he was no match for Zhou Yan now. If he continued to stall, he would be beaten to death here.
Therefore, he had to escape quickly, otherwise, death would await him.
With this thought, the middle-aged man hesitated no longer. He retreated rapidly and fled into the distance.
Zhou Yan immediately pursued him.
*Swish!*
However, as Zhou Yan gave chase, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped, turned back to face Zhou Yan, and sneered, "Zhou Yan, you don't need to struggle anymore. I will never let you harm my father!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man's face became contorted, and his killing intent deepened.
"Heh, how interesting."
Zhou Yan let out a disdainful laugh at the middle-aged man's expression, his eyes flashing with a cold glint. "Since you want to die, I'll send you on your way!"
As he spoke, Zhou Yan's right fist slammed out.
Seeing Zhou Yan's fist, which carried a ferocious wind, a hint of fear appeared in the middle-aged man's eyes. He quickly threw a punch to meet it. However, the result was horrifying. His fist was sent flying, and even the bones in his hand were shattered.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face turned grim. He hadn't expected Zhou Yan to be so formidable.
"Well? Do you still dare to tell me to get lost?"
Zhou Yan's gaze swept indifferently over the middle-aged man. Then, he stepped forward, grabbed the man by the neck, and asked coldly.
"I... I was wrong. Please let me go!" The middle-aged man's face was pale, and he pleaded for mercy.
"Too late!"
Zhou Yan shook his head. Then, he tightened his grip on the middle-aged man's neck, and with a *crack*, the man's head was crushed like a rotten watermelon, blood splattering everywhere.
After dealing with the middle-aged man, Zhou Yan directly dumped him into the pile of corpses on the ground.
Zhou Yan did not throw the middle-aged man's body into the trash but dragged it to the side.
Having done all this, Zhou Yan looked around and then noticed several familiar figures.
When he clearly saw their faces, he was slightly stunned.
He hadn't expected this group of people to appear here.
"Zhou Yan, it seems we meet again."
This time, it was Chen Yuan who appeared. He looked at Zhou Yan with a playful expression and said with a faint smile.
Hearing Chen Yuan's words, Zhou Yan's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart throbbed violently, as if he was afraid of something.
"Chen Yuan, how could it be you? Aren't you supposed to be studying abroad?"
However, Zhou Yan soon reacted and asked with some confusion.
He remembered that he and Chen Yuan had parted ways after the college entrance examination and had no chance to meet.
Could this middle-aged man have been sent by Chen Yuan?
But the Chen family shouldn't have any enmity with him.
However, Zhou Yan quickly dismissed this idea. Given his relationship with Chen Yuan, there was no reason for the middle-aged man to do this, especially by sending such a novice to deal with him.
"Hahaha... What's wrong, Zhou Yan? Have you forgotten? We were once brothers. Don't you remember?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but laugh. His eyes were filled with teasing amusement, clearly guessing Zhou Yan's thoughts.
"Brothers?"
Hearing Chen Yuan's words, Zhou Yan's face immediately darkened, and his heart burned with anger.
He hadn't expected that although he and Chen Yuan were classmates, they had no interaction whatsoever, and Chen Yuan had even framed him repeatedly.
Not only that, but he had almost been killed because Chen Yuan colluded with people from the Chen family. He would never forget such a debt.
Yet, he never imagined that Chen Yuan would find someone to ambush him now.
And Zhou Yan had long forgotten all these things, having no memory of them at all.
But now, looking at Chen Yuan, a sense of anger welled up in his heart.
Such a hatred could never be resolved.
"I remember we were good brothers in our third year of high school, but then some things happened, and I stopped thinking about being brothers with you."
Zhou Yan said with a cold laugh, his eyes filled with killing intent. "Now I'm going to kill you. You can't blame me, can you?"
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Chen Yuan was somewhat astonished. He clearly hadn't expected Zhou Yan to remember that incident.
But then, a mocking smile appeared on Chen Yuan's lips. "Hahaha... I thought you had forgotten me. But that's fine too. It saves me the trouble of finding you. After all, in this world, no one can escape my search, Chen Yuan."
