C1213 Broken Sword at Any Moment
No matter what secrets were hidden in the palace, he couldn't see them with his current strength.
Whoosh!
Right at this moment, a short sword stabbed towards Zhou Yan's chest. The cold light was extremely sharp and its speed was extremely fast. It was like the tongue of a poisonous snake, incomparably sinister.
"You're courting death!"
Zhou Yan let out a cold snort and slapped him.
Bang!
The assassin was sent flying to the ground by Zhou Yan's slap. Spitting out a few teeth, his face flushed red.
"Puchi!"
Zhou Yan flicked his finger lightly, and another flame shot out, landing on the assassin's body. In an instant, it turned into a ball of fire, devouring the opponent's body and turning it into ashes.
When the other young martial disciples saw this scene, they were all horrified. They couldn't help but swallow their saliva, their hearts palpitating.
This Lord was decisive in killing and his methods were ruthless. He wouldn't leave anyone alive.
"What realm did you say the princess of the Chen Family is at?" Zhou Yan swept his cold gaze across the crowd and said indifferently.
"Half-step Grandmaster."
The young Martial Apprentice quickly replied, afraid that he would be killed if he was a step too slow.
"Half-step Grandmaster?"
Zhou Yan frowned and started thinking in his heart.
Above the Martial Master realm were the Grandmasters. Every Grandmaster expert was an expert standing at the peak of the Southern Sun County. They looked down on all living things and were too high to reach.
Furthermore, every Grandmaster had a long lifespan of 180 years.
If one was at the ninth rank of the Martial Saint realm, they could reach 600 years old. If one was at the Grandmaster realm, they could reach around 700 years old.
This lifespan could be said to be heaven-defying in the Nanyang County.
"There is actually a half-step Grandmaster hidden in the Chen family. No wonder Wuji is so afraid."
Zhou Yan thought to himself.
"Forget it. I'll let you go this time. I hope you won't offend me again. Otherwise... you will die!"
Zhou Yan sneered and turned around to leave.
... "
As night fell, the night wind blew gently.
The night was as cold as water, and the moon was bright and the stars were few.
Zhou Yan sat cross-legged and activated his cultivation technique to adjust his breathing and absorb the essence of the sun and moon.
His aura became more and more ethereal, as if he was a god, untainted by the mortal world.
Swish!
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and shot out two sharp beams of light that pierced through the void in an instant.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In an instant, several figures appeared out of thin air and surrounded Zhou Yan.
They were three men and a woman, all dressed in black robes. Their faces were covered, and their bodies were filled with killing intent.
"Who are you?"
When this group of people saw Zhou Yan, they were all surprised.
This was because they sensed a trace of danger from Zhou Yan's aura.
"Who are you?" Zhou Yan narrowed his eyes and asked.
"You don't need to know who we are. Just surrender obediently and we might be able to give you a quick death!"
A woman in black said coldly.
"Hehe... I hate being threatened the most."
Hearing that, Zhou Yan sneered. His body rushed out and punched towards the woman in black.
Bang!
With a punch, the force surged and the air exploded. It was like a raging wave that swept in all directions.
"Puchi."
The woman in black was caught off guard and was sent flying. She fell to the ground with heavy injuries.
"How is this possible?"
The pupils of the other two men in black contracted as they exclaimed in shock and fear.
They were both Xiantian Martial Masters, and their strength far exceeded normal people. Even a Houtian Martial Master could fight them.
Unfortunately, when they met a freak like Zhou Yan, the three of them combined were far from being his match.
"Damn it, retreat!"
The remaining men in black roared and immediately turned around to escape.
However, how could Zhou Yan give him the chance? With a tap of his toes, he chased after them.
"Bam!"
Jumping onto the roof, Zhou Yan moved as agilely as an ape and intercepted the man in the blink of an eye.
"Die!"
Zhou Yan's eyes turned cold as he lashed out with his whip kick, causing the wind to howl.
"Not good."
The man in black was unable to react in time and was instantly kicked in the head. His brain matter shattered as he died instantly.
"Hiss."
The other two men in black were scared out of their wits. They ran for their lives, wanting to escape Zhou Yan's sight.
However, they had underestimated Zhou Yan's speed and were all killed by him in less than ten breaths of time.
"Hu ~ ~"
Zhou Yan heaved a sigh of relief and wiped away his cold sweat. He had finally solved all these problems.
"This time, I have finally stepped into the Martial Master realm."
Zhou Yan looked inside his body and discovered that the vortex within his Dantian was becoming stronger and stronger, as if it contained a vast and mighty force, causing him to be extremely happy.
"Although this flesh shell is weak, its potential is not small."
Zhou Yan sized up this body as his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
This body was not born naturally. Instead, it had been modified after birth. Originally, it was just an ordinary body, but after his treatment, it gradually transformed.
Furthermore, this body had great potential. In time, it would be able to cultivate to a higher level.
"Not bad, not bad."
Zhou Yan nodded in satisfaction.
"The spiritual energy in this world is scarce, and cultivation is difficult. If I don't have these resources, I'm afraid it will take a long time for me to become a Martial Master."
Zhou Yan's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself.
In his previous life, he had swept across the Nine Prefectures, swept across the world, and was invincible. He had pushed all the way to the imperial city and established the Immortal Empire.
However, on the path of martial arts, it was extremely difficult.
He had countless hidden cards, but he still needed to rely on himself if he wanted to reach the peak.
"Let's strengthen my physical body first!"
With a thought, Zhou Yan threw away the corpses and took out some pills. He then stuffed them into his mouth and began cultivating in seclusion.
This was something that he had prepared a long time ago. It was specifically used to refine his body.
This pill was called the Blood Gathering Pill. It was a treasure that Zhou Yan had plundered and was worth thousands of spirit stones.
These spirit stones were all exchanged for Spiritual Materials, refined into pills for him to consume.
"This is a fifth-grade pill, the Blood Spirit Pill!"
Zhou Yan had refined a total of twenty Blood Spirit Pills, and he did not waste a single one of them. After swallowing all of them, he fused them into his blood and tempered his body.
Rumble...
In an instant, the powerful medicinal effect spread throughout his body. Waves of heat flowed through his body, filling every inch of his skin.
His flesh and blood started to move and his bones started to tremble. His skin was like jade and seemed like it would break at any moment.
"Arghh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Zhou Yan roared towards the sky. His eyes were crimson red, and all the pores on his body opened up, spurting out multicolored light. It was as if a True Dragon had come out of the abyss and was riding on the clouds.
"Is this the feeling of a Martial Master?"
Zhou Yan was extremely excited.1
He could clearly feel that he had completely closed in on a Martial Master as his entire body was filled with endless true essence.
* Crack! *
Suddenly, Zhou Yan's body shook violently, and cracks appeared on the surface of his body. It was as if he couldn't withstand the vast amount of True Yuan in his body.
A moment later, the cracks disappeared, and everything returned to normal.
Zhou Yan slowly opened his eyes with a smile on his face.
"As expected, my physical body has also improved. I'm now one step closer to condensing the Blood Aura."
Zhou Yan thought to himself.
During this period of time, he had been continuously consuming Blood Spirit Pills to strengthen his physical body and had already formed the embryonic form of the Blood Star.
Of course, this was just the beginning. It wasn't easy to form a Blood Star.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Zhou Yan's face darkened.
