C1644 Levels
"I'm number one on the Genius rankings. Don't think that you can become a half-step Emperor just by cultivating for a few days. Your strength is far from that level!"
Zhou Yan shook his head in disdain.
Taking a deep breath to calm his breathing, Xiao Chen once again activated his Soul Force and locked onto Zhou Yan's aura.
Although Zhou Yan's strength was extraordinary, he still possessed the mysterious space. Thus, it would be extremely easy for him to escape.
Xiao Chen did not have any hopes of killing his opponent with a single move. He only wanted to stall for some time so that he could adjust his state and recover some of his strength.
However, Zhou Yan's attacks did not stop. One attack after another kept coming at him, and Xiao Chen could only barely block them.
However, his strength was still weaker than his opponent's. Soon, many injuries appeared on his body, but he was still struggling to hold on.
However, he didn't panic at all.
"Brat, let's see how long you can last!" When Zhou Yan saw the injuries on Xiao Chen's body, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Unknowingly, he had already attacked several thousand times, and Xiao Chen was already at a complete disadvantage. He couldn't even defend himself, and could only dodge in a sorry state.
"Haha, brat, you can't take it anymore, right? Now, I will send you on your way!" Zhou Yan said fiercely.
A bitter smile appeared on Xiao Chen's face. He never thought that all of this would happen so suddenly, catching him off guard.
Although his strength had increased a lot, he was unable to resist Zhou Yan at all.
Knowing that his fate would eventually come to an end, Xiao Chen did not struggle at all.
"Little bastard, I won't let you go. Just go on your way!" Zhou Yan laughed sinisterly.
Xiao Chen's eyes also revealed a look of despair, but he did not close his eyes.
"Shua!"
Suddenly, a ball of black light burst out from his body and enveloped Xiao Chen's body, causing the smile on Zhou Yan's face to instantly freeze.
"This, this is... What's going on?" Zhou Yan was stunned.
Within the black light, a black shadow could be vaguely seen, as if it was alive.
Furthermore, from within the black light, black mist surged out and enveloped Zhou Yan.
"Not good, it's that devil!" Zhou Yan thought to himself.
This black mist was emitted from the Heart Devouring Worm in Xiao Chen's body.
Xiao Chen woke up the Heart Devouring Worm and let it control the black mist. Furthermore, it released a dense poison that enveloped Zhou Yan within.
"Roar!"
"Pfft!"
When Zhou Yan felt the poison within the black mist, his expression changed drastically.
After all, the poison mist released by the Heart Devouring Worm had caused far too much damage to Zhou Yan's body.
In just a short moment, his body was covered in shocking wounds that were dripping with blood.
Zhou Yan felt a sharp pain coming from his body and could not help but curse, "Damn devil, get out of my way, or I'll kill you all!"
"Kill me? If you have the ability, then kill me!" The Heart Devouring Bug mocked from within the black light.
Zhou Yan's expression kept changing.
He also understood that he could only kill Xiao Chen or chase away these devils. Otherwise, he would be doomed forever.
And the poison mist that the devil had released was so strange that it could cause such serious damage to him. If he allowed the devil to continue, it would not be long before his strength was greatly reduced, and he might even be devoured by the devil.
"Brat, remember this, I am number one on the Genius Ranking, I will come back to settle the score with you!" Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and said.
With that, Zhou Yan's figure turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the horizon.
Right now, he couldn't care less. All he wanted to do was to leave this place as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be too late for regret if the Heart Devouring Worm woke up and corroded his body.
Just as Zhou Yan's body flew away from where he was, a trace of blood flowed out from the corner of Xiao Chen's mouth.
Zhou Yan's punch just now had almost severely injured him.
Although Zhou Yan did not kill him, he had also used up a large amount of Spiritual Energy. His internal organs seemed to have shifted positions, and the pain made him break out in a cold sweat.
...
"Master, are you alright?" Zi Yan's voice sounded.
"Yes!" Zhou Yan nodded lightly.
"Master, that Xiao Chen has run away. What should we do now?" Zi Yan asked.
"Let's take a rest and recover from our injuries first!" Zhou Yan said.
However, his gaze was still fixed on the distant void, as if he was waiting for something.
As soon as Zhou Yan's figure disappeared, he retracted his gaze, looked at Zi Yan beside him, and said, "Now that you're safe, you can leave!"
"Master, I'm not leaving. I will help you protect Xiaoqian!" Zi Yan said firmly.
"I know you're very loyal, but if you stay here, it will only add to my burden. So, you can leave. I can take care of myself!" Zhou Yan shook his head and said.
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, Zi Yan's face darkened. After a moment of silence, she lowered her head and said, "Alright, then Master, be careful!"
After saying that, Zi Yan turned around and flew into the distance.
Seeing Zi Yan leave, Zhou Yan sighed. A trace of helplessness appeared on his face, but at the same time, he felt gratified.
"You've finally grown up and should be independent now. You won't be sticking to me all the time!"
With that, Zhou Yan's figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Xiao Chen also recovered some of his strength and slowly stood up.
"This guy is really cunning. He actually sneak attacked me while I was unconscious. He even put that woman into my body. Damn it. I will get even with him sooner or later! "
Xiao Chen's face was dark.
He really did not expect that Zhou Yan would be so strong. That palm strike just now had already caused him to suffer a huge loss.
However, he would definitely remember this debt!
...0
At this moment, in the distant forest.
Zhou Yan walked out from the forest. His body was covered by a black fog and his face was as pale as paper, making him look extremely ugly.
"This damned bastard, he actually used the Devil Curse to deal with me!" Zhou Yan roared in exasperation.
"Little bitch, if I don't kill you, I won't let this matter rest!" Zhou Yan's face became more and more twisted.
"However, let's find a place to hide first!"
Thinking about it, Zhou Yan's body suddenly trembled, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and disappeared from where he stood.
Although Xiao Chen had already escaped, the demon in his body still existed. He did not dare to stay in this desolate mountain to avoid getting himself into trouble.
So he had to find a place to hide as soon as possible. Otherwise, it might be troublesome if he was caught by those demons.
