1628: C1628 Throat Hurts

C1628 Throat Hurts

"Ah..."

A miserable scream came from the man's throat.

"Hmph, you shouldn't have provoked me."

Zhou Yan's face was filled with a cold expression.

* Crack! *

He raised his right leg and swept it across the man's knee, causing the man in black to immediately kneel down.

Bang!

Following that, Zhou Yan stepped on his face.

* Crack! *

The bridge of the man's nose instantly broke as blood spurted out from his nose. Unable to open his eyes, he fainted on the spot.

"Humph, he's just an ant. How dare he come to his death? He really overestimates himself."

Zhou Yan shook his head in disdain and retracted his foot.

This time, his target was only the Heavenly King Fist. As for the assassins sent by the other forces, he couldn't be bothered with them.

"I should first comprehend this secret manual and increase my strength."

Zhou Yan took out the Mysterious Yellow Technique from his Cosmos Ring.

This secret manual was obtained from Zhou Yuanheng's storage ring.

According to his guess, there might be some sort of hidden profound meaning hidden within this secret manual.

After all, this was a secret technique left behind by Zhou Yuanheng. How could it be normal?

However, just as he was about to read it, all of a sudden, the candles in the hall were extinguished. He couldn't even see his own fingers in front of him. The only light came from the moonlight outside the wall.

This action immediately aroused Zhou Yan's vigilance.

He definitely could not allow this manual to fall into anyone's hands.

"Swish!"

With a flash, Zhou Yan rushed out of the house and stood on the wall, observing his surroundings with the help of the moonlight.

"Hmm?"

In the next moment, Zhou Yan's pupils contracted slightly.

In the darkness, he saw a flash of red light.

Furthermore, the red light was rapidly approaching him. In the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of him.

Zhou Yan's eyes turned cold as he clenched his fist and threw it towards the red light.

Clang!

As the two metals collided, Zhou Yan's body trembled as he staggered a few steps back.

"What a strong force!"

Zhou Yan squinted his eyes, and his gaze landed on the red light. It was a snake. Its entire body was blood-red, and it emitted a demonic scarlet luster. Its body was extremely long, about ten meters long, and the scales on its body were a strange purple color.

At this moment, the snake spat out a mouthful of blood. It stared fiercely at Zhou Yan and pounced over with bared fangs and brandished claws.

"Bastard, you're courting death!"

Zhou Yan's gaze darkened as he threw a punch towards the snake.

Rumble ~

With a loud explosion, the head of the blood snake instantly shattered. Blood flowed out of its seven orifices as it fell to the ground. After twitching twice, it died on the spot.

Zhou Yan picked up the corpse of the blood snake and examined it. Then, he discovered that there was a jade token hanging on the tail of the blood snake.

"Eh? What is this?"

Zhou Yan asked in confusion.

The jade pendant was blood-red in color and was carved with the pattern of a dragon and a phoenix. It looked extremely lifelike.

Furthermore, he could faintly feel a trace of Spiritual Energy being transmitted out.

He had a strong premonition in his heart that this blood-colored jade token definitely contained a great fortune.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan immediately picked up the jade pendant and examined it in his palm.

Buzz ~

In that instant, the jade pendant emitted a dazzling blood-red light and slowly disappeared. At the same time, a piece of information surged into Zhou Yan's mind.

"This is..."

Zhou Yan was stunned.

It turned out that this jade pendant was an Interspatial Ring.

"Could it be that this Interspatial Ring is the key to the inheritance?" Zhou Yan's eyes lit up slightly, and he was a little excited.

As the patriarch of the Zhou family, Zhou Yuanheng had to have a jade pendant to cultivate martial skills and cultivation techniques.

And now, this jade pendant was actually lying in his hand.

"Perhaps, this jade pendant is the key to opening this cultivation technique, the Secret Realm!"

At this moment, Zhou Yan's heart was beating very fast.

"I have already cultivated to the peak of the Marrow Refining Stage. If I go any further, I will be at the Foundation Establishment Stage! I'm only one step away from reaching the Astral Transformation Stage that martial cultivators dream of."

Zhou Yan's eyes burned with passion.

The Astral Transformation Stage was an expert of the Martial Master Stage.

Once one stepped into the Astral Transformation Realm, their physical body would become stronger, and their strength would increase by several times. Furthermore, they would have the power to overturn seas and seas, which could be said to be invincible.

Such a Martial Arts Grandmaster could be considered an expert even in the martial arts world.

Zhou Yan had once heard his grandfather Zhou Ding say that in the entire C Country, there were only a dozen or so people in the Astral Transformation Realm.

Furthermore, such experts had already surpassed the rules of the mortal world and could fly in the air.2

"If I can reach the Astral Transformation stage, I will have the right to fight for the position of Clan Head. At that time, with all the cards and tricks I have, I will have the chance to continue to win and take back what my father left me."

Zhou Yan clenched his fists tightly.

No matter what price he had to pay, he had to step into the Astral Transformation Stage.

After all, that was the attitude of a true expert!

"However, my cultivation is currently stuck at the peak Marrow Cleansing stage and it's easier said than done to break through to the Ascended Realm in a short amount of time."

"However, with this blood-colored jade, I just need to eat some Blood Spirit Pills to break through to the Ascended Realm."

Zhou Yan muttered.

The Blood Spirit Pill was a pill unique to the Zhou Family. It could help cultivators refine their bodies.

However, this kind of medicine was extremely precious and expensive.

The Zhou family only made a hundred a year.

This was only for the Elders and normal servants and servants didn't even have the right to enjoy the Blood Spirit Pills.

"Let's leave the Zhou family first."

Zhou Yan opened the window, jumped onto the roof, and quickly left along the small path.

...

On the other side, the night was dark.

In one of the courtyards of the Zhou Family's manor, Zhou Haoyu sat on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand and quietly tasting it.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a bodyguard in black walked in.

"Boss, what happened just now?" Zhou Haoyu asked.

"Boss, that trash Zhou Yan is back."

The bodyguard in black said respectfully.

"Zhou Yan? Hehe... It's good that you're back. I want to see what kind of ability this trash has to snatch away my property." Zhou Haoyu chuckled, the corner of his mouth filled with ridicule.

"Boss, do we need to investigate this matter?" The bodyguard in black hesitated for a moment and asked.

"Investigate?"

Hearing this, Zhou Haoyu snickered, "It's just a retard. There's no need to worry. We don't need to waste time investigating. He's going to die tomorrow anyway."

"Oh?" The bodyguard in black was surprised.

"I heard that kid's mother is my cousin. Since her son has fallen into the hands of our Zhou family, we have to give him to my cousin and let her take him away." Zhou Haoyu took a sip of tea and said.

"So that's how it is."

The bodyguard in black nodded his head and then warned, "But boss, that brat's strength isn't simple."

"Hahaha, he's just at the Marrow Cleansing stage. I can crush him with one finger."
