C1385 The Lost Treasure
Zhou Yan thought for a long time, but he still had no clue.
"Sigh, forget it. Let's go find some food first..."
Helpless, Zhou Yan could only give up and choose to leave.
"Hmm? Someone's here?"
Suddenly, Zhou Yan's ears twitched as he caught a trace of abnormal fluctuations.
Swish!
In an instant, Zhou Yan's sharp gaze followed the direction of the Fame and saw two figures fleeing in a sorry state not far away.
"Who is it?"
Zhou Yan shouted.
* Swoosh! *
Immediately after, his figure flashed and rushed straight towards them.
The two of them were obviously injured as their footsteps became unsteady and their speed slowed down.
Soon, the two of them were stopped by Zhou Yan and landed in front of him.
"Little bastard, you dare to ruin our plans?"
Seeing Zhou Yan, the two of them flew into a rage and shouted fiercely.
These two people were dressed in black robes. Their faces were cold and emitted a bloodthirsty aura.
"Two pieces of trash!"
Seeing the two of them, Zhou Yan laughed disdainfully and said in disdain, "The people from the Black Wind Stronghold actually sent you to your deaths..."
"Little bastard, you dare to insult us?"
Hearing that, the two of them flew into a rage and trembled in anger.
"Bastards of the Black Wind Stronghold, since you're here to die, I'll grant your wish!" Zhou Yan sneered, raised his right palm, and was about to slap out.
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, one of them shouted anxiously.
"What? Are you afraid?" Zhou Yan sneered.
"Humph! Afraid?"
The faces of the two twitched as they coldly snorted and said proudly: "We are from the 'Blood Fiend Sect'. Under the orders of the Black Wind Stronghold, we have specially come to kill you."
Blood Fiend Sect!
Zhou Yan's face stiffened and his heart skipped a beat.
The Blood Fiend Sect was a first-rate sect in the martial arts world and had a deep foundation. It was said that its sect master had already reached the peak of the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm and was a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Such an expert could definitely be considered a top existence in Qingyang County.
"Since you're here, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and make your move."
After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yan waved his hand, indicating for the two of them to make their move.
"Brat, you're courting death..."
Hearing this, a fierce light flashed in the eyes of the two of them. They activated their true energy and used all kinds of secret techniques to charge over.
"Petty tricks..."
Seeing that, Zhou Yan sneered and did not take the two of them seriously at all.
Bang! Bang! Bang...
In an instant, muffled sounds could be heard all over the place. Zhou Yan had easily taken care of the two of them with his bare hands and feet.
"How could this be?"
"You clearly haven't broken through to the next realm yet, so how did your strength increase by so much?"
Feeling the clear fist marks on their chests, the two of them widened their eyes in shock.
"Not only have I not broken through, even my talent has decreased!"
Zhou Yan's face turned pale as he struggled to speak.
Originally, he was extremely talented in martial arts and had long since reached the peak of the Innate Realm. Thus, he was only a step away from becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
However, after consuming the Dragon Tiger Pill, his talent in martial arts decreased and in the end, he became trash.
"Is this retribution?"
Zhou Yan smiled bitterly.
"Brat, I advise you to obediently surrender, kneel down, and kowtow. Perhaps we can spare your life!"
At this moment, the thin man on the left spoke with a hoarse voice as his lips moved.
"Spare my life?" Zhou Yan laughed and shook his head: "If I surrender, I will definitely lose my life!"
"Since the two of you want me dead, there's no need to pretend..."
Zhou Yan's eyes remained indifferent.
"Brat, you're stubborn!"
The other burly man roared as he brandished his battle blade and slashed down fiercely.
Clang ~
In the next moment, an ear-piercing sound of metal clashing could be heard.
Plop ~ Plop ~
The bodies of the two shook and they were sent flying several yards away like kites that had their strings cut. They crashed onto the ground and struggled a few times, but they couldn't get up.
"How is this possible?"
The two were stunned.
This was a Rank 2 Battle Weapon that was incomparably sharp, yet it was actually blocked by Zhou Yan with his bare hands!
This scene had completely overturned their worldview.
"Brat, who exactly are you..."
After a short moment of absent-mindedness, the two men's faces turned pale as their bodies trembled and they cried out in fear.
They could not believe that a mere youth would have such terrifying strength!
"Who am I? Heh, you don't have the right to know!"
Zhou Yan's expression was cold as he slowly walked towards the two of them.
Although these two were ordinary martial cultivators, they could not be left alive!
After all, the identities of these masked men in black were unknown.
Zhou Yan thought of an idea and wanted to take the opportunity to kill the two of them to silence them.
"Brat, don't be reckless!"
They felt the danger and were scared to death. They used their backer and threatened, "Let me tell you, the Black Wind Stronghold is not easy to mess with. If you kill us, they will kill your whole family..."
"Oh? So what?"
Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly: "I, Zhou Yan, have always done whatever I want. I do whatever I want, why would I care about others?"
"Brat, you..."
Hearing that, the two of them were immediately at a loss for words. Their faces turned red, and they were unable to say anything.
"Kill!"
In the next moment, Zhou Yan's eyes turned cold. Not wanting to waste any more time, he suddenly attacked.
Bang! Bang!
As the two palm blades slashed out, two heads flew into the air as blood splattered all over the ground.
Whoosh ~
Zhou Yan let out a breath of impure air as his expression calmed down.
"My talent in martial arts has decreased, causing the true energy in my body to be lacking. I can't even use true energy..."
Zhou Yan frowned as he felt a huge obstacle.
Originally, he had a physique and true energy that was three times stronger than cultivators of the same cultivation level. Adding on his higher attainment in martial arts, once he used his martial skills, he would be able to instantly kill cultivators of the same cultivation level.
However, today, his martial arts talent had dropped by 30%, and his true energy was thin, causing his combat strength to greatly decrease.
"No matter what, my current cultivation speed is as slow as a snail compared to before..."
Zhou Yan sighed in his heart, but he was not discouraged.
In any case, he had a long lifespan. As long as he cultivated patiently, he would be able to recover his cultivation sooner or later.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, Zhou Yan raised his eyebrows as he noticed something.0
"This is..."
Looking over, he saw a faint silver light emitting from the body of the skinny man.
The bright silver light illuminated the surroundings.
"Silver light?"
Zhou Yan had a puzzled expression.
"No... There's something strange about this silver light!"
After carefully staring at the silver light for a long time, Zhou Yan's expression turned serious.
This ball of silver light seemed to possess some sort of special energy.
"Could it be that this is a Profound Grade pill?"
A thought flashed through Zhou Yan's mind as he blurted out.
Back then, Zhou Yan had once obtained a Silver Striped Grass.
The Silver Striped Grass could temper one's bones and increase the strength of one's physical body.
Logically speaking, the medicinal effects of the Silver Striped Grass shouldn't be so strong.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yan was just a piece of trash who couldn't absorb the effects of the medicine.
"Looks like there's a treasure here!"
"My luck is indeed heaven-defying!"
Zhou Yan licked the corner of his mouth as his eyes lit up.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Zhou Yan leaped forward and turned into an afterimage as he pounced towards the silver light.
"Haha... I knew it! These people's identities are strange, so they must have something good on them!"
