Chapter 1334: Finally Drew You Out
The situation unfolded far too suddenly, completely beyond Zheng Qianjun’s expectations.
On top of that, Yang Yan’s strength was right there before him; he had no time at all to stop it, and could only watch helplessly as his own son’s cultivation was crippled.
Zheng Qianjun’s eyes turned blood-red as he roared, "You damned bastard, pay with your life for my son!"
As his voice fell, he went mad-like and unleashed the Jade Ghost Palm, slapping at Yang Yan again and again.
Yang Yan’s lips curled into a disdainful smile as he dodged nimbly, his words continually provoking Zheng Qianjun at the same time.
Zheng Qianjun nearly went insane and couldn’t help but pour even more force into his attacks.
Yang Yan darted left and right; each time, his opponent could only hit his afterimages.
This storm-like barrage lasted for about ten minutes before Zheng Qianjun finally came back to his senses; his opponent was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
But just as he hesitated for a moment, Yang Yan launched his counterattack.
With a shout, his figure suddenly vanished from where he stood; when he appeared again, he was already in front of Zheng Qianjun, then followed up with a tempest of blows.
Yang Yan had no intention of directly killing the other party; he abandoned his weapon, every punch landing solidly on flesh.
In an instant, Zheng Qianjun had no power to fight back at all; he was beaten into repeatedly vomiting blood, as wretched as one could possibly be.
However, he was after all a long-renowned expert and the core of the entire Zheng Clan; Zheng Qianjun had not let hatred completely overwhelm his mind. On the contrary, Yang Yan’s terrifying strength made him all the more calm.
Before coming, he had already contacted Po Jun, the Island Master of Chaotic Star Island.
By his estimation, Po Jun should be arriving soon.
Even while being beaten passively, he still gritted his teeth and endured.
He hoped Po Jun would see how wretched he was at this moment and be enraged into taking action.
Yang Yan, though he saw that the other wanted to drag things out, did not care in the slightest.
At this moment, he had already taken Zheng Qianjun as a whetstone, continually tempering his own body and Spiritual Power.
Suddenly, Yang Yan sensed a strange fluctuation appear out of nowhere behind him, and his eyes instantly darkened.
The next moment, an attack struck toward his back with lightning speed.
Yang Yan couldn’t bother hiding his strength anymore; he instantly used Instant Teleportation, hurriedly pulling away.
The attack just now only caught the afterimage left by his rapid movement and did not cause him any actual harm at all.
Yang Yan stood proudly in midair, his gaze sweeping over the two people to his left and right, a disdainful smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"I finally drew you out. Po Jun, Island Master of Chaotic Star Island—your strength is indeed extraordinary."
Po Jun’s gaze was gloomy; without a word, he launched his first attack.
Zheng Qianjun had long been waiting for this opportunity; his power erupted in full as he lunged at Yang Yan.
Facing two opponents alone—one at late Nascent Soul, one at mid Nascent Soul—Yang Yan naturally did not dare be careless.
Even with his Flawless Divine Body, a slight lapse in attention could get him injured.
Though it wouldn’t be fatal, he had no interest in experiencing that.
Yang Yan summoned Nascent Void, which transformed into a Longsword and thrust into the fray.
Bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
The three clashed continuously in midair, trading blow for blow, dazzling to the eye.
The aftermath of the battle fell upon the land and sea below, causing massive destruction; in just a short time, everything was reduced to shattered ruins, a scene of utter devastation.
Seeing the two cooperate so seamlessly and unable to break the stalemate for the moment, Yang Yan abandoned Po Jun, forcibly shouldering one of Po Jun’s strikes with Nascent Void, then used his left hand like a blade and chopped off one of Zheng Qianjun’s arms.
Po Jun froze for a moment, then immediately saw through Yang Yan’s strategy.
He secretly shielded the now one-armed Zheng Qianjun behind him, giving him a chance to catch his breath.
Because he knew very well that the strength Yang Yan displayed was almost equal to his own, and even more focused on offense. If Zheng Qianjun completely lost his fighting ability, he himself would have no advantage at all.
Seeing Po Jun had seen through his plan, Yang Yan let out a cold laugh; seven-colored radiance flared behind him as the Five-colored Extreme Soldiers appeared out of thin air.
At this sight, Po Jun couldn’t help widening his eyes as he stammered, "Who in the world are you?! You actually possess five Extreme Soldiers!"
Yang Yan ignored him entirely; seizing the moment when Po Jun’s mind wavered, he suddenly moved, sending all five Extreme Soldiers out at once.
Po Jun’s expression sank; he didn’t dare take them head-on and feinted aside to dodge.
But when he successfully evaded, he suddenly realized in shock that Yang Yan’s target was not him, but Zheng Qianjun behind him, who was busy healing.
Caught completely off guard, Zheng Qianjun had no time to react at all; blood scattered through the air as he crashed heavily to the ground, life or death unknown.
Yang Yan’s pressure instantly lessened; widening the distance, he unleashed Godslaying Halberd at Po Jun.
Although Po Jun sensed the danger, no matter how he searched, he still couldn’t detect where it was coming from, and was struck head-on by Yang Yan.
He only felt his blood and qi surge as his mind instantly went blank.
With one successful strike, Yang Yan immediately urged Nascent Void down at Po Jun.
With the sound of bones shattering, Po Jun’s chest caved in as he spewed a mouthful of old blood, his body crashing to the ground like tattered cloth.
For a moment, the entire small island seemed to quake like in an earthquake; houses collapsed with a roar, and those with weaker cultivation all fell to the ground, some even coughing up blood as well.
Yang Yan landed on the ground, narrowing his eyes as he looked at the barely-breathing Po Jun.
Discovering that this man’s mind was in disarray, he couldn’t help being shocked at the power of the Spiritual Attack Technique.
Po Jun absolutely could not be killed, but to set an example, Zheng Qianjun had to die.
However, just as Yang Yan was about to finish Zheng Qianjun off, a sudden change occurred.
He saw a faint fluctuation emerging from the body of Zheng Qianjun, who had been lying limp on the ground, hanging by a thread.
Yang Yan had experienced Teleportation Arrays many times and had personally studied similar Spatial Arrays; he was extremely familiar with this kind of fluctuation.
His gaze hardened, and he immediately launched an attack toward Zheng Qianjun.
But he was ultimately a step too slow; he could only watch as Zheng Qianjun vanished into thin air within a pillar of light, leaving no trace.
Leaving together with him were Zheng Hua and that Elder Zheng.
Yang Yan knew full well that his conflict with Zheng Qianjun was irreconcilable and that he absolutely could not leave such a threat alive. He promptly sat cross-legged on the ground, using the remaining spatial information to deduce the teleportation’s destination.
A moment later, Yang Yan opened his eyes, his gaze blazing as he glanced toward the Void in the west.
With a faint ripple, Yang Yan’s figure quickly turned illusory; he had already torn open space and was tracking along Zheng Qianjun’s aura.
The people on the island were still shaken with fear; Daoist Mu, whose cultivation was the highest, was the first to recover.
He took a deep breath, slightly steadying himself, and sent a voice transmission to Li Cangjun, the Li Family Patriarch, recounting everything that had happened.
A stick of incense later, Li Cangjun hurried over, covered in dust from travel.
Arriving at the same time was Mo Xing, the Mo Family Patriarch.
The two of them surveyed the scene, and their gazes quickly fell upon Po Jun, the Island Master of Chaotic Star Island.
Feeling the aura on his body, the two exchanged shocked looks.
But given how urgent the situation was, they still chose to hurry and treat him first.
At the same time, they quickly ordered everyone to tend to the wounded and clean up the battlefield.
