Chapter 397: What a Grand Entrance
At that very moment, Yan Haixuan’s power had already seeped into the bodies of the Butcher and Qiu Shirong.
They were merely Third-Realm Great Venerables. How could they possibly stand a chance against a Creation Realm expert?
They felt their strength drain away as the vital energy and blood roiled within them.
"I’ve said it before: all those beneath the Creation Realm are nothing but ants."
Before they knew it, Yan Haixuan was standing right in front of the Butcher and Qiu Shirong.
He lifted his hands, and a gentle force helped Qiu Shirong up from the ground.
The force seemed gentle, but the two men could clearly feel the terrifying might it contained.
The pressure of a Creation Realm expert was not something they could ever hope to resist.
"Wh-what do you want?" the Butcher blustered.
Yan Haixuan didn’t deign to reply. Power surged from his body, enveloping Qiu Shirong and the Butcher.
The pressure from this power intensified with each passing moment.
Under Yan Haixuan’s power, Qiu Shirong and the Butcher could feel their life force steadily draining away.
In just a few short moments, it felt as if their lives were coming to an end!
"I won’t kill you just yet. Go take a nap."
With a wave of his hand, Yan Haixuan sent the Butcher and Qiu Shirong tumbling into the distance, where they fell unconscious.
And with that, everyone guarding the first line of defense around the Mu Family residence was grievously injured, but none were dead.
Their lives were spared not out of any mercy from the Yan Family, but because the family was in the middle of a much larger game.
Yan Haixuan got back in the car, which continued on, slowly driving onto the Mu Family grounds.
"Fifth Grand-uncle, you were incredible just now!"
Yan Duo, whose left arm was now a bandaged stump, sat beside a refined-looking old man.
"When you reach this level, you’ll understand just how powerful the Creation Realm truly is."
Yan Haixuan chuckled, then looked at the refined old man. "Third Brother, you and Fourth Brother should stay in the car later. It’s just Yan Qingshan. I’m more than enough to handle him."
"Let Fourth Brother go with you."
This refined-looking elder was none other than the Yan Family’s third son, Yan Haichuan, an expert at the Middle Stage of the Creation Realm.
Moreover, after his recent seclusion, his cultivation was showing faint signs of an impending breakthrough to the Late Stage.
"Third Brother, from what I know, that Yan Qingshan only just entered the Creation Realm a few days ago. You really don’t think I can crush him?" Yan Haixuan asked, stroking his beard in displeasure.
"That young woman is showing faint signs of a breakthrough. It might be tricky for you to fight two-on-one. Having Fourth Brother get out is just a precaution, to make sure nothing goes wrong," Yan Haichuan said calmly.
"Third Brother is right. I’ll get out and accompany Fifth Brother," the fourth brother, Yan Haibin, nodded.
Yan Haixuan had no choice but to acquiesce.
"Third Grand-uncle, can I get out of the car?" Yan Duo asked, his face a mixture of anticipation and simmering rage. "I want to let out some of this anger."
"You may get out, but stay by your Fourth Grand-uncle’s side," Yan Haichuan nodded.
Yan Duo was overjoyed. "Thank you, Third Grand-uncle!"
The three men had just stepped out of the car.
Yan Qingshan took a step forward. "Quite the grand entrance!"
From their position in the courtyard, they had naturally seen what had become of the Butcher, Qiu Shirong, and the others outside.
The thunderstorm still raged, but no one had retreated. They continued to defend the medicinal garden to the death.
"Chairman Yan, we’ve come for one person. Please be accommodating," Yan Haixuan said, taking a few steps forward.
Yan Haibin, responsible for Yan Duo’s safety, also stepped forward.
"I’ve known all along that you came for Divine Doctor Jiang. But don’t delude yourselves. Please leave the Mu Family’s property." Yan Qingshan had no choice but to be firm.
Even so, he could see that both Yan Haibin and Yan Haixuan possessed Creation Realm cultivation on par with his own.
"Leave now, and we can pretend none of this ever happened," Leng Ning said, walking over to stand beside Yan Qingshan.
"Nothing happened? Impossible!" Yan Duo stomped his foot and practically jumped. "You cut off my arm! Even if every single one of you dies, it won’t bring it back!"
"We showed your Yan Family enough respect by not killing you then," Leng Ning said coldly.
Yan Haixuan could no longer remain indifferent. "What a sharp-tongued woman!"
"If that’s how it is, then let’s fight."
Yan Qingshan and Leng Ning exchanged a glance and charged toward Yan Haixuan in unison.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
In an instant, a deafening series of sonic booms erupted. The three clashed, unleashing explosions of energy and sending terrifying shockwaves pulsing outwards.
However, Yan Qingshan and Leng Ning were already experienced in this type of battle.
The two of them had previously joined forces to kill the Huang Family’s patriarch, Huang Yaocheng.
But Yan Haixuan was another matter. While it was true he was a Creation Realm expert like Yan Qingshan, his ability to fight two-on-one was far inferior to the combined might of Yan Qingshan and Leng Ning.
Thus, from the very beginning of the fight, Yan Qingshan and Leng Ning had the upper hand.
BAM!
Yan Qingshan lashed out with a kick, the terrifying force sending Yan Haixuan flying.
"Die!"
At the same time, Leng Ning struck, her fist rocketing out to viciously slam into Yan Haixuan.
CRACK!
Just as he was sent flying by Yan Qingshan’s kick, he was struck by Leng Ning’s fist, sending him hurtling backward.
*Cough, cough, cough...*
Blood trickled from the corner of Yan Haixuan’s mouth. His injuries were not light.
"Fifth Brother!"
Seeing this, Yan Haibin rushed over without hesitation and helped Yan Haixuan up. "Are you alright?"
