Chapter 398: Step Aside, You Have Been Defeated
"I’m fine!"
Yan Haixuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up. "I can’t believe these two wastes actually managed to fight me for so long!"
"Don’t be hasty!"
Yan Haibin took a pill from his robes and stuffed it into Yan Haixuan’s mouth. "Recover your strength, quickly!"
"Mm!"
Yan Haixuan nodded, closed his eyes, and quickly began to absorb the pill’s effects.
"Chairman Yan, are you sure you want to fight to the death?" Yan Haibin said slowly, stalling for time.
"If you refuse to retreat, then we have no choice but to fight to the death," Yan Qingshan said, recovering his strength. He made no move to attack the newly arrived Yan Haibin.
After all, one of them was merely at the Creation Realm, and the other at the Peak of Nine Great Venerable.
But their opponents were two masters in the Creation Realm!
"Now, my Yan Family will give you a choice."
Yan Haibin said coldly, "Either step aside now, or submit to my Yan Family!"
"Stepping aside is out of the question," Leng Ning suddenly interjected.
"And submission is even less likely."
Yan Qingshan shook his head. "However, I propose that you could choose to submit to us instead."
For now, they just needed to stall for time and wait for Jiang Xinghai to emerge from his seclusion.
"Submit to you?"
Yan Haibin roared with laughter amidst the thunder and rain. "Yan Qingshan, the arrogance!"
"No matter how arrogant I may sound, I have the strength to back it up," Yan Qingshan said without a trace of fear.
He was just frustrated that Yan Haixuan was still recovering. His mind raced, searching for a strategy to deal with his foes.
"Fourth Brother, stop wasting your breath on them!"
Yan Haixuan suddenly stood up. "I’m almost recovered. Let’s strike together and take these two down."
"Fine!" Yan Haibin agreed.
’Dragging this out any longer would be a stain on the Yan Family’s name.’
Yan Haixuan had already charged forward, with Yan Haibin quickly joining the fray.
They moved with incredible speed.
Yan Haixuan and Yan Haibin advanced in unison, one attacking Yan Qingshan and the other targeting Leng Ning.
Their power was not to be underestimated. Each of their moves was infused with immense Inner Strength, threatening to tear the very air apart.
For a time, the four were locked in a fierce and evenly matched struggle.
Yan Qingshan’s Fist Skill was like the wind—fast and ferocious, like a wild lion swiping with its claws.
Yan Haixuan remained expressionless, meeting every move with a steadfast defense. No matter how ferocious Yan Qingshan’s attacks became, he could parry them and counter.
Leng Ning’s Sword Skill was like flowing water—agile and relentless.
In contrast, Yan Haibin’s Sword Skill blended hardness with softness, strength with subtlety, forcing Leng Ning onto the defensive with every strike.
Yan Qingshan and Leng Ning’s attacks grew progressively weaker, while Yan Haixuan and Yan Haibin’s assault only intensified.
Yan Qingshan was visibly losing ground, and Leng Ning was now covered in wounds, her clothes stained red with blood.
THUD! Overpowered, Leng Ning collapsed to the ground, with no strength left to fight.
"I’ll risk it all!" Yan Qingshan roared and lunged, only to be sent flying by a joint attack from the two brothers, Yan Haibin and Yan Haixuan.
"Move aside! You’ve lost!" Yan Haibin roared.
"Third Grand-uncle said to leave them alive."
Yan Duo arrived, braving the rain. "However, I’ll be dealing with that woman personally."
He naturally wanted revenge for his severed arm, but more than that, he wanted to humiliate her cruelly.
"Fine. Take her," Yan Haibin nodded.
"You fiends, how dare you!"
Just then, a figure shot in from the distance like a meteor, landing in front of Yan Qingshan and Leng Ning.
The newcomer was none other than Shen Zhengye.
After learning from Yan Qingshan that Jiang Xinghai was in seclusion and that danger was imminent, he had rushed over without a moment’s delay.
With him was Du Jingsong.
After consuming several Gathering Essence Pills, their cultivation had skyrocketed, and both had reached the Realm of the Ninth-Grade Great Venerable.
"Members of the Yan Family, you’ve gone too far!" Du Jingsong declared, appearing before the crowd.
Seeing Shen Zhengye and Du Jingsong, Yan Haixuan and Yan Haibin were momentarily stunned.
Then, they both began to sneer.
Yan Haixuan said, "If I recall correctly, you must be that old man, Du Jingsong from Jizhou, right?"
"As for this one," Yan Haibin chimed in, glancing at Shen Zhengye, "I don’t recognize him."
"Who cares who he is. They’re both nothing more than Ninth-Grade Great Venerables. Perfect timing. Since you also want to block the Yan Family’s path, then you can all stay here today!" The moment Yan Haixuan finished speaking, he and Yan Haibin attacked in unison.
"You two, be careful!" Yan Qingshan warned.
He knew that even with Shen Zhengye and Du Jingsong joining them, their side wasn’t much stronger. All they could do was continue to stall for time.
At the same time, a beautiful woman in a white tracksuit appeared. It was none other than Shen Lingxue, a woman of both talent and beauty.
She gazed at Jiang Xinghai, who was meditating in the herb garden and trying to break through to the next realm. Her eyes were filled with worry and heartache.
She possessed the special Thousand Derivation Spiritual Body. After her Yin-Yang Fusion with Jiang Xinghai, she had gained immense benefits. Aided by several Gathering Essence Pills, she had reached the level of a Ninth-Realm Venerable in just half a month!
Of course, she knew that this level of strength was nothing more than an ant before an expert of the Creation Realm.
But even so, she fearlessly took her place as the last line of defense guarding Jiang Xinghai.
