Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao
Chapter 179 - 076: Slaughter You!

Chapter 179: Chapter 076: Slaughter You!

At this moment, not a single person cared about Zhou Yan’s life and death. In the eyes of such powerful individuals, Zhou Yan was no more than an ant waiting to be slaughtered!

A surge of unspeakable rage welled up in Zhou Yan’s heart, but he fiercely suppressed it.

He took a deep breath, his gaze icy, his tone steady as he said, "Before that, I would like to inquire, how is my mother, Li Yunjin, now?"

"How dare you! Kneel down! Who do you think you’re talking to? You lack all respect and deference!"

Li Cangsheng seemed annoyed by Zhou Yan’s sudden interjection and immediately let out a furious shout.

At that shout, Zhou Yan’s seven orifices bled, and the meridians within his body were stretched to the breaking point!

Even with a body as powerful as that of a Sword Spirit, Zhou Yan was now subjected to destruction akin to annihilation.

Zhou Yan’s body shuddered, nearly completely drained of life by a single sentence. His heart seethed with towering rage, hatred penetrating to the bone.

Yet, he showed no sign of it, for he knew revealing even a sliver of his emotions would lead to an irreversible doom.

Only by becoming powerful himself could he avenge this day’s grudges.

"You may kill me. I don’t care about the bloodline of the Li Family. But Li Yunjin is of the Li Family’s pure bloodline, don’t you care about her life or death?"

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth. Under immense pressure, his legs shattered like broken bones, but he still stood, refusing to kneel!

Zhou Yan let his blood, crimson as a stream, flow all over his body, his voice cold as he spoke.

"Ah, still got some backbone, do you? But backbone, it just makes you die faster! Hmm, your qi and blood are excellent, good enough to be refined into a Blood Soul Pearl."

Li Cangsheng chuckled wickedly, as if the sight of fresh blood flowing from Zhou Yan piqued his interest.

The worm-like blood vessels writhing within his Spirit Armor seemed to swell slightly.

"This man, caring so much about his mother, is actually quite a rare sentimental sort. Why not just tell him about Li Yunjin’s situation? Brother Li, what do you think?"

Ji Shuitian spoke in a playful tone, her voice carrying even a hint of ’pity.’

It seemed Zhou Yan’s current situation was truly pitiable.

Yet, behind that playful demeanor, the immense will to kill had not lessened one bit.

This woman was like a smiling tiger.

Zhou Yan’s mental state, fortified by the coldness following immense anger, had grown even stronger, allowing him to grasp this woman’s thoughts more spiritually.

He had even sensed Li Cangsheng’s contempt for him as if he were just an ant.

"Lucky you, kid! Listen, although Li Yunjin previously suffered extreme suppression and torment, only her head remained intact, she has talent and has entered deep comprehension. Now, she has made some achievements.

The family, to compensate, granted her a chance—a chance to command me and also to enter the clan’s Ancient Land for seclusion and cultivation!"

"This opportunity, the clan said, whether she uses it herself or gives it to someone else, as long as there’s even a trace of the Li family’s bloodline, they can use it!"

"But she chose to enter the clan’s Ancient Land for her own cultivation, rather than choosing to let you go. So, you should give up hope now, shouldn’t you?"

Li Cangsheng watched Zhou Yan from above, his voice laced with mockery, seemingly awaiting Zhou Yan’s reaction.

However, upon hearing this, Zhou Yan showed no emotion, remaining as cold as a stone.

"Since Li Yunjin has had such good fortune, has escaped suppression and hardship, then you can take action now!"

Zhou Yan’s words were calm.

His heart was naturally disappointed, despairing at his mother Li Yunjin’s choice, because he sensed that Li Cangsheng’s words were true.

But he harbored no resentment, for this world was inherently cruel.

Perhaps, his mother hoped that once her own power was great enough, she could protect him, Zhou Yan, and his father, Zhou Wangchen?

That was the only thought Zhou Yan could hold onto. Yet, when he thought this way, for some reason, he suddenly felt an intense heartache.

With growth, the cruelty of reality descended step by step, and although many harsh realities from his master’s memories existed in his mind, when they befell him personally and he experienced such scenes firsthand, Zhou Yan still found it hard to let go.

Yet, heart-wrenching though it was, Zhou Yan would absolutely not sit idly by awaiting doom!

He was accumulating strength, and even if not using the Purple Flame Lotus to confront the boundless deadly assault, he could still transfer the powerful attack to the space between his brows.

Then, in the nearby Black Water, which was as bleak as the netherworld, if one entered, everyone’s strength would likely be greatly reduced!

Once power was equally diminished, in terms of combat strength, Zhou Yan would then have a significant advantage!

Zhou Yan had long formulated a battle strategy, and at this moment, he did not feel powerless.

"Take action? Of course, we will, but before that, I will extract every last drop of the Li family’s bloodline from you!" Li Cangsheng said, stretching his hand directly toward Zhou Yan’s head and emitting a mysterious light.

This colorless, shapeless light was felt by everyone present.

This light appeared suddenly on Zhou Yan, its speed so swift that Zhou Yan couldn’t even react.

Once the invisible light emerged on his body, Zhou Yan felt his body withering and aging at an extreme pace, as if in an instant, every drop of his ancient essence blood would be extracted by this light.

Zhou Yan’s heart was incredibly shocked; he had never imagined that he would be completely devoid of any power to resist!

His heart sank, and he immediately stimulated the channel that connected the Ji jade cold light ring in his hand to the Purple Flame Void between his eyebrows, beginning to gather the boundless aura of Purple Flame Thunder Light.

Zhou Yan knew that, at this moment, the only thing that could counter the cold and highly devouring unknown light was the Purple Flame Thunder Fire.

However, just as Zhou Yan had already gathered the flames to burn towards that invisible light beside him, the Void suddenly exploded, and another young and handsome man emerged.

This person, also clad in white, exuded a noble elegance, and his whole body carried an air of Vast Qi.

As soon as he appeared, he simply made a gesture with his empty hand, and the invisible light beside Zhou Yan immediately shattered into nothingness.

After the light turned into nothingness, the elegant young man in white slapped out his hand again, and a boundless drizzle surged towards Zhou Yan.

This speed was still so fast that Zhou Yan couldn’t even sense it.

As a cold chill hit his face and body, Zhou Yan immediately smelled the natural fragrance of green mountains and waters that permeated the air.

When this breath was absorbed into his body, Zhou Yan immediately felt his previously withered body revitalized with new strength. Moreover, this time the vitality was even stronger, as if he had taken a Supreme Divine Medicine.

"You dare to take action?"

While Zhou Yan was astonished in his heart, the young man in white had already coldly spoken.

But his tone was not a question directed at Zhou Yan, but a condescending interrogation aimed at Li Cangsheng.

"Wuhen Spirit, do you really intend to protect this little bastard?!"

The expression on Li Cangsheng’s face suddenly turned ugly.

Beside him, Fairy Ji Shuitian and Ji TaiXu also had grim and wary expressions at this moment.

"Little bastard?"

Upon hearing this, the young man in white’s face suddenly darkened, and with a flash of his figure, he instantly appeared in front of Li Cangsheng.

"Slap—"

A crisp sound of a slap suddenly rang out.

The great noise caused by this force made Zhou Yan, who was not far away, shudder.

"You, born out of wedlock and lowly, dare to attack a direct descendant? Zhou Wangchen from the Great Zhou Family has had unique encounters and also possesses pure blood from our Li Family in his body. He and the child of Li Yunjin have extremely pure bloodlines. How dare you spout such filthy and obscene language? You deserve to be slapped!"

After speaking, the young man in white slapped another ear.

This time, his movement was not fast, and Li Cangsheng could have dodged it.

However, full of hatred, Li Cangsheng did not dodge.

"Slap—"

Another slap came down, and half of Li Cangsheng’s face swelled up red, with trickles of fresh red blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"Li Wuxian, you oppress me with such methods, relying on your invincible Sword Spirit strength! But, today you insult me for a wretch, I will not let this go! When the ancestor comes out of seclusion, we’ll see how long you can remain arrogant!"

Li Cangsheng suddenly looked up and laughed loudly, his expression, already somewhat sinister, seemed even more ferocious.

"Since this is the case, then I shall slay you right here!"

Li Wuxian’s eyes were filled with a chilling intent to kill, almost ready to strike in an instant.

"Wuhen Spirit, wait, please don’t act rashly."

Finally, from the side, the Fairy Ji Shuitian from the Ji Family couldn’t stand by any longer and immediately spoke out to dissuade Li Cangsheng.

"Hmph! What are you? This is a Li Family matter, what does it have to do with you? Your earlier oppression of Zhou Yan, I will settle with you later!"

Li Wuxian was very proud, letting out a cold snort.

That one snort not only made Ji Shuitian’s face turn several shades paler, but Ji TaiXu directly spat out blood because of it.

"You dare to slay me?!"

Li Cangsheng seemed incredibly disbelieving, and the shock in his eyes was undoubtedly genuine.

"Li Family, is there anything I, Li Wuxian, dare not do? You’ve just awakened for a month and already causing chaos in the family! You truly deserve to die!"

Li Wuxian’s expression was icy cold, as the elegant Vast Qi around him suddenly turned into a terrifying killing intent, like a storm.

"Wuhen Spirit, there’s been movement in the tomb of the Sword Ancestor below, please come down quickly to help!"

Just at this moment, from the yellow springs below, the voice of Jia Yongheng suddenly came.

"Brother Yongheng, you’ve actually managed to open the Ancient Tomb of the Sword Ancestor?" Li Wuxian’s immense killing intent was directly shattered into nothingness by Jia Yongheng’s voice from within the yellow springs.

Yet, he was not displeased but rather surprised by the content of that sentence.

"Shuitian, you come down quickly too! Delay will lead to changes!" At this time, from within the yellow springs, another voice came from Ji Wudao.

However, there was a hint of reluctance in that voice.
