Chapter 358: Zi Yan’s Terrifying Power!

  "Still mouthing off when you're about to die. Today, I'll make sure to capture you and give Tao'er a proper expnation!"

  The bck-cd man pulled down his mask, revealing a face that bore a-point resembo Hong Tao, whom Zi Yan had entered oreet.

  In his hand, a sharp, gleaming saber appeared, its snow-white bde refleg a chilling glint uhe sunlight.

  "Swish!"

  "Swish!"

  The bck-cd man swung the saber a few times, cutting through the air with ease, causing subtle distortions in the space around him.

  Zi Yan, meanwhile, put away her map and stood with her hands on her hips, watg the bck-cd man's movements with i.

  The moment, deep Dou Qi surged out of the man's body, and a sudden gust of wind whipped up around the hilltop. Evidently, the man’s cultivation teique was wind-based, known for its speed and agility, while still delivering siderable attack power.

  "Spread out, block all her escape routes, and don’t let her get away!"

  At his and, the others, including the three-star Dou Emperor, retreated to the sides, surrounding Zi Yan.

  "Be a good girl and e with me!"

  After the others had spread out, the bck-cd man ched his fist, and the Dou Qi swirled around him like a tornado. Gripping his saber tightly, he s Zi Yan before stomping hard on the ground, his figure blurring as he shot toward her with lightning speed.

  "Hiss!"

  Boosted by his wind-based Dou Qi, the bck-cd man appeared before Zi Yan in the blink of an eye. His saber sshed down, produg several blinding arcs of bde light, aiming fiercely at Zi Yan.

  During this aggressive onsught, Zi Yan didn’t draw any ons. Instead, she slowly ched her small fist and, without any fir, punched forward.

  pletely ign the bde lights, her fist collided directly with the sharp edge of the saber.

  "Boom!"

  As her fist met the bde, a powerful energy wave exploded at the point of impact, sending shockwaves through the saber.

  Uhe intense vibration, the bck-cd man staggered back more thaeps, and a sizable crack had appeared on the hand gripping his saber, fresh blood seeping out tinuously.

  "How is this possible… She blocked a sword with her bare body? And this kind of strength—is it something a human possess?"

  Shaking his now-numb right arm, the bck-cd man looked at Zi Yan with a newfound sense of dread.

  The other attackers around them wore expressions of sheer shock.

  "Fourth Master is a seven-star Dou Emperor! How did this little girl mao knock him back with her bare strength? Is she even human?"

  "Not human? Then she must be a magical beast! But for a magical beast to take human form, it must reach the seventh rank. Could she really have the strength of a Dou Zong (Dou Aor)?"

  "You’re done, right? Now it’s my turn."

  While the bck-cd man and the others were still processing the situation, a brilliant purple light suddenly surged over Zi Yan’s fist.

  Up until now, she had only relied on the immense physical strength of her A Void Dragon bloodlio block the saber, but now she was beginning to el her Dou Qi. A fierce, oppressive aura filled the air.

  "Who would’ve thought a little girl could have such terrifying power!"

  At this moment, the bck-cd man finally sensed Zi Yan’s true strength. The aura she exuded had clearly reached the level of a high-rank Dou Emperor.

  As the dazzling purple light illuminated Zi Yan's fist, the bck-cd man immediately felt an overwhelming sense of danger. He quickly positioned his saber in front of him and jured a deep shield of Dou Qi.

  "Extreme Light Fist!"

  As Zi Yan silently shouted in her heart, the energy of heaven ah around her began te wildly. Her fist swu secutive times, sendi purple fist imprints hurtling toward the bck-cd man and the other seven attackers at a speed too fast for the naked eye to track.

  "Not good!"

  The seven men surrounding Zi Yan oher side had not expected that her attack would also include them. By the time they attempted to defend themselves, it was already too te. The purple fist imprints struck them with lightning speed.

  "Boom!"

  In the midst of eight violent explosions, all seven of the attackers, except for the seven-star Dou Emperor, were instantly engulfed by the purple light. Evehree-star Dou Emperor was no exception—his body shattered in an instant.

  As for the bck-cd leader, the shield he had jured in front of him only deyed the iable for a moment. The purple fist imprint, though slightly weakened, pierced through his saber and smmed directly into his chest.

  "Urgh!"

  A mouthful of blood spurted from the bck-cd man’s mouth as he was sent flying back several hundred meters by the impact, before crashing into a dense forest far away.

  After effortlessly dealing with the attackers, Zi Yan casually cpped her hands, then pulled out the map she had been studying earlier and calmly walked away from the hilltop.

  Five hours after Zi Ya, three figures arrived from the dire of Tianbei City. These three were her than Hong Li, the head of the Hong family, and two Dou Emperor elders from the family.

  "There are signs of a battle here!"

  As soon as they arrived above the hill, Hong Li caught the lingering st of blood in the air.

  After a short search, they found the bck-cd man who had been knocked into the forest by Zi Yan’s attack.

  However, more than half of the man’s body was already buried in the dirt, his clothes tattered and torn. His chest had a horrifying, gaping wound that tio bleed, turning the surrounding soil a deep red.

  Whehree newers reached him, the bck-cd man’s previously closed eyes slowly opened, and a look of extreme agitation appeared in his gaze.

  "Fourth Brother! Who did this to you?"

  Seeing this, Hong Li rushed to his side and quickly fed him a pill, p Dou Qi into his body to heal him.

  Despite the earlier flict between them in the hall, Hong Li was filled with boundless fury at seeing Hong Liang, one of the top five experts in the family, beaten into such a state for no apparent reason.

  "It was her… that little girl who iao’er!" Hong Liang weakly muttered.

  "That little girl possesses such strength?"

  Hearing Hong Liang’s answer, Hong Li was deeply shocked. He had known that Hong Liang and his group had goo pursue that girl, but he had never imagihat Zi Yan could be so powerful.

  "Are you sure it was just her? Did anyone from the Han family get involved?" Hong Li asked, his tone full of doubt.
