"Crack!"
"Clang!"
With two sharp sounds, everyone present saw Lin Hui, who had been attacking Zhou Xuan moments ago.
He was now sent flying by a single uppercut from Zhou Xuan.
And the attack from behind was also blocked mid-air by a halberd-like weapon.
"Damn it!"
"What is this thing?"
"Why can it actively appear and block my attack without anyone controlling it!"
Looking at Lin Hui, who was sent flying far away by Zhou Xuan's punch and lay on the ground, momentarily still.
Then he looked at the Lingtian War Halberd blocking his path.
Li Zicheng was instantly enraged.
Originally, seeing that Zhou Xuan was only focused on attacking Lin Hui and not defending against his attack, Li Zicheng had been secretly excited.
This was because he was absolutely confident in his surprise attack.
Even if Zhou Xuan was a cultivator two levels above him in the Creation Realm, taking one of his blows would at least result in severe injuries.
As for whether Lin Hui would be severely injured by Zhou Xuan while he was attacking Zhou Xuan, that was not within Li Zicheng's consideration.
After all, it was better for a fellow Daoist to die than himself.
It wasn't like he was the one being hit, so why bother with so much?
It was just that Li Zicheng had not expected that.
Zhou Xuan had managed to get hold of such a great halberd from somewhere.
Not only could it block his surprise attack without anyone controlling it,
but it was now also acting as a guardian.
This foiled Li Zicheng's attempt to strike and follow up with a killing blow.
Moreover, the surprise attack had failed, and Lin Hui had been knocked unconscious by Zhou Xuan.
This meant that from this moment on.
He would have to face Zhou Xuan alone.
Thinking about this, Li Zicheng felt his face turn green.
He couldn't even defeat Zhou Xuan with two people attacking and a surprise strike.
Now he had to face him alone.
What was the difference between this and being told to commit suicide?
"What's wrong?"
"Weren't you quite the loudmouth just now?"
"Why are you suddenly mute now!"
"Is it fun to sneak attack?"
"Do you want me to stand still again and let you try another one?"
After sending Lin Hui flying, Zhou Xuan calmly retracted his fist.
Then he turned around, directly grasping the Lingtian War Halberd suspended in mid-air.
He then looked at Li Zicheng, whose expression was constantly changing, with a playful grin.
"Ptooey!"
"You little brat, don't get too smug!"
"You're just relying on a divine weapon!"
"If you have the guts..."
"Are you going to say that if I have the guts!"
"I should throw away this weapon and have a fair duel with you?"
"Heh heh!"
"Give me a break!"
"Do you think this is a movie?"
"Don't be so ridiculous!"
"Why didn't you say that when you were holding a weapon and sneak attacking me?"
"Now that you see you can't win, you want to start playing dirty tricks!"
"Who do you think you are?"
"I don't want to waste any more words with you!"
"Honestly tell me the truth about the night my Zhou family was massacred ten years ago!"
"I can consider leaving you with an intact corpse!"
"Otherwise, your Li family will no longer have any reason to exist in this world!"
Seeing Li Zicheng opening his mouth to act shamelessly, Zhou Xuan directly interrupted him.
Then, his gaze turned cold, and he directly inquired about the circumstances of the Zhou family's tragedy ten years ago.
Although he knew that Li Zicheng had not actually participated in the Zhou family massacre ten years ago.
So he was unlikely to know the details.
However, Zhou Xuan still held onto a sliver of hope.
What if Li Zicheng could reveal some different clues?
"Hahaha!"
"Kid, who are you trying to scare?"
"I, Li Zicheng, have lived this long!"
"What kind of storms haven't I experienced!"
"You're too young to get information from me!"
"Even if I die today, you won't get a single clue from my mouth!"
"It's just a pity!"
"I didn't witness the tragic scene of your parents and clansmen's demise firsthand back then!"
"Otherwise, I would really be happy to share it with you now!"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's threat, Li Zicheng burst into laughter.
He showed no sign of panic at all; instead, a faint mockery hung on his face.
It was as if he was ridiculing Zhou Xuan's threat as being too low-level.
"Is that so?"
"So, you can disregard the life of your own son?"
Seeing Li Zicheng's arrogant demeanor, Zhou Xuan did not get angry.
He just smiled at him.
Then, he said in a casual tone, a sentence that made the other party's heart skip a beat.
"What do you mean?"
"Tianyou is still alive?"
Hearing Zhou Xuan's words, Li Zicheng immediately dropped his smile.
Then he turned his head, his face dark, but with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, he stared at Zhou Xuan.
He had initially thought that since Zhou Xuan had appeared at their Li family's residence,
his son must be doomed.
However, he had not expected that, judging by Zhou Xuan's words, his son was not dead yet.
This caused a spark of hope to ignite in Li Zicheng's previously despairing heart!
"Take a look yourself!"
Seeing Li Zicheng's reaction, Zhou Xuan did not offer any further explanation.
He just waved his hand, and Li Tianyou's figure was released from the Void Ring.
"Tianyou!"
"You're really alive!"
Seeing the familiar figure appear before him.
Li Zicheng, excited, was about to step forward.
But he found that Zhou Xuan's hand had already firmly clasped Li Tianyou's neck.
"I just wanted you to see that he is alive!"
"But I didn't say I was going to return him to you!"
"Now, can you tell me the answer I want?"
"Stop, you stop!"
"What do you want to know?"
"I'll tell you everything!"
"The Zhou family incident back then was caused by my grandfather and me!"
"It has nothing to do with Tianyou!"
"You let him go first, and I'll tell you anything you want to know!"
Seeing Zhou Xuan's hand tighten slightly around Li Tianyou's neck.
Li Zicheng, who had been so arrogant moments ago, was now in a panic.
He quickly lowered his voice and begged Zhou Xuan.
"You said it yourself!"
"Now, you answer what I ask!"
"If there's any deceit!"
"You can wait to collect your son's corpse!"
Looking at Li Zicheng, who had knelt before him with a humble expression, Zhou Xuan showed no sympathy.
Because if it weren't for this guy in front of him and his father.
Zhou Xuan would have had a very happy family!
Then Zhou Xuan tidied his thoughts and began to ask Li Zicheng questions based on what he had asked Li Tianyou a few days prior.
Perhaps it was because he was afraid that his son was still in Zhou Xuan's hands.
Li Zicheng was very cooperative this time.
He answered whatever he was asked.
Half an hour slowly passed.
Zhou Xuan finally finished asking all the questions he wanted to know.
"It seems Li Tianyou didn't lie!"
"His father's confession is the same as his!"
"In that case, we can only target the families behind the scenes from back then!"
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan's gaze slowly locked onto a corner of the hall.
To be precise, it was locked onto a young girl in that corner.
And this girl was none other than Qin Wan'er, who had been loudly demanding her Uncle Hui to deal with Zhou Xuan earlier.
However, the current Qin Wan'er had lost all her previous arrogance.
Seeing Zhou Xuan's gaze lock onto her, Qin Wan'er's legs instantly went weak with fear.
At this moment, only one thought occupied her mind.
"Damn it, why was I so talkative before!"
