Chapter 444: Chapter 171: The So-Called Genius? Merely So-So! (6k)_4
Feng Cheng finished speaking and was about to rush forward. Even if he had to self-destruct his Golden Core, he wanted to buy Zhou and the others a chance to escape.
"Wait, look over there—"
Hu Xuantang glanced over unintentionally, but then he seemed to see something unbelievable and hurriedly shouted out loud.
Feng Cheng stopped in his tracks and turned around full of confusion, his eyes widening instantly.
Outside the city, Yan Xiaohu wiped the blood from his mouth, enduring the pain from his injuries. He hurriedly helped Lu Yaoyao up and shielded her behind him.
He stared vigilantly at Li Hanshan ahead, prepared to fend off any attacks.
Li Hanshan, holding a large black halberd, was about to step forward and finish off the two. But at that moment, his pupils contracted sharply, and his eyes filled with disbelief.
He saw Array Flags spinning in the air, followed by the remaining Restrictions that had been hidden starting to break apart voluntarily. As the swirling dust gradually dispersed, Zhou’s silhouette slowly emerged from it.
Though he was somewhat exhausted and covered in wounds, he stood tall and straight, dragging the half-dead Yu Ziqi like a dead dog as he walked step by step out of the dust.
The once arrogant Yu Ziqi now hung his head, with blood gushing from the wound between his waist looking exceedingly tragic.
Zhou’s lips curled slightly into a mocking smile as he looked directly at Li Hanshan. In a tone tinged with amusement, he loudly said, "Heaven’s Pride? Not so much!"
As his words fell, his previously withered aura seemed to be replenished in an instant, returning to its peak condition.
"Fourth Brother!"
"Brother Zhou!"
The two looked shocked at this sight, then turned ecstatic and hurriedly rushed over.
How could it be possible that Yu Ziqi ended up like this by Zhou in such a short time?
Incredible!
Li Hanshan narrowed his eyes at Zhou, knowing he should never underestimate this person.
"Brother Zhou!" Lu Yaoyao, who had come up beside him, immediately stuffed the previous Golden Talisman into Zhou’s hand.
It wasn’t used last time to scare the Blood Bone Old Ghost, but this time, it might come in handy.
Zhou understood instantly, their chances were now even better.
"It seems everyone underestimated you!"
Li Hanshan’s expression remained calm, but his grip on the halberd tightened. He then pointed it directly at Zhou, with a hint of cold killing intent in his eyes, and said slowly.
"I won’t give you any more time to grow!" Li Hanshan said again.
The speed at which the opponent was growing was too fast. No matter what, he had to be left here today.
Facing the threat, Zhou merely smiled, pointing his Broken Sword at Li Hanshan without any intention of backing down. He said, "Likewise, I’ll say the same to you."
But at that moment, a strong sense of crisis surged in Zhou’s heart, making his hair stand on end.
Suddenly, he looked up into the sky, and there, for an unknown amount of time, stood a figure in a red robe with hands behind his back. The cold stare sent a chilling sense of intimidation.
Feeling the immense pressure, a jade token immediately appeared in Zhou’s hand, ready to activate at any moment.
Yan Xiaohu and Lu Yaoyao turned pale as paper and quickly huddled closer to Zhou.
"Palace Master!" Li Hanshan, who also sensed the overwhelming aura, immediately showed joy on his face.
Sikong Yan merely lifted his foot lightly, and in an instant, he appeared in front of Zhou and the other two with a speed too fast for anyone to react.
The three of them immediately took a step back in unison.
Sikong Yan glanced at the already dead Yu Ziqi with indifference in his eyes, and then slowly turned his gaze to Zhou and Yan Xiaohu.
"This is our first meeting, isn’t it?"
Sikong Yan slowly spoke in a low, cold voice, sending a chill through everyone’s body.
