She knew that Zhou Yan was absolutely not joking. If he really wanted to kill her, she would have nowhere to hide, and then her father would really hold Zhou Yan accountable, and she would be in great trouble.
Seeing the constantly changing expression on the face of the woman in black, Zhou Yan curled his lips into a smile and said, "I know you are afraid of death. If you tell me everything you know now, I will spare your life and guarantee that I won't kill your father's clansmen. Otherwise, I will definitely let your father know the consequences of angering me."
The woman in black was immediately relieved upon hearing Zhou Yan's words. She had not expected Zhou Yan to say such things. It seemed that Zhou Yan truly dared not kill her father.
With that thought, she revealed everything she knew, including Yun Chen's identity, Yun Chen's background, and the dealings between Yun Chen, Lin Xin'er, and others.
"I know all of this," Zhou Yan said nonchalantly.
Hearing Zhou Yan's words, the woman in black was stunned, and then asked, "When did you know? Did you send someone to investigate our identities? Who did you send?"
"You don't need to know that. In short, you know what I want to do now," Zhou Yan said indifferently.
Upon hearing Zhou Yan's words, the woman in black couldn't help but sneer, "Zhou Yan, it seems your IQ is not high. You don't even know what realm your father is, and you still want to kill my father. Do you think you have the ability to do that?"
Zhou Yan smiled faintly upon hearing the woman in black's words and said, "Whether I have the ability or not, you'll find out soon. Now is the time for me to send you to your demise."
As his voice fell, Zhou Yan gently waved his right hand. Immediately, an invisible wind surged around him and rushed towards the woman in black. The woman in black quickly dodged to the side.
Seeing that the woman in black could still dodge under his attack, Zhou Yan's face showed excitement. He knew his strength was still formidable, so he did not stop attacking the woman in black, but continued to attack. He believed that it wouldn't be long before the woman in black was defeated by him, as the gap in their cultivation was too large.
Seeing Zhou Yan's attacks becoming more and more fierce, the woman in black's face turned much paler. However, she did not give up resisting, because she knew that if she gave up, she would completely lose her chance of survival. Rather than that, she would rather fight to the death.
Seeing that the woman in black did not give up, Zhou Yan did not stop attacking either. His aura continuously surged, and in just a few seconds, his strength had directly advanced from the early stage of the Earth Sage realm to the middle stage of the Earth Sage realm. Then, a huge phantom appeared behind him.
That phantom was the Martial Soul condensed by Zhou Yan, a long spear exuding a metallic luster.
As soon as the golden spear appeared, the woman in black's face changed greatly, because that golden spear was Zhou Yan's weapon, the Vajra Spear!
"How about it? Is the power of this martial skill enough to kill you?" A sinister smile appeared on Zhou Yan's lips. His current strength had reached the peak of the Half-step Martial Emperor realm, and with the aid of martial skills, his combat power was practically monstrous.
Moreover, the power of the Vajra Spear was also extremely formidable. He had once killed a Half-step Martial Ancestor, and although he had not used his full strength, nor any secret treasures, he had easily killed a Half-step Martial Ancestor with just the Vajra Spear.
Therefore, Zhou Yan believed that with the Vajra Spear, he should be able to finish off this woman in black.
The woman in black was greatly shocked by Zhou Yan's words, but she still did not give up resisting. Instead, she circulated her true essence to try and deflect Zhou Yan's Vajra Spear.
Unfortunately, who was Zhou Yan? He was no ordinary martial artist, but a genius youth with extraordinary talent. His strength had long reached the peak of the Martial King realm, so he had already mastered such martial arts.
As soon as his Vajra Spear broke free from the restraint of the golden spear, it turned into a stream of light and shot towards the woman in black.
The Vajra Spear was extremely fast. A golden stream of light shot out and in the blink of an eye, it reached the woman in black.
Seeing this, the woman in black's face changed greatly. She knew that she had no retreat and could only fight head-on.
With that thought, she flipped her palm, and a silver needle appeared in her hand.
The silver needle was silver and transparent, flashing with a cold gleam under the sunlight.
The woman in black flicked her wrist, and the silver needle shot towards the spear in front of her.
The woman in black's speed was very fast, and her movements were extremely strange, even slightly faster than the golden spear. In the blink of an eye, it collided with the golden spear.
The two met in mid-air with a crisp 'ding' sound, and both the golden spear and the silver needle were repelled.
The two weapons collided, and it was an even match. The woman in black was secretly surprised.
However, just as the woman in black was in shock, her body was suddenly pierced by the golden spear. She only managed to let out a pained scream before falling to the ground and dying.
Seeing the woman in black killed by his sword, Zhou Yan's expression was calm. He showed no mercy, because he knew that the woman in black had to die, and he would leave no loopholes.
The woman in black died, and she died very unjustly. She never imagined that at her most critical moment, it was Zhou Yan who had saved her. If she had not met Zhou Yan, perhaps even if she hadn't been killed by this man, she would have been killed by another man.
Her cultivation was not weak, yet she was powerless against a Half-step Martial Emperor realm expert.
Zhou Yan retrieved the Vajra Spear, then picked up the woman in black's storage ring, threw it into his Qiankun Bag, and then left the cave.
After leaving the cave, Zhou Yan did not return to the Zhou family immediately. Instead, he flew towards the depths of the valley. Not long after, Zhou Yan's body appeared in a valley covered with various trees, resembling a primeval forest.
At this moment, Zhou Yan stopped at a slightly elevated spot in the valley. Looking at the situation below, a cruel look flashed across his face. Then, he exerted force with both arms and plunged towards the valley below.
Zhou Yan's figure disappeared. A moment later, his body landed on the ground. Then, with a flicker of his body, he charged out of the valley, and soon, Zhou Yan's figure vanished.
After Zhou Yan's figure disappeared, the ground around him suddenly cracked, revealing a large stone.
