"I remember our deal was already done. What are you doing here?"
Yang Fan suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Doing what?"
Zhao Yunhai casually picked at his ear.
Seeing this, Si Jinyan immediately waved for his men to aim their guns.
"You think you know so much about me. Did you ever consider the consequences?"
Zhao Yunhai said with a smile.
His treacherous smile made Elder Nie's eyes turn cold.
"Kid, even if you are from the Zhao clan, I will make sure you never return today."
"You walk the path to heaven when there is none, and you throw yourself into hell when the gate is closed."
"So young and ignorant of the world. Many tried to kill me back in the day, and they all ended up in hell."
Zhao Yunhai sneered dismissively and snorted coldly.
"Old man, I'll do you a favor today. After I kill your disciple, I'll send you down to accompany him."
Feng Lao, standing beside Zhao Yunhai, stepped forward. The internal energy of a peak Xiantian realm expert circulated through his meridians.
A powerful aura erupted from him.
Elder Nie's expression changed in shock.
He never expected this young man to have a peak Xiantian realm expert by his side.
He was caught off guard and even felt a desire to retreat.
He realized that although his injuries had healed, his strength had weakened considerably.
He could barely maintain the Xiantian realm now, and fighting against a peak Xiantian realm opponent was impossible.
The difference in strength was not slight.
Moreover, there were so many people watching covetously.
"Master, what do we do?"
As expected of master and disciple, Yang Fan also felt a desire to retreat at this moment.
He had witnessed Zhao Yunhai's ruthlessness.
Since Zhao Yunhai had appeared before him and expressed his intent to kill him, he must have had sufficient confidence.
Therefore, it was best to flee.
"Let's go."
Without a word, Elder Nie took his disciple and fled backward.
"Elder Nie, you want to escape? Did you ask us first?"
"Niever, today is your death day."
"Don't even think about leaving. Neither you nor your disciple will leave alive today."
"Hahahaha, Elder Nie, you have no chance of winning."
"I will avenge myself today for the grudges of the past."
These five peak Houtian realm martial artists, who were bullying others with their numbers, saw Elder Nie trying to escape and immediately pursued them.
"Xiao Hai, you wait here. I'll take care of these two."
Feng Lao whispered to Xiao Hai, then turned to the people protecting Xiao Hai with a stern tone.
"You guys protect Xiao Hai well. If anything happens to him, your lives will be forfeit."
With that, Feng Lao chased after them.
However, Zhao Yunhai had no intention of waiting behind.
After all, Yang Fan was the protagonist.
Once the protagonist encountered danger, the protagonist's halo would activate, and unexpected things would happen immediately.
"Let's pursue them."
Zhao Yunhai waved his hand and then chased after them.
Si Jinyan and the others exchanged glances but said nothing, quickly following.
Their role was only to protect Zhao Yunhai, and they had no right to question his decisions.
They were only meant to obey orders, not to question them.
A fierce battle had already broken out ahead.
After all, Yang Fan's strength was far inferior to that of a peak Houtian realm martial artist, and he was caught up in no time.
Elder Nie naturally couldn't abandon his disciple and had to turn back to fight.
After all, Yang Fan was not in danger yet, and his protagonist's halo had not activated.
Yang Fan's golden finger was a cultivation technique, a rare art in the world, the ultimate skill left behind by an ancient, legendary figure.
That legendary figure had already ascended, and the cultivation technique he left behind caused a century of bloodshed.
The Zhao clan had records of it back then, but it was eventually lost, and the Zhao clan never had the chance to acquire it.
This was probably the protagonist's cultivation technique, as the protagonist's golden finger was always unique.
He found this cultivation technique in a ruin on Sanzhi Mountain.
Unfortunately, his strength was too low. Otherwise, with the movement techniques in his cultivation technique, these people wouldn't be able to catch him.
The cultivation technique Yang Fan possessed was extremely overbearing. He could fight two or even five enemies without issue, and even kill opponents of a higher level was not an exaggeration.
If he were a little stronger, even if he were only in the early Houtian realm, he would not struggle so much against these peak Houtian realm experts.
Unfortunately, Zhao Yunhai would not give him time to develop.
If it were an ordinary villain, they would definitely send some minor characters to constantly give the protagonist experience points, making the protagonist stronger and stronger.
Eventually, by the time they realized the protagonist had become so powerful that even the strongest in the villain's household had to look up to him, it would be too late.
Now, Elder Nie had been successfully locked onto by Feng Lao. Once entangled with Feng Lao, escape was impossible.
Elder Nie was not his disciple, and he was not the protagonist. Facing a peak Xiantian realm expert, he had no room to fight back.
Taking hit after hit, Elder Nie sustained several new injuries.
"Damn it."
Elder Nie thought that if he were still at the peak of the Xiantian realm, this wouldn't be the situation.
"Hmph."
Feng Lao snorted coldly and struck Elder Nie's chest with a palm.
"Pfft!"
Elder Nie spat out a mouthful of blood and retreated repeatedly.
Three of the five peak Houtian realm martial artists blocked Elder Nie's retreat, while the other two were dealing with Yang Fan, Elder Nie's disciple.
These five were also smart, knowing they couldn't go up and send themselves to their deaths.
Feng Lao alone was dealing with Elder Nie.
Feng Lao disdained these people; working together would only be a hindrance.
"Yang Fan, your opponent is me."
Zhao Yunhai rushed forward upon arrival and struck Yang Fan directly on the shoulder blade of his back.
"All of you, step aside. Yang Fan is mine."
Zhao Yunhai felt that these two were in the way and unceremoniously dismissed them.
These two peak Houtian realm martial artists were angered by being ordered around by a junior with such an attitude.
However, they couldn't afford to offend the Zhao clan, so they left without a word.
They thought to themselves, if this brat wants to court death, then don't blame them.
Even if this brat died, the Zhao clan wouldn't blame them afterward.
After their interaction, they understood that Yang Fan's strength was not great, but he was unexpectedly tricky to deal with.
If he wasn't Elder Nie's disciple, they both would have wanted to take him as a disciple.
Seeing that Zhao Yunhai wanted to act personally, Yang Fan couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahahaha, Zhao Yunhai."
"Since you're looking for death, don't blame me. I'll settle all the old and new scores."
"Yang Fan, don't be too confident in yourself."
Zhao Yunhai snorted coldly, and he and Yang Fan attacked simultaneously.
The internal energy in Zhao Yunhai's body was of the same origin as Yang Fan's, as Zhao Yunhai also possessed Yang Fan's cultivation technique.
The moment they clashed, Yang Fan was stunned, his eyes wide with disbelief.
