191: I'll kill you as easily as killing a chicken!

Lu Yuan smiled and said,

“Patriarch Zhou, still doing well?”

“It seems I’ve disappointed you.”

“I have a very tough life.”

These plain words, without a hint of anger, were like two slaps, fiercely striking Zhou Wanxiong’s face.

That composure, that indifference, was nothing short of the sharpest mockery!

“Lu Yuan!!!”

“You killed a direct descendant of my Zhou Family!”

“And now you dare to show yourself!”

“Today! This place! Will be your death day!!!”

Furious killing intent surged from Zhou Wanxiong’s body, and the Zhou Family members behind him also showed fierce glints in their eyes, eager to act.

However, at this moment, the other faction leaders who had gathered with various intentions had already changed their expressions.

Lu Yuan appeared unharmed.

Moreover, judging by his intimate attitude with Yao Tianxiao, their relationship was clearly not shallow.

What was the standing of the Yao Family?

And what was the standing of the Zhou Family?

What’s more, Lu Yuan’s own mysterious and unfathomable strength!

These thoughts flashed quickly through everyone’s minds.

The greed and hope that had arisen earlier due to the volcanic anomaly were now extinguished.

Who would dare to support Zhou Wanxiong now?

Wasn’t that seeking death?

Almost at the same time, these faction representatives retreated in unison.

One.

Two.

A group.

They moved swiftly, yet as quietly as possible, as if afraid of disturbing the confrontation before them, silently widening the distance between themselves and the Zhou Family.

Their postures and expressions all indicated: The Zhou Family’s affairs have nothing to do with us!

This silent isolation was more hurtful than any words.

Zhou Wanxiong naturally noticed this subtle change. His peripheral vision swept over the retreating figures, and the anger in his heart burned so fiercely it almost drove him mad.

A bunch of sycophantic rats!

No!

A bunch of dogs greedy for petty gains!

Just then.

“Hmph!”

A cold snort, like a sudden clap of thunder.

Yao Tianxiao stepped forward. Although his strength was not equal to Zhou Wanxiong’s, he stood firmly in front of Lu Yuan.

“Zhou Wanxiong!”

“Nephew Lu Yuan is an honored guest of my Yao Family!”

“If you want to touch him, first ask my Yao Family if we agree!”

Before he finished speaking.

“Clang!” “Clang!” “Clang!”

In the Yao Family ranks, nearly a hundred elite clansmen and retainers drew their weapons in unison, card light flickering, and a murderous aura surged skyward, echoing Yao Tianxiao’s presence and pressing directly upon the Zhou Family members.

The Yao Family was ready to go to war with the Zhou Family for Lu Yuan!

This was no joke!

A clash between two first-rate families would stir up a storm of bloodshed in reality!

Zhou Wanxiong’s face instantly turned pale, extremely unsightly.

He was also weighing the pros and cons!

He never expected that the Yao Family would actually dare to adopt such a strong stance for a single Lu Yuan!

To go to full war with the Yao Family?

The Zhou Family simply couldn’t afford that price!

A deep sense of powerlessness and humiliation welled up in Zhou Wanxiong’s heart.

“Yao Tianxiao!”

He almost roared.

“You! Do you really want to completely sever ties with my Zhou Family… for this little bastard?!”

Yao Tianxiao’s gaze did not waver in the slightest; he merely looked at him coldly, his attitude already explaining everything.

Just at this tense, explosive moment.

A hand gently patted Yao Tianxiao’s shoulder.

Lu Yuan stepped out from behind Yao Tianxiao, his face still holding that calm, unruffled expression.

“Uncle Yao, thank you.”

He smiled slightly, signaling to Yao Tianxiao that there was no need to be so nervous.

Then, he took a step forward, alone, directly facing the enraged Zhou Wanxiong and the Zhou Family members behind him.

“Patriarch Zhou.”

“The grievances between you and me need not involve others.”

“Today, we will settle it right here.”

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Zhou Wanxiong, a cold arc forming at the corner of his mouth.

“Or rather…”

“I kill you as easily as killing a chicken!”

“It's as easy as turning over my hand!”

Understated.

Yet infinitely arrogant!

“Ah ah ah ah ah—!!!”

Zhou Wanxiong was completely ignited by Lu Yuan’s ultimate contempt, snapping the last thread of his sanity!

“little bastard! You're seeking death!!!”

Zhou Wanxiong was like a madman, his eyes bloodshot.

“Zhou Family disciples, heed my command!”

“Kill him for me!”

“At all costs! Kill him!”

“Avenge Wanjian! Avenge Wanhai! Avenge all the fallen clansmen!!!”

As Zhou Wanxiong’s hysterical roar echoed, the Zhou Family members behind him, who had already been unable to restrain themselves, instantly erupted into earth-shattering battle cries!

“Kill—!!!”

War was imminent!

At the peak of the volcano, a storm brewed again!

Facing the Zhou Family members’ dog-like charge, a hint of disdain flashed deep in Lu Yuan’s eyes.

“Damn it!”

“You’re getting too arrogant!”

A low curse, without even the action of summoning a card.

Soldiers against soldiers, kings against kings!

Just as the first few Zhou Family disciples, with sinister smiles, had their weapons about to touch Lu Yuan’s clothes.

Lu Yuan moved.

There was no earth-shattering energy explosion, no dazzling card brilliance.

His figure merely swayed slightly.

“Whoosh!”

Like a ghost, he instantly vanished from his spot!

The attacks of those few Zhou Family disciples all missed, only stirring up a few afterimages.

“Where is he?!”

Their hearts startled, they had no time to react.

“Bang!”

A dull, drum-like thud exploded on the chest of one Zhou Family disciple!

The sinister smile on that disciple’s face instantly froze, replaced by boundless pain.

He only felt an irresistible, terrifying force strike his chest!

Crack!

A bone fracture and a large hole!

He didn’t even have time to let out a scream before he crashed heavily to the ground more than ten meters away, deader than dead!

All of this was incredibly fast!

So fast that the charging Zhou Family disciples didn’t even see what happened!

So fast that even Yao Tianxiao and others in the distance only caught a series of blurry afterimages!

Lu Yuan’s figure reappeared in its original spot, as if he had never moved.

He slowly withdrew his fist, and a faint wisp of Frost Flame Power quietly dissipated from his knuckles.

One punch!

Just one punch!

A Zhou Family elite disciple, at least Fourth Rank Peak, possibly even Fifth Rank, was instantly killed before he could even react!

This was outrageously powerful!

(When the ancient sea shark war halberd equipment card becomes a source card, it can greatly increase body strength! With the Frost Flame Power after Nirvana, he is already invincible below Fifth Rank!)
