274 Promises and Threats
In the fierce aerial duel between Long Tian and Zhou Yan, they clashed with relentless intensity. Long Tian, his demonic wings unfurled, matched Zhou Yan's mastery of gravity manipulation with his own flying abilities.
Their confrontation was a symphony of exchanged blows and unleashed supernatural powers, each strike resonating with the force of their determination. Bruises adorned both combatants, testant to the ferocity of their struggle. Long Tian bore several bruises across his body, while Zhou Yan's visage and form were marred by a multitude of bruises.
In a pivotal mont, Zhou Yan retreated several ters, his left hand orchestrating a surge of energy that drew Long Tian towards him with irresistible force.
As Zhou Yan readied his fist for an imminent strike, his eyes widened in alarm at the sight of fire erupting from Long Tian's mouth.
BURST!
Flas erupted, engulfing Zhou Yan in a searing conflagration that elicited a furious expletive from him.
"FUCK!" he roared, leaping high into the air and manipulating gravitational energy to extinguish the flas.
However, Long Tian wasted no ti in seizing the opportunity. Brandishing his dark blade, it pulsed with ominous energy as he took a stance.
"I'll end this!" he declared icily, closing the distance between them in a swift blur and unleashing a slashing motion with his sword.
Yet, Zhou Yan, despite his precarious position, summoned his remaining strength to thwart Long Tian's assault. With a steadfast grip and a determined expression, he utilized his gravitational powers with both hands to block the advancing blade.
The tension between attacker and defender was palpable, each grappling with their respective roles in the unfolding battle. Zhou Yan's resolve wavered as he strained to withstand the relentless onslaught, while Long Tian pressed forward with unwavering determination.
Until, finally, the mont arrived when Zhou Yan's defenses faltered, and Long Tian's blade found its mark.
Slash!
A decisive horizontal cut cleaved through Zhou Yan's chest, eliciting a gut-wrenching cry of agony as he lost control and plumted to the earth below.
Hovering in the aftermath, Long Tian breathed heavily, a triumphant grin spreading across his features as he regarded Zhou Yan, now prone and wounded on the ground.
Without hesitation, he descended to stand over his fallen adversary, his victory assured.
"Not gonna lie, that was an exhilarating fight. You managed to withstand my attacks, although not enough to make unleash my full strength. Well, I also learned sothing new that my dark energy can neutralize gravity," Long Tian said lightly, a smirk playing on his lips.
Zhou Yan lay gasping on the ground, his body and clothes stained with blood, glaring at Long Tian with undiluted hatred. He paid no heed to the pain coursing through his body.
A man of high ego and arrogance, possessing rare gravity manipulation abilities, destined to dominate young talents, had been defeated by soone younger, soone who hadn't even graduated from high school!
His pride seed shattered into pieces, a feeling far worse than any physical pain imaginable.
"You suddenly attack , what do you want? If you think you can kill , the Long family will face the wrath of the holy knights, not to ntion you openly insult the empire!" Zhou Yan said with seething hatred.
Hearing this, Long Tian smirked mockingly, "Are you seriously threatening with that? I'm sure you know that within this portal, things like murder or theft won't be known to the outside world. No one will know that the successor of the holy knight leader died at the hands of the young master of the Long family," he said, his grin widening.
Zhou Yan's expression darkened at this, acknowledging the truth in Long Tian's words. This world was indeed isolated from the outside world. He even felt he couldn't use the jade of salvation he desperately wanted to use right now. It was not impossible that Long Tian would actually kill him at this mont.
And his expression grew even more grim when he saw a blonde-haired woman standing next to Long Tian. If she was here, then Fen Yuwen and Leng Jiao were already dead.
But he was slightly surprised when he saw the woman's face; it was very similar to soone he had just t. And at this mont, realization dawned upon him, and he suddenly got an idea.
Long Tian noticed the change in Zhou Yan's expression, "What's with you? Are you thinking of still having a plan to escape?" he sneered.
In response, Zhou Yan grinned. "The woman next to you, she's very similar to soone I t inside this portal. She's blonde, beautiful, I admit, and very much like you," he said, pointing towards Alexia.
Alexia froze instantly, her eyes widening in surprise. "You know her? Where is she?!" she exclaid.
Zhou Yan smirked, "He he, I don't know what your relationship is. But it seems you two are siblings," he said. "Well, if you let go, I'll tell you where she is."
Long Tian frowned upon hearing this, on the other hand, Alexia clutched her arm with a pleading look.
"It's Qian'er, Long Tian, I rember both of us did enter this portal together," Alexia said earnestly.
Zhou Yan grinned at hearing this. He wasn't lying; indeed, he had seen Liu Qian, and they had even been together before parting ways.
Long Tian, on the other hand, sighed, looking at Zhou Yan and said, "Alright, I'll let you live. Now tell where she is?"
"How can I trust you?" Zhou Yan asked, his tone filled with caution.
"You can keep my words, and that's a man's promise," Long Tian responded, his tone resolute with a commanding expression.
Zhou Yan gulped at the firmness in Long Tian's voice. He hated to admit it, but Long Tian's aura truly felt dominating.
"I'll hold onto your words. She's trapped inside that temple. She's locked inside," Zhou Yan said, pointing towards the giant temple.
Both Long Tian and Alexia imdiately directed their gaze towards the temple.
"Why is she inside? Did you do sothing to her? If you even touch her with just your fingers, I'll co back to break all your bones," Long Tian said coldly, his aura emanating an intimidating presence.
Zhou Yan broke into a sweat imdiately, "I didn't do anything, don't think I'm insane, woman," he explained.
"I'll hold onto your words," Long Tian said.
Then, from the dark-covered ground, a pillar erged beneath Zhou Yan, imdiately pulling him so that he seed stuck to the 7-ter-tall pillar, standing as if crucified.
"What are you doing?!" he yelled.
"I have to make sure your words are true. If not, I'll co back here and kill you on the spot," Long Tian said ruthlessly.
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth, but then he realized sothing. This darkness was indeed powerful, but it was not impossible to break.
Still pretending to be angry, he said, "Fine, I'll wait here!" he said.
Long Tian then gestured with his finger and said, "Arise~."
The next mont, four dark souls appeared in front of him, imdiately surrounding Zhou Yan.
"Don't let him escape," he said.
The four dark souls nodded obediently, imdiately directing their gaze towards Zhou Yan.
And with that, Long Tian and Alexia imdiately rushed towards the temple, without hesitation, they entered inside.
