Chapter 3: Astonishing Strength

  Incredible strength

  "Zhou Yuan, you..." Li Shan was about to erupt in anger, but he thought better of it. After all, this was the Zhou estate, and his opponent's status was clear. If he made a big scene and disturbed the other high-ranking members of the Zhou family, he would probably be finished.

  After all, no matter how much the Zhou family dislikes Zhou Yuan, if they knew that a servant dared to bully their legitimate son, they would not have enough lives to kill.

  "Alright, alright, alright..." Li Shan clapped his hands as he walked away, "Zhou Yuan, you've grown up and now have a temper, I'll remember this slap today..."

  "How dare you threaten me, you won't escape with your life!!!"

  Li Shan stopped in his tracks, "What, you dare to kill me?"

  "Exactly so," Zhou Yuan sneered. "You are just a lowly servant, in my eyes you're like an insect, killing you is as easy as slaughtering a dog, what's wrong with that!!!"

  Having said that, Zhou Yuan has already walked towards Li Shan.

  At this moment, Li Shan panicked. Zhou Yuan, who had changed from his usual timid and reserved personality, suddenly became furious and had an aura of unimaginable majesty that made Li Shan feel uneasy.

  "Die!!!" Zhou Yuan's fist was fiercely thrown out, leaving only a residual shadow in the air, and his fist had already smashed to Li Shan's face.

  "Bang!!!" At the critical moment, Li Shan actually still managed to exchange one punch with Zhou Yuan, and two fists clashed, producing a loud noise.

  In an instant, Li Shan's right hand became a bloody mess, his right arm twisted at an unbelievable angle, bent to one side. Li Shan let out a series of strange cries, clearly, his right hand was completely ruined.

  Zhou Yuan sneered, "I said you're usually so daring to be disrespectful to me. It turns out that you're also a master and have cultivated to the Fu Organs realm, which is the same as my previous realm. No wonder you're so arrogant. It seems that your brother Li Zhong is even more formidable than you. I really underestimated this pair of brothers."

  Li Shan was shocked and lost color. From Zhou Yuan's expression of rising killing intent, Li Shan knew that he might not be able to escape disaster today.

  He retreated while shouting incredulously, "Zhou Yuan, you've actually broken through to the Cave Realm! I was too careless. But I advise you not to kill me, my brother Li Zhong is no ordinary person either, he's already in the Spiritual Sense Realm. If you kill me, you won't end up well either!!!"

  "I won't be okay?! This is the Zhou residence, no matter how capable you are, you're just a servant at best! Your status is right here, I want to kill you, it's only a matter of finding an excuse!!!"

  Having said that, Zhou Yuan took a step forward and arrived in front of Li Shan, who was stunned. He punched Li Shan's head violently.

  Bang!!!

  In an instant, Li Shan's skull was thoroughly shattered, and a large amount of blood, bones, muscles, and tendons splashed onto Zhou Yuan's clothes, dyeing his robes a deep red, a sight that was both shocking and terrifying.

  A quiet night, everyone was either immersed in cultivation or had already fallen asleep, but at this moment, many people suddenly opened their eyes.

  "What a sound, it seems like the sound of fighting, someone is fighting and it seems that someone has been seriously injured. I just heard a miserable cry like the sound of bones shattering!!!"

  Zhou Tianbo, who had been quietly cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of light flashed by, revealing his cultivation level.

  He is already a strong practitioner in the realm of magic, and also a strong practitioner in the second heavy spellcasting realm. Looking around the world, he is also a great master. His life has reached another form, and he is clearly aware of the slightest movement outside.

  In an instant, he knew that someone was fighting in a nearby place, and in that direction, he sensed it for a moment, as if it were Zhou Yuan's residence.

  Zhou Tianbao's eyebrows furrowed tightly, then relaxed, and he let out a sinister laugh. "Zhou Yuan, you'd better not give me any excuse to take action against you, or I'll make sure you can't turn the tables on me."

  Having said that, Zhou Tian rushed towards Zhou Yuan's residence.

  Not just Zhou Tianbao, many high-ranking members of the Zhou family and elders also rushed in the direction where Zhou Yuan lived. None of the Zhou family's disciples dared to make a move within the Zhou estate; they all wanted to see the truth for themselves.

  Hiss... Hiss... Hiss...

  These people are all masters of the Zhou family, with quick movements and extraordinary strength. As they run back and forth, they stir up the air flow, producing a series of sharp whistling sounds.

  Before long, these people arrived at Zhou Yuan's residence. At this moment, Zhou Yuan surprisingly had not closed the door or put out the lights, and was sitting inside with no attempt to hide, while Li Shan, whose skull was shattered, lay in a pool of blood, completely lifeless.

  At this scene, a middle-aged man emerged from the crowd, and despite being just a low-ranking servant, he loudly shouted, "A Shan, A Shan... Zhou Yuan!!!"

  This man is Li Shan's older brother, Li Zhong. His cultivation in the Spiritual Realm is extremely powerful. More importantly, he and Li Shan are biological brothers with a very good relationship. Now, seeing his younger brother lying in a pool of blood, Li Zhong immediately loses control and wants to attack Zhou Yuan.

  Zhou Yuan sat on the golden knife-patterned chair, and suddenly a strong aura emanating from the Blood Aperture realm burst out, giving off an air of unprovoked majesty. "Li Zhong, how dare you yell at me? Who gave you the guts? Hmm? You're just a lowly servant, a nobody, what status do you have? My Zhou family spared your life and provided for your food and shelter, which is already the greatest kindness to you and your brother. Now, not only are you ungrateful, but you also dare to be so disrespectful to me. It's a wonder you're still alive! If he offended me, killing him would be the simplest thing to do. How about it? Do you dare attack me? Dare to commit the crime of striking a superior?"

  Li Zhong was furious, "You beast, you killed my brother, I want you dead!!!!!!"

  Having said that, Li Zhong took action.

  If it were in normal times, if someone dared to lay a hand on the disciples of the Zhou family, those high-ranking officials would have taken action long ago. With just a flick of their wrist, they could have annihilated someone like Li Zhong. However, now that Li Zhong is furious with Zhou Yuan, his aura is overwhelming, and his killing intent is rising, making Zhou Yuan's situation extremely perilous.

  But seeing this scene, none of the high-ranking officials in the Zhou family stepped forward to stop it, and they all looked on coldly.

  "This scene, all fell into Zhou Yuan's eyes. 'You beasts, do you want to see me make a fool of myself? I swear, as long as I am strong enough, none of you will have a good ending! Now, let me show you that I, Zhou Yuan, am not someone to be trifled with!!!"

  Facing Li Zhong's sudden attack, Zhou Yuan immediately counterattacked, originally sitting still, he suddenly sprang into action, moving extremely fast, from extreme stillness to extreme movement, the change was abnormally rapid. Faced with Zhou Yuan's such a swift transformation, Li Zhong actually felt a kind of unadaptability.

  "Good, your cultivation has improved again, it seems you've reached the Blood Aperture realm. No wonder you dared to fight our brother. However, taking a life comes with a price, and I'm going to make you pay now!!!" Li Zhong roared in anger, like a ferocious beast that had gone mad, and pounced on Zhou Yuan.

  "Die!!!" Li Zhong fiercely punched towards Zhou Yuan's chest, this punch if landed would shatter Zhou Yuan's heart into powder, destroying all hope of survival, and he would immediately die.

  Li Zhonghuan was furious and went all out, using all his strength without any reservation. He wanted to avenge his brother's death and killed Zhou Yuan regardless of the consequences.

  "You dare to kill me, you are truly unfilial!!" Zhou Yuan let out a cold snort and threw out a punch with all his might, colliding heavily with Li Zhong's fist.

  Bang!!!

  Tap tap tap tap...

  Zhou Yuan retreated eight steps in a row before stopping, and Li Zhong was even more unbearable, retreating over ten steps before stabilizing his body. Moreover, blood slowly flowed out of his nostrils, clearly injured by Zhou Yuan's punch.

  Originally, Zhou Yuan was one realm lower than Li Zhong and couldn't defeat him. However, once he reached the Spiritual Sense realm, as long as he didn't engage in a fierce battle with his enemy, he could use his exceptionally keen senses to dodge any attack from his opponent based on instinct. Moreover, he could also sense his opponent's weakness in the midst of chaos. It can be said that those who haven't reached the Spiritual Sense realm have no chance of defeating a strong practitioner at the Spiritual Sense realm.

  However, Li Zhong saw his own brother die in front of him and almost lost his mind. Now that he was angry with Zhou Yuan, he naturally acted somewhat irrationally. He actually exchanged blows with Zhou Yuan, fist for fist. If Zhou Yuan were an ordinary cultivator, it would be understandable. After all, the physical strength of a cultivator who had reached the Spiritual Sensation stage was much stronger than that of a Blood Aperture stage cultivator. However, Zhou Yuan was not an ordinary person. He had cultivated the Wild Ox Strength Technique, and his physical strength had been raised to the extreme, far surpassing Li Zhong's at the Spiritual Sensation stage.

  As a result of the fight, Li Zhong suffered greatly and received serious internal injuries.

  Witnessing this scene, the other high-ranking officials and elders of the Zhou family were shocked. Zhou Yuan had broken through to the Blood Aperture Realm in just one day, and his realm was still unstable. In a confrontation, he had gained the upper hand over Li Zhong, who was at the Spiritual Inspiration Realm. This sudden turn of events made it clear that Zhou Yuan's strength surpassed Li Zhong's.

  "Zhou Tian sneered coldly, 'Zhou Yuan, you actually killed a servant in the mansion! The circumstances are heinous. Although it's not fatal, it's an extremely serious matter. I'll take you to see the Punishment Elder and have you imprisoned for a while. Only after your problems are thoroughly resolved can you be released again!!'"

  "Tomorrow is the day I enter the Scripture Pavilion, a chance that comes only once a year," Zhou Yuan said with a cold smile. "After tomorrow, I will go to your residence on my own to apologize."

  "How dare you!!" Zhou Tian slapped his sleeves fiercely, "When did it become your turn to haggle? Get down and follow me!!!"

  Zhou Yuan didn't move, he just coldly smiled as he looked at Zhou Tianbao.

  "Zhou Yuan, you still want me to take action? Alright, if you don't comply, I'll take you away!!!" With that, Zhou Tianbao was about to lay hands on Zhou Yuan.

  "Halt!!" Just then, a majestic voice filled with authority echoed over, an old man hastily walked over, took one glance at Li Shan who was lying on the ground, "Tian Bao, he's just a lowly servant, no need to make such a big fuss, tomorrow is Zhou Yuan's day to enter the Cang Jing Pavilion, it's a rare opportunity that only comes once a year, can't let him lose his chance because of some small matter. Let's wait till he comes out from the Cang Jing Pavilion before we do anything!!"
