"What is that sound?" Li Ang's voice once again sounded slowly on the small hill.

A quiet atmosphere lingered on the mountainside. After three to four minutes, Li Shan's gaze swept towards the distance.

"I already told you, don't be so suspicious. With Zhou Lie's cowardly personality, he wouldn't dare come." Li Shan looked at his surroundings, which had remained silent for a long time. Soon after, he shook his head, turned around, and told Zhou Yao.

"Originally, I wanted to use you to lure Zhou Lie away so that I could create a chance for the Xia Family. I never thought that Zhou Lie would abandon Zhu Baojun. He really pitied a young master of the Zhou Family like you." Li Shan's voice was filled with a hint of ridicule as he looked at Zhou Yao with a smile. However, within his smile was a hint of maliciousness.

Behind Li Shan, dozens of figures were also laughing. They all knew that the young master of the Zhou family was about to die.

"But if you can tell me the secret of your Zhou Family's ancestral land, I can consider letting you live." Li Shan looked at Zhou Yao and laughed.

"You think you can lay your hands on my Zhou Family's ancestral grounds? "Pfft!" Zhou Yao cursed angrily as he spat a mouthful of phlegm at Li Shan.

The smile on his face also weakened a little. He stared at Zhou Yao and said with a gentle smile, "I'm giving you a chance. You're an abandoned bastard who was abandoned by the Zhou Family. What other value can you possibly have?"

"Since you don't know how to appreciate favors, don't blame me for being ruthless when you get down there!"

"Send young master Zhou on his way!"

Upon hearing Li Shan's calm words, Li Ang swung his palm and stretched his muscles before pulling out his blade and slowly walked towards Zhou Yao.

"My son of the Zhou family is not a coward!"

Seeing this, Zhou Yao clenched his teeth and roared, waiting for death to arrive.

"The Zhou family has given birth to a bloody son, but what a pity!" With a smile, Li Ang's left hand gripped the longblade tightly and hacked at Zhou Yao's head.

As Zhou Yao stared at the rapidly enlarging blade edge in his eyes, he could also feel the icy cold aura of the blade edge, and the taste of death gradually filled his heart. However, at this moment, he was like a fish in water, unable to do anything.

"Ding!"

Just as Li Ang's blade was about to hit Zhou Yao's head, a dragon's roar resounded through the air above the small mountain. Soon after, Li Ang saw a black shadow suddenly shoot towards him from the dense forest in the distance.

"Bam!"

The moment the black shadow made contact with the blade, a powerful force came from the black shadow and forcibly sent the blade in Li Ang's hand flying.

"Who is it?!"

Seeing this scene, Li Shan's expression immediately darkened.

"Your father!"

After Lee Shan shouted, a sneer came from within the forest. Shortly after, a black shadow appeared in front of Zhou Yao in an extremely shocking manner, bringing with it waves of dragon roars.

Everyone hurriedly looked over, only to see that there was a white-clothed young man standing on the black figure. His body was like a spear, while a dark chill surged out from his eyes. An extremely icy cold aura slowly spread out in the surroundings.

"Xia Hun Wu!"

Currently, Xia Hun Wu's reputation was the most well-known in the Xia and Li Families. Not only did he obtain the qualifications to participate in the Five Great Academies' selections in one go, he even killed Xia Yang and Xia Yan a few days ago. Although he could do it, the former only had a third level Soul Duo Realm cultivation.

Even after killing two people at the Soul Fighting Realm, he was still completely unharmed. When Li Shan first heard this, he also felt that it was inconceivable. However, the truth was that he gradually believed that this young man was extremely important and feared him.

"Brother Xia!"

When Zhou Yao, who was standing behind them, saw that it was Xia Hun Wu, his face lit up with joy. Even though Li Shan had the strength of a Soul Origin Stage cultivator, in his eyes, he was still no match for Xia Hun Wu. This was because he had complete confidence in the former; if he dared to come, it meant that he had the trump card to fight against Li Shan.

"Little Yao, don't look at me like that, alright? I'm not gay, thank you!"

Xia Hun Wu turned his head and looked at Zhou Yao's burning gaze. For a moment, he let out a chuckle, then soul power surged out from his hand, forming a flaming blade. With a light flick, the rope binding Zhou Yao was ripped apart.

Looking at the ropes that had fallen off Zhou Yao's body, Xia Hun Wu furrowed his brows. He then pursed his lips and said, "They even used the Soul Shackling Chain. It seems like the Xia and Li Families are determined to get rid of the Zhou Family."

"Little bastard, even if Xia Yuan was here, your Xia Clan wouldn't dare to speak to me like this. You little bastard who has a mother and no mother really doesn't know how to behave." Although Li Shan had some brains, his expression gradually turned gloomy when he saw a seventeen to eighteen year old child being so rude to him. Immediately, he let out a cold laugh.

"That depends on who the person is. I will naturally know the etiquette when meeting someone, but if I were to encounter something else, I wouldn't care about it. After all, the types are different, right?"

He then swept his gaze over his surroundings. Although there were quite a few people in the Li Family, it was fortunate that there was only one Soul Origin Stage powerhouse. Perhaps the Xia and Li Families had already decided to take the Zhou Family down.

"Little bastard, do you think that with that bit of strength of yours, you can act so arrogant in front of me? Originally, I did not plan on Zhou Lie and the others coming to save this boy. However, since you've come to deliver yourself to my doorstep, then I won't be polite any longer. Right now, your head is extremely valuable! " Li Shan smiled darkly. After which, he waved his hand.

"Swoosh!"

As Li Shan waved his arm, the two figures surrounding Zhou Yao and Xia Hun Wu released a cold ray of light from their hands. Then, they shot towards Xia Hun Wu and Li Shan, creating a sonic boom as they shot towards Xia Hun Wu and Wang Lin.

"Ha!"

Upon seeing this, Xia Hengwu sneered as he changed his hand seals. Two black dragon spirits swooped down from the sky like eagles.

"Bang!" Bang! "Bam!"

The blades emitting a cold light were all blocked by the two dragon souls in mid-air. The force behind the dozens of blades did not decrease at all as they ruthlessly shot towards the surroundings. Immediately, a series of miserable screams rang out.

"This brat actually knows how to control formation spirits. Not only that, but he's so adept at it too!" Li Shan frowned slightly as he looked at the falling figures. Soon after, he once again let out a cold laugh. This brat could only last until the third level of the Soul Fighting Realm, and he was at the Soul Origin Stage. He did not believe that Xia Hun Wu would be able to rescue him from under his eyes.
