Warlord Reborn

Gazing at the figure behind Zhou Feng, Zhou Qing and Zhou Youran's expressions changed as a look of worry surfaced in their eyes.

Luo Cheng's face was stretched taut, as he similarly cast his gaze behind Zhou Feng. A youngster clothed in white was holding onto Zhou Feng's shoulder, steadying him and preventing him from falling to the ground.

The youngster looked to be around 18 or 19 years old and he had a rather handsome facial feature. A small smile was on his face, yet in Luo Cheng's eyes, this smile appeared slightly cold.

Zhou Yan. Zhou Feng's elder brother and the most outstanding younger generation of the Leng Mansion. He was only 18 years old, yet he had long ago reached the 5th Star of Houtian Realm.

At this stage, he was able to compete against the top geniuses of the Leng Prefecture. He was also ranked in the top ten amongst the geniuses of Leng Prefecture.

"Elder brother" Although Zhou Feng was extremely overbearing towards others, he became as meek as a sheep in front of the seemingly 'gentle-natured' Zhou Yan.

"With just this level of skill, why do you go out and embarrass yourself, instead of cultivating properly?" Zhou Yan chuckled as he loosened his grip on Zhou Feng.

"It was only because l was careless... If we fought again, there's nothing for me to fear!" Zhou Feng's face flushed red with embarrassment at Zhou Yan's words.

Yet Zhou Feng's retort seemed a bit forced, as it was clear that Luo Cheng's punch was indeed very powerful.

"Four Phantoms of the Nine Phantom Fist is not something you are capable of blocking." Zhou Yan's gaze turned towards Luo Cheng, scrutinizing the latter for a while before saying, "Fourth Brother Luo Cheng, looks like you've been hiding this for quite sometime..."

Zhou Yan also knew about the difficulty in practising the Nine Phantom Fist. No matter what, in order to train till the 4th phantom required months of effort. Yet prior to this incident, he had never heard that Luo Cheng even knew this martial technique.

"It's just trickery, hardly worthy of Elder Brother Zhou Yan's attention." The corners of Luo Cheng's mouth pulled into a wry smile as he replied.

Perhaps because of the feud between them, even if you put it nicely, Zhou Yan and his brother Zhou Feng had a strained relationship with Luo Cheng. Likewise, Luo Cheng harboured no good will towards them.

Though Zhou Yan seemed polite and friendly on the surface, Luo Cheng knew that compared to the menacing Zhou Feng, his brother was actually much more fiendish.

The reason why Zhou Feng could be a little tyrant within the younger generation in the Leng Mansion, was not only due to his mother, Consort Ying, but also Zhou Yan, who had quite a far reaching influence himself.

"Luo Cheng, lets leave first." Zhou Youran stealthily tugged on Luo Cheng's sleeve as she whispered.

Though she was extremely surprised that Luo Cheng had managed to defeat Zhou Feng, Zhou Yan stood heads and shoulders above Zhou Feng in regards to both martial techniques and cultivation. He was definitely not someone to mess with.

"Heh heh, Zhou Youran, it's been so long since we've met." Zhou Yan chuckled as he turned his gaze to Zhou Youran with a strange lustre in his eyes.

Although Zhou Youran was young, she was a blooming beauty. Among the younger generation in Leng Prefecture, many secretly admired her and naturally, he was no exception.

"Zhou Feng has always been such an impulsive brat. However, if you need anything, you just need to let me know."

Hearing Zhou Yan talk to her as if they were on familiar terms, Zhou Youran's crescent shaped eyebrows tightly knitted together. However, due to the other party's strength, although she was not too pleased about it, she chose not to talk back.

"Dammit, this guy is so repulsive, I will definitely beat him to death in the future." Zhou Qing muttered as she stood behind Zhou Youran's back. She was also extremely disgusted by Zhou Yan's words.

"Much thanks to Elder Brother Zhou Yan , however i'd rather depend on myself." Luo Cheng smiled, ignoring the mutterings of Zhou Youran.

If he saw Zhou Yan in the past, he could only hope to retreat before anything happened. Yet it was different now, as he possessed the Primordial Fiendgod Technique and also the Yin-Yang Devouring Bloodline, he knew that surpassing Zhou Yan was only a matter of time.

"Oh? Younger Brother Luo Cheng's unyielding character is commendable. Indeed worthy of being our Leng Mansion's top genius!" Though Zhou Yan was smiling, anyone who heard his words could tell that they held a hint of ridicule.

Murderous intent flashed across Luo Cheng's eyes as he heard these mocking words.

"Fret not Zhou Youran, after all this, I will definitely help you teach this rude fellow a lesson for disrespecting you." Zhou Yan said as he brought out a Jade box and stretched his hand out towards Zhou Youran while smiling.

Seeing his actions, Zhou Youran pursed her tiny lips, not responding. She was worried that Zhou Yan might create trouble for Luo Cheng. In response, the corners of Zhou Yan's mouth could not help but slightly raise.

"Seems like Elder Brother Zhou Yan is truly a magnanimous individual." Yet, before a smile could form on his face, Luo Cheng interrupted it with a laugh.

After which, under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Luo Cheng stepped forward and approached Zhou Yan as he unapologetically stretched out his hand to grab the Jade box.

Luo Cheng's sudden actions caused Zhou Yan's face to turn rigid. The latter stared straight at the former with an icy look in his eyes. Luo Cheng's actions in front of the crowd had hurt Zhou Yan's pride.

However, Luo Cheng turned a blind eye to Zhou Yan's stare as he attempted to exert more force to snatch the Jade box.

Nevertheless, he found that Zhou Yan's hand continued to hold onto the Jade box like a pair of metal pincers. At once, Luo Cheng smiled and asked, "So...? Does Elder Brother Zhou Yan suddenly fancy this Jade box now?"

Upon hearing these words, the corners of Zhou Yan's eyes twitched as he slowly released his grip. Staring daggers at Luo Cheng, he laughed and said, "Younger Brother Luo Cheng, I am also interested in your Nine Phantom Fist, would you be willing to engage in a light duel with me?"

Without waiting for Luo Cheng's reply, Zhou Yan suddenly took a step forward as his palm flew towards Luo Cheng's chest. The gust that followed was much stronger than before when Zhou Feng attacked.

Seeing as Zhou Yan launched his attack as soon as he spoke, Luo Cheng's facial expression darkened as he unleashed his full cultivation level and swiftly raised both of his arms in front of his chest, to protect his vital organs.

"Thud!"

As they exchanged blows, Luo Cheng immediately felt a vigorous force and sharp pain ricocheting through his arm, forcing him to move ten steps back. Thankfully his foundations were solid, thus he did not end up convulsing on the ground.

"3 Star True Qi Realm?!" The crowd was in an uproar after seeing Luo Cheng's current cultivation realm.

"How is this possible? How could he have suddenly rose to the 3rd Star of True Qi Realm?" Stopping his practice Zhou Han stared at Luo Cheng while concealing murderous intent.

"7th Star Houtian Realm." Steadying his body, Luo Cheng muttered as he stared at Zhou Yan.

He had clearly seen a faint layer of Qi engulfing the latter's fist. Such powerful Qi was obviously of the 7th Star Houtian Realm.

This means that Zhou Yan had actually broken through to the 7th Star Houtian Realm realm!

Zhou Yan shot a glance at Luo Cheng, his brows knitting together. The fact that he had unexpectedly failed to inflict damage to the latter in one move did not sit well with

him. Yet, he remained confident that he could defeat Luo Cheng within three moves. This was the confidence that he had in himself, who had achieved 7th Star of Houtian Realm.

"Younger Brother Luo Cheng is indeed skillful, come again!" The dangerous glint in his eyes hinted that Zhou Yan did not plan to let Luo Cheng off so easily. With a quick laugh, he once again rushed towards the latter. This time however, many in the crowd gasped in response as they could clearly see that a faint layer of Qi shrouded his body.

As he stared at that formidable Zhou Yan, the rage in Luo Cheng's eyes intensified. He gritted his teeth as he prepared to circulate the Primordial Fiendgod Technique and counter with his Nine Phantom Fist.

Yet before they clashed again, an angry voice suddenly shouted out. "Both of you stop right now!"
