Xu Xiwang, however, remained standing there gracefully, showing no discomfort whatsoever despite the oppressive aura emanating from her mother, Liu Qingyan.
"Qingyan, I can't stand idly by!"
Zhou Lingyun sighed, his bitterness deepening: "Ultimately, you and I represent two families!"
"Heh, you make it sound so noble, but isn't it all for your reputation?"
Liu Qingyan sneered, "No need for further words, Zhou Lingyun. Today I will protect my son, and even if the entire Zhou family comes at me together, it won't work!"
"Blue smoke..."
Zhou Lingyun's face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You should understand that I'm willing to risk my life for you, but you insist on stopping me for your son's sake. Is it worth it?"
After saying that, Zhou Lingyun's figure disappeared, as if merging into the void, mysterious and unpredictable.
"mom..."
Xu Xiwang was extremely nervous and called out worriedly, fearing that Liu Qingyan would suffer a loss.
Liu Qingyan patted him gently and said softly, "Don't worry, Mom will be fine."
As soon as she finished speaking, she strode forward.
With each step taken, the spiritual energy in the surrounding air seemed to boil, forming visible ripples of spiritual power.
"Rumble..."
The air exploded with a deafening roar, like rolling thunder!
In an instant, Xu Xiwang's pupils contracted sharply.
Tuoba Yan Yan's pretty face underwent a dramatic change.
With each step Liu Qingyan took, her aura increased several times over. In the end, it was as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting, and an incomparably terrifying aura surged into the sky from her body.
She radiated a dazzling light, as if she had transformed into a deity, looking down upon the entire world.
At this moment, Xu Xiwang felt that Liu Qingyan was a completely different person. A strong wind surrounded her, making her robes flutter and her long black hair dance wildly in the wind. She was so beautiful that it was breathtaking.
Nine steps were taken, and the world lost its color.
Zhou Lingyun unleashed a palm strike, carrying immense force as it hurtled towards him.
However, Liu Qingyan remained calm and casually threw a punch.
"Bang!"
Fists and palms collided, unleashing blinding light and terrifying force that surged forth, creating a shockwave that destroyed the surrounding lawn and kicked up clouds of dust.
Zhou Lingyun's face paled slightly. He retreated several meters away, his eyes fixed on Liu Qingyan, and growled, "Qingyan, are you really going to attack me? I can't bear to hurt you!"
Liu Qingyan snorted coldly: "Whoever harmed my son must die!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Lingyun exhaled a deep breath, a ruthless glint in his eyes: "Since that's the case, then don't blame me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his vital energy surged, like a volcano erupting. He threw a punch, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered together, transforming into a huge fist imprint that crushed towards Liu Qingyan.
"A trivial skill!"
Liu Qingyan remained calm, raising her hand to unleash a palm print that lightly landed on the fist print.
"Pfft!"
The fist imprint shattered, but the remaining force of the palm print struck Zhou Lingyun's chest, instantly blasting him dozens of meters away!
The Golden Armor Ancestor shone with golden light and stood in front of Zhou Lingyun, but he was also blasted away, a bloody gash appearing on his chest, almost piercing through him!
"Even someone with the invincible physique of the Golden Armor Ancestor couldn't withstand it?"
Xu Xiwang's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly clicked her tongue in amazement. Neither of her parents was easy to deal with!
"Zhou Lingyun, don't hold back any longer! This woman is unfathomable!"
The Golden-Armored Ancestor clutched his chest, his expression grave, and said, "It's unbelievable that someone from later generations could cultivate to such a level against the heavens."
........
"The Zhou family and the Xu family are fighting..."
"It seems like things have completely fallen apart; even Liu Qingyan has made a move!"
"Tsk tsk, this scene is truly rare. The Zhou family and the Xu family have been fighting for thousands of years."
"I wonder who will win and who will lose this time?"
"Liu Qingyan's strength is truly surprising. I never expected that she would become so powerful just because she was relying on Xu Yunfan! I never thought she would actually reach this level!"
"I'm afraid there are still many things being held back..."
Should we take sides?
"Let's wait and see! Now that a great calamity has arrived, we cannot afford internal strife."
Several figures were hidden in the distance, discussing amongst themselves; they were the powerful members of the other major families in Yanjing.
Although they all had their own thoughts, they did not choose to stand idly by.
After all, the Liu family and the Zhou family have been fighting for a long time and have long been sworn enemies.
Now that the two sides are at war, how could they miss out on such a spectacle?
"Grandpa, aren't we going to help?"
Lanxi stood beside an old man in a gray shirt and asked.
The old man in the gray shirt shook his head and said, "Let's see how things go first. If the Zhou family and the Xu family are really locked in a fierce battle, then we can take action."
"Grandpa, Xu Xiwang and I are good friends..."
Lanxi frowned, about to say something, but the old man in gray waved his hand, signaling him not to say anything more.
What does personal friendship mean when family interests are at stake?
The old man in the gray shirt said calmly, "The Xu family is very powerful, but the Zhou family is not so simple."
Lanxi remained silent, seemingly understanding but not quite. He knew very well that the old man in gray was adamant in his stance, and even he couldn't persuade him otherwise.
