Chapter 108 Zhou Yannan

Zhou Yannan, who was standing on the wall, suddenly curled his lips, and disappeared from the wall in the next second. He teleported in front of Jiang Wu and slapped him in the face. The surrounding peach forest suddenly seemed to be blown by an invisible force, and the leaves made a rustling sound.

"Bang!"

As the palm strike was about to fall, it was met by a fragile peach wood branch. However, it was this slender peach wood branch that firmly blocked the palm strike that weighed over a thousand pounds.

Zhou Yannan narrowed his eyes, and a layer of red Qi suddenly emerged from his palm, shattering the peach wood branch. The remaining waves climbed up, and were about to swallow Jiang Wu's hand. Jiang Wu let go of his hand in time, stepped down a little, and retreated three meters away. Looking at the person who came with red Qi, a trace of ripples appeared in his eyes.

Innate Qi.

Taoism takes Chi as its origin. The innate Qi is extremely strong and yang, and can naturally restrain all evil spirits. When supplemented with cultivation techniques, it can make the cultivator invincible among the same level.

His old friend back then was the one who relied on his innate Qi to sweep across the hundreds of Xuanmen schools. Even the Gu King, who had robbed the Gu cultivators of Southern Xinjiang in a fair and square manner, was not dared to confront him head-on and could only curse him behind his back, simply because they were jealous of his innate Qi.

The rise of Taoism in the Great Zhou Dynasty was partly due to the fact that his old friend had beaten up all the other sects.

It can be said that all the Taoist sects are afraid of the Taoist innate qi, except the master of destiny.

As a thought came to his mind, a layer of golden-red light appeared on Jiang Wu's body. In his right hand, three thousand golden-red spells twisted into a long whip, sweeping towards Zhou Yannan in front of him like a fire python.

This attack came silently, but it made Zhou Yannan's pupils shrink slightly, and all the innate Qi in his body instantly covered his body surface.

The next moment, the golden whip was swung, splitting the innate energy around his body into a gap. At the same time, the peach tree with a radius of ten meters behind him collapsed instantly, leaving only half of the tree stump bare.

Zhou Yannan's lips were stained with a light blood color, and the red energy around his body faded.

His throat moved slightly, and his half-drooped sleepy eyes opened, "Bai Xianling is really old and confused. He can even regard delusions as the state of divine gathering..."

"Don't blame him. He was in the God Gathering Realm before, and only rose to that level after he picked up that piece of black jade."

For a cultivator like Jiang Wu who fell from the Guanshi realm, he was just a mortal until he reached Heyoudu. However, the power of the ownerless soul in this piece of black jade made him more interested. "Do you still have this kind of black jade?"

Zhou Yannan's eyes showed a hint of coldness, "After stealing someone else's things, you dare to ask if they are still there. You are quite arrogant, you thief."

"You can buy it." Jiang Wu said seriously, "You Taoist sect can't use it anyway, so name a price."

His generous tone amused Zhou Yannan, "Name a price? Do you know who I am?"

"Zhou Yannan, the third uncle of the current head of the Linhai Zhou family."

"You dare to say that even though you know I'm from the Zhou family? Are you richer than the Zhou family?"

"That's not the case, but my friend is richer than the Zhou family."

The only families richer than the Zhou family are the remaining three of the four major families in Linhai. Excluding the Qin family who begs him for help everywhere, there are only the Fang and Han families. Excluding the Han family led by Han Chong who has always disliked metaphysics, there is only the Fang family left.

Among the four major families, Zhou Yannan disliked the Fang family the most, so he replied coldly, "I'll open a thunder talisman."

The next second he took out a talisman from his pocket and threw it into the air. The thin piece of yellow talisman paper flew into the air, and a few strands of electric light lingered around the talisman from time to time, making a "sizzling" sound of electric current. The next second, a thick bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck Jiang Wu.

"The Emperor of Heaven has issued an order to summon the Thunder God, who is connected to the Infinite above and the Netherworld below. Wherever the order is, it must be carried out immediately, as the law requires—"

"Bang!"

A strong bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking the half of the peach forest where Jiang Wu was standing. Jiang Wu's eyes trembled slightly, and he immediately stepped back to avoid it. The terrifying bolt of lightning just brushed past his feet, and even the tip of his shoe was burned.

The next moment, lightning struck the ground, splashing the soil everywhere, and a big hole appeared in that place out of thin air!

Jiang Wu's face turned gloomy. He dared not underestimate the enemy anymore and was about to use a spell. However, before he could do anything, there was a deafening thunder above his head, and the second thunder followed!

There was no way to avoid it. When Jiang Wu was about to cast a spell to withstand the thunder, he suddenly heard a panicked shout behind him -

"Jiang Wu!"

Jiang Wu recognized it as Han Zhong's voice, and a hint of panic flashed across his originally calm face.

Taoist thunder magic and calamity thunder have the same origin. If a cultivator is struck by it, his soul will be injured, but an ordinary person will be burned instantly. At most, he will have several cracks in his soul, but Han Zhong will die.

After realizing this, his mind went blank for an instant, and then without hesitation he urged all of his damaged souls to protect himself.

"Bang!"

A sudden gunshot rang out throughout the backyard, and the terrifying "sizzling" sound above his head disappeared. Before Jiang Wu could react, a hand from behind suddenly grabbed his waist and pressed him into the arms. The familiar scent of wind, frost and blood from his nose revealed the identity of the person, and Jiang Wu's uneasy heart calmed down instantly.

“…”

Jiang Wu subconsciously turned around to look at the person behind him, but the hand across his waist held him tighter. He was wrapped in the broad and warm embrace behind him. With his back pressed against the chest, he could feel his heart beating wildly through his chest.

Nervous, scared... Jiang Wu clearly sensed the emotions of the owner of the body behind him, so he stopped struggling and just hid in the embrace and tilted his head to look.

He saw Han Zhong's resolute and indifferent profile, staring coldly straight ahead, his eyes as dark as the starry night sky staring coldly straight ahead, and he was holding a gun in his hand.

The faint smell of gunpowder filled the air, and before it completely dissipated, the thunder talisman that was pierced by the bullet in mid-air slowly fell to the ground.

Han Zhong slowly lowered the muzzle of his gun and aimed it at Zhou Yannan in front of him, his tone frighteningly cold.

"Do you believe that the next shot will go through your head?"
