Chapter 131 - Chapter 131

After the hegemony battle ended, Lin Yan thought that life would get better in the future. He won seventy thousand merit points. Coupled with some he had accumulated before, it added up to nearly one hundred thousand merit points. For the five of them, this was a huge sum. With it, it was enough to strive to become inner disciples. However, he didn't expect that right after leaving Zhou Peng, they would be followed by disciples of the Heavenly Gate. When they reached a deserted place, Lin Yan finally noticed. But they were all disciples of the Heavenly Gate. The weakest among them was at the second level of Tempering Gangqi, and the strongest had reached the sixth level of Tempering Gangqi. The five of them combined were no match. Facing the bullying of the disciples of the Heavenly Gate, he had endured for several years. The anger and resentment accumulated in his heart could not be described with words. He only knew that as long as he was given a chance, he must kill Yang Han painfully at all costs, even if it meant death! But when Yang Han became the son-in-law of Nangong Lie of the Tianyang Palace, Lin Yan knew that he would never have a chance to take revenge in this life. The Qintian Sect had already pressured him so much that he could hardly breathe. Coupled with the power of the Tianyang Palace, the few of them in the Thousand Machines Sect probably would never have a chance to rise. Being stepped on, watching his brothers being bullied, Lin Yan felt extremely painful inside. Intense hatred welled up in his heart. He hated himself for being unable to protect the people around him. He didn't deserve to be the eldest brother. Over the years, they had been bullied everywhere following him and had never had a good day. Thinking of these, Lin Yan's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth were grinding loudly, and the internal energy in his body surged to an astonishing extent. Killing intent emanated. "Oh? You still have a temper?" Zhang Yan, the young man in white, sneered disdainfully. He once again stomped hard on Lin Yan's head, pressing down firmly. The powerful aura emanating from him instantly crushed the killing intent on Lin Yan. "At the second level of Tempering Gangqi, you dare to show off in front of me. You're courting death." With dirt and weeds all over his nose, mouth, and body, Lin Yan was pressed down by the power released by Zhang Yan and couldn't move at all. Tears flowed from his eyes. That heavy pain couldn't be vented, and tears flowed involuntarily. The physical pain was far less severe than the pain in his heart. Facing someone at the sixth level of Tempering Gangqi, Lin Yan had no way at all. He didn't even have a chance to fight desperately. Chang Feng, Fang Kui and the others looked at Lin Yan, and tears couldn't help flowing either. Their hearts were filled with intense anger. When they were about to exert strength, they were firmly suppressed by the power of the Tempering Gangqi realm. They couldn't muster a single bit of strength in their bodies. "Let them go..." A voice rang out coldly, extremely frigid and terrifying. "Say it again. Let them go!" The tone was filled with icy killing intent, terrifying killing intent from hell. Zhang Yan turned his head and glanced at the figure in the distance. He spat on the ground. "Damn it. Who the hell are you? Dare to meddle in my business..." Before he could finish speaking, an extremely powerful black energy was like a fired bullet. With a'swoosh', it shot through and directly pierced into Zhang Yan's head. "Boom!" Headshot! Zhang Yan's head exploded, and a mixture of blood and brain matter splattered everywhere. His body stood for half a second before collapsing with a thud. At the sixth level of Tempering Gangqi, he was instantly killed with one move. The speed was so fast that it couldn't be described with words. There was no time to react. They stared blankly at Zhang Yan's headless corpse, then dumbly at the figure in the distance. Gradually, fear crept up bit by bit. Their eyes began to show fear, their faces turned pale, and cold sweat poured out all over their bodies. An extremely gloomy sense of fear. The terrifying killing intent made them unable to even take a step. They could only keep trembling there. "You,,, you,,, who,,, are,,, you?" "I,,, we,,, are,,, disciples,,, of,,, the,,, Heavenly,,, Gate,,, people,,, of,,, the,,, Qintian,,, Sect." "Boom!" The person who was speaking was once again killed with a headshot. The remaining four were even more panicked. Their bodies were soaked through. They didn't even dare to breathe loudly. How could they dare to speak? Lin Yan and the others got up from the ground and looked at the figure in the distance, filled with gratitude. Suddenly, Yi Qianhan's expression changed slightly. Her eyes moved, and she choked up. She knew that she had been saved by Zhou Peng again. That debt she had always wanted to repay, but now it was piling up more and more. Probably she would never be able to repay it in this lifetime. "Is it you?" Yi Qianhan said softly, in a very low voice, but revealing joy. She could already determine in her heart that the figure was Zhou Peng, but she still asked. She didn't know why she asked either. She just wanted to ask. Zhou Peng nodded. Then the power of darkness was suddenly released, covering the waning moon in the sky. Instantly, it enveloped the remaining four people. The night became even darker, as if they were in thick black clouds. They couldn't see their fingers. Powerful fear filled their entire bodies and minds. At this moment, they were afraid. They were truly afraid from the bottom of their hearts and couldn't help but shout. "Help, help,,,," "We are disciples of the Heavenly Gate. You,,, you,,, can't kill me,,,," "The Qintian Sect won't let you go." "Please,,, spare me,,, wu..." Zhou Peng took a light step forward. On his hands, the power of darkness was still continuously emerging. That feeling, the feeling of controlling the life and death of others, was extremely wonderful. The power of darkness from the Hades of hell made his blood boil. A deathly cold smile was drawn on his face. He gently clenched his hands and coldly uttered one word, "Die!" The power of darkness contracted wildly. Suddenly, a huge black hole appeared, swallowing everything entwined by the power of darkness. "Ahh!" Several screams pierced the night sky. In the blink of an eye, there was nothing left. Even the bloodstains splattered from the headshots just now were completely swallowed up. It was an extremely perfect destruction of the corpse and erasing of traces. Zhou Peng exhaled and sighed inwardly, "Damn, this Dark God Technique is too consuming of internal energy. Performing it once consumes twenty thousand points. But this power is really awesome. Hehe..." "Zhou Peng?!" Lin Yan took a step forward. When he got closer and took a look, his eyes showed a look of gratitude. Chang Feng and the others came up at the same time. Only Yi Qianhan was left standing there alone, biting her tongue and suppressing her sobs. Tears still couldn't stop flowing out. At this moment, she who was like a thousand-year ice was extremely strong, but finally couldn't hold back. Zhou Peng smiled. "Brother Lin, I'm a bit late." Zhou Peng didn't expect to encounter this either. A scene of a hero saving the beauty was staged. He inwardly chuckled. Looking at Yi Qianhan in the distance, his heart twitched suddenly. As if he could feel her pain. Suddenly, Lin Yan knelt down abruptly. At the same time, Chang Feng, Fang Kui, and Xue Dingshan also knelt down at the same time. Facing countless insults, taunts, disdain, and injustices in the past, they endured. But now they couldn't endure anymore. They couldn't endure it, but they didn't have the strength. They wanted to become stronger. That intense desire was stronger than ever. Zhou Peng was stunned. From their eyes, he understood. When he was bullied by Zhou Kun, he had the same look. The look of longing to become stronger. He took a step forward and supported Lin Yan. "Brother Lin, what are you doing? Get up and talk." "Zhou Peng, lead us to become stronger." Lin Yan knelt firmly on the ground as if taking root. His fiery eyes stared unwaveringly at Zhou Peng. "Lead us to become stronger." Chang Feng and the others said in unison. At this moment, Yi Qianhan also came up. Looking at Zhou Peng, she didn't even have time to wipe the tears on her face. Suddenly, she knelt down. "Please..." "You,,, you get up first." Zhou Peng looked at Yi Qianhan and felt a pain in his heart. The five of them knelt in front of him. He didn't know what to do. Lin Yan and the five of them remained motionless, their eyes extremely firm. In one year, Zhou Peng had broken through from the fifth level of Gathering Spirit to the sixth level of Tempering Gangqi. In their hearts, Zhou Peng's cultivation speed was incredibly fast. For them, Zhou Peng was like a god. They cultivated very slowly on their own. Only by relying on Zhou Peng. Zhou Peng didn't expect the situation to turn out like this. Looking at their resolute eyes, he was stunned. "Okay, I will lead you to become stronger!"
