Chapter 60 (1/2)

If only his cousin, Zhou Yan was here, if only they were given the seal of the golden sword…

However, at this very moment, he was being forced to bend his knee, an insult and shame to the highest degree, but not a single soul would be willing to stand up for him.

“Brother Zhou Xian!”

The instant Zhou Xian was sinking in an ocean of despair, hopelessness and shame, a clear and beautiful voice touched the deepest chambers of his heart.

This was from a lass, whose name was Zhou Momo, whom he had never exactly favored… All because in the family, her mother was merely a lowly handmaiden, hence he assumed she was without any position of power.

This was a young lass whose strong silent romantic feelings the young lad was able to notice. However, the young lass had made no attempts in making the first move nor had she boldly spoken to him before.

A young lass who was merely in the first rank within the realm of the Blade’s Essence stood out for him in that moment.

“Zhou… Momo”

Zhou Xian mumbled in silence, as he attempted to resist the pressure on his body. However, he coughed out a puddle of blood.

“Yes, Brother Zhou Xian, don’t you worry, we will all be well! Those who dare bully us, will not end well!”

Zhou Momo stared coldly at Zhou Yang, and as she approached Zhou Xian, she used her slender body to help Zhou Xian up from the immense pressure that he had been inflicted by.

This was a pressure exerted from the Blade’s Menace. Although Zhou Yan was in the second rank of the realm of the Blade’s Menace, when he was being faced against an opponent as weak as Zhou Xian, embarrassing him in front of a crowd of people would be an extremely easy task to do.

Hence, at this moment a mere maiden whose powers were merely in the first rank of the realm of the Blade’s Essence had the audacity to stand against him, This thought made Zhou Yang laugh.

“All you lot from Canglan City are nothing more than a bunch of scum, and you lot still naively assumed that your Canglan City once had Zhou Wangchen and that alone gave you lot the right to act so arrogantly? You fools still think you were living in an incomparable glory? With my current status and position of power, murdering all of you is as easy as slaughtering dogs and hens, and you fools think I do not dare to do anything to you?!”

Zhou Yang was furious, however, he was smiling through his fury, then proceeded to exclaim, “Kneel for me! Anyone who dares defy me will be murdered!”

As the lad yelled, he unleashed his second rank within the realm of the Blade’s Menace, incredible ferocious Blade’s Menace. As the Blade’s Menace was unleashed both Zhou Lingyi and Zhou Lingyao instantly coughed up blood.

However, the both of them forcefully resisted this immense pressure and had refused to bend the knee!

“Hmph! Ignorant fools!”

As Zhou Yang noticed that with his sheer force alone was not enough to force these two to bend the knee, he proceeded to increase the output of his powers!

It was also at this moment, the first person to stand up for this lad was Zhou Momo, she was barely able to resist this immensely powerful force from the Blade’s Menace alone, as she felt like her body was suddenly about to explode as webs of cracks had began to form all over the young lass body!

Strands of cracks that were stained with blood were pouring out of her body without any signs of stopping, this was a ghastly sight indeed, terrifying to everyone around.

Her snow-white dress was also beginning to form webs of cracks, if the blood had not mixed with the cracks on her dress, her inner beauty would be on full display for everyone to witness.

The bones in both of her legs had instantly snapped, however, she had remained standing, and was staring with a gaze of pure rebellion at Zhou Yang, that gaze was seemingly hinting at him saying, “I will never submit! Brother Zhou Yan will avenge us!”

“You still refuse to bend your knees? Not bad, you have some foolish courage! Then, I shall make sure you lot remember this lesson!

“Do remember, the Zhou family from Canglan City are all lowlife hounds, if you lot refuse to wag your tails as a hound would do, then you lot should never have come here!”

It seemed Zhou Yang had recalled some events in the past as his entire expression had morphed into a much ferocious look in an instant!

“If you are truly capable, then by all means, kill me! The prime genius of our Canglan CIty, Zhou Yan will stop at nothing to avenge us! You will never have things your way soon enough!”

The young lass, Zhou Yao had been braving the immense power from the lad’s Blade’s Menace as the edge of her mouth was already bleeding, while she struggled to inch her way forward!

She had struggled painfully to get words out of her mouth, however, she had spoken her mind and was standing by Zhou Momo’s side.

It was not only her who had stood out, Zhou Bi and Zhou Gucheng too had stood forward.

This group had initially consisted of seven people, besides the raw prowess of Zhou Lingyi and Zhou Lingyao, it was obvious that Zhou Xian’s powers were not enough to face this man, however, Zhou Gucheng and the other people, were barely at the first rank of the realm of the Blade’s Cardinal, how could they possibly face such ‘powerful’ foe?

However, although their outcome was death, they boldly stood forward.

At this very moment, Zhou Lingyao’s gaze was seemingly on fire, however, Zhou Lingyi, on the other hand, had completely morphed into an extremely cold and emotionless young lass, the duo too had stood directly in front of Zhou Xian.

The initial grief and sadness Zhou Xian felt for having no one stand up for him had instantly been surprised by such a gesture.

Thus, in a sudden moment, he felt incredibly guilty for Zhou Gucheng who was merely a rank three swordsman stood up for his sake, he was incredibly moved and remorseful at this moment.

Due to the lack of power, they had ended up being oppressed and humiliated by someone else, furthermore, even a young lass who had very clear feelings for him would be murdered by this man! And a genius like him was incapable of defending a maiden who stood by his side!

“Ahh…”

Zhou Xian roared like a mad lad, he was being overwhelmed by a series of emotions as he rushed toward Zhou Yang as if he was fighting for his life.

“As I’ve said before, you lot from Canglan City are all low lives! Whoever this Zhou Yan lad is, who knew what kind of waves this insignificant loach could possibly cause? And now as everyone has witnessed, it was Zhou Xian who had committed insolence beforehand, it wasn’t I Zhou Yang who had made the first move!”

Zhou Yang laughed as a cruel sinister undertone flashed across his eyes, it was similar to a predaceous wolf, while an indescribable sinister aura emanated from his very own body.
