This sudden turn of events shocked many cultivators who were still watching from afar.
It seemed that no one could have anticipated such a dramatic reversal in the battle—two cultivators, locked in a fight to the death, suddenly joining forces.
Even less expected was that while the two were engaged in their deadly struggle, someone else would attempt to assassinate them.
This scene was completely outside the expectations of the vast majority of cultivators.
Not only were the distant onlookers momentarily dumbfounded, but even the two young figures who had been attacking Zhou Yan paused in astonishment.
It was at this moment of their hesitation that Zhou Yan made his move.
As he struck, it was with the terrifying force of the Thunderflame Dao.
This intimidating and paralyzing Thunderflame energy—originating from Zhou Gucheng—burst forth and viciously struck the two attackers.
