Chapter 13016 The Stubborn Boy

However, Jin Yan stood firm like a rock, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes. His feet were deeply embedded in the ground, and he used all his strength to resist this force.

Although his body was moving backwards, every step he took seemed extremely firm, revealing his determination not to back down.

This power was so terrifying that it almost drained all the energy in Jin Yan's body. However, at this critical moment of life and death, a miracle happened.

The medicinal power that had been left in Jin Yan's body and had not yet been completely refined seemed to be awakened by a mysterious force at this moment, surging and boiling wildly in his body. These medicinal powers were like seedlings that had been drought-stricken and had finally received a good rain, quickly absorbing the surrounding spiritual power and transforming it into Jin Yan's own power.

boom!
At this critical moment, an unprecedented powerful aura suddenly erupted from Jin Yan's body, and his cultivation level actually achieved a breakthrough at this moment! Leaping from the fourth level of Tongtian Realm to the fifth level of Tongtian Realm, this not only meant a huge leap in his strength, but also a perfect display of his will and potential.

As his realm improved, Jin Yan's power also increased exponentially. The injuries he had suffered from the battle had miraculously improved at this moment, and the cracks and pains seemed to be gradually healed under the nourishment of the new strength.

His eyes became brighter and more energetic, and his whole body radiated a dazzling light, like a god about to awaken.

"Good boy, you are really hard to kill." Seeing this, the one-horned man's face was so gloomy that water could almost drip from it. He never expected that his painstaking attack not only failed to kill Jin Yan, but also allowed the other party to achieve a breakthrough in desperation.

This feeling of defeat made him feel extremely depressed and angry, as if he had punched cotton, with no place to put his strength. However, he also knew that Jin Yan's strength at the moment was no longer what it used to be, and it would probably not be easy to kill him again.

"Originally, my target was only Ling Xiao. He is like a sword hanging over the Ji family's head, threatening our peace and future at all times. However, things are unpredictable, and today I encountered a demon like you. Your strength and tenacity are beyond my expectations. It seems that for the long-term stability of the Ji family, I must first wipe you out of this world."

The one-horned man's words revealed endless chillness and determination. His eyes were as cold as ice, fixed tightly on Jin Yan, as if he wanted to freeze all his vitality at this moment.

Jin Yan silently endured this heavy pressure. There was no fear or retreat in his eyes, only determination and indomitable spirit.

Even though his body was exhausted from the previous battle, and his two arms were broken and bleeding from forcibly resisting the one-horned man's attack, he still stood there like an unshakable mountain.

His heart was filled with a desire for victory and a firm belief in protecting Ling Xiao. This belief supported him and prevented him from wavering even when facing such a powerful enemy.

Seeing this, the horned man sneered, a smile that showed both recognition of Jin Yan's strength and the coldness and ruthlessness of the end of his life. He slowly raised his right hand, with his five fingers slightly open, as if he was controlling some ancient and powerful power.

As his palm pressed down gently, the whole space seemed to tremble, and a force of destruction surged out from the void, sweeping towards the golden flame like a flood. This force contained the mystery and power of the laws of heaven and earth, which made people feel awe and fear.

At this moment, the sky seemed to lose its color, and the whole world was shrouded by this power, becoming dark and depressing. Jin Yan could clearly feel the destructive aura contained in that power. It was like a huge net that bound him tightly, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

At that moment, Jin Yan's face looked extremely ferocious due to extreme pain and unyielding. His eyes were wide open, as if they were about to spit out flames, and his mouth was tightly pursed, and he let out a low and powerful roar. This roar seemed to vent the anger in his body, and also showed his determination to fight to the end.

He knew that there was still a big gap between his strength and that of the unicorn man, but this realization did not make him retreat. On the contrary, a stronger fighting spirit surged in his heart, which was the persistence of his beliefs, the responsibility, and the loyalty to friendship.

The one-horned man looked at Jin Yan's resolute and unyielding figure, with a complex light flashing in his eyes. He really admired Jin Yan's courage and strength. If such a young man could be used by the Ji family, he would undoubtedly be a force that could not be ignored.

So, he spoke again, his tone more sincere and tempting: "Haha, what a rare courage and determination. If you are willing to let go of your obsession and submit to my Ji family, I promise that you will get unprecedented resources and support, your cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and your future will be dazzling. This is the last time I extend an olive branch to you, and it is also your last chance."

However, Jin Yan's answer was firm and resolute. The corners of his mouth curled up into a sinister smile, which contained both contempt for death and persistence in loyalty:
"So much nonsense! In life, there are things you should do and things you shouldn't do. Although I, Jin Yan, am not a great hero, I know that a promise is worth a thousand gold. Since I have determined that Ling Xiao is my boss, I will never betray him. Today, no matter what the outcome, I will stand here and use my flesh and blood to build an insurmountable barrier for you. If you want to hurt him, you have to step over me first!"

Jin Yan spoke these words in a sonorous and powerful voice, and every word seemed to burst out from the bottom of his heart, full of unshakable firmness and determination. There was no fear or hesitation in his eyes, only the desire for victory and the persistence of friendship.

At this moment, he seemed no longer to be the unknown boy, but had transformed into a true warrior, interpreting the true meaning of loyalty and courage with his actions.

"Okay, you stubborn boy. Since you are so obsessed, let me give you a ride." The one-horned man's voice was mixed with impatience and determination. He knew that delay was useless, so he didn't waste any time. He moved and prepared to launch a fatal blow to Jin Yan.

Although Jin Yan had just broken through and his realm had improved, the power he had gained in such a hurry had not yet been fully stabilized, let alone recovered to its former heyday. Now was the best time to eliminate him.

Otherwise, if we give Jin Yan a chance to catch his breath and allow him to thoroughly consolidate his new realm, it would be extremely difficult to deal with him again.

However, just as the one-horned man gathered all his strength and prepared to launch this attack, his movements suddenly paused.
