Yun Fan stared coldly at the pirate leader's corpse. How dare they even lay a hand on his woman; they were simply tired of living.
Even though he was forced to succeed, it didn't change the fact that Yan Xin was his woman.
Of course, Yan Xin also knew that Yun Fan wouldn't hand her over.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Their defenses are strong, and we can't break through from the outside. So, we'll have to infiltrate first, rescue the people, and then take them all down!"
"Mmm!"
Yan Xin nodded, then said to Yun Fan, "My Lord, why don't we impersonate the envoys sent to ransom them?"
"That's exactly what I was thinking!"
To avoid alerting the enemy, Yun Fan and Yan Xin took a void warship alone and arrived outside the pirate stronghold.
"Who goes there?"
Immediately, someone questioned them.
Yun Fan replied, "You've captured our people and spirit stones. We've come to ransom them!"
Afterward, the pirates opened a section of their defenses, and Yun Fan and Yan Xin successfully entered the stronghold.
At this moment, countless pirates cast greedy glances at Yan Xin. Such a beautiful woman, who wouldn't be tempted?
However, at this time, they dared not have any thoughts; they could only feast their eyes.
After all, such a stunning woman belonged only to their boss, Tan Lang.
Yan Xin was furious, but Yun Fan comforted her, "Don't be angry. They'll be crying later!"
"Mmm!"
Yan Xin nodded, suppressing her anger.
Then, the two of them arrived in the main hall and saw a powerful being. Indeed, it was Tan Lang.
Even in the Blazing Flame Tribe, he would be an elder-level existence.
"Are you here to ransom them empty-handed?"
Tan Lang glared ferociously at Yun Fan, but his interest was even greater in Yan Xin. However, he had his own plan.
Yun Fan said, "Of course not. We've brought spirit materials and treasures, but it's not time to hand them over to you yet!"
"Believe it or not, I'll kill you both!"
Tan Lang coldly threatened the two.
Yun Fan spread his hands, "It's not impossible for you to kill us, but then you won't get the spirit materials and treasures. After all, we've shown sufficient sincerity for this rescue!"
"Hmph!"
Tan Lang said coldly, "I advise you not to have any ulterior motives. My name as Tan Lang isn't for show!"
Indeed, his reputation was immense. Apart from not daring to provoke second-rate powerful races, he had not only dominated but also annihilated weaker worlds.
It had to be said that his methods were extremely cruel.
Yun Fan said, "We need to see our people before we hand over the spirit materials!"
"That's simple!"
Tan Lang waved his hand, and the prisoners were brought forth.
It was clear that Huo Kui and the others were in dire condition, likely having suffered inhuman torture.
At this moment, Huo Kui quickly warned them, "My Lord, you should leave quickly!"
But the two showed no intention of leaving.
Yan Xin angrily exclaimed, "Tan Lang, you dare to mistreat my Blazing Flame Tribe's people. Aren't you afraid of retaliation from my Blazing Flame Tribe?"
As soon as she said this, Tan Lang let out a wild laugh, "Afraid? Of course, I'm afraid!"
"Although your Blazing Flame Tribe is powerful enough, a second-rate strong race, how could I dare to kidnap your people if I wasn't prepared? I have connections above!"
Hearing this, Yan Xin and Yun Fan realized that it was likely that a powerful race was colluding with the pirates. The pirates were responsible for the looting and killing, and the powerful race was responsible for protection.
It seemed that the universe's powerful races were also in great turmoil.
In fact, after the Zhan Tian Clan disappeared, the universe's powerful races had entered a mode of chaos, but they were unaware of it.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Alright, hand over the hostages, and we'll give you the spirit materials!"
However, Tan Lang said, "It's not that easy!"
"You go alone to get the spirit materials. As for them, including your woman, they all have to stay!"
"No!"
Huo Kui said, "My Lord, please don't believe his lies. If you do this, he will never let us go!"
Tan Lang sneered. Of course, he had no intention of letting these people go. He only planned to extort a sum of money, then kill them, and then leave this star system to continue his plundering elsewhere.
As for Yan Xin, he would absolutely not bear to kill her. Such a top-tier beauty was enough for him to... for a hundred years.
At this moment, Yun Fan said, "Tan Lang, since you don't keep your word, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Of course, Yun Fan had no intention of keeping his word either; he was just looking for an excuse.
Hearing this, Tan Lang asked disdainfully, "Then what do you intend to do?"
At this moment, Yun Fan gave Yan Xin a look. Yan Xin immediately understood and charged towards Huo Kui and the others.
Of course, she wasn't there to kill Huo Kui and the others, but to kill the guards.
In the blink of an eye, the guards were killed by Yan Xin, and she then freed Huo Kui and the others from their restraints.
"Princess, aren't you being too reckless?"
Huo Kui said helplessly.
"No!"
Yan Xin replied, "You just need to protect yourselves later!"
"No problem!"
Huo Kui nodded.
Of course, Tan Lang did not show any displeasure throughout the entire process, still watching everything with a calm and composed demeanor.
In his eyes, Yun Fan and the others' actions were all futile.
At this moment, he said playfully to Yun Fan, "Who gave you the guts to come to my stronghold to rescue people?"
Yun Fan replied, "Tan Lang, today I will not only rescue people, but I will also kill you!"
As soon as he said this, Tan Lang scoffed, "You, a mere ant in the Fifth Realm, want to kill me? I don't even know who gave you the courage?"
"Who gave me the courage is not important!"
Yun Fan stepped forward, "What's important is that you are bound to die!"
Then, he moved in front of Tan Lang and said to him, "Tan Lang, do you dare to accept my challenge?"
"Are you serious?"
Tan Lang looked at Yun Fan playfully.
"Of course, I'm serious!"
Yun Fan stated.
"Very well, I will kill you within three moves!"
The next moment, he immediately attacked. He was confident that with his Seventh Realm strength, killing a mere Fifth Realm brat like Yun Fan would be as easy as picking something up.
In an instant, he reached Yun Fan and unleashed a powerful force.
"Boom!"
This force landed and was blocked by Yun Fan without any deviation. Yun Fan was shaken and forced back a few steps.
"He's actually unharmed!"
Tan Lang looked at Yun Fan in shock. No matter how he looked at it, this move of his was a sure kill! He never expected Yun Fan to be unharmed.
Yun Fan said, "Tan Lang, if this is all the strength you have, you can't defeat me!"
"You court death!"
Tan Lang cursed angrily and attacked again, unleashing one powerful force after another. However, to his surprise, Yun Fan merely dodged, not even retaliating.
Although he didn't understand Yun Fan's intentions, Yan Xin did.
At this moment, she immediately said, "Now is the time, kill!"
Instantly, both sides clashed fiercely. The Blazing Flame Tribe experts waiting outside also rushed over to provide support.
The formation had been destroyed by Tan Lang, so there was no defense here at all.
"Kid, you dare to scheme against me!"
Tan Lang glared at Yun Fan in fury. No wonder Yun Fan hadn't retaliated; he had made preparations.
Yun Fan asked, "How do you like this surprise?"
"I swear, you will die a horrible death!"
At this moment, Tan Lang unleashed his peak combat power, intending to instantly kill Yun Fan. As his power spread, the surrounding stars were shattered.
However, Yun Fan calmly said, "It's time for my performance!"
Then, he quickly attacked Tan Lang, and the two engaged in a fierce battle.
Tan Lang had initially thought that Yun Fan, being only in the Fifth Realm, would be easy to kill. He never expected that the combat power Yun Fan displayed would be no weaker than his.
"How is this possible?"
Tan Lang looked at Yun Fan in disbelief. Being two realms weaker, why could he be evenly matched with him? It was completely beyond his expectations.
Yun Fan said, "Tan Lang, it seems you're not that great either!"
"Hmph!"
Tan Lang snorted coldly, "It seems you're tired of living!"
"Tan Lang Devour!"
A giant phantom of a Tan Lang appeared behind him and lunged towards Yun Fan to devour him.
Yun Fan sneered, "When it comes to devouring, I am your ancestor!"
In an instant, Yun Fan also began to use his devouring power, directly counter-attacking Tan Lang.
Tan Lang was shocked. He never expected Yun Fan to possess such terrifying abilities.
"Zhan Tian power! You are from the Zhan Tian Clan!"
He was stunned. He never imagined that after ten thousand years, the Zhan Tian Clan would still exist.
As for why he knew Yun Fan was from the Zhan Tian Clan, it was not surprising at all. After all, he was a person from ten thousand years ago.
However, at that time, he was merely a humble True Immortal.
Who would have thought that ten thousand years later, he would be fighting against the Zhan Tian Clan? The situation was not favorable for him at all.
"Die!"
Since his identity was exposed, Yun Fan no longer held back. He directly unleashed his strongest Zhan Tian power and fought Tan Lang.
Under Yun Fan's suppression, Tan Lang actually fell into a disadvantage.
"As expected of the Zhan Tian Clan. Despite being two realms weaker, you can still suppress me!"
Tan Lang said unwillingly.
At this moment, he finally witnessed the power of the Zhan Tian Clan.
In desperation, he could only brace himself and attack Yun Fan.
"Grasp of the Tan Lang!"
He condensed a giant handprint of a Tan Lang, intending to smash Yun Fan and the planet beneath his feet together.
"Overestimating yourself!"
Yun Fan snorted coldly and pierced through the Grasp of the Tan Lang with his powerful physique!
"Ah!"
Tan Lang let out a scream. Even he hadn't expected such an accident to occur. Just as he was about to attack again, he realized that Yun Fan had already reached him.
"Not good!"
Tan Lang sensed danger and wanted to retreat quickly, but unexpectedly, Yun Fan was faster and had foreseen his actions.
With a punch, he sent Tan Lang flying, smashing into a star smaller than Earth.
"Pfft!"
Tan Lang spat out a mouthful of blood and looked at Yun Fan with apprehension.
