Her figure solidified from a phantom of light and shadow in an instant!
Her long, glossy black hair stirred without wind. On her exquisitely perfect face, the madness and coldness in those phoenix eyes seemed capable of freezing one's soul.
Barefoot, she floated three inches above the ground. She wore nothing more than a simple white tracksuit, yet radiated a pressure thousands—no, tens of thousands—of times more terrifying than the Abyss Demon Dragon!
Time and space twisted at that moment.
The entire world fell silent.
Everyone's minds crashed in that instant, turning completely blank.
She... she walked out of the image?
What was this?
What the hell was going on?
This completely defied every law of physics and conservation of energy they knew!
"You... do you know?"
Yang Yan tilted her head, studying the group of thugs who had frozen stiff before her with interest. There was a hint of sickness in her voice.
"Do you know... that this kind of one-time, ultra-long-distance Dimensional Teleportation Terminal that can precisely lock onto a living being's vital signs... is very expensive!"
"Gulp."
The Great Axe brute at the front had his Adam's apple bobbing wildly. He wanted to speak, but found that his vocal cords seemed to be tightly gripped by an invisible hand. Not a sound came out.
His entire body, from his soul down to every cell, trembled frantically.
Urging him to run.
But he could not move.
It was not just him. Every Professioner harboring ill intent toward Yang Yu had been nailed to the spot by an invisible force field. They could not even move a finger.
"Looks like you can't afford to compensate me."
Yang Yan shook her head in apparent disappointment.
She extended a finger as pale as jade and lightly pointed it at the Great Axe brute.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling display of light.
There was only a soft pop, like a bubble being pierced.
Under the horrified stares of everyone present, the nearly two-meter-tall Great Axe brute, built like a bear, began to silently... vanish from between his brows.
He did not turn into flesh and blood, nor did he become ash.
It was as though an eraser had wiped him out of this world. From existence to nothingness, he disappeared completely, leaving behind not even the slightest trace.
"Ah..."
One thug finally could not endure the extreme terror any longer. His mind broke completely, and he let out half a shrill scream.
Yang Yan's gaze swept over him indifferently.
Another soft pop.
The screaming thug followed in the same footsteps, vanishing into thin air.
Silence.
Deathly silence.
The remaining dozen or so thugs had even stopped breathing. Their eyes were bloodshot from terror, while tears and snot streamed down uncontrollably, mixing with the dust and leaving them in a sorry state.
Only now did they finally understand what kind of terrifying existence they had provoked.
This was not a god.
This was a demon!
A demon goddess who had crossed worlds from the Abyss dimension!
Yang Yan seemed to have lost interest in slaughtering ants. Somewhat impatiently, she snapped her fingers.
The crisp sound was like the swing of Death God's scythe.
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop...
After a series of faint sounds, the remaining dozen or so thugs, together with the weapons in their hands, were completely erased from the world.
From beginning to end, she had not even taken a single step.
Having done all that, it was as though she had merely brushed away a few specks of dust that offended her eyes. Only then did her gaze slowly fall upon the charred, dying youth lying on the ground.
The coldness and madness in her eyes, enough to freeze eternity, melted away in an instant.
They became an aching tenderness that seemed ready to overflow.
She slowly descended to the ground, carefully walked to Yang Yu's side, and crouched down.
In the distance, Leng Yuan and Lu Fei looked at this devastatingly beautiful woman without daring to breathe loudly.
They felt that the shock they had experienced tonight surpassed everything they had encountered in the past twenty years combined.
"Thank you for saving my little brother."
Yang Yan extended her slender fingers and gently brushed over the dried blood on Yang Yu's face. Without looking up, she spoke to Leng Yuan.
Her voice had returned to its cool clarity, but the innate aloofness that seemed to place her above all living beings still made Leng Yuan feel an inexplicable pressure.
"It was my duty. I'm with the Professioner Association. Protecting citizens is my responsibility."
Leng Yuan endured the intense pain in her chest and tried to keep her voice steady.
As she looked at Yang Yan, stormy waves surged through her heart.
Dimensional teleportation? Erasing people as though her words were law?
This kind of power had completely surpassed the limits of her understanding.
Was her older brother this powerful?
Even a legendary s-rank spatial Professioner could never do this so effortlessly!
"The Professioner Association?" The corner of Yang Yan's lips curled into an almost imperceptible arc, as if in disdain. "What use could an association in a small place like Lin Hai City possibly be?"
Her words were harsh, but Leng Yuan could not refute them.
The truth was right before her. If Yang Yan had not arrived in time, she and Lu Fei, along with this youth who had created a miracle, would likely have become cold corpses.
Yang Yan ignored her and focused on examining Yang Yu's body.
"This silly boy actually dared to use it."
She murmured softly, her tone filled with heartache.
"Sixty percent of the blood in his body was burned away. His mind was nearly completely eroded by that King's Will that did not belong to him... What a troublesome idiot."
"Fortunately, you helped him use Life Essence, or this would have been troublesome!"
"You... are this student's older sister?" Leng Yuan hesitated, but could not help asking.
"Mm." Yang Yan gave a faint response.
After Yang Yan nodded, Leng Yuan took out everything she had been keeping for Yang Yu.
"You should hold on to these for him first."
Yang Yan's gaze shifted to Yang Yu's Wild Boar King Set.
Her brows furrowed slightly.
"So that's how it is. This is quite a good set of equipment. If I'd known equipment like this existed back then, I would have risked tackling the Nightmare Grade of the Wild Boar Cave too. What a pity—I had no teammates at the time."
She then put away all the Legendary Quality equipment and materials Yang Yu had dropped.
Then she directly gave her name.
"Let me introduce myself again."
"Yang Yan, Imperial Capital University, War College, third year."
"You did well." Yang Yan stood up and looked calmly at Leng Yuan. "I'll remember this favor. If you encounter any trouble in Lin Hai City that you can't resolve in the future, you can use my name."
At the same time, she took out an entire bottle of Life Essence and handed it over.
This was not Leng Yuan's single drop, but an entire bottle.
"Thank you!" Leng Yuan said respectfully as she accepted Yang Yan's potion.
"Mm."
Yang Yan picked up Yang Yu, who had already returned to normal, and turned to leave.
"Miss Yang Yan, wait!" Lu Fei gathered his courage and asked loudly, "How should we report what happened to classmate Yang Yu outside? He solo-killed a World BOSS. I'm afraid we can't keep this hidden!"
Yang Yan paused.
She turned back. A frigid gleam flashed through her beautiful phoenix eyes, seeming both a warning and a declaration.
"Report it truthfully."
"My little brother, Yang Yan's brother, killed a World BOSS. Is there a problem with that?"
After saying that, her figure, along with Yang Yu in her arms, slowly faded where they stood until they disappeared completely.
