Chapter 962: Stubbornly Unyielding Until Death 'Yellow Springs'

Chapter 944: The Stubborn-to-the-End "Huang Quan"

"The stubborn-to-the-end Huang Quan... indeed lives up to his name."

Xiao Yan lightly sighed. Huang Quan, among the Eight Great Clans, possessed extraordinary prestige. His reputation, even surpassing that of some elders, stemmed from his unparalleled fighting prowess. He was known as the "Madman Huang Quan" and had earned this moniker through countless battles where he defied the odds and refused to yield, regardless of the strength of his opponent. Even when facing formidable foes, he would fight to the death, a true depiction of the phrase "rather die than surrender."

The Huang Clan, as one of the Eight Great Clans, held significant influence in the Zhongzhou region. However, their true power lay not just in their numbers but in the exceptional individuals they produced, like Huang Quan.

"Since you've come to retrieve the bone armor, you must be confident in your abilities. Hand it over, and we can avoid unnecessary conflict." Xiao Yan's voice, though calm, held an undercurrent of warning. He understood that reclaiming the bone armor would not be a simple matter, especially considering Huang Quan's reputation.

Huang Quan's eyes narrowed slightly. He could sense the quiet strength emanating from Xiao Yan. This young man was far from ordinary. However, surrendering the bone armor was not an option. It was an ancestral artifact, a symbol of the Huang Clan's heritage, and he had been entrusted with its protection.

"The Huang Clan's treasures are not to be easily given away. If you wish to take it, you will have to prove your strength." Huang Quan's voice was firm, unwavering. His stance clearly indicated his refusal to back down.

Xiao Yan knew that further words would be futile. He had hoped to resolve this peacefully, but it seemed a confrontation was inevitable. He extended his hand, and the flames within his palm flickered to life, their vibrant colors a silent testament to his power.

"Very well. If that is your decision, then I will respect it." Xiao Yan's voice grew colder, the earlier calmness replaced by a determined edge.

The air around them grew tense as the two figures prepared for battle. The fate of the bone armor, and perhaps more, would be decided in the ensuing clash. The legendary stubbornness of Huang Quan would be put to the ultimate test against Xiao Yan's formidable abilities.
