In the end, the dozen or so nearby arenas were all booked by Zhou Yan's people, and they all won ten consecutive matches, leaving the challengers so disheartened they were on the verge of spitting blood.
The crowd below watched with great excitement, delighted by the outcome, and shouted, "Good, good, good!"
Two of the challengers, in particular, had their faces darken after being defeated by five or six different people in ten matches.
Later, the generals grew bored and left, finding no worthy opponents as they were too weak.
However, the challengers gathered together and said, "Damn it! These bastards are too ruthless. They've caused us to lose so much. We can't just let them leave like this."
"I lost something worth ten million spirit coins, and I can't let them take it away."
"They've gone too far, making me lose so much. Let's follow them and see where they're staying."
"Those few girls aren't only strong but also very beautiful. We must make them pay a price later."
...
"Lord, someone is following us. They're probably those who were unconvinced earlier and want revenge," An Tian said to Zhou Yan.
"I noticed too. There are quite a number of them. Since they want to deal with us, do you think we should give them a chance?" Zhou Yan looked at everyone.
"Lord, tell us what to do. I'll take the lead and be the first to kill them!" Yang Zaixing stepped forward.
"I haven't had enough fights yet, and I didn't have enough fun in the arena. I'll let them know the true power of Dian Wei!" Dian Wei also spoke.
"Just right, we haven't had a good spar yet."
"These guys really can't take a loss. If you can't take a loss, then don't set up a challenge."
Zhou Yan spotted a small alley and said, "They won't dare to make a move in a crowded place. Let's go this way."
"Alright." Everyone followed Zhou Yan into the alley.
"These guys are trying to escape. Chase after them!" Those behind saw Zhou Yan's group enter the alley and thought they were fleeing. A group immediately went to report, while the rest pursued.
Zhou Yan deliberately lured them to a deserted area, then found a large open space. No one was around, making it a good place to strike.
"We'll wait for them here," Zhou Yan said.
Everyone spread out, waiting for those people to arrive.
The pursuers quickly caught up. Seeing Zhou Yan's group stop, they immediately said, "Kid, why aren't you running anymore? Weren't you very powerful before? You made us lose so much."
"So, you're all sore losers. If you can't take a loss, why set up a challenge? Is this how you do business?" Zhou Yan said nonchalantly.
"Hmph! How we do business by setting up challenges here is our business. You shouldn't have been so greedy, and you came as a group, clearly intending to mess with us."
"Kid, if you know what's good for you, compensate each of us with one hundred million spirit coins, and we'll let you go!"
"That's right, pay up!"
"Oh, what if I refuse!" Zhou Yan sneered.
"Hmph! Kid, I don't care who you are. This is the Xuanfeng Dynasty, not the outside world. No one will care even if you die here. You'd best be sensible, or we'll kill you all!"
"We know you're powerful, but with so many of us, do you think they can defeat us!"
"Most of you are at most at the fiftieth heaven. We have many masters. If you don't want to die, hand over the money honestly as compensation."
Unfortunately, Zhou Yan paid them no mind.
He even looked at them with a mocking gaze, as if to say they were overestimating themselves.
More footsteps sounded, and another group arrived behind them. Judging by their numbers, there were at least a hundred people, making them even more confident.
"Hahaha! Kid, do you think we were wasting our breath talking to you for no reason? We were just waiting for reinforcements."
"That's right, you're dead today. Everyone, attack together."
"Capture those women alive, and kill all the men."
They charged forward. Zhou Yan nodded at the generals and said, "Leave none alive!"
"Yes, Lord!"
An Tian and Liu Li were the fastest, their realms also the strongest, at over eighty heavenly layers. Dealing with those at sixty or seventy heavenly layers was incredibly easy.
An Tian formed his hand into a claw, and streaks of black energy coalesced into a dragon claw, attacking the area ahead.
A dragon's roar echoed, and the three in front were hit by the dragon claw, their bodies severely wounded and pierced by energy on the spot.
Liu Li unleashed a palm strike, and a peculiar flame, carrying terrifying heat, ignited five or six people.
"Ah!"
"Help! What kind of flame is this!"
Liu Li's flame was incredibly potent. A mere touch would ignite the entire body. Seeing their companions in such a state, the others dared not advance, and some even trembled with fear.
But the generals such as Dian Wei, Yang Zaixing, Wu Song, and Meng Tian picked up their weapons and charged towards the remaining enemies.
"I haven't killed enough yet. This time, I'll send you on your way!" Zhao Min was not to be trifled with. She wielded her weapon and charged towards the enemy.
"A bunch of bastards, so annoying." Xiao Zhao also rushed forward.
Diao Chan and Chang'e also joined the fray.
Cai Yan took out her Jiaowei Qin and bestowed buffs upon everyone, instantly increasing their combat power by one to two times. This was Cai Yan's current strength.
A great battle erupted. Although the enemy had over a hundred people, many of whom were at the sixty heavenly layers and above, the difference in combat effectiveness was too vast.
Their own strength was already formidable, and now with Cai Yan, a super healer, bestowing various buffs, their might was like that of someone who had taken potent medicine.
In a short time, the hundred-plus enemies were routed, half of them dead or wounded.
"Escape!"
Unfortunately, Zhou Yan had already sealed the space. When the enemies saw an invisible barrier behind them, their faces turned ashen.
"This is bad, our escape route is blocked. There's no way out."
"These guys are too strong, we're no match for them."
"Kid, let us go, and we'll forget our past grievances..."
"Pfft!"
Before the man could finish speaking, Meng Wu beheaded him, saying, "Too much nonsense."
"Kill!"
The generals' fighting spirit soared, further demoralizing the desperate enemies.
"Have mercy, sirs!"
"Let us go."
"We'll never dare again."
Moments later, the enemies were all dealt with. Zhou Yan used several spells to incinerate the bodies on the ground and purify all traces of the surroundings, as if no battle had ever occurred.
"Let's go." Zhou Yan and his group left as if nothing had happened.
