Escape?
Did Zhou Yan want to escape?
It was Locke and the others who should be escaping.
Zhou Yan looked at them and nodded, saying, "Congratulations on successfully setting yourselves up for an inferno."
"Zhou Yan, no matter how strong you are, can one person be our match?" Locke sneered.
Then, Locke summoned a demigod-level expert. As soon as this demigod appeared, his eyes locked onto Zhou Yan, giving him no chance to escape.
Locke was full of confidence and looked at Zhou Yan, saying, "Don't think I know nothing about you. You're alone now, you can't summon the strong from your territory anymore, right?"
"One demigod, twenty experts at the ninety-ninth heaven, over a hundred experts at the ninetieth heaven, and the rest are all above the seventieth heaven. Do you think you can escape?"
"Do you think I, Locke, could roam a sea without any strength?"
"If I didn't have a demigod, do you think I could have survived until now? This demigod is known only to you outsiders, apart from my closest confidants."
"However, you're already dead. It doesn't matter if you know. You can't escape anyway."
"Oh, a demigod, that's truly surprising." Zhou Yan said so, but he showed no surprise, only sarcasm.
"I will show you how ignorant your every assumption is in my eyes."
Zhou Yan did not summon any other experts. For Zhou Yan, a great battle could make him stronger. The previous group was not worth his effort, but these people were enough for him to act.
Zhou Yan wanted to use these people as a foundation to constantly hone his martial arts and walk further on the path of martial arts.
This was the path of growing stronger through battle and achieving enlightenment through martial arts. Although Zhou Yan was still far from this path, he had already begun to prepare himself to walk it.
"Hmph, then let's see what you've got!" Locke looked at Zhou Yan and commanded, "Kill!"
The demigod expert beside Locke was a curse master. He chanted incantations, emitting a series of strange symbols. These symbols looked like words, like some ancient glyphs, containing a peculiar energy.
Especially when they were combined, they unleashed a bizarre energy wave. This energy surged towards Zhou Yan's body, like some kind of rope, attempting to trap and bind him firmly.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan was disdainful. A surge of energy not weaker than the opponent's erupted from his body. The terrifying Hunyuan Golden Light directly shattered the opponent's curse.
"What powerful energy fluctuations, truly extraordinary!"
The curse master expert was shocked but did not stop. He chanted supreme curses again, and even more powerful incantations surged towards Zhou Yan.
The curse writings transformed into a giant net, like a fishing net, trying to completely trap Zhou Yan within its confines.
At this moment, the surrounding experts also attacked, all drawing their weapons and unleashing powerful attacks.
Mages wielded staffs, unleashing powerful magic.
Warriors wielded various weapons, emitting battle qi, and slashing out waves of sword energy towards Zhou Yan.
Dozens of archers held powerful bows and arrows, unleashing volleys of arrows capable of piercing mountains.
A few beast masters summoned their pets, some spewing destructive flames, some releasing ice, and others erupting with balls of dark destructive energy.
Cultivators unleashed destructive spells, intending to annihilate Zhou Yan.
A few experts who cultivated battle qi transformed into giant horses, charging towards Zhou Yan.
Faced with the combined attack of over a thousand experts and a demigod, Zhou Yan remained as calm as still water. He formed circles with his hands, and the Hunyuan Yin-Yang energy formed a Tai Chi shield, enveloping him.
The enemy's attacks were dense, terrifying, powerful, and bizarre. Each one was formidable, and when they converged, they were even more so.
But as these energy attacks reached the Tai Chi shield, they suddenly slowed down, became strange, and even weaker ones dissipated directly.
Inside the Tai Chi shield, Zhou Yan began to practice Tai Chi. A massive Tai Chi formation appeared beneath his feet.
The Tai Chi formation protected him, making him impervious to all attacks. Countless energy attacks were drawn by a pulling force, began to rotate, and were then dissolved, decomposed, and formed into a sea.
This was like a sea of chaos, a very peculiar ocean. With a push of Zhou Yan's hand, a portion of this chaotic sea was pushed out, and chaotic seawater rained down on the enemies to the left.
Zhou Yan pushed again, sending another wave of chaotic seawater towards the right, then towards the back, and the front.
The chaotic seawater was like a large watermelon, divided by Zhou Yan into front, back, left, and right sections, and returned to them.
These were their own attacks, merely condensed into a mass by Zhou Yan's peculiar methods and then returned to them in this manner.
Facing this chaotic sea, none of them felt any powerful energy fluctuations, yet their instincts told them that this sea was terrifying and they had to avoid it.
But they found they could not escape. It was as if they were pinned in place, or as if they were stuck by a very sticky force.
It was then that they realized that the entire sky, at some unknown point, had been covered by a giant Tai Chi diagram, with Zhou Yan standing at its core.
This was Zhou Yan's doing, trapping them. This was Zhou Yan's method.
They had no time to react, not even realizing when Zhou Yan had made his move.
They could no longer escape. Seeing the approaching chaotic ocean, they immediately shouted, "Quick, attack that sea!"
"We must block Zhou Yan's attack. This sea is too bizarre. I can't feel any energy, yet I sense immense danger."
"Damn it, what is this thing? Why can't I even move!"
"This is a Tai Chi diagram, an ancient existence, but I've never seen such a powerful one before."
"No, my spiritual artifact-level treasures can't have any effect on this Tai Chi diagram."
"Let's attack that chaotic sea together. Is this really our own attack?"
Unable to move, these people began to strike again, unleashing various powerful attacks towards the chaotic sea.
This sea was formed from their own energy by Zhou Yan. Therefore, by using the same skills again, they should be able to block it.
This was what they believed.
In reality, when their attacks landed on this sea, the results were beyond their expectations.
