Zhou Yan's strength had already shocked everyone, but they hadn't expected him to wield a divine artifact as well. This made them a little fearful.
"Lord, do you need help?" Long Que asked.
Zhao Yun and Pei Yuanqing also looked at Zhou Yan. With so many people from the other side activating divine artifacts, their lord was at a disadvantage. However, they weren't worried at all. When it came to numbers, their lord could summon people as he pleased.
"Do you think too little of this Lord? Are these mere strays going to make this Lord take them seriously?" Zhou Yan looked at the people from the Xuanyin Hall with utter disdain.
Long Que nodded. His worries were unnecessary.
Long Que stepped back, quietly watching his lord show off.
Zhou Yan activated the divine artifact, the [Town God Cauldron], and said, "My divine artifact is called the [Pig Slaughtering Cauldron]. It's specifically for butchering pigs like you."
[Town God Cauldron]: I am ^(*￣(oo)￣)^ ???
Long Que and the others couldn't help but laugh. Their lord was still toying with the enemy.
"Kill!"
Everyone from the Xuanyin Hall, led by Tang Ruis.i, released their inner magical power to activate the [Xuanyin Tower].
With the magical power of so many people bolstering him, Tang Ruis.i believed he could completely defeat Zhou Yan. He controlled the [Xuanyin Tower] and unleashed a destructive beam of light from within the pagoda towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan also activated his [Town God Cauldron], releasing a powerful divine light wave and smashing it towards the [Xuanyin Tower] without hesitation.
"Boom!"
A terrifying shockwave erupted in the sky again. This wave was incredibly powerful, and the recoil was horrifying, directly shattering many disciples of the Xuanyin Hall.
Figures fell from the sky one after another. Tang Ruis.i's side had lost a lot of its strength.
"Attack again!" Tang Ruis.i once again condensed the power of the [Xuanyin Tower] and attacked Zhou Yan once more.
"I thought you were so strong. Even with so many people, you still can't do anything to me." Zhou Yan once again channeled the immense spiritual energy within him, making the divine light of the [Town God Cauldron] shine even more brilliantly.
The divine power fluctuation that suppressed everything directly shattered the attack from the [Xuanyin Tower]. With a "clang," it sent the [Xuanyin Tower] flying.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!!!"
This time, even more Xuanyin Hall disciples were backfired. At least a thousand Xuanyin Hall disciples fell from the sky, and the remaining disciples could only struggle desperately.
Everyone's eyes showed fear as they looked at Zhou Yan with infinite dread.
Their enemy was too strong. Alone, and also controlling a divine artifact, he could contend against the magical power released by tens of thousands of their experts. This was absolutely unbelievable.
But the opponent had managed it. Although they couldn't do anything to him for the moment, if this continued, they would likely be destroyed sooner or later.
The ancestor of the Xuanyin Hall clearly sensed that Zhou Yan was too powerful and quickly asked, "Where exactly has our Xuanyin Hall offended you? If possible, we are willing to compensate for your losses."
"Ancestor..."
Tang Ruis.i and the others looked at the ancestor of the Xuanyin Hall. Although they were unwilling, they were completely powerless against the opponent, so this was the only way.
"You said it yourself," Zhou Yan's [Town God Cauldron] above his head scattered profound immortal light, enveloping Zhou Yan like an ancient immortal spirit.
"I said it. State your demands," the Xuanyin Hall ancestor replied.
"It's very simple. I am the kindest person, and I don't ask for much. You should commit suicide," Zhou Yan replied.
"Young friend, why must you go to such extremes? Wouldn't it be better to take a step back and leave room for maneuver?" the Xuanyin Hall ancestor replied.
Upon hearing this, Tang Ruis.i and the others were furious. The opponent had no intention of resolving this peacefully and was determined to settle the matter with their lives.
"I like to take a step forward, and be invincible in the world," Zhou Yan replied domineeringly.
Then, he took a step forward, covering hundreds of meters in a single stride, and quickly approached within a hundred meters of them. He activated the [Town God Cauldron] and attacked them again.
"It seems you truly want to fight us to the death." Even the most patient elder of the Xuanyin Hall would have their temper worn down by Zhou Yan. Their tone was filled with killing intent.
"You're wrong. It's you who will die, and I will be invincible!" Zhou Yan replied with confidence and arrogance.
"Rumble!"
The void collapsed, turning into a vast spatial storm. Endless destructive power emerged from the spatial storm. A powerful spatial turbulence appeared and swept out in all directions.
The remaining half of the Xuanyin Hall's mountain peaks and buildings completely collapsed, annihilated into nothingness by the spatial turbulence. The entire area where the Xuanyin Hall was located became a barren wasteland.
The entire Xuanyin Hall was razed to the ground.
If not for the ancient formations that Zhou Yan had long set up on the outermost perimeter, this powerful spatial fluctuation would have likely expanded several times over.
"So you had already sealed off the entire Xuanyin Hall."
Tang Ruis.i and the others finally understood. This person had come here with the intention of destroying their sect, and there was no room for negotiation.
"It's not too late for you to know. Anyway, none of you will be able to escape." Zhou Yan looked at them and attacked again.
The remaining people were less than half of their original number.
"Clang!"
"Clang!"
...
Zhou Yan attacked again and again. With each attack from the Xuanyin Hall's experts, hundreds of disciples would die from the backlash.
After more than ten exchanges, only a hundred elders and grand elders remained alive. Even Tang Ruis.i's face was pale, clearly indicating his imminent demise.
"Let's fight him to the death!" Tang Ruis.i unleashed all his magical power, gambling the lives of all the Xuanyin Hall's experts in an attempt to perish with Zhou Yan.
"You think you can perish with me like this? What a joke."
"Rumble!"
Zhou Yan sneered and activated the [Town God Cauldron] to protect himself. The powerful attacks landed on the protective light of the [Town God Cauldron], only sending Zhou Yan flying back a few hundred meters.
As the Xuanyin Hall members sacrificed themselves in a suicidal explosion, they still couldn't kill Zhou Yan. The entire Xuanyin Hall was thus turned into dust of history by Zhou Yan's might alone.
"It's over." Zhou Yan summoned the [Xuanyin Tower]. Although this divine artifact was not comparable to the [Town God Cauldron], it was still a divine artifact nonetheless.
After the Xuanyin Hall was wiped out by Zhou Yan, the remaining minor figures were no longer a concern for Zhou Yan.
The nations that had been oppressed by the Xuanyin Hall for countless years must have been eager to eradicate any remaining Xuanyin Hall remnants.
What happened next had nothing to do with Zhou Yan. Everything here was over, and it was time for him to leave.
"Let's go. There's nothing worth our lingering here anymore."
Zhou Yan waved his hand, recalling Zhao Yun, Long Que, and Pei Yuanqing back to his territory.
As for the ten thousand Elite Battalions he had lent to Zhang Hua, they would return to the territory once they had completely stabilized the country of Luoyun.
Zhou Yan's hands glowed, forming ripples. As formation patterns formed, Zhou Yan left this world, leaving behind countless legendary tales of him.
