"Heh, so loud. Aren't you afraid of scaring everyone else?" Zhou Yan sneered, then his figure instantly vanished from his spot, reappearing in front of the group. He swung his fist, powerfully smashing towards one of the youths in the Divine Emperor realm.
Zhou Yan's speed was incredibly fast. Before the group could react, Zhou Yan was already in front of them, his fist mere inches from the youth's chest. Just as his fist was about to connect, the youth's eyes flashed with a blue light. He then swung his own fist, colliding with Zhou Yan's.
"Bang!"
Zhou Yan was repelled several steps by a tremendous force, then steadied himself.
The youth was also pushed back a few steps, his face slightly pale, but he was unharmed.
What's more, a mocking expression appeared on his face.
"What? Do you really think you can defeat me?" the youth sneered.
Zhou Yan glanced at the youth, his eyes narrowing slightly. His body suddenly disappeared from its spot, reappearing behind the youth. He then fiercely punched the youth's back.
"Pfft!"
The youth spat blood, his face instantly turning deathly pale. He was clearly injured.
"How is this possible? This is the law of space! I clearly sealed him just now, how could he escape?" the youth exclaimed in shock.
However, despite his shock, the youth did not forget his duty. He quickly circulated his divine essence, attempting to suppress the injuries within his body.
"Trying to suppress your injuries? Too late!" Zhou Yan sneered. He then fiercely slammed his right fist into the back of the youth's head.
"Boom!"
The back of the youth's head exploded instantly, splattering bright red blood.
Witnessing this, everyone around was stunned.
They couldn't believe that a powerful Divine Emperor realm expert had been instantly killed, and they couldn't even discern any powerful secret techniques Zhou Yan had used. He had eliminated a Divine Emperor so easily!
"Ah, it's him! He's still alive? Could he be the Zhou Yan who killed a Divine Emperor expert in the God-Demon Trial?" someone suddenly shouted.
"It is him, Zhou Yan! That's right!"
"I remember now! It's the Zhou Yan who, with mid-stage Divine Emperor cultivation, could kill late-stage Divine Emperors in the God-Demon Trial!"
"Zhou Yan? I didn't expect this Zhou Yan to still be around. But for him to dare show himself, he's truly courting death!"
The faces of the God Race members turned grim, and they each let out cold snorts.
Their expressions were extremely displeased.
They hadn't expected Zhou Yan to still be alive and dare to appear before them.
"I think we should kill him first, to prevent any future trouble!" a God Race elder said, his eyes filled with a chilling glint. He was clearly a decisive individual who would not tolerate anyone threatening their safety.
After speaking, the elder charged towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan let out a cold snort and also rushed towards the God Race elder, throwing a punch at him.
Their fists and feet met, and they instantly engaged in a fierce exchange.
"Pa pa pa..."
Their attacks continuously collided, erupting in dull thuds. Circles of terrifying airflow raged outwards from the center of their intense battle, like a storm.
"Boom!"
They clashed fiercely once more, both being repelled.
Zhou Yan's face was pale, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. However, his eyes were sharp, staring intently at the God Race elder, filled with killing intent.
They had already exchanged over a hundred blows, and both had suffered some damage. However, the elder had clearly held back, not using his full strength, while Zhou Yan had gone all out, barely managing to maintain a balance and avoid defeat.
Moreover, the God Race elder had also been defending against his attacks, and he too had held back, unwilling to use his true trump cards, which was why he had been at a disadvantage.
"Impressive, to be able to kill a Divine Emperor expert. However, today, you will still die!" The God Race elder glanced at Zhou Yan coldly, then a sacred aura erupted from him.
A ball of golden light bloomed from his body, rapidly condensing into a golden Buddha statue beside him, exuding a powerful pressure.
As soon as the golden Buddha statue appeared, it unleashed a punch towards Zhou Yan.
The punch was at least five to six meters in diameter. As it appeared, it carried a destructive wave.
On the fist of the golden Buddha statue, countless golden lotuses seemed to be blooming, each one emanating an extremely potent aura.
This punch was undoubtedly far more powerful than the youth's previous palm strike.
Zhou Yan's expression immediately turned grave, daring not to show any contempt.
He clenched both his fists, then unleashed a powerful punch. A terrifying fist energy, carrying a heaven-shattering momentum, fiercely collided with the opponent's fist.
"Rumble!"
With a deafening roar, both their bodies were sent flying backward.
Zhou Yan's body smashed through two large rocks, skidding more than ten meters on the ground, leaving a straight track.
The God Race elder, however, crashed directly into a mountain peak, causing half of it to collapse. He became embedded within the mountain, his life or death unknown.
"Hiss..." Seeing this, everyone around couldn't help but gasp, their bodies growing cold as if doused in ice water.
It was too terrifying.
This young man's strength was actually so formidable.
If Zhou Yan hadn't used some special means in that single exchange, his physical body probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
The God Race elder was taken down in one encounter, his fate uncertain. This outcome was far beyond many people's expectations.
However, the God Race members were not overly shocked. They already knew that Zhou Yan was a troublesome opponent.
"Damn it!"
Having gained the upper hand, the God Race elder became enraged. He scrambled to his feet and lunged at Zhou Yan again.
"Boom!"
Another violent collision sound followed. Several more large rocks shattered, turning into powder that rained down. For a time, the entire sky was filled with dust.
"Boom!"
This time, Zhou Yan's body was once again sent flying backward, smashing through a stone tablet. He then spat out a mouthful of blood. His body slammed into the stone wall, creating a deep pit in the rock face, a large hole in the wall, and sending stone fragments flying everywhere.
