"Ah... you dare injure me?"
The other disciples of the Vulcan Sect roared in anger.
However, before their shouts could even fall, Zhou Yan unleashed a series of palm strikes, brutally landing on the remaining Vulcan Sect disciples.
With crisp sounds echoing, those Vulcan Sect disciples were torn asunder by Zhou Yan's palms. He then extracted the spiritual herbs from within their bodies.
"Damn it!"
Witnessing Zhou Yan kill three of them with a single, seemingly effortless palm strike, the remaining Vulcan Sect disciples' eyes twitched uncontrollably.
They could not believe that Zhou Yan's strength was so formidable, that even they, peak Condensing Soul Realm cultivators, could not withstand his attacks!
"What kind of monstrous talent is this guy? Where did he come from?"
These Vulcan Sect disciples stared at Zhou Yan with abject terror, gasping for air.
Under their horrified gazes, Zhou Yan slowly raised his head.
Looking at the Vulcan Sect disciples before him, a chilling curve formed on his lips.
In the next instant, a cold smile appeared on Zhou Yan's lips.
"I told you, everyone from your Vulcan Sect will die today!"
Hearing Zhou Yan's chilling words, the many Vulcan Sect disciples felt a shiver run down their spines, their hearts trembling uncontrollably.
"Little beast, since you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, then I shall grant your wish!"
A middle-aged man's eyes darkened as he stared at Zhou Yan and bellowed.
"Whoosh!"
As his voice faded, the man led the remaining Vulcan Sect disciples in a furious charge, intending to surround Zhou Yan.
Behind them, Zhou Yan's gaze fell upon the fleeing Vulcan Sect disciples, his eyes filled with a cold light.
"Since you seek death, then do not blame me."
"Incinerating Flame!"
As his low voice fell, Zhou Yan's brows furrowed. He then formed seals with his palms, and the flames transformed into a colossal phoenix phantom. It spread its fiery wings and swept outwards.
"Screech screech screech!"
Under the immense phoenix phantom, the Vulcan Sect disciples were completely engulfed.
"Ah~~~~"
Screams echoed in the air as the Vulcan Sect disciples were burned to ashes by the Incinerating Flame.
"Hoo~"
Zhou Yan let out a sigh of relief, his face slightly pale.
Although he had unleashed the Nine Flames of World Burning, he was not entirely without strain. Thus, he felt somewhat exhausted.
"Not good, Zhou Yan's strength seems to be almost depleted."
"Bad, does this brat intend to turn the tables?"
Seeing this, the faces of the Vulcan Sect disciples turned ashen. They then launched fierce attacks towards Zhou Yan.
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh..."
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The Vulcan Sect disciples moved with extreme speed, each strike carrying world-destroying power, forcing Zhou Yan to be on guard.
However, Zhou Yan perfectly evaded these attacks.
"Rumble!"
In the next moment, the Vulcan Sect disciples' attacks landed in the distance, blasting deep fissures into the ground. Dust and smoke billowed, obscuring their figures.
Zhou Yan stood in place, a bitter smile on his face.
Although he now possessed strength comparable to the early Condensing Soul Realm, he was still too weak compared to the peak Condensing Soul Realm disciples.
If only he could break through to the mid-Condensing Soul Realm, his overall strength would increase significantly.
After all, the difference between the Spirit Vein Realm and the Spirit Core Realm was immense!
"Zhou Yan, I never expected your strength to be so terrifying. Do you truly intend to oppose our Vulcan Sect?"
As Zhou Yan was lost in thought, the man's voice echoed again.
"Heh heh." Zhou Yan chuckled and said, "Oppose? Are you worthy? I only know that you lot are scum, unworthy of living in this world."
"Little beast, it seems you are overly confident, unaware of the strength of our Vulcan Sect disciples!"
Hearing Zhou Yan's mocking words, a cold gleam surged in the man's eyes as he smiled menacingly.
"Oh? Is that so? Then I shall see just how strong you are!"
As his words fell, Zhou Yan suddenly unleashed an astonishing wave of power.
"Tear!"
The moment Zhou Yan erupted with this surge of power, the surrounding Vulcan Sect disciples immediately sensed it. They all looked at Zhou Yan with astonishment, their eyes narrowing.
"This guy... how did he break through so quickly?"
"I remember, he only reached the late Condensing Soul Realm, right?"
"Unbelievable, could it be that he took a Spirit Pill?"
One of the Vulcan Sect disciples asked with uncertainty.
"No matter what treasure he consumed, we have the absolute advantage in numbers now. Even with any powerful treasure, he cannot escape our grasp!"
"Kill!"
While the Vulcan Sect disciples were murmuring, the man was the first to launch an assault on Zhou Yan.
Fiery pillars, imbued with scorching heat, shot out from the man's sleeves, streaking towards Zhou Yan like meteors.
Behind these fiery pillars, the man watched Zhou Yan with a cold smile.
"Eight Forms of World Burning!"
"Swish swish!"
Under Zhou Yan's low roar, the flying fire pillars transformed into hundreds of fire dragons. Under Zhou Yan's control, they charged towards the Vulcan Sect disciples.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Pfft..."
Instantly, wherever the fire dragons passed, shocking bloody marks were left behind. The Vulcan Sect disciples sustained terrible wounds, blood spraying out.
"Damn it!"
Sensing the power of Zhou Yan's move, the Vulcan Sect disciples' faces changed drastically.
Because they could clearly feel that their injuries were becoming more severe.
Some disciples were already emitting a charred smell!
"Zhou Yan, you bastard!"
A Vulcan Sect disciple glared at Zhou Yan, his face contorted with rage, gritting his teeth.
He never imagined that Zhou Yan possessed such formidable combat power.
"Doesn't your Vulcan Sect boast of having the most top-tier cultivation resources? Why then do you only hide in the shadows and resort to trickery and sneak attacks?"
"Your Vulcan Sect disciples are truly disappointing!"
Zhou Yan shook his head and said.
Hearing this, the man's face instantly turned dark.
However, as their injuries worsened, Zhou Yan sensed something was amiss and immediately lunged towards the man.
