Black ripples spread outwards, and as the ripples expanded, the space directly collapsed, transforming into streams of dark spatial turbulence that raged wildly.
Beneath the spatial turbulence, the figures of the black-robed men rapidly disintegrated, finally vanishing into nothingness.
After dealing with those black-robed men, the middle-aged man's form reappeared, a look of pain on his face.
He had clearly suffered a severe backlash.
After Zhou Yan eliminated those black-robed men, the faces of the other black-robed men turned even paler.
Although they were all at the seventh level of the Spiritual Sea realm, they were utterly incapable of resisting such an attack, leaving them at Zhou Yan's mercy.
Seeing the middle-aged man's state, the killing intent in Zhou Yan's eyes intensified.
However, the middle-aged man quickly recovered, his gaze sinister as he spoke to Zhou Yan, "You little bastard, today I will make sure you have nowhere to be buried!"
"Whoosh!"
As his voice echoed, his wrist twitched slightly. His previously bound arm was directly pierced by the tip of the long spear, blood splattering outwards.
On the middle-aged man's arm were holes as thick as a thumb.
Zhou Yan's pupils contracted slightly, as he could clearly sense the terrifying power contained within the man's arm.
"What a tough fellow, I didn't expect you to be quite strong!"
"However, I am very much looking forward to how you plan to make me have nowhere to be buried today!"
Seeing his hand pierced by himself, Zhou Yan said with a smile.
As his voice faded, he beckoned, and the great axe materialized in his hand.
Then, to the middle-aged man's stunned gaze, Zhou Yan unleashed a kick, sending the man flying.
Witnessing Zhou Yan's action, the middle-aged man's mouth hung open, disbelief flashing in his eyes.
"This... how is this possible! How could he possess such abundant primal energy!"
As the middle-aged man was astonished, the black-robed men reappeared before him.
Upon seeing the black-robed men, the middle-aged man hastily brandished his spear and charged towards them.
However, the black-robed men now regarded the middle-aged man with fear and apprehension.
Clearly, they had realized that Zhou Yan's strength was far beyond their ability to contend with.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing this, the middle-aged man showed no mercy, sweeping all the black-robed men away with a single thrust of his spear.
"Hoo hoo~"
Watching the black-robed men being repelled, the middle-aged man let out a sigh of relief and then turned to leave.
However, the moment the middle-aged man's figure flickered away, his face contorted violently, indicating he had suffered some severe injury.
"Pfft!"
Blood spurted from his mouth.
Not only that, but a crack also appeared on his chest.
"Damn it!"
"What kind of evil art did that fellow use? Even I couldn't stop it!"
Feeling a burning sensation from his chest, the middle-aged man's face was filled with shock and anger as he cursed in a low voice.
As his words fell, his face flushed with intense fury.
He truly couldn't believe that Zhou Yan, merely at the fifth level of the Innate realm, could unleash such terrifying combat power.
This combat power was comparable to that of a peak eighth-level Spiritual Sea realm expert!
However, feeling the burning sensation in his chest, how could he not be enraged?
As the burning sensation spread, the middle-aged man's face contorted.
"Damn little beast, if not for your myriad tricks, how could I have been injured?"
"No matter what secrets you possess, I will not let you go!"
The middle-aged man let out a cold snort, then took a step forward, vanishing from his spot.
After the middle-aged man disappeared, a sarcastic curve appeared on Zhou Yan's lips: "Since that's the case, then I shall capture you!"
As he spoke, a spear as dark as ink materialized in Zhou Yan's hand.
Zhou Yan gripped the spear tightly, and the dark spear instantly emitted a dazzling black light, then, carrying terrifying pressure, shot towards the middle-aged man.
Sensing the terrifying fluctuations emanating from the dark spear, the middle-aged man's expression changed drastically.
He never imagined that Zhou Yan possessed such a formidable weapon!
"Boom!"
However, as the middle-aged man's expression shifted, the space around him suddenly vibrated.
The next instant, a colossal being emerged from the void.
It was a massive beastly body, covered in golden scales, appearing extremely ferocious and imposing, like an ancient divine dragon.
"Huh? What is that?"
Zhou Yan frowned as he observed the colossal beastly body, clearly surprised by its appearance.
"Roar~"
As Zhou Yan was sizing up the colossal beastly body, it let out a roar towards the heavens, then extended its claws and fiercely slammed them onto the void where Zhou Yan stood.
"Bang!"
With a dull thud, Zhou Yan was sent flying by the giant beast claws, spitting out a mouthful of blood and staggering uncontrollably.
"Damn it!"
Seeing himself sent flying by the beast claws, Zhou Yan's face turned grim.
However, the giant beast claws did not seem inclined to stop. It swung again, and immense gusts of wind surged from the great claw, hurtling towards Zhou Yan.
Facing the ferocious giant claw imprint, Zhou Yan's expression changed drastically. He gritted his teeth and poured his primal energy into the great spear.
"Whoosh!"
The next instant, the dark great sword was loosed from his hand, transforming into a black streak that shot directly towards the giant claw imprint.
"Bang bang bang!"
The moment the great sword collided with the claw imprint, they exploded against each other, emitting terrifying roars.
However, the roaring did not last long before it abruptly ceased.
"Bang!"
After the dark great sword exploded, the giant beast claw became a blur and swept towards Zhou Yan once more.
Seeing the dark claw imprint strike again, Zhou Yan dared not delay. He clasped his hands together, and instantly, a vast suction force erupted from Zhou Yan's palms.
As this devouring force spread, Zhou Yan's face turned slightly flushed, clearly indicating that he had expended a significant amount of energy this time.
