After several days and nights of relentless pursuit, not only had the Brown-Horned Pegasus reached the brink of collapse, but Sun Zhe was also on the verge of exhaustion. Although he could replenish his spiritual energy with pills, the mental fatigue was beyond recovery. If it weren't for his willpower that far exceeded that of ordinary people, he would have given up on the chase long ago.
Meanwhile, Han Xinrao, who was being pursued by Sun Zhe, was nearly on the brink of collapse herself. She not only had to bear immense mental pressure, but her physical exhaustion was constantly eroding her spirit. After all, she was a woman and could not compare to Sun Zhe in terms of stamina. If it weren't for the extreme crisis of Desperation that had greatly stimulated her potential, she wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
Looking down at the lifeless Brown-Horned Pegasus, a hint of sorrow flashed in Han Xinrao's tired eyes. She never expected that she would ultimately fail to escape this calamity. Glancing back at the cold-faced man, she finally gave up on the idea of surrendering to him because she didn't even believe that she wouldn't seek revenge after surviving this ordeal.
Stepping onto the Mysterious Steps, she continued to flee, while four illusory figures transformed and emerged. Sun Zhe closely followed behind Han Xinrao. He had already mastered the Ninefold Shadow technique to a significant degree; at its peak, he could manifest seven figures, but in his current state, four figures were already his maximum limit.
Both their spiritual energy and mental states were nearly depleted. Now it came down to their willpower—or rather, the willpower of one person and one beast—whoever gave up first would be deemed the loser.
"Master Brother is indeed impressive; even that Second-Stage Monster Beast couldn't withstand Master Brother's sword..."
"Yes, yes! Master Brother is a direct disciple of the Sect Leader and is destined to inherit the responsibilities of the Sect. Naturally, we cannot compare..."
"Hehe, you two junior brothers are too polite. Both of you have extraordinary Qualification and will surely become key figures in our Yang Lei Sect in the future..."
A lively conversation echoed from another part of the forest, followed by the appearance of three men before Sun Zhe and Han Xinrao.
Upon seeing these three unexpected figures, a look of uncontainable surprise flashed in Han Xinrao's eyes. Her previously listless spirit instantly revived as she called out in a delicate voice,
"Song Shixiong, quickly help your junior sister kill this person..."
Sun Zhe's expression changed drastically; these suddenly appearing three were none other than three disciples from Yang Lei Sect, one of whom was none other than Song Gang, whom he had marked as a dangerous individual.
Sun Zhe was forced to include the six individuals deemed dangerous, among them Chu Qiao from Shen San Zong. Setting aside the others, just Zheng Er and Han Xinrao were extraordinary. If it weren't for Sun Zhe's sneak attack on Zheng Er from the Beast Taming Sect, it would be hard to determine who would win in a real fight between the two. Han Xinrao was also extremely difficult to deal with; although her cultivation was slightly inferior to Sun Zhe's, she possessed numerous techniques and treasures. The fact that Sun Zhe had been pursuing her for so long without success indicated her strength. Moreover, this was due to Sun Zhe's Thunder Body countering her most proficient charm techniques; otherwise, it was uncertain who was stronger.
The Yang Lei Sect and Yin Lei Sect had always maintained a good relationship, and their disciples interacted closely. Now that they saw Sun Zhe pursuing Han Xinrao, how could they possibly ignore it?
Among these three, aside from the most dangerous Song Gang, the other two were clearly elites of the Yang Lei Sect, having also entered the Thunder Master Realm. Although they had just recently entered, their combined strength was not something Sun Zhe could contend with at present. Furthermore, there was also the formidable Song Gang eyeing them intently. Faced with these three, Sun Zhe had no chance of victory.
Reluctantly glancing at Han Xinrao rushing towards the trio, Sun Zhe did not expect to ultimately fall short. However, being a decisive person, he recognized that further action was futile and without hesitation turned to flee into the forest. In the blink of an eye, he vanished into the woods.
Whether it was due to the distance or Han Xinrao's abrupt words, none of Song Gang's group pursued Sun Zhe, inadvertently giving him a chance to escape.
"Junior Sister, what happened?" Rushing to Han Xinrao's side and seeing her in a state of utter disarray, the three were puzzled as to how the usually enchanting beauty could end up like this. Yet there was no hint of mockery in their expressions; instead, they were filled with concern, especially Song Gang, who had always been infatuated with Han Xinrao and wore an expression of anger.
"It’s all because of him... cough..." Han Xinrao's face was pale, but her eyes burned with resentment. She pointed with her right hand only to realize that Sun Zhe had vanished without a trace. Overcome by rage and frustration, she involuntarily spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.
After Song Gang comforted her for quite some time, Han Xinrao gradually regained her composure. As she slowly recounted what had happened, Song Gang and his companions finally understood the situation.
"Brother must avenge Xinrao..." Looking at Song Gang with a pitiful expression, Han Xinrao’s earlier disarray had completely faded away, revealing an even more striking allure.
With a loud slap against a nearby tree trunk, Song Gang’s powerful strike left a massive handprint on the hard wood. His eyes blazed with fury; he hadn’t expected Sun Zhe to be so audacious as to disregard Yin Lei Sect and even dare to pursue a woman he admired.
"Based on Junior Sister’s account, it seems that Sun Zhe is not an easy opponent; he even managed to kill Zheng Er. The three brothers from Beast Taming Sect are no weaklings either..." One of Song Gang's companions spoke gravely.
"Hmph! Just a cowardly sneak attack! If I encounter him, I will definitely take his life within three moves!" Song Gang's eyes gleamed coldly as murderous intent surged forth; he spoke disdainfully.
"We will search for the past, and if we encounter him, then so be it. If we can't find him, we'll take our anger out on those from the Xuan Lei Sect and Beast Taming Sect!" Once these words were spoken, the other two showed no signs of refusal. Together with Han Xinrao, the four Thunder Master Level experts would undoubtedly sweep through this region.
From that day on, the four truly began their rampage. Although they did not find Sun Zhe, they encountered many disciples from other sects, all of whom fell into their hands without exception. Particularly against the disciples of the Xuan Lei Sect and Beast Taming Sect, they showed no mercy, almost killing one upon encountering them. The Storage Scrolls of these individuals also ended up in the four's possession.
The Beast Taming Sect and Yin-Yang Sect had always been at odds. When the four took action, the members of the Beast Taming Sect did not hesitate to pursue the disciples of the Yin Yang Two Sects. Moreover, the people from the Beast Taming Sect somehow learned that Zheng Er had died at Sun Zhe's hands. The furious brothers Zheng Da and Zheng San searched everywhere for Sun Zhe, and other disciples from the Xuan Lei Sect were also affected.
Meanwhile, Aohumen and Crimson Thunder Hall were not idle either. Among the Six Sects, aside from the usually friendly Yin Yang Two Sects and the newly allied Aohumen and Crimson Thunder Hall, there were numerous conflicts among almost all others. Coupled with the temptation of spiritual herbs and treasures, a chaotic battle broke out in the first layer of the secret realm almost immediately upon encountering members from other sects.
Everything seemed to be happening under the push of unseen hands; a massive reshuffling was underway. The fighting continued for seven or eight days. Few of the sixty people who entered the first layer died at the hands of beasts, but nearly half perished in this great reshuffle. However, those who remained were all true elites.
In a hidden cave, Sun Zhe sat cross-legged while those outside frantically searched for him without realizing he was hiding here.
He understood that since he had not killed Han Xinrao, news of his killing Zheng Er would surely be leaked by Han Xinrao. If he went out now, he would face not just Han Xinrao alone but also experts from both Yin Yang Two Sects and Beast Taming Sect. Furthermore, Aohumen and Crimson Thunder Hall were not particularly friendly towards him either. With Zhou Hanbin also marked for death by him, enemies surrounded him on all sides.
With a wave of his right hand, dozens of bottles appeared before Sun Zhe. Many had died at his hands in recent days, and their Storage Scrolls naturally fell into his possession. Altogether, he had accumulated quite a number of elixirs and herbs to enhance his cultivation. What Sun Zhe needed to do now was to focus entirely on improving his strength; as long as his own power was formidable enough, he would not fear any number of enemies.
What he did not know was that because of him, a frenzy of slaughter had already begun in the first layer of the Northern Mang Secret Realm.
