Chapter 220 The Opponent Finally Appears
"Hmph, what do you think we are? Your family's pets? Go back and tell your master that even if he wants to see Tang Yuexi, he should come personally to request it. Only then will we consider whether to meet him!"
At the moment Sun Zhe recalled this, Liu Mei also remembered the man she saw on the boat. Although she understood that the man's identity was not ordinary, she still did not care at all. Her personality was as strong as Yan Ruoyun's; she was inherently assertive and showed no courtesy even to Captain Sun Zhe. Now, when it came to defending Tang Yuexi, her attitude was even more evident.
The Black Armored Iron Cavalry held a high status in Zhao Country, and as a royal personal guard, the position of this Black Armored Iron Cavalry's Hundred-Man Commander was no less than that of a regular general. Wherever he went, he commanded respect and authority. To him, Tang Yuexi was merely a commoner. His polite invitation was already a significant concession, but he never expected to be met with such insults.
At this moment, even someone with great cultivation could not help but feel a surge of anger. Moreover, he was just a rough soldier who led troops into battle. Gripping the reins tightly with his right hand, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
"Someone, capture that woman!"
Pointing his whip towards Liu Mei, the Hundred-Man Commander spoke coldly. Although he could not harm Sister Tang in any way due to his master's orders, he had no such concerns about others.
"Yes!"
Several cavalrymen behind him immediately responded loudly. As soon as the command was given, five of them dismounted simultaneously with astonishingly synchronized movements. They truly lived up to their reputation as elite Black Armored Iron Cavalry. Looking at Liu Mei ahead, a fierce expression flashed across their faces as they drew their sabers from their waists.
Sun Zhe frowned slightly; these people were too oblivious to the situation. He nodded slightly, causing the two Loose Cultivators in front of Liu Mei to laugh.
Since arriving at the Nine Continents Mainland, they had been rushing along and had not engaged in combat for an entire month. Although their strength was far inferior to monsters like Sun Zhe and Li Zhen, dealing with these cavalrymen was not a problem for them. With Lei Xiu at the seventh level, they were all mid-level fourth-tier experts.
After arriving at the Nine Continents Mainland, many powerful individuals from various continents had descended there. Naturally, there were also some local experts on the Nine Continents Mainland. The names of cultivator realms varied across continents, but their power levels were equivalent; thus, they were uniformly classified into seven levels. For instance, Sun Zhe had already reached Thunder Lord Pinnacle and was naturally regarded as a peak fourth-tier cultivator in everyone's eyes.
"I want three; you can have two," one person on the left said with a smile. Although these Black Armored Cavalry were elite soldiers, they had not practiced orthodox techniques and could only be considered second-tier cultivators based on their strength; thus, they did not catch their attention.
"No way! Why is it that I want three and you only get two?" another person immediately protested.
"What are you babbling about? None of these lackeys are getting away today! If you let one escape, you'll regret it!" Liu Mei glared fiercely and coldly scolded.
Her icy words reached the ears of the two men, causing them to involuntarily shudder slightly. They had suffered quite a bit while following Liu Mei along this journey and were now extremely fearful of this female demoness. Her words held more weight for them than those of Sun Zhe himself. Their gazes immediately turned towards the five cavalrymen.
Without uttering a single word, their figures vanished from sight in an instant and reappeared before the five Black Armored Cavalrymen in the blink of an eye. One person on the left struck directly at one cavalryman's neck with his palm while his right leg transformed into a shadow that slammed into another's chest. Meanwhile, the right-side Loose Cultivator moved swiftly in front of two others and landed two heavy punches on their chests before they could react.
The scene froze momentarily; the five previously arrogant elite cavalrymen suddenly cried out in pain simultaneously and were sent flying backward in an instant, losing all combat capability within moments. Although these two Loose Cultivators did not use any spiritual power, their physical strength honed over years of spiritual cleansing far surpassed what these cavalrymen could withstand.
Sun Zhe and his ten companions stood quietly without any signs of surprise; however, for those Black Armored Iron Cavalrymen, it was somewhat hard to believe. This squad of Black Armored Iron Cavalry had become royal guards precisely because each member was an outstanding survivor from battlefields. The five who had acted were among their elite ranks. Yet unexpectedly, just sending out two people from the opposing side had resolved their five members effortlessly—and those two seemed not even to have used their true strength! What kind of power was this?
"You... what kind of people are you?"
As if sensing the astonishing aura emanating from the two Loose Cultivators, the horses beneath the cavalry became restless, and the originally orderly formation showed signs of chaos. The Hundred-Man Commander tightly gripped the reins of his horse, his face darkening as he shouted at everyone.
"You will find out what we are soon enough!"
With a cold smile, the weapons that had been sheathed reappeared in the hands of the two, their chilling blades gleaming with a blinding light. They continued to advance toward the crowd, and with their strength, they could easily handle the hundred cavalrymen.
"Fall back! Everyone, be on guard!"
At that moment, Sun Zhe's expression suddenly changed. The Thunder Power within him surged violently, releasing an overwhelming aura that shot up into the sky. He instantly appeared in front of Tang Yuexi, grabbing her with his right hand and firmly shielding her behind him.
Hearing Sun Zhe's command, although those around them did not sense anything unusual, they still executed the order meticulously. Six disciples from Thunder Temple's Left Hall simultaneously drew identical black Iron Spears and positioned themselves around Tang Yuexi in six directions, clearly forming a formation.
The two who had initially intended to pursue the hundred cavalrymen immediately retreated. All the Loose Cultivators revealed their weapons; though varied and peculiar, each weapon exuded a formidable aura. More than ten individuals took their positions, all wearing serious expressions as they scanned their surroundings.
Liu Mei and Li Zhen, whose strength was second only to Sun Zhe's, furrowed their brows slightly. It would have been fine if ordinary members had not noticed anything, but the fact that they too were oblivious was somewhat strange. However, neither of them showed any signs of concern and cautiously drew their own weapons.
Tang Yuexi's delicate wrist was once again held by the same hand. Her pretty face turned crimson as she struggled to break free twice but found Sun Zhe's grip as unyielding as steel. Seeing Sun Zhe's serious expression made her heart tremble involuntarily, as if a string in her heart had been plucked, causing her to momentarily forget to resist.
"Are you all still unwilling to reveal yourselves?"
A faint voice escaped from Sun Zhe's lips, yet it strangely resonated outward in all directions. The sound grew louder as it spread further away, like thunder rumbling through the air, gradually diminishing only after reaching a distance of a hundred feet. The hundred Black Armored Iron Cavalry nearby were struck by this thunderous sound wave; all their faces turned pale.
The thunderous sound wave was an application learned by Sun Zhe from the Three Thousand Thunder Techniques. While it wasn't classified as a Divine Technique, it allowed him to clearly sense hidden powerful beings around him and proved to be quite a practical method.
"My lord, what should we do?"
At this moment, even these cavalrymen understood that Sun Zhe and his group were extraordinary. At the very least, they realized that even Zhao Kingdom's most elite imperial guards likely possessed no greater strength than this. How could such individuals possibly be commoners?
"This..."
The Hundred-Man Commander couldn't help but show a troubled expression. He had made solemn promises to his superior before leaving; how could he return empty-handed? But seeing the terrifying aura radiating from the opponents made him realize that he and his men would likely be unable to seize that woman.
"Thunder Continent Sixth Star Luo Sun Zhe is indeed remarkable; I underestimated the strength of Thunder Continent..."
Just as everyone was at a loss for what to do, a sharp voice suddenly rang in their ears. Immediately afterward, the grass covering the plain began to stir; trees behind them swayed as well. In an instant, it seemed as if all the surrounding flora had come to life and were growing wildly in an eerie manner.
"Green Forest Continent... This is the stronghold of Green Forest Continent!"
As if recalling something, Liu Mei's expression suddenly changed dramatically, and she immediately shouted in panic.
"Hehe... Not bad, I am Lv Lin from Green Forest Continent, greetings to all friends from Thunder Continent..." A sharp voice echoed again, and in the blink of an eye, the green grass on the plain solidified into a young man dressed in a green long robe. He had a slender figure that looked frail, but the piercing coldness flickered in his narrow eyes, and a wicked charm danced at the corners of his mouth.
With his appearance, the surrounding trees and plants began to stir, and figures of young men and women emerged around everyone. Each one exuded an aura identical to that of Lv Lin, clearly strong individuals from Green Forest Continent.
"I, Fire Kun, have arrived!"
A rough roar sounded from the edge, followed by the appearance of a giant made of flames before everyone. Standing over eight feet tall, he resembled a savage giant bear, holding two men aloft—clearly Heiqi, the two sent by Sun Zhe to scout ahead, now seemingly unaware of their fate.
At the moment he appeared, fiery figures also emerged around Sun Zhe's group, each pair of eyes glowing with a haunting red light.
"Strong individuals from Flame Continent..."
This time, no one needed to explain; everyone understood the origins of their opponents. They never expected that the strong from Green Forest Continent and Flame Continent would come together!
