Chapter 228: The Power of Battle
At the moment when the three warriors charged forward, Sun Zhe and his companions transformed into shadows to meet them. Naturally, the first clash occurred between Sun Zhe and the two from the opposing side, as they were the fastest among both groups. In an instant, two flashes of light collided, and the violent Thunder Power erupted, sending both of them hurtling into the half-Void.
At this time, Zheng Bin also exerted himself fiercely. In fact, his strength was comparable to Xi Men Zhuo, making him one of the top young powerhouses in Thunder Continent. Now that he was going all out, his power exceeded normal levels. The Thunder Power surged forth entirely, and the long sword in his hand seemed to transform into countless blades, with a purple sword curtain sweeping toward Thunder Abyss.
Simultaneously, Sun Zhe's ambush with the Yin Huai Iron Corpse revealed itself. The fist, as large as a bowl and enveloped in thick dark energy, struck unhesitatingly at Thunder Abyss's back. As the punch came crashing down, even the surrounding space twisted under its force, causing Thunder Abyss's clothing to flutter ominously as an overwhelming punch pressed down upon him.
However, Thunder Abyss was no ordinary talent; possessing the Thunder God Bloodline granted him reflexes far superior to those of typical warriors at his level. Sensing the dual assault from Zheng Bin and Yin Huai Iron Corpse, he vanished in an instant as if teleporting out of their attack range.
Given Thunder Abyss's current cultivation level, it was impossible for him to have mastered teleportation techniques. This maneuver was actually one of the renowned techniques from the Thunder Path Technique: the Lightning Release Technique, a powerful evasion method on par with the Earth Escape Technique.
Thunder Abyss was not one to merely defend without counterattacking. Although Yin Huai Iron Corpse's appearance was unexpected, it did not shock him too much. With different levels of strength came different perspectives; to him, Yin Huai Iron Corpse was merely a sluggish dead thing. With a hand gesture, he summoned an enormous thunder blade that gleamed brightly and slashed down at both the person and the corpse with a ferocious aura that suppressed their momentum completely.
Meanwhile, a powerful warrior from Flame Continent engaged Liu Mei and Tang Yuexi in battle. Of course, Jingjing was also involved and proved to be an indispensable force.
Tang Yuexi was currently only a late-stage Third-Level Cultivator, equivalent to a late-stage Thunder Sovereign in Thunder Continent. While she might be considered decent among her peers, it was clearly inadequate given her status as a princess from Wings of Wind Continent. The so-called elixirs were mere snacks for her; top-tier cultivation manuals were no more than ordinary books. Her relatively low cultivation level was partly due to her physical condition.
However, these reasons held no significance in the current battle situation. Her late-stage Third-Level cultivation had no effect against this Flame Continent warrior; she could only occasionally unleash some remarkable Divine Abilities to disrupt her opponent while Liu Mei and Jingjing remained the true fighting forces.
Liu Mei was a peak Fourth-Level Cultivator and had mastered several extraordinary Divine Abilities, making her quite formidable among her peers. Jingjing was equally impressive; although Sun Zhe had yet to fully understand its origins, he had no doubts about its capabilities. It was a true Monster that could grow stronger simply by eating and sleeping. After consuming an unknown Spiritual Artifact last time, its fur turned pink and its growth rate significantly increased. Although it had never cultivated before, it had reached the pinnacle of Fourth-Stage Demon Beast.
Liu Mei wielded her green long sword continuously, unleashing gray wind blades that shot forth toward the Flame Continent warrior. Jingjing wasn't slow either; it opened its mouth and exhaled a pink mist that expanded into a terrifying whirlwind rushing forward while its wings fanned out countless dazzling lights toward its opponent.
Yet among everyone present, the fiercest battle raged above between Sun Zhe and his opponent.
Perhaps both sought to end the fight quickly; thus they unleashed powerful Divine Abilities right away. They had already clashed on the plains earlier and had roughly gauged each other's strengths. For this reason, neither showed any signs of hesitation or testing each other’s abilities.
Sun Zhe tightly gripped the Black Long Knife in his right hand, while seven brilliant Star Points rapidly swirled within his Left Eye. Under the operation of his technique, the violent Thunder Power surged through his right arm and into the Long Sword, causing a long and fierce Sword Aura to surge along the blade, resembling sharp purple spikes that flickered with terrifying ferocity and sharpness.
As he watched the approaching battle, a murderous intent flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes. He darted forward, and several illusory figures appeared in the Void, each wielding a Long Sword that struck forward without exception. The intense Sword Aura sliced through the air, shattering space-time as it fiercely cleaved toward the opponent.
In truth, Sun Zhe was not worried about whether he could endure a prolonged fight; he was primarily concerned that the other three could withstand the attacks from Thunder Abyss and that powerful figure from Flame Continent. Therefore, he had to quickly repel the opponent to have any chance of victory, but the opponent was not so easy to deal with.
Seeing Sun Zhe's offensive approach, the opponent showed no intention of dodging. The Thunder Power surged into his right hand, causing the Thunderlight Greatsword to burst forth with dazzling purple light. At that moment, a Lightning Symbol emerged on his Forehead, and a faint Law aura radiated from the Thunderlight Greatsword.
Though this aura was subtle, it significantly enhanced the sword's might. This was the power of applying Law into spiritual energy. Given Sun Zhe's current understanding of Law, he could not achieve this level; it was evident that the opponent's comprehension of Law surpassed Sun Zhe by at least two levels.
However, every skill has its strengths and weaknesses; Sun Zhe's mastery of Sword Technique was something the opponent could hardly match.
In half Void, the intense Sword Aura clashed with the Thunderlight Greatsword. Both combatants unleashed their full power; although neither used Divine Techniques, their Martial Arts were far more powerful than ordinary Divine Techniques.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom..."
The violent energy erupted in half Void, creating massive purple waves in the surrounding space. Both Sun Zhe and the opponent stood within this energy wave range and were inevitably affected. Their bodies trembled slightly, yet neither took a step back nor changed their expressions; they endured the impact of this energy.
Without any change in expression, both figures charged forward again, disregarding even the residual waves of violent energy crashing against them. In their eyes at that moment, there was only each other. The black Long Sword collided once more with the purple greatsword, and terrifying energy exploded at their point of contact.
However, this time it was the opponent who retreated a step!
After all, Sun Zhe wielded a fragment of a Divine Blade; although its power did not match that of the original Divine Blade from before, it was certainly not something an ordinary weapon could rival. The Thunderlight Greatsword formed from Thunder Power could not compete with this Long Sword either. While their cultivation levels were similar, there was a significant difference in their weapons. Upon collision, not only did the Thunderlight Greatsword shatter, but the opponent also stumbled back several steps.
Seizing this opportunity to strike while his opponent was down, Sun Zhe would not let such a chance slip away. Before his body had even stabilized, he charged toward his opponent again with overwhelming battle intent. Every exquisite Sword Technique he executed aimed fiercely at various parts of his opponent’s body, enveloping him in intense Sword Aura.
With a horizontal sweep of his blade, Sun Zhe's Sword Aura slashed across. The opponent instinctively dodged to the left; however, Sun Zhe's right hand executed an unexpected twist. The Long Sword that had initially maintained its momentum suddenly slashed down at an odd angle. The violent Sword Aura directly swept across the opponent's right chest, causing bright red blood to bloom like dazzling flowers.
“Sun Zhe!!!”
Anger flashed in his eyes as he roared loudly. He had never experienced such humiliation before, and after achieving success in Cultivation, he had rarely suffered such harm. Sun Zhe’s strike undoubtedly provoked him to the limit.
Like lightning, he swiftly retreated, creating a distance of three zhang as Sun Zhe swung his blade down. His killing intent surged, completely disregarding the injury on his right chest. With his left hand, he slapped the back of the sword sheath, and a joyful sword chant echoed in the air. The Bronze Giant Sword, which had never been unsheathed, finally flew out and hovered quietly in front of him.
The sword was over eight feet long, with an extremely wide blade, radiating a faint yellow glow as it floated before him. Surrounding the blade was a layer of light Cyclone, and two large characters were carved in seal script at the center of the giant sword:
Giant Kun
A glint of sharpness flashed in Sun Zhe’s eyes. The momentum he had prepared to advance was abruptly halted as he fixed his gaze on the yellow long sword hovering in front of him. His expression gradually grew serious. The legendary sword was named Giant Kun. Sun Zhe understood that this long sword was likely a Divine Weapon that could rival his own Long Sword, and it might even surpass it by a third, considering that his own Divine Blade was incomplete.
“I wasn’t planning to kill you, but I’ve changed my mind. You must die today!”
Gripping the hilt of the giant sword with his right hand, he suddenly raised his head. A terrifying light flashed in his black eyes as he locked eyes with Sun Zhe, speaking each word deliberately.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure appeared before Sun Zhe in an instant. Before Sun Zhe could react, the giant sword in his hand slashed down directly. A half-Void yellow light flashed by, and even the solid space was split open by this strike, creating a black spatial rift. However, the terrifying Sword Aura did not diminish at all; it cut through the void and directly appeared before Sun Zhe!
