Chapter 237: A Gamble
Sun Zhe moved with incredible speed, appearing in front of Feng Yu in an instant, blocking his path.
Seeing the determined expression on Sun Zhe's face, a hint of hesitation flashed in Feng Yu's eyes. He turned to glance at the complex expression of Tang Yuexi, sighed softly, and the Storm Longsword in his hand instantly dissipated. His figure flickered, and he retreated to his original position.
"Today, no one can save you. Go down and accompany my brother!"
Lü Qin's eyes suddenly erupted with terrifying Killing Intent. With a swift motion of her right hand, the towering trees beside her surged forward as if they had taken a stimulant, charging wildly toward Sun Zhe like green giant pythons, entwined with countless vines and branches, filling the entire Void with these green plants.
Under Sun Zhe's insistence, the people from Wings of Wind Continent did not intervene, and the spectators merely watched from the sidelines. Currently, the strength of Wings of Wind Continent was not inferior to theirs. If Lü Qin won, they could take advantage of her victory to capture Tang Yuexi. If Lü Qin lost, they would not need to intervene.
In short, Lü Qin's intense desire for revenge made her a scout for her side, and her battle with Sun Zhe became the key to both sides' confrontation.
The entire area was shrouded by endless plants, and a violent aura enveloped several miles around. The onlookers retreated hundreds of feet away, fearing being caught in the aftermath of the battle between the two. Facing Lü Qin's astonishing offensive, Sun Zhe showed no sign of fear; he continued to hover in the half Void using his domain power.
Suddenly lifting his head, two cold glints shot out from his eyes. He extended his right hand into the void, and a black Long Sword slid into his palm. At the same time, two Feral Beast Souls attached to his arms roared to life, and a terrifying demonic aura immediately spread throughout the area. After flying in circles, the two Beast Souls rushed into Sun Zhe's body, and a set of Silver-Gray Armor quickly formed around him.
Sun Zhe's aura rapidly transformed; a blend of ferocity and charm surged from within him. The intense pain coursing through his body made him let out a low growl. However, as the two Beast Souls fully merged with him, an overwhelming aura began to emanate from Sun Zhe.
These two Beast Souls within the War Clan Totem were both from Ancient ferocious beasts and possessed immense soul power. Although Sun Zhe had not cultivated for long, the enhancement effect on his strength was undeniable. Originally at the early stage of Thunder Lord cultivation, under the boost from the War Clan Totem, his strength surged directly to the mid-stage of Thunder Lord, expanding his domain to about ten feet in radius.
With only about a hundred feet separating Sun Zhe from Lü Qin, as he summoned the two Beast Souls, countless giant tree branches charged toward him. Each branch radiated a dark gleam that clearly indicated their hardness rivaled that of high-quality Fine Iron.
"If this is all you can do, then you might as well go down and accompany your brother!"
A hoarse voice escaped from Sun Zhe's lips as his enchanting eyes sparkled with an eerie light. In a flash, he appeared directly above those vines. With a whirl of his right hand Long Sword, the Void was instantly enveloped by a black curtain as boundless Sword Qi spread throughout the ground.
"Ancient Blade Technique—Slaughter!"
A chilling voice rang out, and the cold Blade slashed toward Lu Qin. This time, Sun Zhe clearly intended to end things quickly; he not only unleashed all his cultivation but also showed no intention of holding back his Divine Ability combat skills. What he wanted was nothing less than a devastating effect!
The Slaughtering Seven Styles, whose origins were unknown, was undoubtedly a mysterious divine skill. With a single slash, the black Sword Qi transformed into a curtain that surged directly toward Lu Qin, while the incoming green vines collapsed into flying ash, disappearing into the ground. However, the black blade curtain showed no signs of weakening.
Lu Qin's expression changed slightly; she hadn't expected Sun Zhe to be much stronger than she had anticipated. Nevertheless, this did not deter her resolve to kill Sun Zhe. Since Sun Zhe had killed her brother, there was no room for negotiation in their battle—either Sun Zhe would die, or she would!
"Die!"
Lu Qin seemed almost mad as her long black hair flew up. The Green Leaf Symbol on her forehead suddenly shone brightly, and the green energy surrounding her expanded instantly. Within several feet around her, this green energy enveloped her completely. With a sweep of her arms, the ancient trees behind her began to crumble, and clusters of green ethereal light rapidly gathered in front of her.
The green ethereal light flickered with a strong Vicissitudes aura, resembling ancient spirits that merged together in an instant. Lu Qin summoned not just thousands but tens of thousands of ancient trees; these green lights fused together and transformed into a massive green beast over several dozen feet tall.
The beast resembled a giant ape but had six arms and was covered in long, sickly green fur. A sharp horn protruded from its head, emanating an indescribable Vicissitudes aura from its body, while its eyes glinted with a fierce brutality.
"The Soul of Ancient Wood... No... This is the Demonic Wood Evil Spirit, summoned by sacrificing thousands of ancient trees' souls..."
Seeing this ferocious six-armed beast, everyone nearby was filled with shock. Even the allies fighting alongside Lu Qin could hardly contain their astonishment. Upon hearing Feng Yu's explanation, Tang Yuexi's hands trembled slightly.
The enormous claws of the Demonic Wood Evil Spirit collided with the Black Blade Curtain without surprise. The explosive sound echoed through the Void as terrifying energy ripples surged outward, as if countless trees had turned into ruins in an instant. After the explosion of energy, the Demonic Wood Evil Spirit only suffered some superficial injuries and roared as it lunged toward Sun Zhe.
Witnessing this bizarre scene, even Sun Zhe couldn't help but twitch his eyelids. No one understood the power of Slaughtering Seven Styles better than him; on that day, even he couldn't withstand its might. Yet this monster endured it as if nothing had happened. Although he didn't understand what kind of creature it was, Sun Zhe knew it was definitely not an ordinary beast.
The Demonic Wood Evil Spirit moved with incredible speed, seemingly crossing space itself, appearing before Sun Zhe in an instant. With no flourish, it swiped at him with a claw. Sun Zhe raised his Long Sword to block it but felt his blood surge uncontrollably; a flush appeared on his face as he was sent flying backward. Seeing this scene, everyone almost confirmed the outcome of the battle.
Just as Sun Zhe was retreating wildly, a look of determination flashed across his face. The Purple Star Point in his Left Eye erupted with unprecedented brilliance; even the Lightning Symbol on his forehead flickered to life. He waved his left hand forward, and the Prison of Thunder instantly enveloped the Demonic Wood Evil Spirit. Having advanced in power, Sun Zhe could barely merge Law power into his Divine Ability now; the Prison of Thunder radiated a faint Thunder Law aura and became more powerful than ever.
But this was not the end. The Long Sword had vanished from his hands as Sun Zhe's hands moved rapidly. One Thunder System Technique after another struck fiercely at the Demonic Wood Evil Spirit—thousands of thunder arrows, Thunder Dragon's Claw, Thunder Shackles... Every Thunder Path Technique he knew was unleashed without reservation as his Thunder Power poured out like a torrent. His complexion grew increasingly pale, yet he showed no hesitation whatsoever.
Countless Thunderous Divine Power struck down, and the Demonic Wood Evil Spirit was immediately enveloped in brilliant purple Thunder Light, its ghostly movements becoming sluggish as if paralyzed.
"This is bad!" Both Zhan and Thunder Abyss, who also practiced Thunder Power, sensed something was wrong first. They both disappeared from their spots and rushed towards Sun Zhe.
Unfortunately, it was too late!
Sun Zhe had already realized during his battle with the Demonic Wood Evil Spirit that its strength was definitely not as simple as Fifth Stage. In other words, he could not possibly be a match for this Demonic Wood Evil Spirit. Moreover, Lü Qin's strength could not have summoned such a formidable monster without cost; otherwise, the Eight Directions World and even the Nine Continents Mainland would have long been dominated by the Green Forest Continent. Sun Zhe speculated that Lü Qin had to concentrate all her mental energy on this Demonic Wood Evil Spirit.
Thus, Sun Zhe did not foolishly think he could kill the Demonic Wood Evil Spirit with his own strength. The possibility of that was too slim; what he wanted was to trap this Demonic Wood Evil Spirit while using Thunder Power to paralyze its movements, allowing him to deal with the source of it all—Lü Qin.
Although Zhan and Thunder Abyss reacted quickly, they were ultimately too far away. In a flash of light and shadow, Sun Zhe crossed over the enormous Demonic Wood Evil Spirit and appeared before Lü Qin, carrying an unmistakable killing intent. The black Blade shattered the defenses in front of Lü Qin and sliced across her neck.
This was a gamble; if he won, he could severely injure or even kill Lü Qin, this powerful enemy. If he lost, he would face a pincer attack from Lü Qin and the monster, pushing himself into danger. The splattering blood vividly told him the result of this gamble!
With deep unwillingness surging in her eyes, Lü Qin's head fell from mid-air. There was no doubt she followed in her brother's footsteps. Sun Zhe guessed correctly; all her mental focus was on the Demonic Wood Evil Spirit, which could rival a Sixth Stage powerhouse. She had no ability to resist Sun Zhe's sudden attack.
In reality, she did not completely fall at the hands of Sun Zhe, but rather due to her own overconfidence. If someone had been able to protect her flanks, Sun Zhe would have had no chance at all. She also underestimated Sun Zhe's reaction ability; she never expected him to notice everything so quickly.
