Chapter 255: The Hand from the Void (Part Three)
As soon as Sun Zhe spoke, everyone was shaken. Even those from Thunder Continent, including Li Zhen and his group, showed complex expressions. Sun Zhe's words undoubtedly indicated his stance; he had transformed from a person of Thunder Continent to one of Qin State, and his posture was incredibly firm as he decisively defended the interests of Qin State.
At this moment, no one would question the reasons behind this situation; they only cared about one fact: Sun Zhe no longer belonged to their Eight Directions World!
"Sun Zhe, whether you are from Thunder Continent or Qin State, today you cannot escape death!"
Coldly staring at Sun Zhe, Yin Wuqie’s eyes were filled with icy intent. Although he had cooperated with Sun Zhe to rescue Tang Yuexi, that was solely for her sake. Now that Sun Zhe had killed his fellow cultivators from Dark Continent and stood on the opposing side of the Eight Directions World, he had undoubtedly crossed Yin Wuqie's bottom line.
"You will surely die today!" A young man from Green Forest Continent, who harbored deep resentment against Sun Zhe, appeared at Sun Zhe's right side. His gaze was filled with murderous intent as he spoke coldly. Many powerful figures from Green Forest Continent had fallen at Sun Zhe's hands, and this time he was determined to kill Sun Zhe; otherwise, he could not explain himself to the remaining people of Green Forest Continent.
As soon as he finished speaking, two more figures flashed out, their powerful auras soaring into the sky. Fire Cloud from Flame Continent and a young woman named Qingyun from Water Cloud Continent appeared behind Sun Zhe, blocking his path with clear intentions.
"Sun Zhe, if you capture that Military Commander of Wuguan now, I can guarantee your safe departure!"
A calm voice suddenly echoed from atop the city wall. Despite the peaceful tone, it involuntarily instilled a sense of respect in others. A White Figure stepped out from the half-void as if teleporting; its strange movement shocked everyone. The speaker was none other than Aoken, the Saint Son of the Holy See, who had yet to make a move.
A handsome face appeared before Sun Zhe, and the confidence in Aoken's eyes made even the stars pale in comparison. Indeed, Aoken's demeanor was the most outstanding that Sun Zhe had ever seen; even Thunder Abyss, who possessed the Thunder God Bloodline, paled in comparison.
Coldly regarding Aoken, although Sun Zhe did not understand his identity, it was evident from his tone that he was undoubtedly a significant figure in the Eight Directions World.
"Haha... You think too highly of me, Sun Zhe! I cannot capture that Military Commander of Wuguan!" Sun Zhe's gaze turned cold as he unhesitatingly rejected Aoken's proposal.
At this moment, the bizarre battle atop the city wall came to an abrupt halt. Both sides stood apart while Sun Zhe faced off against the leaders of the Eight Directions World in half-void space. Originally the protagonists Wang Ben and others had become mere spectators, watching as if they were uninvolved bystanders.
"Sun Zhe..." Wang Ben murmured this name twice as a glimmer of brilliance flashed in his eyes. He tightened his grip on his simple blade and stepped forward without hesitation.
"General, be cautious!" Seeing Wang Ben's movement, one of his deputy commanders immediately spoke up to stop him. Looking at the standoff in mid-air, a serious expression emerged in his eyes.
Given the strength of their opponents, this battle for defending the city seemed dire; however, they could not allow their general to fall into danger. Otherwise, not only would his life be at stake but also his family far away in Xianyang could be affected. The Royal Family's influence in Qin State was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine. If Wang Ben were to fall tragically, they would inevitably be implicated.
Wang Ben was astute; upon noticing his deputy's expression, he immediately understood his concerns and a hint of cold arrogance flashed across his lips.
"This person is proud and fierce, definitely not the type to engage in schemes. If he had such a character, he wouldn't have achieved such cultivation at such a young age. I will act according to my own judgment!"
Looking at the imposing Sun Zhe in mid-air, for some reason, Wang Ben felt an inexplicable sense of friendliness. As he spoke, his figure flashed and he dashed forward. Although he was also a powerful figure in the realm, the Killing Intent emanating from him far surpassed that of the other young Cultivators. As he rushed forward, the overwhelming Killing Intent transformed into a blue dragon that roared towards everyone.
"To kill me, Wang Ben, you are not qualified yet!" A reckless voice rang out as Wang Ben charged towards the crowd. In his right hand, the Long Sword slashed out a massive gray Sword Aura, cutting through the air and sweeping horizontally towards everyone.
"Kill!"
Seeing Wang Ben take the initiative, an obvious anger flashed across Aoken's proud face. He waved his right hand in the air, and a gigantic golden sword several meters long appeared out of nowhere in mid-Void, slicing through the air directly towards the charging Wang Ben. As the light sword fell, a huge crack appeared in the air, and a terrifying spatial storm erupted.
Yin Wuqie was not slow to act either. With a flick of his right hand, the cold bone fire in his palm transformed into a raging flame several meters high that enveloped Sun Zhe. Meanwhile, the Vengeful Spirit Bone Beast beneath him let out a roar and pounced fiercely towards Sun Zhe. The young man from the Green Forest Continent also acted in anger, immediately summoning countless ancient trees to surround Sun Zhe.
The remaining powerful figures exchanged glances and understood each other's intentions. Qingyun from the Water Cloud Continent and Fire Cloud from the Flame Continent flashed their figures and rushed towards Sun Zhe, while Tu Tao from the Thick Earth Continent and Wind Bell from the Wings of Wind Continent coordinated with Aoken to attack Wang Ben. Only Li Zhen remained on horseback, his expression fluctuating with indecision.
However, his hesitation could not alter the situation of the battle. Although over fifty Cultivators from the Thunder Continent had not made a move, other Cultivators from the Seven Realms showed no hesitation. Under the leadership of more than ten other powerful figures, over seven hundred remaining Cultivators charged again towards the defending troops of Wuguan, who also met them head-on under their commanders' guidance, and both sides clashed once more.
"Kill..."
"Kill him! I'll fight you to the death!"
"Divine Ability — Bone Transformation Technique, die..."
Various voices echoed on the city walls as cries of battle filled the air. One by one, soldiers from Great Qin fell under various types of Divine Abilities and Martial Arts, while some Otherworldly Cultivators also perished on the walls. Although it was not entirely one-sided, overall, it was only a matter of time before the defenders of Wuguan faced defeat.
But they were not in the most dangerous situation; that distinction belonged to Sun Zhe and Wang Ben. Surrounded by four equally powerful figures in their realm, Sun Zhe faced dire straits while being encircled by three top-tier experts left Wang Ben in an equally precarious position. In just a blink of an eye, blood stained Sun Zhe, while wounds covered Wang Ben.
"Sun Zhe, today is your day to die!"
A cold voice came from a young man of the Green Forest Continent. With a flick of his right hand, an enormous green net descended upon Sun Zhe. At that same moment, the gigantic Vengeful Spirit Bone Beast lunged at him with its claw; its icy bone claw swelled up rapidly and grew several meters large in an instant.
Having just fended off the joint attack from Qingyun and Fire Cloud, upon seeing another wave of assault coming his way, Sun Zhe swung his Long Sword down fiercely. Endless streams of Sword Qi immediately met the descending green net. His figure flashed as he stomped down hard on top of the head of the Vengeful Spirit Bone Beast, producing a sound like cracking bones. Using this momentum, he shot upward; however, at that moment, an incredibly strong black barrier slammed down directly onto his chest. A mouthful of bright red blood gushed out as Sun Zhe's figure involuntarily staggered downwards again.
"Ah..." With a wild roar, Wang Ben forced back the advancing Feng Ling with a single strike, but he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. Upon closer inspection, a deep wound that exposed bone had appeared on his chest, and bright red blood flowed out like a stream.
"Lord Li, if you don't take action now, there may not be another opportunity!"
Seeing the battle situation on the city wall, a cultivator from Thunder Continent could no longer contain himself. He rode his horse to Li Zhen's side and, with a grim expression, urged him to act.
The united forces of the Eight Directions World were breaking through. If Thunder Continent did not intervene, they would likely be excluded from the aftermath by the other Seven Realms, missing even the chance to enter Qin State's territory, let alone divide up Qin State's lands. This would be extremely detrimental for Thunder Continent's future arrival in Nine Continents.
With flickering light in his eyes, Li Zhen's face was still filled with complex emotions. However, he understood the urgency of the situation and knew he had to make a decision. A fierce look flashed in his eyes as he tightened his grip on the reins and slowly raised them.
Just as Li Zhen was about to swing his right hand down, his expression suddenly changed dramatically. His body lurched downward as his steed collapsed beneath him. But it wasn't just his horse that fell; all fifty or so horses under the Thunder Continent warriors also collapsed to the ground in an instant, their large eyes filled with overwhelming fear.
Li Zhen was not the only one to sense this strange change; many powerful figures on the city wall simultaneously felt a terrifying aura descend. All eyes turned toward the source of this aura—up into the sky.
As everyone gazed upward, the light in the air suddenly contracted, all drawing upward as if the entire space had transformed into a vacuum—Void. A massive blood-red shadow emerged, and at that moment, the entire world fell silent.
Upon closer inspection, this blood shadow was indeed a Blood-Red Palm that measured a hundred feet in size!
