Chapter 227: Three Great Enemies
It wasn't that the elites of the Flame Continent were too weak; if they were weak, they wouldn't have been chosen to represent the Flame Continent in the Nine Continents Mainland. The key was that they never expected Sun Zhe to be so powerful, and Sun Zhe didn't give them any time to think. Before the elites of the Flame Continent could fully react, he struck decisively.
In the blink of an eye, five out of the seven Flame Continent experts surrounding Tang Yuexi were killed by Sun Zhe. The remaining two were visibly shaken, fear flooding their eyes as they saw Sun Zhe charging toward them. They instinctively began to retreat. If all seven of them had worked together, they might have been able to stop Sun Zhe, but with only the two of them left, it was indeed quite dangerous.
Sun Zhe's movements showed no signs of slowing down. Ignoring the residual energy waves that had yet to dissipate, he charged directly at the two remaining opponents. His feet pounded against the ground, causing it to tremble slightly, and his hands surged with violent Purple Energy.
"Kill!"
Seeing Sun Zhe barreling toward them, the two exchanged glances and a flash of determination crossed their eyes. Instead of retreating, they advanced together to attack Sun Zhe. They knew that Sun Zhe's speed far surpassed theirs, and there was no hope in fleeing; fighting back might give them a slim chance of survival.
They also had another ally coming—one of the Flame Continent experts who was engaged in battle with Liu Mei was rushing over. This person was also one of the top experts from the Flame Continent. Although he had not yet been recognized by the Fire Law, his strength was not inferior to Fire Kun.
Being recognized by a Law did not necessarily mean one was stronger than those who weren't recognized. For example, Li Zhen from Thunder Continent had not been acknowledged by a Law, yet even some recognized experts could do nothing against him. There are differences in strength among Laws; weaker Laws are usually comprehended more quickly, while stronger Laws take longer to grasp. However, once such a Law is understood, one's strength can soar dramatically.
With this support in mind, the determination of the two men intensified. Each wielded a fiery red Long Sword, unleashing all their flame power. A dazzling red light flickered around them, but this crimson flame power did not disperse; instead, it clung tightly to their bodies, forming a scorching red armor.
However, Sun Zhe showed no signs of surprise. A black Long Sword appeared in his right hand in an instant, and Thunder Power surged into it. As he watched the two charging at him with fierce momentum, a colder look filled his eyes. Using his forward momentum, he swung his Long Sword forward; pure Thunder Power immediately poured forth, enveloping the two Flame Continent warriors in purple sword light.
Sun Zhe's Sword Technique was incredibly powerful; even Lü Lin, who had been recognized by a Law, could not withstand Sun Zhe's full-strength strike. How could these two possibly block it? The armor on their bodies shattered instantly as purple Sword Aura swept toward them. The purple blade descended upon them, and their figures vanished from the hillside without a trace or any blood remaining because the ground where they stood was blasted into a massive pit several meters deep. These two truly went Gone Without a Trace!
Ultimately, they underestimated Sun Zhe's strength. Such a shocking scene stunned those watching from afar; even the Flame Continent expert rushing over found his steps faltering slightly as he stopped in place, his crimson eyes flickering slightly.
"Brother Sun... you..."
Seeing Sun Zhe covered in blood rushing over, Tang Yuexi immediately went to meet him, her eyes flashing with intense excitement. Her delicate hands tightly grasped Sun Zhe's clothing, and her frail body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"You’re okay…"
Forcing a smile, Sun Zhe's face showed a hint of paleness, but he didn't seem to care about the blood on him at all.
Having killed seven people in a row seemed brave and invincible, but in reality, Sun Zhe had pushed his strength to the limit. He had already fought two consecutive battles on the plains, and after running all the way here, his energy was nearly depleted. Moreover, those seven were all carefully selected Young Powerhouses from the Flame Continent. If it weren't for Sun Zhe's overwhelming aura that intimidated them, he wouldn't have been able to win so easily in such a short time.
The simple five words warmed Tang Yuexi's heart. Given her status, she was accustomed to people trying to flatter her in nature, but what Sun Zhe did for her still moved her.
There are many who add flowers to the brocade, but few who send charcoal in the snow. Although Sun Zhe promised Yan Ruoyun to protect her, once they arrived at the Nine Continents Mainland, no one would know if he broke his promise. Furthermore, even if he kept his promise, there was no need for him to go to such lengths.
"Tang Yuexi, are you alright…"
Liu Mei, abandoned by that strong person from the Flame Continent, also rushed to Tang Yuexi's side. However, her face was pale, clearly showing that she had struggled significantly against that strong opponent. If it weren't for her possessing several powerful life-saving Divine Abilities, she might have already been captured by him. Even so, she looked extremely disheveled and no longer had her usual proud demeanor.
"Senior Sister, are you okay…" Seeing Liu Mei in disarray and with several serious injuries, tears shimmered in Tang Yuexi's eyes as she felt a surge of self-reproach within her heart.
"I… I'm fine, just some minor injuries… Sun Zhe, thank you this time."
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Mei finally spoke to express her gratitude towards Sun Zhe. Although their relationship wasn't particularly close, Sun Zhe’s desperate attempt to save Tang Yuexi still made her feel a sense of gratitude. She was an orphan; apart from the master who raised her, Tang Yuexi was the closest person to her.
"Since I promised Yan Zhi Fa, I will naturally keep my word. You don’t need to thank me… Oh no!"
Hearing Liu Mei's thanks, Sun Zhe didn't turn around but kept his eyes fixed on the battle in mid-air. When he saw a strike from Thunder Abyss hit Zheng Bin in the chest, his expression changed drastically. However, this time he truly recognized the terrifying power of Thunder Abyss, the Descendant of the Thunder God.
"Boom..."
With an explosive sound, a purple energy immediately exploded from Zheng Bin's chest, shredding his clothes into pieces and staining his body with bright red blood. His body flew downward like a kite. Sun Zhe did not hesitate and immediately flew up to catch Zheng Bin.
"Puff..."
Another mouthful of crimson blood gushed out, and Zheng Bin's face turned even paler. After a moment, he took a slight breath and realized that it was Sun Zhe who had caught him. A complex expression flashed in his eyes as he struggled to stand up.
"Thank you!" After a moment, Zheng Bin finally whispered these two words.
However, Sun Zhe had already lost interest in Zheng Bin's gratitude because another powerful figure appeared in the half-Void, and this person was none other than the one who had just fought with Sun Zhe—Zhan. Sun Zhe could not understand why so many strong individuals were blocking Zhan and his group on the plain, and how Zhan could possibly appear here. Nevertheless, it was an undeniable fact that Zhan was present.
The three powerful figures each occupied a position, Ling Kong standing tall and gazing down at the four below. An overwhelming aura descended, firmly locking onto Sun Zhe and the others, sealing off all their escape routes and leaving them with no possibility of fleeing.
"Why are you here?"
Coldly staring at the frontmost figure, Zhan, Sun Zhe's black eyes flickered but his expression remained unchanged.
"Heh heh, do you think they can stop me? If I wanted to, you couldn't even kill Lu Lin... You don't need to be so clever; those people will naturally be dealt with by someone else. Even if you delay time, you won't wait for their assistance."
Zhan glanced at Sun Zhe with a hint of mockery in his eyes and spoke nonchalantly. His meaning was clear: there were definitely more people appearing on the plain, and those individuals were opponents of Thunder Continent. Xi Men Zhuo and his group were too busy protecting themselves to come to their rescue.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Bin's expression darkened. Initially, he had been with Xi Men Zhuo, but they had split into two paths. He never expected that both sides would now be in dire straits—truly two unfortunate brothers in arms. Tang Yuexi and Liu Mei also flashed similar expressions, clearly sharing the same thoughts.
"I only have one question for you: Flame Continent and Green Forest Continent are enemies of my Thunder Continent. Even if you want to capture Sister Tang, there’s no need to ally with them, right?" Sun Zhe asked Zhan again with a grim expression.
"Ha ha... Who said we are enemies with the Flame Continent and the Green Forest Continent? They have always been our allies. The only ones who are enemies with the Flame Continent and the Green Forest Continent are you, Brother Lei, aren't they?"
Turning to look at Thunder Abyss on the other side, Zhan raised an eyebrow and spoke with a faint smile.
"I don't care who is enemies with whom. Just make sure to give me the other half of the Thunder God Altar map once everything is done. Now, stop dragging your feet and let's get to it!"
Thunder Abyss's gaze flickered, a hint of impatience flashing across his face as he scanned the crowd below and spoke nonchalantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the three exchanged glances and simultaneously descended. Three powerful auras pressed down along with their descent, causing those below to feel a weight in their hearts.
"I'll deal with Zhan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zhe's figure flashed as he rushed towards Zhan at the front.
"Thunder Abyss is mine!" A determined look flashed in Zheng Bin's eyes as he charged fiercely towards Thunder Abyss.
The remaining two women exchanged glances and, along with Jingjing, headed towards the strong warrior from the Flame Continent.
