Looking at the suddenly appearing Sun Zhe, Zhou Qi's pupils slightly contracted, and a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes. He had not sensed Sun Zhe's arrival at all, which was enough to shock him.
Although he was not an unparalleled powerhouse, his Spiritual Power at the Thunder Lord Stage was substantial, definitely stronger than those so-called Thunder Sovereigns by more than double. Yet, such powerful Spiritual Power still failed to detect Sun Zhe's presence. Could it be that Sun Zhe's Spiritual Power was even stronger than his? How could that be possible...
"Are you surprised again? Heh heh, I've been observing you for quite a while now. What do you think?"
Standing three zhang away from Zhou Qi, Sun Zhe stopped in his tracks, calmly looking at Zhou Qi as if he could see through his thoughts, speaking with a hint of mockery.
Back when Sun Zhe was just a Thunderer, Zhou Qi only needed to show a hint of killing intent to make him feel utterly powerless. Yet today, Sun Zhe could look down upon Zhou Qi.
With Sun Zhe's powerful Spiritual Power, he could easily tell that Zhou Qi had merely been forcefully elevated to the Realm of the Thunder Lord. His internal spiritual energy and Spiritual Power had only reached the early standards of a Thunder Lord, but in reality, he had not comprehended the Spirit Domain at all. At most, he could only be considered a pseudo Thunder Lord Stage Cultivator.
Breaking through from the peak of Thunder Sovereign to the Realm of the Thunder Lord was far from simple; otherwise, Fang Yuan and Dongfang Quan would not have remained at the peak of Thunder Sovereign for so long. Even with Sun Zhe's qualifications, it took him three years of accumulation and guidance from top-tier powerhouses before he barely managed to break through.
Although Zhou Qi had broken through the peak of Thunder Sovereign, he was not truly a Cultivator of the Realm of the Thunder Lord. Therefore, Sun Zhe was no longer anxious; he had already seen through Zhou Qi's strength. Such power could never escape from his grasp.
Looking at the calm Sun Zhe, Zhou Qi's expression darkened. He casually discarded Zhou Houyao like trash and fixed his gloomy gaze on Sun Zhe, slowly speaking,
"Do you really think that now that the Golden Thunder Sect has lifted their assassination order against you, you can act without concern? You killed so many people back then and created numerous grudges. Those sect forces—I'm afraid even the Golden Thunder Sect won't let it go easily. Do you really think they won't come after you? Or do you genuinely believe your strength can make you fearless against anyone?"
Taking two slow steps forward, Zhou Qi stepped out of the great hall and coldly confronted Sun Zhe.
In his view, Sun Zhe was merely at the Realm of Thunder Sovereign. No matter how strong he was or how capable he was of challenging higher levels, under his precautions, there was no way Sun Zhe could do anything to him. Even if he were truly no match for him, Zhou Qi believed he could leave without being stopped by Sun Zhe.
"Heh heh, since you've come to the Golden Thunder Sect, I recall some things."
Sun Zhe smiled slightly and began to recount.
"Back when I went to Zhang Manor to settle accounts with Cai Yuanheng, your people from Zhou Manor were also there. Cai Yuanheng could still agree to his demands. From my perspective, you were planning to merge with Zhang Manor to strengthen your Zhou family's influence. At that time, you were already scheming for the Zhou family to dominate Beifeng City..."
"That's right," Zhou Qi said with a flicker in his gaze but did not deny it.
"Haha, next is the competition of the Xuan Lei Sect. The Aohumen and Crimson Thunder Hall have suddenly intervened; this must be your scheme, right? You secretly allied with these two major sects, and during the competition, you had Zhou Hanbin defeated by them. This was merely to undermine Fang Yuan's prestige and create a crisis for the Xuan Lei Sect..."
"Yes."
Zhou Qi's expression darkened slightly, but after a moment, he still uttered a single word.
"As for the Golden Thunder Sect, you must have contacted them long ago. Although I don't know how you managed to connect with the people from the Golden Thunder Sect, there's no doubt that all three major sects are being manipulated by you. Once the people from the Golden Thunder Sect arrived, you seized control of the Xuan Lei Sect's power, elevating it to a fourth-tier sect. Then you turned around and harshly suppressed your former allies. From then on, you alone controlled Beifeng City, while the Zhou family, whose strength has been rapidly growing in secret, stepped into the spotlight and became the first family in Beifeng City."
"As for me, I inadvertently disrupted your plans twice. You had Zhou Hanbin scheme against me in the Northern Mang Secret Realm; that was understandable. Unfortunately for you, his scheme ended up benefiting me. This must have been beyond your expectations." Sun Zhe said with a slight smirk, as if talking to himself.
"Enough!"
Zhou Qi's face darkened completely as he suddenly shouted angrily, his cold eyes fixed on Sun Zhe. A chilling killing intent radiated from him, and he seemed on the verge of going berserk.
"Sun Zhe, what do you mean by this? Are you flaunting your amazing deductive skills or showing off your continuous good fortune? Or are you trying to tell me that my Zhou Hanbin helped you?"
"Sun Zhe, let me tell you this: now that you've come here, there's no way you're leaving. Do you think I've done nothing in my years of controlling the Xuan Lei Sect? You're mistaken; I, Zhou Qi, would never be unprepared!"
"Five Element Corpse, come out!"
With Zhou Qi's fierce shout, the ground suddenly trembled. A series of explosive sounds erupted as countless stones flew into the air. The originally stone-paved square collapsed in ruins as five massive black shadows burst forth from beneath the earth. With five loud booms, they instantly surrounded Sun Zhe.
Wrapped in black cloth from head to toe, strands of black killing intent swirled around them. An overwhelming corpse aura spread across the entire square; these five massive figures were indeed the Five Element Corpses that Zhou Qi had spent years refining. As soon as they appeared, an unimaginable might surged forth like a storm.
"Sun Zhe, your talent is indeed impressive; even I have to admit this. But your mistake lies in being too young and arrogant. If I were you, I would have let Fang Yuan and his old companions take the lead."
"This Five Element Corpse was originally prepared for Fang Yuan's invitation of Thunder Lord Experts; who would have thought it would be used against you? I know your strength can rival an early-stage Thunder Lord Cultivator, but these Five Element Corpses possess peak Thunder Sovereign strength. When combined as one, they can unleash power comparable to a Mid-Level Thunder Lord. You have no chance today!"
Coldly staring at Sun Zhe amidst the Five Element Corpses, Zhou Qi's face twisted slightly as an indelible hatred surged forth.
"Since you've killed my Zhou Hanbin, then go down and accompany him in death!!!"
Zhou Qi let out a fierce roar, and with a gesture of his right hand, an astonishing aura of corpse energy surged from the five Five Element Corpses, simultaneously pouncing towards Sun Zhe. The iron-like claws struck down fiercely at Sun Zhe, and the black Killing Intent instantly enveloped him, drowning his figure in the thick Killing Intent.
This was Zhou Qi's greatest reliance; otherwise, how could he dare to provoke the wrath of so many people and monopolize the entire Beifeng City? The Five Element Corpses, made from the bodies of five peak Thunder Sovereign Cultivators, took him years to painstakingly gather materials for. Sun Zhe was absolutely no match for them.
Gazing towards the direction of the Xuanlei Sect Great Hall, a glint of cold light flashed in Zhou Qi's eyes.
"From now on, Beifeng City will completely belong to me, Zhou Qi!"
At the moment the Five Element Corpses appeared, all the strong figures in Beifeng City trembled. Fang Yuan and Dongfang Quan, who had just finished their battle at the Xuanlei Sect Great Hall, exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
"Immediately contact Ao Cheng and Zheng Kuanglei. Something has changed; tell them to take action as well..." Fang Yuan said calmly to Dongfang Quan, suppressing his own shock as he looked towards the direction of the side hall.
"But they..." A hint of hesitation flashed in Dongfang Quan's eyes.
"There is no 'but'... Right now, we are all like grasshoppers tied to the same rope. If Zhou Qi doesn't die, we all die. We have no way out."
At this point, a trace of helplessness also flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes. He truly did not expect that Zhou Qi had hidden such a powerful trump card; Sun Zhe was likely finished.
