As the violent Thunder Power surged forth, dazzling purple Lightning Arcs flickered in the palm of Sun Zhe's hand. His aura rapidly rose, seemingly without limit, firmly suppressing Zhou Qi in front of him. The entire square was enveloped by the Thunder Might radiating from him.
"I'm sorry, I must kill you; otherwise, I won't be at ease!"
Coldly uttering these words, Sun Zhe suddenly stepped forward. A series of figures transformed and connected in a straight line; upon closer inspection, there were exactly nine figures, with the foremost one being Sun Zhe's true body, appearing right before Zhou Qi.
With his right hand enveloped in raging Thunder Power, he slashed through the air with a purple glow, fiercely reaching for Zhou Qi's head. Blood splattered, instantly staining the empty canvas with a deep crimson.
"What are you doing…"
Sun Zhe's gaze slightly furrowed as he coldly spoke.
"Yao'er, why must you do this…" Zhou Qi looked incredulously at Zhou Houyao standing in front of him. His dim eyes were filled with sorrow as he immediately let out a frantic roar, two long tears streaming down his gaunt cheeks.
"Sun Zhe, let me finish my words; I beg you..."
A long bloodstain appeared on Zhou Houyao's back; just moments ago, he had rushed out to block Sun Zhe's claw aimed at Zhou Qi. Blood flowed continuously from the wound, filling his mouth as he stared blankly at Sun Zhe, his eyes filled with desperate pleading.
Sun Zhe remained silent and slowly took two steps back.
"Cough cough... Grandpa, Yao'er knows you never regarded me as your true grandson. Besides Bingo, there’s probably no one in the Zhou family you think highly of..."
"Stop it, Yao'er; don’t say anymore. It’s my fault..." Zhou Qi trembled, his internal energy continuously flowing towards Zhou Houyao's body, his eyes filled with deep sorrow.
"No, let me finish... If I don't now, there won’t be another chance. Actually, everyone in the family knows about this; they all understand that I’m just a substitute for Bingo... That’s why I’ve always tried to show off. I thought if I became excellent enough, I could replace Bingo in your heart... But... but... ha ha, it was just wishful thinking; I will never be able to compare to Bingo..."
At this point, Zhou Houyao's face had turned pale as snow, and his eyes were filled with thick Death Qi. Sun Zhe's claw showed no mercy; it was already remarkable that he could hold on until now. At this moment, however, he turned to look at Sun Zhe.
"Sun Zhe, I am very grateful to you. The first time was when you gave me a chance; you killed Bingo and allowed me to enter Grandpa's sight. Although I failed... The second time was when you allowed me to die in place of my grandfather. He is just a pitiful old man who wants to revitalize the family. Since I have already died, please forgive him, alright?"
His eyes fixed intently on Sun Zhe, revealing an unprecedented plea. He was the legitimate heir of the Zhou family, an envied noble youth; yet in reality, he was just a child yearning for his grandfather's love—a simple soul hidden beneath a splendid exterior.
Without waiting for Sun Zhe's response, the light in his eyes gradually faded away. The focus in his pupils slowly dispersed; his body slumped down as he lost all vitality and collapsed helplessly.
Holding tightly onto Zhou Houyao's lifeless body, two tears of regret slowly dripped from the corners of his eyes. Gone was the past bravado; he seemed to transform into a lonely and helpless old man.
After a moment, he slowly raised his head and looked at Sun Zhe, who was quietly standing beside him. A hint of color returned to his eyes as he slowly spoke,
“Thank you for letting him finish his last words.”
Zhou Qi did not mention Zhou Houyao's final wish at all. He understood Sun Zhe's character; Sun Zhe would not let him off easily. Someone with such a resolute mindset would not leave behind any future troubles for himself. It is precisely because of this determination that he could achieve extraordinary accomplishments. Sun Zhe's current success was not merely due to luck, but also the result of his relentless hard work.
“No need to thank me; this is what I promised him. Do you have anything else you want?”
Looking quietly at Zhou Qi, Sun Zhe's expression was devoid of sadness or joy.
Hearing Sun Zhe's words, Zhou Qi lowered his head to look at Zhou Houyao in his arms and slowly spoke,
“Zhou Hanbin is dead, and Yao'er is also dead. I have no more attachments. If possible, please do not make things difficult for the remaining members of the Zhou family. With Fang Yuan's methods, there are probably not many strong members of the Zhou family left in the Xuan Lei Sect. The rest are mostly elderly, weak, women, and children, posing no threat to you. As a condition for exchange, everything here belongs to you.”
As he extended his right hand, an ancient Ethereal Ring appeared in Sun Zhe's palm. His gaze flickered slightly, and Sun Zhe nodded slowly and said,
“I promise you.”
Upon hearing Sun Zhe's affirmative response, a hint of relief appeared in Zhou Qi's eyes, as if he had been liberated from something. The obsession that once filled his heart seemed to have vanished, even the thought of revenge was gone.
“Let me remind you one last time: be wary of Fang Yuan. He is far from being as simple as you imagine…”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Qi slapped his hand against his neck, tilting his head as he collapsed to the ground alongside Zhou Houyao. In his final moments, his hands still tightly embraced Zhou Houyao, as if he wanted to take his grandson along with him.
At that moment, light flickered, and seven or eight streaks of light suddenly rushed toward them from the direction of the Xuanlei Sect Great Hall. Moments later, these figures appeared before Sun Zhe, revealing themselves to be the hurriedly arriving Zhao Ang, Shen Yan, and others.
“What… what on earth happened…” Looking incredulously at the scene before him, Zhao Ang was filled with shock, his mouth agape as he involuntarily asked.
“Brother Sun, are you alright?”
Shen Yan lightly covered her mouth, her beautiful Big Eyes filled with astonishment. However, she was more concerned about Sun Zhe’s condition and gently walked up to him, asking with some worry.
The remaining members also displayed expressions of deep shock. They had prepared themselves for a fierce battle since the aura that erupted earlier was overwhelmingly powerful and certainly not from Sun Zhe. Yet they had rushed over only to find this scene.
“I’m fine; they’re all dead. Just give them a proper burial.”
A trace of barely detectable fatigue flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes as he slowly spoke to the crowd.
"Alright!" The few people around Shen did not hesitate and immediately agreed. However, as they spoke, the admiration in their eyes intensified.
At that moment, while they were responding, Sun Zhe's brow involuntarily furrowed slightly. He immediately raised his eyes to look in another direction of the side hall. Before long, dozens of powerful auras simultaneously enveloped everyone's hearts. They all looked up and saw that under Fang Yuan's leadership, dozens of strong individuals were rushing towards them.
These dozens of strong individuals all had cultivation levels above the Realm of Thunder Sovereign. Among them were not only the experts from Xuan Lei Sect but also those from Aohumen and Crimson Thunder Hall. The leader of Aohumen, Ao Cheng, and the Hall Master of Crimson Thunder Hall, Zheng Kuanglei, were also among them.
In a flash of light, the figures of these dozens of strong individuals appeared in the square, their gazes locking onto Zhou Qi's corpse on the ground. Upon seeing the four Five Element Corpses, their expressions suddenly stiffened.
"Hiss..."
Everyone simultaneously gasped in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief. They clearly sensed that the aura comparable to a Mid-Level Thunder Lord was emanating from those four Five Element Corpses. What was even more surprising was that Sun Zhe had managed to deal with these four Five Element Corpses and Zhou Qi, who was at the early stage of Thunder Lord, without sustaining any injuries.
What they did not know was that there were not four but five Five Element Corpses; the other corpse had been completely destroyed by Sun Zhe.
