Chapter 236: I Will Handle It Myself
The Desolate Autumn Wind roared across the land, a chilling aura permeating the earth. A terrifying energy storm enveloped the entire area. Just as everyone was at a standstill, a series of rapid footsteps echoed from within the jungle.
In the silent environment, these previously faint footsteps sounded particularly jarring. Upon hearing the continuous sound of footsteps, a sense of surprise surged in everyone's hearts. Hundreds of sharp gazes simultaneously turned toward the direction of the sound, and the oppressive aura from Void gradually lessened.
"Tap Tap Tap Tap... Tap Tap Tap Tap..."
The soft footsteps mingled with the sound of the Autumn Wind, resonating through the mountains and forests like an enchanting melody or a captivating song that momentarily entranced everyone.
They have come out!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the owners of the rapid footsteps finally appeared: a man and a woman. The man wore a White Robe, had long black hair, and while he was not particularly handsome—certainly not as striking as Thunder Abyss or Feng Yu—he possessed an impressive demeanor. He stood tall with cold, piercing eyes that exuded a strong sense of pressure.
The woman, however, evoked a sense of awe in everyone. Her long blue hair flowed like a mountain stream, and her twinkling eyes resembled distant stars. Her perfectly proportioned figure captivated all hearts, and her gentle movements stirred everyone's souls. Every smile and frown revealed her unparalleled beauty.
The man was Sun Zhe, and the woman walking behind him was undoubtedly his sworn protector, Tang Yuexi.
Sun Zhe emerged from the jungle at a strategic position, right beside many powerful figures from Wings of Wind Continent. Although he had come out from Longshan, he was positioned slightly farther away from them, so there was no need for Sun Zhe to call out. The numerous strong individuals from Wings of Wind Continent moved in unison; in the blink of an eye, Tang Yuexi was securely surrounded by them. A large group of elites from Wings of Wind Continent protected her while people from Thick Earth Continent and Dark Continent's Dark Swordsman flanked her sides. Meanwhile, Feng Yu and Feng Ling from the Four Great Powerhouses remained poised in half Void to prevent any surprise attacks from Zhan and others.
Sun Zhe found himself on the outside of this protective circle. Although he had emerged from Longshan alongside Tang Yuexi, very few recognized him. Their focus was solely on protecting Tang Yuexi; naturally, Sun Zhe went unnoticed.
"Tang Yuexi, are you alright?" Liu Mei asked as she placed her hands on Tang Yuexi's shoulders, her eyes filled with joy as her previous worries vanished.
"Senior Sister, I'm fine, everything is well." Tang Yuexi smiled gently, but her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the tall figure outside the formation, the light in her eyes flickering slightly.
Seeing the sudden turn of events before them, the expressions of Zhan and the others darkened immediately. Zhan had originally planned to use the methods of the person from Wings of Wind Continent to locate Tang Yuexi. The arrival of so many powerful individuals from Wings of Wind Continent had already exceeded their expectations, and they never anticipated that Sun Zhe, whom they had been searching for a long time without success, would directly bring Tang Yuexi into the ranks of Wings of Wind Continent.
In this case, unless they were willing to risk casualties to seize Tang Yuexi, they might never have such an opportunity again. However, dealing with the three continents' powerful figures who were eyeing them covetously would not be easy.
"Sun Zhe!"
Zhan's face was grim as he suppressed a low growl, his eyes filled with intense anger as he looked at Sun Zhe. He could have easily captured Tang Yuexi during their last encounter on the plains, but Sun Zhe had unexpectedly appeared. And now it was happening again; how could Zhan not be furious?
With a wave of his right hand, nearly a hundred elite warriors on the ground immediately blocked the team from Wings of Wind Continent. Each one unhesitatingly drew their weapons, while Zhan and his three companions also locked onto Feng Yu and the others from a distance. If they let their opponents leave just like that, they would truly be unwilling.
In fact, among those present, not many recognized Sun Zhe; only Zhan and Thunder Abyss from Thunder Continent knew him. The others naturally did not know Sun Zhe. Even those from Wings of Wind Continent who had received some information had only heard of his name and had hardly seen him in person.
"It turns out to be Brother Sun. Thank you for your protection along the way," Feng Yu said with cupped hands and a loud voice towards Sun Zhe. From Liu Mei's earlier account, he understood that Tang Yuexi falling into Zhan's hands was largely due to Sun Zhe's efforts.
Upon hearing Feng Yu's words of thanks, Sun Zhe glanced lightly at Tang Yuexi, who was being protected by everyone beside Liu Mei. He then slowly turned his head back, his gaze calm as water, and spoke softly,
"I do all this merely to fulfill my promise."
His plain words were like cold water—emotionless and tasteless. Tang Yuexi involuntarily shivered beside Liu Mei, her eyes shimmering with tears.
"Haha... So you are Sun Zhe! I heard you severely injured Zhan Nanzi; you're quite impressive!" A figure flashed, and Tu Tao's short stature suddenly appeared beside Sun Zhe, his face full of excitement as he spoke to Sun Zhe while slapping him heartily on the shoulder.
What came into view was a pair of cold, piercing eyes. Tu Tao's smile abruptly faded, and his outstretched right hand awkwardly retracted. From that gaze, he could tell that if he truly slapped down, this indifferent man would indeed dare to strike back.
“Ahem... My name is Tu Tao from the Thick Earth Continent. We are allies with your Thunder Continent, of course, I also have some grudges with Zhan Nanzi.” After a couple of dry coughs, Tu Tao immediately began to explain.
In truth, Tu Tao felt a bit aggrieved. With his qualifications and strength, he used to be the object of admiration wherever he went. However, recently he had been facing obstacles at every turn. It was like this when he encountered Zhan, and it was the same with Yin Wuqie. Now, even greeting Sun Zhe turned out to be like this. It seemed as if all those formidable figures had suddenly appeared around him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
“So you are Sun Zhe? My brother Lu Lin died at your hands?”
As soon as Tu Tao's words fell, a chilling voice echoed in Sun Zhe's ears. The tone was filled with killing intent. Upon closer inspection, it was Lu Qin from the Green Forest Continent appearing before Sun Zhe, surrounded by swirling green energy. The beautiful eyes were also filled with intense murderous intent.
Among the four of them, Zhan and Fire Cloud came for Tang Yuexi, Thunder Abyss was merely there to complete a transaction, but she was truly there for Sun Zhe—or perhaps for her brother Lu Lin who was killed by Sun Zhe. Having lost both parents at a young age, her brother was her only family; otherwise, with her proud character, she would never lead a large group here to join forces with Zhan and the others to search the mountains.
Lu Lin! Sun Zhe's eyes suddenly narrowed as he turned his gaze toward the beautiful woman flying toward him, instantly recalling the Lu Lin from the Green Forest Continent whom he had killed on the plains.
“Her name is Lu Qin. The Lu Lin you killed is her brother. It seems she has come seeking revenge. She is quite a madwoman; don’t be fooled by her understanding of Wood Elemental Law—her strength is several times greater than that useless brother of hers. Even Zhan Nanzi holds her in high regard, though she is still slightly weaker than me.”
Seeing the look of confusion in Sun Zhe's eyes, Tu Tao's voice timely rang in his ears.
Lu Qin! Sun Zhe repeated the name several times, feeling as if he had heard it somewhere before. As for Tu Tao's subsequent words, he automatically disregarded them.
“I did kill Lu Lin!”
Coldly staring at Lu Qin not far ahead, Sun Zhe's expression showed no change whatsoever. Revenge for revenge and grievance for grievance is only natural; since he had killed her brother, it was only right for Lu Qin to come seeking vengeance regardless of the reasons behind it.
"Since that's the case, you can go down and accompany my brother!"
As soon as the words fell, a chilling light suddenly flickered in Lu Qin's enchanting eyes, and an intense killing intent burst forth. Surrounding her were waves of gray Killing Intent, which could not have been formed by simply killing one or two people; from a distance, it gave off a soul-stirring feeling.
Her white jade-like right hand slowly extended, and the surrounding trees and weeds began to grow wildly. Within a few miles, the trees seemed to transform into monstrous entities, simultaneously surging into the half Void, becoming towering giants. Lu Qin was instantly enveloped by the plants, and the entire space appeared to morph into an eerie world.
Witnessing this astonishing scene, the onlookers couldn't help but gasp in shock. Who among the people of the Green Forest Continent lacked strength? Lu Qin completely shattered that notion; just the aura she displayed far surpassed that of ordinary experts.
"Brother Feng Yu!"
Tang Yuexi's eyes flashed with surprise as she immediately called out to Feng Yu in the half Void.
Feng Yu's expression turned serious as he understood Tang Yuexi's intent. His figure flickered and he rushed toward the imposing Lu Qin. With a grasp of his right hand in the air, a Storm Longsword instantly shimmered into existence from the half Void.
"I'll handle this myself!"
A shadow flashed, and Sun Zhe appeared before Feng Yu.
