Chapter Two Hundred Thirty-Eight This Is My Compensation
The desolate autumn wind continued to blow across the land, and everyone couldn't help but stare in shock at Void's proud figure. Even the arriving Zhan and Thunder Abyss were somewhat taken aback by Sun Zhe's swift actions, which caught everyone off guard.
Looking at the lifeless body of Lü Qin, Void stood on Fire Cloud and couldn't help but lick his cracked lips, as if the flames surrounding him were too scorching. In his crimson eyes, disbelief surged; among everyone present, only he had fought against Lü Qin and truly understood how terrifying she was. The fact that someone he dared not underestimate had died like this was hard for him to accept.
Not long after Lü Qin's death, the Demonic Wood Evil Spirit, which had been summoned by her, roared in anguish. Without Lü Qin's support, it could not remain here for long. Its fierce eyes glared at Sun Zhe with rage as its massive body charged toward him. However, before it could reach Sun Zhe, a loud explosive sound echoed, and its figure instantly vanished into the void.
Once everyone processed this shocking reality, Sun Zhe finally finished absorbing Lü Qin's Law power.
Although he had only absorbed a small portion of it, Lü Qin's understanding of Law was at least several times greater than his. This small fraction significantly enhanced his Lightning Symbol's aura by fifty percent, naturally increasing his comprehension of Thunder Law considerably.
Having swiftly killed Lü Qin, Sun Zhe did not feel well himself. Not only had he exhausted much of his spiritual energy, but colliding with the Demonic Wood Evil Spirit, which was comparable to a sixth-tier powerhouse, had also inflicted serious injuries on him. His face remained pale, but killing Lü Qin made it all worthwhile.
Sun Zhe did not engage with the few remaining opponents nor did he leave immediately; instead, he turned to look in Tang Yuexi's direction. As he gazed over, the elite guards protecting Tang Yuexi revealed expressions of admiration. Initially thinking Sun Zhe was an unknown soldier, they were surprised by his formidable strength. Respect for the strong is universal; moreover, this strong individual was an ally of theirs.
"This is my compensation to you!"
Sun Zhe slowly spoke, his cold voice immediately reaching Tang Yuexi's ears. The delicate figure beside Liu Mei trembled slightly; among those present, only she understood what Sun Zhe meant.
In fact, by bringing Tang Yuexi here, Sun Zhe had already fulfilled his promise from earlier. He had no need to confront Lü Qin directly; being alone meant that escaping or seeking other opportunities was far better than fighting Lü Qin under such overwhelming circumstances.
Given Sun Zhe's intelligence, how could he not realize this? The true reason for his actions was singular: to weaken Zhan's side and alleviate Tang Yuexi's crisis. Now there were only three top powerhouses left on Zhan's side; even if they fought hard, they could not seize Tang Yuexi. This was also Sun Zhe's goal; he did not voice it aloud, but Tang Yuexi saw through it clearly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Zhe took a step forward and began walking away into the distance. He had done all he could; the people from Wings of Wind Continent could fully protect Tang Yuexi now, so there was no need for him to stay any longer.
"Don't you want to stay?"
At that moment, Tang Yuexi finally mustered her courage and quickly stepped forward a few paces to call out to Void in a delicate voice. Her shout surprised everyone present; even Feng Yu's expression changed slightly as a complex look flashed in her black eyes. However, Tang Yuexi paid no mind to the gazes around her and fixed her sparkling eyes on that imposing figure with an expression full of hope.
Sun Zhe’s steps faltered slightly as he paused in his tracks. After a long silence, he sighed softly,
"You are Tang Yuexi, not Qiu Ruo!"
The faint words had already indicated Sun Zhe's intentions. Watching the figure gradually fade away, two lines of cold tears slowly slid down from Tang Yuexi's eyes, tracing her cheeks and dripping onto the ground.
Sun Zhe ultimately left. He rejected Tang Yuexi's pleas, stepping firmly on the solid ground as he passed through the ranks of the battle side. However, not a single one of the over a hundred strong warriors from the battle side dared to block his path. Even those who should have sought revenge for Lü Qin did not dare to step forward, only able to watch Sun Zhe walk past them.
"This is not something we can intervene in. Let's go; this matter will naturally be resolved by others in the future." Looking at Tang Yuexi, who was surrounded by everyone, a flicker of light flashed in the eyes of Zhan, and he sighed softly before speaking.
"Heh, indeed, it's better to leave such troublesome matters to those old geezers. That Sun Zhe is quite a formidable opponent," Fire Cloud grinned, his gaze involuntarily drifting towards the direction where Sun Zhe had departed.
"Just don't get yourself tangled up."
As soon as the words fell, Zhan's figure instantly vanished from the spot. As a person from Thunder Continent, he certainly understood Sun Zhe's rate of progress. With Sun Zhe's current strength, even he had to take him seriously. After he left, Thunder Abyss also disappeared amidst a flash of Thunder Light.
"How can there be progress without challenges..." Fire Cloud chuckled nonchalantly, glancing at the people from Wings of Wind Continent, especially at the four who remained vigilant: Feng Yu. He couldn't help but sigh helplessly and addressed the crowd below.
"You all should leave too!"
With that, his figure also vanished into a blaze of flames. Following that, shadows flickered continuously as various escape techniques were displayed. In just a moment, over a hundred strong warriors had completely disappeared without a trace. Such speed was astonishing; even Tu Tao, who excelled in Earth Escape Technique, felt a sense of camaraderie.
"Is it really over just like that?" Looking at Feng Yu and the others, Tu Tao asked incredulously. He had initially thought there would be a great battle, but unexpectedly, once Sun Zhe left, these people also fled one by one, leaving his earlier plans for glory in vain.
"Hmph, what else could we do? Stay here for dinner?"
After scolding Tu Tao, Wind Bell's gaze turned towards her brother. She could see that her brother's expression seemed somewhat unusual.
"Let's go!"
Amidst everyone's anticipation, two barely audible words finally escaped from Tang Yuexi's lips. After saying that, her body leaned against Liu Mei.
To the south of Zhao State lies Qin. Having completed his mission, Sun Zhe naturally intended to return to his homeland. Thus, he changed his direction and began heading towards the continent's Southern Region.
Having wandered through the Outer Starry Sky for so long as a being of thunder, Sun Zhe understood that his mother and younger brother were likely no longer alive. However, Qin State Northern Yue Village was still his hometown; he wanted to return and take a look. Regardless of whether there were descendants of the Sun Family, he wished to see his homeland once more.
Several hours later, as dusk approached, Sun Zhe did not rush on his journey but instead rested in a dense forest. Having just fought fiercely with Lü Qin, he needed a place to recuperate while thoroughly integrating the surging power of the Law. After all, only by fully assimilating it could it become truly his own and avoid leaving hidden dangers for future advancements.
Sitting cross-legged under an aged banyan tree, Sun Zhe couldn't help but think of Jingjing. Ever since the battle on the plains, their group had scattered, and only he and Tang Yuexi remained together. He had lost contact with Jingjing; although he could sense through their contract that Jingjing was still alive and well, he couldn't pinpoint her exact location. Despite her rebellious nature, she was still just a child, and Sun Zhe couldn't shake off a hint of worry.
"Who is it?"
Just as Sun Zhe was lost in thought, a sudden feeling of alarm surged within him. An inexplicable sense of danger flooded his mind. He immediately stood up, his senses heightened, gripping his black long sword tightly in his hand.
"Hehe... What's this? Just defeated Lü Qin from the Green Forest Continent and feeling all proud? You can't let your guard down like this! If I had ambushed you just now, you would have been in trouble."
A teasing voice rang out from nearby. Sun Zhe's gaze sharpened as he looked over and saw a stunning girl perched on a branch of a large tree. No, she shouldn't be called a girl; she was an incredibly alluring loli.
Dressed in green leather armor that barely covered her body, her ample chest stood proudly, and her curvy thighs made one's blood boil. What was most disconcerting was her youthful face, clearly not older than fifteen. Yet her outfit and striking figure gave off an unsettling vibe.
"What's wrong? Don't you think my figure is great, big pervert? Am I not much prettier than your lover?" The charming girl smirked with pride as she sat on the branch, her pale thighs swinging playfully in the air while looking at Sun Zhe. Her seductive voice carried a strong hint of provocation, leaving Sun Zhe feeling like he might spit blood.
"Where's your guardian? A brat trying to act mature with me..."
Sun Zhe casually sat back down again, his words undoubtedly driving the alluring girl to the brink of frustration.
