377: Chapter Thunder Forest, in the sky

Gu Yanxi's voice was cold, and for a moment, everyone was silent, no one daring to move.

After a moment, someone still stepped out and cupped his hands towards her.

"Sister Gu, thank you for your guidance. Your great kindness will never be forgotten, but this time, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you!"

The man's expression was solemn, his eyes flashing with cold light. After taking a deep breath, he said in a deep voice, "My mind is made up, I will leave."

Before he finished speaking, the strangely colored wings behind him suddenly unfurled. As the wings flapped, a powerful current of air swept over, and the man shot up into the sky like an arrow released from a bowstring.

However, surprisingly, he did not fly far away. Instead, he hovered in the air, his gaze slowly sweeping over the crowd below.

"Is there anyone willing to leave this place of trouble with me?"

The man shouted loudly, his voice like a great bell, echoing continuously in the air.

Among the crowd, there was first silence, followed by an angry roar: "Zhao Bin, you have some nerve! You dare to openly defect, you are simply seeking your own death!"

The speaker was none other than the figure as majestic as a mountain standing behind Gu Yanxi—Zhang Xiaofeng.

He was burly, his muscles bulging, like a small mobile pagoda mountain.

At this moment, he stepped out with an angry face, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly.

At the same time, the wings on his back suddenly spread, and a dazzling flash of lightning instantly enveloped his body.

Immediately after, the violent lightning power quickly gathered, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a lightning python as thick as a bucket, baring its fangs and claws, and shot towards Zhao Bin in the sky with a destructive force.

Facing the fierce attack, Zhao Bin showed no fear.

He let out a cold snort and replied disdainfully, "Zhang Xiaofeng, you have no desires or demands, do you still want to meddle in others' business?"

In fact, even before Zhang Xiaofeng spoke, Zhao Bin already had a countermeasure in mind.

He saw his right hand shoot forward like lightning and clench tightly. The next moment, a long spear shimmering with purple electric light appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The tip of this lightning spear was extremely sharp, entwined with electric light, emitting a heart-palpitating Aura.

Holding the long spear, Zhao Bin advanced instead of retreating. He pushed off with his feet, and his entire body shot towards the oncoming lightning python like a cannonball.

In an instant, purple lightning intertwined in the air, thunder roared, and both sides' momentum was extremely fierce, as if they wanted to tear this world apart.

Just as the two were about to engage in close combat and an earth-shattering battle was about to erupt, Gu Yanxi, who had been silent all along, finally made her move.

She lightly raised her jade hand, her slender fingers slightly bent, and streaks of blue lightning immediately gushed out from her fingertips.

These lightning bolts intertwined, forming a huge electric net, which swiftly appeared between Zhao Bin and Zhang Xiaofeng.

With a loud "boom", the lightning python slammed heavily into the electric net, stirring up countless sparks and chaotic currents.

And the spear that Zhao Bin thrust out was also firmly held back by the electric net, unable to advance even an inch.

"Enough!"

Gu Yanxi let out a sharp cry, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness, and she stared coldly at the two people who were still fighting. The powerful pressure emanating from her made the surrounding air become stagnant.

"Zhao Bin, if you want to leave, no one will stop you. The rest who want to leave can also leave. After this, if anyone still wants to leave, it will only be as a corpse."

As soon as she finished speaking, several figures immediately flew to Zhao Bin's side. They all cupped their hands and bowed to Gu Yanxi.

Whether it was sincere or not, at least they were extremely respectful on the surface.

And on this side, only seven people remained. Including Gu Yanxi, there were only eight people in total, the number had been directly halved.

"Let's go!"

Gu Yanxi glanced back at the seven people standing beside her, then directly flapped her wings and flew forward.

"Zhao Bin, you will regret this sooner or later."

Zhang Xiaofeng let out a low roar, turned around, and followed, leaving only Zhao Bin and the others looking at each other.

"Those people are usually silent, I didn't expect them to actually be willing to follow her."

"Hmph, going any further is just seeking death. Do you really think you can soar to the heavens after finding that so-called King?"

Someone was either mocking or comforting himself, but while speaking, they looked at Zhao Bin.

Because Zhao Bin was the strongest among them, or rather, one of the strongest few besides Gu Yanxi.

"Brother Bin, shall we return to Great Xia?"

One person asked uncertainly. Zhao Bin shook his head upon hearing this, "We can't go back. Have you forgotten that guy from the Dark Night Bar?"

When the few people recalled the black-haired man from back then, their hearts immediately trembled, but some still showed unwillingness, after all, they were all native Great Xia people.

Some of them also had relatives and friends in Great Xia. How could they be willing not to return now?

"With our current strength, are we still afraid of him?"

"Hehe, although we haven't found our so-called King, do you doubt his existence?"

A sharp glint flashed in Zhao Bin's eyes, "A figure who can be on par with the mysterious existence who created us, do you think you would be his opponent, or that we together would be his opponents?"

Everyone's expressions were not good, because they also realized this point.

"Then where do we go? Continue living like wild beasts in this Outside the Territory?"

One person turned around in frustration and punched out, directly shattering a large tree behind him into dust.

"Not returning to Great Xia, with our current strength, as long as we don't go deeper, self-preservation is not a problem. Moreover, we can go to other countries and still thrive."

A sharp light flashed in Zhao Bin's eyes, even with excitement. The others, upon hearing this, thought for a moment and also showed excitement.

A moment later, the group no longer continued forward and flew in the opposite direction from Gu Yanxi and the others.

Several days later, Gu Yanxi, Zhang Xiaofeng, and their group appeared dusty and weary in a mountainous forested area.

Along the way, they encountered countless difficulties and dangers. They even encountered several Martial Lord Realm demon beasts, it could be said they were constantly in peril.

When they stepped into this area, everyone was shocked by the scene before them.

They saw that the trees here were no longer the common emerald green, but instead a deep blue.

The gentle breeze brushed past, and the blue leaves swayed with the wind. Surprisingly, each sway would be accompanied by flashing electric light, as if these trees contained endless lightning power.

"We're here, finally here!"

Gu Yanxi, who had always had a cool expression, could not suppress the excitement in her heart at this moment. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with excitement, and even her voice trembled slightly.

Because she could clearly feel waves of palpitations coming from the depths of her soul, which meant that the target they had been searching for was nearby.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofeng, who was beside her, couldn't help but ask, "Sister Gu, is the King in this forest?"

His tone was low and suppressed, clearly filled with both anticipation and nervousness.

When the others heard this, they also turned their gazes towards Gu Yanxi, their eyes filled with eagerness and longing.

However, Gu Yanxi shook her head and said softly, "No, not on the ground, but in the sky!"
