Ying Sha, a Perfected Expert, could only watch helplessly as Lin Zhen's Thundercloud sped away.
At this moment, he was filled with regret.
He had made some mistakes in this battle—he had underestimated his opponent. In the past, such things would not have counted as mistakes. With his overwhelming strength as a Perfected Expert, he could still have succeeded.
But Lin Zhen's performance had truly exceeded his expectations. That string of Shadowless Steps remained fresh in Ying Sha's mind.
His swordsmanship and that incredibly swift Thundercloud had completely overturned Ying Sha's understanding of Lin Zhen.
"This guy is only at the God Realm Peak. If he enters the God Stone Realm, I'm afraid even winning against him will become difficult."
"No. This person must be eliminated. Though he has escaped for now, he is still heading to Tian Huo City and will still participate in the Tian Huo War. The monk may run, but the temple cannot!"
However, Ying Sha could not pursue him now. The recent battle had left him seriously injured as well. To interrupt Lin Zhen's sudden eruption, he had forcibly activated his bloodline power and suffered injuries because of it.
"Lin Zhen, I hope you won't be killed by someone else during this time. Your life will remain in your possession for now. Once I recover, I will come take it myself!"
Ying Sha found a concealed small asteroid and began tending to his injuries.
Riding the Thundercloud, Lin Zhen left the stellar explosion zone. Looking back at the light and shadow growing farther and farther away in the starry sky, he felt some regret.
What a pity. He had failed to seize this opportunity of a stellar explosion. His breakthrough into the God Stone Realm would have to be delayed for some time.
