“Brat, you actually survived?”
Sun Rui’s voice was icy, and the full pressure of his Condensing Origin Realm tenth-level cultivation bore down on Terra Su.
Sun Rui hadn’t expected that these two would spend six hours in the valley where the Thunder Beast resided and come out unscathed, making their wait in vain.
Moreover, the thought of Terra Su killing so many members of the Sun Family made Sun Rui’s blood boil.
“It seems you two are quite lucky not to have been caught by the Thunder Beast. However, just because the Thunder Beast didn’t kill you doesn’t mean I won’t. Anyone who challenges the Sun Family’s authority must die!”
With a murderous wave of his hand, Sun Rui signaled a group of Sun Family experts to block Terra Su and Gu Qianyin’s escape route, leaving them with no chance to flee.
“Wait.”
Terra Su spoke leisurely, “I have something to say.”
“Kid, you’re at death’s door, what could you possibly have to say?”
“Hmph, let him speak. He’s going to die anyway; letting him say his last words is a rare mercy from the Sun Family.”
Several Sun Family Elders sneered coldly.
“Everyone, I didn’t know those were your Sun Family members earlier. I accidentally killed them, and I sincerely apologize.”
Terra Su spoke slowly, but his tone lacked any real sincerity.
“Apologize?”
The Sun Family Elders looked at each other, feeling that this apology was rather odd. Accidentally killed them? Those were Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level experts, not chickens.
“Kid, I think you’re begging for mercy because you know you’re about to die. But it’s too late. You killed our Sun Family members, you must die!”
“Hmph, now you regret it? Too late to be scared now!”
“Killing the Sun Family’s Elders and direct descendants can’t be brushed off with a mere apology.”
The Sun Family Elders all snorted coldly, convinced that the kid knew he couldn’t escape the Sun Family’s punishment and was begging for mercy. But it was too late; the Sun Family wouldn’t let him go.
“Hall Master, I think we should stop wasting words with this kid and just kill him,” an Elder suggested.
Sun Rui nodded, his face dark, “Kid, are you ready to die?”
As he spoke, Sun Rui gathered True Essence in his palm, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Terra Su.
“I have a treasure to offer the Sun Family.”
At this critical moment, Terra Su’s calm voice rang out again.
“A treasure?”
Sun Rui paused, his face showing a hint of interest, “What treasure? Show it to me!”
“This treasure has been dear to me for a long time. I’m offering it as an apology, hoping the Sun Family will let us leave the Skywind Mountains in peace.”
Terra Su smiled slightly as he spoke.
“What treasure? Show it first.”
Sun Rui urged, intrigued by Terra Su’s mysterious demeanor.
Moreover, with Terra Su and Gu Qianyin firmly in his grasp, Sun Rui wasn’t in a hurry. He could see what treasure Terra Su had to offer, and if it wasn’t satisfactory, he could kill him then.
“Everyone, please look.”
Terra Su took out the Thunder Beast’s egg from his robe and placed it on the ground, signaling Gu Qianyin to do the same.
“What is that?”
“Two balls?”
The Sun Family members gathered around, examining the two eggs.
Since the eggs were perfectly round rather than oval, they didn’t recognize them as eggs at first. They only saw two balls, one purple and one red, emitting a mysterious glow with intricate, arcane patterns, resembling works of art.
Moreover, the eggs continuously emitted pure Spiritual Qi, as rich as the finest rare treasures.
“What are these? I’ve never seen anything like them.”
Sun Rui was secretly amazed. He had never seen or heard of such treasures.
But as a Condensing Origin Realm tenth-level expert, he could tell these two balls were extraordinarily precious.
“What’s the origin of these balls?” Sun Rui asked.
“I don’t know their origin, but ever since I obtained them, just absorbing a bit of their Spiritual Qi allowed me to break through from Condensing Origin Realm fourth-level to fifth-level, and my combat power increased tenfold, enabling me to fight Condensing Origin Realm eighth-level experts.”
Terra Su smiled sincerely, making it hard to tell he was lying.
However, Gu Qianyin, standing beside him, was inwardly shocked. Terra Su was lying without batting an eye, attributing his incredible progress to the eggs. Who could resist such temptation?
Sure enough, Sun Rui and the other Sun Family Elders’ eyes changed, a barely suppressed fervor shining through as they stared unblinkingly at the eggs.
In fact, the eggs, nourished by the spirit spring, were indeed powerful rare treasures, but not as miraculous as Terra Su claimed.
However, Sun Rui and the others believed Terra Su’s words. If the eggs were truly that miraculous, obtaining them could help them reach the Transforming Realm.
Moreover, they never considered the possibility that the eggs were Thunder Beast eggs. To them, Terra Su was lucky to have survived the Thunder Beast, let alone steal its eggs. If he had, he wouldn’t be standing here; he’d be dead in the valley.
“Hmph, indeed good stuff. I’ll accept these on behalf of the Sun Family.”
Suppressing his inner excitement, Sun Rui feigned indifference and reached out to take the eggs.
But Terra Su was faster, swiftly retrieving the eggs into his robe.
“Changed your mind?”
Sun Rui snorted coldly.
“Not at all. But you must promise not to kill us, or I’ll destroy these treasures rather than give them to you.”
Terra Su said.
Sun Rui’s expression changed slightly.
He was genuinely afraid Terra Su would go down with the ship. Terra Su’s life was insignificant, but if the treasures were destroyed, it would be a great loss. Especially for him, losing such a treasure would be worse than death.
“Young man, what’s your name?”
Sun Rui immediately softened his tone, retracting his pressure and killing intent, even changing how he addressed Terra Su.
“Terra Su.”
“Alright, Terra Su, young man, seeing your sincerity, I promise not to kill you if you hand over the treasures.”
Sun Rui said with a smile.
