Chapter 460: 460: Between Life and Death
Seeing the knife coming out, it almost reached him in an instant, with the speed probably a thousand times the speed of sound. Lin Zhen could only manage to make a defense.
Immovable like a mountain!
Clang~~!!
The huge impact caused the ground under Lin Zhen’s feet to crack, his chest surging with turmoil.
Xuanzhu also showed a surprised expression: “Yo! Not bad, you can actually block my critical attack. However, I have eighteen moves with my knife. Let’s see how many moves you can block!”
The blade was changing, and the second knife attacked like lightning!
Armorization!
Lin Zhen was not passively beaten. After the first knife, he immediately activated his armorization. His strength surged around his body, stomping heavily into the emperor’s body, transforming his spear into a wind to resist Xuanzhu’s attack.
Their clash caused the air to explode and the elements to rise, preventing others from approaching.
Seeing Lin Zhen start fighting, the dwarf Ni Ke’s first response was not to fight, but again to clear the way with her giant axe and dive into the ground.
The Dwarf Clan’s tunneling skills had been practiced to perfection and were a top-notch escaping technique.
The opponent surrounded and intercepted from above, chasing Ni Ke like chasing a ground mouse. It was a chaotic scene, but they couldn’t catch her.
After Lin Zhen went into armorization, he exchanged blows with Xuanzhu 17 times without retreating half a step!
However, Lin Zhen couldn’t block Xuanzhu’s eighteenth strike, as he gathered the massive Star Power of the Late Black Hole Stage. This knife already reached a transformed state, slashing Lin Zhen and his spear out.
Lin Zhen’s body flew like a cannonball, with Xuanzhu following closely, trying to finish him off in mid-air.
There was a trace of blood on the corner of Lin Zhen’s mouth. He was injured, but he didn’t feel discouraged. After Xuanzhu’s eighteen strikes, he got a moment to catch his breath.
As his body flew backward, a row of planets appeared.
Tianhe Star Explosion!
With a booming explosion, Lin Zhen laid out a layer of defense in front of him, forcing Xuanzhu to slow down in mid-air.
Although there was only a 0.1-second pause, it was enough for Lin Zhen. He flicked his long spear and unleashed the Phantom God Strike!
It was a strike that combined all of Lin Zhen’s spear techniques, not less powerful than Xuanzhu’s eighteen consecutive attacks— even more powerful.
This strike caused spatial turbulence, aiming straight for Xuanzhu’s throat!
“Profound Heaven Lock!”
Xuanzhu’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat, surprised by Lin Zhen’s proficiency in close-quarters combat. Each move and action of Lin Zhen was without waste, even in a disadvantageous situation, he could still launch such a sharp counterattack, forcing Xuanzhu to release his killing move!
With a wave of both hands, two cyan-colored currents gathered in the air into a giant lock, blocking Lin Zhen’s lethal strike!
It was Xuanzhu’s strongest defense, a divine talent.
At this moment, he had transformed into a giant scorpion, with two enormous pincers as the scorpion’s claws.
“Click! Click! Click!~~!!”
Neither of them expected to enter such a deadlock, which was the most dangerous situation.
If Xuanzhu couldn’t hold on, Lin Zhen would undoubtedly pierce him with his spear, and if Lin Zhen couldn’t hold on, this strike would retreat, sealing his loss.
The rising Star Power illuminated the sky, and the two forces collided forcefully, peeling off layers of the ground as if it was skin.
Xuanzhu’s face showed a sinister smile: “Lin Zhen, I have to say that he is really strong, the strongest genius I have ever seen. The Sanjiang Star Domain Federation might only have Feng Qingluan from twenty years ago to compare with you. However… I am glad to meet you before you have grown up fully.”
Lin Zhen gritted his teeth, unable to speak or even dare to speak. Xuanzhu’s absolute strength still exceeded his own, and Lin Zhen was in a more difficult situation. His Dantian Qi and Dark Star output made him fall into a disadvantage.
“If it were ten years later, I might not be your opponent, but today, prepare to meet your end here!”
Xuanzhu roared, and eight flying knives flew out simultaneously!
These eight flying knives were all Artifacts, not inferior to Lin Zhen’s Seven Stars Knife. They flew towards Lin Zhen from different angles!
Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power also exploded. The Seven Stars Knife soared into the sky as the two fought for their lives. Fifteen flying knives fiercely clashed in mid-air!
At this moment, the slight difference in Spiritual Power was evident.
Lin Zhen’s sky-blue Spiritual Power was at 80%, while Xuanzhu’s was close to 90%. The extra flying knife he controlled immediately put Lin Zhen in a desperate situation!
“Hahaha! Lin Zhen, stop struggling in vain! This knife can end your life!”
As the blades intertwined, Lin Zhen’s control of the knife still fell short of Xuanzhu’s. The opponent had clearly learned the method of controlling knives, revealing Lin Zhen’s impending defeat.
Of course, Lin Zhen couldn’t just lose like that. With a thought, his double appeared from the Dark Star Space, determined to fight!
“Xuanzhu! Your life ends here!”
The moment his split body with the strength of Black Hole Early Stage appeared, Lin Zhen’s Cliff Corner Spear trembled, the fiery red scales on his body underwent armorization, and he blocked the knife that was aimed at his main body. At the same time, he launched his full force onto Xuanzhu in a fatal blow!
Xuanzhu’s face turned pale; he never expected that Lin Zhen had a split body.
In a life-or-death situation like this, any unexpected factor could determine the outcome. Xuanzhu didn’t give up; his Spiritual Power activated once again as he launched a blazing red needle, at an extremely fast speed, towards Lin Zhen’s heart!
This needle was not ordinary; it came from the tail of an Advanced Galaxy Beast, the Chaotic Heaven Scorpion. It had the strongest strike speed, and with Xuanzhu’s Spiritual Power adding to its power, the speed of this attack surpassed that of Lin Zhen’s split body.
“Haha! Lin Zhen, after your main body dies, your split body will be useless! My needle is driven by Spiritual Power, and even though your Spiritual Power is stronger than mine, you should face your death obediently!”
With a flash of red light, the speed of this needle reached nearly sub-light speed!
“Damn it!”
Lin Zhen knew he couldn’t dodge the needle. At this moment, his only option to turn the tables was the evolved version of the Black Hole Beast’s innate talent, the Black Hole Storm!
Theoretically, the Black Hole Storm could devour everything within the event horizon, including light. However, Lin Zhen’s own speed hadn’t reached that level yet. Deploying the Black Hole Storm might not necessarily be able to devour the needle from the Chaotic Heaven Scorpion’s tail.
However, he believed that he could definitely kill Xuanzhu. As for whether or not he could survive the blow from the Chaotic Heaven Scorpion’s tail, it was all up to fate!
Lin Zhen felt a bit of regret at this moment, thinking that his Spiritual Power was powerful enough. That might be true for an enemy below Constant Star Stage, but it didn’t work well against an opponent who surpassed Constant Star Stage.
The main reason the battle had reached this stalemate was not just Xuanzhu’s powerful Late Black Hole stage strength but also Lin Zhen’s inability to influence his opponent’s Spiritual Power, allowing Xuanzhu to do whatever he pleased.
“If only I had learned the psychic evil spirit shock, it wouldn’t have come to this. I was too impatient and overconfident.”
With gritted teeth, Lin Zhen prepared to unleash the Black Hole Storm.
At this critical moment, a beam of light came from the sky, hitting the needle on Xuanzhu’s tail!
A sub-light speed attack!
The two were already at a stalemate, battling for their lives. The introduction of this third force broke the balance and instantly separated the two.
“Who’s there?!”
Infuriated, Xuanzhu retreated and glared into the distance.
Lin Zhen also took advantage of this opportunity to retreat, his main body and split body side by side, curious about who intervened.
Off in the distance stood four women side by side, one of them wearing a purple dress and holding an unidentified cylindrical object. The beam of light had come from it.
“You four worthless girls from Qing Luan Society! You dare to stand against me!” Xuanzhu roared, shocked that the women from Qing Luan Society had interfered.
The woman in the purple dress disdainfully glanced at Xuanzhu. “We don’t have the interest to deal with scum like you. I saved him because he once saved Qing’er.”
She then turned towards the woman wearing a green dress beside her and asked, “Qing’er, is he the one who saved you?”
“Yes, Sister Zi’er, he saved me by the Santu River. Although I was not in mortal danger at that time, Sister Qing Luan has told us that even if we are involved with gangs, we must not forget the kindness of others.”
After saying this, the woman in the green dress addressed Lin Zhen: “Hey! Thanks for helping me out. We’re even now. Take care of yourself and go!”
She then waved her hand, signaling Lin Zhen to leave quickly.
Lin Zhen didn’t expect these female gangsters to have a sense of gratitude. He felt slightly relieved in his heart. He didn’t want to take a risky gamble if he didn’t have to, although Xuanzhu would have died and perhaps he could survive himself.
He paid his respects to the women with a fist before suddenly turning around andcharging towards the ground.
Both his main body and split body acted simultaneously, causing a group of Heavenly Tower members who were chasing Ni Ke to fall to the ground.
“Ni Ke! Stop hiding in holes! Let’s go!”
Upon hearing Lin Zhen’s voice, Ni Ke, who was chased till her butt was on fire, shot out from the ground and was pulled away by Lin Zhen as they quickly retreated into the distance.
Xuanzhu’s face turned ashen. Although he wanted to chase and kill them, the weapons held by the ladies of Qing Luan Society were still pointed at him. These were left behind by Feng Qing Luan herself. He had to be cautious, but he had no choice but to watch as Lin Zhen escaped.
“You lucky bastard! You better make sure I never see you again, or you won’t be this lucky next time!”
Lin Zhen didn’t pay him any attention and fled with the dwarf.
The four beauties of Qing Luan Society gave Xuanzhu a disdainful look before leaving as well.
Xuanzhu stood there, motionless, watching the people from Qing Luan society leave.
At this moment, Jin Haonan walked up to Xuanzhu. “Boss, are we just letting them go like this? We were about to win today.”
“What can we do if we don’t let them go? Now is not the time to completely turn against Qing Luan Society. But don’t worry, after this six reincarnation event ends, I will make those women of Qing Luan Society pay a bloody price!”
“That’s great! Boss, can you let me play with these four women when the time comes?”
“Play with them as you wish. After Feng Qing Luan left, the women in the Qing Luan Society thought they were unstoppable as they used to be. But their time has long passed. After this World Stone event, the Qing Luan Society will collapse.”
