Chapter 112 - 112: Lin Zhen ‘s Surprise Attack (Six more eruptions!)
“Big brother, if this spear were intact, it could be sold for a hundred or eighty grand. Too bad it’s broken.”
Xiao Tianyou picked up Lin Zhen’s damaged Black Dragon Spear and said to Xiao Tianzuo.
Xiao Tianzuo glanced at it and commented: “Trash, even in good condition it wouldn’t be of any use, just throw it away.”
Xiao Tianyou swung his arm, tossing Lin Zhen’s Black Dragon Spear far away.
Both men went in different directions, rummaging through the piles of the dead. Xiao Tianyou’s path led him to Lin Zhen’s hiding spot.
Lin Zhen lay in the snow, blending in perfectly with no sign of his presence, waiting for Xiao Tianyou to approach.
Five meters in front of Lin Zhen was a dead soldier, and there he left a long sword he hadn’t had time to retrieve. Lin Zhen predicted Xiao Tianyou would arrive there soon enough.
Indeed, after a few steps, Xiao Tianyou’s eyes lit up as he saw the long sword up ahead.
“Haha! Found something nice; I’ve hit the jackpot!”
Xiao Tianyou excitedly headed towards the long sword and bent over to pick it up.
The moment his hand was about to touch the long sword, he suddenly felt a surge of alarm inside him!
Not just him, Xiao Tianzuo who was in sync with him, at almost the same time sensed the impending danger and immediately shouted: “Second brother!”
Lou Qingfeng, who had been feigning sleep beside Li Tianhao, also suddenly opened his eyes, a silver cold light glitteing with specks of golden twinkle in them, clearly feeling that the situation had changed.
At this moment, Lin Zhen struck with fury!
There was a loud explosion in the snow as if a land mine had been detonated. Lin Zhen burst out, stirring up a flurry of snow, reaching Xiao Tianyou in a blink of an eye. The spear with the smell of death brought a sky full of spear lights sweeping over him.
Although Xiao Tianyou was caught off guard, he did not panic. He directly used the long sword on the ground to swing a fierce stroke against Lin Zhen!
“Hahaha! A pearl of rice also has some splendor. Lin Zhen, your feeble spear might work on the rookies, but using it against me is just humiliating!”
Xiao Tianyou was born a Divine Power User. Even a long sword in his hand could showcase great power. He made up his mind to teach this audacious boy a hard lesson.
On the other side, Xiao Tianzuo was also speeding towards them. The distance between the two was no more than 50 meters, and it would take Xiao Tianzuo only three seconds to reach them.
In Xiao Tianyou’s eyes, Lin Zhen’s spear was showy but lacked killing power. His sword aimed at its vital points should be enough to break his attack.
His plan was flawless, but Lin Zhen could change tactics.
The “Storm” which had just appeared disappeared in an instant. The sky filled with spear light reduced from hundreds of thousands to a single thrust. This simple thrust, with the acceleration of Lightning Ion, thundered straight at Xiao Tianyou’s chest!
“Good spear!”
Xiao Tianyou roared, his forehead breaking out in sweat instantly.
Lin Zhen’s seemingly simple and ordinary spear gave him a feeling as though thousands of troops and horses were rushing at him. The spear lit up like a torrential downpour, covering the sky but not necessarily fatal. This spear was like a thunderbolt, as long as it hit, it surely meant death!
At this moment, he displayed his power as an Advanced War General. He wielded the sword with both hands, concentrating all his strength to withstand this spear. Although it was tough to use a sword to block a spear, he had to
hold on. As long as he could hold on for two seconds, Xiao Tianzuo would reach, and Lin Zhen would inevitably be defeated!
At this time, there was a sudden glint of gold in Lin Zhen’s eyes, and three daggers appeared out of thin air, flying straight at Xiao Tianyou’s eyes and throat!
“Spiritual Mind Master!”
Lou Qingfeng who had been standing beside Li Tianhao without moving, exclaimed in surprise at this moment.
So that’s why! No wonder Lin Zhen could accomplish so many things. This guy turned out to be a Spiritual Mind Master, judging by his ability to control three daggers simultaneously, he likely was at the late stage of the Silver level.
“Quite the gifted kid, Xiao Tianyou’s in danger. But, this makes things more interesting.”
Lou Qingfeng’s eyes sparkled, and for the first time, he had an irresistible urge to take action.
Xiao Tianzuo was speeding toward them, but he couldn’t solve the crisis facing Xiao Tianyou.
Left with no choice, Xiao Tianyou could only continue to hold the long sword against Lin Zhen’s spear. With his eyes tightly shut, he quickly lowered his head, trying his best to avoid hitting his eyes and throat.
Lin Zhen’s flying daggers swooshed past, leaving three deep gashes on Xiao Tianyou’s head, spraying blood everywhere!
Though it didn’t hit a vital spot, the pain caused Xiao Tianyou’s grip to reflexively loosen.
At this moment, the shining spear came!
As the spear and sword collided, Lin Zhen thrust with full force, Xiao Tianyou struggled to parry, but being a disadvantage of the sword as a shorter weapon, and with Xiao Tianyou’s grip loosening, he failed to resist Lin Zhen.
An unpleasant metal friction sound was heard.
“Zhigagagaga!”
“Thump!”
Lowering his head, Xiao Tianyou saw the shining spear pass through his chest, piercing his heart and coming out the other side!
“What…what powerful strength!”
Despite being somewhat on the defensive, Xiao Tianyou was an Advanced War General after all, a natural Divine Power User at that. Even if he was at a disadvantage with his weapon, he should have been able to crush a non-natural Divine Power User of a Junior War General in power struggle.
But in that moment of straightforward power clash, he lost!
He lost cleanly, pierced by Lin Zhen’s single spear thrust!
This meant that even if he was in perfect health and armed, his strength was still not enough to surpass Lin Zhen’s, which was unimaginable for him.
But once defeated, he was dead; there was no chance for a comeback.
Xiao Tianzuo moved closer, but Xiao Tianyou staggered backward, collapsing like a falling pillar. He was planning to attack Lin Zhen, but when he saw his brother fall, his first instinct was to reach out to catch him.
At that moment, he forgot that the deadly spear tip was still embedded in his brother’s back, and the spear was held by Lin Zhen who was opposite him.
Seeing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Lin Zhen didn’t hesitate at all and thrust his spear forward once again!
The spear tip once again pierced into Xiao Tianzuo’s chest, tying the two brothers together.
However, this thrust was not lethal. Xiao Tianzuo instinctively grabbed with both hands, and the spear stopped mere inches from his heart.
As expected from a Natural Divine Power User and an Advanced War General, he was able to grip Lin Zhen’s spear!
Just as Xiao Tianzuo prepared to counterattack, he felt a strong suction force coming from in front of him.
“Thud ! ”
The spear pierced through his body again, skewering his heart!
Xiao Tianzuo looked incredulously at the spear lodged in his chest. Until his last breath, he couldn’t understand how he died, why he suddenly lunged into the spear.
Lin Zhen also secretly sighed in relief. There was some luck involved in this victory. Of course, his sudden application of gravity was something the enemy could never have anticipated.
Xiao Tianzuo’s eyes quickly dimmed, and he fell beside Xiao Tianyou.
Lin Zhen pulled out his spear and turned his eyes to Li Tianhao at the bottom of the building.
“Young Master Li, your turn is coming up.”
The entire fight only lasted six or seven seconds. Li Tianhao hadn’t even had a chance to react before the Xiao brothers were killed.
“Lin… Lin Zhen!” A stunned Li Tianhao blurted out.
Then Li Tianhao faced Lou Qingfeng angrily and said, “Mr. Lou, why didn’t you do anything? Lin Zhen has killed the Xiao brothers!”
Lou Qingfeng merely shook his head: “Young Master, my only task is to ensure your safety. If Lin Zhen attacked you, I would not sit idly by, but other people are not under my protection.”
“Enough! Lin Zhen has killed the Xiao brothers. There are only a few of us left. You can kill him now, I don’t need your protection anymore!” Li Tianhao could no longer stand it and yelled angrily.
Lou Qingfeng also wanted to fight Lin Zhen but was stopped by his duty to protect Li Tianhao. However, now that Li Tianhao had given the order, he prepared to take action.
Still, he was somewhat uneasy: “Young Master, there’s no certain win in this world. Although I’m highly confident of winning, I still need to settle some things in case of my failure…”
“Mr. Lou, rest assured, if you fail, Old Hu can hold him off for a while. Besides, if you fail, I don’t think anyone else in Zhao Dong can protect me.”
Hearing Li Tianhao say this, Lou Qingfeng felt relieved: “Young Master, then just sit back and watch as I deal with Lin Zhen.”
“Kill him! Kill him and you don’t have to pay anyone else the thirty billion, it’s all yours!”
Lou Qingfeng’s eyes lit up: “Then Young Master, please prepare the money!”
With that said, he turned away from Lou Qingfeng and strode towards Lin Zhen.
Along the way, a strange disc appeared in Lou Qingfeng’s hand.
The disc was about a meter in diameter, with five sword handles on it. As he walked, he placed the disc on his back, reached out, grabbed one of the sword handles, and pulled it out.
A flash of cold light swept across, and a long sword appeared in his hand.
“Lin Zhen, I have to admit that you’re a genius. At such a young age, you are a Natural Divine Speedster and a Mental Power Master, having cultivated your mental power to a certain degree. But it’s a pity, you met me and your path as a
genius ends here.”
Lin Zhen waved his bright silver spear, assuming a defensive stance: “Lou Qingfeng, stop the pointless bragging. I know you’re a Mental Power Master too. Since I dared to come, I have the confidence to take you down. Come on! If you can force me to step back, then that would be proof of your ability.” “Haha! You say I can’t repel you, what a conceited youngster. Well, let’s see about that!”
With that, Lou Qingfeng pushed off the ground, suddenly soaring into the air.
His sword leading the way, he rotated in mid-air, making his way towards Lin Zhen. The waves of Sword Qi formed a torrent, carrying an unparalleled momentum as it slammed into Lin Zhen!
“This is… Sword River!”
Once Lou Qingfeng made his move, Lin Zhen knew that his foundation and sword skills were at an extremely high level, making his Sword Qi like a massive river, which was beyond Lin Zhen himself.
That didn’t unnerve Lin Zhen at all. He was taut as a drawn bow.
Just as Lou Qingfeng came close, Lin Zhen made his move!
Fly!
Lin Zhen didn’t try to resist Lou Qingfeng, instead using his Mental Power Master’s flight ability to leap up, soaring into the sky like a falcon pouncing on a rabbit, heading straight for Li Tianhao at the bottom of the building!
“Damn it! I fell for the kid’s trick. He wasn’t even targeting me!” Unable to stop his aggressive advance, Lou Qingfeng felt a chill in his heart, as if it was winter..
