Chapter 190 - 190: 190: Taking a Risk (Eighth Update)
“Haha! Didn’t expect that, did you? Not only do I have a Star Weapon Spear, but I also have Star Device Armor to protect my body. Lin Zhen, I doubt you have any room to use your teleportation now, so just die!”
Seeing Yue Feng’s Star Device Armor, Lin Zhen suddenly had a headache.
Star Devices were weapons used by Star Crystal Warriors, and the ones that occasionally fell into the human world were basically in the hands of experts.
For example, Li Tianhao’s father, Li Wanfeng, was barely considered an expert, and he managed to obtain a Star Device for his son.
But compared to Yue Feng’s father, Yue Zhenhua, Li Wanfeng was nothing.
Yue Zhenhua was the head of the Capital’s Gale several years ago and was already a War God Peak master. Some even said that Yue Zhenhua might have reached the Star Realm by now.
Lin Zhen didn’t know if Yue Zhenhua was in the Star Realm now, but he knew that later on, Yue Zhenhua did indeed become a Star Realm Warrior.
War God masters rarely traveled to other places, as they were usually exploring ancient god ruins. Thus, it was normal for some of them to have Star Devices.
As an outstanding figure among the War Gods, Yue Zhenhua naturally had Star Devices. To ensure his son’s safety inside the Star Fruit Tree, not only did he send Ding Sheng and the Four Gods to protect him, but he also gave his son a Star Device. This spear and armor alone were enough to give ordinary War
Gods a headache.
Although Yue Feng’s head and feet were not protected by the Star Device Armor, it was unrealistic for Lin Zhen to use teleportation to hit his weak points while moving at high speed.
After all, after teleporting to a certain space, Lin Zhen still needed a small reaction time, which was a fatal weakness.
So, teleportation was not omnipotent and not enough for Lin Zhen to crush Yue Feng, who had completed the Nine Layers Compression and consumed four Special Stargems to advance to War God.
Having no other choice, Lin Zhen raised the bright silver spear in his hand, fully displaying his skills, and fought on equal ground with Yue Feng.
Stormy Long River was used repeatedly, sometimes flying, sometimes teleporting, sometimes bursting out Golden Qi Beams, and sometimes defending immovable like a mountain. The battle between the two was
They fought from the outside of the palace to the inside, with a series of roars and collisions constantly ringing in their ears. Waves of energy were overflowing, continuously hitting the main hall. The wood structure couldn’t withstand such impact, and it began to collapse and crumble.
Boom!
A wave of energy hit a wooden pillar, and the main hall finally collapsed with a loud crash.
“Lin Zhen! Come up into the sky!”
Yue Feng, excited by the battle, stepped on a shield and rose into the air. He was also a Spiritual Mind Master who had consumed Spiritual Power stargems. Now that he had advanced to War God, his Spiritual Realm was actually just like Lin Zhen’s – both were at the Dark Gold Early Stage.
Under such circumstances, Lin Zhen did not dare to recklessly use Mental Shock, so he also stepped on a shield and took to the air.
The two turned into two rays of light, constantly fighting and spiraling in the sky above the palace. The booming sounds of their collisions echoed in their ears, and the battle between the two was actually more shocking than the group battle of hundreds of people below.
After fighting for a while, Ye Lanshan felt that her breathing was unable to keep up with the demand.
Though she and Dong Shencai had managed to kill many warriors together, each of these warriors had compressed their Dantian qi. Moreover, she had been inside the Star Fruit Tree for two days, her qi was being rejected by the tree, her meridians were blocked, and she couldn’t stay any longer.
“Shencai, we can’t keep dragging this out. No one else can help in Lin Zhen and
Yue Feng’s battle, so let’s just leave.”
“Yeah, I can’t hold on any longer either.”
Although Ye Lanshan couldn’t kill the group of compressed warriors in front of her, no one could stop her from leaving if she wanted to.
With Dong Shencai in tow, she forcibly broke through a bloody path and escaped from the Sky Dome.
Dong Shencai had also completed the Seven Layers compression and didn’t want to stay any longer either. He followed Ye Lanshan towards the platform, intending to leave the Star Fruit Tree.
These warriors could neither stop Ye Lanshan nor get involved in Lin Zhen and Yue Feng’s battle, so they could only watch helplessly from below as the two fought on.
“Clang! ”
After a huge impact, the bright silver spear in Lin Zhen’s hand finally completed its mission. It couldn’t withstand Yue Feng’s Star Weapon Spear and was broken into two pieces from the center.
“Haha! Without your weapon, what can you do now?”
Yue Feng’s speed was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Lin Zhen, his spear stabbing like a poisonous dragon!
Whoosh!
Lin Zhen’s figure disappeared from his original spot and reappeared behind Yue Feng. But Yue Feng unexpectedly had a follow-up move, doing a fierce counter-stab with the back of his spear. This move was extremely tricky and caught Lin Zhen off guard!
“Clang! ”
The liquid metal turned into an arm shield and barely blocked Yue Feng’s counter-stab.
However, the liquid metal ultimately couldn’t withstand the Star Weapon Spear, and it ended up being pierced through. Lin Zhen’s arm had a small cut and blood stained the spear.
Yue Feng looked at the blood on the end of his spear and sneered, “Lin Zhen, are you running out of tricks? Your teleportation speed has already slowed down a lot since the beginning. It seems you’re tired as well.”
Lin Zhen indeed was tired from killing two hundred people at Heavenly Gate,
using all his energy and Dantian qi to break into it, fighting Ding Sheng, and facing the more powerful Yue Feng. It was commendable that he could still hold on until now.
You’re actually bleeding.Originally, I still had a trump card to deal with you, but now it seems that it’s not necessary. With my means alone, I can easily defeat you, Lin Zhen. Don’t think of escaping by using telekinesis. This kind of thing is not only known by you alone.”
Lin Zhen looked up at Yue Feng, “At least you don’t know it.”
That’s right, I don’t know it. I also don’t know how you learned this secret move that only Star Realm Warriors can use, but I do know its weakness.”
Lin Zhen’s expression changed. When a martial artist reaches Star Realm, the Dantian qi in their body transforms into Star Power, allowing them to perform short-distance teleportation by breaking through space.
Although Star Power teleportation and psychokinesis are different, they have similar principles, and both can be interrupted.
When Spiritual Mind Masters perform teleportation, they use spiritual power as the driving force. When you are particularly weak, it becomes difficult to perform. At this time, if there is a spiritual mind master of the same level nearby, they can interrupt your teleportation with a mental shock.
Although Yue Feng could not perform psychokinesis teleportation, as a Dark Gold level spiritual mind master, he could still perform mental shocks. Now that Lin Zhen’s spiritual power was greatly consumed, when he executed teleportation, there would inevitably be spiritual fluctuations, Yue Feng could interrupt it with a mental shock.
Sure enough, Yue Feng continued, “If you were at your strongest, perhaps I wouldn’t be able to do much, but now, Lin Zhen, it’s best not to show off. You don’t even have the chance to flee anymore.”
Lin Zhen let out a long breath, “Maybe not.”
“If you don’t believe it, you can try and see if you still have a chance.”
Lin Zhen looked around. It was no longer possible for him to fight Yue Feng head-on. Although his spiritual power could still hold on for a while, continuing to fight and consuming too much might mean he couldn’t even flee.
“I must find a place to rest. The previous battle has consumed me greatly. Ideally, I could find a Star Crystal and advance to War God. Otherwise, I still won’t be able to defeat the promoted Yue Feng.”
With that thought, Lin Zhen suddenly plunged down at high speed, heading straight for the group of martial artists on the ground.
“Not good!”
Yue Feng was startled. If Lin Zhen entered the crowd, it would be difficult for him to lock on to Lin Zhen in the chaotic situation, and if he performed teleportation, he might have the possibility of escaping.
With this thought, Yue Feng disregarded everything and chased after the crowd.
“Get out of the way!”
The crowd scattered, and the very next moment, Lin Zhen had teleported to the Heavenly Gate.
“Don’t think about escaping!”
Yue Feng had already promoted to War God, and his speed, strength, and explosive power had reached an incredible realm. In the blink of an eye, he chased Lin Zhen to Heavenly Gate.
Lin Zhen teleported once more, and Yue Feng fiercely caught up.
Lin Zhen attempted to teleport for the third time, but was interrupted by Yue Feng.
The two resumed their fight and soon returned to the Heavenly Gate.
Lin Zhen finally felt the crisis. It was dangerous to continue this way, but he couldn’t shake off Yue Feng’s pursuit. Where could he go?
Clang!
Lin Zhen’s liquid metal transformed into an arm shield, blocking another upward thrust from the spear, and was knocked straight into the sky, his arm numb.
Looking up at the approaching tree canopy, Lin Zhen’s thoughts raced.
Since they had reached this point, it was time for a desperate gamble.
Lin Zhen believed there was one place where Yue Feng could never pursue him:
the outermost layer of the Star Fruit Tree, specifically the layer of highly corrosive tree leaves outside.
This layer of leaves was very thick, several meters deep and littered with leaves. Only occasionally would sunlight filter through.
Even Lin Zhen’s instant teleportation couldn’t penetrate this leaf layer in one move. If he were to rush in, he would surely be tightly wrapped by these leaves.
Ignoring the numbness in his arm, Lin Zhen kicked the shield under his feet, launching it at the approaching Yue Feng. In the moment Yue Feng dodged, Lin Zhen executed his telekinetic teleportation!
His body disappeared and reappeared with the liquid metal forming a shield, flying straight towards the leaves at the top of the Sky Dome Fruit Tree.
“You little fool! You’re seeking death!”
Yue Feng, who was unable to interrupt Lin Zhen’s teleportation due to avoiding the shield earlier, was now at a small distance and chased after him in a hurry. Not long after, he watched Lin Zhen fly a short distance before teleporting once more, entering the corrosive leaf layer!
As soon as he entered, the leaves came to life, tightly enveloping Lin Zhen, leaving no gap. Teleportation was now impossible!
Yue Feng chased after Lin Zhen to the edge of the corrosive leaf layer but didn’t dare to follow any further. He paced outside before finally settling down on a nearby tree branch.
“Lin Zhen, I want to see if you can survive in there. The corrosive leaves can even dissolve metal. Only when you’re completely rotten will the leaves open up.. I want to see how long you can last!”
