Chapter 195 - 195: 195: Star Strike (Third Update)
Yue Feng’s disappeared Star Weapon Spear reappeared, blocking Lin Zhen’s sword. Then, he rolled out from under Lin Zhen’s feet.
“Hmph! I knew you weren’t dead. What are you playing at? You think I’d give you a chance?” Lin Zhen sneered and slowly approached with his sword in hand. Even if Yue Feng wasn’t dead, there was no way he could turn the situation around at this point.
At this moment, another rumble of thunder echoed through the sky, and a torrential downpour started.
Yue Feng sat up in the rain, looking extremely miserable. When Lin Zhen stomped down earlier, Yue Feng’s shoulder shook, pushing his armor up a bit to block Lin Zhen’s foot. However, his face was a mess.
His entire face was full of wounds from the wood chips, one of his eyes might be blinded, his nose was sunken in, and several of his teeth had fallen out. His face was covered in blood, and as the rain soaked his hair, he looked unbelievably pitiful.
But Yue Feng could still speak, and he could still move his hands and feet. He shouted at Lin Zhen: “Lin Zhen, don’t push people too far! You ruined my wedding first, killed my companions after, and now you’ve beaten me up like this. What more do you want? Do you really need to kill me? Don’t forget, you’re also a member of Gale, and Ice City’s Gale Martial Arts Hall is under the jurisdiction of the Capital City Headquarters. Elder Dongfang Jun is also a member of Gale. Dare you kill me? Don’t you want to mix with Gale anymore?”
Lin Zhen looked down at Yue Feng: “Yue Feng, I think you still haven’t understood one thing. Your wedding was nothing more than a farce of your own making. You imprisoned Ming Yue, how could I not take revenge on you for that? And as for the so-called killing of your companions, have you ever treated these people as companions?”
As he spoke, Lin Zhen suddenly turned to look at the Martial Artists behind him, who had fallen silent in fear: “You tell me! Which of you is worthy of being Yue Feng’s companion?”
These Martial Artists looked at each other in hesitation, not speaking.
Yue Feng had never had any real companions, he only cared about himself. These Martial Artists present were nothing more than dogs he’d raised.
“See? You have no companions. As for the Capital City Gale Martial Arts Hall you mentioned, yes, I am a member of Gale. However, I am first and foremost a person. I have my own emotions, my own priorities, and your actions have crossed the line of what I can tolerate, so I have to deal with you. As for what
Gale will do to me in the future, I will just have to face it!”
Upon hearing Lin Zhen’s decisive words, Yue Feng’s heart became cold.
He never expected someone to not care about their own status, especially someone from Gale. Did he not care about his position in the first Martial Arts Hall?
Although Yue Feng had doubts, seeing Lin Zhen approach with his sword, the powerless him couldn’t take it anymore.
“Lin Zhen, don’t force me! If you come any closer, I’m going to kill you right now! ”
“Heh, do you even have the ability to do that anymore?” Lin Zhen scoffed and swiftly charged forward. He didn’t want to give Yue Feng any more chances.
In that instant, faint starlight emanated from Yue Feng’s Star Device Armor, forming a protective shield around his body that repelled Lin Zhen’s sword.
“You’re actually releasing the Star Power in your armor! This will destroy the Star Artifact!” Lin Zhen’s eyes widened. This guy was really a prodigal, a master at wasting resources. The reason Star Artifacts are called Star Artifacts was because they contained the Star Power of the person who refined them.
The so-called Star Power within weapon armors was nothing more than the energy from the universe, guided into the weapon by the aura of a Star Realm Warrior and above, combined with high-quality materials, and refined into a Star Artifact. If there was Star Power, it was a Star Artifact. If there was no Star Power, it was simply made of high-quality materials.
“Tsk! I’m about to die, and you’re still talking about Star Artifacts? Lin Zhen, this is all your fault, and you will pay the price of your life for it!”
“Really? Your armor is a Lower Grade Star Artifact. Releasing its Star Power, it can hold on for 20 minutes at most. I want to see how you’re going to save yourself then!” Lin Zhen was in no hurry since his opponent was already trapped. Sooner or later, Yue Feng would have to submit.
Yue Feng picked up his Star Weapon Spear again and rubbed the tail end against the Snake Letter on his Space Ring.
“Lin Zhen, I didn’t want to use this move initially because the price is too high. I will end up wasting another Star Artifact. Nonetheless, you’re forcing me relentlessly. So, I have no choice but to kill you, even if it means losing a Star Artifact. ”
Lin Zhen was momentarily stunned. Yue Feng’s Star Weapon Spear’s tail had once pierced Lin Zhen, so it was stained with his blood. Why was Yue Feng rubbing his blood on the Snake Letter?
After smearing the blood on the Snake Letter, Yue Feng sneered: “Don’t understand, do you? I can show you some mercy and let you die with some understanding. This ring of mine comes from an ancient God’s relic. This
Snake Letter actually has another name – Star Strike!”
Upon hearing this name, Lin Zhen instantly shuddered!
Star Strike!
In his previous life, Lin Zhen knew about this thing. It wasn’t something from Earth but a product of extraterrestrial civilizations, created by Star Realm Experts.
The Star Strike could be considered a failed product. It contained Star Power and used a person’s blood to lock onto their Spiritual Consciousness Sea. Once someone’s blood stained the Star Strike, it would lock onto them, and its attack range could stretch over half a planet. There was no way to block the Star Strike’s attack without Star Power.
Such a thing is not very useful for those above the Star Realm, but for those below the Star Realm, it can hit any target and is difficult to avoid, unless you also have a Star Artifact that can resist, and a lower-grade Star Artifact won’t work.
The reason why this thing is considered a failure is that besides being able to be blocked by Star Realm Warriors or high-grade Star Artifacts, it is disposable, unable to be retrieved after being used, and therefore gradually abandoned. No Star Realm Warrior would bother to create a Star Strike just to kill a War God they could easily defeat.
Lin Zhen’s breakthrough within the Corrosive Tree Leaves was indeed a sudden progression, reaching the late stage of the third level of War God, but against the Star Strike, he had virtually no resistance.
It wasn’t that his strength was poor, but rather that without Star Power, he couldn’t compete with Star Power.
Even if he managed to teleport away from here, his blood had already been locked onto by Star Power; unless he teleported to an extradimensional space, there would be no way to evade it!
On the other side, Yue Feng didn’t give Lin Zhen any time to react and resolutely triggered the Star Strike!
“Lin Zhen, farewell!”
Lin Zhen immediately made all preparations, first teleporting dozens of meters back, then releasing a spiritual barrier, and compressing golden energy, lightning, and brilliance into an energy ball in his hand, shrouding himself in gravity, rotating the Dark Star while using all of his power to resist!
Although he Imew it was somewhat futile, Lin Zhen never knew how to give up, he had to fight!
After Yue Feng activated the Star Strike, a star point shone on the ring, and he laughed loudly, “It’s useless, just a dying struggle, die!”
The Star Strike was fired, like a snake letter, a beam of light shot out, aiming at Lin Zhen due to the ring’s direction.
The immense Star Power rushed forward, like a meteor’s momentum, leaving a long silver trail behind it as if it were a meteor tail, causing terror in people’s hearts.
“Hahaha! You’re finished, you’re finished! !”
Yue Feng shouted hysterically as he watched the Star Strike fly towards Lin Zhen, waiting for the moment Lin Zhen was killed. In his view, there was absolutely no chance that Lin Zhen’s defenses would withstand the Star Strike.
Not only did he think this way, but Lin Zhen did as well. Lin Zhen understood the Star Strike even better than Yue Feng, and his defenses were barely a drop in the bucket against it.
Everyone watched the silver light, without a doubt, this strike would determine the result of their final battle.
But to everyone’s astonishment, the Star Strike actually swept past Lin Zhen’s body without even touching a single strand of his hair, turning into a meteor and shooting out of the jungle at an incredibly high speed, disappearing from everyone’s sight in the blink of an eye.
Such an outcome surprised everyone. What was going on? Why didn’t the Star Strike hit Lin Zhen?
Even Lin Zhen himself was puzzled by this result. Although he was certainly glad that the Star Strike hadn’t attacked him, he also knew that his blood had definitely been smeared on the Star Strike, and under normal circumstances, there was no possibility of failure.
Yue Feng stared dumbfounded as the Star Strike disappeared, then roared angrily, “What happened? The Star Strike was clearly successfully released! My father told me that once the Star Strike is successfully released, it would be like a meteor streaking through the sky. That’s exactly what it looked like, but why didn’t it attack Lin Zhen?”
The surrounding warriors looked at each other, unable to provide an answer.
“Someone, there must be someone else’s blood that stained the Star Strike beforehand, and the Star Strike will only lock onto the first person who was covered with blood. Lin Zhen wasn’t the first one, but I’ve never allowed anyone to come into contact with this ring. No one even has the chance to touch my hand. Who was it? Who?”
Lin Zhen said coldly, “Who knows where your Star Strike went wrong? What you should be concerned about now is not this, but whether you can survive. The armor won’t protect you much longer.”
“No! You can’t kill me. No one can kill me when I leave. My father is waiting for me under the fruit tree. He’s here now, and I’m going to find him!”
Yue Feng shouted, leveraging the temporary defense provided by the self-destructing Star Artifact, produced a spear in his hand and suddenly stabbed it into the trunk!
True Sun Fire accompanied the Star Artifact Spear, making it impossible to stop: the spear pierced the trunk, fierce flames destroyed the trunk, and immediately a hole was opened in the trunk, Yue Feng’s body crashed downward!
“Not good! He’s using the power of the Star Artifact and the True Sun Fire to break through the tree, going straight down. He’ll reach the Lake Heart Tree soon.”
“Once he reaches the Lake Heart Tree, he’ll be close to the platform. I can’t let him escape!”
Yue Feng relentlessly released flames in front of him, the overbearing fire easily ignited the interior of the trunk, the spear paved the way for Yue Feng. The clever boy moved in curves, preventing Lin Zhen’s gravity attack from landing. Lin Zhen had no choice but to follow closely behind, and within less than ten minutes, they moved from the Sky Dome to the vicinity of Lake Heart Tree…
