Chapter 247 - 247: 247: Kidnapping a Dog
“Pfft!”
The Star Device Armor on his chest was struck by the Broken Jade Spear.
Generally speaking, High Grade Celestial Device Armor is slightly stronger than a High Grade Celestial Device Spear. Normally, the spear couldn’t pierce through the armor.
Yue Zhenhua, relying on the defense of the Star Device Armor, despite spitting out a mouthful of blood, could still escape. He violently retreated backward!
Lin Zhen moved a step on the cloud, following Yue Zhenhua like a ghost. Streams of golden aura were imbued into the Broken Jade.
“Do you think this turtle shell can save your life? Break it for me!”
Under the blessing of the golden aura, the Broken Jade’s grade instantly reached that of a Top Quality Star Device!
Suddenly, lightning surged around Yue Zhenhua’s chest cavity. The High Grade Celestial Device Armor could no longer withstand the attack, and the spear pierced through his body!
At this moment, Yue Zhenhua’s sword was thrown away, and his hands desperately gripped the spearhead of Lin Zhen, trying to move it away.
The two fell from the sky, Lin Zhen’s arm exerting force, pressing the spear firmly against Yue Zhenhua as they headed straight for the ground.
Yue Zhenhua spat blood from the corner of his mouth. With both hands gripping the spear, he launched a mental attack at Lin Zhen!
“Bang!”
The backlash of the distance almost made his head explode; his spiritual power was actually weaker than Lin Zhen’s now!
This backlash completely cut off Yue Zhenhua’s hope of resistance. Lin Zhen’s spear lunged forward, pressing down on Yue Zhenhua from above and pinning him to the ground!
“Ugh…!!” Blood overflowed from the corner of Yue Zhenhua’s mouth again. At this moment, he finally admitted that Lin Zhen’s strength was now above his, and he was no longer a match.
Now he had no strength to fight back. Although the spear did not pierce his heart, the blood groove on both sides of the Broken Jade was bleeding simultaneously. If he did not receive timely treatment, he would not survive five minutes!
“Lin Zhen… let me go, and we’ll wipe the slate clean between us. I’ll give you the position of Gale’s Grand Master,” Yue Zhenhua said as he struggled in his dying moments.
“I’m sorry, but as far as I know, who becomes the Gale Grand Master isn’t up to you. It’s supposed to be appointed by Chen Fenglie. Can you influence Chen Fenglie’s decision?” said Lin Zhen with disdain.
“If you let me go, I promise I’ll obey you in everything. Gale will be under your command behind the scenes. How about that?” Yue Zhenhua threw out another bait.
Hearing this, Lin Zhen’s heart wavered slightly. If he could really control Gale behind the scenes, that would indeed be a good thing.
But he woke up sharply right after, realizing that it was absolutely impossible!
If he truly controlled Gale secretly, Chen Fenglie would certainly notice something. That would definitely challenge his bottom line. Although Lin Zhen’s strength was admirable, it was far from Chen Fenglie’s heights and he couldn’t confront him just yet.
Lin Zhen also considered controlling Yue Zhenhua with spiritual power, but that wouldn’t work either. Chen Fenglie was also a Spiritual Mind Master, and his spiritual power was extremely strong. Lin Zhen’s Soul Lock would be exposed in front of him, and might even be broken by him, which would also infuriate him to the death.
He coldly looked at Yue Zhenhua, “You truly deserve to die. Now go and meet your dead son.”
With a single-handed exertion, the Broken Jade Spear stirred inside Yue Zhenhua’s body!
“Ugh…
Mouthfuls of blood poured down from his mouth, and looking at the spear in his chest, Yue Zhenhua raised his head, unable to accept this, and said to Lin Zhen,”I haven’t even reached the Star Realm yet. This is impossible…”
Lin Zhen looked at the once-dominant Gale Grand Master with a trace of disdain in his eyes, “Since you think it’s impossible, then consider it an illusion. Life is like a dream, just live in the dream.”
“In the dream… Mr. Chen Fenglie will avenge me… ugh!”
Unable to say anything more, Yue Zhenhua fell face up and died on the spot!
He hadn’t even had the chance to use his Wind Element attack. His sword was already at a disadvantage against the spear. Moreover, his current strength was indeed inferior to Lin Zhen, and death was the only outcome.
After killing Yue Zhenhua with a single spear thrust, Lin Zhen took his Space Ring and casually threw his corpse into the poisonous fog of White Dragon Lake.
When he was disposing of the body, Lin Zhen saw Xiao Nuan glance at the corpse and seemed to want to move.
Lin Zhen hurriedly grabbed its fur and lifted it up. The Galaxy Beast could eat anything, but Lin Zhen would never allow him to eat people.
Xiao Nuan looked at Lin Zhen aggrievedly, not understanding what he had done wrong.
“Xiao Nuan! If you want to continue following me, you must never think about eating people. You can bite a bad guy to death and steal his ring if you want, but if you don’t comply, I’ll kick you back to your kennel,” Lin Zhen issued a deadly command.
With incredibly sensitive hearing, Lin Zhen could even hear the sound of Yue Zhenhua’s body being corroded by the poison fog. He let out a long sigh.
Lin Zhen had no mercy in his heart; he had seen too many deaths of martial artists. Yue Zhenhua was not the first, nor would he be the last.
As for Yue Zhenhua’s claim that Chen Fenglie would avenge him, Lin Zhen thought it was possible, but he was not worried at all.
In his previous life, Chen Fenglie was recognized as the number one master, having made great contributions during the fight against extraterrestrial civilization. Lin Zhen knew that he was definitely not a bad person, and that he generally did not care much about worldly matters.
However, Lin Zhen had killed Yue Zhenhua, and Gale was created by Chen Fenglie who had entrusted his management to Yue Zhenhua. Lin Zhen’s actions were equivalent to slapping Chen Fenglie’s face, and one day in the future, he would have to confront him, so it was best to be mentally prepared for this.
Having dealt with Yue Zhenhua, Lin Zhen hurriedly sprinted towards the entrance of Five Connected Pools.
When he arrived at the entrance, he saw He Liu again.
He Liu didn’t know that Yue Zhenhua was dead, and was about to leave as the War God’s Knockout was starting the next day. He didnt want to continue staying, but before he could say goodbye to Yue Zhenhua, Lin Zhen appeared.
“You… How did you get out?”
“Should I stay in there forever?” Lin Zhen smiled and looked at He Liu.
It was then that He Liu noticed that Lin Zhen was now a Seventh -Level War God.
This discovery made his eyelids twitch. When he entered, he was already at Level Eight Peak; after nearly three months of bitter practice, he barely broke through to Level 9, which was already a fast pace. If there weren’t so many crystals, this couldn’t have been possible.
But when he first saw Lin Zhen, he was only at the early Fifth Level, and now he was already in the middle of Seventh Level!
He Liu had only increased a small level, after all, Level Eight Peak and Level 9 were not that far apart.
However, Lin Zhen had advanced by more than two full levels!
He Liu would hardly believe it had he not seen it with his own eyes. He was uneasy because this young man had great potential, and it was possible that he would become a threat eventually if not eliminated as soon as possible. But not seeing Yue Zhenhua made him more uncertain: “Where is Master Yue?”
Lin Zhen sneered: “You’ll see him soon.”
Shaking his spear, Lin Zhen didn’t want to argue with He Liu and directly rushed towards him!
At this point, He Liu had no choice but to engage in combat with Lin Zhen.
As soon as they clashed, He Liu knew he was finished. How did Lin Zhen’s strength increase so quickly? Even though he was only a Seventh-Level War God, He Liu felt completely crushed by his opponent!
The first spear from Lin Zhen broke He Liu’s sword!
With the second spear, He Liu had seven or eight wounds on his body and blood was gushing out!
With the third spear, Lin Zhen threw He Liu against a distant mountainside, leaving him barely alive!
Seeing Lin Zhen relentlessly approaching, He Liu almost despaired.
This was not a fair fight!
In his panic, He Liu launched a Mental Shock, but Lin Zhen was unshaken. On the contrary, He Liu felt dizzy and disoriented.
How could he have such strong spiritual power?Confused, He Liu saw Lin Zhen reach out and pull him from the mountainside with a strong force, causing him to heavily fall in front of Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen raised his Broken Jade Spear, ready to put an end to He Liu.
At this point, He Liu saw a little hope, because he noticed a small dog next to Lin Zhen.
The little dog seemed very valuable, with its golden fur shining and a circle of bright red mane around its neck, and a long tail like a beautiful little lion.
In these times, not many people raised pets, but if they did, it must be a cherished one.
He Liu suddenly had an idea, seeing the small dog jumping towards him, looking like it was going to bite him.
“Lin Zhen and I have no deep hatred, I was just following Yue Zhenhua’s orders to deal with him. If I could kidnap his dog, maybe Lin Zhen would spare my life, because sometimes people’s lives aren’t worth more than a dog’s.” With that thought in mind, He Liu acted decisively!
He suddenly sprang up, grabbed Xiao Nuan, and held the broken sword to the little dog’s chin while roaring at Lin Zhen: “Lin Zhen, if you push me any further, I’ll kill your dog.”
In He Liu’s mind, Lin Zhen should have one of two reactions at this point.
The first would be panic and bargaining with He Liu to save his dog. With this leverage, He Liu would stand a chance to survive if he could hold the dog hostage.
The second would be Lin Zhen completely uncaring, continuing his attack. In that case, He Liu would feel utterly hopeless; killing Lin Zhen’s dog would be meaningless in the end.
So, he stared anxiously into Lin Zhen’s eyes, trying to discern his fate from them.
Yet what he saw was incomprehensible.
Lin Zhen first glared at the dog, then looked at him with a mix of pity and sadness. Putting away the Broken Jade Spear, Lin Zhen actually walked straight towards the exit of Five Connected Pools, with an unclear intention..
