Chapter 361: 361: Slaying the Pope (Third Update)
Of course, this kind of fixation was not very effective. The resistance that Lin Zhen encountered when he tried to pull it was due to the Holy Light’s repulsion from the Star Sky Crown itself.
The intense Holy Light burned Lin Zhen’s hands, preventing him from getting close to Yan Huang.
Yan Huang also twisted and screamed in pain, “Lin Zhen! Don’t even think about taking my Star Sky Crown. It’s mine, and none of you can take it away!”
Lin Zhen focused his mind and covered his hands with the power of the seven elements, resisting the burning Holy Light of Yan Huang. He tried to pull hard, but the Star Sky Crown seemed to be one with Yan Huang. Lin Zhen’s pulling lifted Yan Huang’s body, but the Crown still couldn’t be removed.
“I don’t believe it!”
Lin Zhen exerted force again, but the Seven Stars Knife couldn’t hold Yan Huang’s body at all.
Chen Fenglie shouted from the other side, “Brother Lin, this won’t work. Unless there is a great force opposite you to pull Yan Huang’s body, it may be possible to pull it off with both ends exerting force.”
“Then Brother Chen, you come.”
Chen Fenglie nodded and tried to grasp Yan Huang’s body, but the strong Holy Light stopped him from getting close.
After blocking two consecutive attacks, the energy beams from the sky stopped coming down for Su Mingyue.
She came to Lin Zhen’s side and, with a wave of her hand, directly took Yan Huang’s Light Annihilation.
Others couldn’t use the Light Annihilation, but Su Mingyue could. She had also mastered the power of Light Quantum and could use this Light Annihilation.
At this moment, Yan Huang was in so much pain that he was almost unconscious, and he was unable to compete with Su Mingyue for the right to use the Light Annihilation. He could only watch as she took it away.
With a flick of her hand, Su Mingyue turned the Light Annihilation into a long rope, binding Yan Huang tightly from head to toe. She then handed one end of the rope to Chen Fenglie, “Uncle Chen, you can pull this rope and exert force opposite Lin Zhen.”
Chen Fenglie nodded and took the rope. He exchanged a glance with Lin Zhen and both exerted their strength together!
“Ha!”
Chen Fenglie was a bit unstable on his feet, and his eyes revealed shock, “Brother Lin has such great strength.”
Lin Zhen didn’t make a sound, for he had already felt the difficulty of removing the Star Sky Crown. He knew that ordinary strength wouldn’t be enough.
As he exerted his force, he stimulated the Star Power within the Dark Star Space, but he didn’t expect that his absolute power had already surpassed Chen Fenglie.
Unequal forces would not work. The biggest possibility was breaking Yan Huang’s body, but it still wouldn’t remove the Crown.
Chen Fenglie’s face turned red, “I didn’t expect Brother Lin to have such great strength. It seems I need some help.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed in the sky, and an old man dressed in Tang suit appeared in front of Chen Fenglie.
“Hehe, Brother Chen, what’s the matter? Are you having trouble? Let your old brother help you.”
Lin Zhen looked at the old man in the Tang suit with no idea who he was.
Chen Fenglie hurriedly introduced, “Brother Lin, this man is the tenth-ranked An Bihuai on the Heavenly Star List. He…has some connections with you.”
“Connected with me?” Lin Zhen couldn’t believe it, because he didn’t know the man.
An Bihuai snorted, “Let’s talk about this later. Let’s solve the matter at hand first. Lin Zhen, can you handle the combined strength of me and Chen Fenglie?”
Lin Zhen nodded, “We can try.”
“Hehe! Good boy, if you can really withstand me and Chen Fenglie’s combined strength, I will allow you to call me big brother once.”
Lin Zhen was a little stunned, not knowing why An Bihuai said this.
But there was no time for such things right now. Who knows when the next energy cannon would be fired from the sky? Time was of the essence.
Lin Zhen knew that the energy beams from the spacecraft were blocked by Su Mingyue just now, but it might become desperate and fire other energy cannons, attempting to bury them along with Yan Huang.
However, replacing the energy stones and charging the energy also took time. One and a half minutes had passed, and he had only thirty seconds left.
An Bihuai and Chen Fenglie grabbed the rope of the Light Annihilation at the same time, nodded to Lin Zhen, and the three of them exerted their force together!
Lin Zhen held the Star Sky Crown with both hands, feeling the tremendous force of the two men. It was almost irresistible, as two Heavenly Star List masters joined forces.
Su Mingyue had tied the rope skillfully, so Yan Huang’s body wouldn’t be torn apart. If it were to be torn off, it could only be at the junction of his head and the Star Sky Crown. Now, it depended on whether the power of Lin Zhen and the others could break the Holy Light power of the Crown itself.
Lin Zhen steadied himself, and the Star Power within the Dark Star began to surge.
“Ha ha!!”
A series of clear cries came from Lin Zhen’s throat, and the surging Star Power within the Dark Star burst out. Stars flickered all over his body, and a tremendous mountain-like force erupted!
An Bihuai and Chen Fenglie’s faces turned red as well, and Lin Zhen’s force was as vast as a river. The two masters also couldn’t back down, and they both reached the Comet Stage strength. The intense Star Power shone brightly on the entire area!
“Gazhizhizhi!!!”
A dazzling brilliance burst from Yan Huang’s head, and Yan Huang, who had become a mummy-like figure due to being tied by the Light Annihilation, tried to scream in pain but couldn’t make a sound.
The light grew brighter and stronger!
“Now is the time!”
Lin Zhen roared, and the Dark Star suddenly spun violently. A torrential force of World Power overflowed from the Dark Star Space!
That’s right – it was the power of the World, granted to Lin Zhen by the new world he created. It let his strength suddenly explode!
Both An Bihuai and Chen Fenglie staggered, almost being pulled down by Lin Zhen. Fortunately, they forcefully increased their power to avoid embarrassing themselves in public.
“Open, damn it!”
“Bang!”
A dazzling beam of light shot to the sky. The Star Sky Crown, which Yan Huang relied on as a lifeline and had blocked countless death threats for him, was forcibly removed from his head!
“Yue’er! Take it!”
Lin Zhen directly handed the Star Sky Crown over to Su Mingyue. Su Mingyue had already comprehended the Light Quantum, so entrusting her with the crown was the best choice.
Su Mingyue immediately put away the Star Sky Crown and, raising her hand, also took away Yan Huang’s Light Annihilation. She stored both treasures in her Space Ring.
“Thud!”
Yan Huang’s body fell to the ground, blood pouring from his head, revealing four deep gashes that went down to the bone.
He could not imagine how Lin Zhen had forcibly removed the Star Sky Crown, which had already fused with him. How did he do it?
Without the Star Sky Crown, Yan Huang no longer had anything to rely on for survival.
He looked pleadingly towards the stars.
He desperately wished for the two people who had helped him from outer space to lend him a hand once more, even if they just whisked him away.
Aboard the spaceship in outer space, Tu Ya stopped Xin Ou from continuing to replace energy sources.
“Xin Ou, don’t waste your effort. Yan Huang is finished.”
Xin Ou went silent. It was tough to find a suitable spokesperson to represent them, only to have it result in failure.
They had ambitiously come here from the Tianhe Empire, only to encounter continuous setbacks. Not only was Shu Mingxuan dead, but now Yan Huang was also finished, which struck a severe blow to them.
“What should we do?”
“What else can we do? It’s not appropriate to confront Earthlings head-on right now. We can only find a place to hide and slowly plan.”
Xin Ou looked at Lin Zhen with some unwillingness, “This guy ruined our plans. If there’s a chance, I really want to kill him with my own hands.”
“Let’s go. I believe there will be such an opportunity, but it won’t be easy. Lin Zhen may become a scourge for us.”
Tu Ya piloted the spaceship, cruising past the Earth’s atmosphere. They couldn’t land from this direction anymore, they had to find a safe place to touch down.
Yan Huang didn’t know that his savior had already left. Instead, Lin Zhen took out the Star-gazing Mirror to have a look and then put it back into his pocket without telling anyone else.
With a thought, the Seven Stars Knife returned to his hand. At the same time, all of Yan Huang’s tendons in his hands and feet were severed.
This time, Yan Huang’s recovery became extremely slow. Although he had also mastered the power of Light Quantum, the loss of the Star Sky Crown made this recovery speed unbearable for him.
“Lin Zhen… You can’t kill me. They saved me just now. They must save me again. These people are powerful. If you kill me, you’ll invite big trouble.”
Lin Zhen looked down at the pathetic Yan Huang, “Yan Huang, don’t have any illusions. Your past glory is just a memory now. Everything is over.”
At this time, Yan Huang finally understood what fear was. He begged Lin Zhen, “Please spare me. I can give you money. I’ve been a Pope for so long, I’m very rich. I still have 200 billion in my card.”
Lin Zhen squatted down and smiled, “Thank you for reminding me. I guess I’ll take your ring then.”
With that, he removed the Space Ring from Yan Huang’s hand.
“The password?”
Yan Huang hesitated to tell him. Lin Zhen maliciously glanced at Yan Huang’s lower body, “If I cut something off from you right now, do you think it will regenerate?”
Yan Huang shivered and obediently told Lin Zhen the password.
Chen Fenglie took out the card machine from the Space Ring, which could be used to test the password directly. After verification, it was confirmed to be true.
“You took my money, can you let me go now?”
“No, your money can only buy you a relatively dignified death. Your sins are unforgivable.”
Lin Zhen stood up, “Yan Huang, I won’t say anything about how you treated me, but you started the Eastern Conquest War, killing countless Hua Xia soldiers. I, on behalf of Hua Xia, will settle this score with you.”
“Your body, your soul, your thoughts should all be annihilated. You don’t deserve to leave any trace in this world, as if you never existed!”
Lin Zhen raised his hand, and an energy ball began to spin in his palm.
“Go see if your true God has a paradise to shelter you. Farewell, Yan Huang. Lucifer!”
“Boom!”
The energy ball smashed down, igniting massive flames and unleashing rampant lightning. Yan Huang’s body turned to ashes, and the ice that froze him rose to the sky. As a streak of lightning struck, the ice crystals dissipated in the air.
All traces of Yan Huang’s existence disappeared like snowflakes blown away by the wind and rain, leaving no trace behind.
