Chapter 709: Chapter 712: Continuous Killing! (3rd update)
Above the leaderboard, Lin Zhen’s points advanced again, reaching fifth place, surpassing the current Holy Word.
However, his consecutive termination of the Bull Demon King and Holy Word thoroughly angered their companions.
By the time he landed, these five people unleashed their unique skills without hesitation.
Qin Jianfeng and Boston were the main forces, confronting Lin Zhen head-on, with Jun Mo joining them. Their triangular formation made it difficult for Lin Zhen to break free.
La Moti and Holy Word, one sneak attacking and the other distracting, further confined Lin Zhen.
Facing their relentless assault, Lin Zhen’s only option was to take the Divine Power Pills. They wouldn’t give him another chance to ambush someone.
He reached out, and a Divine Power Pill appeared, which he swallowed.
A mighty surge of Star Power rose from his Dantian, increasing his strength by forty percent instantly!
Even though the enhancement from the Divine Power Pill was not as significant as the Wild Thunder Pill, it didn’t have the severe side effects. If not for being on the Divine Punishment Star, the value of the Wild Thunder Pill would certainly be inferior to the Divine Power Pill.
Under the current state of Star Energy Transfer, Lin Zhen’s Star Power had reached 12,500,000. A forty percent increase equated to 5,000,000. After consuming the elixir, it increased to 17,500,000!
Furthermore, with the Lotus Divine Body, Lin Zhen could make the fullest use of this Star Power. Its effects were almost on par with the near 30,000,000 Star Power of an average martial artist!
The situation was instantly reversed!
Now, holding the Phantom Light Sword, Lin Zhen felt in control of the battle against his opponents’ potent onslaught.
“Taking advantage of their unpreparedness, I must eliminate more enemies to lessen the pressure!”
Lin Zhen suddenly brandished his sword, stepping on a lotus, and in an almost instantaneous move, appeared in front of Qin Jianfeng, unleashing a fierce sword strike at him!
An angry expression crossed Qin Jianfeng’s face, as he too readied his sword!
“You’re courting death, Lin Zhen!”
“Hum~~~!”
The harsh sound of metal against metal was almost deafening, a spark igniting between the two.
The onlookers assumed Qin Jianfeng and Lin Zhen would reach a stalemate, with Jun Mo preparing to assist from behind. However, unexpectedly, during their face-off, Qin Jianfeng unexpectedly lost!
Lin Zhen’s long sword forcefully suppressed Qin Jianfeng’s weapon, pushing him towards a rocky wall, step-by-step.
Qin Jianfeng’s forehead throbbed with anger, his eyes reddening with fury. The figure who had always prided himself as the top-ranked World King Stage martial artist felt utterly humiliated.
Broadcasted live throughout the Original World, Qin Jianfeng could already imagine the spread of this scene of his defeat by Lin Zhen’s sword. It would be continually mocked, used as bait, turned into memes…
“Ah~!Get lost!” Star Power burst forth from Qin Jianfeng again.
However, Lin Zhen didn’t pursue him. After pushing Qin Jianfeng away, he suddenly turned back, his sword sharply slashing at the approaching Jun Mo, before quickly stepping towards his next target – Holy Word!
“Be careful, Holy Word! He’s coming for you first!”
Having been ambushed by Lin Zhen twice, they had identified his strategy: eliminating one enemy at a time.
La Moti, who was initially aiming to ambush Lin Zhen, instantly shifted his direction towards Holy Word.
Boston, from behind, urgently came to assist and rescue Holy Word.
Lin Zhen revealed a slight smile. His real target was never Holy Word. It was Boston.
Boston and Qin Jianfeng’s simultaneous attacks from both sides had been troubling for Lin Zhen. He had to eliminate one; Boston was the easier target.
Seeing Boston charging from behind, Lin Zhen suddenly used his secret technique again: the lotus appeared, he spun around with his double-handed sword.
Speed of Light Combo~!
Although the sword seemed to be swooping down directly, it was actually Lin Zhen’s high-speed swordplay. Knocking down again and again, it looked like a single strike, but it was ten thousand swords unified, leaving no room for defense!
At this moment, Boston was trapped, with no other option but to resist. He raised his trident, preparing for a hard fight!
The ten thousand strikes, each hitting the same spot, broke through Boston’s trident, which wasn’t a shield, in just one second!
On the ten thousand and first strike, Lin Zhen used Taiyuan!
A spatial fracture passed through, leaving a crack on Boston’s body!
Without glancing at his opponent, Lin Zhen knew the outcome once Taiyuan was used. He swiftly turned, his long sword swinging again, this time aiming for Holy Word!
Behind him, the lotuses floated and fell like barriers, obstructing the trajectories of Jun Mo and Qin Jianfeng. His opponents were now only La Moti and Holy Word.
After eliminating Boston, the pressure was significantly reduced. Lin Zhen no longer needed to hide his intentions. With his long sword in a forward stance, he charged, with one strike sending the sneaky La Moti flying!
Holy Word, now visibly terrified, was not adept at face-to-face combat. He stood no chance against Lin Zhen.
But he was decisive. Seeing Lin Zhen charging at him, he adopted the most convenient method— self-destruction!
Seeing his opponent’s body bloat, Lin Zhen immediately cast Seven Stars Knife, piercing Holy Word’s mind, before swiftly withdrawing!
Rumble Rumble Rumble~~!
After a powerful shake, Boston and Holy Word were enveloped in bluish light and slowly ascended, both eliminated.
Ocean Emperor Boston was eliminated!
The young master of the Secret Sect, Holy Word, was eliminated!
These two had placed third and sixth, respectively.
Despite their high-ranking positions after their elimination, Lin Zhen’s ranking soared to the second place, just behind Qin Jianfeng!
Swinging the Phantom Light Sword lightly, a sly smirk appeared on Lin Zhen’s face, “Be careful, Crown Prince Qin. If I kill one more, I’ll take your first place.”
Exaggeration was not involved. After taking the Divine Power Pills, Lin Zhen’s power surged tremendously, managing to defeat Boston and ambush Holy Word, and the rest of them were helpless. So if Lin Zhen planned to wipe them out, there wouldn’t be anyone doubting his capability.
Only three people were left: Qin Jianfeng, Jun Mo, and La Moti.
As of now, Qin Jianfeng was leading the scoreboard, followed by Lin Zhen, Jun Mo, and La Moti.
Although there were others in the top ten, they had already been eliminated, posing no threat to them.
“You will not get the chance.”
Qin Jianfeng had no time for idle chatter, and pointing his sword at Lin Zhen, he told Jun Mo and La Moti, “We don’t have much time. No need for pleasantries. Today we must determine the winner and lose, the three of us will unite to kill Lin Zhen in one fell swoop!”
Jun Mo and La Moti nodded slightly. It was clear to them that they desperately needed Qin Jianfeng’s help to deal with Lin Zhen, but even then, they were no four match for him.
Again, the three of them made their moves. Jun Mo and La Moti were the vanguard at left and right, while Qin Jianfeng followed slightly behind, preparing his lethal tactics.
Lin Zhen gripped the Phantom Light Sword, his target was set on Jun Mo.
This is the man who, despite being from the same clan, ambushed Little Phoenix and got her eliminated. Lin Zhen would never let him off easy!
At this time, Jun Mo’s Star Energy totaled about 18 million, even higher than Lin Zhen’s, but Lin Zhen didn’t care. He attacked with his sword, not handling La Moti and Qin Jianfeng’s onsets, and marched them on courageously!
Jun Mo shuddered, but already without retreat, he mustered enough strength to fend off Lin Zhen and create a chance for Qin Jianfeng and the rest.
La Moti was rapidly charging toward Lin Zhen to kill him. He was about a second away from Jun Mo.
Almost at the same time, Lin Zhen, Jun Mo, and La Moti clashed head-on!
There were no flamboyant attacks, the three of them crossed hands thousands of times in an instant!
Lin Zhen, aided by the Divine Power Pills, exposed his advantage to its fullest. Jun Mo and the rest were first suppressed to their palms going numb, and then their palms broke out, spewing blood, followed by severe injuries. It all happened in the blink of an eye!
“Qin Jianfeng!”
Jun Mo’s cry of agony echoed. Lin Zhen, at this very moment, was way beyond their control. Be it in speed or strength, they were far behind their opponent, thoroughly outnumbered, and the two almost instantly fell into despair.
The gale brushed past, and Qin Jianfeng was catching up. This managed to uplift their spirits slightly, as they were putting up their last resistance.
Lotus blooms!
A snow lotus rose between Jun Mo and La Moti, disrupting their unity, while Lin Zhen’s Taiyuan emerged again, attacking Jun Mo directly!
Such aggression was beyond Jun Mo’s ability to resist!
“The only thing you possess is base unscrupulousness and vulnerability! You’re unfit to be the young master of Phoenix Clan!”
“Lin Zhen! We will die together!”
Seeing that he can’t resist, Jun Mo decisively unleashed Phoenix Flame!
Not only was Little Phoenix capable of this move, but he also was!
However, Lin Zhen’s sword swung relentlessly, cleaving without hesitation!
As Taiyuan fleeted, Jun Mo died on the spot. However, the Phoenix Flame was released at the last moment.
Emerald flames swept across the land and filled the One-line Sky, turning it into a cauldron momentarily.
Lin Zhen bathed in the blaze, without the slightest care. Jun Mo’s firepower was weaker than his, and this move could not even leave a scratch on him.
Meanwhile, two notices surfaced in the Dimensional Universe.
Firstly, Lin Zhen eliminated Jun Mo, and after doing so, his score immediately jumped to the top position!
But the second notice was about Qin Jianfeng eliminating La Moti!
At the time of the explosive flame, Qin Jianfeng decisively killed La Moti with a blow, and used La Moti’s body to block the impact of the flame!
The brief first place that Lin Zhen claimed was once again surpassed by Qin Jianfeng, falling back to the second position.
As the flames died down, the bodies of Jun Mo and La Moti rose simultaneously, departing. Qin Jianfeng dusted off the ashes on him, enigmatically smirking towards Lin Zhen, “Well, now that these hindrances are gone, the real fight can finally commence.”
