Chapter 315 : Chapter 315 : Battle Between Dragons and Tigers
Lin Zhen’s speed with his Lightning Wings was too fast. Yan Huang barely had any time to react before he felt the sharpness of the Seven Kills Spear.
Although he did not believe that Lin Zhen would really sacrifice himself, he couldn’t afford to gamble.
He was the Pope of the church, the man with the highest status in the world. He wouldn’t give up his position even for the head of state. Unlimited power and wealth were waiting for him. How could he perish together with a brainless youngster like Lin Zhen?
Reluctantly, he took out the Holy Light Armor’s shield.
The Holy Artifact Shield appeared and blocked him, and both of them collided violently with the Seven Kills Spear!
Crack!
The Star Artifact shear couldn’t withstand the violent impact from the Holy
Artifact, and it broke!
However, Yan Huang also received a huge impact, feeling suffocated in his chest.
Lin Zhen, who was behind Yan Huang, used him as a cushion, so the impact wasn’t as strong for him.
The two men’s bodies shook. Yan Huang’s rage shot through the roof, his Star Power exploding. The formidable power of the Meteor Middle Stage was displayed instantly, breaking free of Lin Zhen’s restraint.
“Get lost! ”
He threw the enormous Holy Artifact Shield at Lin Zhen with tremendous force.
Lin Zhen was brushed by the shield, making him lose his balance and fall to the ground.
However, as he fell, he suddenly swept his leg out, aiming straight at Yan Huang’s face!
Yan Huang never expected that Lin Zhen would have such an incredible level of flexibility. Coupled with the fact that his chest was still heaving from the collision with the shield, he saw everything go black before his eyes.
“Bang!”
He was kicked by Lin Zhen and fell, only to stab at Lin Zhen’s thigh with his sword as he went down, showing the prowess of a super expert.
As the sword pierced him, Lin Zhen’s ankle hurt. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen used liquid metal to form a long spear that pierced through Yan Huang’s ankle!
Both men, now on the ground, rolled and retreated simultaneously, not giving each other a chance to attack.
The crowd gaped, watching the battle between the two men. No one had expected Lin Zhen to push Yan Huang this far.
Especially those who were familiar with the fighting prowess of the Star Realm. They knew the huge gap between a Meteor Middle Stage and a Quasi-Star Realm, which was akin to the gap between heaven and earth.
Although Lin Zhen seemed to be losing, he had already won.
From the moment Yan Huang took out his shield, Lin Zhen had won. Yan Huang had boasted that he could defeat Lin Zhen with just a single sword, but he failed to do so.
Yan Huang’s ankle shone with light as he used his Light Power to heal his injury. He was as proficient in Light Power as Lin Zhen, so healing was simple for him.
With a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, Yan Huang’s face turned purple with anger, his eyes burning with rage.
“Lin Zhen, I never thought you’d be able to push me this far.”
“There are many more surprises waiting for you in the future.”
Yan Huang roared in anger and charged forward again, despite his bleeding ankle. He swung his sword horizontally!
Lin Zhen didn’t have a chance to get up, but he still had one last trick up his sleeve.
Space Cut!
A black space fissure appeared abruptly in front of Yan Huang. It was so sudden and startling!
At that moment, Yan Huang felt his scalp tingling. In an instant of life or death, he decisively threw away his shield and sword, retracted his arms, and barely dodged the Space Cut!
Dodging that, Lin Zhen suddenly appeared before him, waved his hand, and a combination of light, electricity, ice, and fire energy blasted out in a ball: ‘Yan Huang! Take this!”
Unable to control his momentum, Yan Huang could only release a burst of Light Power with one hand to counter Lin Zhen’s elemental energy!
Yan Huang’s Light Power had resonated with atoms, but Lin Zhen’s elemental energy won in terms of quantity.
Two energy balls collided, and a 10 -meter-thick Energy Column shot up into the sky, piercing the clouds, making it difficult for onlookers to keep their eyes open.
Their bodies intertwined, and Yan Huang’s speed was still slightly faster. In this situation, he managed to grab Lin Zhen’s neck with one hand.
With immense strength, his eyes turned bloodshot as he aimed to strangle Lin Zhen to death!
Lin Zhen gritted his teeth. The liquid metal around his waist turned into a rope and instantly ensnared Yan Huang’s neck, while Lin Zhen pulled it hard!
With both men falling and relying on each other to stay up, Yan Huang held Lin Zhen’s neck from behind while Lin Zhen pulled the liquid metal rope from the front, also choking Yan Huang.
“Creak! ”
The sound of bones creaking was somewhat ear-piercing, leaving the distant spectators dumbstruck.
If the first time the two of them almost perished together was due to Lin Zhen using his means, what about this time? Lin Zhen could actually compete with Yan Huang evenly, were they trying to strangle each other to death?
The strength of Lin Zhen made the people of Gods Clan heart in splinters, they were all praying quietly that Yan Huang could win, as they couldn’t afford to lose in this battle.
Including those who were watching over the network, they were all cheering for the person they supported. According to later statistics, the number of supporters for both sides had reached a balance at this moment!
Lin Zhen’s actions had already had a huge impact on the world, and slowly began to ferment and grow.
Both of them were Spiritual Mind Masters, both with Diamond Middle Stage spiritual power. At this moment of life and death, their spiritual power was uncontrollable and overflowing. Although they had no more ability to drive flying Imives, their long hair danced wildly, and their hair was even entangled together, trying their best to entangle each other to death.
Lin Zhen only felt a series of suffocating sensations coming, under this circumstance, Dantian burst, spiritual power burst, physical strength burst, even inhaling was impossible, the ability of martial artists was restored to the most basic state of humans, relying on the mouth and nose, lungs breathing.
As his hair grew dizzy and heavy, the only thing he could do was to tighten the liquid metal more and more. If he wanted to live, he had to strangle his opponent before dying!
Although Lin Zhen didn’t want to die, he dared to take a gamble with Yan Huang.
Yan Huang was in the same state as Lin Zhen, with the liquid metal turning into a rope that was almost breaking his neck.
He believed that he might be able to strangle Lin Zhen, but the strength of the liquid metal was also not small. Perhaps the bigger chance was that both of them would cling to each other until the end and eventually die together on the wasteland of Ancient God City.
At this moment, Yan Huang’s heart was filled with immense regrets. He regretted his overconfidence. If he had used the full set of Holy Light armor at the beginning, if he had pushed the Light Power to the limit, if he had tried all his hidden techniques from the beginning, maybe the result would have been different.
He really shouldn’t have taken risks or waited until the Star Sky Crown was refined before dealing with Lin Zhen as the best choice.
He was the Pope of the Church, how could he die in the hands of Lin Zhen, a kid who hadn’t even reached the Star Realm? He was unwilling…
But at this moment, it was too late. He felt that he was about to die, the only thing he could do was to tighten his arms as much as possible and strangle Lin Zhen to death…
“Save His Majesty quickly!”
A member of the Church shouted unknowingly, and a group of experts from
the Church tried to rush into the Ancient God City.
But a golden-robed elder suddenly stopped in front of them: “Nobody can interfere with Lin Zhen and Yan Huang’s battle, it’s their business!”
“You… Elder Gongsun Du, when did you arrive?”
“Elder Gongsun, have you forgotten that you are a member of the Church? How can you help Lin Zhen?”
“Traitor! By doing this, you are betraying the Church; have you thought it through?”
Gongsun Du stood in front of the crowd: ‘Yes, I am an elder of the Gods Clan, but at the same time, I am also a Hua Xia person. If I didn’t have the identity of an elder of Gods Clan, I would have rushed over to give Yan Huang a heavy blow, ending him completely. What I’m doing isn’t helping Lin Zhen, but rather not helping either side.”
One of the elders tried to rush forward, but Gongsun Du waved his sleeve, and a single blow sent him flying away.
As an elder, Gongsun Du was a Meteor Stage expert, listed in the Dark Star List, and absolutely not an opponent ordinary elders could contend with.
It could be said that among the thirty golden-robed elders of Gods Clan, Gongsun Du was the strongest.
The other elders looked at each other, none of them daring to take a step across the line.
Not only were there people from Gods Clan here, but there were also martial artists from Hua Xia, many of whom admired and supported Lin Zhen. Seeing Gongsun Du block the people of Gods Clan, they immediately wanted to rush over and help Lin Zhen.
Gongsun Du’s eyes narrowed, and with a wave of his sleeves, a force of Star Power burst out, directly sending the Hua Xia martial artists flying away as well.
“Mr. Gongsun… why?”
“For no particular reason, not only am I a Hua Xia person, but I am also an elder of Gods Clan. As I said before, this is a battle between Yan Huang and Lin Zhen, and no one else is allowed to interfere.”
“But Su Saintess is your disciple, and Lin Zhen and Su Saintess…”
“Don’t say any more. Su Mingyue has already defected from Gods Clan. From now on, she is no longer my disciple.”
Similarly, Gongsun Du also stopped several Hua Xia people who wanted to go and rescue Lin Zhen.
He knew all too well that if he dared to let Hua Xia people pass, the Church people would surely erupt, and there were more Church people here than Hua Xia, so the Hua Xia side would definitely not come out on top.
Therefore, the only thing he could do was help Lin Zhen in this seemingly fair way, hoping that Lin Zhen could muster his strength and successfully overcome this crisis.
At this moment, the veins on the arms and foreheads of the two of them were bulging simultaneously, their eyes filled with bloodshot, and their faces blood-red.
At this point, none of their other abilities could be used, it was just about who had more strength and greater willpower.
But no matter how you looked at it, it seemed to be an outcome where both would be hurt.
Yan Huang opened his mouth wide, his tongue somewhat uncontrollable sticking out. He seemed to want to say something, wanting to negotiate with Lin Zhen to loosen their grip together, but he simply didn’t have the ability to speak.
In his mind, Lin Zhen should have been thinking the same way, but now they were both in a difficult position.
“Is this how it ends? I really can’t stand it!” Yan Huang’s consciousness began to waver in waves.
Lin Zhen’s situation was basically the same, clinging to the liquid metal tightly with a surge of willpower, not giving Yan Huang the slightest chance to relax, his eyelids gradually becoming too heavy to lift..
