Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Exchanging Injury for Life

Translator: 549690339

Yan Huang never dreamed that Lin Zhen would actually use such a tricky move in battle, even at the cost of destroying a holy artifact, freezing his feet to the ground after taking a heavy hit.

It was no wonder Yan Huang couldn’t guard against Lin Zhen, who had so many elemental powers at his disposal, giving him too many choices during battle.

Lin Zhen didn’t even care about his injuries, doing everything he could to strike Yan Huang.

At this moment, Yan Huang couldn’t hate Lin Zhen more. He now realized that battle tactics were also part of combat, and he had a long way to go if he wanted to crush Lin Zhen with his strength alone.

However, he would not just sit and wait for death, as he swung his Light Annihilation with all his strength and unleashed a powerful sword attack against Lin Zhen.

At this range, Light Element was Yan Huang’s best attacking choice, while Lin Zhen, seriously injured, should not be able to dodge this attack.

A blade of light slashed towards Lin Zhen, while Yan Huang turned the Light Annihilation into a shield to block Thunder Kill!

“Boom!”

The ice under Yan Huang’s feet shattered, and his body was sent flying by the powerful impact. The combined power of lightning, ice, and light flickered on his body, further injuring him, who already had a broken arm.

He thought his Light Blade would finish Lin Zhen, but as it approached, Lin Zhen surprisingly used Spatial Folding, making himself vanish into thin air!

The Light Blade whizzed through the air, only cutting off a strand of Lin Zhen’s long hair, narrowly missing him by a hair’s breadth.

Seeing Lin Zhen dodge his attack, Yan Huang’s chest roiled with anger, and he spat out a mouthful of blood as he landed awkwardly. His left arm hung limply by his side.

If Lin Zhen attacked again at this moment, perhaps Yan Huang would really lose his life today.

Lin Zhen also realized this and planned to attack Yan Huang again after avoiding the Light Blade in the folded space.

Perhaps his absolute strength was still far inferior to Yan Huang’s, but when considering battle experience and fighting spirit, Lin Zhen was confident he could crush the haughty Pope.

At this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

Without warning, a person appeared in the space before Lin Zhen.

It was a Westerner in his fifties, wearing a cloak behind him.

Lin Zhen instinctively felt something was wrong, but he was in the folded space and had no room to move. He had no choice but to stay put, not believing this person could break through the space to attack him.

This man was Laricus, Yan Huang’s teacher.

As soon as Laricus appeared, he launched a lightning-fast attack!

He wore a cloak that could render him completely invisible and carried a Breaking Boundary Nail capable of piercing space. With a sudden move, he broke through Lin Zhen’s folded space and struck Lin Zhen’s lower abdomen!

This nail was driven directly into Lin Zhen’s Dantian!

Lin Zhen was reeling in shock from the Breaking Boundary Nail in his abdomen.

He could clearly feel that the concealed Dark Energy on the nail completely suppressed his Dantian Qi, making him unable to gather an ounce of related energy!

“A Holy Artifact that can attack through space!”

Laricus sneered: “At least you have some knowledge, but it’s too late, Lin Zhen. The Dantian Qi is the foundation of a Martial Artist. This Breaking Boundary Nail will forever stay in your Dantian, suppressing your Qi and preventing it from growing. Without your Dantian Qi, what can you do?”

From a distance, Yan Huang watched Laricus with delight and shouted, “Teacher, you finally appeared!”

Laricus glanced back at Yan Huang: “Of course, you should know that I only act when absolutely necessary, and when I do, it must be effective. I’ve been looking for an opportunity to strike for too long, and the best time to attack Lin Zhen is when he’s hiding in space because he can’t move or dodge, leaving him completely at my mercy.”

“Teacher, you’re truly amazing!” Yan Huang was still unable to get up, but his confidence soared. The Breaking Boundary Nail was known for sealing a Martial Artist’s Dantian. With this attack, Lin Zhen was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, with no chance of fighting back.

“Hehe, you better heal quickly. I’ll leave Lin Zhen to you.”

Laricus turned to Lin Zhen: “Kid, I advise you not to struggle in vain. Once struck by the Breaking Boundary Nail, a Martial Artist will never have a chance to advance again. From now on, you’ll be a cripple, and my disciple Yan Huang will mercifully end your life.”

Lin Zhen lowered his head, feeling his inactive Dantian Qi, knowing that Laricus’s words were true.

His Star Realm Dantian Qi was no longer usable.

But Lin Zhen’s battle wasn’t over yet.

As he stared at the boastful Laricus in front of him, who had no qualms whatsoever, Lin Zhen took a deep breath and suddenly struck like lightning.

Seven Stars Knife Strangle!

Even without using his Dantian Qi, his Spiritual Power was still extraordinarily strong!

Laricus’ face was solemn, holding a sword in his hand. As long as he stalls for a moment against the Seven Stars Knife, he believed that Lin Zhen would fall on his own. All he needed was to buy time.

The seven flying knives circled around Laricus, and Lin Zhen seemed to become weaker and weaker. This made Laricus even more convinced that Lin Zhen had no counterattack power left, so he focused his attention on the Seven Stars Knife.

Not paying attention, Lin Zhen suddenly attacked, and with the blessing of the Lightning Wings, he instantly reached Laricus’ face.

“Bang!”

Lin Zhen grabbed Laricus tightly, using the Lightning Wings to protect several key points of his body, not letting go despite Laricus’ desperate struggle, and the Seven Stars Knife struck once again!

Laricus never dreamed that Lin Zhen could still launch such a powerful attack. He had a feeling that the restriction of Dantian’s energy didn’t seem to have much impact on Lin Zhen.

But Laricus, being a top expert on the Divine Might Dark Star Ranking, was not a simple character. He did not try to counterattack Lin Zhen directly but used his long sword to protect himself, knowing that Lin Zhen could only block the Seven Stars Knife from the front.

At this moment, if he focused all his power on Lin Zhen, he might get his neck wiped by the Seven Stars Knife. Laricus was not that foolish.

Lin Zhen also saw Laricus’ intention to delay, but did not want to keep dragging on.

Water, fire, light, electricity, wind, and earth – six knives still flew in front of Laricus, while the gold-energy flying knife came behind under Lin Zhen’s control!

At this moment, appearing before the entire world, was Lin Zhen tightly holding Laricus in mid-air. Laricus used his long sword to defend against Lin Zhen’s flying knives, while Yan Huang was seriously injured.

Everyone heard that Lin Zhen’s Dantian energy was sealed, which means he could only use spiritual power now.

If this wave of flying knife attacks couldn’t kill Laricus, Lin Zhen would be the one to die.

However, when they saw the flying knife penetrating from behind Lin Zhen’s heart, almost all the people who cared about Lin Zhen shouted.

“No!”

“Don’t do it, Lin Zhen!”

“Brother Lin, what are you doing!”

Lin Zhen didn’t hear anyone’s call, as he had to kill Laricus as soon as possible. Today’s battle could not be delayed any longer. Yan Huang’s blow was heavy, and he desperately needed rest now.

The whole world saw the flying knife piercing through Lin Zhen’s chest from behind, but Laricus was in front of Lin Zhen and couldn’t see it.

So without any suspense, Lin Zhen’s flying knife first pierced through his own chest, then through Laricus’ heart.

The only difference was that Lin Zhen himself controlled the positioning to avoid his heart, while Laricus couldn’t.

The flying knife burst out of the chest, cutting Laricus’ heart arteries. With difficulty, he turned to look at Lin Zhen’s blood-stained face and said, “You… you’ve got a ruthless heart.”

Before Lin Zhen could reply, Laricus fell lifeless onto his back.

Lin Zhen was also very uncomfortable at the moment.

With this knife, Lin Zhen was severely injured. He didn’t even have the strength to kill Yan Huang, even though he still had Star Power.

Dark Star Energy and Dantian energy were not in the same space and were not affected by the sealed Dantian energy. Sealing his Dantian energy only weakened some of his strength, but didn’t limit his strongest fighting power at the moment.

Despite killing Laricus, Lin Zhen no longer had the strength to continue fighting.

After suffering a heavy blow from Yan Huang, his injuries were already severe. He managed to survive and tried to give Yan Huang a final blow, but now his Dantian energy was sealed and he had sustained more damage to his abdomen. He needed to find a place to heal his wounds, otherwise he feared he wouldn’t be able to defeat the surrounding City Defense Army.

With great regret, he glanced at Yan Huang one last time. After all the calculations today and having gained an advantage twice, he still failed to kill Yan Huang. It seems this guy’s fate was not yet sealed.

He would have to wait for the next opportunity.

The Lightning Wings flapped behind Lin Zhen, almost completely relying on the speed of this divine artifact to carry him away, as he couldn’t even achieve free flight himself anymore.

Watching Lin Zhen leave, Yan Huang opened his mouth but didn’t stop Lin Zhen in the end, as his injuries were also severe. It might not end well if he forcibly tried to chase Lin Zhen.

Unexpectedly, his second confrontation with Lin Zhen ended in mutual injuries despite a significant increase in power, which left him extremely frustrated.

A sudden encounter due to Lin Zhen’s rescue of his parents came to a close.

Although Yan Huang was seriously injured, Lin Zhen was in no better shape. Yet, Lin Zhen managed to kill Huo Luofu and Laricus, two powerful opponents, and left the battlefield successfully, making him the winner of this battle.

World public opinion once again leaned towards Lin Zhen, and more people were leaving the Gods Clan. The decline seemed irreversible.

However, this time Yan Huang didn’t make any propaganda efforts to compensate. He had already let things take their course.

His primary goal was to recover as soon as possible and find the ascetic monks in the Iceland region. When everyone was together, he wouldn’t waste time talking to anyone. Relying on their formidable power, he would crush those who dared to go against the Gods Clan and let them taste the iron and fire.
