âWhat the hell? How did he get there?â
âDid those people over there go crazy? Who gave Lin Zhen the way?â
âWe didnât let him through, he came by himself.â
âAre you saying Iâm blind? With so many of you packed together, how could he pass without you making way?
These martial artists were a bit confused, no one would have thought that Lin Zhen would actually have such miraculous psychokinesis teleportation ability, some were at a loss.
However, the more than twenty corpses on the ground clearly told them that it was best not to oppose Lin Zhen, otherwise, they would die ugly.
âWhere are the Four Gods? You incited us to go forward, but now youâve retreated? Hurry up and attack!â
Hua Cangtian and the others were exposed to Lin Zhenâs line of sight as they were surrounded by the martial artists.
The three of them, together with Tong Huan, looked at each other, unsure of what to do next.
The first person to make a move was Tong Huan.
Tong Huan had always lived on the side of the Hive, previously following Zhou Butongâs lead. Now that Zhou Butong was dead and he had risen to power, he had no sense of belonging to the Sky Dome and wanted to back off.
âThe three of you, now that the Four Gods of Sky Dome are short one god, I believe if Miss Dong was here, Lin Zhen wouldnât dare be so arrogant. I will go find Miss Dong for you now.â
As he spoke, Tong Huan immediately turned and ran in the direction of the
Hive.
He had only run a few steps when suddenly Lin Zhenâs figure appeared in front of him, sweeping his spear quickly across the ground, creating a huge semi-circle by connecting the two lines he had drawn.
âAnyone who steps on the line will be killed!â Lin Zhenâs tone was flat.
At this time, Tong Huan couldnât stop his body, and was about to step on the line Lin Zhen had just drawn. Frightened, he quickly withdrew his foot, but his body was somewhat out of control, and he still couldnât stop himself, falling towards the line.
âPfft!â
With a flash of golden light, Tong Huanâs body fell heavily to the ground and never got up again, as blood slowly flowed out of him.
The moment Lin Zhen killed Tong Huan, Zhang Sihai suddenly made a move, leaping from the unlined area of the semicircle.
He was a natural Divine Speedster and had consumed a speed-type Special stargem, so he had absolute confidence in his own speed. He believed that as long as he rushed out of the Hive entrance, Lin Zhen wouldnât chase after him, abandoning his comrades and the many martial artists.
Once he returned to the Sky Dome, the Overlord would naturally deal with Lin Zhen.
People only saw a streak of light and felt a gale passing by their side before Zhang Sihai disappeared.
He disappeared quickly and reappeared even faster, his body seemed to have hit a wall and bounced back heavily!
Lin Zhen appeared again in front of his path, covered in a layer of golden protective shield, causing Zhang Sihai to bounce off the shield and back.
As his body lost balance, Lin Zhen raised his hand and shot a line of light golden rays, piercing Zhang Sihaiâs forehead before he even landed!
âUgh!â
Zhang Sihaiâs eyes lost focus, and by the time he fell to the ground, he had already lost his life.
Lin Zhen once again raised his shining silver spear and drew another semicircle on the ground: âThis line is the pool of thunder, if you want to cross
it, youâll have to ask my permission.â
As Lin Zhen completed this line, the martial artists were surprised to find that the lines he had drawn had now completely connected, forming a huge circle on the ground, enclosing everyone inside.
âAhh! Brother Lin is so great!â Zhao Xiaoman exclaimed excitedly.
Jiang Huai and the others also gaped, wondering how Lin Zhen learned this instant teleportation. This move was too strong, allowing him to go wherever he wanted.
As for people like Hua Cangtian, they were dumbfounded. What was Lin Zhen trying to do?
Was he planning to trap them all inside this circle and kill the remaining hundred or so people?
Hua Cangtian and Li Xuanqiong were initially desperate, thinking that if Zhang Sihai couldnât escape, neither could they. But now, they saw a glimmer of hope.
Lin Zhenâs arrogant and reckless actions seemed like something they could exploit.
Li Xuanqiong was the first to speak: âBrothers, thereâs no need to hesitate anymore. Lin Zhen wants to kill all of us, and his methods are bizarre. We donât want everyone to die in vain either, but thereâs only one of him. If we charge out from all directions, letâs see how many of us Lin Zhen can stop. Most people should still be able to escape alive. After escaping, letâs regroup at the Sky Dome!â
âThatâs right, letâs go! Letâs go live a good life at the Sky Dome and just leave the Hive to Lin Zhen to play with!â
Under the persuasion of Hua Cangtian and Li Xuanqiong, some martial artists were on the move again.
However, most people didnât move, as the more than twenty corpses on the ground constantly reminded them of the danger of crossing the line. Additionally, they didnât fully agree with Hua Cangtian and the others and believed that Lin Zhen wouldnât really kill them all.
About fifteen or sixteen people charged out first, not coming towards Lin Zhenâs side, but rushing out in the other three directions.
At this moment, everyone truly experienced the horror of Lin Zhenâs teleportation for the first time.
Within a second, people saw Lin Zhen appear on the left, his spear shaking, and three people fell!
Then, even before his figure on the left vanished, he appeared on the right, blocking two incoming knives with his spear, his hand opened and a light golden ray shot out, followed by the agonized screams of four people who fell into a pool of blood.
Next, he appeared behind them, his spear impaling three people. Then, he glanced at someone who was about to rush out, just one glance, and that person fell heavily to the ground, his eyes unfocused as if his brain nerves had been damaged by Lin Zhenâs gaze.
After that, he returned to the left, taking down two people who tried to take advantage of the chaos and escape.
As peopleâs vision blurred, Lin Zhen appeared on the left, on the right, and behind them, performing various moves and techniques. Those who tried to flee fell into pools of blood one after another. Not a single one of them could stand up. Each of them died precisely on the line he drew.
While Lin Zhen was on a killing spree, someone rushed towards the spot where Lin Zhen first stood, as there were no people there and it seemed to be the safest place.
It was Li Xuanqiong.
Dressed in black, Li Xuanqiong seemed like a bird returning to the forest at night, bolting straight for this place. His body had already crossed the line by more than three meters, making him joyful inside.
Since Lin Zhen drew the line, if he didnât step on it to get out, Lin Zhen shouldnât go back on his word and kill him, right?
Other Martial Artists witnessed this and wanted to see Li Xuanqiongâs outcome.
If Li Xuanqiong managed to jump out, they would follow suit.
Lin Zhen was on the opposite side, raising his hand towards Li Xuanqiong who was still in mid-air, âWhere are you going?â
People saw a bizarre scene. Li Xuanqiong, who was maintaining his mid-air posture, suddenly flew backward, and when he reached the line, he abruptly landed!
Li Xuanqiongâs feet touched the ground, and he almost thought he had escaped. He laughed heartily, âLin Zhen, Iâm out now, you canât go back on your word. I didnât step on the line. Iâll see you around!
âMmm⦠huh! â
Lin Zhen was already standing behind him, with his spear thrust through Li Xuanqiongâs back.
âIdiot, look at whatâs under your feet!â
Li Xuanqiong looked down and saw both his feet right on the line drawn by Lin Zhen. Then, his vision darkened, and his last thought was, âWhen did I come back? I was sure I had jumped out.â
With Li Xuanqiongâs fall, this wave of resistance dissipated.
Almost twenty more corpses lay on the ground. The original group of over a hundred Martial Artists was now reduced to eighty, one-third eliminated.
Watching Lin Zhen appear and disappear everywhere, cutting down those who tried to escape, the Martial Artists all thought of an absurd idea.
They were being besieged!
And it was a hundred of them being besieged by one man!
This notion seemed preposterous and inconceivable, but it was the reality. With just a circle drawn by one person, more than a hundred people were trapped inside, and anyone daring to step out of the circle was killed. They couldnât even run out together. Wasnât this a siege?
Lin Zhen, holding his shining silver spear, slowly walked outside the circle, âHmph, you seem to be behaving better now. It seems you finally understand my words: those who step on the line die. Why does it always take so much bloodshed to teach you to face reality?â
With trembling lips, Hua Cangtian asked, âLinâ¦Lin Zhenâ¦what are you going to do? Are you going to kill all of us?â
âI never said that. As long as you follow orders, you can live.â
All the Martial Artists breathed a sigh of relief. If obedience would spare their lives, they would surely comply.
Lin Zhen raised his spear and pointed at Hua Cangtian, âBut that doesnât include you!â
At Lin Zhenâs sudden gesture, Hua Cangtian almost wet his pants. Although he was a remarkable Martial Artist, he was nothing compared to the monstrous Lin Zhen. Facing death, he was no stronger than an ordinary person.
At that moment, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and several ice knives tore through the air, headed straight for Lin Zhen.
Dong Shencai had arrived!
Lin Zhen didnât care at all. He lifted his hand, and using his now nine times condensed Dantian energy in combination with gravity, he actually absorbed all of Dong Shencaiâs ice knives into his hand!
âWhat a cold knife, Dong Shencai, you finally came out.â Lin Zhen clenched his fist, strands of electric current wrapped around the ice knife, turning it into cold water that seeped into Lin Zhenâs palm.
Watching her ice knives gradually melt in Lin Zhenâs hand, Dong Shencai knew she no longer had any chance of winning.
She looked down at the ground, her feet right on the line.
âLin Zhen, Iâm no match for you, just kill me too,â Dong Shencai looked up.
âGo, tell Overlord at Sky Dome that Iâll be coming for him soon.â Lin Zhen replied, his eyes flashing with dark gold light as he looked at Dong Shencai.
At that moment, Hua Cangtian interjected, âShe also stepped on the line⦠and she attacked you too. If you can let her go, can 1â¦?â
whoosh!
A golden ray shot through Hua Cangtianâs forehead, killing him instantly.. Before his life had even vanished, he heard Lin Zhenâs unreasonable voice, âIf I feel like it!â
