Baggio saw Yan Huang turn and flee, which almost made his nose crooked with anger.
I risked my life to help you withstand Lin Zhenâs Thunder Kill, and now youâre trying to pull this stunt.
If it wasnât for their shared common interests and Yan Huangâs status as the Pope, Baggio really wanted to wash his hands of it all, but he couldnât.
âYour Majesty, if you leave now, our Eastern Expedition plans will come to an end here.â
Yan Huang was also somewhat frightened by Lin Zhenâs ruthlessness, and upon hearing Baggioâs words, he stopped his escape.
The Light Quanta began to heal his injuries, and Yan Huang returned to the fray, wielding his scythe.
This time, it wasnât so easy for Lin Zhen to achieve victory.
Baggio was at the Comet Level 5, and Yan Huang was at the peak of Level 9 in the Meteor level. Both of them were strong; however, fortunately, after mastering an unstoppable skill, Lin Zhen could already confront true experts head-on.
The three of them fought from the sky to the ground and then from the ground back to the sky, their intense battle shocking the world.
The more Baggio and Yan Huang fought, the more frustrated they became. Lin Zhenâs speed and power with the gun were astonishing, and against both of them, he still managed to hold his ground.
âYour Majesty, we have to retreat and regroup with the main forces.â
Baggio launched a mental shock, and Yan Huang immediately seized the opportunity to teleport away.
Lin Zhen was prepared for Baggioâs mental shock. It couldnât hurt him, but it also couldnât prevent Yan Huang from teleporting.
Yan Huang teleported several hundred meters away, once again attacked Lin Zhen from a distance, and Baggio took this opportunity to teleport away as well.
After repeating this process a few times, both of them returned to the group of ascetic monks.
Lin Zhen pursued them by flapping his Lightning Wings, charging straight into the ascetic monksâ camp.
The ascetic monks had been prepared for a long time. Under the command of a Comet Stage monk, the Judgment of Light had already been prepared.
âLin Zhen! Donât be impulsive. Be careful of their combined technique!â
Jin Qichao shouted from behind, worried that Lin Zhen would be injured.
However, Lin Zhen was fearless. He turned his head and yelled to the group of Hua Xia Martial Artists, âGet ready for a counterattack!â
With that said, Lin Zhen suddenly raised his hand, and the Dark Star Gravitational Force was unleashed!
Lin Zhen was prepared for the combined technique of the ascetic monks. If he could break their formation, their technique would not be effective. Gravity was the best way to break through the formation.
Dark Star from the Dark Ancient Era within his dantian started to revolve, projecting a planetary gravitational force through the fusion space that covered the area the monks were in.
This was true planetary gravity. No matter how strong the ascetic monks were, they could not resist such immense gravitational force!
More than a dozen ascetic monks fell to the ground in disarray, spinning uncontrollably as they flew towards Lin Zhenâs direction.
Lin Zhenâs figure flickered in mid-air, his speed pushed to the limit. As each uncontrollable monk passed by, Lin Zhen struck them down with his gun!
After killing five or six Star Core Stage monks in a row, this round of Judgment of Light was broken.
Seeing Lin Zhen charge into the monksâ camp like a tiger among sheep, the Star Realm experts of Hua Xia were once again stirred to action.
Jin Qichao brandished his long sword and shouted to the Hua Xia Martial Artists behind him, âMartial artists of Hua Xia, my fellow compatriots, Lin Zhen has already defeated the enemy, and now it is time for us to fight alongside Lin Zhen and destroy the invaders for Hua Xia!â
âAlright! Letâs go!â
âWeâve finally waited for this moment, brothers, letâs go together!â
More than fifty Star Realm Experts rushed out, turning into beams of light, and charging into the ascetic monksâ camp.
Baggio didnât expect their prided combined technique to be broken so easily by Lin Zhen. Seeing the monks being killed one by one, his eyes turned red with anger.
âLin Zhen! Donât be so arrogant!â
He released a strong light three feet long from his long sword, making it two meters long. Wielding the huge sword, he charged at Lin Zhen once again.
âGood timing! Iâve been wanting to have a proper fight with you for a long time!â
Lin Zhen swung his Raging Light, with his unstoppable skill activated, clashing head-on against Baggio!
The waves caused by his spear felt as heavy as a mountain with each strike. Despite being at the Comet Stage, Baggio still found himself at a disadvantage against Lin Zhen.
âYour Majesty, letâs join forces once again!â
Baggio called out to Yan Huang again, but this time, Yan Huang was genuinely afraid.
He was originally an extremely proud person, but, after several defeats at the hands of Lin Zhen, he started to feel as though he could not defeat him.
However, with Baggio currently being suppressed by Lin Zhen, and the battle being broadcasted live to the whole world, he couldnât back down at this point.
He raised the Light Annihilation once more and rejoined the fight, the three of them quickly becoming entangled in battle again in the sky.
Not only were they battling each other, but all of the Hua Xia martial artists were also engaged in a fierce conflict against the ascetic monks.
Over a hundred people fighting in the sky was a sight to behold. The energy surged into the yellow sand, raising clouds of dust like a sandstorm.
Light, electricity, wind, and fire, all sorts of energy elements were rampant, making it difficult to see the fighters inside.
Only occasionally would a scream echo out, as someoneâs body spun down from the sky.
This time, the battle between the Hua Xia Martial Artists and the Ascetic monks was evenly matched, unlike before.
The online uproar intensified as Lin Zhenâs participation boosted peopleâs confidence endlessly.
Su Na couldnât contain her excitement, finding a song from her control dashboardâs music library and playing it.
This song was the national anthem of Hua Xia during the Common Era, a time before the music industry had dried up, leaving behind only ancient melodies, forgotten by many. Yet this anthem still remained and was familiar to all.
âTurn the volume up to maximum, and let it echo outside. Lift the spirits of our Hua Xia Warriors!â
The loudspeakers blared, and the sound of music played overhead.
âAriseâ¦people who refuse to be slaves!â
As the music resounded, the combatants on the field momentarily froze.
However, soon enough, someone started laughing, âNice! Well done. Even though we Martial Artists should not interfere in mortal affairs, this time, let us indulge in this fight and bury these Gods Clan bastards in the dust!â
As Su Naâs music played from her hovercraft, many other Hua Xia crafts shared her song and played it in sync.
Undoubtedly, this morale boost was immeasurable. The Hua Xia warriors fought more ferociously, while the Ascetic Monksâ morale kept declining.
Their fusion skills failed every time, disrupted by Lin Zhenâs gravitational pulls. This left the Hua Xia warriors to swiftly counter-attack, causing the Monks further casualties. Eventually, the Monks stopped using their fusion skills altogether.
Yan Huang and Baggio, the two main forces of the Monks, were held back by Lin Zhen. The battle grew more and more passive from their perspective.
âYour Majesty! Use light refraction!â
Baggio roared, and Yan Huang nodded. Both of them shook their bodies simultaneously, emitting countless rays of light and disappearing in mid-air.
âHaha! Your control of light quantum is impressive, using light distortion for invisibility. But youâve miscalculated!â
Lin Zhen watched the two disappear and swung his hand, spreading freezing air.
With temperatures dipping to minus 100 degrees Celsius, those who approached were either frozen stiff or slowed.
The invisibility of Baggio and Yan Huang became ineffective. They both appeared, releasing strong light to counter Lin Zhenâs freezing air.
Lin Zhen raised his hand, the Seven Stars Knife soared into the sky, engulfing Baggio and Yan Huang with its seven energy elements. Holding a spear, he charged forward, pushing his invincible martial techniques to the limit. He intended to turn this advantage into victory.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Baggio and Yan Huang were injured due to their tactical loss. In Lin Zhenâs typical style, he did not relent, giving his enemies no space to breathe.
âThe Chinese Nation has arrivedâ¦at its most perilous moment!!!â
âMarch forth courageously toward victoryâ¦!!!â
As the inspiring song played, the Hua Xia warriors finally gained the absolute advantage and launched a full counterattack.
Jin Qichao and Shang Jin both grabbed the other two early-stage Comets on the opposing side. Although these Ascetic monks were only at the early Comet stage, Jin Qichao and Shang Jin, ranked second and third on the Dark Star List, were similarly battle-hardened and capable of challenging those of higher levels.
Luo Yun and Dongfang Jun led elite teams to break the enemyâs formation, creating a disordered scene. With one final push, the tide of battle shifted in their favor.
Both those on the battlefield and those watching online were filled with tears of joy. The eastward invasion of the church would fail â Hua Xia would finally achieve victory!
It was then that Xiao Nuan suddenly emerged, opening its mouth widely for its Innate Devouring technique!
It was no longer a newborn Galaxy Beast but a young one, its devouring power now increased, capable of taking down those at Meteor Level and below.
About forty Ascetic Monks were left, including seven or eight at Star Core Period. Caught off guard by Xiao Nuan, they were swallowed up.
After losing those seven or eight men, only thirty-odd monks remained. Their numbers once again fell behind the Hua Xia Martial Artists.
After swallowing the men, Xiao Nuan rushed to assist, entangling several Meteor Monks and preventing their escape.
As if it was the last straw that broke the camelâs back, the Ascetic Monks could not hold on any longer.
Baggio continued to fight, while Yan Huang attempted to retreat once more.
âJudicator, we canât resist any longer. Our opponents are about to win, and theyâll soon come to support Lin Zhen. Letâs retreat!â
âRetreat? Where can we retreat to now? If you want to leave, just go! Iâve got nowhere else to run!â
Throughout the battle, Baggio had been frustrated. Lin Zhenâs Thunder Kill had weakened his combat prowess by half, leaving the situation irretrievable.
Retreat was now impossible. Baggio looked at the triumphant Hua Xia Warriors and sighed. Suddenly, he lunged at Lin Zhen.
His Star Power swelled, preparing to detonate himself and take Lin Zhen down with him!
