Watching the charging Jun Mo, a thought struck Feng Qingluanâs heart. Their current situation seemed hopeless, but if Jun Mo risked his life to save her, there might be a glimmer of hope.
As this thought crossed her mind, her actions slowed slightly.
Seeing Jun Mo rushing to rescue Feng Qingluan, Qin Jianfeng and the others subtly retreated, on full alert, but made no move to stop him.
Observing this scene, a sudden shock ran through Feng Qingluanâs mind. Something was off!
It was too late to react. Jun Mo had already arrived at her side. He had been holding a sword, but when he reached her, he suddenly thrust it fiercely into her chest!
Feng Qingluan, already exhausted to the extreme point, could only slightly twist her body to avoid the region of her heart.
Thud~!
With a single stroke, blood splattered, and Feng Qingluan grunted. The gathered flames dissipated immediately, making her unable to unleash the suicidal Phoenix Flame attack.
âJun Mo⦠why?â
Feng Qingluan felt betrayed. She had come to rescue the Phoenix Clan, only to be stabbed by Jun Mo.
Looking at the fallen Feng Qingluan, a hint of unwillingness showed in Jun Moâs eyes. He slowly crouched down, gazing at Feng Qingluanâs beautiful face, âQing Luan, donât blame me. The situation today canât be changed, and weâre undoubtedly defeated. Rather than being eliminated by others, itâd be better for me to do it. This way, no one else can gain points from you.â
Feng Qingluanâs gaze dimmed, âYou conspired with them?â
âI had no choice. I am the young master of the Phoenix Clan. We neighbored Da Qin. Youâve incensed so many people, and Iâm saddled with mopping up the mess. For the Phoenix Clan, I must back down. But, Qing Luan, I hope you understand, my heartâ¦loves youâ¦..â
âSlap~!!â
A slap that wasnât too loud landed on Jun Moâs face. Feng Qingluanâs eyes were as cold as ice, âShameless!â
âFine! If you think Iâm shameless or despicable, so be it. Nonetheless, the conclusion today canât be changed. I know you fancy Lin Zhen, but Qing Luan, you must understand that your destiny is to be my wife. When the time comes, you will realize my good intentionsâ¦.â
After he finished speaking, Jun Mo held up his hand, the sword still smeared with blood, âQing Luan, Iâm sorry!â
********
âQuick, quick, quicker!â
Lin Zhen was transported to District 100. After leaving the transport array, he immediately pinpointed his direction.
The One-line Sky was situated in the easternmost part of District 100, very easy to locate and on the outer edge of the Eastern Continent.
Accelerating, he drove the shield with his spiritual power to its limit.
The wind roared in his ears. His hair was drawn out straight by the speed. The distance of thousands of kilometers flew by in an instant.
The One-line Sky lay up ahead!
From a distance, Lin Zhen even spotted the crowd at the entrance of the One-line Sky.
Incredibly, more than a thousand people had gathered here!
The map was littered with hundreds of hero banners.
These martial artists hailed from various continents, gathered together without any disputes, given that their bosses had formed an alliance.
In the martial artistsâ minds, the battle would end after this stage. Their ranks were largely fixed, and there was no need to fight to death.
The Lore Creatures outnumbered the martial artists by just tens of thousands. Once the battle ended, everyone could help eliminate some Lore creatures and then go home.
Hence, everyone was in a relaxed mood, chatting at the entrance to the One-line Sky.
Those with Hero banners were praised by the ordinary martial artists, presenting a harmonious scene.
A martial artist of the Dragon Clan, viewing the map, chuckled, âWell, everyone chips in to carry the bride. These independents outsiders are quick on the uptake. Having figured out the windâs direction, theyâve come to join us. Ah, here comes another Hero banner.â
Some martial artists leaned over to glance at the Dragon Clanâs martial artistâs map.
They saw a dot on the map quickly approachingâa flag signaling an incoming Hero banner.
âItâs a Hero banner coming. I wonder which side theyâre from?â
âWho cares where theyâre from? Our mission here is to guard the entrance to the One-line Sky strictly, allowing no one to pass. Even if theyâre powerful, they canât be more powerful than the bosses in the valley.â
âAbsolutely! The top heroes in the rankings are all here. There are no experts outside anymore.â
The Dragon Clan martial artist frowned, âThis guy is moving too fast. Heâs almost here. You guys go stop him and ask him if heâs in a rush to be reborn. If he doesnât know how to behave, weâll tell him who weâre with!â
Three martial artists got up and sauntered over to intercept the newcomer.
Descending the valley, they saw a ray of light quickly approaching.
âHalt! Whoeverâs approaching, stop right there! This area is the One-line Sky, important territory. The bosses are conducting important business here, no unauthorized people are allowed in!â
The streak of light didnât slow down at all, instead, its speed increased!
âDamn! What kind of greenhorn is this? Let me tell you, the Bull Demon King is busy fighting inside, and so is Qin Jianfeng. Wise up and stop or else youâllâ¦ugh!â
A mental shock from afar struck him, rendering the shouting martial artist brain-dead on the spot. He was out of the game, enveloped in a green glow!
Before his body could float up, the intruder had already shot past him at high speed.
The two remaining martial artists just stood there stupefied while the incoming person ignored them entirely and quickly disappeared.
One of the martial artists hesitated for a moment and then suddenly remembered who the person flashing past them had been.
Upon seeing that manâs face, his legs couldnât help but tremble.
How had this God of Slaughter returned? Todayâs events were likely to change!
But he didnât forget his duty, coming from the Demon Lion Clan, he had a thunderous voice.
Tightening his throat, a piercing sound began to reverberate!
âInvasion! Invasion! The man is Lin Zhen! Beware! Itâs Lin Zhen, the disappeared Lin Zhen has returned!â
Unfortunately, he was too slow to shout. Because Lin Zhenâs speed had already far surpassed the speed of sound, by the time his voice reached the valley entrance, it had already been thrown into chaos.
Lin Zhen saw the situation here, he didnât hesitate at all and just rushed straight in.
But the people above also saw Lin Zhen charging over. Every single one of them that had survived until now was a strong one, and their reactions were extremely quick.
âStop him!â
The Dragon Clan Martial Artists roared, and everyone moved forward!
Some people had already recognized Lin Zhen, but at this moment there were over a thousand people gathered here, with even a hundred âHero Bannersâ. How could they fear Lin Zhen who was alone? Attacks from all directions began to strike at him!
Under these circumstances, it was difficult for Lin Zhen to charge in all at once, but he had his own way of breaking through.
Satellite Fall!
To breach, one must use a spear. Lin Zhen held the Yin-Yang Spear in his hand, the spear tip wound up the airflow, gradually forming a huge satellite during the process of sprinting!
He planned to use this satellite to barge in!
The first wave of martial artists trying to stop Lin Zhen suffered!
Their star power was far inferior to that of Lin Zhen, not to mention that Lin Zhen now had refined his divine body, which made him even harder for them to block.
All the attacks were blocked by the satellite, and it continued to advance, crashing towards them!
Or rather it wasnât exactly aimed at them, as the satellite was just advancing towards the entrance of One-line Sky canyon and they just happened to be in the path of Lin Zhenâs charge.
âStop him! Donât let him enter the canyon!â
A few of the âHero Bannersâ yelled out. Seeing their attacks unable to stop the satelliteâs advance, they immediately charged over, using all their star power to block the path of the satellite.
âMothing attempting to block a car! Overestimating your abilities!â
Lin Zhen was already impatient, his eyebrows twitched and the lotus flower bloomed in his third eye, as the star power erupted once again!
Boom-boom-boom!
Finally a collision happened!
Several âHero Bannersâ immediately spit out blood, being directly knocked away by Lin Zhenâs charge!
âAgain!â
Another wave of martial artists charged over, contesting him with their star power.
Blood splattered again, many people on the spot were pulverized by the satelliteâs impact!
âAgain! We have many people, though his satellite is fierce, it cannot borrow force in the vacuum, under the influence of gravity, it will quickly fall, he canât charge forward!â
Under the lead of the âHero Bannersâ, countless martial artists mobbed him from all directions like moths to a flame, they simply didnât believe they couldnât stop Lin Zhen.
If one were to look down from afar at this time, they would see an astonishing sight.
A globule of starlight like a planet was advancing destructively in front of Lin Zhenâs spear, while at the entrance of the valley, countless martial artists rushed forward like raindrops, only to be knocked flying by the satellite, then more people came forward.
If this continued, Lin Zhen would ultimately be blocked.
As that âHero Bannerâ said, Lin Zhen in the vacuum was powerless and would fall, he definitely couldnât last long.
However, Lin Zhen didnât, just as his impact force was about to end, a lotus suddenly bloomed under his foot!
The tip of his foot lightly touched the lotus, and he who was already exhausted obtained new strength again.
His hands moved like lightning, his powerful body could withstand the rapid discharge of star power, he launched a second Satellite Fall!
If the first time was a stalemate, then this second time was an attack, Lin Zhenâs change of moves was so fast that no one could react, and the second Satellite Fall arrived!
There was of course a difference between the impact of a car about to stop and that of a speeding car!
This time it was a disaster!
Over a hundred martial artists were hit by Lin Zhenâs Satellite Fall, suddenly they suffered broken bones and severed tendons, and with blood flying in all directions!
With one blow, at least fifty people were killed, among them were seven or eight âHero Bannersâ!
Suddenly, a string of elimination messages fluttered up in the Dimensional Universe, all were about Lin Zhen eliminating certain âHero Bannersâ.
The whole world went silent at this moment.
Whether it was inside the Divine Punishment Star, in the Original World, or in the soon-to-conclude battle in One-line Sky.
This string of messages told them something â Lin Zhen, who had disappeared for ten months and was deemed hopeless to rank, had returned!
