Chapter 704: 707: The Kill List! (Third update)

Inside a small tavern in Nan Liang, dozens of people were watching the intense battle in the Dimensional Universe.

This battle, from when Lin Zhen rushed into the valley to the rescue, did not last more than a minute from start to finish.

However, this short one-minute battle was destined to become a classic.

Under the siege of a group of top World Kings, a Domain King Martial Artist actually managed to rescue someone. Who else could have done this?

This was probably a first in the Original World!

After a moment of silence in the tavern, a martial artist stood up and clapped. Following his lead, others stood up as well, and the applause became overwhelmingly fervent.

On the streets, in the houses, and in clubhouses, people began clapping spontaneously. The applause spread like a contagion, covering the entire land of Nan Liang in an instant!

Young people excitedly whistled, more excited than they would be on their wedding night.

“Lin Zhen! Lin Zhen! Lin Zhen!”

After the applause came the cheers that resounded through the skies for their hero.

Inside the Imperial Palace, Liang Zhihuan’s face was gloomy, and he slowly exhaled.

He turned to look at Laxia beside him, “Mr. Laxia, how do you explain this incident? I am now doubtful whether you can fulfill our agreement and eliminate Lin Zhen from the game.”

Laxia’s face was also unpleasant. In the midst of the battle, he was obstructed by a lotus flower from Lin Zhen and lost his attacking route. Lin Zhen’s immense combat power and unexpected tactics caught everyone off-guard, resulting in the failure of their operation.

After some thought, Laxia turned to Liang Zhihuan, “Your Majesty, you’d better not lose hope. This battle does not prove much.”

“Lin Zhen managed to rescue someone under the joint attack of several of you, and this doesn’t prove a problem? What would prove a problem, then?”

Laxia shook his head, “Your Majesty, there are many objective factors in this battle. The biggest one is that everyone has only taken Qin Jianfeng’s money and it’s not worth risking their lives to deal with Lin Zhen. Didn’t you see? Boston, Bull Demon King, Holy Word, and I each made a move, and Long Xiaonan was a bit too arrogant for the first time, caught off guard by Lin Zhen’s quick spear. The result of this battle would have been different if we had known Lin Zhen’s details beforehand.”

“Are you saying that none of you went all out?”

“Of course, none of us went all out, including Qin Jianfeng in the end. He wanted to defeat Lin Zhen with his swift sword, but Lin Zhen blocked with both hands. He did not expect Lin Zhen’s body to be as strong as steel now, so he lost control momentarily and Lin Zhen was able to escape. However, that doesn’t mean Lin Zhen is stronger than us. Otherwise, why wouldn’t he stay and defeat all of us?”

Even though Laxia said so, Liang Zhihuan’s face did not get any better. Regardless, it was becoming more and more difficult to kill Lin Zhen.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. I will discuss this with everyone inside and try to get everyone to take this seriously. Now, Qin Jianfeng, Jun Mo, and I all hate Lin Zhen to the bone. Holy Word and Long Xiaonan have also suffered losses and they should stand with us. As long as we all go all out, I guarantee that Lin Zhen will be no match for us!”

“What about Boston and the Bull Demon King?”

“As long as we all agree, I believe they will not stand idly by. The only way now is for everyone to unite, put aside everything else, and focus on killing Lin Zhen.”

“I don’t care how you do it, but Lin Zhen must be eliminated. Otherwise, our deal is void, and Mr. Laxia will have to return double the deposit I gave you!”

Liang Zhihuan left with a flick of his sleeve. Now that Ning Qingxuan’s master Iron Granny had arrived, he needed to discuss how to bring Ning Qingxuan back. As for Lin Zhen, if he really couldn’t be eliminated, Liang Zhihuan would at least tarnish his reputation!

Embracing Feng Qingluan, Lin Zhen rushed directly to the peak of One-line Sky.

From this angle, Lin Zhen could even see the layer of yellow haze covering the sky.

This layer was the barrier set up by the Deity for the Divine Punishment Star. With this barrier, the Divine Punishment Star was both unapproachable from the outside and inescapable from within.

Looking up, the barrier was so close to him.

The extremely fierce, bone-chilling Gang Wind in the sky seemed like it could tear people’s skin apart.

With a thought in Lin Zhen’s mind, the petals of the lotus served like a protective shield, enveloping both him and Little Phoenix at the same time.

Little Phoenix in his arms was already extremely weak. She had suffered such heavy injuries and was hit with the Holy Word Skill. Her condition was terrible.

“Qingluan, cheer up. Don’t worry about your injuries. I’m now an Alchemist, a Sixth-grade Alchemist at the Great Elder level. I’m confident in healing your injuries.”

Lin Zhen hurriedly took out an elixir to carefully treat Feng Qingluan.

Feng Qingluan gently shook her head, “There’s no need, Lin Zhen. We’re on the Divine Punishment Star, death here only means returning to where we entered.”

“No! I can’t just watch you die in front of me.” Lin Zhen thought of how Little Phoenix had used the Phoenix Flame in front of him before, and the fear lingered in his heart.

“Don’t be silly. What’s the use of treating me now? It would take me at least a few months to recover, but if I leave the Divine Punishment Star and receive Divine Power treatment, I’ll be healed instantly.”

“But…”

“Stop wasting your energy, Lin Zhen. Just seeing you come back to save me already makes me very satisfied. At most, I’ll lose some points. My current points rank second, and even if I lose half of them, I’ll still be in the top ten. I’ll still get a spot to refine an Advanced Divine Body. What will I lose, then?”

Lin Zhen was speechless for a while. Little Phoenix was right; being eliminated now seemed like a relief for her.

“The Divine Punishment Star is about to end, and I will also be at my limit. Lin Zhen, promise me one thing.”

“Just tell me what’s going on.”

“No matter who it is, if they try to suppress my ranking, you need to eliminate them for me. You have to ensure that I obtain an Advanced Divine Body.”

“Don’t worry, you’re my wife, and I promise I’ll make it happen. Not only will I ensure you obtain a Divine Body, but I’ll also avenge you. I won’t let anyone who hurt you go unpunished. But can’t you hang in there a bit? I can protect you. Let’s stay together until the end of the Divine Punishment Star.”

“Lin Zhen, we haven’t seen each other for a thousand years. Don’t you want to kiss your wife?” Little Phoenix changed the subject.

Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment, then gently kissed Feng Qingluan’s cherry lips.

Feng Qingluan passionately responded, pulling Lin Zhen’s hand at the same time.

A moment later, Lin Zhen felt that Feng Qingluan seemed to have put something into his hand.

Before he could react, he suddenly felt Little Phoenix’s divine body tremble.

Lin Zhen looked down and saw a short knife that Little Phoenix had handed him. The knife was now in his hand, and its blade was already piercing Little Phoenix’s abdomen.

“Qing Luan! What are you doing?”

“Lin Zhen, I don’t want to hold you back. I’ll be at ease like this… You can fight without restraint… And be careful of Qin Jianfeng, he’s very strong…”

“Qing Luan!”

“Remember… to find me… in the Phoenix Clan…”

Feng Qingluan’s head gently leaned on Lin Zhen’s chest, and her body flashed with a green light, enveloping her. She had fully recovered.

A notification echoed in the Dimensional Universe that Feng Qingluan had been eliminated by Lin Zhen.

“Qing Luan…”

Watching Little Phoenix being eliminated, Lin Zhen’s heart burned with rage.

“Qin Jianfeng, Jun Mo, and the rest of you, if you dare to gang up on a weak woman, don’t blame me!”

Lin Zhen was determined that before the end of the Divine Punishment Star, he would not spare any of them!

“Master, take a look at the Dimensional Universe’s leaderboard. You are now ranked eighth.” Chris’s voice sounded at this moment.

Lin Zhen quickly looked at the leaderboard, and indeed, the current ranking was: Qin Jianfeng at the top, followed by Jun Mo, then Boston, La Moti, Holy Word, Bull Demon King, Long Xiaonan, and finally, Lin Zhen was now ranked eighth.

With the points from Little Phoenix, he directly entered the top ten.

“Master, what are you going to do next? Go back and fight?”

Lin Zhen shook his head slightly, opened the protective lotus, and exposed himself to the Nine Heavens Gang Wind, which was nothing to him, who possessed a Super Divine Body.

The cold wind cleared his mind a little, and he turned his back to face it, taking out a piece of paper and a pen.

This scene was clearly seen by everyone who had been paying attention to Lin Zhen. They had just seen Lin Zhen and Feng Qingluan disappear behind the lotus, and now they heard Feng Qingluan had been eliminated by Lin Zhen. They suspected that she had indeed chosen to help Lin Zhen.

So, what was Lin Zhen writing now?

With his pen, Lin Zhen quickly wrote down a series of names.

The first one was Jun Mo. Lin Zhen believed that Jun Mo was more despicable than Qin Jianfeng, and he had to be eliminated.

Next was Qin Jianfeng, the mastermind behind everything. Although he was the strongest, he was also the instigator of the harm done to Little Phoenix, so he had to be dealt with as well.

Then came La Moti, Holy Word, Boston, Bull Demon King, Long Xiaonan…

This list included all those who attacked Little Phoenix in one swoop.

At the end of the list, Lin Zhen wrote two words: “Must Kill.”

“Little Phoenix, you watch from the outside. See how these people are eliminated one by one!”

Having said this to the void, Lin Zhen put away the paper and pen, and then took out the Pill Furnace.

He was going to refine pills once again.

Through the recent battles, Lin Zhen knew that these people had extraordinary strength, and they might even have hidden cards. He needed to increase his strength further.

This time, the elixir was to be used for expelling the Bone Etching Divine Needle. Previously he had almost collected all the necessary bones, lacking only the Phoenix bone. Now that he had Jun Mo’s arm, he could unseal the second Divine Needle.

Unsealing this Divine Needle would also release 1.5 million Star Energy from his clone. With the Star Energy Transfer, that would amount to 3 million Star Energy, an undoubtedly huge boost!

One day was enough. See you in a day!
