Chapter 765: Chapter 768: Counterattack in Despair!

After stepping onto the stage, Zhao Lihua lightly tapped the ground with her bamboo cane.

Her eyes seemed to be shooting ice knives, revealing a sinister smile as she faced Lin Zhen.

“Lin Zhen, when I came to the stage, someone warned me to be careful with you. I really don’t understand, what should I be cautious about when facing a little brat like you?”

Lin Zhen drew his Sky-cutting Divine Sword: “You will know soon.”

“Ha-ha, let’s see.”

Even before Zhao Lihua finished her words the bamboo cane had already reached Lin Zhen’s eyes.

Lin Zhen swiftly blocked with his sword, producing a deafening sound, leaving his arm feeling slightly numb!

At this moment Lin Zhen’s Divine Power Pills were in effect, his Star Power reaching over 67 million, but even so, Zhao Lihua’s bamboo cane produced a tingling sensation in his arm. The old woman’s Star Power was simply outrageous!

Not only was Lin Zhen shocked, but Zhao Lihua was also astonished. Her 80 million Star Power could not force Lin Zhen to back off, this young man was truly shocking.

In the midst of her surprise, Zhao Lihua’s determination to kill soared. This boy must be eliminated!

Wielding her bamboo cane, she fiercely attacked Lin Zhen on the platform, engaging him in a fierce battle!

Lin Zhen didn’t really want to continue the deadlock with Zhao Lihua. Because the effect of the Divine Power Pills only lasted for another seven or eight minutes. Once the effect wore off, he would enter a weak period and would undoubtedly be defeated.

To finish the conflict, he must do it during the effective period of the drugs.

The solution was to transform into the Black Hole Beast and Devour with the Black Hole Storm, which could certainly wipe out Zhao Lihua.

The transformation into the Black Hole Beast took a bit of time and required a certain distance, but Zhao Lihua didn’t give him that opportunity. The attack pattern of her bamboo cane was like a flooding river, sticking Lin Zhen in close combat and not giving him any room to distance himself.

One was desperately trying to disengage from the battlefield to transform, while the other was tightly clinging to him. Lin Zhen was at a slight disadvantage mentally.

“Slap~!”

The bamboo cane hit Lin Zhen’s ribs, breaking several of them.

There was a stuffy feeling in his chest, which nearly made him spit out blood.

“Ha-ha-ha~! Lin Zhen, don’t think I don’t know your plan. You want to use your Black Hole Beast transformation to fight me? I have been on guard against this move for a long time. Unfortunately, you don’t have the ability to use it while facing me.”

The bamboo cane transformed into a continuous stream of water, permeating everywhere like quicksilver.

After enduring a hit, Lin Zhen felt extremely uncomfortable. The bamboo cane was of a spiritual treasure level, and each hit made his internal organs shake.

Temporarily giving up his idea of retreating, Lin Zhen focused on the battle.

At this moment, Lin Zhen was practically at his peak strength with the highest Star Power, and his combat experience and techniques were top-notch.

Although Zhao Lihua had 80 million star power, she could only utilize 90% of it, which was 72 million. Compared to Lin Zhen’s current level, it was less than 5 million, a gap that was almost negligible.

When Lin Zhen put aside his thoughts of escaping from her and decided to fight head-on, Zhao Lihua finally recognized the true strength of this young man.

Despite her decades of experience, she wasn’t able to gain the upper hand against Lin Zhen!

If it weren’t for Lin Zhen’s handsome face before her, she might have thought she was facing an old monster, which had lived for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years!

“This…how is this possible?”

Zhao Lihua was a bit sweaty on her forehead. She originally thought that Lin Zhen, being a World King, could not be her opponent. But unexpectedly, he turned out to be this powerful.

Boom~!

A fireball came smashing towards her. Zhao Lihua swung her bamboo cane to disperse it. Amidst the blazing flames, a Planet rained down from the sky!

It was too late to dodge. Zhao Lihua had no choice but to withstand the hit.

The bamboo cane collided with the Planet. Although the Planet was shattered, Zhao Lihua felt stuffy in her chest and staggered backward.

Lin Zhen stepped on his Plum Blossom Piles and swept with the Sky-cutting Divine Sword in his hand!

“Zing~~!!”

Zhao Lihua blocked with her cane, but she lost her last resistance.

His palm emitted a ray of sword light, and his body rotated, sweeping out a succession of strikes!

Zhao Lihua bent down to dodge with all her might. She avoided the strike to the head, but her hair wasn’t so lucky. Her high bun was hit by Lin Zhen’s succession of sword strikes!

“Puff~!!”

Along with her scalp and a large amount of hair, Lin Zhen sliced off with one sword strike!

Zhao Lihua screamed as blood slid down from her head. Although this strike didn’t cause any serious injury, it made her look extremely miserable.

More than half of her hair was cut off, and blood streamed down her face, which made her look fierce and terrifying, like a demon.

Lin Zhen pulled back after his successful attack, planning to use the Black Hole Devour to completely eliminate Zhao Lihua.

But before he could transform into the Black Hole Beast, Zhao Lihua suddenly raised her hand!

A grey, mountain-like object ascended and directly reached the top of the protective shield of the stage, and a great pressure descended from the sky!

A Martial Artist alone can shoulder mountains and manipulate the moon.

But at this moment, Lin Zhen felt a giant star instead of a mountain on his head!

Under Zhao Lihua’s Star Power, this mountain-like thing emitted a gravitational force similar to a planet, and it nearly caused Lin Zhen to kneel on the ground!

Armorization~!

Lin Zhen instinctively used Armorization, and pressed both hands on the ground. Blood flowed out from the gaps between his scales. His bones made crackling sounds, as if they were about to break at any moment!

The fighting stage this time was newly built and was much stronger than the previous one. Yet, delicate cracks began to appear under Lin Zhen’s feet.

“What is… what is this?”

Seeing that Lin Zhen was unable to move, the embarrassed Zhao Lihua approached him.

By wiping her face with her hand, the stream of blood made her face more menacing.

Gritting her teeth, Zhao Lihua snarled, “You little bastard! Let’s see how you manage to turn things around this time. I’m going to flay you alive!”

Lin Zhen strained to raise his hand. In his palm was an amulet. As long as he crushed it, he would be able to leave the arena.

“Crack~!”

Zhao Lihua’s bamboo stick flew through the air and landed directly on Lin Zhen’s wrist.

His wrist hurt and the amulet fell, only to be snatched by Zhao Lihua.

“Trying to run! It’s already too late. However many strands of my hair you’ve cut off, I’ll carve that many pieces of flesh off you!”

A dagger flashing with cold light appeared in Zhao Lihua’s hand, and it swung down!

Under the oppressive force of the planet-sized weight above him, Lin Zhen had no chance to dodge. A swathe of his flesh was sliced clean off, along with his scales!

“Hahaha~! This is so thrilling! This time you’ve transformed to such a large size, it’s enough for me to deliver tens of thousands of cuts. Lin Zhen, I know your Divine Body is strong, but I wonder if you can survive being cut into pieces!”

Thunk, thunk, thunk~!

As the knife flew around, Lin Zhen was immediately covered in wounds!

“Husband!”

Ning Qingxuan’s heart nearly shattered watching this scene. In this moment, she truly felt fear.

Lin Zhen was now unable to leave the arena. Was he going to be brutally murdered here?

“Grandmaster, please show mercy!”

Ning Qingxuan’s pleading had no effect; Zhao Lihua heard but only gave her a cold gaze.

Lin Zhen heard it too, looked back at Ning Qingxuan, and slightly shook his head.

Ning Qingxuan froze. In Lin Zhen’s eyes, she glimpsed his unyielding spirit.

Excitement spread around the arena. Finally, the people from the Qin Kingdom could cheer. Lin Zhen was now a lamb to the slaughter, without any hope of turning the tables!

Under the cheer of the people, Zhao Lihua’s spirits soared even higher.

Knife in one hand and bamboo stick in the other, she launched a furious onslaught on Lin Zhen!

“Serves you right for daring to oppose this old woman! Do you think the Nan Liang is someone you can offend? The Qingye Sect is a place you can disrespect? Have you thought about the consequences when you were being so cocky?”

Lin Zhen’s body bent under the relentless attacks, but he didn’t collapse!

“Thud~!”

Like a dying gasp, Lin Zhen grabbed Zhao Lihua’s ankle.

“Hahaha! You still wish to struggle? It’s pitiful that this is useless. I will sever your hand right now!”

The knife in her hand was swung, cutting into Lin Zhen’s wrist.

However, after the blade sliced into his flesh, it couldn’t advance easily. Lin Zhen’s Immortal Spiritual Body was not just for show. It was already hard to cut through his scales, and when it reached the bone, the knife could no longer progress.

“What a tough Divine Body. But it’s useless. Right now, you can’t even move. Even if you hold onto this old woman’s ankle, it won’t make any difference. I can still kill you and cut you to pieces!”

The sounds of bamboo stick and flying knife continued to fall relentlessly!

There were cheers, silence, and people weeping in the crowd.

But everyone had come to accept that this battle was over. Lin Zhen’s tragic end was not only near, but it had also arrived.

On the back of the Blue Whale, Emperor Zhu Ziheng’s Queen sighed lightly, “Ah! What a pity for that handsome man.”

Jin Nuo, the fifth son of the Holy Land, frowned slightly. Compared with Lin Zhen and Zhao Lihua, he still thought that Lin Zhen had greater potential. But this was an arena, where the law of the jungle prevailed, and he could not interfere forcefully.

More than eight minutes had passed…

Zhao Lihua had started panting. Lin Zhen’s Immortal Spiritual Body was too troublesome. Especially since he was keeping his head low, grabbing her ankles to prevent her from moving, and not exposing any of his weak spots for her to attack, it would take her forever to kill him.

“You punk, your pill’s effect should be wearing off soon. When it does, your death will come!”

“Hm… why is there such a chill at my feet?”

Zhao Lihua looked down swiftly and, to her horror, discovered that at some point both her feet had been encased in ice by Lin Zhen, fastening them to the arena!

This cold ice emerged swiftly and spread rapidly, encapsulating her feet, knees, and thighs!

Resembling Eternal Mysterious Ice, it radiated a faint bluish glow. Despite her Star Power, she felt her lower body’s blood stagnate and lose its feeling!

“You little bastard! How dare you!” Zhao Lihua lifted her bamboo stick to strike again.

Lin Zhen powered through several hits from the stick, and staggered backward.

Seeing Lin Zhen’s movement, Zhao Lihua was terrified. If Lin Zhen managed to create distance between them, wouldn’t that give him a chance to unleash the Black Hole Storm?

Not a chance!

Zhao Lihua’s Star Power was still formidable. With a twitch of her hand, the planetary landscape that Qian Tong had given her rolled and tumbled. As it pressed down with unstoppable gravity, she aimed to crush Lin Zhen alive on the arena!

Facing the now descending planet, Lin Zhen, after armorization, let out a thunderous roar!

“It’s my turn now, isn’t it?”

“Constant Star… Fall~!”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

His thick arm waved through the sky, sending a mass of Star Power breaking through the air. It quickly gathered and swelled in the air, growing larger and larger till it turned into a flaming ball resembling a Constant Star. It flew into the sky, fiercely colliding with the planetary landscape!
