Chapter 204 - 204: 204: Lin Zhen I s Counterattack (3 updates)

“What a pity? He dared to kill Yue Feng, so he must be prepared for Yue Zhenhua’s retaliation. This is called an eye for an eye.”

“Yue Zhenhua is ruthless enough, deliberately putting Lin Zhen here and letting him be executed when he sees hope. This is true despair, worthy of the Gale Pavilion Master.”

“Shh, lower your voice. Didn’t you see Su Mingyue is still there?”

“What’s there to be afraid of? He’s going to die anyway. Maybe I’ll have a chance when he’s dead.”

“At your age, you still have this mindset… How shameless.”

People were discussing around, but their eyes were fixed on the center of the storm at the corner of the Heavenly Ladder.

It was getting hard to see human figures there, and the withered branches, dead leaves, and dust around were swept up by the storm. People could only roughly see Lin Zhen falling in a continuous spin inside the storm, while the Sword Gang in Yue Zhenhua’s hand became increasingly stronger, waiting for the moment when Lin Zhen would be cut in half when he approached.

Lin Zhen felt the wind around him like knives, cutting across his face. A single leaf grazed his face, leaving a wound behind.

“Hiss! This won’t do, I’ll definitely die once I hit the ground. Right now, I must find a way to stabilize my body.”

The wind was spinning, and the terrain was open. With nothing above or below, Lin Zhen looked around and saw the closest area when the Gale spun to the left, where it was closer to the trunk.

“The wind is contracting inward, and I’m getting farther and farther from there. The only chance is the next time I get close, I must stop! Even if it’s just for a second!”

As the distance to the trunk got closer, Lin Zhen suddenly stretched out his hand toward it!

Dark Star power within his body erupted at this moment: gravity!

Lin Zhen’s Dark Star power was now even more complex, a mixture of energy bodies, dark matter, light, electricity, golden qi, and cold qi that all invisibly expanded and increased gravity strength.

The gravity pull dug a hole a metre deep into the Star Fruit Tree’s trunk.

This was like two people pulling on a rope, with Lin Zhen acting as the forceful end. The pulling force made his body pause for a moment.

This pause was only a second, but it was a crucial second as Lin Zhen disrupted Yue Zhenhua’s long-prepared rhythm.

Yue Zhenhua’s Gale Slash had already been charged to the extreme, waiting to strike ruthlessly about two seconds later when Lin Zhen reached him. But Lin Zhen’s pause caught him off guard, and the power of the Gale Slash had reached the point where he couldn’t hold back.

His eyes widened as the rapidly spinning Gale accelerated again, trying to blow Lin Zhen to his front faster.

Lin Zhen only had time to use gravity once before feeling the wind around him suddenly increase several levels, and his body began to fall rapidly.

“Good, just like this.”

Lin Zhen tightly gripped the Star Weapon Spear in his hands, and strands of golden qi rapidly gathered at the tip. The explosive power of his compressed Dantian qi also began to burst at this moment.

He had never been one to passively take a beating. If Yue Zhenhua wanted to put him in a deadly situation, he had to respond and give him a fierce counterattack!

Yue Zhenhua raised the sword in his hand, the Sword Gang surging on it, and directed it at the rapidlv approachinq Lin Zhen: “Lin Zhen, stop strtæling in

vain. You can’t teleport or fly in my Gale. Although you’ve pulled some tricks, you still have to follow my rhythm and come to me!”

The Sword Gang suddenly enlarged, stretching more than three meters long, and he slashed down fiercely at a spot one meter ahead of Lin Zhen!

Since Lin Zhen was moving in an arc within the tornado, this slash was a pre-emptive strike. According to his wind speed, when the Sword Gang reached that point, Lin Zhen would also arrive there, and all that would be left were blood rain and severed limbs!

As the slash was unleashed, many people around couldn’t bear to close their eyes.

After all, the gap was too big. Lin Zhen, completely dominated by Yue Zhenhua and unable to counterattack, died in such a pity.

Guo MO sighed as he looked at the prepared graduation certificate, truly regrettable.

On the flying saucer, Gongsun Du slowly closed his eyes. If this were the case, the idea Allen had given him would not be needed anymore. But Yue’er would be devastated, perhaps he should go see her now.

Tears blurred Su Mingyue’s eyes as she bit her lip tightly: “Lin Zhen, don’t be afraid. Yue’er will accompany you back to the place where we belong, and we’ll be together forever.”

Just when everyone thought a tragedy was about to happen, the situation suddenly changed.

Behind Lin Zhen, the liquid metal suddenly opened and turned into a parachute-like circular plate, blocking most of the wind!

Lin Zhen’s feet were right in the center of the plate, and the liquid metal had only appeared for 0.1 of a second before returning to his waist. However, the immense wind force was now acting directly on Lin Zhen’s body!

Instantly, Lin Zhen’s speed soared tenfold!

Whoosh!

Like a ray of light, Lin Zhen appeared before Yue Zhenhua in the blink of an eye!

As for the Gale Slash, it only swept past that spot when Lin Zhen arrived in front of Yue Zhenhua, hitting nothing and flying far into the sky before gradually dissipating.

“Not good!”

Yue Zhenhua only had time to say these two words before Lin Zhen’s spear was already in front of him, forcing him to swing his sword with all his might to block it.

One had been plotting for a long time, while the other was caught off guard.

Although there was a significant difference in strength between them, Lin Zhen took advantage of his long weapon and the sudden increase in wind speed, closing the gap between them!

“Yue Zhenhua! This will teach you never to be overly arrogant, or you’ll capsize in the gutter!”

“Clang… hum!”

After the collision, the loud roar shook the eardrums of the onlookers. For a moment, the weapons of the two men were locked together; then Lin Zhen suddenly broke free, pushing Yue Zhenhua forward several dozen meters, nearly knocking him off the Star Fruit Tree!

Under Yue Zhenhua’s feet, the wooden steps were scraped into two deep gashes that stretched for several dozen meters, a testament to the tremendous force he had to endure to block Lin Zhen’s attack.

The gale had subsided, and Yue Zhenhua’s face was flushed in anger. His arms trembled, and just as he seemed about to leave the Heavenly Ladder range, he couldn’t bear the thought of defeat or of Lin Zhen escaping under his watch. Just when the momentum from Lin Zhen’s attack had been exhausted, Yue Zhenhua prepared for one final blow!

He suddenly twisted the long sword in his hand, and another smaller sword emerged from within! “Mother-child Sword!”

Someone in the audience exclaimed. Yue Zhenhua’s sword had a hidden secret; a sword within a sword – a fine Middle Grade Star Artifact indeed.

Dodging, Yue Zhenhua allowed Lin Zhen to continue falling downward, while he launched a lightning-fast backstab aimed directly at Lin Zhen’s heart!

Since he couldn’t stop Lin Zhen from leaving the fruit tree, he wanted him to land as a corpse!

As Lin Zhen and Yue Zhenhua passed each other, Lin Zhen could no longer control his direction. Sensing Yue Zhenhua’s strike, he didn’t hesitate and used liquid metal to block it. Lifting one hand, the light and electric metal in his palm was concentrated into an energy ball, which he furiously shot out behind him!

There was a loud bang, a flash of blood, a scream, and a man fell!

Yue Zhenhua’s short sword pierced through the thick liquid metal protecting Lin Zhen’s back. After piercing through the liquid metal, however, the short sword failed to penetrate Lin Zhen, merely injuring his back but not stabbing through his heart as planned.

Instead, Yue Zhenhua’s own back was hit by Lin Zhen’s energy ball, the electric power burning his back black and leaving him in an embarrassing heap on the steps of the Heavenly Ladder.

Lin Zhen’s body rolled to the ground, finally leaving the Heavenly Ladder range.

Su Mingyue let out a panicked cry as she lunged forward to catch Lin Zhen: “Lin Zhen, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, but I’ll probably need a few days of rest.”

The wound on Lin Zhen’s back was not insignificant, and he likely needed about ten days to recover.

“My God! I can’t believe it; Lin Zhen actually made it down!”

“This kid’s using his abilities and intelligence to hide among the ranks is truly an exceptional choice. He even knows how to leverage the liquid metal to harness the power of the wind and dodge Yue Zhenhua’s Gale Slash.”

“Moreover, his courage is truly admirable. He never thought of just passively taking a beating, but instead staged a counterattack at the last moment. Based on this alone, I’m optimistic about his advancement to the Star Realm.”

“Hehe, a Gale student injuring the Gale Pavilion Master; if it weren’t for the confidentiality of the training camp, I would really want to release this news. The click rate would definitely be sky-high!”

Those around looked at Lin Zhen with amazed gazes. Escaping the pursuit of a quasi-Star Realm with the strength of a Third Level War God, he was indeed the first of his kind.

Not to mention that he had personally injured Yue Zhenhua, which could be described as a heroic feat.

The news of this event would eventually spread, and at that time, Yue Zhenhua’s reputation would undoubtedly be damaged, and the two of them would become bitter enemies.

Yue Zhenhua got up, his back ablaze with pain. Glaring down at Lin Zhen, he gritted his teeth and grabbed the short sword in his hand, preparing to break his promise and charge at Lin Zhen once more!

He could no longer care about the consequences. At this point, if he didn’t deal with Lin Zhen, his pride might never recover. Even disregarding his vengeance for Yue Feng, he might not be able to advance to the Star Realm.

However, at this moment, three people were shielding Lin Zhen.

Su Mingyue threw herself on top of Lin Zhen, ready to protect him with her body.

Guo MO drew his sword and stood in front of Lin Zhen, prepared to repel Yue Zhenhua and uphold both the agreement they had made and his own authority as the head instructor of the training camp.

The third person was Gongsun Du, who appeared out of thin air. He sent out a ray of light with one hand, knocking Yue Zhenhua back and off his feet.

“Yue Zhenhua, today’s matter ends here. Do not shamelessly persist, for even

Chen Fenglie’s arrival won’t save you!” Gongsun Du stood in front of Su

Mingyue with his hands behind his back, clad in the star-speckled robe of the

Great Divine Sect..
