Age of Evolution

Lou Qingfeng indeed attacked with the intention of defeating Lin Zhen in one fell swoop, showing no mercy and launching his best move, a river of sword qi. In his eyes, Lin Zhen had just entered the War General Level and had little cultivation time and experience. Although Lin Zhen’s innate talent for battle was good, he couldn’t compare to himself. Lou Qingfeng believed that Lin Zhen would be unable to defend against such a violent attack.

However, he never expected that Lin Zhen had no intention of clashing head-on with him. Lin Zhen purposefully enraged him and lured him into attacking with full force, taking advantage of this opportunity to assault Li Tianhao.

Li Tianhao also did not expect Lin Zhen to act this way. Just a second ago, he was fully confident that Lin Zhen would be no match for Lou Qingfeng. In the next second, Lin Zhen was right in front of him!

Lin Zhen had planned this in advance, even if Lou Qingfeng turned back to chase him, there would inevitably be a two-second time gap. Within these two seconds, could Li Tianhao resist?

Lou Qingfeng had no confidence at all.

Old Hu stood in front of Li Tianhao, acting subservient. But he never expected Lin Zhen to bypass Lou Qingfeng and charge at him. He instantly regretted his own decision.

However, he had no other choice. If he backed down now, he would undoubtedly die, either by Lin Zhen’s hands or Li Wanfeng’s. So he could only brace himself and face Lin Zhen, hoping for a slim chance of survival.

Old Hut s weapon was an Opensky Saber. He wielded it with both hands and shouted at Lin Zhen, “Lin Zhen, if you want to touch Young Master Li, you have to go through me first!”

“It’s rare that you’re loyal for once. Then, die for your loyalty!”

Lin Zhen’s eyes turned cold. He hated traitors the most. Since Old Hu betrayed the Gale, it was time to pay the price!

At this moment, Lin Zhen didn’t hold back. He pointed his bright silver spear and charged forward, crashing into Old Hu with a thunderous impact!

Old Hu was an Intermediate War General, essentially a Four-level War General. Lin Zhen had reached the peak of the Third level. Their realms were not much different. Furthermore, Lin Zhen’s body had been enhanced by Dark Energy Stones and Lightning Ions, and he was a Spiritual Mind Master. His actual combat power far exceeded that of Old Hu. The outcome of their collision was decided in half a second!

Old Hu was knocked away like a ragged sack, crashing heavily thirty meters away. His body was stained with blood, and after his chest heaved violently twice, he died on the spot!

After taking out Old Hu in one hit, Lin Zhen’s speed barely slowed down as he continued to charge towards Li Tianhao.

Seeing Lin Zhen’s cold and frosty face and fluttering long hair as he approached, Li Tianhao felt death looming for the first time in his life!

He had been confident in setting a trap for Lin Zhen, but he didn’t expect Lin Zhen to fight his way through and break the trap, now trying to kill him with his own hands.

Li Tianhao clenched his teeth in fear and touched his Space Ring.

He still had a last resort to save his life. With it, he believed that it wouldn’t be easy for Lin Zhen to take his life. Additionally, he had used the Genetic Potion to enhance himself by 85%, so he still had a chance.

Just as Lin Zhen drew near, a red long knife appeared in Li Tianhao’s hand.

As Lin Zhen approached in mid-flight, his eyes lit up upon seeing the long knife!

Star Artifact!

Li Tianhao actually had a Star Artifact in his hand!

A Star Artifact was generally a weapon used by Star Realm Warriors. Its sharpness and toughness were far beyond any weapon on Earth, at least inaccessible to present-day technology.

Star Artifacts on Earth originated from the Leo meteor shower. They could only be found in the heavily afflicted areas of the meteor shower, which were the ancient god ruins containing Star Artifacts or ancient books.

These items from outer space were highly revered treasures for Earth Warriors. Most of them were in the hands of Star Realm Warriors, but some War God Powerhouses might also obtain them through chance encounters.

In his previous life, Lin Zhen had seen many Star Artifacts, even top-quality ones. But this was the first time he had seen one in this life.

“Haha! Your parents really spoiled you. They even gave you such a treasure for self-defense. Unfortunately, they didn’t know that good things only work in the hands of experts. Just hand it over!”

Lin Zhen raised his hand, and the Star Weapon Long Knife in Li Tianhao’s hand immediately slipped out, uncontrollably flying towards Lin Zhen’s hand.

“Lin Zhen! Give it back to me!”

Li Tianhao’s eyes instantly turned blood red, forget about the power gap between them. He wanted to rush forward to snatch the knife back, but as soon as he took a step, he realized the danger. He turned to run, but it was already too late.”

Lin Zhen casually put the Star Weapon Long Knife into his Space Ring. Then, with one punch, Li Tianhao’s head spun, and his body turned around, positioning him behind Li Tianhao. One hand gripped Li Tianhao’s neck, while the other held the bright silver spear, its icy tip resting on Li Tianhao’s throat.

This move made Lou Qingfeng, who had chased Lin Zhen from behind, forcefully stop in his tracks.

“Lin Zhen, don’t hurt Young Master!” Lou Qingfeng urgently shouted, no longer composed as before.

Lin Zhen smiled slightly, “He may be your Young Master, but not mine. For me, he’s my enemy. Why shouldn’t I hurt him?”

Lou Qingfeng took a deep breath, “Lin Zhen, let’s talk it over. There’s no enmity in the world that can’t be resolved. As long as you let go of Young Master Li, we can discuss any conditions.”

Just as Lin Zhen was about to speak, people were gathering around them. Those who were chasing him had returned.

Lang Tianxiao and the others returned to the front of Zhao Dong Building and saw Lin Zhen. They realized that they had fallen for Lin Zhen’s trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain. But now, they didn’t dare to move.

They had chased Lin Zhen to get the 30 billion reward offered by Li Tianhao.

But now that Li Tianhao was being controlled by Lin Zhen, even if they killed Lin Zhen, there would be nowhere to collect the money if he killed Li Tianhao in a fit of anger.

Without the motivation of money, the martial artists lost their previous passion and watched the situation unfold with indifference from the sidelines.

Li Tianhao tried to pull Lin Zhen’s arm with one hand, but Lin Zhen’s spear was immediately aimed at his neck, making a cut: “If you want to live, behave yourself! ”

“Lin Zhen, calm down, calm down!”

Li Tianhao quickly let go of his hand and begged Lin Zhen for mercy.

“Young Master Li, what’s wrong with you? Why are you begging me? Tsk, tsk!

Seeing your current state, I can tell that you’re going nowhere in life.”

“Yes, yes, I’m useless.”

Li Tianhao kept agreeing, his legs already soft and no longer domineering, he begged: “Lin Zhen, actually, there’s no significant enmity between us. It’s just that I became jealous because An Ning liked you, and I did many foolish things.

But then again, I didn’t cause any harm to you, and you’re even more famous now. Can we let bygones be bygones?”

“Do you think I would agree?” Lin Zhen sneered.

“I’ll compensate you, compensate you. Take my space ring. The ring itself is worth quite a bit of money; it contains a lot of cash and gold, about 700 or 800 million in total. It’s all yours… oh! And that knife too. My father said it’s very valuable, you can have it as well.”

“Humph! The knife is already mine.”

“Then… I promise I won’t bother An Ning anymore, and I’ll call you Big Brother from now on. I’ll listen to you in everything. Is that okay?”

Lin Zhen sneered: “Young Master Li, you probably don’t know that I have a trick where I can tell if someone is lying based on their breathing and heartbeat. Right now, I feel like you’re just stalling me, and as soon as you’re free, you’ll take revenge on me, won’t you?”

“1…. I didn’t!” Li Tianhao was somewhat guilty because Lin Zhen had guessed correctly.

“Enough, if you don’t have anything else to say, you can go!”

Just as Lin Zhen had enough of playing with Li Tianhao and was about to make a move, Lou Qingfeng’s phone suddenly rang.

“Hm! The signal is back.”

Lou Qingfeng glanced at his phone and quickly answered it with a changed expression.

“Put the phone in front of Lin Zhen.” On the other end of the call were Li Wanfeng and Zhao Siqing, currently video calling with Lou Qingfeng.

Lou Qingfeng didn’t dare to make any mistakes and immediately turned the phone towards Lin Zhen.

In the video, Li Wanfeng suppressed his anger and said to Lin Zhen: “Lin Zhen, as long as you let my son go, I’ll give you 10 billion!”

Lin Zhen curled his lip: “It seems that War God Li’s son isn’t worth that much.”

Zhao Siqing snatched the phone: “50 billion! Lin Zhen, 50 billion is the highest amount we can give you. As long as you let my son go, if not, it will be an endless chase to the ends of the earth between you and me!”

Looking at the frantic Zhao Siqing, Lin Zhen took a deep breath: “Mrs. Zhao, you probably don’t know my personality. In my whole life, I will never yield to anyone’s threats. Remember, anyone!”

“Then what will it take for you to release my son?” Zhao Siqing was going crazy, but she didn’t dare to flare up at Lin Zhen.

Li Wanfeng took over the phone again, his voice heavy: “Lin Zhen, think carefully about the pros and cons. Would it do you any good to make enemies of us? You can’t imagine the amount of power we have in Base City. If you let my son go now, you can still get 50 billion, and you don’t have to make enemies with us. I think you’re a smart person and you can make the right choice.”

The people around were silent, waiting for Lin Zhen’s choice.

Li Wanteng’s words made sense, and they were very persuasive. Whether it was the people in Zhao Dong or Base City, they were all thinking about what they would do if they were in Lin Zhen’s position.

They would probably choose the 50 billion and not make any enemies. The temptation was too huge, almost irresistible.

Lin Zhen seemed to ponder for a moment, “Looking at your video, you are in Gale, right? Is Lord Dongfang present? Let him answer the phone.”

In the video, Dongfang Jun quickly appeared.

“Lord Dongfang, what do you say?” Lin Zhen asked calmly.

Dongfang Jun showed a look of shame: “Lin Zhen, I’m in a bit of a predicament this time. I can promise you that from now on, the martial arts hall will be your strongest supporter. We’ve already agreed here in Zhao Dong that this is a matter between you and Li Tianhao, we won’t interfere, and there will be no consequences. ”

“Thank you, Lord Dongfang. With your words, I can rest assured.”

After Lin Zhen finished speaking, he said to Li Tianhao: “I believe in uprooting troubles. Leaving you alive is a disaster. Why would I intentionally seek trouble for myself? As for who wants to seek revenge, let them come!”

Having said that, he thrust his long spear forward, piercing Li Tianhao’s neck.

Li Tianhao didn’t say a word before he died on the spot!

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Siqing fainted from shock, while Li Wanfeng roared at the phone: “Whoever kills Lin Zhen for me, I will give him….”

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Zhen suddenly waved his hand, and without Lou Qingfeng paying attention, the phone flew directly into Lin Zhen’s hand.

Lin Zhen casually threw the phone on the ground and stepped on it hard: “Go to hell!”
