Chapter 314: 314: Lin Zhen VS Pope

Many people couldn’t get through since the entrance was too small, so they watched the live broadcast online, taken by the people in the front.

If ratings were to be calculated, over ninety percent of the world’s population were watching this live broadcast at this time.

Every Base City, every corner, every family, people were staring at the screen.

No matter what they were doing, or what they were occupied with, they couldn’t help but put their tasks aside at this moment.

Drivers on the highways stopped their cars on the side of the road and watched the live broadcast; there were hardly any vehicles in motion on the highways.

Women cooking at home also put down their frying spatulas, even if their dishes got burnt, they had no mood to take a glance at them.

Even many intimate activities came to a stop; at this time, no one was in the mood for such things.

On the streets and alleys, the big screens left behind from the War God’s Knockout were used again. Over a billion pairs of eyes were fixed on these two people, and no one took the initiative to speak.

The world seemed to fall silent at this moment.

Lin Zhen’s hands clenched the spear handle of the Seven Kills Spear, his expression serious.

Without a doubt, this would be the most challenging battle he had ever faced: a borderline Star Realm against Yan Huang’s peak of the Meteor Middle Stage.

Though Lin Zhen was certainly capable of challenging opponents of a higher level, he had always done so. With his current strength, he wouldn’t even fear an average opponent on the Star List. However, Yan Huang was different.

Yan Huang was definitely an expert who could challenge those at higher levels!

For example, among the War Gods, there were both ordinary and Elite War Gods; Yan Huang was definitely an elite among Star Realm Warriors.

The elite of elites!

However, Lin Zhen still had to fight. The whole world was watching, and he could not back down at this moment. Regardless of the outcome, Lin Zhen dared to try.

If the Pope’s faction is the Heaven, then I will pierce a hole in Heaven!

Yan Huang gently waved the sword in his hand, “Lin Zhen, this is the Holy

Light set’s sword; do you know about the Holy Light set?”

Lin Zhen smiled slightly, “Just a dead object.”

“You’re mistaken. Before your death, I will tell you that there are seven pieces

in the Holy Light set. Apart from the sword and shield, the other five pieces are armor. But in battles, I have only ever used this sword. Do you know why?”

“Because you’re a pig.”

A hint of anger flashed through Yan Huang’s eyes, “Don’t bite the hand that feeds! That’s because no one was worthy of making me use the shield or put on the armor. Lin Zhen, you’re no exception; with just this sword, I can take your life!”

“You can’t do it. You must use your shield, ” Lin Zhen shook his head slightly.

Yan Huang sneered disdainfully but did not keep arguing. He held his sword lightly, performing an opening stance.

Lin Zhen also firmly gripped his Seven Kills Spear with both hands, knowing that Yan Huang was about to make his move.

In the sky of the first layer, a Winged Dragon flew over the heads of the two men. It saw two prey on the ground, let out a strange cry, and swooped down from the air.

This cry was like the gunshot on a starting line.

The next moment, both men moved simultaneously!

Yan Huang rushed forward, leaving a trail of afterimages. The wind around his body howled, Light Power burst forth, and in a fraction of a second, he covered dozens of meters, brandishing his sword with dazzling white light, hurtling forward!

Lin Zhen, on the other hand, took a slight step back, bent his waist, and crouched. He swung his Seven Kills Spear left and right, instantly setting up layers of light curtains in front of him!

Defense counterattack, immovable like a mountain!

“Lin Zhen! Accept your death!”

Yan Huang’s sword fell, Light Power erupted from his body like a red sun suspended in the sky. Sword Light shot down!

Lin Zhen had used Light Power to dazzle the opponent’s eyes many times before, but obviously, Yan Huang’s Light Power was even stronger!

This man had already resonated with Light Quantum!

Lin Zhen closed his eyes slightly. As a Diamond Level Spiritual Mind Master, he had strong mental power and could sense everything around him without using his eyes.

“Ha…Go!”

After a “buzz” sound, a burst of light exploded from above the wilderness. A series of clashing sounds followed!

Yan Huang’s sword descended as Lin Zhen’s spear blocked it. Neither Lin Zhen nor Yan Huang retreated. The sword, being a shorter weapon, was more suitable for close combat. Yan Huang intended to kill Lin Zhen in close quarters.

Fast Sword!

At this moment, Yan Huang showed Lin Zhen what it meant to have a sword technique as fast as lightning. The opponent’s sword was like a venomous snake, no, like millions of venomous snakes, stabbing from all unimaginable angles, each strike aiming for Lin Zhen’s vital spots.

Layers of light curtains were broken through, while waves of Sword Light were intercepted. Lin Zhen was completely focused, with no distractions. Relying on his sensitive Spiritual Power, within three seconds, he blocked Yan Huangs attacks thousands of times!

“Lin Zhen, although your defense is good, today I’ll teach you a lesson that offense is the best defense, and your combat skills won’t save you!”

“Swish swish swish!”

Several lightning-fast swords stabbed at Lin Zhen’s face, throat, chest, and lower abdomen.

Lin Zhen’s spear moved quickly to block the attacks.

As the sword aimed at his lower abdomen approached, Lin Zhen suddenly had a strange feeling that the opponent’s sword had slowed down.

Lin Zhen also slowed down slightly with the opponent’s sword, but Yan Huang suddenly accelerated!

“Pfft!”

With one sword strike, blood splattered!

“This… Yan Huang can actually change the speed of his sword in such an intense battle!”

Lin Zhen’s pupils momentarily enlarged as the top-quality star artifact skirt armor below his waist couldn’t withstand Yan Huang’s sacred sword, and his lower abdomen was injured.

“Hahahaha! Lin Zhen, die!”

When Yan Huang succeeded with one attack, his battle tactics suddenly changed. Each sword was like a venomous snake swallowing its tail, unpredictable in speed, making it difficult for Lin Zhen to defend against.

In the following battle, Yan Huang demonstrated his advantage. Lin Zhen was struggling to adapt to this strange sword skill, and several wounds quickly appeared on his body.

Fortunately, the sacred armor protected him, preventing his vital parts from being easily injured.

However, Lin Zhen was never the type to passively take a beating. While the Immoveable Like a Mountain defense was formidable, it wasn’t very effective against Yan Huang’s strange sword skills, so Lin Zhen changed tactics.

As the opponent’s fast sword approached again, Lin Zhen gave up on defending and let his spear create multiple Storms of energy, while his six Seven Stars Knives simultaneously flew into the sky. Elemental energy filled the entire arena, and Lin Zhen launched a counterattack on Yan Huang with overwhelming momentum.

After one minute of intense fighting, Lin Zhen, relying on his spear skills and six flying knives, was actually able to compete with Yan Huang. Although he appeared to be at a disadvantage, his fighting spirit was still high.

Yan Huang seemed to be effortlessly attacking Lin Zhen, but inwardly, he was immensely shocked.

Lin Zhen’s speed, strength, spear mastery, and powerful spiritual power all had a tremendous impact on him. With his peak Meteor Middle Stage realm, it was surprising that after a minute of fighting, he couldn’t defeat a Star Realm Fighter like Lin Zhen. In reality, he had already lost.

Many people outside were cheering for Yan Huang’s victory, but in the eyes of those experts, Lin Zhen’s performance had actually surpassed him.

Those six flying knives were incredibly annoying, and Yan Huang had to focus on defending against each one. The powerful elemental energy contained in the knives couldn’t be ignored, which prevented him from fully committing to the offense.

“Should I take out my shield?”

As the thought crossed his mind, Yan Huang immediately rejected it. He had just claimed that one sword would be enough to deal with Lin Zhen, taking out a shield now would be like slapping his own face; it was absolutely unacceptable.

“It seems that I must use some more methods.”

Yan Huang knew that he couldn’t drag the fight any longer and had to show his true strength to defeat Lin Zhen as quickly as possible.

He urged the Light Quantum power in his body to its limit. The sky full of Sword Light rain instantly gathered and morphed into a streak of light, the myriad swords merging into one. Fusing sword and man, he charged out, instantly breaking Lin Zhen’s Storm spear energy, scattering the six flying knives and aiming straight for Lin Zhen’s chest!

Lin Zhen’s heart sank; he knew that Yan Huang, who had already comprehended the atomic power, was not his match. But he couldn’t just give up like this.

In such close combat, the spear was more of a burden. Lin Zhen covered the spear with an energy ball and with a single-handed push, he suddenly thrust it out!

Yan Huang twisted his body in mid-air to avoid Lin Zhen’s spear but also lost his momentum.

Lin Zhen’s spear shot straight into a massive tree hundreds of meters away, penetrating three feet into it and leaving a small part visible.

“Lin Zhen, how will you fight me without your spear? Die!”

Yan Huang saw that Lin Zhen was weaponless and swung his sword at him once more, launching a series of feints and real strikes, aiming to add more wounds to Lin Zhen.

However, he didn’t expect Lin Zhen to actually face his first attack head-on!

“Pfft!”

A huge wound suddenly appeared on Lin Zhen’s shoulder, but it brought him right up beside Yan Huang. He reached out and grabbed Yan Huang in a bear hug!

Yan Huang struggled to break free, but Lin Zhen stepped on the Plum Blossom Piles and moved behind Yan Huang, passing both arms under his armpits and pinning him down tightly!

“Looking for death!”

Seeing the six flying knives coming straight at him, Yan Huang controlled his sword with mental power to knock Lin Zhen’s knives away. He planned to attack Lin Zhen from behind with a flying sword, but Lin Zhen suddenly activated his Lightning Wings at maximum speed, hugging Yan Huang and slamming them both forward!

At four times the speed of sound, Lightning Wings propelled their bodies at high speed. Yan Huang’s pupils instantly enlarged as he saw that a few hundred meters ahead was Lin Zhen’s Seven Kills Spear!

The Seven Kills Spear embedded in the tree trunk, with a long and sharp tail exposed. Lin Zhen intended to crash into it while embracing Yan Huang!

“Idiot! Do you want to die together? Both of us will be impaled by this spear!”

“I, Lin Zhen, have only one miserable life, and it’s worth it to die along with you, the Pope!”

In the blink of an eye, they covered the distance of several hundred meters, and the cold spear tip flashed, leaving everyone around stunned.. They all thought that the Pope would easily crush Lin Zhen, but how did he end up being forced into a situation where they might die together?
