Chapter 316: Chapter 316: Reunion with Huo Luofu
Translator: 549690339
No one expected that Lin Zhen and Yan Huang’s battle would come to this, to the point where they wouldn’t stop until one of them was dead. But no one could interfere, their fate seemed already sealed.
In his daze, Lin Zhen saw the compass in his hand.
Above the compass, a large red dot approached at an extremely high speed.
Seeing this scene made Lin Zhen’s spirit tremble.
Extreme danger!
Yan Huang, who was now on the compass, was only a big black dot and hadn’t turned red yet; once it turned red, it would mean that he was unstoppable.
Yan Huang was now behind Lin Zhen, and he saw it too, his pupils instantly enlarged.
Who was coming?
Both of them almost simultaneously had the thought to stop the battle. If they continued to entangle, they would become a joke when someone took advantage of the situation.
Before they could do anything, they saw a figure sprung from behind a hill on the opposite side.
As soon as the man landed, he catapulted out more than a thousand meters, heading straight for the two of them.
With his strong muscles exposed, he wore only a pair of leather pants and held a huge war hammer in his hand. His eyes were blood red, looking nothing like a human.
“Huo Luofu!”
Both of them were stunned, not expecting to see Huo Luofu, who had been missing since the War God’s Knockout, here.
Huo Luofu’s appearance seemed different from before.
“Ha ha ha! Two human natives are fighting to death, and since you both want to die, you might as well do it in my hands.”
Huo Luofu’s intent to kill Lin Zhen was stronger than anyone else’s, and he couldn’t even accept Lin Zhen dying in the hands of others. With one leap, he appeared in front of the two, swirling his war hammer and striking it down.
Under this one blow, Star Power condensed, space torn apart, and both were in immediate danger!
At this moment, both Lin Zhen and Yan Huang let go simultaneously.
Teleport!
Yan Huang teleported, and so did Lin Zhen – his target was actually with Yan Huang!
Yan Huang appeared a hundred meters away, Lin Zhen at his side, and Huo Luofu followed like a cannonball.
“Ha ha! Although this body has no Spiritual Power, its powerful physical strength is enough to catch up with your teleport. You can’t escape!”
Yan Huang was furious, Lin Zhen was too cunning, and seeing such a ferocious opponent, he insisted on involving himself in the battle, a battle he didn’t want to fight.
Especially now that Huo Luofu had obviously grown even stronger, Yan Huang would rather watch the fight from the sidelines.
Lin Zhen would never give Yan Huang this chance; the current Huo Luofu was not Huo Luofu but a puppet controlled by an Extraterrestrial Civilization. Lin Zhen was absolutely no match for him at the moment, and his only chance was to use Yan Huang to entangle him while he escaped.
At this point in the battle, Lin Zhen had already proven his strength, there would be other times to face Yan Huang, but today was no longer suitable for fighting him.
Yan Huang’s continuous teleports didn’t shake Lin Zhen off, after all, teleporting had Star Power fluctuations. For a seasoned teleporter like Lin Zhen, he could easily determine the direction and distance of the opponent’s teleport based on their Star Power fluctuations, sticking to Yan Huang like glue.
Yan Huang didn’t even have time to attack Lin Zhen, as Huo Luofu, relying on his monstrous physical prowess, accurately pursued the two. The time gap between their pursuits shortened, leaving them no chance to teleport.
With no other choice, Yan Huang let out an angry roar, suddenly raising his hand, and the Holy Light Sword and shield returned to his grasp: “I am Yan Huang. Lucifer, Master of the Church, Huo Luofu, do you dare to attack me?”
“Just a native leader, sooner or later you’ll be ruled by us, what’s there to be proud of?”
Huo Luofu let out a strange laugh, appearing in front of the two, as Lin Zhen used his Lightning Wings to dodge and hide behind Yan Huang.
Intent on attacking Lin Zhen, Huo Luofu tried to jump over Yan Huang’s head, but this touched his reverse scale.
As the Pope, he could not bear the humiliation of being stepped on. He was already extremely aggrieved by his stalemate with Lin Zhen, but now Huo
Luofu wanted to use this move on him, which he absolutely could not accept.
“Get out of my way!”
With a leap, Yan Huang’s Holy Light Sword slashed down.
“You’re the one in my way!”
Huo Luofu didn’t want to kill Yan Huang, as he could see that Yan Huang was not easy to kill. Lin Zhen, on the other hand, was easier. Swinging his war hammer, Huo Luofu struck hard.
“Clang! ”
After a thunderous explosion, Yan Huang’s body was sent flying backward, being pushed back a hundred meters by Huo Luofu in midair.
Lin Zhen still refused to leave, flapping his Lightning Wings and arriving at Yan Huang’s side, with Huo Luofu immediately following like a ghost.
Yan Huang felt like vomiting blood in his heart, not expecting that Huo Luofu would be so strong. Although he didn’t want to fight, faced with countless church followers and a worldwide audience, he couldn’t back down from this fight.
A beam of white light descended from the sky, and the five Sacred Armors fell upon Yan Huang.
This was Lin Zhen’s first time seeing Yan Huang wearing a full set of Sacred Armor.
Bright white light shone on the armor, and at this moment, Lin Zhen discovered that the quality of the armor seemed to have improved.
“As expected, there’s some trick to it. After being infused with the power of Light Quantum, this armor set has actually improved in quality, turning it into a Middle Grade Holy Artifact set.”
“If Yan Huang had worn this set during our battle just now, I might not have been able to withstand a few moves.”
Yan Huang donned the Sacred Armor, turned to Lin Zhen and said, “Lin Zhen, dare you join forces to eliminate this Sand Russian first, and then settle our rivalry afterward?”
In Yan Huang’s view, Lin Zhen had nearly perished alongside him twice just now, and must hate him to the bone. Surely, he would want to determine their life and death as well.
As expected, Lin Zhen nodded, and the liquid metal in his hand turned into a long spear, seemingly ready to fight alongside Yan Huang.
Huo Luofu roared and charged, Yan Huang brandishing his longsword to meet him. Lin Zhen circled around from the side, apparently trying to attack Huo Luofu’s rear.
As expected, Yan Huang’s strength surged after donning the Holy Light Armor, his whole body brimming with Star Power, no longer easily repelled by Huo Luofu in a head-on confrontation.
However, as soon as he started fighting Huo Luofu, he saw Lin Zhen flap his Lightning Wings and, once again, head straight for the entrance to the second level.
“Damn it!”
Yan Huang roared angrily, wishing he could have grabbed Lin Zhen and devoured him whole. Huo Luofu also abandoned Yan Huang with a howl and pursued Lin Zhen directly.
Both men chased after Lin Zhen at nearly the same time, instantly disappearing from people’s sight.
The onlookers looked at each other in confusion, unsure of what was going on.
Chasing Lin Zhen was not an easy task. With a few flaps of his Lightning Wings, he made it to the entrance of the second level in less than thirty seconds.
Although Yan Huang and Huo Luofu were also fast, they were still slightly slower than Lin Zhen. As they entered the second level one after another, they could only see Lin Zhen’s figure heading in the direction of the South Pole.
Neither of the two attacked each other, they both just diligently followed Lin Zhen to the south.
However, once they set off, they discovered the difficulties of moving southward.
While the second level’s mid-zone still boasted lush greenery, the farther south they went, the lower the temperature dropped. First, they came to an empty Icefield with frost heaves, and, gradually, they could no longer see any green vegetation.
Looking at the wind-whipped icefield ahead, Huo Luofu stopped.
“No, I remember the second level very well. The temperature at the South Pole is more than a hundred degrees below zero. It’s impossible to pass without fire-resistant equipment and a Flame Heart. This body is powerful but still made of flesh and blood. Going to the South Pole like this will surely freeze to death. ”
Shu Mingxuan forcibly suppressed Huo Luofu’s desire for immediate revenge and turned back. Even if he wanted revenge, he couldn’t do it here. Moreover, he could simply go to the third level and intercept Lin Zhen, with no need to die here.
Huo Luofu temporarily gave up on pursuing Lin Zhen, but Yan Huang continued onward for a while longer.
After passing through the frozen wilderness, a large snow mountain appeared in front. The temperature had suddenly dropped to minus seventy degrees, and Yan Huang couldn’t stand it any longer. After all, he hadn’t prepared any fire-powered equipment; this kind of temperature was unbearable for humans.
“Damn Lin Zhen, you escaped by luck today. But don’t be smug; I’ll be waiting for you in Constantinople, ready to catch you in my trap.”
“Laricus, where the hell are you? You took my Breaking Boundary Nail and invisibility cloak and just vanished. If you were here today, Lin Zhen wouldn’t have been so rampant!”
Yan Huang cursed Lin Zhen and his missing teacher in his heart before turning back towards the first level.
By the time Yan Huang reappeared at the entrance of the first level, the long-awaiting Gods Clan followers immediately swarmed him, their eyes filled with expectation, hoping to hear that he’d killed Lin Zhen.
Yan Huang also wished to say that he’d killed Lin Zhen, but he couldn’t lie. Many Star List experts could see that Lin Zhen’s name was still on the Star List, and lying would be instantly exposed.
“Return to the church!”
Yan Huang’s face was ashen as he boarded the aircraft, and the surrounding Gods Clan personnel, not daring to breathe loudly, followed him.
The crowd gradually dispersed, but everything that had happened here was now known to the world.
Although the battle between Yan Huang and Lin Zhen ended inconclusively, Yan Huang’s status as a Meteor Stage cultivator meant that his inability to kill Lin Zhen in direct combat was actually a loss.
This left many Gods Clan followers extremely disappointed. Their attempt to capture Lin Zhen not only ended in failure but also resulted in many casualties. Several Star Realm Experts died, as well as a large number of Battle Gods and near-Star Realm cultivators. The Pope was almost choked to death by Lin Zhen, who ultimately escaped in the end.
This result was undoubtedly difficult to accept. Some Gods Clan followers began to lose faith in the church, and a new wave of defections quietly began.
When Yan Huang returned to the Divine Power Church in Constantinople, he heard about Gongsun Du’s performance in the Ancient God City.
His face darkened as he thought for a while before giving orders to those below: “I will now begin my retreat; I will not come out until I have completely refined the Star Sky Crown. During this time, don’t say or do anything; just wait for me to come out.”
“But Your Majesty…the number of church defectors is increasing.”
“No matter! Once I come out, everything will change.. Lin Zhen will die, my wedding will proceed as usual, and our Gods Clan will rise to glory again!”
